Taking away my family's luck? I won't stand it!

Chapter 2 The whole family is short-lived

Old Lady Liu slapped Old Man Yuan on the head and said, "Get out of the way! You're scaring my precious granddaughter! Don't you know that a newborn baby's soul is unstable?"

Yuan Laoer touched his head and stepped aside with a silly smile.

Just then, Doctor Zhang came in with a medicine box, took Shen Chulan's pulse, stroked his beard, and said thoughtfully, "You've lost too much blood, and your blood and energy are insufficient. You need to replenish them!"

Old Lady Liu didn't believe it was just excessive blood loss. She had just witnessed her daughter-in-law's death. She asked, "Doctor, is it just excessive blood loss? Are there any other problems?"

Doctor Zhang, whose medical skills were questioned for the first time, turned cold and said, "Although I can't compare with the doctors in the county, I can still diagnose these minor problems!"

"No, doctor, that's not what I meant. I'm just worried about my daughter-in-law." Old Mrs. Liu realized that she had said the wrong thing and quickly changed her words.

After hearing Mrs. Liu's explanation, Doctor Zhang's expression softened. "I'll prescribe some blood-tonifying and Qi-invigorating medicine. Just take it with your three meals a day. However, medicine is medicine after all, so you need to supplement it with food!"

Now there is chaos and war outside, and there has been a three-year drought, and the crops have been completely destroyed...

Where can I get the food to supplement my daughter-in-law's diet?

Old Mrs. Liu gritted her teeth and nodded, "Thank you, doctor!"

Boss Yuan sent Doctor Zhang out the door and took out ten cents from his pocket.

Doctor Zhang took the ten coins and smiled slightly, "Just send it here. I'll have someone send the medicine over."

"Thank you, doctor." Yuan Lao said.

"Grandma, I want to see my sister, I want to see my sister!"

"I want to see my sister, my sister!"

Several half-grown children were jumping around in the room. The little Pixiu looked at the big black balls on their heads with a numb look on her face. Why were all the children in the family she was born into short-lived?

All of them were poor and short-lived, as if someone had taken away their luck, strangled their lifeblood, and couldn't wait to kill them.

There is something strange about this family.

"Go away! If you disturb my sister, I'll beat you up!" Old Mrs. Liu waved a small bamboo stick to scare them.

Several children ran out of the room with their buttocks tucked in, laughing.

Suddenly, the little Pixiu felt empty in his stomach, and out of baby instinct, he started to sob and cry.

I'm so hungry.

A snow-white tiger emerged from the distant mountains, its big eyes staring brightly at the direction where the baby's crying sound came from.

Master, I finally found you!

...

Prime Minister's House.

Wailing cries of pain could be heard from the house, and the prime minister and the old lady were pacing anxiously outside the door.

"Master, do you think this curse worked? Why can't my wife give birth to a child?"

Seeing that his wife had been wailing for the entire afternoon without any movement, the Prime Minister finally could not help but look at the Taoist priest who was wearing a white robe, had a sanctimonious look and had two beards under his nose.

Taoist Hu pinched his beard and said, "Don't worry, this curse was set two months ago and has already taken effect. The birth of your daughter will be the end of that curse. The Prime Minister's Mansion will surely produce a nobleman of immense wealth and power who will soar to the sky and save the country's destiny."

With the Taoist priest's words, the Prime Minister's Mansion and the old lady finally felt relieved. They looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Wa wa wa——" The loud cry of a baby echoed throughout the yard.

"It's born, it's born, congratulations, master, your wife has given birth to a daughter." The midwife's voice came from the house, and then the door was opened with a bang, revealing a white, plump face with a look of joy.

The Prime Minister and the old lady hurried to meet the midwife, and the Prime Minister asked, "How is the child?"

The midwife had never seen a baby so fair and clean in all her years of delivering babies, so she immediately praised him, "How beautiful! I've been delivering babies for 30 years and I've never seen a baby prettier than the ones in New Year pictures."

"Hahaha, reward, you deserve it." The prime minister took out twenty taels of silver from his pocket and handed it to the midwife.

The midwife took it with joy, and happily left with the food.

Yuan Anle opened his eyes, and his eyes went from confused to clear.

It turns out that she traveled through a book... No, to be more precise... She was reborn...

Yuan family.

Guoan, Guoxing and a few other kids surrounded Ye Wan and watched her kill the chicken with a smile on their faces.

The others were not idle either. Some were chopping wood, some were sweeping the yard, and they were busy with happy faces.

Even Old Man Yuan took out his pipe, which had long been out of tobacco, and put it in his mouth to smoke, smacking his lips to savor the remaining smoke in the pipe.

The Yuan family finally has a daughter!

The Yuan family was immersed in the fact that they finally had a daughter.

