Chapter 146 Malposition of the Fetus
"Moreover, Song Daikui's mother went around telling people that Lu Qingqing was skilled; she could give birth in the time it took for her to yawn!"
That's hilarious! Does she think hens lay eggs?
“Mother, Lu Qingqing is a doctor. Why would she take your job? If she does, all the families who are better off will go to her, and you will earn even less money.”
"Going out all day and only earning enough tofu to bring back is something people would laugh at if they told them..."
The daughter-in-law spoke the last sentence very softly.
"In the time it takes to yawn?" Aunt Li asked in surprise.
Oh my goodness!
After saying so much, how come Mother only heard this one sentence?
"Who knows how long it will take, but it'll be quick anyway."
Aunt Li fell silent again, her brows furrowed tightly, forming two dark furrows.
"Mother, Song Daikui's family gave us two hundred coins, and they even said they wanted to give us eggs, but Lu Qingqing refused them," the daughter-in-law added.
"You're both delivering babies, so why is there such a big difference? You could deliver ten babies and still not be as good as her once."
I think Song Da Kui couldn't find a midwife, and he was afraid of being laughed at for spending so much money on the delivery, so he deliberately said it was okay!
Aunt Li seemed not to hear; she was unusually silent today.
Her son seemed to realize that something had happened to Aunt Li, and gestured to his wife to stop talking.
After finishing a cornbread and drinking some water, Aunt Li felt a little better about her empty stomach.
"I want to tell you something... I'm getting old and don't want to deliver babies anymore."
The son and daughter-in-law were taken aback, then panicked: "Mother, what happened? Everything was fine."
"Mother, even a piece of tofu will do. It's just a good deed when you encounter families in need." The daughter-in-law dared not complain.
Even if Aunt Li doesn't earn a lot, at least she can keep the family from going hungry. If she stops working, the family will be in even more trouble.
Seeing their flustered expressions, Aunt Li sighed.
He turned his back, wiped his face, and went back inside.
She wouldn't even accept a single piece of tofu from anyone.
Neither the big nor the small survived.
If it were Lu Qingqing, could she save the person?
After all, Ms. Feng also suffered from postpartum hemorrhage at that time...
The next day, Lu Qingqing went to the kitchen early in the morning to marinate the meat.
Qiaoxiu walked out of the room and followed behind her.
After sleeping together, she and Lu Qingqing became even closer.
Lu Qingqing was peeling garlic, and she followed suit.
Lu Qingqing was peeling potatoes, and she watched, wanting to peel some too.
Lu Qingqing then handed over all the work to her.
Chen Cuihua came over, watched quietly from outside for a while, and then left with red eyes.
Her daughter is definitely not lazy; she's quite capable!
When Fu Leng arrived, Lu Qingqing and Qiaoxiu were making a cake.
He stood at the kitchen doorway, which startled Qiaoxiu.
He shrank back and hid behind Lu Qingqing.
"Sorry, appearance is genetic. I'll cover my face next time."
Fu Leng thought being a bodyguard was pretty good; everyone wore masks, so there was no distinction between beautiful and ugly.
Why.
But is he really that ugly?
This guy is being quite polite now.
"Qiaoxiu, go find your sister-in-law," Lu Qingqing said.
Qiaoxiu obediently slipped out.
“Miss Lu, the young master asked me to bring over a few medicinal seedlings.”
Is it really worth sending someone to deliver just a few medicinal seedlings?
Lu Qingqing took a look and realized, no wonder, it was Dendrobium!
This is very precious, so Lu Qingqing quickly checked the stem.
Where did he get it?
This thing grows on rocky cliffs, so even if you find it, it's not easy to pick.
“This…Young Master bought it from a mountain farmer.”
"Bought?" Lu Qingqing frowned. "How much did it cost?"
"One tael of silver."
It's alright, not too outrageous.
But these were immature seedlings, and the mountain farmer greedily picked them. In reality, they were completely useless, and the one or two taels of silver was truly a waste to others.
Fortunately, she was able to continue planting.
