“I’ll pay for the midwife! Hubby has agreed to this!”
When she saw that the three of them still wanted to speak, Qin Xiaoyao continued, “The circumstances are exceptional. If we don’t pay enough money, the midwife won’t agree to go to the Liu family.”
“Second Sister-in-law and little nephew are the most important. At this point, let’s not stand on ceremony with each other.”
The Qin family’s father and sons looked at each other, and finally, no one objected.
However, Qin Erhu had already made up his mind.
He would definitely return this sum of money to his younger sister in the future.
Qin Xiaoyao finally nodded in satisfaction when she saw their reactions.
…..
“Then let’s not delay any further. Quickly get Eldest Sister-in-law and Second Sister-in-law to pack up.”
“Then, we’ll escort them away separately,” she said.
Qin Dahu and Qin Erhu exchanged glances and murmured their acknowledgment.
They hurriedly went off to look for their respective wives.
Qin Dazhuang sighed as he watched his two sons leave.
Fortunately, his daughter had come back and made the decision. Otherwise, the three of them would still be hesitating.
After a short while, the two women came out with their luggage.
In Eldest Sister-in-law’s arms was Xiaohu, who was looking at everyone curiously with his eyes wide open.
Fortunately, it was still early and not time for her to send Xiaohu for his milk feeding. Otherwise, the child would definitely be crying.
Qin Xiaoyao was a little worried when she saw that her eldest nephew was awake.
Although Xiaohu tended not to cry as much as other children his age, such a young child was prone to bursting into tears without warning.
If he were to cry on the way later, it would attract too much attention.
After hesitating for a moment, Qin Xiaoyao decided to bring her sister-in-law and nephew to the Liu family personally.
“Eldest Sister-in-law and Xiaohu will come with me.”
“Second Brother, you will send Second Sister-in-law to Big Girl’s house.”
“In addition, Father, you and Big Brother will go and pick up the midwife,” Qin Xiaoyao said.
As she said this, she took out five pieces of silver from her pocket.
“We’ll have to talk to the midwife and ask her to stay at Big Girl’s house until the two babies are born.”
A hint of hesitation flashed across Qin Dazhuang’s face, but he still reached out to take the silver that his daughter had given him.
Qin Xiaoyao then looked at her second sister-in-law, who appeared very nervous.
“I’ve already spoken to Uncle Liu and Aunt Liu.”
“Second Sister-in-law, they’ll take good care of you after you go over.”
Second Sister-in-law nodded with a pale face.
“I have caused you trouble, Younger Sister,” she said.
Qin Xiaoyao felt a little apologetic when she saw her expression.
“It’s not a problem,” she replied.
Thereafter, she immediately got everyone to start moving.
Only then did the Qin family leave.
Qin Xiaoyao carried the luggage and walked in front, followed by Eldest Sister-in-law, who was carrying Qin Xiaohu in her arms.
The three of them walked carefully into the alley.
Qin Xiaoyao surveyed the path ahead cautiously.
When she noticed there was someone ahead, she would immediately turn back and warn the people behind her.
Eldest Sister-in-law, on the other hand, was highly focused as she carefully carried the baby, afraid that he would cry mid-way.
It didn’t take long for the two of them to arrive at the Liu family’s residence in an uneasy mood.
Eldest Sister-in-law carried Xiaohu in her arms and looked at both ends of the alley vigilantly, waiting for Qin Xiaoyao to knock on the door.
The closer they were to the end of the journey, the more nervous they were as they were afraid that something would happen.
Qin Xiaoyao didn’t hesitate and quickly knocked on the door.
In the end, after knocking for a while, no one came to open the door.
She guessed that the people of the Liu family must be terrified and thought that she was a mountain bandit, which was why they didn’t dare to answer the door.
Qin Xiaoyao furrowed her brows tightly. She glanced at her eldest sister-in-law, who was panic-stricken, and didn’t hesitate any longer.
This time, after knocking on the door, she spoke up.
“Is Aunt Liu here?”
