Chapter 207: Do you also believe this?

Qiao Hushui and the others did this also because they were worried that Qiao Xuehua would go to the Gao Shi family and cause trouble, hurting herself.

They were worried Qiao Sheng would misunderstand, so they hurriedly explained.

After listening to them finish speaking.

Qiao Sheng stared at them and asked, "Is this matter related to the Gao Shi family?"

Seeing her refer to her own mother like that.

Qiao Hushui's brows furrowed, but he still didn't say anything.

He looked at Qiao Sheng and said, "This matter also can't be said to be related to the grandmother's side; your mother slipped on her own foot and fell."

"What did she step on?"

Qiao Sheng asked.

Qiao Xuehua said with red eyes, "Elder sister, it's oil. This oil wasn't spilled by us; it was the grandmother's side…"

Upon learning it was oil.

Qiao Sheng had a cold face and said to Qiao Hushui, "Father, what else do you have to say?"

It's like this: your grandmother's side bought oil yesterday, spilled a lot on the ground, and when we came back today they told us about it, but an accident still happened.

Qiao Hushui opened his mouth to speak.

What they said, we can't blame them for doing it on purpose, can we?

Qiao Sheng's face grew colder: "Do you also believe this? When did they become so rich that they treat oil so carelessly, able to spill it everywhere at will?"

Qiao Hushui's expression stalled.

Qiao Sheng stopped paying attention to Qiao Hushui, she pushed open their room door and walked inside.

The doctor and midwife were both inside at that time.

The doctor was invited back by Qiao Xuehua, and the midwife was invited back by Qiao Lihua.

Qiao Lanhua had run out to look for her since the incident occurred.

Only now did she run back.

Seeing Shi Yun and the others wanting to follow inside, Qiao Lanhua and Qiao Hushui's group stopped them.

Inside the room.

The doctor had just finished acupuncture on Lan Yue Niang.

When Qiao Sheng entered, he was collecting the needles.

"Doctor, how is my mother?"

This doctor is from their village; he previously ran a clinic elsewhere, but lately he didn't want to keep it open so he returned to their village, and now he sees patients and treats injuries in the village.

The doctor answered Qiao Sheng truthfully.

"Your mother's condition is not good; although I have stopped her major bleeding, it might happen again soon. If it does, I'm afraid…"

"My mother will be fine."

Qiao Sheng interrupted the doctor's words.

"Lianhua…"

Lan Yue Niang's weak voice came from one side.

"Mother!"

Qiao Sheng walked to the bedside and grasped Lan Yue Niang's outstretched hand; her hand was cold, making her feel uneasy.

"Mother, you will be fine; I won't let anything happen to you."

Qiao Sheng rubbed Lan Yue Niang's hand for a moment, then prepared to get her some Spirit Spring Water to drink.

As she was leaving, Lan Yue Niang grabbed her: "Lianhua, Mother, Mother, if something happens to me, please, please protect the child in my belly…"

"No!"

After shouting, Qiao Sheng said, "I know you care about this child, but this child is yours—aren't I and Xuehua and the others also yours? Don't say anything more; I won't let anything happen to you."

She soon brought some Spirit Spring Water for Lan Yue Niang to drink.

After Lan Yue Niang drank the Spirit Spring Water, Qiao Sheng still felt uneasy and asked the doctor to buy ginseng, then had Qiao Lihua prepare it and bring it over for her to drink.

Basin after basin of blood was poured out.

Qiao Xuehua cried outside from worry until her eyes swelled.

A quarter of an hour passed.

Two quarters of an hour passed.

Finally, the baby's crying came from the room, though the sound wasn't very loud.

Qiao Sheng only glanced at the baby, then had the midwife take it away to be cleaned up.

Lan Yue Niang still didn't know if it was a boy or girl; she opened her mouth and asked, "Lianhua, is it a younger brother or a younger sister?"
