ny risks. I brought her a few sets of old clothes that are enough for changing and washing. These can be given to other soldiers instead.""Yes."The female guardsman also felt that the pampered Third P...Although Ripple woke up, she didn't open her eyes. She was feigning sleep, but her ears were keenly attuned to all the sounds in the yard.

The first one up was the old woman with the little feet. After getting up, she probably went to make breakfast. She heard the sound of spatulas clashing and the other person cursing in a low voice:

"One by one, they all wait on me. Now that I have a woman to serve me, this old lady doesn't even need to cook or clean."

Half an hour later, the old woman sharply called her youngest daughter out.

"Yo-yo, get up quickly, or are you waiting for your mother to wait on you"

Then came another series of creaking door sounds, followed by a girl's voice:

"Mother, can't you let me sleep a little longer!"

"Just sleep your life away, all you do is eat and sleep all day long. Eat when you wake up, sleep when you're full."

This month it wasn't my turn to go out and work, so of course I should rest well. Besides, if I hadn't stepped in, would my second brother have been able to find such a beautiful wife And he chose her himself, you know.

The girl's voice was slightly displeased.

"Okay, okay, I know you're Qiao's great hero, but after all this time, only that college girl got pregnant. Why hasn't the woman in front gotten pregnant"

The old woman asked with some puzzlement.

"You should ask my brother about that, I don't know."

"Bring the meal in and tell your second brother it's time to eat."

The old woman said.

"Okay!"

The girl yawned and tiptoed into the room. After a while, a rather heavy footstep sounded, followed by Joe Two's voice:

"Mom, you go give Jingjing some food first, she's still carrying my son!"

"Alright, I'll go now."

The old woman muttered a few words under her breath and then walked toward the cluttered storage room where ripples were.

The ripples gradually slowed their breathing, and when the old woman placed her food on the ground, she did not react at all.

"Come eat!"

The old woman shouted in a shrill voice.

The ripples still had no reaction.

The old woman watched the woman who usually came running when she heard mealtime, but today she didn't react at all. Her heart skipped a beat. She shuffled over with small steps and kicked Ripples.

The ripples still endured, holding her breath as a hand reached for the space beneath her nostrils. She immediately held her own breath.

"Ouch! What's wrong"

The old woman was startled and immediately began to scream:

"Second brother, little sister, come quickly, this woman seems to have lost her breath."

Bridge the second and the youngest sister in the house, hearing this, each put down their bowls and chopsticks and ran to the storeroom.

The ripples, as the old woman's hand left her nostrils, slowly exhaled a breath, and even more slowly inhaled, not allowing any rise and fall in her chest cavity. She seemed like someone who had breathed their last.

Qiao Lao Er rushed into the storage room and saw his mother sitting on the floor, along with a woman who had no rise and fall in her chest. He immediately reached out to feel Ripple's breath, his face turning pale as death. But looking at the woman's protruding belly, he still didn't give up hope and touched the woman's pulse. This time, he felt a faint pulse, and then directly began to pinch Ripple's Hundred Meetings point.

About half a minute later, the ripples finally took a long breath.

"Second brother, how are you Are you dead"

Yaomei directly asked.

"You go ask the village doctor."

Joe the Second scowled and said.

"Oh!"

Yo-mei noticed that her second brother's face was not good, and immediately turned around and ran out of the yard.

Qiao Lao Er blackened his face and asked the old lady:

"Mother, haven't you fed her these past two days"

"I gave it to her, but she chose not to eat it. Can I be blamed"

The old woman said somewhat nervously.

But Qiao Er knew his mother's character, and said fiercely:

"Open the lock, if my son gets into trouble, I'll kill you old bastard!"

The old woman, upon hearing her son's words, trembled and immediately reached up from her neck to retrieve a key. Then, she opened the iron shackles that bound Ripple's ankles.

Liàn Yī felt herself being picked up and placed on the bed, but she still didn't open her eyes. Her breathing was slow and shallow, as if she could stop at any moment.

About a quarter of an hour later, the sound of two people's footsteps entered the house.

Then came Lao Er Qiao's polite voice:

"Fifth Uncle, please take a look. She's pregnant! Don't let my child get into any trouble."

"Uh, I see."

The man, known as Fifth Uncle, walked over, pulled open Lianyi's eyelids and took a look, then touched her carotid artery, and finally, with a flourish, pretended to feel her pulse before speaking:

"Nephew, your wife is malnourished. She's too weak now, so the baby is also weak. If she can't eat, the baby won't grow in her belly. You have to take good care of her, otherwise, you might lose the baby."

"Fifth Uncle, do you not need to take medicine"

"No, just make sure she eats well, drinks well, and sleeps well. Medicine is harmful, it will hurt the child."

"Uncle Wu, I understand. But why aren't people awake yet"

"Feed her some chicken soup, she'll open her eyes when she has the strength."

"Okay, I understand."

The man known as Fifth Uncle then turned and left, still muttering "What a sin!"

After everyone left, Lian Yi felt a gust of wind, then the old woman’s screams.

“You old bastard, you dare to starve my son I brought back so many supplements, did they all go into your old belly If anything happens to my son, I'll kill you!”

Old Joe beat and kicked the old woman. The youngest sister tried to intervene, but she also got slapped twice and could only retreat back into her own house.

"Ouch! Ouch!" cries reached Ripples' ears, sounding beautiful to her.

"What are you howling about Get to work making chicken soup, or if my son dies, you'll be buried with him."

Joe the Second said viciously.

He didn't care about this woman's life or death, what he cared about was the child in her belly. After all, he had been with so many women, and only this one was pregnant.

"Come out here, little sister! Get her cleaned up and changed. Be careful not to hurt my son."

The younger sister, hiding away, heard her elder brother's shout and reluctantly responded with a sound before leaving the house.

Then Lian Yi closed her eyes and was served, only because she hadn't been cleaned for a long time. Yao Mei, tired from the work, pinched Lian Yi's chest in dissatisfaction. Lian Yi then opened her eyes.

When Yao Mei met those crystal-clear eyes, she was startled and deliberately said in a loud voice:

"You finally stopped pretending! Second brother! This woman is awake!"

Ripple glanced at the other person and then closed her eyes. When she opened them again, they were filled with panic and fear, and she spoke in a weak voice:

"Stop hitting my stomach, please! I won't eat those supplements."

Just then, Qiao Lao Er, who had entered the room, heard this. He hurried to the bedside in three steps and two steps, and Lian Yi pretended to be startled, immediately clutching her stomach and shrinking inward.

"Did you just say my sister hit your belly"

Joe the Second's eyes narrowed.

Ripples nodded hesitantly, then shook her head.

Joe the second immediately jumped in, pulling off the thin blanket from Lian Yi's body, revealing her belly.was the servants in the house who were being unreasonable."Before I die, they've already started looking for an escape route. How do you want me to deal with them"This old slave will go do it right aw...
