Madam Meng-Li immediately pulled over the blanket that was half-covering Ye Lulu and covered her body with it. She said to Ye Lulu, "Since you're in confinement, I'm also in confinement, both of us are women who have just given birth. I've decided to come to your house and go through confinement with you so that my family doesn't have to waste time on confinement. You have three children at home, so I brought my Niu Wa over so that he can be raised together with your children. In the future, whatever your children eat and use, you can just prepare another portion for my Niu Wa. That way, you don't have to spend too much effort."
Madam Meng-Li finished speaking at once.
A click sounded in Ye Lulu's mind, and she seemed to suspect what she had just heard.
She looked at Madam Meng-Li, who had been acting as if everything was normal from the beginning to the end. She paused for a moment before reaching out and pulling her blanket back. Ye Lulu was so angry that she laughed. She couldn't imagine such a strange thing.
"What did you say?"
"Why are you pulling over the blanket?! I don't have a blanket to cover myself with. You have to cover me with half of it. I just gave birth eight days ago and walked over. I'm cold!" Madam Meng-Li also raised her voice and glared at Ye Lulu unhappily. She reached out and wanted to pull the blanket again.
"I asked you what you said just now. What are you doing now?" Ye Lulu's expression became stiffer.
"Are you deaf? Can't you hear what I just said?" Madam Meng-Li said, "I said that I came over with my Niu Wa to go through confinement with you. Since we're at your house for confinement, your family can naturally raise Niu Wa and your children together."
Madam Meng-Li straightened her clothes and said, "It's more convenient for me to come over and go through confinement with you. In any case, we've just given birth, right? Your children can also be raised together with Niu Wa. Isn't this very suitable?"
"I'm thin and weak. There's not enough milk. You must have a lot of milk, right? When feeding the children, help me feed Niu Wa as well. My family's Niu Wa is unlike your three children, who are big-sized and drink a lot of milk. It just so happens that you can give some to Niu Wa."
"When the time comes, if Niu Wa pees or cries, your Guan family has more people, so they should help me coax him when there's time. My Niu Wa has a bad temper. He has to be carried around. Also, your three children have to change their diapers, right? Help me change for my Niu Wa as well. In any case, it's all a 'by the way'. Your Guan family has quite a few women taking care of you. They should be very agile in their work."
"Since I'm going through confinement at your house with you and your three children have a small blanket each covering them, remember to give my Niu Wa a small blanket as well. My Niu Wa is younger than your three children and needs to be raised well. Also, my Niu Wa will eat whatever your three children eat… However, we can't feed him anything but milk for now."
"I haven't fed my Niu Wa today. If you want to give the children milk later, don't forget to feed my Niu Wa."
Madam Meng-Li finished speaking in one go and seemed to be tired from talking. She looked down and tried to pull the blanket over her again, saying, "Give me some of the blanket. My blanket at home isn't thick enough. I'd already been feeling a little cold during my confinement period these few days. I can't catch a cold anymore."
After Ye Lulu heard this, she felt like she was in a trance. She even wondered if she was abnormal or if this woman was abnormal.
This kind of thing actually happened.
It was just damn weird.
Ye Lulu stabilized her breathing and said to Madam Meng-Li, "Who promised you to come to my house to go through confinement with me? Who promised you?"
