Ah? The ladies I stabbed have come true.

Chapter 179

[The next morning, you secretly took a piece of marinated mutton to Miaoshan and watched her eat the whole piece before letting her leave.]

[Nourished by the goat meat, you and Miaoshan have visibly become plumper.]

[After you ate that human-shaped grass root, your health improved day by day; in fact, your strength has rivaled that of an adult.]

Your father noticed the changes in you and started having you help with farm work.

You didn't refuse; instead, you asked your father if you could go to the back mountain of Sujia Village every day after finishing your farm work.

Your father is currently pleased that you're helping out at home and isn't paying much attention to what you're saying.

[With your increased strength, the traps you can set are also becoming increasingly sophisticated.]

[You've seen wild boars in the mountains before, but your little traps are so bad that even rabbits often escape them, let alone wild boars.]

So you started digging a hole in a secluded spot, and after digging it, you placed some sharp, upward-pointing branches at the bottom of the hole.

If a wild boar were to wander in, it would be impaled by these branches in an instant.

Filled with anticipation, you dug three large holes in different locations.

These large pits are located in remote areas, so there's no need to worry about accidentally harming innocent people.

After setting the trap, you caught nothing for three days. At this point, Miaoshan reminded you that you hadn't used enough bait; it was meant for catching rabbits, and certainly not enough to catch wild boars.

[After Miaoshan's reminder, you realized that you hadn't put in enough food.]

So, enduring hunger for three days, they finally managed to gather three cornbread buns and two cornbread cakes, which they placed on the same trap.

The trap worked remarkably well this time; a large wild boar was caught the very next day.

Because you were afraid that other villagers would see you and imitate you, you waited until after dark before going home.

When you dragged the wild boar carcass home, your parents were stunned, wondering how you had managed to catch such a large boar.

[You haven't even finished the mutton from last time, and now you've got a wild boar! Your parents just think you're a lucky star sent from heaven.]

Because of their neighbor's broken leg, Miaoshan's family has been struggling financially. Your parents couldn't afford to give them the mutton they had before, but now that a large wild boar has arrived, they've decided to have you deliver a pig's hind leg.

Seeing this, you were delighted, and then, carrying a huge pig's hind leg, you knocked on Miaoshan's door that very night.

When Miaoshan's mother saw you carrying such a large piece of pig's hind leg, she was startled and didn't know what you were there for.

You then revealed the origin of the pork leg.

When Miaoshan's mother learned that you had been captured using a trap, she was overjoyed and readily accepted the gift.

The way I look at you is becoming more and more appreciative.

In her view, if Miaoshan marries you when she grows up, she will have found a good family.

[In the remaining days, your health improved, your strength increased, and you caught more and more animals.]

Your father used the money from selling animal furs to renovate the house, turning it from a thatched hut into a wooden cabin.

Because of your existence, your family has become one of the wealthier families in Sujia Village.

However, due to your excessive hunting, the number of animals in the mountains is decreasing.

By the time you turn fifteen, almost all the animals in the mountains will have disappeared. Even with your excellent hunting skills, you won't be able to catch anything.

However, your father has successfully turned your family's two acres of land into twenty acres through the animals you hunted, making you a moderately wealthy farmer.

[Meishan's adoptive father, unable to work due to a broken leg, eventually became depressed and passed away one night.]

Only Miaoshan and her mother remained, relying on each other for survival.

[Because you often protect Miaoshan, and because you are extremely strong, some people in the village who wanted to prey on the childless have been unable to do anything about it.]

[Just after the seventh day after Miaoshan's adoptive father's death, Miaoshan's mother came to the door, saying she wanted Miaoshan to be your child bride.]

[You are no stranger to the concept of child brides. It is obvious that Miaoshan's mother believed she could no longer raise Miaoshan, so she entrusted her to your family to be raised. Once Miaoshan reaches the legal marriage age stipulated by the Song Dynasty, she can consummate the marriage with you.]

Although Miaoshan is now ten years old, she has blossomed into an exceptionally beautiful young woman, and one can already vaguely discern the outline of a future beauty capable of captivating a nation.

