Chapter 99: Children

Su Qingmei was terrified after hearing this, her stomach tightened, and the child was born soon. Read

After giving birth, she held on and did not fall asleep. She did not even check whether the child was a boy or a girl. As soon as Su Qingliu, Aunt Zhou and others packed up and carried the baby back to the room, she called Liu Juye to question him.

Liu Juye could not enter the room, so he quietly passed the words to Su Qingliu. Su Qingliu whispered Liu Juye's original words to her while no one was in the room with trembling lips.

"Master Ma and his disciples robbed the county government's official silver, confiscated the weapons in the county government's armory, and emptied the county magistrate's private warehouse and fled... Now the county magistrate has reported to the Guangning government office, and the judge personally led the government soldiers to Fengting Town..."

Su Qingmei's head was buzzing after hearing this, and waves of pain came from her body, and she felt numb.

When she came to her senses, she pushed Su Qingliu and said, "Sister, go to Yangwei Martial Arts Hall and have a look!"

"Okay, I'll go right away. Don't worry, I'll go right away, maybe I'm wrong." Su Qingliu trembled as she pieced together a sentence, and then she went out with her hands and feet together.

Su Qingmei refused to fall asleep with her head full of wet hair, pinching her thigh flesh, anxiously waiting for Su Qingliu's news.

There were children's chirping sounds outside, the sounds of Aunt Zhou and Lu Shengcai coaxing children, and Lu Shengcai's happy laughter...

Su Qingmei didn't care, her mind was full of Liu Juye's words.

Xiao Qingxing took Yaya to see her nephew enough, and came in to tell her happily about her nephew. She only nodded and agreed, and her mind was not on the child.

Xiao Qingxing just thought she was tired, and tucked her quilt intimately for her to have a good rest, and then took Yaya out to see her nephew again.

Su Qingmei waited anxiously until she finally saw Su Qingliu coming back.

Su Qingliu panted: "My brother-in-law's friend went with me. When we went there, the door of Yangwei Martial Arts Hall was open. I was very happy, but when I went in, I found out that Yangwei Martial Arts Hall had been sold a few days ago. Everyone inside had left, and all the valuables had been sold. The buyer was directing the craftsmen to repair the yard..."

Su Qingmei fell on the bed after hearing this.

Why?

This was a blatant violation of the court. The county government's troops, the prefectural government's troops, and the Guangning Prefecture's garrison troops, how could they resist...

Su Qingmei couldn't help but clench her palms, remembering something, and turned her head and asked: "Where is Aunt Cui?"

"They're all gone. I went to the room where they lived and saw that all the valuables were moved out."

Su Qingmei's mind was numb, without any sign.

Since Master Ma's wife passed away, Master Ma has locked himself in his room. Su Qing'an is worried that he is too sad and will follow Master Ma's wife. How can this...

Treason against the court?

"Qing'an, I'm so scared. There are only so many of them. How dare they go against the court...Will they die?" Su Qingliu leaned close to her ear and nervously grabbed a corner of the quilt.

"Sister, go to the homes of the apprentices that Master Ma has taken in in the town and see if they are there. I guess Master Ma must have only taken away his direct disciples, so they will have even fewer people."

"Okay, I'll go and see quietly later."

"Sister, did Liu Juye say anything?"

Su Qingliu reacted: "Oh, he said he would come back and tell you as soon as he got the news. He knows you are close to Yangwei Martial Arts School, and he said someone is coming from the government, so he will definitely call you in for questioning and let you make some preparations. Qing'an, sister is so scared, do you think the government will arrest us and torture us in jail? I heard that they will all confess under torture, should we, should we escape?"

Su Qingliu started to tremble as she spoke.

Su Qingmei saw that she was shaking so badly, so she quickly pulled her hand and patted it soothingly: "Sister, don't be afraid, we are just friends with them, and we are not involved in these things. Sister, calm down and just pretend that you don't know about this."

"Okay."

Su Qingliu replied with a trembling voice, pretending to be calm, but still holding Su Qingmei.

Su Qingmei's mind was in a mess, but she couldn't hold on and fell asleep in the end.

When she woke up again, it was noon the next day.

The loud voice of the child outside came, crying so hard that it was heartbreaking.

Xiao Qingxing saw that her nephew was crying because of hunger, and she was so distressed that she ran back and forth to the room. Before, she saw that Su Qingmei didn't wake up, and she didn't have the heart to call her. Now that she woke up, she jumped for joy.

"Sister, you finally woke up! My nephew was crying because he was hungry. Mother and Aunt Zhou asked a breastfeeding sister to feed him, but he refused to eat."

Outside, Su's mother heard the sound and hurriedly walked in with the child in her arms: "Qing'an, are you awake?"

"Mother, why are you here?" Su Qing'an propped herself up.

"How could mother not come? This is your first child, and I have no experience. Your mother-in-law is not a relative. When you gave birth, she only came to take a look and never came again. Your father-in-law was holding the child happily and refused to let go, but she didn't even want to extend her hand."

Mrs. Wu pouted, expressing her dissatisfaction.

"Mom, let her be. Is it a son? Mom, bring him here for me to see."

"Hey, come and have a look, our little treasure is so handsome, he will be as handsome as his father when he grows up. Little treasure cries so loudly, all the neighbors know that the Lu family has a grandson. Your father-in-law is so happy, he hung a bow and arrow on the gate yesterday and set off firecrackers. This morning he came and held him for a long time before going to the store."

Su Qingmei took the child and held him in her arms while listening to Su's mother's chatter.

She was still crying just now, but she stopped crying when she was in Su Qingyu's arms. Her eyes were still closed, her long eyelashes were still wet with tears, her cheeks were red, and her lanugo hair was thick and soft against her scalp. The little mouth moved.

Extremely cute. Su Qingyao's heart softened.

I carefully scraped his little face with my fingertips, feeling the wonderful feeling of blood connection. My chest felt so full and my eyes were sore that I wanted to cry.

"Mom, has he eaten anything yet?"

"I only fed him some water. This morning I saw that he was very hungry, so I asked Aunt Zhou to find a woman who was still breastfeeding the child. Unexpectedly, I fed him but he refused to eat. The child was picking it up, as if he knew it was not him. Like a mother."

Su Qingyao laughed: "Then what if he is born in a rich family? Rich families don't feed their children themselves. They hire wet nurses."

"How can we compare with other wealthy families? Of course we have to feed our own children so that they can be like their own mothers."

Su Qingyu felt ashamed when she saw the child pushing directly against her chest. With the help of Mother Su, I took off my clothes and prepared to feed him...

Unexpectedly, there was no milk.

"Mom, how come I don't have one?" Su Qingyu saw that the child couldn't suck milk, she grinned and howled again, feeling a little anxious.

Mother Su gently patted him and said, "Don't rush, don't rush. It's normal to have no milk at this moment. Mom, please rub it for you. You may not be able to get through it yet."

"Knead, rub it?"

"Yeah, I'll ask Aunt Zhou to make you some breast-feeding soup later."

Su Qingnao became a mother for the first time and was in a hurry. When the child cried, her heart tightened, she felt anxious and a little at a loss.

Fortunately, by the afternoon, she got through it, and the child successfully took his first bite of food from his mother.

Mother Su looked at her grandson, who was self-taught and eating happily with his little mouth, and her heart softened: "It's time to give it a name. This morning your father-in-law also said that you should think of a good name."

Su Qingyu was stunned for a moment, touched her son's fetal hair, and said softly: "His father had already given him a name when he left."

"Oh, what's it called?"
