Chapter 278: Food in Hand, No Panic in Exile 21
But it turned out that she was still careless.
Compared to the school, the clinic did make some money, but this meager income was not enough to support their family's daily expenses.
If this continues, it will take a long time to get your money back.
But even so, Chu Yuan did not close the school and the clinic. She couldn't bear to let the people here finally see a glimmer of hope and then quickly turn it into disappointment.
Since she couldn't make any money, she could just cook the books. As long as her aunt and the others could get their income on time every month, that would be enough. She paid for it from her own piggy bank.
While everything was going according to Chu Yuan's expectations, time slowly came to May. The baby in Chu Tingshu's belly was ten months old, and the delivery date was estimated to be in the next few days.
Chu Yuan brought the person to the town a few days ago and temporarily let him stay in a room behind the clinic.
Chu Yuan and Xia Yu can be fully responsible for the delivery. There is no need to find a midwife. Moreover, the clinic has all the necessary medicines, so if there is any emergency, they can respond in time.
Five days later, just as Lu Zhan and Lu Haoyuan were looking forward to the new birth at home, a familiar carriage drove into Nanli Village. Sitting on it were Chu Tingshu, who had just given birth, and Chu Yuan, who was holding her baby in her arms.
On the way home, Chu Yuan stopped by and called the two people who were still working in the fields: "Uncle, cousin, hurry home."
"Hey, hey, let's go back now."
Yuan'er's return means that their wife/mother has also returned, but we don't know whether she is safe or not, or whether she gave birth to a boy or a girl.
In fact, Lu Zhan has been very conflicted these days. When Chu Tingshu first became pregnant, they both hoped that it was a daughter in her belly, preferably one as smart and well-behaved as Yuan'er, so that their lives would be complete.
But given their current situation, they are afraid that their delicate daughter will suffer with them when she is born.
It would be better to have a son, at least he is stronger and easier to raise, and when he grows up he can work in the fields with you.
With a nervous mood, he put down the farm tools in his hands and walked back home step by step.
"Tingshu, are you okay? Are you feeling unwell?"
As soon as Lu Zhan entered the room, he saw his wife lying on the bed. Her pale face made him feel very distressed.
"Zhanlang, I'm fine. Come and see our child. She's a very well-behaved little girl."
When he heard that it was a daughter, Lu Zhan stretched out his hand much more gently, for fear of waking up the resting child.
Seeing his daughter’s rosy little face as she slept, Lu Zhan’s uneasiness suddenly disappeared.
Now that the child has been born, his responsibility as a father is to raise him well, do his best and ensure that his little one does not suffer any hardship.
Chu Yuan also came in with goat milk at this time: "Uncle, give the little one some milk. She hasn't eaten anything for the whole morning."
The journey of exile was extremely hard. Even though Chu Yuan took good care of her, Chu Tingshu's body was still a little weak and her milk supply was insufficient.
So Chu Yuan found a pregnant ewe from his own space and brought her back, intending to mix the two kinds of milk for the child to drink.
Experts in later generations unanimously believe that goat milk is the milk product that is closest to human milk. It is not only nutritionally complete, but also extremely easy to digest and absorb, so there is nothing to worry about for babies drinking it.
After the child was born, Chu Yuan spent most of his time with the mother and daughter.
When his aunt finished her confinement and the child looked much stronger, Chu Yuan knew it was time for him to leave.
She had to go back to Bingzhou, where two elderly people were waiting for her. She went to Shu without informing them in advance, and her grandparents must have been very worried.
Chu Yuan is leaving, which means Xia Yu has to leave with him, and the clinic here will need to be temporarily closed for a while.
But they all agreed that they would come back after Xia Yu sent Chu Yuan back to Bingzhou. After all, Chu Yuan was still a little worried about leaving his aunt and her family of four alone here.
After leaving Songling City, Xia Yu was taken back to the system space by Chu Yuan.
After all, she just needs to pretend in front of her aunt and the others. Chu Yuan is not really a weak woman who can't even tie a chicken.
The return journey was very fast. She didn't have much luggage and could just take what she needed from the space. So except for the very steep mountain roads, she traveled most of the time on horseback.
It took Chu Yuan less than half the time to reach Bingzhou.
Looking at the familiar customs and practices here, she actually felt like she was finally home, even though she had only lived here for a few days. Human emotions are truly elusive.
Maybe it’s because I’ve been traveling all the way and now I can finally settle down.
"Grandpa, grandma, I'm back!"
The two old men heard the familiar voice and rushed out of the hanging flower gate: "Yuanyuan? Is it Yuanyuan?"
"Yes, it's me, I'm back."
Seeing the tears in the eyes of the two elderly people and their staggering steps, Chu Yuan's heart tightened: "I'm sorry, it's Yuanyuan who made you worry."
"Yuanyuan, you don't need to apologize. I'm glad you came back safely. You've suffered a lot along the way."
No matter how Chu Yuan explained, the two old people were very stubborn and believed that Chu Yuan must have suffered a lot on the way. So they lit a fire in the yard and wanted to roast a lamb for her to nourish her body.
Chu Yuan could only accept this love without any burden. It’s true, the authentic roasted whole lamb tastes really delicious!
After that, Chu Yuan lived a life like a parasite, spending his days either eating, drinking or having fun.
Her grandparents were also very generous to her, stuffing stacks of silver bills into her arms, as if to make up for all the suffering she had endured during this period.
Chu Yuan was also happy with his leisure time. He would sleep until noon every day and then go to his grandparents' yard to receive love and feeding.
It’s a pity that such a good life was broken after just over a month because she saw someone who shouldn’t be here.
"Yun Yan?"
Yes, she was not mistaken. The man standing in her yard was Yun Yan. But when did he grow so tall? Wasn't it only a year?
"Sister? Is this your home?"
It seemed that he didn't know whose house he had broken into. Chu Yuan wondered in his heart, what kind of situation would allow a secret guard to enter a house at will?
Is it possible...
"Yun Yan, why are you here?"
Yun Yan scratched his head in embarrassment: "I'm sorry, sister, I didn't expect this to be your home. I just had to avoid a group of people chasing me, so I rushed in in a panic."
As expected, with Yun Yan's martial arts skills, who could make him avoid him?