Lu Qingqing offered to pay, which startled Fu Leng, who dodged away.
She looked like a monstrous flood.
"Don't worry, I'm a fair person. One thing at a time. We've settled our scores from before. As long as you don't mess with me again, I won't bother you anymore."
"Hehe, okay, Miss Lu. But this was a gift from the young master; he didn't say he'd accept money."
Okay then.
Lu Qingqing put the money away and soaked the dendrobium seedlings in water to revitalize them.
Then continue making the cake.
Fu Leng still hasn't left.
"Miss Lu, what are you making?"
Recently, the young master started learning to cook, and so did he. Lu Qingqing's cooking was delicious, so he learned a couple of tricks to cook for the young master.
"I'm making a cake because today is my dad's birthday."
Ah! It's Old Master Lu's birthday, and he didn't even bring a gift.
Fu Leng felt around on his body and finally touched the white jade egg.
The young master doesn't want it anymore. He figured the jade wasn't of very good quality anyway. Once the young master regains his high position, there will naturally be better jade for him.
I was just thinking of selling it at a pawnshop, but how about I just give it to Old Master Lu as a birthday gift?
So Fu Leng took it out.
Lu Qingqing: "..."
This time she saw it clearly—wasn't it the very piece she had sold? There was a very tiny pore on the side!
"Where did you buy this jade? How much did it cost?"
“It was bought from Hui Cui Silver Shop, forty taels! It’s the best there. Miss Lu would make a waist pendant for the old man and inlay a silver hairpin, which would be quite nice.”
Forty taels!
Okay!
Make twenty taels of silver by reselling!
"Too expensive, you should..."
Who knew that Fu Leng would kneel down like a spineless shrimp again.
Lu Qingqing: "..."
Did she really give this tough guy psychological trauma?
Or is Fu Leng just a coward who's all bark and no bite?
"Miss Lu, please accept this. Our young master doesn't need it anymore. He gets angry when he sees me preparing it."
"Alright, I'll take it. I'll say it again, we've already settled our score. As long as you don't mess with me, I really won't do anything to you."
"Thank you, Miss Lu."
Fu Leng stood up. "Miss Lu, is there any special story behind this cake? I've never heard of it before?"
"There's no particular explanation; it's just a dessert."
"Then I'd like to learn how to make it too, so I can make one for my young master's birthday."
What a deep bond between master and servant!
Lu Qingqing then taught him: "Like this, like that, like this..."
"Make a few thin candles... stick them in... make a wish, blow them out... and cut the cake."
Fu Leng was shocked: "Blow out the lamp and remove the candle?!"
Lu Qingqing: "..."
!! !! !!
Unable to resist, she picked up the cake and smashed it over his face.
Fu Leng ran out with cake all over his face, intending to wash it off by the water tank, but he accidentally licked it.
Wow, this tastes really good!
He wiped it on the left and on the right, and ate it all.
When he could open his eyes, he saw many pairs of eyes looking at him with disgust under the shed.
"Xiaowan, who is this? He's so filthy..."
"What is he eating? Paste?"
"Tsk tsk tsk..."
Fu Leng: Okay, stop washing your face. Don't let anyone see your true face.
Seriously, being a bodyguard is still the best.
...
Outside the Lu family's gate, people could be faintly seen arguing.
“Mom, that family is offering 100 coins. What are you doing? My sister-in-law from my own family went to great lengths to introduce us to this person.”
"I checked, the baby is breech, I'm not sure."
"Mother, there are plenty of babies with breech presentations, and you've delivered quite a few before, so why aren't you doing it this time!"
No, you don't understand!
When Feng Xiaowan opened the door, she saw Aunt Li and her daughter-in-law arguing outside.
This mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have always had a harmonious relationship, what happened?
"Auntie, sister-in-law, is something the matter? Come in quickly."
"Mother..." the daughter-in-law called out again, her eyes pleading.
Aunt Li patted her hand and said, "Cao'er, some money can't be earned by force; it could lead to someone's death."
