I'm dressed up as the timid eldest daughter, and the whole family has to listen to me!

Upon hearing this, Su Ye hurried to the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed), picked up the child, and saw that it was indeed a girl. Her face immediately turned pale.

"Ayu, didn't you say you saw a doctor and it was definitely a boy? If I had known it was a girl, I definitely wouldn't have let you give birth to it, and I would never have brought you back to Sujia Village. Aren't you just contradicting me?"

As she spoke, Su Ye threw the child onto the kang (a heated brick bed).

"Don't pretend to be unconscious right now. Once you wake up, we'll discuss what to do with the child!"

After saying that, Su Ye pulled Liu Pozi, who was about to throw a tantrum, out of the house.

Su Banxia glanced at Li Ayu, who was still lying unconscious on the bed, and sighed helplessly.

"It's a good thing you haven't woken up yet, otherwise you would have felt really frustrated after hearing what I just said."

Su Banxia had planned to sell candied hawthorns early the next morning, so she didn't want to linger too long in the old Su family courtyard. Therefore, she decided to get up and leave.

But just as she was about to leave, she heard the little girl lying on the kang (a heated brick bed) wailing loudly. Remembering how Granny Liu and Su Ye had treated Li Ayu, Su Banxia knew they wouldn't treat the girl well. So, she shook her head helplessly and turned back.

Su Banxia picked up the child on the kang (a heated brick bed), wrapped her in swaddling clothes, and then took out a spoonful of well water from her spatial storage and slowly fed the child to drink.

The child was probably really hungry. Although there was no milk for her to drink right now, she stopped crying because she had access to well water from the space. Her complexion also looked much rosier.

Su Banxia thought it wasn't good for Li Ayu to remain unconscious like this, so she took out some silver needles and needled her a few more times. Li Ayu groggily regained consciousness and began muttering:

"My child, my child, what is he like?"

Su Banxia carried the baby to Li Ayu's side and held it up for her to see.

"Look, the baby is sleeping soundly right now; it's a girl."

Upon hearing this, a tear rolled down Li Ayu's cheek.

"How could it be a girl? Why is my belly so uncooperative? If I had given birth to a girl, your grandmother would definitely not have let me stay in this courtyard. Now that I have just given birth, I have no one to rely on. I really don't know what to do."

Su Banxia didn't know how to comfort Li Ayu, so she sighed, laid the child down beside her, and said:

"You don't need to worry about anything else. Just keep saying that the child is my uncle's, and whether it's a boy or a girl, they have to support her. If they really have no shame, then you can say that you're going to the village headman for help. The village headman is a kind-hearted man, and he will definitely help you."

Li Ayu had no other choice at this point. Hearing Su Banxia say this, she nodded repeatedly, tears welling up in her eyes as she thanked Su Banxia.

"Banxia, ​​thank you so much for helping me. I just found out that you were the one who took care of me and helped me give birth to the child. Now you're giving me advice. I really don't know how to thank you enough."

Su Banxia smiled and shook her head.

"No need to thank me. Just make sure you and the child are doing well. Look how adorable your daughter is. If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving now. No matter what they say, you must insist that this girl is Su Ye's, and he has a responsibility to raise the child."

As she spoke, Su Banxia stepped forward, tucked the blanket around Li Ayu, and continued:

"Right now, you can't go anywhere in this condition. Don't argue with them. Try to be gentle rather than forceful. Don't worry too much right now. Focus on your health. No matter what, at least you have a place here to shelter you from the wind and rain. At the very least, finish your postpartum period first, so you don't ruin your health."

Li Ayu had never imagined that Su Banxia, ​​who seemed so cold towards her, could talk to her so much and do so much for her. At this moment, she reached out and tightly grasped Su Banxia's hand, tears streaming down her face.

"Banxia, ​​thank you so much. Right now, I have no other hope in this Sujia Village. If I ever need anything in the future, can I ask you for help? Don't worry, I will definitely not let you help me for nothing. Once I'm better, I'll come to your house and help you with the work. Aren't you doing business while you're blind? I'm actually a hard worker. I can do anything you ask me to do."

Seeing Li Ayu so uneasy and constantly shedding tears, Su Banxia sighed helplessly.

"If you need anything, you can come to my courtyard on Dwarf Mountain. If I can help, I will definitely do so. It's not easy for you to take care of a child alone these days. There's nothing I need your help with. Don't cry too much right now, or your eyes will hurt. You should rest for a while. I just gave the baby some water. Once you've calmed down a bit, I'll feed her some milk. It's getting late, and I need to head back soon."

Li Yayu was somewhat reluctant to see Su Banxia leave, but she felt awkward for forcing Su Banxia to stay and talk with her, so she reluctantly withdrew her hand and nodded.

"Okay, I understand. Banxia, ​​then drive carefully on your way back."

Seeing that Li Ayu was alright, Su Banxia quietly slipped out and closed the door. Seeing that no one else had come out of the Su family courtyard, she silently left.

When Su Banxia returned to the courtyard on Dwarf Mountain, Wang Guihua had just finished preparing all the materials needed for the next day. Seeing Su Banxia return, she hurried over and pulled her to sit down.

"Banxia, ​​did Li Ayu give birth safely? It's so late at night, and your uncle let you come back alone without even saying he'd see you off?"

Su Banxia shook her head helplessly.

"My uncle's attitude changed immediately after Li Ayu gave birth to a daughter. He's currently in my grandmother's room, and I don't know what he's plotting with them. I didn't even hear him when I left; I came back alone."

Wang Guihua sighed helplessly upon hearing this.

"Although your uncle doesn't say it, he's a proud man who's always been strong-willed. He sees that all of us in the second and third branches of the family have sons, but his branch doesn't, and he's been holding a grudge about it. He wants to have a son, and now that Li Ayu hasn't been able to give him one either, he must be very frustrated."

As Wang Guihua finished speaking, she couldn't help but look at Su Banxia with concern.

"Since Li Ayu didn't give birth to a son, your grandmother and your uncle certainly won't treat her well, right?"

Su Banxia nodded.

"That's right. Judging from their expressions, they seem to want to kick Li Ayu and the child out of Sujia Village right now."

Wang Guihua sighed.

"Sigh, Li Ayu is really something. She's a perfectly good young woman, but she had to seduce someone else's husband and have his child. We're all women, and although we feel sorry for her, isn't it her own fault that she's ended up like this?"
