212. Chapter 212: Naming, Shi Yun's grandmother arrives.

Qiao Hushui lightly tapped Lan Yue Niang's head and said, 'Are you stupid? Nobody else wants to take a concubine for their husband, but you actually let me take a concubine. Look at our family—who takes a concubine?'

Yeah.

Isn't she just stupid?

Lan Yue Niang also thought so, but whenever she thought of Qiao Hushui having no son, she felt a bit uneasy.

Before Lan Yue Niang could say anything,

Qiao Hushui put down the daughter in his arms, embraced her and said, 'Wife, don't feel bad, don't cry, you're still doing the sitting month. Nothing is more important than your health.'

Under his comfort,

Lan Yue Niang's emotions gradually calmed; she looked at his frail daughter in his arms, then slowly took her over and said, 'I've slept so long—has she not cried?'

Qiao Hushui opened his mouth and said, 'She cried; I fed her a little warm water, and she fell asleep again.'

Lan Yue Niang blamed herself endlessly: 'It's all my fault; if I hadn't fallen, our little daughter would surely have grown up better than Lianhua and them when they were young.'

It's not your fault.

Qiao Hushui told Lan Yue Niang what had happened earlier.

Lan Yue Niang clenched her fists and said, 'How could they be so cruel? What have I done to offend them? Why would they do this?!'

Qiao Hushui sighed and said, 'I didn't expect them to go this far, Yue Niang. Earlier, when Lianhua came back and chatted with me for a while, she suggested we rebuild the house together; then we could stay away from them.'

Good!

Lan Yue Niang had no objections.

Qiao Hushui immediately discussed the child's name with Lan Yue Niang.

The previous daughters were all given flower names.

This one naturally should be the same.

They thought it over and decided to name her Qiao Tao Hua, since peach blossoms would soon be in bloom.

Qiao Sheng learned they had given their little sister such a name, and she spoke up: 'Dad, Mom, why are you so fond of flower names? Can't you pick something else?'

Doesn't it sound nice?

Qiao Hushui asked.

Qiao Sheng compared it to other girls' names and thought it still sounded nice, but compared to modern names, she felt it was somewhat lacking.

All right, all right, up to you.

Lan Yue Niang blinked and said, 'Lihua, why don't you give your little sister a name? But it would be best if it still had a flower…'

Qiao Sheng: '……'

Isn't that about the same?

Qiao Sheng thought about it anyway and gave it some serious thought.

Thought for a while.

Qiao Sheng came up with a name: 'Dad, Mom, why not name the little sister Qiao Yinghua? Cherry blossoms will soon be in bloom.'

She felt it sounded better than Tao Hua.

So.

The name of Qiao Wu Mei was thus set.

Since her health wasn't good.

For the third-day washing, Qiao Sheng and the others didn't wash her.

These past few days, Qiao Sheng has been taking Xiao Shitou and the others to run to the village every day, staying there for half a day each time.

The reason is half a day.

It's because she was worried that Shi Yun's grandmother wouldn't be able to find them.

On the afternoon of the sixth day of the first lunar month.

Not long after Qiao Sheng and the others returned home, a knocking sounded at the gate.

Shi Yun excitedly sprang up and ran to the gate, with Qiao Sheng and the others following behind.

'Grandma…'

Before Qiao Sheng and the others could get close, Shi Yun flung himself into his grandmother's arms.

His grandmother was called Ouyang Zhi; although her hair was all white, her face looked like she was in her forties, and she wore a plain white robe that was not ordinary cloth.

'Good.'

Ouyang Zhi rubbed her grandson's head, looked at Qiao Sheng and said, 'Are you Qiao Sheng?'
