A husband found in the village? I bought a regent for a penny!

Chapter 407 Becoming a Godmother

The old doctor nodded, "Besides eating well, drinking well, and sleeping well, you shouldn't overwork yourself."

Brother Qin was overjoyed to find that there was still a chance.

"I told you you can't overwork yourself!"

“Since we started the orchard, you’ve devoted yourself entirely to it, working on medicinal herbs and tending to the fruit trees. You haven’t had a single day off. You’ve really worn yourself out. From now on, you’re not allowed to do any of these things. Just stay home and rest.”

These words immediately created an awkward atmosphere in the room.

Because Gu Xixi was the one who spearheaded the establishment of the orchard.

Sister-in-law Qin was taken aback.

She was both ashamed and angry, her face flushed as she glared at her husband. "What does my poor health have to do with the fruit trees in the orchard?"

"Before we started the orchard, those two kids still didn't survive!"

"Besides, what kind of life did we live before? What kind of life do we live now?"

"You count the money you make from selling medicinal herbs at night, and you're still happily saying it's all thanks to the orchard and Xixi!"

"Now that you're in front of people, if you can't speak human language, get out of here!"

Brother Qin then realized that he had acted impulsively and that his words were ill-considered.

Seeing his wife so angry, he felt both regret and heartache.

"It was my fault, I shouldn't have talked nonsense! Please don't get angry, be careful not to upset the baby."

Aunt Zhang came to her senses and smiled as she advised, "Good child, don't be angry with him."

"Dogwa's dad was just worried about you and your daughter, he was too anxious."

Sister-in-law Qin looked at Gu Xixi and Aunt Zhang with apologetic eyes, "Auntie, you don't need to speak well of him."

"We are sorry for what happened today."

"Xixi treats people with sincerity, yet she hears such ungrateful words."

"If it were someone with my temper, I probably would have kicked them out on the spot and never had anything to do with them again!"

She paused, then said earnestly, "But I'm making this clear today."

"Regardless of what he was thinking, I was determined to plant fruit trees."

“I cherish that orchard. I have no regrets today, and I will never regret it in the future.”

“I am unwell and sick, which has nothing to do with the orchard.”

"I just hope you won't feel uncomfortable because of Gouwa's dad's foul mouth."

Gu Xixi looked at Sister-in-law Qin and said earnestly, "Don't worry."

"We've known each other for a while now, how could I not understand you?"

Brother Qin was filled with remorse at this moment, and he pulled his wife aside and apologized repeatedly, saying, "Don't you know what kind of person I am?"

"I'm a bit dim-witted and I'm bad at talking."

"Our family is able to live a good life thanks to you managing everything inside and outside the home."

"I also cherish the orchard; I just said it without thinking."

"I know I was wrong, you can hit me or scold me, it's all fine!"

Sister-in-law Qin kept a straight face and wouldn't look at him. "Don't touch me! Why are you saying these things to me!"

Brother Qin snapped out of his daze and hurriedly turned to Gu Xixi, bowing and apologizing.

"I'm so sorry, little sister!"

"It was my fault! I shouldn't have brought up unrelated things!"

"Please don't let my foolishness affect your sisterly bond!"

He did not try to justify himself or make excuses; his attitude in admitting his mistake was quite sincere.

Gu Xixi wasn't angry, so she went along with it and said, "You're too kind."

“I understand that you care about your sister-in-law and want her to do less work and rest more.”

Brother Qin was indeed, as he himself said, an honest man with no guile.

Gu Xixi's forgiveness relieved him greatly, as if he had been given a second chance at life, and he expressed his gratitude even more sincerely.

“The child’s mother told me that you were the one who suggested to her this afternoon that we find the old doctor to take a look.”

"Now it seems that if it weren't for your timely reminder, little sister..."

“Not only will this child be lost, but my wife will also suffer and become ill.”

Brother Qin took his wife's hand, and this time Sister-in-law Qin finally didn't shake him off.

“The young woman is a benefactor to our family, and she even saved this child’s life.”

"I plan to have my older sister become his godmother as soon as he is born!"

What do you think, my wife?

Sister-in-law Qin nodded with a smile, her eyes full of happiness.

Gu Xixi: ? ? ?

Become a godmother?

Gu Xixi, who has never been a mother in both her lives, is at a loss.

Later, the old doctor prescribed three days' worth of medicine for Sister-in-law Qin.

The doctor's advice stated, "You are in good health and there are no signs of miscarriage at the moment."

"There is no need for bed rest; on the contrary, appropriate movement is beneficial to both the woman and the fetus."

"As long as you take your medicine on time, avoid lifting heavy objects, avoid bumping or falling, and eat well and get enough sleep every day."

"I will ensure the safety of the mother and child."

Sister-in-law Qin pinched Brother Qin's hand hard, "Did you hear that?"

"My child and I are both fine now, we're not unable to move!"

Brother Qin gasped in pain, but dared not utter a sound, only managing a forced smile.

Then I asked the old doctor many questions about caring for pregnant women.

The matter was ultimately resolved satisfactorily in a way that Gu Xixi never expected.

After seeing the guests off, Lü Jing cupped her hands in greeting to Gu Xixi, "Congratulations, godmother of the child!"

The whole family laughed.

An Qinghe said, "Old Qin's mouth is so sharp; he can offend people without even realizing it."

"No wonder his wife dislikes him."

"But I can vouch for him, he really doesn't have any bad intentions."

Aunt Zhang shook her head and sighed, "You know how smart Gouwa is."

Stone squatted under the eaves, stroking Little Flower's fur, and then looked up at her earnestly and said:

"Dogwa said it himself, he took after his mother."

Even his father thought so.

Children speak without restraint, and everyone couldn't help but burst into laughter again.

Sure enough, the old doctor prepared the antidote in just three days.

It was placed in a small gourd-shaped bottle, along with two other bottles of pills, and given to Gu Xixi.

"Why is that kid always getting assassinated? He's not even here anymore, and he's still causing me trouble!"

“I made him two more bottles of antidote pills; tell him to carry them with him at all times.”

"In case something goes wrong, taking this medicine will buy some time to find a doctor to save my life!"

Gu Xixi said with a smile, "Even though Master complains a lot, he still cares about whether he lives or dies."

The old doctor, puffing out his beard, said, "I'm just concerned about my apprentice."

“If he dies out there and never comes back, my only disciple will be heartbroken.”

"Master!" Gu Xixi said reproachfully.

The old doctor turned and walked away. "Also, tell him that I've put the cost of the medicinal herbs on his tab."

"These are all good medicines! They're not cheap!"

Gu Xixi walked out of the village alone, found a secluded spot, and took out a whistle.

The whistle is made of white jade, smooth all over, and without any patterns or markings.

However, it was a token given to Gu Xixi by Mu Nanzhao.

It can be used to control the secret guards left behind by Mu Nanzhao in the Northwest.

Different whistle sounds represent different signals.

Gu Xixi blew the non-emergency call signal.

A package containing medicine and a letter was sent to the capital overnight...

On the same day that Anqing returned to Yunling, foliar fertilizer was also sprayed on the wheat fields in Huachidu Village.

Indeed, more than a dozen families in the village did not buy fertilizer.

I've heard that those who bought fertilizer and those who didn't secretly dislike each other.

Disagreements have led to arguments between some people.

Gu Xixi deliberately avoided trouble and went to the farm that day.

Just then, the fruit on the farm should be ripe.
