Chapter 338: To Be a Mother is to Be Strong

he maidservants attending to them.While helping her husband change into his ordinary clothes, Wu Dafu's wife told him everything that had happened.She was afraid her husband wouldn't believe her, so s...Tao Hongying hurriedly cleared out the guest room for Lao San's family. Li Laosi, with his great strength, no longer cared about propriety and rushed in with Huiniang in his arms.

The old woman and Dongmei hurried inside to attend to him, Jia Yin hugged the lord's neck, her face also turned pale with fright.

Just now, everyone was so caught up in the argument that no one noticed anything was wrong with Huiniang.

The village women were busy boiling water and tidying up the flower pots by their porch doors.

As a result, Wu Sanniang rushed out of the kitchen and shouted angrily, "Which lazy animal smashed the pot, even breaking it so badly that we can't boil water. Quickly, go get two more pots back!"

Immediately, villagers ran home, bumping into the curious onlookers at the doorstep. They all watched with sympathy.

“Oh dear, two babies in there That’s three lives!”

"That's right, the Yan family is considered a scholarly household, yet they act so wickedly! This involves human lives!"

Should we report this to the authorities

Hearing the discussion, the Yan family members felt guilty and slowly retreated towards the door.

Li Yong listened to the cries of Huiniang from inside the room, the old master's furious scolding, and seeing everyone in a panic, he slowly stood up and walked toward the courtyard door.

Mr. Yan Er instinctively stopped him, "Third brother, where are you going There must have been a misunderstanding just now. Besides, you can't hold a grudge against the family because of one daughter! This is extremely unfilial!"

Li Yong turned around and slapped him, sending him crashing to the ground.

"You goddamn unfilial bastard! Today, I'm through with being filial! My wife is dying, my child is dying! And you still lecture me about filial piety! Fine, I'll go to the palace gates and drum up a complaint, dragging all of you to hell even if I die! You want me to be filial I'll be filial to you in hell!"

Old Master Yan was so angry he wanted to curse, but when he met his son's eyes filled with hatred, he suddenly shuddered, as if he had been kicked off a cliff, his heart hollow.

It's over, my son has been driven mad.

If the complaint fails, his son might also kill his whole family to avenge his wife and children!

He subconsciously reached out and pulled his son closer, saying, "You can't do this, you can't ruin the Yan family! Branch off, let's branch off! Immediately separate you from the Yan family! No one will interfere with your marriage again!"

Before Li Yong could respond, Madam Yan struggled forward and shouted loudly, "No, we can't split the family!"

Elder Madam Yan was furious, pushing her roughly aside and scolding, "Fool! You're incompetent at doing things right, but you excel at causing trouble! You came to pick someone up, why didn't you do it properly Now you've almost caused a death. Are you going to ruin the family name by ignoring our blood ties"

Madam Yan was still about to speak, but Master Yan elder covered her mouth. "Mother, say less, the third brother is going crazy!"

The elderly Patriarch Yen, rarely so resolute, demanded paper and ink, and immediately wrote a document for the division of the household, signing and sealing it with his personal stamp.

Master Yan and Second Master were also the same, then they gave the document to Li Yong.

Li Yong clutched the document, tears streaming down his face. If he had been more ruthless back then, if he had divided the family property, perhaps there wouldn't be this situation today.

He rushed to the window of the side room and called out, "Hui'niang, look! I got the document! We're separated now, they can't touch us anymore! Hui'niang! Hui'niang!"

In the house, Huiniang bit her handkerchief, her head and face covered in sweat and tears, her hair stuck to her cheeks, on the verge of fainting.

Hearing this, her eyes finally flickered with a glimmer of light.

Zhang Shenyi took a pill, dissolved it in water in a bowl, and brought it to Huiniang's side, whispering, "You really are ruthless, girl. You even gambled your child! Bleeding for so long without making a sound, waiting until Da Yong went crazy before coming out!"

“He’s made up his mind to leave the Yan family, and you won’t live long either! Drink the medicine quickly. It will temporarily give you some energy, so you can give birth to the child quickly. Be careful, if you delay any longer, the child will be born with intellectual disabilities!”

