Bright red blood was accumulated in pots. Under Madam Song’s strong request, they were all placed in the room first, in case it was more worrying to bring them out.

A twin birth was indeed more tortuous than ordinary labor. Madam Song had given birth to two sons before, but she still found it very unbearable. Large beads of sweat kept falling from her forehead and quickly wet her clothes, but she bit the cloth ball tightly to prevent herself from crying out in pain.

Xiaoxiao’s heart ached. While no one was paying attention, she added some painkillers to Madam Song’s ginseng soup.

The dosage was not big. It had been confirmed with the space that pregnant women could use it. It would not affect her strength, but it would ease the pain slightly.

There was a strong smell of blood in the room. Even with Xiaoxiao’s medicine, Madam Song’s face became paler and paler, and her muffled groans started to become inaudible. Xiaoxiao entered the account and asked the space: [Is there anything that can help her? For example, life-saving medicine.]

The space told her: [After scanning, it can be seen that Master’s adoptive mother is currently in a normal state. Master, you might not know, but this is how childbirth is, especially in ancient times. It’s common to encounter life-threatening situations at this time. Compared to those people, your adoptive mother is already very lucky.]

They all understood the logic, but Xiaoxiao couldn’t help but sigh at the greatness of maternal love when she saw Madam Song gritting her teeth and sweating all over.

After an unknown period of time, two consecutive baby cries sounded in the house. Ning Fengnian jumped to the door. “How is it? How is Qiuniang?”

As the midwife washed the newborns, she said to Madam Song, ”You’re really lucky.”

Madam Song took a deep breath weakly, her expression gentle and satisfied. “Yes, it’s my fortune to meet him and marry him.”

The midwife looked down at the child and swallowed her words.

After witnessing the miracle of life with her own eyes, Xiaoxiao had a deeper understanding of the word “mother”. In the previous world, did her mother, whom she had never met before, also try her best to give birth to her like this? In this world, did Xiao Ran’s mother give birth to Xiao Ning at all costs?

She suddenly felt like she was deeply loved and wanted to love someone else better.

She was not a sentimental person, nor did she like to dwell on her unhappy past. She would not think about why her mother had given birth to her but did not want her. She was only glad that her mother had given her life even though her arrival was not so anticipated.

That was why she had the chance to open her eyes and look at this beautiful world. That was why she wanted the people around her to live happier and happier. She also wanted to treat the people who loved her better.

Ning Fengnian finally couldn’t take it anymore. Hearing the midwife say that the child was already wrapped up, he rushed into the door and didn’t forget his daughter’s instructions. He put on a clean and soft coat before walking to Madam Song’s bed.

“Qiuniang, you’ve worked hard.”

“What do you want to eat? I’ll bring it to you.”

Madam Song was both shy and warm. “You don’t have to bring it… I’m fine. Where’s the child?”

The midwife, who had a child in each hand, was ignored. She coughed lightly at the side. “Congratulations to the two of you. You’re two fat boys!” Otherwise, why did she say that Madam Song was blessed just now? It was rare for many people to have a son. She, on the other hand, had two promising sons to begin with. Now, there were two more. She didn’t know how many good deeds she had done in her previous life to be rewarded like this!

Unexpectedly, the two of them frowned when they heard her report the good news. Madam Song sounded a little disappointed. “Sons?”

Ning Fengnian’s expression was even more obvious. There was even disdain in his expression. “They’re all sons? We don’t have any daughters?”

After saying that, he reacted slowly. “Huh? Qiuniang gave birth to two babies? Twins?”

He grabbed Madam Song’s hand. “We won’t give birth in the future! It’s too dangerous!”

The midwife had never seen such a family. They cared more about the mother than the child and looked forward to their daughter more than their son. However, deep down, she was really envious.

Seeing that Madam Song was completely out of danger, Xiaoxiao returned to the kitchen. Rong Yan guarded the door to ensure that no one noticed her short disappearance. As soon as Xiaoxiao returned, she took out the nutritional soup she had prepared from her space and placed it on the tray. After thinking for a while, she took out a few snacks and handed them to Rong Yan.

Rong Yan had realized recently that when Xiaoxiao wanted to treat someone well, she would first think of feeding them. He was happy to enjoy it. After eating, he took the initiative to take the tray and accompany her to Madam Song. When they reached the door, he happened to see Ning Anhui, who couldn’t hold it in anymore. He leaned against the door and asked, “Is it a boy or a girl?”

When the midwife heard the familiar question, she happily raised her voice. “Congratulations. Madam got two sons in one go!”

Unexpectedly, Ning Anhui pulled a long face like his parents. “Ah, my sister…”

The midwife was already speechless. Seeing that he was looking at Xiaoxiao pitifully, she said aggrievedly, “Previously, they clearly said that we could give birth to a sister as cute as Xiaoxiao. Eldest Brother and I have even prepared Little Sister’s clothes!”

Xiaoxiao couldn’t help but tease with a smile. “You can let my niece wear it.”

If it were someone else, wishing for them to give birth to a daughter would be tantamount to scolding them. However, the Ning Family was different. Ning Anhui’s face was flushed as he nodded repeatedly. “That’s right. If this time doesn’t work, another time will do. If I can’t have a daughter and we still have Eldest Brother. Otherwise, we still have these two boys. They can always give birth to a precious daughter!”

The midwife did not want to speak anymore, and the guests congratulated them one after another. “Congratulations, Brother Ning. Three blessings in a row!”

Ning Fengnian, who had just come out after watching Madam Song fall asleep, couldn’t help but blush as he apologized. “No, no. I didn’t treat you all well today. Thank you for your understanding. I’ll definitely treat everyone to a drink another day!”

Anyone with eyes could see the Ning Family’s luck. Who wouldn’t want to be blessed?

Everyone agreed happily. Before they left, they left behind many festive words and sent congratulatory gifts the next day.

The people invited to the wedding banquet were all familiar people. Most of them had received Xiaoxiao’s favor directly or indirectly. Even the Li Family, which was inconvenient to show up during the mourning period, sent people to send generous congratulatory gifts. Feeling everyone’s good intentions, Xiaoxiao finally made a decision.

A few days later, a shop called “There’s a Book House” opened its door in a low profile manner. Before the opening day, there was no trace of who the shopkeeper was or what was sold in the shop. However, the curiosity of the surrounding commoners was even higher as they waited at the door.

A smiling manager stood at the door, his voice slightly sharp.

“This place is called ‘There’s a Book House’.”

As he spoke, everyone saw a neat row of bookshelves behind him. The books on the bookshelves attracted the gazes of the students on the street.

Books were still an expensive item in Great Xia. There were not many scholars, and a large part of the reason was that they could not afford to study.

Hence, the students were really happy and helpless when they saw the bookstore open.

They were happy that there was another bookshops on the streets of Xijiang County. Helpless, they might not be able to afford a few books even if they gave up everything..
