Back in 2001, Wen Baoyi was approaching her due date, and Ma Lanying, the old lady of the Hua family, decided to ask for a lucky charm for her daughter-in-law.

Less than a year after their marriage, Ma Lanying's husband went out to work and never returned home again. There was no news or money from him, not even a phone call.

Most marriages in rural areas are considered a marriage after a wedding banquet, and there is no marriage certificate at all, so she guessed that her husband had married someone else.

She just treated her husband as dead and never went looking for him. If he hadn't settled down elsewhere, if he was really dead, someone would have come to look for her. But in fact, no one ever did. So, she knew her husband was still alive, but didn't want to go home.

She raised her son alone. Her son had an ordinary undergraduate degree but couldn't find a job in the city, so he simply started his own small business. He didn't make a lot of money, but it was better than being an office worker.

Her daughter-in-law was about to give birth, and Ma Lanying wanted them to return to their hometown to give birth so that she could take care of them during the confinement period. However, thinking about the poor conditions in the countryside, medical care, transportation, and various inconveniences, she did not dare to ask her son for help in the end. She was sure that her daughter-in-law would not like rural things.

She accidentally heard from someone that there was a Guanyin Zen Temple on Xiaojing Mountain, which was particularly spiritual. There was holy water in the Guanyin Zen Temple, and drinking it could make one's wishes come true. She wanted to pray to the Bodhisattva, ask for the holy water, and pray that her wife could give birth to a boy.

She doesn't favor boys over girls, but she really wants a boy because he can help Hua Yuwei with his business and support the family.

Boys can be raised casually, just like Hua Yuwei, they can grow up as long as they have food to eat, but girls need to be pampered, but given her family's situation, girls can only suffer, and she couldn't bear to let her granddaughter suffer, so she hoped it would be a grandson.

Ma Lanying went to Xiaojingshan alone without saying hello to anyone, because she firmly believed that it would not work if she told anyone.

It is our habit to focus on doing big things.

It was already mid-June and the college entrance examination had just ended. A group of young people who had just finished the exam organized a motorcycle team and rode ostentatiously all the way into the depths of Xiaojing Mountain.

Ma Lanying was also walking into the mountain, looking for Guanyin Temple according to the location described by others. She actually found it, but unfortunately, it was a dilapidated temple with broken walls and ruins. Except for a few incomplete walls, the rest was in ruins.

The legendary Guanyin Temple was destroyed during the campaign to eliminate the four olds, and now only a pile of rubble remains.

At this time, Wen Baoyi was screaming miserably in the delivery room, and Hua Yuwei was also extremely nervous outside the delivery room. Listening to his wife's screams, he wished he could give birth to the baby for her.

At the same time, in another time and space, in the Nanyue Kingdom, in the Lengshui Fish Inn in the town of Muduo, Fu Zizhen was also in the temporary delivery room, screaming miserably, and the midwife standing by her side kept encouraging her, "Madam, try harder, it's almost there, try harder."

In another small inn not far from Lengshuiyu Inn, Cui Xuemei was also giving birth. She was not beaten to death that day, but was taken advantage of by Huashun and Huafu, who then rented a house and kept her.

Cui Xuemei became pregnant only one month later than Fu Zizhen. Her belly grew bigger day by day. They didn't know whose child it was. They all thought it should be theirs, but they were also worried that it was someone else's.

"No matter who it belongs to, it can only be an adult," Cui Xuemei said hatefully.

Huashun and Huafu looked at the fierce woman, not knowing what she meant and why she said she was an adult.

Cui Xuemei told the two of them her plan, and they both stepped back in fear, “If the Madam and the Lord find out about this, we’ll be dead too.”

"Do it secretly. How could they find out? Don't you want your child to live a good life and be the young master of the Hua family?"

Cui Xuemei persuaded the two men with her speeches and they decided to take a risk. As the saying goes, fortune and wealth are sought in danger, and if they took a chance, their future lives might be very different.

They had prepared several doses of labor-inducing medicine early on, and kept an eye on the movements in the mansion at all times. When the lady was about to give birth, she would quickly drink the labor-inducing soup, determined to give birth before the lady.

Fu Zizhen was due to give birth in half a month, but she was trapped in the Lengshui Fish Inn in Muduo Town and could not return to Huicheng. Hua Yuwei sent someone to Huicheng to bring the midwife that the family had already found. However, he was still not reassured, so he found two local midwives in Muduo Town.

The news soon reached Cui Xuemei, and she urged Huashun Huafu to leave quickly. She wanted to go to Muduo Town to give birth, and the baby had to be replaced in the delivery room to be safe.

Since the master was not at home, the servants were free. Huashun Huafu took care of Cui Xuemei all the way to Muduo Town, and stayed in another inn not far from Lengshuiyu Inn. She decisively drank the labor-inducing soup and soon gave birth to a baby girl.

