"Mother, what used to happen to the umbilical cords of babies born in our village and from our Yang family?"

Yang Ruqing deliberately asked the Sun family loudly.

Sun said: "According to the customs of our place, we have to put the baby's umbilical cord with them, put it in a clay pot and seal the lid, then bury it in the woods behind the village."

“Older generations say that this way, the child is easy to raise,” Sun Shi finally said.

"Milk, did you hear that? Even our elders say the same thing." Yang Ruqing said.

>

“These old folks are so contradictory! They're beating themselves up. I think you should just let your aunt handle this child herself!”

She giggled.

Tan was so angry that her teeth were grinding.

"What do you have to say about this, Yang Ruqing? This is an adult matter, stay out of it!"

"Uh?"

>Yang Ruqing widened her eyes.

Tan dared to tell her to scram? She'd definitely handle this matter of their blood connection.

Too lazy to argue with Tan, Yang Ruqing went straight to the door and shouted at the front yard: "Uncle Four, Uncle Four, come here quickly! I have something to look for you!"

>

After a moment, Yang Huaming rushed over.

"Qing'er, why did you call Fourth Uncle here?"

He asked with a smile, and when he spoke to Yang Ruqing, his attitude was warm and friendly.

Yang Ruqing pointed at Bao Suyun's house, "My mother is arguing with Fifth Aunt now, trying to get a piece of clothing from my cousin for Fourth Uncle to eat, saying it can cure Fourth Uncle's illness!"

"What?"

When Yang Huaming heard this, the smile on his face immediately disappeared.

He frowned and walked a few steps toward the door of the room, but he didn't go inside.

Right after childbirth, the air in the room is heavy with blood.

According to older generations, besides the expectant mother's husband, other men had better not go in.

It will bring bad luck and misfortune.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

A woman who has her menstrual period shall not go in.

It is said that it will take the milk of the mother.

>

Let's get back on track.

When Yang Huaming arrived at the doorway, he didn't dare to take another step forward.

He glared at the room and said unhappily, “Mother, what are you doing? Even if you bring that thing here, I won’t eat it!”

gory, used for carrying a baby, it's heartbreaking to think about.

In the room, upon hearing Yang Huaming's words, Tan Shi angrily rushed out of the house.

"You don't know anything! That thing is good stuff, hard to find!"

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

“It’s a great tonic, good for men!” Tan said in a low voice.

Yang Huaming's face was creased with worry.

"Come on, what else can I do?"

He said.

"You don't have to worry about this, mother will handle it for you. Just eat!"

Tan shook his head, looking resolute.

He turned and went back into the house to force Bao Suyun to hand over her natal jade.

Yang Huaming panicked and grabbed hold of Tan Shi.

“You brought that thing here to make it known throughout the village that my son is useless and that you enjoy being a father, don't you?”

He roared in a low, angry voice, his frustration evident.

"I'm laying down the law right now. If you keep trying to force that stuff on me, I'm leaving this house, this village, and I'm never coming back. You can act like you never had a son!"

Having said that, Yang Huaming stamped his foot and ran back to the front yard.

Here, Tan stood frozen at the doorway, unable to recover for a long time.

Finally, she sighed.

"This little brat, he has no manners!"

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Tan scolded and went back to the front yard.

Inside, Bao Suyun and Mrs. Sun both let out a sigh of relief.

Seeing Yang Ruqing come back, Bao Suyun gratefully said, “Ruqing, you've helped your aunt again…”

Here's the translation, remembering to keep the HTML tags: Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Yang Ruqing smiled and shook her head: "It's Mama Tie's request that is too much, I can't bear to see it."

Bao Suyun nodded with tears in her eyes. Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

The woman looked down at the child in her arms, who had cried herself to sleep. Her heart ached with love for him.

“This child wasn't loved from birth. I truly worry that if something ever happened to me, she would suffer greatly...”

"Tsk tsk tsk!" Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate! ?

Sun spat a few times onto the ground.

"What kind of depressing words are you saying? Don't say them anymore!" Mrs. Sun said with a serious face.

Yang Ruqing watched from the side.

Let's see the time.

Uncle Wu left after breakfast. Now, it's past four hours since sunset, and he hasn't returned.

During this period, Bao Suyun did her best to cope with the shock of her elder brother's fall.

and gave birth to a child.

She gave birth to a daughter, but she was not welcomed by her father-in-law and mother-in-law.

>At such a time, what a woman desires most is for a man to be by her side.

Care for her, cherish her, and protect her.

Postpartum depression is a very scary thing.

Thinking of this, Yang Ruqing said to Sun Shi: "Mother, I brought you some food. You eat a few bites, and I'll go pick up Fifth Uncle on the way!"

Near the village exit, about two miles north, Yang Ruqing encountered Yang Huazhou.

She told Yang Huazhou about her giving birth to a daughter, Bao Suyun.

"Are both mother and daughter safe?" he asked anxiously.

“Well, I'm just a little weak in the body, everything else is fine.” Yang Ruqing said.

Yang Huazhou's face instantly lit up, and he sprinted all the way back to the village, bursting into his house.

Just as he reached out to hug the child, Yang Ruqing stopped him.

"Wash your hands first before you hug!" she said.

"Good, good!"

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate! ?

The man washed his hands clean and, for the first time ever, used a touch of fragrant soap.

Then she turned and ran back to the bedside, picked up her child, held him in her arms, and looked at him carefully.

I couldn't help but bury my head and touch the child's face with my own.

"Stop it, your stubble hasn't been shaved, you might scratch the girl," Bao Suyun said with a reproachful tone.

Yang Huazhou quickly retracted his head and grinned, "Yes, yes, we can't hurt my precious daughter."

“My dear girl, I'm so sorry. Your father is such a foolish father!”

Yang Huazhou said.

This is the end of a paragraph.

Sun, Bao Suyun, and Yang Ruqing couldn't help but laugh.

Bao Suyun turned to Yang Huazhou and asked, "How is my brother? Where did he fall? Is he alright?"

Upon hearing this, Yang Huazhou's face visibly changed.

Bao Suyun noticed something, and asked, "What's going on? Tell me!"

Yang Huazhou said, "It's nothing serious, just fell and hurt my leg. I'm afraid I'll have to stay in bed for a month or two."

“Oh? It’s that serious?” Bao Suyun said.

“It’s a pity that I’m currently recuperating after childbirth and can’t go back to see him!” she added.

Yang Huazhou said, "Your brother asked me to tell you to take good care of yourself during your confinement. When you're a month old, I'll... I'll go back with you to see him!"

When Yang Huazhou said these words, he didn't dare to meet Bao Suyun's eyes.

Bao Suyun didn't realize so much.

Relieved that her brother was safe and sound, she finally let go of the worry that had been weighing on her heart for a day.

Seeing Yang Huazhou like his daughter so much, Bao Suyun's mood also brightened.

Immersed in the joy of becoming a mother again, a smile appeared on her face.

“Give me your daughter. I’ll take her for a nap.” she said.

"Good, good!"

Bao Suyun went to sleep with her child.

Yang Huazhou and Sun, as well as Yang Ruqing, came to the kitchen next door.

Mrs. Sun asked, "Is Suyun's brother really alright? That's good, that's good. This morning the one who came to report was really frightening!"
