Chapter 7 Miss is So Unruly
The arrival of the newborns brought joy and dispersed some of the gloom that had befallen the Qin family during the great changes.
Qin Grandma looked at the pair of grandchildren with joy in her eyes, but also with some worry as tears rolled down her cheeks.
If only this pair of twins were born a year earlier, that would be much better. These premature septuplets are so weak and frail, it’s uncertain if they can survive.
“Mother, you are exhausted from a day and night’s work. Please go rest, let the daughters-in-law handle things here,” Wang Shi comforted softly.
Qin Grandma nodded and said, “Get someone to fetch two wet nurses.”
Not only were these twins premature, but their birth was also difficult. Giving birth to them had already taken a toll on Qushi’s health. It’s not advisable for her to breastfeed, so wet nurses had to be hired.
Before Wang Shi could speak, Xie Shi spoke out first, “Mother, where do we get the money to hire two wet nurses?”
With the sudden looting of their family and the deliberate suppression from the Guifei’s family, they didn’t even have anything valuable left, let alone enough money to hire two wet nurses.
“Can’t we afford the monthly salary for two wet nurses even after all the losses?” Qin Grandma said with a cold face.
Xie Shi dared not provoke her, so she suggested, “Mother, in that case, let’s buy more maidservants instead. There are only three people in our household, including us who came along. How can we manage such a big family with so many people, big and small?”
In this old house, there were only a few servants coming and going.
Qin Grandma was enraged, this fool. Did she still think the Qin family is the same as before, with servants surrounding them, making it beautiful for her?
“Go and hire two wet nurses first,” Qin Grandma didn’t want to argue with this fool. She turned to her eldest daughter-in-law and instructed, “These two children were born premature and need careful care. Make sure to hire good wet nurses. Also, you and your third sister-in-law, make sure to complete the confinement period.”
“Yes.”
“Xi Yaotou…”
Qin Grandma only opened her mouth, but when she looked around, she found Qin Liu Xi had already left. She couldn’t help but be stunned.
Qihuang had already taken care of Gu Shi properly with the help of the midwife. Seeing this, she said, “My lady has been through a lot last night. Please rest, and please also go rest, Grandma.”
Qin Grandma: “!.”
Xie Shi snorted softly, “Even when the elders are still here, and they’ve been through a whole night, she didn’t even say a word and left, so unruly!”
Qihuang replied calmly, “My lady spent the whole night giving Third Madam a needle and massage. It took a lot of effort and energy, and her physical condition is not very good. This little matter shouldn’t be a problem for Third Madam.” After all, the reason why Miss stayed in the old house in the first place was because of this.
“You!” Xie Shi was furious, her servant girl’s tongue was sharp.
Qihuang bowed to Qin Grandma and said, “Grandma, I still need to prepare the medicine for Third Madam according to Miss’s instructions. I’ll take my leave.”
Qin Grandma tiredly waved her hand.
Qihuang left with the midwife, but the scolding from Qin Grandma to Xie Shi could already be heard from inside the room. Qin Grandma couldn’t help but snort.
“Mother, don’t be angry, take care of yourself. Second sister-in-law, quickly apologize to mother and then accompany her to rest,” Wang Shi was extremely dissatisfied with her second sister-in-law. Why is she causing trouble at this time? She doesn’t mind being tired, but she is already exhausted herself.
Xie Shi could only stop and apologize with a few words before helping Qin Grandma out. However, after taking a step, Qin Grandma’s body went limp and she collapsed to the ground.
“Mother!”