When Hua Shun and Hua Fu saw that it was a girl, they stopped vying to be the father, but since it was still possible that the baby was their own, they followed Cui Xuemei's advice. Because they had sneaked out, they dared not show their faces, and asked the waiter to ask Chun Liu, the maidservant of the lady, to come out.

"Chunliu, is Madam about to give birth?" Huashun asked anxiously as soon as they met.

"Madam has entered the delivery room and is very busy now. If you have anything to say, please tell her quickly. Madam must be by her side." Chun Liu was very anxious and was in no mood to chat with them.

"Then I'll go and serve you," Huashun said taking the opportunity.

Since they were all family, Chun Liu certainly didn't suspect anything and didn't wonder why he was here. He took him to the Lengshui Fish Inn.

Hua Yuwei was extremely cautious. As a new noble in the court, many eyes were on him, especially during such a crucial matter as his wife's delivery. He was afraid that he would be tricked by others, so he personally watched outside the delivery room.

At this time, three midwives were busy in the delivery room.

"Madam, you are carrying twins, right?" The newly found midwife knew it was twins as soon as she saw the belly.

"Yes, twins, but our wife has a good constitution, and she doesn't seem to be too squeamish even when she is pregnant with twins." Qiuyue was helping in the house, wiping the wife's sweat, and Chunliu came in to feed the wife some water.

Hua Yuwei was anxiously running around outside the house, but he was unable to help.

Two hours later, the crying of a baby was heard. Hua Yuwei breathed a sigh of relief. The midwife washed and wrapped a baby and brought it out, "Congratulations, sir, it's a young boy."

The other baby was still in the belly. Fu Zizhen had no strength left. The newly hired midwife was quite experienced and slowly pushed on both sides of her abdomen. Fu Zizhen held her breath and felt something sliding out. Her stomach relaxed and she felt relieved all of a sudden.

"Congratulations, ma'am, it's a baby girl," the midwife congratulated happily and handed the baby to the lady for her to take a look.

Midwives are very cautious and will always let the mother know whether she is giving birth to a boy or a girl at the first opportunity.

Fu Zizhen just nodded slightly, hummed, and closed her eyes tiredly to rest. Two midwives helped her clean up, and the midwife from Huicheng went to wash the baby.

"You cry so loudly, you will definitely be a great person in the future." Water splashed onto the baby, washing the head, body, and finally the feet. "Oh, there are three red moles on the left foot, which is amazing. You will definitely be rich and powerful in the future." The midwife who was washing the baby kept muttering to herself as she washed the baby, then wrapped the child up and took him out to give him to Hua Yuwei.

"Oh no, the woman may have bleeding," a midwife shouted.

The midwife quickly handed the baby to Chunliu. The baby had already been born and there was no problem. The most important thing at this moment was the mother.

Chunliu took the child out and handed it to Hua Yuwei, "Congratulations, sir, it's a girl."

Hua Yuwei happily took the baby and said loudly, "Rewards, all are rewards." Finally, he had a son and a daughter. What a happy day.

"How is Madam?" Hua Yuwei handed the baby to the wet nurse beside him and was about to enter the delivery room but was stopped by Chunliu.

Fu Zizhen was lying on the bed, blood constantly dripping from the delivery bed. The three midwives were all very experienced, but they were also a little flustered at this time, "Doctor, where is the doctor?"

The doctor who had been waiting outside rushed into the delivery room. He gave injections and wrote prescriptions in a busy manner. Chunliu ran to boil the medicine, and Qiuyue came out and asked for ginseng slices. The blood was brought out and the warm water was brought in. The whole Lengshui Fish Inn was in a mess.

Hua Yuwei was so anxious that he ignored all those empty taboos and walked into the delivery room.

Both babies were handed over to the wet nurses, who took them to another clean room to feed them. The crying children calmed down after drinking the milk. The wet nurses put the children on the bed and couldn't help but pay attention to the movements outside.

Hua Shun arrived at this time, and while everyone's attention was on his wife, he quickly switched the two baby girls. He put the real Miss Huafu in a basket and left quickly with the basket.

Fu Zizhen's side was finally stabilized. The midwife and the doctor were very experienced. Apparently this situation was common when women were giving birth, so they were very well prepared, especially for twins, who were even more cautious. Fu Zizhen stepped into the gate of hell with one foot, but pulled herself back with the other foot.

Huashun handed the stolen baby to Cui Xuemei and said, "Xue'er, take good care of her as you wish."

"Who wants to raise her? I don't have the time to raise someone else's child," Cui Xuemei said with disdain.

"Then who will support him? Are we two grown men supposed to do it? Besides, we haven't gotten married yet and we're still working in Washington, so how can we support him?"

