Even Guan Chibei nodded slightly when he ate it. He said that he would enter the mountains to find wild duck eggs again. The Guan family was stunned when they heard this. Why did they feel like there were many wild duck eggs in the mountains waiting for Chibei to pick them up?
Although Ye Lulu’s body was fine, she was in a painful situation then after giving birth to the three children. As such, she still carefully entered the house and stayed there. She planned to recuperate for another month before coming out to walk around.
Her body’s foundation was still weak. She had to recuperate completely.
It was not a complete confinement period, but she tried not to get out of bed so that she could avoid catching a cold.
However, while Ye Lulu was resting at home, a young woman from the village came knocking on the door.
This woman was the third daughter-in-law of the Meng family who lived near the village entrance. She was Madam Meng-Li, and she was very young. She was just over twenty years old this year. She was the new daughter-in-law who had been married to the third son of the Meng family for less than two years. She was pregnant within a year after getting married. It was said that she had recently given birth to a chubby son who weighed six catties.
The Meng family was also very poor. It was similar to the Li family, which was Madam Meng-Li’s own family. They were only slightly better than the Li family.
Madam Meng-Li had nothing to do with the Guan family. The Meng family and the Li family had never interacted with the Guan family, so they were not related at all.
However, on this day, Madam Meng-Li went straight to Ye Lulu’s house.
The problem was that she had just given birth less than ten days ago. She was still in confinement, but she had already started walking around and came to the Guan family’s house.
The most surprising thing was that Madam Meng-Li was actually carrying her newborn child.
At that time, only Father Guan and Guan Chibei were at home. Guan Chibei went to the backyard to do work while Father Guan carved out wooden bowls and plates in the front courtyard. When Madam Meng-Li walked in, Father Guan was stunned for a moment. He did not know what she wanted to do. Madam Meng-Li only said that she was looking for Ye Lulu.
Madam Meng-Li was also a woman. Father Guan was stunned for a moment before letting her in.
Ye Lulu was half sitting up on the bed with the three babies. She had just finished feeding the babies and there was still the smell of milk in the house.
Madam Meng-Li walked in. Ye Lulu looked up in surprise and asked her, “You are?”
Madam Meng-Li’s looks were average. She was very small and skinny. She indeed looked very young, and her face was sharp. She carried her child and introduced herself to Ye Lulu. “I’m the third daughter-in-law of the Meng family, Madam Meng-Li.”
Ye Lulu didn’t know why she had suddenly come looking for her. They didn’t know each other before, so she nodded in confusion. She was about to ask her why she was looking for her when Madam Meng-Li carried her child and sat on Ye Lulu’s and the three babies’ bed without asking.
Ye Lulu was shocked.
Madam Meng-Li brought her son to the bed and reached out to take the small mattress beside Ye Lulu. She moved it to the end of the bed and left an empty space for herself.
Following that, Madam Meng-Li lay down. Then, she naturally removed the thin towel wrapped around her head and covered her body. She also placed the chubby son in her arms on the bed where the babies were.
Ye Lulu was speechless.
Madam Meng-Li placed a newborn child on Ye Lulu’s bed and looked up at Ye Lulu. “My family’s Niu Wa doesn’t have a thin cotton swaddling cloth yet. Bring one over and wrap him up like he’s your son.”
After finishing this series of actions, Madam Meng-Li spoke again. Ye Lulu finally sat up straight and looked at Madam Meng-Li in the eye. “What are you doing?”
“I just gave birth too. This is my newborn son. His nickname is Niu Wa,” Madam Meng-Li said.