Your parents naturally wouldn't refuse Miaoshan's mother's suggestion, and soon arranged for you and Miaoshan to get married.

Miaoshan also became your child bride.

[Afterwards, you contracted out all the farm work on Miaoshan's three acres of land, so now you're essentially doing the work of ten people.]

You manage your twenty mu of land and Miaoshan's three mu of land very well, and your life has improved year by year.

Once you reached the legal marriage age stipulated by your Great Song Dynasty, you and Miaoshan began living in the same house.

[But because you were worried that Miaoshan couldn't handle it, you ignored your parents' objections and simply slept with Miaoshan in your arms for a year.]

Although Miaoshan was initially ignorant and naive, her mother often taught her about the relationship between husband and wife, and she gradually came to understand her obligations.

The sight of Miao Shan's beautiful and petite figure stirred a deep excitement in Su Mo's heart.

have to say.

Simply superb.

After living like this for almost a year, you finally couldn't resist and took advantage of your legal wife, Miaoshan.

In the scene, Miao Shan's legs are stretched taut, and her beautiful eyes are wide open to the limit...

[I don't know if it's because you're so healthy, but Miaoshan found out she was pregnant after only two months.]

Both families are very happy, and you are also very happy to be becoming a father.

To ensure Miaoshan receives adequate nutrition, you begin searching far and wide for foods beneficial to pregnant women.

Miaoshan's belly grew bigger every day.

Ten months later, you hired a midwife ahead of time to await Miaoshan's delivery.

Two hours later, a loud cry of a newborn baby was heard. The midwife then came to tell you the good news: you had given birth to a healthy baby boy, and both mother and child were safe and sound.

You were very happy and rushed into the room to see Miaoshan and the child.

At this moment, Miao Shan's face was pale, but her beautiful eyes remained bright and lively.

You are overjoyed as you look at the child she just gave birth to for you.

"Miaoshan, we finally have our child."

"As for what to call him, I think we should call him Su Donglai."

"This is what I had a fortune teller predict. My first son will be named Su Donglai, and my first daughter will be named Su Xuemei." [Miaoshan was quite satisfied. Although she wasn't very educated and had never attended a private school, she could tell that the names had profound meanings.]

[Afterwards, you diligently cared for Miaoshan during her three-month postpartum period, and the baby became increasingly healthy.]

[However, five months after giving birth to Su Donglai, Miaoshan became pregnant again.]

Seeing this, your mother couldn't help but scold you, saying that repeated childbirth is very harmful to a woman's health.

[You look quite innocent; you've already used sheep intestines, how could you still be pregnant?]

However, Miaoshan didn't blame you, because her health didn't deteriorate after childbirth; on the contrary, it got better and better. Even during her pregnancy, she didn't experience any morning sickness.

Seeing this made you very happy, so every day after finishing your farm work, you would go to work in a nearby town.

Two hours' wages can buy a pound of pork or a fat fish.

[In addition, there were chickens in the yard, so there was no shortage of eggs, and Miaoshan was not deprived of food.]

[After another ten months of pregnancy, Miaoshan gave birth to a girl. Following the fortune teller's instructions, you named her Xuemei, Su Xuemei.]

Because you're afraid Miaoshan will get pregnant again, you don't dare do anything else.

[Around the time when Xue Mei was two years old and Dong Lai was three years old.]

Miaoshan also got pregnant very quickly...

[When you were thirty, Miaoshan had already given birth to seven children, five sons and two daughters, and that was after you had exercised great restraint.]

If I hadn't restrained myself, I probably would have ten children by now.

Because you had so many children, your reputation spread quickly.

Thirty li away from Sujia Village, there is a Taoist temple called Qingshan Temple, which enshrines the Goddess of Fertility. In previous years, it was very effective; women would often become pregnant after praying three or four times.

However, in recent years it has become less effective, and the number of worshippers has gradually decreased.

