On the Difficulties of Escape in Ancient Times

After hearing this, Xiao Xiao said, "Aunt is watching over us at home, why don't you go join in the fun? That way I'll have someone to talk to."

"I just came out of confinement." Xiao Xiu looked at her chest and was distressed: "Look at me like this, I don't even want to go out."

Of course, the Jiang family is not unable to afford a wet nurse. Thanks to the founding queen, everyone knows that it is better to feed the baby by one's own mother.

Even though she thought she had recovered well, both the Jiang family and the Xiao family wanted her to recover better and insisted that she stay in bed for two months.

In fact, nowadays, after a girl gets married and has children, wealthy families have the tradition of keeping the baby in confinement, but for ordinary families, it is good enough if they can rest for three to five days.

For example, when Liu gave birth to three daughters, she was able to raise them for more than half a month, which was enough to make all the young wives in the village envious.

Even Xiao Xiu herself had never dreamed that she would marry Jiang Yu and live such a happy life now.

She also knew in her heart that the elders of the Jiang family, who had not been particularly satisfied with her before, began to look upon her with new eyes after her two younger sisters got married.

But it will be even better for me after I give birth to a son.

She also wouldn't think that the Jiang family was snobbish. People need to spend more time with each other before they can develop feelings for each other.

Xiao Xiao looked at her eldest sister. Originally, the three sisters were all thin.

Today, Xiao Xiu wears a light pink dress and a plain embroidered skirt. She only uses a jade hairpin to tie her hair up, and has a pair of jade bracelets on her wrists.

This dress makes her eyes look more radiant, her lips look more like vermilion, and she looks fresh, charming and lovely like a rose after the rain, with a particularly gentle beauty.

"You are such a good brother-in-law." Xiao Xiao stepped forward and touched her smooth face like a pervert: "Sister, you look better like this now, not fat at all."

Xiao Xiu's cheeks instantly turned red, and he glared at his sister: "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Then he asked her, "Why are you free to come here today? Is there anything?"

In the past, whenever my sister came to visit, she would ask the servant to let me know in advance. It was rare for her to make a surprise visit like she did today.

Xiao Xiao had nothing to hide from Xiao Xiu, so she whispered, "Haven't I consummated my marriage with Li Yan? But you see, I'm still young, and I don't want to get pregnant so early, so I came to ask you for some contraceptive pills."

After hearing what her sister said, Xiao Xiu's pretty face had turned red. She was too embarrassed to look at anyone. She lowered her head and spoke in a voice as low as a mosquito: "That kind of medicine is somewhat harmful to the body. Your eldest brother-in-law said that he would ask Grandmaster Ning to make some better medicine. When he brings the medicine, I will send it to you."

Jiang Yu was afraid that she would get pregnant again soon, so he thought of this.

He was also shameless and said a lot of nonsense, which made her blush when she thought about it now.

Xiao Xiao even winked at her mischievously: "I didn't expect my brother-in-law to be so thoughtful."

Xiao Xiu turned around and left shyly: "Someone sent me some loquats yesterday. I think they tasted good. Would you like to try some?"

Xiao Xiao stopped teasing her elder sister and decided to make her nephew cry: "Where's Xiaobao? I miss him, let me hug him."

Xiao Xiao first went to pay her respects to the old lady and the lady, then held her fat nephew for a while. After successfully making the child cry, the two wet nurses who were waiting outside hurried in and took the child away.

The two sisters simply went back to their parents' home hand in hand.

My younger brother Dabao, who is over one year old, can already walk and crawl. I guess he will soon be too big to be kept in the backyard.

The Xiao family has now also bought four honest and hardworking women who can do laundry, cook, clean the yard and look after the shop.

It was not their turn to look after the children. Mr. Xiao and his wife were mainly looking after the children. The eldest brother Xiao still led his younger brother and the people from Xutian Village who came to seek refuge with them to do business in Mingzhou Prefecture and open a store without delay.

Liu and her sister-in-law are now doing the soapberry business that Xiao Xiao had started. They even bought a small shop next to the Seafood Building to specialize in selling these soapberries.

Therefore, they were not often at home. They took turns working in the store with the Lin sisters and two maids.

Not only their soapberry shop, but also Xiao Xiao's seafood restaurant and their own seafood wholesale store would be visited.

Xiao Dalang has now been assigned to work as a yamen runner in Shuntian Prefecture. Although the salary is not high, it is close to home and there is extra income. He has also calculated the date for his marriage, which is in the second half of the year.

Of course Xiao Erlang went to the academy again, and now he only went home once every ten days.

Xiao Sanlang also went to a nearby private school and started leaving home early and returning late.

Therefore, the Xiao family, which has a large population, now only has the elderly couple at home taking care of the children and two maids doing the laundry.

When Old Lady Xiao saw them, her eyes lit up: "You sisters are finally back."

Then she couldn't help complaining, "Now you know why everyone wants to have a boy, right? After a girl gets married, she can only see her husband once every ten days or half a month."

"If we come back every day, you won't care about us anymore." Xiao Xiao raised the basket in her hand and said, "I brought a basket of loquats from my eldest sister's house for you to eat. They have small seeds and lots of flesh and taste great. Eating them can help you resolve phlegm and relieve cough."

Of course, the two sisters would not only bring these things when they returned to their parents' home.

The two maids from the Jiang family placed the parcels in the basket on the coffee table and then left.

Mrs. Xiao had seen many good things now, so she was not impatient to open them. Instead, she said to them, "If you only come back once a year or two, I wouldn't say much about these big and small bags, but if you come back often, you can't bring so many good things every time, otherwise it will be embarrassing for your in-laws."

Xiao Xiao deliberately asked: "Grandma said before that we come back infrequently, and now she complains that we come back too often, so how often should we come back?"

Mrs. Xiao was speechless.

Xiao Xiu also stepped forward to support Xiao's mother, and spoke softly to show his concern for their health.

Old Man Xiao was laughing beside him. He also liked having his granddaughters back. Listening to them talking and laughing made him feel much more relaxed.

After a while, Liu, who was worried about her son, came back in a mule cart. Seeing her two daughters playing with her son, she was overjoyed and said, "When did you come back? If I had known, I would not have gone out."

"I just came back not long ago, and it was just a sudden decision." Xiao Xiu smiled at her: "We were originally going to the shop to look for mother?"

Xiao Xiao clasped her fists and said, "Greetings to Mr. Liu, Shopkeeper Liu. How is business in the shop today?"

Liu smiled and glared at her: "If you want to know, I won't tell you."

The mother and daughter chatted for a while, mainly because the mother was concerned about her fat grandson and worried whether her younger daughter had been wronged.

As for the eldest daughter, looking at her appearance, you can tell that she is living a very comfortable life.

But the younger daughter married a bastard, and she was afraid that her mother-in-law would make things difficult for her. The younger daughter couldn't stand it and would have a physical conflict with her mother-in-law.

Seeing that it was already past the 5th hour, the two sisters left their parents' home and went back to their own homes. (End of this chapter)
