The peasant girl is not strong

Chapter 417 The Midwife

The old housekeeper explained the situation, not asking the midwife to help deliver the baby, but asking about an incident more than 30 years ago.

"More than 30 years ago? Can't remember!"

The midwife was about to close the door after she finished speaking. She had a guilty conscience. She remembered that she had taken money from someone else, and later she took money from that person. Don't tell this secret.

"Sister-in-law, wait!"

The old housekeeper winked and asked the guards to stop the midwife.

"You guys, what are you going to do? The old woman has already told me that I don't remember!"

The flustered expression of the midwife, the old woman's presbyopic eyes clearly saw the side of the same old man, these two strong men are very scary!

She was guilty again. She had promised the other party not to tell others this secret when she received the money back then, and she kept this secret for more than 30 years.

I thought I would keep this secret in the loess, but no one has checked it for more than 30 years.

The old butler gave the guard a look. Two guards who looked like strong men clamped the old man's arm, pushed open the door, and led the old man into the house inside.

The old butler is behind, closing the door by the way.

"You, what are you guys going to do? You are breaking into a private house, and if you report to the official, you will go to jail!"

The guard ignored the old man's shouts. The alley was a bit quiet. Someone poked his head out of the old man's shouts, but saw no one outside. The direction of the voice was the midwife's house.

These people recalled the situation where the son of the midwife was beaten to death a few years ago, and the midwife was injured in her leg.

Who dares to rescue?

Isn't that looking for death?

The neighbors have not been in contact with the family who pick him up these years, and told the child not to play with his grandson.

At this moment, he wondered if his grandson also gambled, and someone came to collect debts!
The gangsters are cruel, how dare they save them!

"Old sister-in-law, you are too rude. Did you get beaten just to keep a secret?"

"No, I was beaten not because of this incident!"

"Oh, so there is something else?"

"No, really not!" The midwife guessed that she might have slipped her mouth, and covered her mouth with the hand that the guard let go.

"Old sister-in-law, tell the truth obediently. Let's not report to the officials. If you don't tell the truth, I will sue you for changing the child!"

"You, you, you..., it has nothing to do with me to change children, and I'm just a living!"

The midwife is guilty of fear, no one can check to keep the secret, and if the other party really wants to report to the official, she may really want to eat a pot and not report it, or take other people's money and act in a cowardly manner!

"Hmph, if you don't tell the truth, you will be sent to jail!"

The old housekeeper was full of threats, the midwife trembled all over, her lips trembled, she couldn't utter a word after moving her mouth for a long time, her eyes were full of horror!
Midwives are also afraid of death, most afraid of being beaten to death in prison, or being exiled for guilt.

"Old sister-in-law, you don't think about yourself, you also think about your family. You don't want your family to be guilty, do you?"

When the midwife heard the old housekeeper's threat: "What does this have to do with my grandson? My grandson was not born at that time."

"Oh, how old is your grandson?"

"My brother is in his 20s now, and he wasn't even born then!"

"There is no other family? Your grandson is not yet married, is he a bachelor? If you do something bad, there will be retribution!"

The old butler knows a little bit of psychological warfare, forcing the old man to tell the truth.

"No, no, it has nothing to do with me, and I didn't do it!"

The midwife didn't know if she was a little superstitious, but she was a little confident after hearing what the old housekeeper said, and she always insisted that it had nothing to do with her.

"Just tell me what happened back then, and I'll let you go. If you hide anything, you'll go to jail!"

The midwife bit her lip, but she still didn't say anything. The incident happened so long back then, and she threatened her in the past few years. In recent years, when the other party became rich, she threatened her again and again.

The old butler was very anxious, but he knew that the other party must be warned.

Otherwise, this old woman wouldn't have such a horror, even if she was scared by going to jail, she wouldn't be willing to tell what happened back then.

He considered whether to ask in another way.

"Old sister-in-law, did the female guest who lived in the inn over there give birth to a boy or a girl? Did the other woman give birth to a boy or a girl?"

"One male doll, one female doll!"

The midwife felt that the other party should be able to understand this answer.

The old butler really understood after hearing this. He asked the question separately just now. If what the other party said matches him, then the baby born to the aunt is a boy, not the young lady brought back.

So someone changed the child of the aunt, and the identity of this person and another mother needs to be further verified.

"When someone comes to ask in the future, don't say you know?"

"Uh-huh"

The midwife nodded fiercely, watching the person who threatened her and the two strong men leave the house, she closed the door in fear.

Who will knock on the door and ask in the future, if it is not her grandson, she will not open the door, strangers are too scary!

The old butler took his guards and found a gentleman who could draw, and then went to the inn to find the father-in-law of the shopkeeper, and drew the appearance of the female guest 30 years ago.

Not long after the midwife closed the door, his door was knocked again.

The midwife didn't dare to go out to open the door, but she didn't expect the other party to jump in from the fence. It was a man wearing a cap covering his face.

"You... who are you?"

"The man who is going to kill you!"

"Don't kill me, it has nothing to do with me!"

The midwife sat down on the ground in shock.

When the old housekeeper was investigating, he didn't know that someone was following him.

More than one force, after he went out of the inn, he looked for the midwife, and then invited a gentleman back to the inn to find the shopkeeper's father-in-law. In the description of the shopkeeper's father-in-law, he drew a portrait.

When the old butler got the portrait, someone came to the inn to check it, and the midwife checked it, but the innkeeper, father-in-law and midwife were terrified!
Horrified, they told everything they knew. Fortunately, they were not injured. These people were just listening to the news and had no intention of killing people. They panicked again and again.

It's better that the shopkeeper didn't do anything wrong. The midwife was frightened and fell ill. When his grandson came back, he found that grandma was ill.

I went to the doctor behind my grandmother's back, but unfortunately I didn't have enough money, and the doctor said it was a serious illness that couldn't be cured?
In the end, grandma became dementia and became paralyzed.

The grandson couldn't understand how grandma was fine when she went out in the morning, so why she suddenly fell ill.

Not friendly with the neighbors and they didn't tell the midwife's grandson about the visits.

The old housekeeper also didn't know that someone followed him when he was investigating the case.

He looked at the portrait drawn by his husband. This person looked a bit like a young master, just like a master, which made him puzzled again.
