Reborn as a Happy Wife in a Rural Family - Chapter 239: Production

Chapter 239: Chapter 239: Production

The next day, Wuqing and Wuyou went to help with sales. They returned, elated, as dusk fell in the afternoon.

“Miss, Miss, look!” Wuqing rushed into the courtyard, a box in her hands.

Gu Qingli smiled at her.

Wuqing gently placed the box in her hand and said with a smile, “Miss, open it and have a look.”

Gu Qingli nodded, opened the box, and saw it was filled with silver banknotes, silver ingots, and copper coins.

“Did you count it?”

Wuqing shook her head. “No, let Miss count it and see how much money we made today.”

“What did you sell that brought in so much money?” Ms. Su asked, arriving just then with Gu Xicheng’s support.

Wuqing quickly fetched a chair.

“It’s some wine. Father can take some back to drink later,” Gu Qingli said.

“Your father is in no condition to drink! Absolutely not!” Ms. Su immediately refused.

Gu Xicheng wanted some, but seeing Ms. Su’s expression, he clamped his mouth shut.

He’d grown old, but his temper was still the same as when he was young—fierce and stingy. Hmph! Gu Xicheng turned his face away.

Gu Qingli watched their interaction, a smile playing on her lips.

After Ms. Su helped Gu Xicheng sit down, he began talking with Xiao Yunjing.

Ms. Su, meanwhile, came over to help count the money.

The thrill of counting money was palpable, and the mother-daughter duo grinned throughout the process.

“Miss, how much is it?” Wuqing leaned in to ask as soon as they finished counting.

“Five hundred sixty-seven taels and five hundred twenty-one wen,” Gu Qingli replied.

“Wow, that’s so much! We didn’t sell much of the wine, but the fruits sold very well. Those who bought wine today will definitely come back tomorrow,” Wuqing said, laughing with such confidence that her eyes crinkled.

Ms. Su had no interest in business and no real concept of such amounts of silver. Before she married, she had never lacked money. Although her mother was a concubine, her maternal family was wealthy, so her mother and her two children never lacked money in the Su residence. Otherwise, how could her mother have been so favored, even giving birth to a son and a daughter under the main wife’s very nose?

However, seeing her daughter and servants so happy, she felt happy too.

Gu Qingli was quite surprised. She had thought it would be good if the goods transported out last night sold for five hundred taels of silver; she hadn’t expected the amount to double.

There are quite a few wealthy people in Beijing County Town, it seems.

In the evening, after everyone had eaten dinner and chatted for a while, Gu Xicheng and his wife returned home.

Gu Qingli took a five-jin jar of Spiritual Fruit Wine from her Space and gave it to Gu Xicheng. Only after she mentioned that the wine was beneficial for health did Ms. Su reluctantly agree.

“TSK TSK TSK… A dignified Senior Grand Secretary, still henpecked,” Xiao Yunjing remarked, looking sympathetically at the retreating figures of his father-in-law and mother-in-law.

Gu Qingli didn’t hear this, but Yun No. 20, hidden in the shadows, did. It’s not as if Master isn’t henpecked himself, he thought. Whenever Lady looks displeased, Master immediately turns into a sycophant.

TSK TSK TSK. Thinking of Wuyou, Yun No. 20 shivered. Getting married is terrifying. It’s better not to. After all, I can still see her every day like this.

「The next day.」

As expected, the silver from sales doubled. Gu Qingli had Wuyou buy more Koji yeast and, in the evening, had the two of them enter her Space to brew wine.

「A month later.」

They had earned a full 50,000 taels of silver.

That evening, Gu Qingli was thinking, If these things can sell for so much money here, wouldn’t they sell for even more if shipped out? With more income, the gold in my Space won’t be targeted.

“Yunjing, is the city wall built yet?”

“It’ll be done before winter. Li’er, why do you ask?”

“I was thinking of shipping some wine out for sale.” First, sell the wine. It’s still summer, and there’s no shortage of fruit outside.

