Xie Wanxing quickly said, "I have some at home. After renovating our house, we built some stables for cattle and horses. The shop in town is also useful, so we have quite a few cows, but not many sheep. You can go back and ask Brother Dakang if any of them have given birth recently. If so, we can bring them here. If not, the milk produced by this cow can be used as a supplement, and we can then go find some newborn ewes elsewhere."

Xie Wanxing wanted to go home and ask, so she walked out of the house. As soon as she got out, she saw Xie Ning standing in the yard. Xie Ning was holding a bag of white flour buns in his hand, and it was obvious that he was carrying his breakfast with him.

Xie Wanxing's eyes lit up, and he quickly walked up to Xie Ning and said, "Brother Ning, why are you here? But you've come just in time. I have something to trouble you with."

Xie Ning looked down at her and raised one eyebrow in confusion.

Xie Wanxing briefly recounted the incident, then continued, "Can you please go back and ask Aunt Li if they have any ewes that have given birth? If so, have them bring one over so we can help the child."

Xie Ning nodded and turned around immediately. His movements were strange. He stepped lightly and his figure flashed. In two steps, he completely disappeared in the yard.

Xie Wanxing looked envious. It was good to know kung fu. Shouldn’t she learn a little bit too?

There was indeed a newly-born ewe at home, and today was also a day off scheduled by the village school, so Xie Lan brought the sheep directly.

Xie Lan led the ewe to Daniu's house and saw Xie Wanxing and others standing at the door. He raised his hand and shouted, "Little sister, I brought the sheep for you."

Xie Wanxing looked at the sheep he was leading with eyes full of surprise, and hurried forward to greet him: "Brother, you really have a milk-producing ewe at home, that's great."

Da Niu's father also hurried over, bowed to Xie Lan and thanked him: "Thank you very much, young master, thank you very much... It's just that we don't have enough money at home now..." His voice became lower and lower, and his hands unconsciously rubbed the corners of his clothes.

"That's fine. Aren't you building a workshop with Uncle Dachun now? I'll talk to Dad and lend you some money. You can pay it back when you have money." Xie Wanxing waved his hand quickly. "Of course, the child is more important. This money is nothing."

When Da Niu's father heard this, his voice choked up a little: "Miss, you... you are so kind and generous. I, Jin Yue, really don't know how to repay you."

Xie Lan also smiled and said, "Uncle Jin, please don't say that. My father has already said that the villagers are all good people. We should help each other. The most important thing now is to take care of Aunt Jin's health and take good care of the children so that our family can live a peaceful life."

"Yes, yes, thank you very much."

Just as Da Niu's father was about to lead the sheep away, a few more people came in. The one walking in front was an old woman in simple clothes. She walked hurriedly, her expression full of anxiety and worry. As soon as she entered the door, her eyes turned red and filled with tears, as if they were about to burst out in the next second.

Seeing this, Da Niu's father hurried over and shouted, "Mother-in-law, you're here."

The old woman didn't bother to respond to Da Niu's father and went straight into the house, muttering in a sobbing voice as she walked: "My Ling'er, mother is late, what happened to you?"

When she reached the bed, she wanted to touch Da Niu Niang's pale face with her trembling hands, but she was afraid of disturbing her sleep, so she withdrew her hands tremblingly. Finally, her tears could not stop flowing, falling on the quilt and wetting a small area.

The old woman wept so hard that her body began to tremble slightly. She choked up and whispered, "How could it turn out like this? Why did I have to suffer so much just to give birth to a child?"

Da Niu's father also followed in and hurried to comfort her, "Mother-in-law, Doctor Sun just gave Ling Niang an acupuncture and prescribed some medicine. The doctor said that as long as she takes good care of herself, she will gradually get better."

The old woman seemed to come to her senses at this moment. She turned to look at Da Niu's father and said with a complaining tone: "Tell me, how did you take care of Ling'er? I handed her over to you, how did you take care of her like this?"

Da Niu's father was filled with guilt. He lowered his head and said in a low voice, "Mother-in-law, it's my fault for not taking good care of Ling'er."

The old woman wiped her tears, walked to Doctor Sun who was sitting in the outer room, and asked with sobs, "Are you the doctor? Please, you must save my Ling'er. She is still young and her child is still young. She can't just die like this." As she was about to kneel on the ground, everyone hurried to stop her.

Xie Wanxing also hurriedly reached out and grabbed the corner of the old woman's clothes, and whispered: "Old lady, don't worry, I believe Aunt Jin will get better."

The old woman was supported by the crowd, her body still trembling slightly. She grabbed the hand of Xie Wanxing who came to support her, and said to Doctor Sun with trembling lips: "Doctor, I only have this one daughter, she is my life. Now she has suffered such a great hardship, my heart is like a knife. If you can save her, I will repay your kindness even if I have to work like a cow or a horse."

Doctor Sun consoled her, "You're too kind. As a doctor, I will do my best."

Xie Wanxing said, "Uncle Jin, shall we go back to Baohetang with my master now? Let's get the medicine first. Let the aunts and this old woman take care of things here. Prepare the goat milk for the child and give some to Aunt Jin, too."

Xie Wanxing said from the side: "Uncle Jin, let's go to Baohetang with my master now. Let's get the medicine first. Let the aunts take care of this place first and prepare the goat milk for the child. Aunt Jin can drink some when she wakes up later."

The old woman wiped the tears from her eyes and said, "Jin Yue, please follow the doctor to get the medicine. I will take care of everything here."

"Yes, mother-in-law."

Doctor Sun brought Xie Wanxing and Da Niu's father out of the house and saw that Xie Ning had brought the carriage. The carriage was parked steadily outside the yard. The chestnut horse was leisurely wagging its tail. Xie Ning was sitting on the shaft, leaning slightly, holding a white flour bun in his hand, eating it bite by bite, looking casual and comfortable.

Xie Wanxing couldn't help but admire Xie Ning in his heart. This was really too thoughtful. He always predicted things just right.

When Xie Ning saw them coming out, he jumped down from the shaft of the carriage, lifted the curtain and let them get on. After everyone was seated, he sat back down, picked up the reins and shook them gently. The horse then obediently took steps and slowly pulled the carriage forward.