“We’re from the Qin family, and we’re here to ask Mrs. Liu for a favor!” Her voice wasn’t loud, but it wasn’t soft either.
If there was someone behind the door, they would definitely hear her.
Sure enough, the door was opened immediately.
It was opened by the eldest son of the Liu family.
“Madam Qin, Mrs. Qin!” Liu Dalang called out when he saw the two of them.
Immediately, he let the two in.
After the two of them entered, Liu Dalang quickly closed the door.
Then, he invited the two of them inside.
“I’m really sorry. Just now…” Liu Dalang’s face was flushed, and his tone was very apologetic.
His family had already agreed to feed Xiaohu milk and had received a lot of money and food from the Qin family.
Yet when they came looking for him, he had almost turned them away.
“I can understand,” Qin Xiaoyao replied.
After her sister-in-law carried Xiaohu away to look for Liu Dalang’s wife, she and Liu Dalang went to one side.
Then, she took out a tael of silver from her pocket.
“From here onward, my sister-in-law and nephew will have to impose on your family for a while. This one tael of silver is a little token of my appreciation. Please keep it.”
Liu Dalang rejected her offer immediately.
“How can I accept this? Big Brother Qin had already given me money before.”
“The money we paid before was for Mrs. Liu to help with the milk feeding. This tael of silver is for my sister-in-law’s food and accommodation for the next few days.” Qin Xiaoyao insisted on paying.
“In addition, I’ll come back again after dark. I’ll bring you guys some food. We have to ensure that there is food for the family so that there is milk for the two babies,” Qin Xiaoyao continued.
Liu Dalang’s eyes lit up as he thought of something.
Then, his eyes dimmed again.
“I think just forget it. The situation outside…”
The mountain bandits outside were killing people randomly.
It was already risky enough for Madam Qin to come here. How could he let her make another trip?
“It’s okay. I know what I’m doing. When the time comes, I’ll come over and call out to you. Just open the door for me,” Qin Xiaoyao interrupted Liu Dalang straightaway.
Liu Dalang hesitated for a moment when he realized that there was indeed not much food left at home. Eventually, he nodded his head.
After that, Qin Xiaoyao went to the room of Liu Dalang’s wife. After taking a look at her sister-in-law and Xiaohu, she left.
After leaving the Liu family’s house, Qin Xiaoyao went back to the Song family’s residence.
As both families were staying in Yong An Lane, it didn’t take much effort for her to return home.
When Song Que saw that his wife had returned, his heart was finally at ease.
…..
After the couple talked for a while, Qin Xiaoyao mentioned that she wanted to give away biscuits.
“I’m thinking that I should send some biscuits to Big Girl’s house and the Liu family’s house.”
“Now, they’re not only short of food but also firewood. If I send some biscuits over to help them tide over these few days, the rest will be easy to settle.”
Song Que only felt that his wife was being too considerate to other people.
However, considering the relationship between his wife and her maiden family, he didn’t say anything in the end.
“There’s still quite a lot of those biscuits left which you made previously. Our family probably can’t finish them.”
“Take some out and send it to them,” Song Que said after some thought.
Qin Xiaoyao smiled.
“I was thinking the same thing.”
“Also, I’ll be sending them some bean sprouts.”
“In any case, our family can’t sell bean sprouts these few days. In two more days, those bean sprouts will all become old.”
Song Que’s face clouded over slightly.
“You’re doing this alone. How can you carry so many things?” he said.
It was already risky enough to deliver the biscuits. If she still brought bean sprouts, wouldn’t she become a bigger target?
Qin Xiaoyao laughed.
“Don’t worry. I’ll carry the bamboo backpack. I will make the deliveries to the two families separately.”
“The mountain bandits have just taken over Mountain Spring Town. They have killed people and robbed things. There’s a high chance they won’t come out to rob again tonight.”
Instead, they would eat and drink their fill and enjoy the fruits of their victory.
After a good rest, they would continue to rob during the day the next day..