Xiao Yunjing kissed her on the head. “Li’er, you don’t need to worry about not having enough money. Our people have already started mining the gold.”

The people from the Secret Sect had discovered that underneath the area was indeed a gold mine. News came that the mine was estimated to be quite large.

“Oh? Does that mean the gold in my Space will no longer be swindled by you?”

“Hehe, Li’er, how can you say that? That was just an advance. All the money your husband earns in the future will be given to you, Li’er,” Xiao Yunjing said with a dry laugh. Silly? His wife was anything but!

“That’s still not en—AH! Yunjing, my stomach hurts so much…”

Suddenly, Gu Qingli felt a sharp pain in her stomach.

“Ah! Li’er, are you about to give birth? Li’er, don’t worry! I’ll call for someone. Don’t move!”

Xiao Yunjing’s heart tightened. The inevitable has come. He immediately scrambled up, calling out as he dressed, “Wuqing! Wuyou! Wuqing! Wuyou!”

He even used his internal energy.

Wuqing and Wuyou were sleeping just outside. Hearing Xiao Yunjing shout, they immediately jumped out of bed, grabbed the prepared medicine box, and rushed into the room.

“Miss!” Both of them were extremely flustered.

“Wuyou, quickly carry me to the operating table.” Gu Qingli endured the pain. It’s just started; I can still bear it.

Wuqing stepped forward, immediately picked up Gu Qingli, and ran towards the operating table.

The operating table had already been prepared in another room, and they hurried there.

As Wuqing placed Gu Qingli on the operating table, Ms. Su and Xiao Yunjing also rushed in.

When Xiao Yunjing had shouted, Yun No. 20 had already taken out a Night Pearl and placed it on a roof beam for illumination.

In the room, Gu Qingli also took out the Night Pearl she had prepared earlier and had Xiao Yunjing position it. Instantly, the room became as bright as day.

Ms. Su busied herself preparing the babies’ clothes.

Wuyou prepared the surgical instruments.

Wuqing assisted.

After positioning the Night Pearl, Xiao Yunjing came to the operating table, held Gu Qingli’s hand, and comforted her.

“Li’er, don’t be afraid. Your husband is here.”

His voice was trembling; he seemed even more afraid than Gu Qingli. She didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. Is this guy really here to comfort me?

“Miss, should we perform the surgery now, or wait a bit?”

“We can do it now. It won’t be good if the babies’ heads enter the birth canal later,” Gu Qingli said.

“Alright, I will start the surgery immediately. Young Master, will you stay here or go out?” Wuyou asked.

“I’ll stay here with Li’er.” Xiao Yunjing, nervous, kept kissing Gu Qingli’s hand.

His mind was buzzing. He forced himself to stay strong. I must see Li’er come off this operating table alive, or I think I’ll go mad from anxiety.

“Very well. We’re short-handed anyway, so Young Master, please assist later.”

Xiao Yunjing nodded.

Only then did Wuyou administer the prepared Anesthetic to Gu Qingli.

“Wuyou, I’m counting on you all,” Gu Qingli said, then her head tilted to the side, and she fell into a deep sleep.

Wuyou nodded to her, had Wuqing assist, and then began the C-section.

The moment her abdomen was cut open, Xiao Yunjing staggered and nearly fell.

“Steady yourself!” Ms. Su glared at him. Useless. He’s worse than an old woman like me.

However, this was also the first time she had witnessed such a procedure. She held her breath, watching Wuyou perform the surgery.

When cutting the uterus, Wuyou was extremely careful. The Miss was carrying triplets, and her uterus was stretched very large and thin; the slightest mistake could harm the babies.

“Wuqing, gauze! Absorb the blood.”

Wuqing immediately complied.

Wuyou took a deep breath and gently made an incision in the uterus.

SSSSLIT. A faint sound was heard as a small opening was made in the uterus.

WHOOSH. Wuyou let out a long breath and continued.