After hearing of your reputation, the abbot of Qingshan Temple personally approached you and told you that if you could volunteer at Qingshan Temple, you would receive one tael of silver per day.

Now you have seven children. As the saying goes, "A half-grown boy can eat his father alive."

Seven children have already significantly increased the pressure on your life.

[After hearing about the abbot of Qingshan Temple's generous offer, you agreed without much hesitation. You'll go to Qingshan Temple tomorrow, and then you can go home once a month.]

[Upon hearing this, Miaoshan instinctively sensed something was amiss and tried to stop you from going.]

"Husband, there's no such thing as a free lunch. How could it be nearly thirty taels of silver a month?"

"This is equivalent to our whole family's annual income."

After hearing Miaoshan's words, you comforted her.

"It's alright, my wife. Once we have the money, we can send our child to a private school."

"If you pass the imperial examination and become a scholar, wouldn't that be a great honor for your ancestors?"

After hearing what you said, Miaoshan stopped refusing.

You then spent your last night before your departure.

Although Miaoshan is now a mother of seven, her breasts have not sagged due to years of breastfeeding; on the contrary, they have become even fuller and firmer.

[In other areas, the areas that should be large are large, and the areas that should be small are small.]

This makes you increasingly inseparable from Miaoshan.

After a night of tender intimacy, you asked your mother-in-law to look after Miaoshan and the children, and then went to Qingshan Temple alone.

After you arrived at Qingshan Temple, the abbot quickly arranged accommodations for you and had his disciples serve you well for three days. Only then did the abbot tell you about the temple's proven efficacy in granting children.

All the women who come here are alone, seeking a child. If a man is sincere and pays a high price for offerings, he will take her to the back courtyard, where the abbot will personally help her conceive.

In his earlier years, the abbot of Qingshan Temple could manage, but as he aged, he began to show signs of fatigue.

[Furthermore, his apprentices were all born with insufficient vital energy and were unable to perform this kind of work.]

Having heard of your reputation, the abbot spared no expense to invite you, hoping you would be capable of handling this task.

Although you were reluctant when you heard this, you gritted your teeth and agreed, thinking of the seven hungry children behind you.

So for the rest of the days, you ate lavish meals of meat and fish every day, along with various soups made from epimedium, goji berries, polygonatum, pig's penis, and deer antler.

This supplement will make you so angry you'll be fuming, and your face will be flushed every day.

You were no longer so resistant to the task assigned by the Abbot of Qingshan Temple, and thus began your journey of helping others seek children.

However, these women are not even a fraction as beautiful as Miaoshan, so you are not truly happy.

But the thought of earning an ounce of silver a day kept you on your toes.

A month later, you returned home with dark circles under your eyes and a weak body, carrying some money.

Upon seeing the beautiful Miaoshan, you immediately cheered and handed her thirty taels of silver.

Seeing that you actually brought back the silver, Miaoshan was very happy. She then told you that she was planning to send her eldest and second sons to a private school.

As for tuition, it is ten taels of silver per person per year.

You did not refuse after hearing that.

Ten taels of silver is nothing more than ten days' worth of your labor.

After spending three days with Miaoshan, you returned to Qingshan Temple and began your day on donkeys and horses.

Because of your presence, the incense at Qingshan Temple has begun to flourish again, and people from all over Ruzhou County and nearby counties come to pray for children and worship the gods.

[I wonder if it's because of the human-shaped grass root you ate as a child, but your stamina is astonishing; it wasn't until five years later that you felt your strength waning. So you bid farewell to the Abbot of Qingshan Temple and returned home.]

Over the past five years, you have helped tens of thousands of women successfully conceive.

[And you used the money you earned to buy land, and now your family owns two hundred acres of land.]

After returning home, Miaoshan gave birth to her eleventh child; her belly had been constantly pregnant for the past few years.

Seeing Miaoshan grow increasingly mature and beautiful, you feel like the luckiest person in the world.

[However, after giving birth to her eleventh child, Miaoshan said she dreamed of Buddha, who told her to find her biological parents so that she could attain enlightenment after death.]
