Making Things Up

Bai Zhi opened her pale little mouth in shock. She obviously didn't expect to give birth like this.

"But… But there was a big hole in my stomach. Will I really not die?" Bai Zhi looked down at her hideous wound.

The wound was a little ugly.

However, she was still very grateful that she and her children could survive.

In the end, her husband was already gone, and no one else could see her body…

Bai Zhi thought of her husband and lowered her eyes in disappointment.

"Mother, it'll be fine. When the wound recovers, you'll be like a normal person." Hua Jiujiu comforted her.

"Really?" Bai Zhi still didn't believe it.

"Of course." Hua Jiujiu nodded affirmatively.

Bai Zhi's mood immediately improved after getting affirmation. "Eldest, where is that female miracle doctor? I have to thank her properly."

"The doctor left some prescriptions and left." Hua Jiujiu had nowhere to find a female miracle doctor for her.

Bai Zhi was a little disappointed.

"Mother, you can't eat now, but have some soup first." Hua Jiujiu handed the radish soup to Bai Zhi.

She thought it was just radish soup, but it tasted like meat. She immediately looked at Hua Jiujiu in surprise.

"When I went to the back mountain, I caught a pheasant." Hua Jiujiu didn't explain too much, lest her mother started overthinking.

Bai Zhi naturally trusted Hua Jiujiu, so she didn't ask further. "Then you guys should eat more." She pushed the radish soup in her hand to Hua Jiujiu.

"There's still a lot, Mother. Drink it quickly."

Bai Zhi took two sips and felt a little strange. "What about your grandmother and the others?" She was surprised they didn't take this pheasant away.

A cold glint flashed across Hua Jiujiu's eyes. "They went to Water Duck Village."

Bai Zhi immediately understood something and her beautiful eyes were filled with pain.

What would they do in the future?

She felt that she could not see the path ahead…

"Mother, rest and recuperate. Leave everything to me." Hua Jiujiu comforted her.

Bai Zhi looked at Hua Jiujiu and sighed. This girl was only 13 years old and had yet to reach adulthood. Moreover, she was still a girl. What could she rely on?

Hua Jiujiu did not explain anything. In any case, she would naturally know when the time came.

After eating the radish soup, Bai Zhi felt that she had regained some strength. She wanted to see her two poor children.

Hua Jiujiu went to carry the children over, but Second Sister stopped her. "Sister, let us go. Hurry up and eat. It's delicious."

"That's right. It turns out that meat and white flour are so delicious," Third Sister replied happily.

"Okay."

Hua Jiujiu was indeed hungry. She asked her two sisters to carry the children over and sat down to eat.

When Bai Zhi heard their conversation, her face was filled with confusion. When she asked Second Sister and Third Sister about it, she was so frightened that her face turned pale.

"E… Eldest, how could you steal from your grandmother?" Bai Zhi asked with a trembling voice.

Hua Jiujiu frowned and said coldly, "Mother, this is not stealing. They owe us!"

Bai Zhi moved her lips.

Yes, if they didn't take these things, their family would go hungry again tonight.

However, why did she feel that her eldest daughter seemed to have become a little different?

Before she could say anything, she was interrupted by Hua Jiujiu. "Mother, do you know what I experienced today?"

"What?" Bai Zhi subconsciously replied.

"I almost died today," Hua Jiujiu said casually.

However, it frightened everyone present.
