In fact, Liu Siyue had already breathed her last when she fell. At this moment, Liu Siyue from another time and space came through. She opened her eyes for a moment, but she was too weak and didn't have time to think too much before she pretended to be dead again. Only then did Doctor Wu diagnose her pulse, which was both real and feigned.

Liu Shitou handed the child to Liu Ruyun, saying, "Sister Ruyun, this is April's baby. I'll go get your medicine."

Liu Ruyun took the baby. The baby was wrinkled and made a kitten-like cry. She must be hungry. What should she do? She remembered that there were women in the village who were breastfeeding their babies. They lived not far from their houses, so she took the baby over and said, "Aunt Yu, my cousin's baby is hungry. She would like Sister Zaohua to help feed him."

"Take it inside; your eldest grandson can't finish it."

"Zaohua, please help Ruyun's baby with breastfeeding."

"Yes, Mother. Let Ruyun bring the child in."

Liu Ruyun carried the child into the house, "Sister-in-law Zaohua."

"Give me the child."

Zao Hua took the baby and examined it. "This baby probably wasn't born full-term; it's only a few days old, isn't it?"

"I don't know. This is April's baby. She was divorced by her husband's family in April and jumped off a cliff in a moment of despair. She is still unconscious."

Zao Hua felt even more pity for the child. She lifted up his clothes, and perhaps it was human instinct. The baby tried to find the scent of milk, opened his little mouth, and began to suckle. His little mouth arched and suckled, which was very cute.

"Ruyun, Gouwa is still small and can't finish all the milk. If the baby gets hungry, bring her over. Leave the baby with me for now. Go do what you need to do and come back to hold the baby when you're done."

"Thank you, sister-in-law. Please take care of the child for now. I'll come back to hold her later."

Liu Ruyun went inside, greeted Aunt Yu, and hurried home. She saw Liu Shitou pacing around the courtyard gate. "Sister Ruyun, the medicine has been brought. Here you go."

"We'll settle the consultation and medication fees on credit for now."

"Thank you, Stone. Please give my thanks to your father. We are very grateful to you all today. When April wakes up, I will have her go to your house to express her gratitude."

"No need to thank me. We are all of the same race. This concerns human lives, how can we stand idly by?"

Liu Ruyun's family had nothing else, but they had a medicine pot. Feng Shi was a walking medicine pot; otherwise, life wouldn't have been so difficult. Liu Ruyun started to decoct the medicine, boiling three bowls of water down to one. Once it wasn't too hot, she pried open Liu Siyue's mouth and fed her spoonful by spoonful. Seeing that she could still swallow, she was very happy. While feeding her, she said, "Siyue, I am your cousin Ruyun. You must wake up quickly. Your child is waiting. You can't just think of yourself and cruelly leave her alone in the world to be bullied."

You must wake up! I won't help you take care of the child. If someone bullies her, I won't be responsible.

Liu Siyue had long been awakened by the bitter and spicy medicine soup. She felt that all the organs in her body were acting up and were very irritable. Her head was very dizzy and her eyelids were so heavy that she couldn't open them. However, she had heard Liu Ruyun's words clearly.

She called her April, but her pronunciation was a bit off. She must not have learned the four tones properly in elementary school, otherwise she wouldn't have pronounced the first tone as the fourth. She said she was Ruyun's cousin, but she had never heard her father mention such a relative. Moreover, her father had no siblings. Where did this cousin come from? And she mentioned a child, saying it was her own child. She herself was still a college student who hadn't graduated. Where did this child come from? Could this Ruyun have mistaken someone for someone else?

As she pondered, her mind started to twitch. She dared not think about anything anymore, so she lay quietly and gradually fell asleep, sleeping until noon the next day.

After feeding Siyue her medicine, Liu Ruyun washed the medicine pot and began to brew medicine for her mother. A series of coughs came from inside the room, so Liu Ruyun quickly went in to help her mother catch her breath and gave her some water. "Mother, are you feeling better now?"

"I'm much better now. Tell your mother what's wrong with that girl, April? I'm a little worried."

"Mother, lie down first. Your medicine is still being brewed outside. I'll go check on it."

Liu Ruyun went out and stirred the medicine, then simmered it over a low flame before returning to the house. She took a small stool and sat by the bed, then told Liu Siyue what had happened. "Mother, I heard from Uncle Tian that Siyue was divorced by her husband's family. This morning, when she returned to the village, the old house wouldn't let her in and said some very hurtful things. She was holding a newborn baby and felt like she had no way out. In her despair, she jumped off a cliff at the village entrance and hit her head. Uncle Tian and Shitou saved them."

Uncle Yutian initially sent April to the old house, but the old house was closed, and she was afraid that it would delay her treatment, so she sent her to our house instead.

I sent my baby, born in April, to Aunt Yu's house so that Sister-in-law Zaohua could help feed the baby some milk. The baby cried, and I really didn't know what to do. Sister-in-law Zaohua said the baby didn't look like it was born full-term.

"Mrs. Feng sighed. Her sisters and her siblings had a hard life, having such parents and grandparents. Fortunately, your mother and father made a tough decision to cut off ties with the old house. Although life was tough, at least you sisters wouldn't suffer.

If each member of our family saves a little and digs up more wild vegetables, she won't starve. Although we are poor, at least we can shelter her from the wind and rain, and she will have us to rely on.

I wonder what happened to that girl at the Lu family, why they divorced her, and what happened to the premature birth. When your father comes back later, have him go out and find out.

"I know, Mother, don't worry about these things. We'll take care of things."

"Mom, you take a nap first. I'm going out to check the medicine. It's time to make lunch; Dad and my sister should be back soon."

Liu Ruyun stirred the medicine again and told her to simmer it slowly before going to the kitchen to cook. Footsteps came from outside the yard; it was her four younger sisters returning from gathering pig feed and digging for wild vegetables. Liu Ruxue and Liu Ruyu put the pig feed in the backyard. The family had two pigs and more than a dozen hens, which were the main source of income for them.

Liu Ruyue and Liu Ruxing are twin sisters who look very alike and are very lovable. The two carried baskets into the kitchen. "Big sister, we dug up wild vegetables, picked mushrooms, and also collected 3 wild eggs today."

This startled Liu Ruyun. "Have you gone deep into the mountains?"

"No, you can ask my second and third sisters if you don't believe me, they can testify."

"Big sister, we did find this at the place where we cut pig feed. We'll cook it for them later, look how greedy they are."

"I have something to tell you. April is back, but she's injured and is currently lying in her room. Be careful when you go in later."

"Big sister, who is April?"

"I'll have your second sister tell you later. Third brother, come over and watch the porridge for a while. I'll go to Aunt Yu's house and bring the child back."

"Big sister, what child? We'll go with you."

"You just stay home, your older sister will be back soon, and she'll tell you when she gets back."

Liu Ruyue and Liu Ruxing looked at their second sister. "Second sister, who is April?"

"April is your cousin. I'll take you to see her. Don't make a fuss."

"Okay, Second Sister." The two quickly covered their mouths with their hands.

"My cousin is injured; it must be in a lot of pain!"

"Come on, let's go out and see Mother."

Liu Ruyun encountered Liu Dawang returning from the fields at the gate, carrying a bundle of firewood on his back. "Dad, you went up the mountain?"

"Well, we weren't having much firewood left, so I went and chopped some. Whose child are you holding?"

Liu Ruyun told her father to go back and put down the firewood first, and then talk to him slowly.
