A Military Doctor Became a Stepmom in Ancient Times

372 Plucking Feathers

However, just as they turned around, Madam Liu said sternly, “Stand properly!”

The two children’s mouths flattened when they heard that. They almost wanted to cry.

Ning Yue’s heart ached for the two children, but she resisted the urge to go forward and hug them.

Madam Liu doted on these two children very much and rarely spoke to them so sternly.

She was afraid that the two children had done something. She had to figure out what was going on first.

“In the past few days when you were in the capital, they’ve caused a lot of trouble. Now that they’ve learned to walk and run, they like to pluck the feathers of small animals. Not only have they harmed the chickens and ducks at home, but they’ve also harmed the others in the village. In the beginning, we thought that the children were just a little naughty, so we compensated money, but it was like this for a few days in a row. We can’t follow behind them every day to pay for the damages and apologize, right? Compensating and apologizing are small matters. If they get used to doing this, it won’t be good for their future.” Madam Liu was worried to death.

“Then what does this have to do with Wumei?” Ning Yue looked at Madam Liu in confusion.

“Your Wumei actually placed the plucked feathers on the bed and said that she wanted to make a down jacket for you. Oh my god, you don’t know how smelly the bed she slept on was! Moreover, it was your Wumei who instigated Xiaobao and Xiaobei to harm the chickens and ducks. She said that she wanted to use the feathers to make a down jacket for you. When the two children heard that, they went to harm the chickens and ducks. When your Second Aunt went to tidy up Wumei’s bed, she couldn’t help but vomit. Then, you came back,” Madam Liu said.

On the other side, Qin Shi had finished vomiting. After packing up, she walked to Ning Yue’s side.

“Auntie, you look very pale. Let me take a look at you.” Ning Yue couldn’t care less about the two children and quickly took Qin Shi’s pulse.

Ning Yue smiled.

“Yueyue, what are you smiling at? What’s wrong with me?” Qin Shi looked at Ning Yue’s smile and felt a little uneasy.

“Oh, Second Aunt, it’s a good thing! You’re going to give the family a new child,” Ning Yue said with a smile.

“Huh?” Qin Shi did not react for a moment and stood rooted to the ground in a daze.

“This is a good thing. Quick, quick, quick. Come in and sit down to rest!” Madam Liu carefully helped Qin Shi in.

Seeing this, Ning Yue couldn’t help but say, “Mother, you’re also pregnant. You have to be careful.”

“Yes, yes, yes. We all have to be careful.” Madam Liu was overjoyed.

“Oh, it’s so embarrassing. I already have Sanlang, Silang, and Wumei. It’s embarrassing to have another child.” Qin Shi blushed.

“What’s there to be embarrassed about? With me around, I’ll definitely take good care of you,” Ning Yue said with a smile.

Then, the three women chatted and forgot about Jiang Ying, Yuan Hui, and the three children.

After chatting for a long time, Ning Yue remembered. “Oh, look at my brain. I forgot to greet Grandpa.”

However, as soon as she left, Ning Yue saw Jiang Ying and Yuan Hui standing there looking at her with complicated expressions.

“Oh, Uncle and Jiang Ying, I forgot about you.” Ning Yue scratched her head in embarrassment.

“Help me put Uncle’s luggage in the room. Jiang Ying, are you going back?” After Ning Yue arranged Yuan Hui’s accommodation, she turned to ask Jiang Ying.

Jiang Ying was silent for a moment. Could he say no? He didn’t think so.

“Yes. Since I’ve sent you home, I’ll go home and take a look now,” Jiang Ying said with a smile.

“Help me greet Uncle and Auntie. After settling down at home, I’ll go over and see them too. Or let them come for dinner tonight,” Ning Yue said with a smile.

Jiang Ying was very satisfied with Ning Yue’s arrangements. “Alright, I’ll go back and tell them. See you tonight.”

“See you tonight.” With that, Ning Yue saw the three children pouting at her, as if they were very aggrieved.

“Xiaobao, Xiaobei and Wumei, come here,” Ning Yue called out to the three children.

The three children knew that they had done something wrong and walked to Ning Yue dejectedly.

“Wumei, your heart aches for me. I know. I also know that you want to make a down jacket for me, right?” Ning Yue asked Wumei with a smile.
