Quick Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder's Comeback in the Era Tales

Chapter 161: Chapter 161: The Daughter Who Was Sold 25

Ge Sangen scratched the back of his head, a bit sheepishly, ”Mom, I was in a hurry at the time and forgot your advice.”

Yuan Chun chuckled awkwardly, ”Grandma, I forgot too. My mom’s water broke first. I heard from my classmates that it’s dangerous if the water breaks first during childbirth, and since my mom was having twins, it was even more dangerous. We were so focused on getting my mom to the hospital that we forgot to inform the Qian family.”

Granny Qian, upon hearing this, broke into a sweat for her daughter and two grandsons, ”What did the doctor say? Is your mom just exhausted and fainted, or is there something wrong?”

”It’s okay. The doctor said my mom will wake up once she’s had enough rest.”

In fact, if Yuan Chun hadn’t promptly fed Qian Xiaoying a Revitalizing Pill for strength during the childbirth, and if she hadn’t used her spiritual power along the way to protect the two children, ensuring they weren’t suffocated, the lives of the mother and twins may not have been saved.

Otherwise, Qian Xiaoying would have surely had a difficult birth.

Qian Xiaoying woke up shortly afterward.

Uncle Qian rode a bicycle to the State-owned Restaurant to buy breakfast. After everyone finished eating, Ge Sangen and Granny Qian stayed at the hospital to care for Qian Xiaoying and the twins, while the others went to school, work, or the factory.

With just five days left before the school summer vacation, to maintain Qian Xiaoying’s role as a school record keeper, Granny Qian had her daughter-in-law ask for five days’ leave and return to the village to substitute for Qian Xiaoying,

while Uncle Qian and another teacher at the school substituted for Auntie Qian.

Since Qian Xiaoying had a natural childbirth and the twins were very healthy, the mother and children stayed at the hospital for just one night before being discharged the next morning.

Once her foster mother and the two younger brothers were home, Yuan Chun went up the mountain to hunt and came back with two plump wild chickens for Granny Qian to make broth for the foster mother.

Old Man Qian also went up the mountain and returned with a wild rabbit.

Uncle Qian managed to buy a pig’s trotter, a bag of brown sugar, and a bottle of malted milk from the supply and marketing cooperative.

Without a mother-in-law, it was Granny Qian who attended to Qian Xiaoying during her postpartum period. The Qian family contributed their rations, and they combined meals with the Ge family. With three hunters in the family, there was meat at every meal. By the time Qian Xiaoying completed her postpartum period, not only hadn’t she lost weight, but she had even gained some.

After her postpartum rest, Qian Xiaoying returned to work, and Granny Qian came to her daughter’s home during the day to take care of the grandchildren, returning to the Qian household at night.

Perhaps because the two younger brothers had benefited from the Revitalizing Pill in the womb, they were very healthy, never fell ill, and were easy to look after.

In the blink of an eye, five years passed, and cousin Qian Zhongxin was accepted into Beijing University. The Qian and Ge families were very pleased; on the day cousin started off for Beijing, everyone from the Qian and Ge families joined to see him off at the train station.

While cousin was alone in the restroom, Yuan Chun pulled him aside to secretly give him some advice, ”Cousin, I heard things are a bit chaotic over in Beijing. After you get to Beijing University, just focus on your studies. Don’t get caught up in anything that you might regret for life, and don’t get involved in anything. Just play it as if you were deaf and blind, and focus solely on studying.”

”If there are any changes at school, don’t rush back. Wait a bit. There might be unexpected opportunities for you.”

Her brother listened to her words, a bit puzzled.

However, he knew his sister wasn’t one for needless warnings; if she said so, she must have some information he wasn’t privy to.

He carved her words into his heart.

On their return from the train station, before entering the village, they all saw a crowd at the entrance to Ge Family Village. Many were from the village, but there were also many unfamiliar faces. Among them were people crying and sobbing.

Granny Qian walked over, pulling aside an old friend, ”Grandma Pengzi, what’s going on? Did something happen to someone in the village?”