Suddenly, a burst of crying was heard outside the house. The Yuan family stopped what they were doing and looked up at the door.

Old Mrs. Shen cried until she was almost exhausted. She crawled into the gate of the Yuan family and said, "My son! You are trying to dig out my heart!"

Hearing the noise, Old Lady Liu rushed out of the house.

"In-laws, don't cry, Chu Lan is fine!"

Oh my God, the whole family was so immersed in the joy of Chu Lan and their granddaughter being alive that they forgot to inform the in-laws.

Old Lady Shen stopped talking, and looked at Old Lady Liu with a pair of red, swollen, and cloudy eyes. She asked in disbelief: "Mrs. Zhang said Chu Lan had two bodies, how could she be fine!"

"In-laws, no, Chu Lan and her daughter are safe and sound. This is our fault. We forgot to inform you."

Old Mrs. Liu felt bad when she saw Old Mrs. Shen’s swollen eyes. She understood this feeling too well.

"Really?" Old Lady Shen excitedly grabbed Old Lady Liu's arm tightly, "Is my Chu Lan okay?"

"Mom, it's true. I'm fine."

Shen Chulan quickly spoke up in the house and wiped away her tears. She was the one who made her mother sad.

When Old Lady Shen heard her daughter's voice, she let go of Old Lady Liu and rushed into the house.

After a long time.

After confirming that Chu Lan was really okay, Old Lady Shen wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, patted her daughter's hand, and said repeatedly: "It's good that you're okay, it's good that you're okay."

Shen Chulan's tears fell, "Mom, I made you worry."

She looked up at her husband and mother-in-law, and felt a pang of guilt.

"How can you cry while you are in confinement? As long as you are safe, don't cry." Old Mrs. Shen quickly raised her hand to wipe away her daughter's tears.

Seeing that her daughter was safe and sound, her heart finally settled down.

Old Lady Shen looked at the baby who had been staring at her. When she saw the baby's delicate features, she praised him sincerely:

"Oh, this girl is so white and plump, just like the dolls in New Year pictures. She doesn't look like a baby born a month prematurely at all."

Seeing her mother praising her daughter, Shen Chulan smiled gently. "Yes, she's not at all like her two brothers, who are wrinkled and ugly like monkeys."

The little Pixiu looked at Old Lady Shen with its round eyes, and couldn't help thinking: Finally, a normal person has come.

The little baby yawned with his little mouth, tears in his eyes, his eyes became heavier and heavier, and finally he couldn't resist the sleepiness and fell asleep.

She was still smacking her pink lips even after falling asleep.

I'm so hungry~

"This child is really well-behaved. He doesn't cry or make a fuss."

With fondness in her eyes, Old Mrs. Shen took out a small square red envelope wrapped in red paper from her bosom and put it in the baby's arms.

Shen Chulan did not stop Old Lady Shen's action. This was used to calm the soul of a newborn baby. When a daughter-in-law gave birth to a child, the elders in every family would give a red envelope to calm the soul.

It’s not much, just a penny or two for good luck.

At this time, Old Lady Liu came in with a bowl of chicken soup.

The rich aroma of chicken soup filled the whole house, and the little ones were drooling with envy.

But no one dared to come forward to ask for it.

They clearly know that chicken soup is for their mother/aunt to increase milk production.

When Mrs. Shen saw Mrs. Liu coming in with a bowl full of chicken soup with a layer of butter floating on it, she nodded with satisfaction.

"I still have work to do at home, so I'll go back first." Old Mrs. Shen took the basket and put it on the square table. "Here are more than 20 eggs. They are for your confinement after childbirth."

After hearing this, Old Lady Liu quickly placed the chicken soup on the table and said, "My dear, this is embarrassing! Take it back!"

"What's the big deal? I brought eggs when Chu Lan gave birth. Just accept them!" Old Mrs. Shen had a cold face and looked like she would not accept any refusal.

But the present is nothing compared to the past. There is a drought now, and the crops have failed. An egg sold in the town can only buy half a pound of sorghum rice.

But this was sent by Old Lady Shen to her daughter for postpartum confinement. It was a token of her appreciation, so Old Lady Liu had no choice but to accept it.

"My dear, have a bowl of chicken soup before you leave."

Old Mrs. Shen glanced at the drooling radish heads. She was leaving because she was afraid that Old Mrs. Liu would ask her to stay for some chicken soup. She knew very well what the situation was like now. It was not easy for anyone.

"It's getting dark. If we don't leave now, the road will become difficult to walk on."

After saying that, she touched the baby's face, got up and walked out of the house. Old Lady Liu hurried to see him off.

When she came back, she saw a few kids surrounding Shen Chulan. She raised her eyebrows and yelled, "What are you doing!"
