Mother-in-law Zhu's eyes lit up, she picked up the silver in the woman's hand, put it in her mouth and bit it, and immediately smiled, "It's true, such a large ingot of silver is enough to pay Mingxiu's two years of tuition."

Zhu was delighted and went into the house to wake up Shen Mingxiu who had fallen asleep drunk.

Shen Mingxiu followed Zhu to the courtyard and saw the woman covered in blood. He frowned and said, "Mom, will we get into trouble if we save her?"

Zhu said: "She is just a woman. We are just helping her to give birth. I happen to be a midwife, so there is nothing to be afraid of.

Besides, this woman offered such a large ingot of silver right away, and she also said that we would definitely benefit her in the future. Look at how she is dressed, maybe she is a lady from some noble family. Mingxiu, your luck has come..."

Shen Mingxiu also agreed with what his mother said, perhaps this really was his chance.

He quickly carried the woman into the house.

Zhu glared at You and said, "What are you still kneeling there for? Go and boil some water."

Yu Shi reacted, "Yes, yes, I'll go right away, I'll go right away."

Youshi didn't care at all about giving birth to a child, as long as her mother-in-law didn't throw her child away.

Zhu took the needle and stabbed the woman's philtrum. The woman woke up, opened her eyes wide, and grabbed Zhu's clothes, "Auntie, save me. If you can help me give birth to a child, I will ensure that you will live a prosperous life."

Zhu was delighted, "Okay, don't worry, I am here to ensure that you can give birth to the baby smoothly."

As luck would have it, the woman had difficulty giving birth, and her life was spent in one day and one night.

But Mrs. Zhu is also half-hearted.

If another midwife had been invited, or a doctor had been hired for the girl, perhaps her life could have been saved, but Zhu did not want to let others take away this benefit at that time.

In the end, the woman tried her best to give birth to the child, but lost her own life.

She took out a jade pendant from her bosom and put it on the child. She also took out two hundred taels of silver notes and handed them to Zhu, saying weakly:

"Auntie, I leave my daughter in your care. Her relatives will come to look for her in the future. Please..."

The woman used up her last bit of strength and dropped her arms before she could finish her words.

Her eyes were wide open, a tear fell from the corner of her eyes, and her eyes were full of reluctance to leave her daughter.

Zhu looked at the banknotes in her hand and was delighted.

Shen Mingxiu: "What bad luck! Mother, what should we do with this child? Why not throw her to the mountain to feed the wolves? No one will know about it."

"No, this woman spent two hundred taels at once, she must be from a wealthy family. If we keep her, we can just raise a child. We can raise her together with the child born to Youshi.

When the child's father comes looking for her someday, we can say that Yao'er is his biological daughter. Who knows, we might even get a large reward, killing two birds with one stone."

"But don't make this known to anyone, otherwise we won't be able to enjoy this wealth. If anyone asks, just say that You gave birth to twins."

Shen Mingxiu gave a thumbs up and said, "Mom is still far-sighted."

Zhu searched the woman's body thoroughly, then secretly carried her to the mountain at night and found a place to bury her.

But he left the child behind.

Shen Mingxiu, who had already given Shen Yao a good name, thought for a moment and said, "Let's call him Shen Fu first."

When he looked at Shen Yao again, he found this daughter much more pleasing to the eye.

She brought wealth to the Shen family as soon as she was born, so it seems she is of some use.

In the future, I will definitely be able to give the Shen family a son.

If Shen Fu wants to help, then let her be Yao'er's subordinate and help the Shen family rise to prominence.

But this wait lasted for six years.

No one ever came to look for the child.

Shen Mingxiu had two hundred taels of silver. After being deceived by others, he learned how to gamble. He stopped studying and spent his days gambling and drinking. In a few years, he had squandered all his money.

At this time, looking at Shen Yao and Shen Fu, two freeloaders, they felt very annoying.

Considering that no one had come to look for the child for so many years, the woman must have been deceiving them before she died.

I thought about selling the child and getting some money to spend.

But the age of six is ​​very awkward, neither too old nor too young, and she will have to be raised for many years before she can be used. Besides, she is already able to remember things. Selling her to the master as a maid is not as good as having a child at home.

I asked the boy, but no one wanted it.

Coincidentally, that year Youshi gave birth to a son. He could no longer bear it and came up with the idea of ​​throwing them into the mountains.

This time, Youshi did not stop them. The couple borrowed a donkey cart, tricked the two into thinking they were going to go out for fun, and then abandoned them on the side of the road.

Although that place is also Shiqiao County, it is a bit far from Shenjia Village.

I thought that the two children were so young and would definitely not be able to find their home.

Shen Mingxiu threatened the two men viciously again, "If you dare to go home, I will chop you into pieces and feed you to the dogs."

Looking at his vicious eyes, little Shen Fu and Shen Yao knew that their father would do what he said.

Shen Fu and Shen Yao also gave up the idea of ​​going home.
