Xu Qing sneered. “What reputation do I have now?” In any era, getting pregnant out of wedlock was a shameful thing, and in a backward era, it was even more serious. She looked at the weather outside. It seemed like she couldn’t go to town today. It was all that man’s fault. Her mother and the others would probably be worried, right? Fortunately, she had already given instructions, so Xu Jiangxi’s injuries should be fine.

Xu Qing thought that it would be fine if she didn’t go to town for the time being. She hadn’t read the books she had taken from the villa yet. Ying Zhiyao’s drug-making skills were unparalleled. When these were done, she would be assured with raising the children alone. Moreover, that man was seriously injured and would definitely have a fever at night. If he died from a fever and in her house, Xu Qing would more or less feel guilty.

Now that Auntie Wu was helping take care of the children, she went back to rest at night. After all, the straw hut really couldn’t fit any more people.

Xu Qing wanted to throw this man out to sleep with that little ewe, but she was afraid that his wound would be infected, so she could only throw him on the ground. She lay on the bed and hugged the children while sleeping comfortably.

In the wee hours of the morning, the children cried from hunger. Xu Qing dragged her exhausted body to feed them and change their diapers. It was really hard on a little ewe to feed three children! Of course, it was also hard on her!

Xu Qing took a look at that man. It would have been better if she hadn’t seen him. She was shocked when she saw his hot face. “If you have a high fever and become a fool, it has nothing to do with me!”

To be honest, Xu Qing was not a competent doctor at times because she did not know how to take care of patients. Coupled with the fact that she was really tired, she gave the man medicine to cool down and checked him again. However, she suddenly woke up in an instant.

When they were in the mountains, she had not checked his pulse carefully. Now, she realized that this man was the ugly man who had fallen into her cornfield that day.

However, even so, it did not stop Xu Qing from turning around and going back to sleep. She had already saved him twice. He had to be grateful! His benefactor was really tired!

Over the past few days, Xu Qing had not gone to town. Firstly, it was because she had not prepared anything lifesaving. Secondly, that man needed to be taken care of and had a constant fever. Xu Qing took care of him for a few days before his condition stabilized. Only then did she go to town. Of course, she had to bring the three babies and take the ox cart.

There were already a few middle-aged women sitting on the ox cart. Xu Qing was a little hesitant, but she still brought the children up and gave the driver twenty yuan.

“You gave too much.” Grandpa Niu was a kind person. Although Xu Qing had three children, he only asked for Xu Qing’s fare.

“My three children occupied such a large space. Their fares should be paid.” Since Xu Qing was here, she wanted to integrate into this village.

“Grandpa Niu, just accept it. She’s a rich person, so why would she care about the fare? Hurry up, everyone is in a hurry.” Old Madam Lin, who had always been on good terms with the Xu family, said with a mocking expression.

“That’s right. We don’t know how she and that rich master got the money…” Old Madam Lin’s daughter-in-law also muttered. Instantly, the gazes of the surrounding people changed.

Xu Qing glanced at them and didn’t say anything. Old Madam Lin and the Xu family were neighbors and had a good relationship. It was entirely because Old Madam Lin’s daughter had taken a fancy to the Xu family’s fifth son, who knew how to read. Xu Jiangzhong felt that her daughter’s life would be completely different in the future and would no longer a farmer, so she naturally felt the same resentment as the Xu family.

However, they didn’t think about it carefully. According to the Xu family’s way of doing things, how could they fancy the girls in the village?

No one else on the ox cart helped Xu Qing. After all, they were all women. However, Xu Qing was different. Not only had she given birth to three children, but all of them were so beautiful. They were extremely jealous and wished for Xu Qing to die!

But not long after, another neighbor of the Xu family, Old Madam Li, suddenly scolded, “A bunch of sharp-tongued things, are you all leaving or not?”

No one said anything. Everyone knew that Old Madam Li had a sharp tongue. If she wanted to scold someone, no one could be spared.

Grandpa Niu hurriedly drove the car away in embarrassment. Xu Qing looked at Old Madam Li. She didn’t expect her to speak up for her.

Xu Qing smiled. Her hand moved slightly and the white powder landed on Old Madam Lin’s body. Then, she saw Old Madam Lin reach out and scratch.

“Mother, what’s wrong?” Old Madam Lin’s daughter-in-law, Qian Hua, was puzzled. What was this old lady trying to do? She almost pushed her down!

“I don’t know either. It’s so itchy. Hurry up and scratch it for me!” Old Madam Lin kept scratching. In the end, her face and body were covered in scratches that were constantly bleeding. She looked ferocious and terrifying.
