Abandoned Woman Busy Farming

Bai Ruozhu looked apologetic, took a step forward, and stood in front of Ji Wenpo again. Ji Wenpo reached out to touch her belly again. She couldn't say she was gentle and careful, but her movements were not rough either.

Ji Wenpo fumbled for a long time, then nodded and said, "The baby is in the right fetal position and is being raised quite well. From my experience, it's a boy. It's not too big. It's probably a good birth."

Bai Ruozhu is studying medicine, so she naturally knows how to arrange nutrition and keep herself exercising. She will not be like a woman who raises her child to be extra large, which increases the risk to mother and child during childbirth.

Lin Ping'er's face lit up when she heard this, and she asked excitedly: "Is it really a boy?"

Ji Wenpo rolled her eyes at her, as if looking at an idiot and said, "Nine times out of ten."

Lin Ping'er excitedly took Bai Ruozhu's hand and said, "Ruozhu, did you hear, it's a boy, it's a boy!"

Bai Ruozhu broke into a cold sweat after hearing this. She patted her mother's hand and said, "Mom, don't be so excited. Boys and girls are not the same."

I have to admit that people at this time were still very patriarchal, and there were not many families like the Bai family who loved their daughters. Although Lin Ping'er loved her daughter, it could not change the deep-rooted concept of favoring boys over girls in her heart.

Ji Wenpo had always had a cold face. After hearing this, she suddenly raised her head and looked at Bai Ruozhu. She found that Bai Ruozhu's expression was calm and not as excited as an ordinary woman would when she heard it was a boy. She couldn't help but look at her twice more. I noticed that Bai Ruozhu had an excellent appearance and had a temperament that women from farmers' families didn't have.

"Are you from Bai Xiucai's family in Houshan Village?" Ji Wenpo remembered that her grandson had reported their origins before.

Lin Ping'er calmed down and nodded hurriedly: "Exactly, I am the second son of Bai Xiucai, and my daughter is raising a son-in-law, so she will be with us during the birth." She was afraid that Po Ji Wen would think too much. , hurriedly explained that usually the mother-in-law brings her daughter-in-law to Ji Wenpo, and it is rare to see her mother-in-law bring her along.

It's not that the mother doesn't love her daughter at this time, it's just that the married daughter throws away the water. The mother's family has too much control, which is against the rules and can easily make her husband's family unhappy.

After Ji Wenpo heard this, she couldn't help but look at Lin Ping'er again, and said with some emotion: "You really care about your daughter."

Lin Ping'er laughed and said, "I only have a daughter, and I can't bear to part with her. My daughter should be giving birth soon. Can you please deliver her?"

Ji Wenpo counted the days and said, "Okay." She was willing to have more contact with such a family. Maybe the girl from the Bai family might also become a scholar in the future, and she, the midwife, would also benefit from it.

Lin Ping'er became excited again and saluted Ji Wenpo, "That's great, thank you."

Bai Ruozhu also bowed and thanked her. This contact made her feel that Ji Wenpo's reputation was not in vain. Her technique of touching the fetal position was very professional. In addition, she said it was about a baby boy. Bai Ruozhu actually felt something about it herself. But after all, she had less contact with pregnant women when she was studying medicine, so she didn't dare to confirm it casually.

"Okay, don't be polite to me. You can go back and have the money ready." Ji Wenpo looked businesslike.

Bai Ruozhu felt that this directly indicated that she wanted to get along better with her. She followed her mother and saluted Ji Wenpo again, and then left Ji's house.

On the way back, Lin Ping'er excitedly babbled a dozen times, saying that God was wise and it was great that Ruozhu was pregnant with a boy.

When Bai Ruozhu saw her mother like this, she really didn't know whether to laugh or cry. When the two of them arrived at home, Lin Ping'er rushed into the main room briskly and told the other members of the family what Ji Wenpo said. Then the Bai family was full of joy. Bai Ruozhu She continued to laugh and cry, but she also knew very well that although her family liked boys, even if she was pregnant with a girl, her family would still love the child equally.

Because his body is getting heavier and heavier, Bai Ruozhu has no time to think about making money. Anyway, the family has enough money for the time being, and the eldest brother's marriage has also been decided. The Bai family and the Wang family have chosen an auspicious day, and after the autumn harvest Just let Wang Caiyue come in.

There was news from Du Zhongshu that the sales of toothpaste were not bad, and Bai Ruozhu's method was very effective. She felt that getting dividends every month could ensure food and clothing.

A few days later, on the fifth day of the lunar month, Bai Ruozhu and Du Zhongshu agreed to reconcile the accounts and collect bonuses. Accompanied by her eldest brother, she went to town again.

Bai Ruozhu briefly looked at the bill. After all, the toothpaste had just been sold, and it was impossible to achieve huge sales at once. Her dividend this month was only a dozen taels of silver, but even this made Bai Zehao very excited.

A dozen taels of silver is enough to feed the farmer's family for several months.

"There are a lot of gifts this month, plus the publicity expenses of hiring people, the cost is a bit high, so the income is not very good, but I think there will definitely be a lot of growth next month." Du Zhongshu explained to Bai Ruozhu Said, he was a little worried that Bai Ruozhu felt that the dividend of more than ten taels of silver was too little.

Bai Ruozhu saw Du Zhongshu's thoughts and said with a smile: "Everything is difficult at the beginning. Such a start is already very good. It shows that you and Shopkeeper Zhou are doing a good job. If it were anyone else, maybe they would be there in the first few months." It’s a loss.”

Du Zhongshu was very happy to be praised by Bai Ruozhu. This was the first time he had done something seriously in addition to the tasks arranged by the family, and he also experienced the sense of accomplishment. However, he found that the previous sense of accomplishment was not in vain. Ruozhu's words of praise made him excited.

"It was also your idea that came up well." Du Zhongshu said a few words in an embarrassed and modest tone.

Bai Ruozhu took the money and was about to leave. She thought for a while and said, "I'm probably going to give birth soon, and I'll be in confinement later. I won't be able to come on the fifth day of the lunar month next month. You can ask Zhou Fu to give me the dividends then." That’s it.”

Du Zhongshu nodded hurriedly, "Okay, this is what it should be. You should also pay more attention to your health. I wish you a big fat boy."

When mentioning this matter, Bai Zehao said with some excitement: "Our most famous Wenpo has been shown to Ruozhu, and he said that it is most likely a boy."

Du Zhongshu laughed after hearing this, "Then I really have to congratulate you in advance. If you need anything then, just ask me and don't be polite to me."

"Okay, thank you in advance." Bai Ruozhu saluted Du Zhongshu and left the town with her eldest brother.

The two took the bullock cart back to Houshan Village. After entering the village, they were walking home when they saw the Zhu family's mother-in-law sending someone out not far away. Bai Ruozhu paused at his feet. How could it be her?

That person was Po Ji Wen, whom Bai Ruozhu and her mother had just visited not long ago!

Mrs. Zhu's mother-in-law looked very familiar with Po Ji Wen. Not only did she send her to the door of her house, but they also walked towards the village entrance together, talking and laughing. Maybe Bai Ruozhu was looking too directly, and Mrs. Zhu noticed it. She turned around and saw Bai Ruozhu, with a proud smile suddenly on her face...
