How did such immense wealth fall into my family?

Chapter 71 I will not do anything against my conscience
Xiao Gousheng didn't want the Tang family to pin this on the Zhao family.

However, "the Tang family is easy to deal with, but the people behind the Tang family are not. Let's wait and see what the Duke of Jin does. The Tang family is just a small fry. If the people behind the Tang family fall, the Tang family will naturally fall as well."

"Fine, you're really good at holding back. I'll pack up and set off."

"Thanks."

Old Dong glanced at the little dog, said, "Let's see how long you can hold out," before going to tidy up.

Both Qian Laifu and Qian Chunhua regretted it.

Qian Laifu: "I shouldn't have let your aunt go."

Qian Chunhua: "I shouldn't have thrown that basin."

Eighteen blinked. "Why are you blaming yourselves? It's clearly the Tang family who are bad."

“Exactly.” Little Dog Sheng pinched Eighteen’s chubby cheeks. “I’ll give you an extra chicken leg tonight.”

"Really?" Eighteen's eyes lit up immediately.

"When have I ever lied to you?"

Eighteen happily jumped into the puppy Sheng's arms. "Little niece, you're getting more and more beautiful."

"loquacious."

"hey-hey……"

A few days later, Granny Tian came to deliver vegetables and was very happy to see her granddaughter back. "Gousheng, you're back?"

"Mmm." The little dog said as it went to greet Granny Tian, ​​"Grandma, did you miss me?"

"I've been thinking about it. Where's your Grandpa Chang?"

"My grandfather and my grandfather went to collect herbs."

"That matter concerning your Grandpa Chang?"

"It's resolved. They apologized to my Grandpa Chang."

"That's good. Oh? Where's your Uncle Dong?"

“My Uncle Dong has gone to the capital,” Xiaogousheng said, repeating her guess.

After listening, Granny Tian scolded the Tang family again. "How could they be so wicked? They'll definitely get their comeuppance. Luckily, Grandma didn't let your eldest aunt take your second and third sisters. Your eldest aunt wanted to take them to the capital to broaden their horizons. What about your eldest sister and your youngest uncle?"

“My eldest sister is resting, and my uncle went to collect herbs with my grandfather and Grandpa Chang.”

"Oh." Granny Tian said as she walked towards the kitchen, "Grandma came this time to discuss your eldest sister's childbirth with you. Your eldest sister is about to give birth, should we hire a midwife?"

"Of course we'll invite you."

"Who should we invite? And how should we invite them?"

"Invite them openly and honestly, invite the best from our area. Our family is quite famous in this area now, if we invite them secretly, people will definitely become suspicious."

Granny Tian also wanted to ask openly and honestly, but said, "You haven't seen childbirth. When you give birth, you sweat a lot. The midwife can tell there's something wrong with your older sister's face just by looking at how much she's sweating, except for her face."

"Then don't let her see it."

"You won't let her see it?"

"Yes. I told her that my great-grandmother is vain and doesn't want outsiders to see her grinning."

"Is this okay?"

"Okay. The midwife is here to make money, not to see what my little grandma looks like. We won't dwell on that."

Granny Tian thought about it and agreed. "Then let's do it your way."

Granny Tian discussed the details with Little Dog Sheng and then went to find the midwife.

The best midwife in the area was surnamed An. Midwife An was playing with her grandson inside when a voice came from outside. "Is anyone home?" Midwife An's eldest daughter-in-law immediately came out of the house upon hearing this. "Yes, come in."

Granny Tian came in carrying a bag of pastries. "Are you the daughter-in-law of this family? Is your mother-in-law home? I've come to find her. I heard that she's the best midwife around here."

“My mother-in-law is home. Please come in.” The eldest daughter-in-law of the old woman looked at the pastries in Granny Tian’s hand. “And you are?”

Granny Tian said with a smile, "I'm from Qianjia Village. My husband found me a younger sister, and she's about to give birth. I've come to set a date with your mother-in-law so she won't be too busy."

Qianjia Village? Younger sister?

Did Anwenpo's eldest daughter-in-law find out who Granny Tian was? After finding out, Anwenpo's eldest daughter-in-law both sympathized with and envied Granny Tian. She sympathized with Granny Tian for having a greedy and heartless husband, and envied Granny Tian for having such a good in-law.

After serving tea, the eldest daughter-in-law of the old woman wanted to hear what Granny Tian and her mother-in-law were saying. However, her mother-in-law simply told her to take the child and leave.

The midwife smiled at Granny Tian. "Old sister, I have a rule when I deliver babies."

"What are the rules? Please tell me."

The old woman looked into Granny Tian's eyes and said, "Don't do anything against your conscience, you understand what I mean, right?"

Granny Tian didn't understand. She just asked her to deliver a baby, why was her conscience involved? "Young lady, can you explain this more clearly? In the city, is having a child related to conscience?"

Midwife: "..." Did this person genuinely not understand? Or was she pretending not to understand? "I just heard you say that you're hiring a midwife for your husband's concubine?"

When the midwife said the word "concubine," she emphasized it a little more.

Now, Granny Tian understood.

"Hey!" Granny Tian slapped her thigh. "I thought having children was different for you city folks than for us country folk. Let me tell you, my husband's young wife isn't much older than my granddaughter. I treat her like my own granddaughter."

"Besides, I'm already so old, why would I be jealous of a young girl? I'm just hoping my grandson will pass the imperial examination and become a scholar. If he does, my life will be complete."

"Don't worry, little sister. I'm worried that if I do something immoral, it will prevent my grandson from passing the imperial examination."

"Let me tell you, I not only invited you, I also invited a doctor."

Now the midwife was relieved. "That girl is lucky to have met you."

“I think so too.” Granny Tian leaned closer to Anwenpo and whispered, “Let me tell you, that child might be causing trouble. That child is lucky to have met me; if she had met someone else, they would have stopped her long ago.”

"is it?"

Granny Tian moved closer to Granny An. "As soon as that child came to my house, she complained that it was messy, dirty, and didn't have a front and back yard. I got annoyed by it, so I bought her a house in the city."

"Oh? You're so generous."

“I didn’t want to be generous, but she saved my husband’s and my granddaughter’s lives.”

That makes sense. "Is that so?"

"Yes. Otherwise, why would I treat her like a granddaughter? Why would I be so good to her?"

Now the midwife was completely relieved. "When will she give birth?"

"The doctor said it will take another half month. If she causes trouble then, please bear with me."

"Row."

After setting the time, Granny Tian took her leave.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, half a month has passed, and Qian Chunhua is about to give birth.

When the midwife heard that Qian Chunhua was about to give birth, she couldn't help but exclaim, "The doctor your family hired is really skilled."

"Yes," Granny Tian said as she led the midwife toward Qian Chunhua's room. "That child is causing trouble again. She insists that no outsiders should see her when she gives birth, saying she looks especially ugly during childbirth, and she wants us to put a curtain over her face. What kind of world is this where she's afraid of being seen? Who doesn't grimace during childbirth?"

The midwife smiled. "She's giving birth right now, so just go along with her."

Inside the house, Xiao Gousheng wiped Qian Chunhua's sweat while praying that the little one in her older cousin's belly wouldn't resemble the Duke of Jin and his heir, who were practically identical.

Thank you for correcting my mistake, darling. Wishing you a wonderful day! Sending you love! (*з)(ε｀*) *kiss*
