Carrying the little lucky star, leading the villain on the road to exile

Chapter 334. Production
"I just walked over there and heard shouts coming from their yard. I didn't hear very clearly, but I got the gist of it," Zhu Ziqiang said without hiding anything. "Do you want to go take a look?"

Tian Cuifen: "Is it alright for me to come over now?"

“What’s wrong with that? When they came to the village, didn’t you help them out for a while?”
Moreover, as the village chief, it's not appropriate for me to intervene when they have children; it's easier for you women to talk to me.

They're new here after all, and there's a lot they don't know. Why don't you stay there and see if there's anything you can do to help?"

"No, old man, why are you so concerned?"

"Besides asking villagers to do things at the beginning, they solved everything themselves after so many people came." Tian Cuifen couldn't understand it. Other families had also had children, but they weren't so enthusiastic.

"Sigh, Gu Kaiyuan and his family may live here permanently in the future. Moreover, they have purchased so many mountains and so much land. They are quite wealthy."

We'll inevitably have to deal with each other again in the future. If you can build a good relationship with him, they might need to hire someone for work after spring, and then I'll be able to go and discuss things with them."

Zhu Ziqiang had his own considerations. Although he had gained some favors by acting as a witness before, how much of a difference could they make?

This woman is still whining and complaining at this rare opportunity to make friends.

“You’re right,” Tian Cuifen thought of the family’s income a while ago, and even she and her daughter-in-law received wages, which made her feel a surge of excitement.

He quickly washed his hands, went back to his room to change into clean clothes, and hurriedly headed towards the end of the village.

Despite the pain, Bai Suihe walked back and forth in the room with the help of two maids.

Granny Pang prepared all the necessary birthing supplies and directed the midwife around.

The midwife was also carefully selected, and she had stayed here for some time. Knowing that Granny Pang had medical skills, she happily assisted her from the side.

This was also the most worry-free pregnant woman she had ever seen; she remained remarkably calm from the moment the contractions began.

First, I tidied myself up, then ate and drank my fill, and now, according to the pattern of contractions, I'm moving around.

"Madam is really steady," the midwife couldn't help but praise. "If the women I deliver babies had this composure, they would suffer much less."

Those who shout and yell at the beginning are often exhausted when it comes to actual production.

Unfortunately, she had told them before, but many people didn't know why, and always felt that childbirth required loud shouting to be real.

Wouldn't it be better to concentrate all your efforts in one place?

She had also experienced the pain of childbirth and couldn't help but cry out, but she didn't exaggerate like some people who start screaming as soon as labor begins.

Granny Pang looked at Bai Suihe with a loving expression. This kind of temperament was truly rare for a young lady who had been pampered and spoiled by the madam.

Little did they know that Bai Suihe was already panicking. She was being asked to be a mother right away, and this was her first time giving birth.

If her baby hadn't told her not to be nervous and that she wouldn't suffer too much, her legs would have gone weak long ago.

In ancient times, childbirth was a matter of life and death, and even with Granny Pang and the midwife waiting by her side, she still had no confidence.

"Mother, I've adjusted my position." The baby's excited voice came from my mind. "I'll be able to come out and see you soon." Upon hearing this, Bai Suihe quickly said, "Granny, I think I'm about to give birth."

Granny Pang finished packing her things, immediately helped her back to bed, took her pulse, and said to the midwife, "The baby is coming out."

The two maids, being pregnant, had already been kicked out by Granny Pang, for fear of frightening them.

But Dongmei and the others didn't leave; instead, they waited outside the door with several old women.

Hearing that she was about to give birth, she hurriedly urged the old woman beside her to go to the kitchen and fetch some hot water.

They were also told to heat the kang (heated brick bed) a little warmer, so that their master wouldn't get cold.

"Ladies, why don't you go back to your rooms and rest? It's too cold outside." Madam Wu tried her best to shield herself from the wind, but the biting cold outside was too much for her to bear.
“Yes, Sister Wu is right,” Song Liu also advised. “You mustn’t catch a cold now. We’ll take care of things here. Besides, you’ve been looking after Xiao Cui and Pan Di for so long. They will take good care of you, Miss.”

Ever since the maids from both families were taken in by Dongmei and the others, they knew that the young lady was training a new head maid.

This is fantastic news! Before, they lived in remote farms and had never even seen their owners.

Now that you have such a great opportunity to serve the young lady of the main family, you can have a bright future like Dongmei and the others.

Wu Xiaocui and Song Pandi nodded quickly, "Don't worry, sisters, we will serve our master well. If we don't understand something, we will definitely ask you."

"It's too cold outside. You should all go back to your rooms and rest. If you catch a cold, Miss will definitely blame you."

Dongmei and Chunxiang knew they couldn't be of much help here, but they didn't leave. Instead, they went to the next room, where they could be closest to their mistress and feel more at ease.

Seeing that they weren't outside getting cold, the others stopped trying to persuade them.

Just then, there was a knock at the door. Li Dazhuang opened it and saw the village chief's wife. "What is it?"

"We heard some noise coming from your area, but Madam Gu is about to give birth," Tian Xiaocui said nervously, accompanied by her two daughters-in-law. "We heard the commotion and wanted to come over to see if there's anything we could help with."

Li Dazhuang didn't know what was going on inside, and he didn't want to offend the village chief in Tiancun, so he said, "Our young lady is about to give birth. As for whether we can help, I don't know. Why don't you wait a moment, and I'll go in and ask for you?"

Tian Cuifen nodded quickly, "Then I'll have to trouble you."

Her two daughters-in-law followed behind, not daring to speak. Last time they came to do something, there weren't so many rules. This Madam Gu really comes from a wealthy family. Judging from her tone, the servants here were all brought by her family.

Looking at such a large courtyard, I couldn't help but feel a little envious. I wondered if they would ever have the chance to spend a night in such a house in their lifetime.

Li Dazhuang quickly brought out his wife, Li Huangshi, and said, "Madam Village Chief, thank you for making this trip. Please come in."

Granny Pang stayed in the room with the young lady, leaving the affairs outside to be handled by these few old women.

They used to live on the farm and knew that they couldn't afford to offend the local villagers. When they heard the news and came to visit with good intentions, they couldn't refuse them entry.

When they invited the people to the central courtyard, the three women—mother-in-law, daughter-in-law, and servants—discovered that there were quite a few maids and servants in the courtyard.

It's quite strange; the lives of the rich are truly luxurious. With only two masters and so many servants, how much silver must it cost to support them?
