I was divorced because I got pregnant during the lean years, so I went back to my parents’ home and

These women were from the south city and nearby villages. They made embroidery works and set up stalls to sell them.

Ji Xiaobei walked up to a woman, picked up a handkerchief from the basket and looked at it carefully.

The woman quickly put down her needlework, stood up and asked, "Miss, do you want to buy a handkerchief? Here are a few styles. Take your pick!"

Ji Xiaobei said: "I don't want to buy handkerchiefs. My handicraft shop needs a few embroiderers. You can take the work back and finish it within the specified time. We will pay you immediately after inspection..."

As soon as Ji Xiaobei finished speaking, several embroiderers came over.

"Girl, please see if I can do it..."

"And mine, I've been doing it for more than ten years, and I know several needle techniques..."

……

"How about this, you give me one of your favorite embroidery pieces, and I will take it back to let my shopkeeper take a look. If it's qualified, you can come to my shop to get the embroidery work!" said Ji Xiaobei.

"Really? That's great..."

The women said one after another.

Ji Xiaobei collected a dozen or so good embroidery jobs, gave them some money, and left.

It was getting dark and she walked out of the Nanjiao Market.

Huang Po and Lian Feng were also packing up their stalls.

After getting in the car, Huang Po angrily said to Ji Xiaobei: "Xiaobei, guess who I met today?"

Ji Xiaobei didn't say anything, waiting for Huang Po to speak herself.

"I met Madam Gui's maid. Guess what, she squeezed into the crowd and saw me. She was stunned for a moment, then turned and left. Madam Gui is so rich, why would she go to see a wild doctor? It's really strange..."

Lian Feng didn't want to hear that and interrupted his godmother: "Godmother, what's wrong with being a wild doctor? We are the ones who cure diseases and save lives. So many people in the neighborhood come to us for treatment. We should call them miracle doctors!"

Ji Xiaobei smiled and said, "It seems that I have to go to the government office as soon as possible to get the medical documents for the two miraculous doctors, so as not to delay their service!"

Huang Po's eyes sparkled, and she asked excitedly, "Bei, are you telling the truth?"

"Miss Ji, that's not easy to do. It requires on-site assessment once a year!" Lian Feng said.

Mrs. Huang slapped Lian Feng on the back of his head and said, "Children should not interrupt when adults are talking."

Lian Feng: You almost hit the back of my head flat! Humph!

"Bei, if you need to take care of the paperwork, Lian Feng's money is with me, so don't worry about it, just spend it..."

……

They quarreled all the way to the yard where Fu Jichang lived.

After hearing this, Fu Jichang immediately agreed to help find out what to do.

Grandma Huang was smiling happily, and during the meal, she kept picking up some food for Xiaoyaozi.

After dinner, Lian Feng helped Huang Po back to the textile workshop.

Only Ji Xiaobei and Fu Jichang are left.

Heita turned off the lights early and went to bed.

Miss Ji is here, and the master has someone to chat with. These days, whenever the master can't sleep, he comes to chat with him.

He is so sleepy and needs to get some sleep.

As usual, Ji Xiaobei was walking in the yard, round and round, with Little Curly and Ji Deyan following on his left and right.

Fu Jichang followed behind Ji Xiaobei.

She held her stomach and felt the weight dropping even more.

I have to ask Grandma Huang to check my pulse tomorrow, I'm afraid it will be early...

The due date she calculated herself might not be accurate.

Fu Jichang noticed that she was walking slower and asked, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

Ji Xiaobei said hesitantly: "It's okay, I'm tired, I'm going back to sleep!"

Fu Jichang was a little worried, but he didn't dare to ask too much, so he turned around and knocked on the door of the black tower.

Ji Xiaobei returned to the house, holding his tight belly, feeling a little nervous. Huang Po had just left, and he didn't want to disturb her.

She took out a cup of yogurt, drank it, and lay down to sleep.

I slept very uneasily at night and was woken up several times by the baby in my stomach.

She dreamed of Zheng Guo.

Fu Jichang's blood test was fine. After Zheng Guo arranged things at the boxing gym, he followed Zhang Hong to the countryside.

That means that I won’t be able to receive any letters from Zheng Guo for quite some time.

She was feeling very uneasy, anxious about the upcoming birth.

She was also worried about Zheng Guo. Zhang Hong went to the countryside to investigate an unsolved case, which was very dangerous. The criminals might be right next to them.

Daybreak arrived in a daze.

When she got up, Aunt Xie had already prepared breakfast.

"You can rest here during the day. I'm going to the capital today!" said Fu Jichang.

"I'm going to Zhuangzi, there are still some things I haven't arranged!"

"I'll go with you!"

"No need, Brother Chang!" Ji Xiaobei said with a smile.

Since yesterday, Ji Xiaobei has been calling himself Brother Chang in a sarcastic tone.

"I didn't know Murong Baoqian came to Anzhou. I just happened to meet her. Her grandmother and I..." Fu Jichang explained.

"Hey, I'm not interested in Miss Baoxi. I'm full. I'm leaving now. You can eat slowly!"

After saying that, Ji Xiaobei stood up and his stomach sank.

She subconsciously supported it.

Fu Jichang looked at her worriedly and said nothing.

At this time, Mrs. Lin walked in quickly.

"Xiaobei, are you okay?" she asked anxiously.

"Mom, I have something to say. Please come with me to the farm!" Ji Xiaobei said.

Mrs. Lin glanced at Fu Jichang and said, "I'm glad you're alright. Mrs. Huang will be here soon to take your pulse."

Two people came into the yard, Mrs. Huang and an unfamiliar old lady.

Ji Xiaobei had exactly this intention.

Huang Po sat down seriously, squinting her eyes. Suddenly she opened her eyes and saw Fu Jichang standing in front of her. She swallowed the words on her lips.

Fu Jichang immediately turned around and left.

After taking the patient's pulse, the other nanny looked at Huang Po and whispered a few words to her.

Mrs. Lin was so anxious that she was sweating. If you two have something to say, just say it directly. Why are you still whispering?

Ji Xiaobei: Mom, you don’t know, this is called an expert consultation.

Grandma Lin: I don’t know whether she can diagnose you or not. I just want to know what happened to you!

Ji Xiaobei: …

"Bei, let's go back to Mingyi Lane and rest, just in case..." Grandma Huang stopped the topic.

"I think so too!" Madam Hu echoed.

Madam Hu was the midwife invited by Old Lady Fu from the capital. She was proficient in medicine and in delivering babies. More than half of the children in the wealthy families in the capital were delivered by her.

Ji Xiaobei took a breath and said calmly: "I will go back to Mingyi Lane today, but I have to go to the manor in East City first!"

The three old women followed Ji Xiaobei to Zhengguo Villa.

Qin Zhuangtou and a group of people had been waiting at the door for a long time.

Ji Xiaobei got out of the car and walked over and said, "Those who want to work in the villa can stay. Those who don't want to work can go to Xiao Xuzi to register and come to me to collect their wages."

No one moved.

Qin Zhuangtou said, "Miss Ji, we have discussed it and decided to stay!"

Ji Xiaobei nodded: "Okay, your daughter Liang Yuyao said that as long as you stay, you will not be treated unfairly."

"My Miss Liang...ah...Miss Ji, you..." Qin Zhuangtou asked stutteringly.

"I am a good friend of your daughter Liang. She is in charge of the accounts of the manor. She will come back to check the accounts with Mr. Qin in a few days..."
