Chapter 238 Su Tai Production
Su Tai pointed to the ten little ones and said with a headache, "I'd like to trouble you to find someone to teach them how to farm. Any young man or woman in the village, or any elderly person who can't do heavy work, will do. I'll pay them wages, and the children will learn to work from them in a month."

Huang Xinghua was stunned. "Are you kidding me?! This is land! Land that determines a year's harvest! You're letting them play with it?"

Su Tai smiled wryly and said seriously, "It's just for teaching them, to make an experimental field. Two or three acres will do, or I can ask the village chief to buy a few more acres. Forget it, I'll ask the village chief to buy four or five acres of wasteland!"

The large, continuous stretches of wasteland in the village are gone, but there are still quite a few scattered plots. They can piece together a few acres from the edges of their own plot.

After Su Tai explained her purpose to the village chief, the village chief took it very seriously and arranged for six acres of wasteland for her the next day.

Next came the land clearing. The ten children were essentially free labor. Although they couldn't do much work and were slow, their participation was the most important thing.

Several elderly people taught them while they played, and they were able to keep up with the progress of spring plowing.

In the past month or so, the children have become wild. They used to be chubby and fair-skinned, but now they're all little black kids. They're even more mischievous than before. If it weren't for those snacks, Tang Yu probably wouldn't be able to keep them in check.

After finishing the spring planting, Su Tai began to think about the sales channels for this year's summer fruits. When she gives birth, she may not have much energy to keep an eye on the fruits in the fields. In previous years, she could send them all to the prefectural city, but this year that may not be possible.

Seeing her looking worried, Ke Yunyun asked and then laughed, "Cousin, Xiao Xi used to manage the shop. You can ask her."

Su Tai's eyes lit up, and she quickly called Xiao Xi over.

Knowing her concerns, Xiao Xi suggested, "If Madam Shen is at ease, I can take care of it. I'll go to the prefectural city in advance and talk to the merchants we know before to see if they want any. Last year, someone came to our door wanting a large quantity of watermelons, apparently wanting to sell them outside of Lizhou. At that time, we didn't have enough watermelons to sell, so I didn't agree. We can consider it this year. I know where they are and I can find them."

"Okay! Then I'll trouble you. Don't worry, I won't let you work for nothing." Su Tai was very happy.

Xiao Xi was flattered and shook her head, "Madam Shen has been very kind to me, so I'm just helping out. It's only right."

She now lives here, and her food, clothing, shelter, and transportation are just like her master's. She has everything she had never seen or enjoyed before, and her master doesn't scold her. She is already very content with this kind of life.

She had always worried that she wasn't doing enough and that her master wouldn't need her in the future. Now that she could help, she couldn't wait to show off her abilities.

After the matter was settled, Xiao Xi secretly went to Dongmen Village to discuss it with Su Chuan, and the two of them went to the prefectural city together.

Su Chuan's family also grew fruit this year, so naturally they had to pay more attention to selling it.

With them taking care of everything, Su Tai was completely at ease. She didn't have to worry about anything else; she could just focus on her pregnancy.

By May, her belly was so big it looked like she was about to give birth.

Every time Xu saw her belly, she would ask Cao a few questions and then confirm the due date with Su Tai. "Did the doctor really say that I can only give birth next month? I feel like it's about time!"

Su Tai lay on the rocking chair, a calm smile on her face. "Second Aunt, I'm most likely carrying twins, so it's normal for my belly to be a little bigger."

Xu, who was lost in thought, jumped three feet in the air in fright at her words, "What? Twins?"

Her first reaction wasn't joy but worry: "Is...is this really true?"

Su Tai nodded repeatedly.

She wasn't sure before, but her belly was growing unusually fast. Luckily, she was able to go to the Mu Shi Kong Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic, so she asked the clinic's gynecological expert to take a look. The clinic didn't have equipment like color Doppler ultrasound, and the doctors weren't good at taking pulses to confirm the number of fetuses.

It wasn't until recently, when she clearly heard the heartbeats of two fetuses in her womb during a heart checkup, that she was certain she was carrying twins.

Xu's anxiety finally died down, and she hurriedly ran to find Cao.

"Oh no! Xiaotai is carrying twins! Have you ever delivered babies for a woman like this before?" Cao was calmer than Xu. "I suspected it a long time ago, but I didn't dare say anything for fear of scaring her. I didn't expect it to be true! As long as the babies are in the correct position, she can give birth. Don't worry too much. But just to be on the safe side, it would be better to call the doctor over."

"Yes, yes, we need to find a doctor. I'll go back and tell my two boys right away." Mrs. Xu was in a panic.

All parties were taken care of, and even Su Tai's family was contacted.

Han's reaction was similar to Xu's; she instinctively wanted to go to her daughter's house to take care of her.

Ruan Xiaoyu and Shen Xiang naturally had no objections and personally helped Han pack her luggage and saw her off.

On May 20th, Su Tai indeed started bleeding, and by that evening she seemed to have given birth.

Shen Liang hurriedly ran to the town and brought Doctor Li over.

It was already dark when we entered the village.

Many people came to Su Tai's house, including the Xu family, Cao, Huang Xinghua, the village chief's two wives, and Han.

Wearing a veil, Ke Yunyun appeared as Tang Yu's wife and took the initiative to help take care of Shen Yuezhang and Shen Congrong.

No one thought much of it and entrusted the child to her with peace of mind, keeping a close watch on the delivery room door.

Su Tai, who was in the delivery room, was pushing according to Cao's instructions.

She wasn't sure about the two children herself, but she was just putting on a brave face so as not to worry others.

Cao asked her daughter-in-law Wu to help, and only when she saw that it was almost time did she let Su Tai exert herself. After about 15 minutes, the first child came out.

Cao's confidence soared, and she excitedly shouted, "Quick, come and help!"

Ms. Wu took the child and tended to him. When the child let out a cry, she breathed a sigh of relief and said happily, "It's a beautiful boy!"

Cao immediately said, "Don't get distracted, there's still one more. Keep pushing, we can't let the baby stay in your belly for too long!"

Exhausted, Su Tai exerted herself even more upon hearing this, and by the time the second child was born, she was so tired that she fainted.

Mrs. Cao was so nervous that she didn't even care about the child and went to examine Su Tai.

While you're at it, clean up all the dirt and grime.

He turned his head and called out, "Dr. Li, please come in and take a look."

Everyone looked at Doctor Li, somewhat panicked. What situation required the doctor's intervention?
Doctor Li calmly carried his medicine kit inside and carefully took Su Tai's pulse. He found that she was just a little weak, and her complexion immediately softened. "It's nothing, nothing. She's just exhausted. Let her rest well. She can eat some nutritious and soft food when she wakes up. Where's the baby? Let me see."

Wu and Cao quickly took the child over.

Dr. Li examined it carefully, and his smile deepened.

After he went outside, the people outside couldn't help but ask him all sorts of questions.

Dr. Li said calmly, "Shen Yi's wife gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl. Both mother and children are safe and sound!"
