Taohua said to Mrs. Qin at this moment, "Mom, come here, I need to talk to you."
Mrs. Qin walked over, and Taohua whispered in her ear, "I think it’s true, I almost forgot, I haven’t had a period for nearly two months."
Mrs. Qin was now completely convinced, beaming at Yun Jiao, "Yun Jiao, thank you so much. I’ll thank you properly when I have time."
Yun Jiao smiled, "She just didn’t eat enough in the morning, has a bit of low blood sugar, and after squatting for a long time and standing up quickly, there’s insufficient blood flow to the brain. Pay attention later, and she’ll be fine."
"Be careful in the first three months, and it’s best not to—" Yun Jiao, who had been a virgin maiden for two lifetimes, was too shy to continue.
Mrs. Qin, understanding, laughed and said, "Alright, I know, I’ve given birth to three, I’m aware, I’ll remind them later."
Taohua, supported by her husband, shyly said to Yun Jiao, "Yun Jiao, thank you."
Yun Jiao waved her hand, "You should rest now, when you get home, it’s best to drink a bowl of sugar water."
Zhang Dalang helped Taohua back home. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵•𝑓𝑖𝑟𝑒•𝙣𝙚𝙩
The women and children of the Jiang Family, who had been watching, also returned to the fields to continue their work.
After finishing for the day and returning home, the family was preparing to eat in the main room. Mrs. Qin brought over a basket of twenty eggs as thanks to Yun Jiao for diagnosing Taohua’s pregnancy.
Yun Jiao stood up, "Aunt Qin, please take them back, it’s really not necessary for such a small matter."
Mrs. Chen also said from the side, "It’s really unnecessary, we are neighbors, you’re too formal."
At this time, Mrs. Zhou, sitting above, lightly coughed, "Second son’s family, put the eggs down, get the basket ready for your sister-in-law Qin."
Yun Jiao and Mrs. Chen exchanged an awkward glance, then watched Yang take the basket inside happily, and soon came out with the empty basket.
Mrs. Qin took the basket and left with a smile.
Yang cheerfully said, "Mom, we got twenty eggs for free, let’s fry them tomorrow, it’s exhausting with the fall harvest, we should eat something good."
Mrs. Zhou spat at her, "What are you talking about? I said to save the eggs to trade for money."
"Is this family lacking food for you to eat? Looking like a hungry ghost reborn every day!"
Yang pouted and stayed silent.
Yun Jiao kept her head down and continued eating. The rules of this era were ; without dividing the family, children weren’t allowed to save personal wealth, every earned copper coin belonged to this large family.
Therefore, Mrs. Zhou could openly take the eggs given by Aunt Qin as her own.
The Jiang Family had been busy for several days, and finally, all 30 acres of grain were harvested. After drying, half a year’s worth of food was reserved, and the rest was taken to county to pay tax by the men, and the remainder was sold.
Jiang Youzhi, heading to the county academy, also went along.
In the evening, Mr. Jiang returned home and handed the silver earned from sales to Mrs. Zhou.
Next door, Sun, the wife of Zhang Lizheng, saw the Jiang family’s men returning with their bags, and her eyes flickered.
Soon she was at the yard gate calling for Mrs. Chen.
Mrs. Chen heard the call and went out, Sun smiled amiably and said, "I have a matter to ask, some time ago, your Sanlang borrowed ten taels of silver from our family for exams, when will you return it?"
Sun continued with a smile, "I wouldn’t rush you, but my youngest son is also getting ready to talk marriage now. We’ve entrusted Matchmaker Qian to find someone, and once a match is made, we’re just waiting for the silver to proceed with the betrothal."
