Fortunately, with the experience from her past life, He Tingyue knew what it was and didn’t panic.
She discreetly hid the old wild ginseng in a crack beside the kang, doing so carefully!
Even now, she hadn’t fully processed the miraculous events of tonight, but she knew that the mysterious hospital that had drawn her there would surely be of great help to her!
If there were so many wonders just on the first floor, she hardly dared imagine how extraordinary the golden-glowing rooftop must be…
Just as her thoughts wandered, Lin Feizhou walked in carrying a bowl of noodles.
As soon as he entered, he caught a strong whiff of blood and couldn’t help but pale, nearly dropping the bowl!
Afraid he would worry, He Tingyue was about to explain, but Lin Feizhou had already lifted her blanket…
When he saw the dark bloodstains beneath her, his heart felt as if it were being wrung with pain.
“It’s all my fault. I knew the Lin Family had ill intentions toward you—how could I have left you alone here!”
Hearing his self-reproach, He Tingyue guessed he must have already found out the truth in town and couldn’t help but sigh inwardly.
“Fei Zhou, don’t panic. This is lochia—it’s good for it to be discharged.”
“But…but why is there so much blood…”
He couldn’t imagine how his wife’s delicate body could have lost so much blood. How much pain must she have endured?
Seeing his slightly reddened eyes, He Tingyue smiled gently and took his hand.
“That’s why I need you to help me recover properly. What did you make for the noodles? It smells so good!”
Only then did Lin Feizhou pick up the bowl of noodles he had set aside and began feeding her carefully.
After all, she had just given birth and gone through so much. After eating the noodles Lin Feizhou had made, He Tingyue finally couldn’t hold back and fell into a deep sleep.
She slept straight through until the next morning, awakened by the sound of a shovel striking the ground outside the room.
She turned her head and saw that Fubao was also awake, nestled obediently in her arms, neither crying nor fussing, just staring at her intently.
Even though she knew the little one had just been born and could hardly see anything clearly, He Tingyue couldn’t help but feel her eyes grow warm.
She gently kissed her daughter’s forehead and was about to prop herself up to get off the kang for a walk when Lin Feizhou walked in carrying a bowl of fragrant chicken soup.
Outside, Yue Hongmei’s curses immediately followed, echoing into the room.
Lin Feizhou acted as if he hadn’t heard a thing, placing the bowl near He Tingyue.
Though it was called chicken soup, half of it was shredded meat he had torn off. He blew on it gently to cool it before feeding it to He Tingyue bit by bit.
He Tingyue obediently opened her mouth, only pushing his hand away gently when she felt she couldn’t eat another bite.
Lin Feizhou then took the bowl and slurped down the remaining soup and meat in just a few mouthfuls.
By the time the couple had finished eating, Yue Hongmei’s cursing outside still hadn’t stopped!
Seeing Lin Feizhou’s brows furrowed tightly, looking as if he couldn’t take it anymore, He Tingyue was about to speak when Lin Feizhou took a deep breath and gently pulled away the pad beneath her.
Even though he knew what it was, his hands trembled slightly before he silently replaced it with a new one.
He carried the cushion out the door, directly bypassing Yue Hongmei, who was cursing vigorously in the courtyard.
Chu Yu couldn't help but secretly rejoice in her heart at the sight of the crimson bloodstains on the cushion in his hand!
Excellent!
It seemed He Tingyue truly had no defenses and had indeed drunk the lactation soup she had prepared!
Just a few more times, and that wretched woman He Tingyue would surely meet the King of Hell!
As she was thinking this, Lin Laogen walked out of the east room as if nothing had happened.
Seeing him, Lin Feizhou paused his hands from scrubbing the cushion, but then immediately lowered his head and continued with his work.
Seeing this, the displeasure in Lin Laogen's eyes grew deeper and deeper.
This youngest son was truly becoming uncontrollable…
Indeed, a child not of one's own blood could never be tamed!
Since that was the case, he shouldn't blame him for being ruthless!
Thinking this, Lin Laogen had already walked to the pit he had dug the previous night, but for some reason, he felt a vague unease in his heart.
After a moment's thought, he slowly walked down the slope to the bottom of the pit. Only when his foot kicked the iron box buried there the day before did he finally relax.
By the time he went back up to plant the locust sapling in the pit, Lin Feizhou had also walked over to his side. Looking at the pit before him, a cold glint flashed in Lin Feizhou's eyes.
"Dad, why did you suddenly think of planting a locust tree in the courtyard?"
"It's all because of your mother. She loves locust flower pancakes the most, so I thought I'd plant one for her to save her from nagging."
The words sounded pleasant enough, and if Lin Feizhou hadn't known what was buried at the bottom of that pit, he might have believed them.
Chu Yu was obediently eating the boiled eggs Yue Hongmei had cooked for her, watching as Lin Laogen slowly filled the pit in the courtyard. It was as if she were seeing He Tingyue and that little bastard being buried bit by bit, and she trembled with excitement!
Lin Feizhou glanced at her expressionlessly, letting out a soft snort from his nose.
Laugh now—soon enough, none of you will be laughing!
For some reason, seeing Lin Feizhou's expression sent an inexplicable chill down Chu Yu's spine, but before she could ponder it further, Wu Jianjun's booming voice already echoed from outside the door.
"Old Gen, are you home?"
Lin Laogen hadn't expected Wu Jianjun to visit so early in the morning and quickly threw down his shovel to open the door.
Seeing Lin Feizhou standing straight in the courtyard, Wu Jianjun flashed an ingratiating smile.
"Oh, Fei Zhou is here too? Perfect, I've brought your Lin Xi's birth certificate. Take good care of it~"
As he spoke, Wu Jianjun pulled a piece of paper from his pocket and handed it to Lin Feizhou, not even bothering to exchange a word with Lin Laogen the entire time.
Lin Laogen felt rather sour inside, thinking Wu Jianjun didn't hold him in high regard.
But soon, Wu Jianjun turned his gaze to him and Chu Yu.
"Educated Youth Chu, someone has reported you for forcibly seizing military dependents' supplies. Your mindset is very dangerous! Our Fengmu Brigade does not tolerate such behavior!"
After saying this, he looked at the eggshells still lying in front of Chu Yu, which she hadn't had time to clear away, and couldn't help but darken his expression.
"Educated Youth Chu, you eat two eggs in one meal?"
How precious are eggs as food?
Even if he were the brigade leader, he couldn't eat eggs every day, yet this educated youth Chu Yu clearly didn't regard them as anything special—there were still bits of egg yolk left in the shell. How could this not bother him?
What mattered most was that Chu Yu's parents were living in the cowshed, gnawing on cornbread!
Yet here she was, living like a capitalist young lady in the Lin Family. How could someone so unfilial expect Wu Jianjun to treat her kindly?
Chu Yu hadn't expected Wu Jianjun to turn his attention to her. Feeling guilty, she pitifully looked toward Yue Hongmei.
Yue Hongmei swallowed hard and was about to speak up for her when, unexpectedly, Wu Jianjun shifted his focus to her!
"I heard you drove Zhang the Midwife away yesterday? Don't you know childbirth is like walking through the gates of hell for women? What were you trying to do?!"
