The heavy rain in Dongryo Province covered a large area, not only the heavy rain and hail in Kyoto, but also the southwest and a heavy rain fell along the large flat ground of the Dajie Mountain.

A layer of hail also fell in Lingzhou Mansion. However, it was much lighter than Kyoto, and it did not cause much damage.

The yard was full of water, and the Liu family closed the door and watched the rain through the window at home.

Only Liu Wan was restless, holding an oil-paper umbrella in his hand, "Why hasn't the stinky lady come back yet?"

Qian'er persuaded behind him: "Young master, don't hold an umbrella, I remember what my little grandmother said, walking outside with an umbrella on a thunderstorm is the most dangerous, and you will be struck by lightning." ”

Liu Wan didn't dare to joke with his life, so he simply walked in the rain after taking the umbrella, and soon his whole body was soaked and he became a chicken in the soup.

"Child, you better come back and avoid it, you are weak, in case of gonorrhea, it will be bad—your daughter-in-law is smart and has many ideas, and she will be fine. The second aunt also came out to persuade her.

Liu Wan was so anxious that tears came out, "She's sometimes smart, but sometimes she's stupid to death, she must be trapped by the rain somewhere—how good is this—"

In the corner courtyard next to it, Qiao's mother was also anxious to go in and out of the door, usually this point should indeed come back, the child of the Liu family lady was hungry, and she cried.

Liu Xue jumped down from the kang and ran out barefoot, but was stopped by Bai Chen's and was not allowed to go out, she could only look outside through the crack in the door, "Little sister-in-law won't let the water wash away, this rain has become a flood." ”

Bai Chen pulled Liu Xue into the door, "Why can't you change your frizzy temperament, even if it rains, even if you care about her, you can't help but abide by the rules of your daughter's family, you run out barefoot like this, so that others don't laugh off your big teeth, do you want to spread the reputation of your dignified daughter?"

Liu Xue pouted: "What's wrong with me being barefoot in my own house? and no outsiders see it, who would be so boring to pick these thorns." My sister-in-law said that people live in the world according to their own hearts, if they live for others everywhere, what is the point of being tired!"

Bai Chen was even more angry, "You, you, I said, you can't learn well with your child daughter-in-law and sister-in-law - even if your father indulges her now, your whole family treats her as a baby, but have you thought about it, what is her background, what is your background, your background is different, child, you are the eldest lady of gold and jade, my little aunt and grandmother, when you grow up, you will be a young grandmother, how can you compare with these people - they are one by one, how can they understand this, following them, can only delay you!"

Qiao's mother was so angry when she heard this outside.

Although this Bai Chen is not more vicious than her dead sister, it is not a fuel-efficient lamp, living here eating dumb aunts and flowers and arranging these words behind her back, it is really not a thing!

According to Qiao's mother's idea, it is good to drive this Bai Chen family and their family out of the Liu family, why should they be raised.

But the dumb aunt didn't speak, and put people in this corner courtyard, staring at the people in this courtyard under her nose every day, making people feel uncomfortable.

The twilight fell, and the rain finally stopped, and when Liu Wan saw that the rain had stopped, he no longer ignored the dissuasion of his second aunt and Qian'er behind him, rushed out of the middle courtyard and went straight to the gate.

Going out through the side door, a few people in the porter were chatting.

He spread his legs and ran in the direction of Wanji.

Behind him, Uncle Zhong rushed out, but Liu Wan was willing to listen to Uncle Zhong's nagging, stepping on the stagnant water on the street, crackling and rushing forward.

Old Uncle Zhong was not at ease, so he personally led people to chase after him.

When he arrived at the door of Wanji, Liu Wan looked up and saw that the door was open, and the light was shining inside.

Liu Wan rushed in, there was no dumb aunt in the hall, he rushed into the small consultation room, medicine store, and fitting room to look for it, but he didn't see the dumb aunt, he didn't care about anything else, and pushed open the room where the baby was delivered.

I saw the stinky woman, she was dressed in white, with a homemade mask on her mouth, and she was really busy.

She didn't raise her head: "Who, buy medicine or deliver a baby?

Hearing this familiar voice, Liu Wan suddenly wanted to cry, he ran too hard, he couldn't breathe, and held his knees with both hands and gasped.

Wang Qiaoshou rushed over: "Why did a big old man rush in without saying hello? You also came to this kind of place? Why don't you go out quickly? We are delivering babies, what do you see?"

Liu Wan was viciously pushed out.

He is not angry, as long as the stinky woman is there, seeing that she is well, his heart will be stable.

"My little ancestor—it's a slippery day—" Old Uncle Zhong finally arrived.

The dumb aunt came out, took off the white gloves covered with blood on her hands, took off the mask on her mouth, and saw Liu Wan and Uncle Zhong smile, "It's here to pick me up, hehe, it turns out that you all think about me, thank you so much, I thought I was alone and no one cared about——"

Old Uncle Zhong smiled: "How can it be, such a heavy rain, the little grandmother doesn't come back after dark, we are in a hurry, especially Brother Wan'er, oops, just wading in the water and running, you see that the shoes are all wet." ”

Liu Wan snorted: "Hmph, I just want to come out and have fun by myself, who cares about her as a stinky woman!"

