At first, Du Wenxiu came out stiffly with a faint smile on his face.

But the smile did not reach her eyes. Looking closely, she looked like a wooden beauty.

Yulan looked tired and exhausted. The first time I saw her, tears welled up in my eyes.

He walked up to her, hugged her, and burst into tears without saying anything.

At first, Du Wenxiu smiled slightly and gently patted Yulan's shoulders, which had become more plump than before.

Later, she gradually placed her hands on Yulan's back and her eyes became red.

One drop, two drops, three drops...

She sobbed a few words softly first, and no one could hear clearly what she said except Yulan.

Slowly, she buried her face in the hollow of Yulan's shoulder, and low, muffled cries came out.

Once the tears burst out, they can no longer be controlled.

Du Wenxiu cried so hard that she was dizzy and finally lost consciousness and passed out.

A'Lo stood by holding the child, crying her heart out, raising one arm to wipe away her tears.

Xiaohu, who came back with Yulan, stepped forward to help A Luo and sat beside him.

"When she heard the news that day, she fainted. She looked like she was dead. She couldn't give birth to the child and almost died."

A Luo couldn't stop crying and told Yulan and her brother what happened.

"Mrs. Cheng even prepared a pair of scissors. She said that if she had a difficult delivery, she would kill her even if she had to be sent to the county government office."

"I tried everything. I finally woke her up, but I didn't know how to use all my strength."

"Mrs. Cheng used acupuncture and massage, and she was so quiet, cursing in there, I couldn't stand it."

"After the baby was finally born, Madam Cheng seemed to be half dead. She sat in the house crying non-stop. I was so scared that I almost fainted..."

Du Wenchan, who had just returned from the workshop, saw this scene when she entered the room. She couldn't help but frown:

"Auntie, why are you crying again? The doctor said your eyesight is not good. If you keep crying, you will really go blind and how will you take care of the children?"

A Luo quickly raised his hand to wipe his tears, murmuring, "Don't cry, don't cry, I couldn't help it. I won't cry next time."

Yulan's tears, which had just stopped, started to flow again, and her heart was filled with anxiety.

When Bi Cun told her the news, she felt dizzy and pulled him around, asking him frantically, saying that this couldn't be true.

"Yulan, I have never lied to you." Bi Cun hugged her tightly and said in a low and muffled voice.

Yulan immediately thought: If something happens to Lu Fanghai, how will Du Wenxiu survive?

Especially when I heard Xiaohu say that she had been pregnant for a long time, it seemed that it was time for her to give birth.

Yulan was worried, so she hurriedly asked people to pack up and return to Dongxing County.

However, the situation in the capital was unclear, and Bi Cun begged her to consider him a little, but the trip was delayed until now.

When she first saw Du Wenxiu, Yulan felt that she was like a dummy made of fragments. Although she was alive, she seemed dead.

Every move he made seemed as if he had lost his soul.

She was dressed in mourning, her face was pale, and her eyes were open but lifeless.

In A'luo's arms, Yulan looked carefully at Du Wenxiu's child.

How can she be so small and so soft? If you look closely at her features, she looks a bit like Du Wenxiu and also a bit like Lu Fanghai.

I just wonder who this child will look more like when he grows up, between the couple?

"This time I came with someone, a good friend of my husband, who runs a restaurant business."

Yulan and Du Wenchan said softly:

"He heard me talk about my sister-in-law's good pickle business at Hui'anlou in Shihe Town and was very interested. It just so happened that my uncle's family was also from Dongxing County, so he came with me."

"He's going to visit his maternal uncle first. Second sister, why don't you prepare early and bring some samples of pickles suitable for the restaurant to avoid being rushed when the time comes."

"Sister Yulan, did you make an appointment with him to discuss business matters at home?" Du Wenchan asked.

"I haven't told you that. I wonder where my second sister usually meets guests?" Yulan said after a moment of hesitation.

"Zang Yaxuan has invested in my workshop. Usually, larger transactions are discussed at Zang Yaxuan, and the environment is better."

Listening to Du Wenchan's reasonable words, Yulan nodded slightly and said, "I'll ask Xiaohu to run over and pass on a message, asking him to set a time and go to Zang Yaxuan to discuss it."

The maid brought by Yulan lifted the curtain and said that Du Wenxiu had woken up, and several people hurried into the inner room to check.

After receiving his sister's instructions, Xiaohu walked out, said hello to A Luo and went to deliver a message.

Yulan rushed forward and sat down beside the bed, looking at Du Wenxiu, who had opened his eyes but looked lifeless.

"Sister-in-law, I came all the way from the capital to see you, but you are like this, my heart... my heart really can't bear it."

She pressed her hand on her chest and used the other hand to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes.

After crying for a while, Du Wenxiu felt like something in her heart was broken, and Yulan's words didn't seem as distant as before.

She lowered her eyes and shook her head, slightly curling the corners of her mouth, but it didn't look like she was smiling.

"I feel much better after crying. Don't worry."

Saying that, he stood up.

"Since you have come from the capital, you must know more about the situation. Why don't you tell me about it?"

Yulan quickly held her down and said, "If you want to listen, just lie down like this and don't stand up again. It's tiring."

The child suddenly started crying. A Luo held him and rocked him for a while, but he couldn't stop crying.

It's not peeing, maybe it's hunger.

Yulan sat down on the edge of the bed, reached out to take the child, and stuffed it into Du Wenxiu's arms.

"Look at this little fellow. He doesn't make a fuss even when there's nothing to do. It's obvious that he loves his mother."

Du Wenxiu chuckled and said nothing. She lifted her clothes and fed the child.

Yulan watched, wondering whether to tell him now or wait until the child had finished eating.

"You go ahead and tell me, I'm fine and I can bear it." Du Wenxiu said with a faint smile.

"Actually, I heard it from Bi Cun." Yulan said thoughtfully, "Sister-in-law, you don't know Bi Cun yet, right? Why don't I tell you how I live in the capital first?"

Yulan had an idea and decided to delay for some time.

With my own experience as a foundation, I just hope that she won't be unable to withstand the shock again.

I heard from an experienced maid in the capital that women who have just given birth are very weak.

When something like this happens, it's God's will. Just be patient and don't talk about it.

"Back then, Bi Fengyou sent me to the old eunuch in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. That... old eunuch was really a pervert. Every time he came back, he would torture me in different ways."

After hearing what she said, A Luo winked at Du Wenchan and told her to stay away.

Du Wenchan just ignored her and pretended not to know.

A Luo had no choice but to pull her away, so he could only swing the knife at her. If the knife could become real, Du Wenchan's face and body would probably be covered with sharp cuts.

"It's only been a month, and I'm already living a life worse than death. When I heard he was coming, I couldn't help trembling."

Thinking back to her mood at that time, Yulan couldn't help but show panic on her face, and suddenly she felt her hand being gently held.
