Divorcing your wife might feel good for a moment, but seeing me make money will make you regret it f

The red bed and warm curtains were surrounded by the crackling sound of burning dragon and phoenix candles.

The candlelight flickered in the night breeze, burning continuously throughout the entire night.

Fortunately, only the two of them were staying in the room where Xu Gong and his companion were staying, so they didn't have to worry about being overheard by others.

……

With Xu Gong's wedding over, Xu Qing finally had time to make arrangements for Anna and the others.

They looked different, and for the past few days since they arrived in Xujia Village, they had been completely covered up, with only their eyes showing.

Xu Jian didn't know who these people were, and they refused to remove their veils when asked, so he didn't dare to put them in his home.

They built a few simple thatched huts next to their house for them to live in temporarily.

Although Anna and the others were living in thatched huts, they felt more at ease than when they were staying in luxurious rooms.

He was a little uneasy as Xu Qing had not yet shown up.

After all, their indentures were still in Xu Qing's hands, and Anna had been feeling a slight pain in her lower abdomen after working lately.

They were unfamiliar with the area and didn't know where to find a doctor.

Louise told Anna to lie down and rest in the room, but Anna refused.

"With one more person, we can finish the work sooner and everyone can rest sooner. You have already taken good care of me, so I should do my part too."

Louise had no choice but to pray to God for help, as Anna was beyond her control.

When Xu Qing arrived at the foot of the mountain where the rubber trees were planted, he saw several people anxiously forming a circle with their clothes, and the person in the middle was faintly groaning in pain.

She quickly stepped forward and saw that the person in the middle was Anna, and the clothes of several people were placed under her.

When Louise saw Xu Qing arrive, she couldn't help but cry tears of joy: "Master, please help Anna, she's about to give birth!"

Xu Qing was startled and spoke faster: "Send someone to my house immediately to find my elder brother and have him fetch a doctor."

The men standing nearby immediately ran towards Xu Qing's house.

Xu Qing walked over to Anna and checked on her condition.

Anna was bleeding, and her water had broken.

Xu Qing cursed inwardly: It's too late to call a doctor now, and she has no experience in delivering babies! Besides, this is happening in the field!

She turned to Louise and asked, "Didn't the doctor say the pregnancy was stable and there was nothing to worry about last time? It's not even your due date yet, how come you're suddenly about to give birth!"

Louise truthfully recounted what had happened over the past few days, and fearing she might displease Xu Qing, she quickly added:

“Master, Anna is only staying with us every day because she was worried that we wouldn’t be used to the place since we’re new here.”

She is like a pillar of support for us; it is because of her that we have been able to persevere until now.

Otherwise we would have already met our maker. It's all our fault, don't blame Anna.

Xu Qing was in no mood to comfort Louise at this moment. She addressed the remaining people:

“Let’s send one more person, either at your place or at my house.”

Take a thick quilt, clean scissors, and boil a few kettles of water.

Oh, and bring some brown sugar too, and hurry up!

Two more people went out from the group, and one of them quickly ran back with a blanket and scissors: "Master, we're here. The water is boiling, please wait a while."

Xu Qing nodded and told the others to put the blankets under Anna, which was at least better than the thin clothes.

She quickly recalled the information she had previously found online about aids in childbirth.

He reassured Anna, "Don't be afraid, relax, I'll help you. Take a deep breath, and push as you breathe, like you're having a bowel movement!"

Anna's forehead veins bulged with pain, and she gripped the blankets beneath her tightly: "Master! Thank you!"

"Don't talk, just focus on giving birth to the baby!" Xu Qing couldn't help but scold.

Anna nodded and began to exert her strength as Xu Qing had instructed.

"Ugh, ah!"

Anna couldn't help but cry out in pain.

The people who had surrounded Anna with their clothes all looked at her nervously in the middle, holding their breath for her.

"Keep going! We can see the end!"

Xu Qing said with delight.

But then, Anna collapsed to the ground, utterly exhausted.

She said weakly, "Master, I have no strength left..."

Xu Qing turned around and shouted, "Where's the brown sugar water? Haven't you brought it yet?"

Louise, her eyes red, said, "I'll go take a look."

Xu Qing frowned: "Don't go. I have some candy for the children here. Give it to Anna first."

Xu Qing bought a few chocolates and a ginseng root from the mall. She gave the chocolates to Anna first.

He broke off another piece of old ginseng and stuffed it into Anna's mouth: "Hold it under your tongue."

When Anna ate the chocolate, a food found only in her country, her longing for her hometown and her beloved instantly ignited a powerful will to survive and a surge of strength within her.

Add the old ginseng, and Anna roared, "Ah!"

The child, mixed with some excrement, all flowed out at once.

"Woooooooooooooooo!"

The little one burst into a deafening cry as soon as it was born.

Hearing the powerful sound, Anna finally fainted.

Xu Qing had already bought iodine solution and hemostats from the mall in advance.

She quickly wiped the baby clean and wrapped him up with a blanket, clamped the umbilical cord with hemostats, and cut the cord with sterilized scissors.

After giving Anna a quick cleaning of her lower body, the person who went to call for help arrived with the doctor.

Because Hui Niang was pregnant, Xu Jian learned a lot about caring for pregnant women in advance.

When the doctor arrived, Xu Jian thoughtfully had them bring a cart to make it easier to transport Anna back.

Xu Qing asked them to take Anna to her house and settle her in the back room.

Thatched houses are too damp, which is not conducive to the living conditions of postpartum women and infants.

Lying in bed, Anna slowly woke up, and Louise happily brought the child to Anna.

"Sister Anna, look, this child looks exactly like my older brother. If he saw this, he would definitely jump for joy!"

Anna took the baby from the swaddling clothes. The child was sleeping soundly, his little mouth still smacking as if savoring something. Anna's heart melted.

She wanted to breastfeed the baby, but Louise quickly stopped her: "Sister Anna, the master has already fed the baby, there's no need to feed him again."

Anna was shocked and looked at Louise reproachfully: "My status is so low, I am just my master's slave, how can I trouble my master?"

Louise replied, looking aggrieved:

"Your master said you were born prematurely and need to rest well, and besides, the baby is hungry, but you haven't woken up yet."

Our master is a good person. We will work even harder from now on, Anna, don't worry.

Oh, and the owner also gave me a dairy goat, which I can milk to feed my baby. This dairy goat produces a lot of milk; my baby can't possibly drink it all.

I'll bring you a bowl later, you should drink some to help you recover. Get well soon so you can take care of the baby.

The master said that you must... sit in confinement, yes, sit in confinement.

You'll need to stay in bed for a full month before you can take care of the child. However, if your recovery goes well, you can have the child with you earlier.