The dumb aunt chuckled, but did not linger, changed another pair of gloves, put on a mask and went in again.

"Don't go back yet—" Liu Wan muttered, "You haven't eaten dinner." Why are you so desperate?"

Wang Qiao's hand was replaced, and she gasped and fought back: "Human life is at stake, what can you do if you don't do your best!" The dumb aunt said that no matter when, as long as the mother can come to our store to give birth, it is a trust in us, and we have to deliver the baby well. Besides, this daughter-in-law is my relative tonight. We have to be more attentive. ”

Liu Wan was so angry that he stuck out his tongue, and Wang Qiaoshou now became more invisible than the stinky woman.

At this time, the dumb aunt suddenly shouted: "Sister Wang, that contract, have you asked the mother's family to sign it, if you can't sign it, press your fingerprints." ”

Wang Qiaoshou replied in a louder voice: "It's early—girl, don't worry, what about my relatives, what are you afraid of?"

"Tell them to sign it, don't be careless - everyone who comes to produce has to sign it. ”

Wang Qiaoshou took out a notebook from the bottom end of the cabinet containing medicinal herbs, and trembled, "It's really signed early, girl, you can rest assured, nothing will go wrong!"

Liu Wan was curious, and asked for the book from Wang Qiao's hand to take a closer look.

There are words written one by one in the book, and it can be seen that they are all stinky mother-in-law's handwriting, "Accidental risk negotiation contract caused by force majeure factors in the production process." "When did the stinky woman make this happen. It had been a long time since he had slept in the same room, and he no longer knew what she had done, and how many strange thoughts she had in her heart—the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this woman was incomprehensible. What's even more strange is that the more he can't see through, the more attached he is to her, and he can't sleep together at night, and he goes to the corner courtyard early in the morning during the day, as long as he sees her, he has the spirit to read, write, and practice martial arts all day.

These contracts, one by one, are marked with red handprints.

Each one has a date, name, and home address.

Turning to the last page, I didn't see today's date, I turned forward, there were two cases yesterday, and there were no women who gave birth the day before yesterday.

Is it necessary to press the handprint on the contract of the day when you come to produce?

Then why is today's contract blank, and Wang Qiaoshou insisted that it was pressed.

On the stool next to him, a man who looked like a boy was sitting in a daze.

Liu Wan tried to get up, "Are you the man who gave birth to the daughter-in-law in the house?"

The man nodded.

"You've got to sign your name here. Or press a mudra. Liu Wan handed over the booklet.

The man glanced at it and read, "During the delivery process, we will do our best in a responsible attitude for life." If there is an accident due to unpredictable reasons, such as heavy bleeding, dystocia, maternal heart disease, etc., it is a force majeure cause accident, and the delivery staff of our store is not responsible. Please make an informed decision about whether or not to choose to have the product delivered at our store. It is hereby affirmed. ”

"What do you mean? Do you mean that if my daughter-in-law gives birth to a child and dies, you are not responsible?" the man's eyes widened.

"Maybe that's what it means. Liu Wan nodded, "Women give birth, since ancient times, it has been a ghost gate, but I don't know how dangerous it is, after all, I, like you, have never given birth." ”

The man was irritable: "I can't care so much." I just want you to keep my daughter-in-law, mother and son safe. ”

Liu Wan insisted on pointing to the contract, "You have to sign it, if you don't sign it, I will tell them that you can't deliver you." After all, people's lives are in God's hands, and we can't say when God will summon people. ”

Saying that, I really got up and went to find the dumb aunt.

"Forget it, I signed it, my daughter-in-law is strong, and bad luck will definitely not be spread on our heads. ”

Liu Wan hurriedly looked for a brush.

When the man saw the trouble, he regretted it again, "Forget it, I'll press the handprint." If you want to do what I want, calling a midwife in your own house will solve the problem, but my aunt said that you are good here--if it weren't for the fact that she personally opened this Wanji, I wouldn't have bothered to send my daughter-in-law here--delayed me to go to Elm Alley. As he spoke, he took the clay box handed over by Liu Wan and pressed his fingerprints on the contract so-so.

As soon as Liu Wan closed the booklet and put it back in the drawer, Wang Qiaoshou broke out of the midwifery room and shouted sharply: "Quickly boil some hot water - according to this list to dispense medicine and boil it!"

Mrs. Liu Xiucai took the order, "What's the matter, eldest sister, isn't it ......?"

"The situation is a little bad - the child is not big, it's just ......" said the man who looked outside, "Avi, hasn't your daughter-in-law eaten properly for two days, why doesn't she have any strength?"

The young man named Avi shook his head: "I didn't pay attention to this, my mother is waiting for it, and besides, I'm not at home all day long, I don't know this." ”

Wang Qiaoshou glared, hating that iron could not become steel: "Loser, when it gets dark, you know that you are soaking in Elm Alley—"

Liu Wan was curious, approached the man and tried to ask, "What is the place in Elm Alley?"

As soon as the man heard that someone was interested in this, he suddenly came to his senses, and lowered his voice with a mystery: "You don't even know this? It's already the most lively place in our Lingzhou Mansion, there are gambling money to play at night, as long as you are lucky, you can make money——"

Liu Wan breathed cold air, his feelings are a casino.
