Chapter 474: Sixth Sister-in-law, What’s Wrong?

Chapter 474: Sixth Sister-in-law, What's Wrong?

Sure enough, Mrs. He was briefly taken aback when she saw the baby bottles, but she quickly realized their value.

Although she believed the baby bottles were made of expensive glass, she had no other suspicions.

Regardless, as long as the two little ones were well-fed, she, as their grandmother, felt content.

That night, the Mo family celebrated the arrival of the two babies.

Moreover, news of He Zhiran’s successful delivery of twin siblings spread through the village.

The following morning, villagers began arriving at the Mo family’s home, bringing eggs and local specialties as celebratory gifts.

Fang Chuanzhou, Xie Tianhai, Hu Cong, and De Fei all came to visit.

Their gifts were naturally more valuable than those of the villagers.

While the villagers might not have known, these people were well aware.

It seemed as though the Mo family had been under a curse—despite all the sons marrying, none had been able to have children.

With He Zhiran’s successful delivery of twins, the Mo family’s unspoken concern was finally alleviated.

They were genuinely delighted for the Mo family.

Mrs. He, the matriarch, couldn’t stop praising her ninth daughter-in-law, Zhiran, for her great fortune, giving birth to two children at once, forming a perfect "good" character with a boy and a girl.

With the arrival of their descendants, the Mo Family became even more hopeful about their future life.

Every day, they worked harder than before, all striving to create a better and more comfortable living environment for the two little ones through their own efforts.

On the third day after the birth of the two little ones, the Mo Family was exceptionally lively, with many guests arriving uninvited.

Naturally, these guests were people who had good relations with the Mo Family and the villagers.

After the festivities, the two little ones were brought back to He Ziran’s side.

Just as the guests were leaving, Seventh Brother, who had gone to the Southern Region to find old comrades, returned.

He came alone, and seeing the joyous expressions on the faces of the departing guests, he guessed that something good must have happened at home.

Therefore, Mo Yuance quickened his pace.

Elder Brother and Second Brother, responsible for seeing off the guests, immediately spotted the weary Mo Yuance.

"Big Brother, Second Brother," Mo Yuance approached his two elder brothers, pulling them into the courtyard, "Is Father and everyone else at home?"

"I’ll go gather everyone right away," Second Brother knew he had something to say and ran off to find the others.

Soon, apart from Mo Chuhan who was on duty, all the male members of the Mo Family gathered in the hall of the two elders.

Mo Yuance first greeted the two elders, then said excitedly, "I did not fail in my mission. My trip to the Southern Region went smoothly, and I brought back nine hundred brothers.

Considering that it would be difficult to bring such a large group into the city during the day, I had them dress as ordinary civilians and enter the city gradually, taking a detour from the west side of the village."

Mo Qing nodded in satisfaction, "Well done, Yuance."

He then turned to Mo Jiacheng, "Jiacheng, take a few people to the west side. When those subordinates arrive, arrange for them to be sent up the mountain."

Mo Jiuya had already set up portable houses on the mountain. Although Mo Qing hadn't personally participated, he was aware of this.

Now that these people had arrived, they could immediately go up the mountain to settle down, which didn’t require much worry.

Mo Jiacheng looked at his father and reminded him, "Father, don't you intend to meet them first?"

How could Mo Qing not want to see the good brothers who had fought side by side with the Mo family men?

However, his legs were currently very weak.

This inconvenience was merely an excuse in his heart; the real reason was that Mo Qing always felt he had become a useless person and had no face to appear before those people.

"I won't go today. Everyone has been traveling for days; send them to rest first."

How could the sons fail to understand their father's thoughts? They just saw through it without saying it out loud.

"Alright, I'll go to the west side to meet them right away." After speaking, Second Brother went out to gather people.

After Second Brother left, Mo Yuance asked, "Father, Mother, I just saw many guests leave the house. Is there some good news?"

His sister's wedding was on the twelfth of June, and he hadn't returned from the Southern Region. Could it be that Ninth Brother’s wife has given birth?

When it came to the family’s good news, Grandmother Mo’s face lit up with joy.

"Since you left, you’ve indeed missed two pieces of good news at home. You weren’t present for Han Yue’s wedding, and a few days ago, your Ninth Brother’s wife gave birth to a grandson and a granddaughter for us."

"Mother, you mean Ninth Brother’s wife gave birth to twins?"

Grandmother Mo nodded with a smile, "Yes, as you said, Zhuer is the elder brother, and Mingzhu is the younger sister."

"Wonderful, Father, Mother! Our Mo family finally has heirs."

By now, Mo Yuance had come before Mo Jiuya and heavily punched his shoulder.

"You’re really something, continuing the Mo family’s lineage."

Though his punch seemed heavy, it was nothing to Mo Jiuya.

"Seventh Brother, Ran Ran has given the sisters-in-law the antidote. I believe it won't be long before we have more children in the family."

Regardless of what others thought, he had no doubt about his wife’s medical skills. It was only a matter of time before the sisters-in-law became pregnant and had children.

Because Mo Yuance had returned to the main house to discuss important matters, the sisters-in-law, though curious, did not join in.

They still followed the customs from when they were in the Imperial City; when men discussed serious matters, women wouldn’t step forward.

Although they couldn’t listen openly, it didn’t prevent them from waiting outside the room.

Mo Jiuya’s voice was quite loud and didn’t seem to be deliberately avoiding anyone, so his words were clearly overheard by the sisters-in-law.

At this point, Second Sister-in-law couldn’t stay calm.

She quickly walked to the door and called out loudly, "Ninth Brother, are you just comforting Seventh Brother?"

Otherwise, why hadn’t there been any sign from the sisters-in-law after taking the antidote for so long?

"How can this be? Everyone has seen Ran Ran's medical skills, and if she says the sisters-in-law's poison can be cured, it can."

Just as Second Sister-in-law was about to retort, a sudden commotion broke out among the women behind her.

"Sixth Sister-in-law, what’s wrong? Wake up quickly!"

"Sixth Sister-in-law! Sixth Sister-in-law!"

At the sound of the cries, everyone rushed to the courtyard.

There, Sixth Sister-in-law looked quite pale, her eyes tightly closed, half-supported by First Sister-in-law.

When his wife was in distress, Sixth Brother rushed to the front.

Though worried, he didn’t lose his composure, and stepped forward to lift her into his arms. He said to Mo Jiuya, "Ninth Brother, I’m truly sorry to trouble you, but I need Ninth Sister-in-law to check on Sixth Sister-in-law."

Xiling Village had no doctors. When villagers fell ill, they would either invite a doctor from a neighboring village or visit the medical hall in Yun City.

Even so, none of these doctors matched Ninth Sister-in-law’s skill.

However, Ninth Sister-in-law was currently in her postpartum recovery period. Sixth Brother wouldn’t have mentioned it if he wasn’t extremely worried about his wife’s condition.