Huiniang swallowed the medicine, finishing it in one gulp. Then she looked at Li Lao Tai and Tao Hongying and Dongmei. The three of them were all shocked.

She gasped for breath with a wry smile, "Auntie, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to... hide this from you! As long as my husband doesn't turn cruel, as long as he still bears the surname Yan, my child and I will never have a good life! I can endure for my husband, but my child can't! He can't!"

"Okay, okay, don't say anything, we understand!"

Old Li wiped her tears and stepped forward to take her hand, “Daughter-in-law, for the sake of your child, you have to be ruthless! The Yan family is a place that eats people. Dazhuang is too soft-hearted, what if he gets fooled back someday Then you and your child will have a hard time!”

"Auntie, I'm sorry, I'm sorry to the family, for causing you trouble!"

"Lady Hu's stomach began to ache again, she cried out in pain and gripped the old woman's hand tightly. 'Auntie, if I live, I will repay the Li family for life! If I die, then in my next life!' "

"Don't give up, honey! The baby is waiting for you to fight! Give it your all and bring the baby into the world safely!"

The old woman also had tears streaming down her face, gritting her teeth to encourage Huiniang!

"If something were to happen to you, child, after the baby is born, you'll have to live under your stepmother's control and be beaten and scolded by her! You have to live, you must live! You are their biological mother, their only support!"

Huiniang was in so much pain that her vision turned black, she couldn't even cry out.

Zhang Shenyi was supposed to leave, after all, even though he was older, he was still a man!

But at this time, he couldn't care less. He quickly grabbed his golden needles and jabbed them into Huiniang's body several times!

Outside the window, Li Yong knelt on the ground, his head pressed against the wall, crying until he was almost unconscious.

"Huiniang, Huiniang!" he called out again and again, his voice choked with tears.

Inside and outside the courtyard, no one spoke at this moment, nor did they know what to say.

The women, overcome with emotion, wiped away their tears. The men, too, had tears welling up in their eyes.

The Yan family was also on tenterhooks, truly a case of one corpse and three lives. Even if the Yan family split up, they would definitely not have a good ending.

Jia Yin hugged her adoptive father's neck, tears streaming down her face like a river.

"Oh, woe is me! The master has sewn so many clothes and blankets, all waiting for the baby's birth. Oh, woe is me! What will happen if the master dies"

The lord gently patted her back and looked at the Yan family with eyes as cold as ice.

"Little Fu, don't cry. Good people have their own blessings. Your master will surely be fine!"

Perhaps it was a coincidence, but the moment his voice fell, a child's cry suddenly rang out from the adjoining room, "Woo-hoo, woo-hoo!"

Everyone was stunned into silence, then erupted in cheers. "Oh my gosh, it's a baby! It's a baby!"

"Quiet, quiet, there's one more!" The village head stood under the steps of the pavilion, palms clasped together, muttering incessantly, he had prayed to all the gods and Buddhas!

The bystanders also chimed in and begged along.

No matter if it's useful or not, this is all we can do right now.

Fortunately, a second cry rang out inside the house shortly after, though it was weak, it was still distinctly audible.

After a while, Tao Hongying came out and announced to everyone, “Huiniang gave birth to twins! The elder one is a boy, and the younger one is a girl.”

Li Yong couldn't hold back any longer and strode inside.

"Thank goodness, thank goodness!"

"Great, great!"

Everyone was cheering, hugging each other in celebration, for two new lives, and for saving a family!

The Yan family let out a collective sigh of relief. Old Master Yan hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward and bowed to the Marquis respectfully.

"My lord, since matters have now been resolved, I implore you to release the prisoner. We shall take our leave at once."

The Marquis, having embraced Jiayin, rose to his feet, his eyes filled with ruthlessness.

"Well then, the matters of your Yan family are settled. Now, we should settle accounts between your Yan family and our Li family!"ch other, both craning their necks, swallowing all their questions and surprise along with their saliva. 。Li Laoer wasn't wrong. Such a big secret, if spread out, would definitely shake the court and...
