Chapter 3: New Life

On the evening of July 25, a summer retreat located halfway up the Funiu Mountain suddenly became lively.

In a small courtyard near the center of the courtyard, a young woman with a delicate body and a soft appearance is laboriously giving birth to a child with the help of a midwife.

"Congratulations, ma'am, it's a daughter. After a period of chaos, the midwife said to the pale mother with a smile while helping the newborn baby girl clean up her body.

A layer of gloom flashed in the mother's moist eyes, but another burst of pain followed prevented her from speaking.

The midwife had long known that this noble-looking lady was pregnant with twins, so she did not feel flustered.

handed the cleaned little girl doll to Mama Qi who was guarding aside, and the midwife happily went to deliver the second one.

Mama Qi first exchanged a look with the frowning woman with a painful look on her face, and then lightly carried the child outside the screen.

A quarter of an hour later, another baby in the mother's womb also came into the world.

"Congratulations to Madame for winning another daughter. The midwife's face was still the same smiling expression just now, but what she said made the mother on the bed instantly change her face.

"Mama Qi. The already very tired woman slowly closed her eyes, and her long eyelashes covered the disappointment and determination in her eyes.

"The old slave is here. Mama Qi didn't know when she had come to the mother's bedside, and she was still carrying a black lacquer carved food box in her hand.

The midwife suppressed the strange feeling in her heart, lowered her eyebrows and lowered her head to take care of the little baby girl in her hand.

"I'll leave the rest to you. The mother's voice was gentle and tactful, but the midwife who delivered her had a cold back for no reason.

"Yes, the old slave must live up to his wife's trust. Mama Qi's tone was steady and stern, and she opened the food box in her hand as she spoke.

"Mrs. Jiang. Mama Qi put the small swaddling clothes in her hand to the petrified midwife Jiang Pozi, and then put the little girl doll she had just cleaned up into the food box.

"Mrs. Jiang, thanks to you today, our wife was able to give birth to this son and daughter safely. Mama Qi stared at Mrs. Jiang fixedly with a pair of hanging eyes, "Our lady said that the reward for you will be doubled." In addition, the food and drinks in this food box will also be rewarded to you. ”

Mrs. Jiang looked at the "wine and food" in Mama Qi's mouth with a dull expression, and she couldn't speak for a long time.

Mama Qi stuffed the two silver envelopes into Mrs. Jiang's arms, and then handed the food box to Mrs. Jiang's hand, "Our lady is tired, I'll send you out." ”

Mrs. Jiang was pushed out of the delivery room by her, and then watched her blankly and called the maid to go in to serve the mother and the "newborn little son".

She knew that she had seen something she shouldn't have seen, and she was forced to get on the thief ship by the Qi Mama in front of her, but she didn't dare to show even the slightest abnormality.

She is just an ordinary peasant woman, although she is famous for her good delivery skills, but she is still a small citizen in her bones after all, not to mention the noble lady who gave birth just now, it is this Qi Mama in front of her, if you want to pinch her to death, it is as simple as pinching an ant to death, so in addition to obedience, Mrs. Jiang has no other choice at all.

Mrs. Jiang obediently left with a food box and silver.

Mama Qi, whose name is "send" is actually "charged", personally watched her out of the courtyard, and then whispered in her ear to threaten her, "Those 'wine and food' will be handed over to you, for the sake of your family, you should know what to do, right?"

Mama Qi's voice was gloomy, and Mrs. Jiang couldn't help but shiver, she nodded like garlic, "Don't worry, old man, then ...... As soon as I swallowed the 'wine and food' in my stomach, even if I was in charge of the house and my children, I would never let them see or smell anything. ”

Mrs. Jiang's words were twisted and turned, but Mama Qi understood the meaning of her words.

She smiled with satisfaction, and while the old man guarding the door was not paying attention, she leaned into Jiang Pozi's ear and whispered a few words.

Mrs. Jiang was so frightened by her that she stumbled under her feet, and the food box in her hand almost fell to the ground.

Mama Qi's face was gloomy, but she quickly helped Mrs. Jiang carry the food box, and then she glared at Mrs. Jiang fiercely with her hanging eyes.

Even though the sky was already very dim at this time, Mrs. Jiang could still see that Mama Qi's face was very unkind.

She shuddered, and swore that she would do what Mama Qi told her.

Only then did Mama Qi let go of her hand on the handle of the food box, "Then let's do it quickly." ”

Mrs. Jiang responded "yes" repeatedly.

Mama Qi waved her hand impatiently, and Mrs. Jiang turned around and left with a food box that seemed to weigh a thousand gold under Mama Qi's knife-like gaze.

Mama Qi snorted contemptuously, until Mrs. Jiang's figure could no longer be seen, and then she hurriedly turned back to the inner courtyard.

Neither of them noticed that the little girl doll, whom they called "Wine Food", never made any sound after that, except for the cry when she was born.

Mrs. Jiang, who was forced to get on the thief ship, didn't dare to take home the large food box containing the little girl doll, but she didn't drown the little girl doll in the food box as Mama Qi hinted.

She firmly believed in the reincarnation of gods and ghosts, so she was afraid that the heavens would be clear and the retribution would be unhappy, and after getting rid of Mama Qi's cold gaze, she sneaked into the forest not far away.

The people of their family have lived here for generations, and the girls of the peasant families are not as delicate as the big families, and Mrs. Jiang has followed her father and brother to the mountains to collect medicine, collect firewood, cut grass, and collect mushrooms since she was a child, so she is very familiar with the geographical environment around here.

There was a small river in the woods she had turned, which was connected to one of the tributaries of the Ru River, and Mrs. Jiang carried the food box to the bank of the river, and then made a simple raft out of sturdy vines and arm-thick branches.

"Little girl, don't blame your mother-in-law for being ruthless, your mother-in-law really doesn't dare to keep you. Mrs. Jiang muttered to the little girl doll in the food box while tying the branches hard, "Your mother is not a simple person, and your mother-in-law has a family to take care of." ”

After the raft was completed, Mrs. Jiang took out the little girl doll in the food box, looking at the quiet little girl doll in her arms, Mrs. Jiang put her on the raft, and couldn't help but sigh at the ruthlessness of her mother, "...... Such good dolls are willing to drown, these nobles' hearts are really ruthless...... My wife has also done sin, alas......"