Huashun Huafu was anxious. What should they do if Cui Xuemei refused to raise the child?

"Throw it out to feed the wild dogs," Cui Xuemei said calmly, as if she was throwing a kitten or puppy.

Huashun and Huafu were only attracted by her beauty and her young body. Helping her to exchange babies was the limit, but they did not have the courage to kill for her, especially when they knew that she was the real eldest daughter of the Hua family.

The two were so scared that they were about to run away, but Cui Xuemei quickly stopped them, "If you dare to run, I will expose you in front of the lady and the adults."

The two of them stopped again immediately, not knowing what she was going to do.

"I heard there is a Shuiyue Temple on Xiaojing Mountain that accepts baby girls. Let's send her there." Cui Xuemei said throwing the baby to feed the wild dogs not out of anger, but the two men in front of her would not help her do this, so she changed her words and asked them to send her to the Shuiyue Temple on Xiaojing Mountain.

So neither Huashun nor Huafu was willing to go alone, so they had to go up Xiaojing Mountain together.

Going up along the Tea Stream, they walked towards the legendary Shuiyue Temple. The baby was probably a little hungry and seemed to be about to cry. The two grown men had no choice but to stop by the Tea Stream and prepare to feed her some tea stream water. No matter what, they could not let the child cry.

"Huashun, this place is not far from Shuiyue Temple. Let's leave her there. When the child cries, the people inside will naturally hear it and they will take the child away."

Huashun thought about it and it was not a good thing after all. He couldn’t let others see his face.

So the two men stopped by the tea stream, dipped their fingers in water, and dripped the water into the baby's mouth. Then they abandoned the baby by the tea stream, and then they ran down the mountain like a gust of wind as if there was a ghost chasing them.

Time goes back to 2001. Ma Lanying kept climbing up Xiaojing Mountain. She looked at the group of young people riding motorcycles passing by her with envy in her eyes. She was in her early fifties, her arms and legs seemed stiff, and she had never climbed a mountain for so long before. She became more and more tired and her legs were very sore.

The sound of a baby crying attracted her attention. She followed the sound and found a bamboo basket floating down the tea stream. The baby's crying came from the basket.

There is a small platform at this point in the Chaxi River, the water flow slowed down, the basket was spinning in the water, and the baby's blanket was almost wet.

Ma Lanying rolled up her trouser legs and waded through the water to retrieve the basket. She opened the quilt that was wrapped around it and saw a red, wrinkled baby crying with his mouth open. Although small, the baby's voice was loud. It was obvious that the baby was less than a day old. The baby must have been very hungry and his body was wet, so he was crying so pitifully.

She quickly wrapped the child again with the clothes she was carrying, and slowly fed the child the milk she had with her.

The little baby, who had changed into dry clothes and was full, looked at Ma Lanying with his round black eyes and gave her a faint smile. Oh my! Ma Lanying's heart melted into a pool of water in an instant. All the hardships and fatigue she had endured in raising her son for many years, and all the resentment and hatred towards her husband, were all healed in this smile.

She guessed that the young people must have accidentally gotten pregnant and abandoned the babies on the mountain after giving birth.

She picked up the baby and prepared to go down the mountain. She decided not to go to any temples or monasteries.

At this moment, there was suddenly a commotion among the young men who had just passed by on motorcycles, and someone shouted, "Zhai Liangyu, hurry, Zhai Liangyu fell down."

She paused for a moment. She couldn't interfere in the affairs of young people, so she walked down the mountain alone with the child in her arms, and called her son Hua Yuwei by the way.

At this moment, Hua Yuwei was anxiously walking around outside the delivery room. He was not the only one waiting to become a father outside the delivery room. He was making himself dizzy and said, "Brother, be quiet, be quiet."

Hua Yuwei nodded shyly, "Is your wife also in the delivery room?"

Before I could get a reply from the other party, my mother called and asked, "Son, is Baoyi about to give birth?"

"Mom, um, she's in the hospital, already in the delivery room." His voice was trembling, showing how nervous he was.

"That's great. Baoyi gave birth to twins. I have both a grandson and a granddaughter." Ma Lanying looked at the baby in her arms, imagining the scene of her grandchildren following her and calling her grandma. Her face was filled with a smile, and her happiness was even more obvious than if she had won five million.

"Twins?" Hua Yuwei was a little confused. From the time Baoyi became pregnant to the time she entered the delivery room, no one ever told her that she was having twins. Maybe I was having a delusion.

"Mom, Baoyi is not pregnant with twins, but a single baby." He felt it necessary to explain it clearly to his mother. She was sure that they were twins and asked him to go somewhere to steal a grandson for her.

"If I say they are twins, then they are twins. Don't worry, there is no mistake about it," Ma Lanying said to her son very confidently.
