I became the Prime Minister’s Adored Wife after Transmigrating

177 Power of Life

Shanghe Village.

With money in hand, it was not difficult to do things.

After the initial fund-raising, the Earth Temple at the back of the mountain was now being built in an orderly manner. As the overseer, Shen Dashan naturally did his best.

After a busy day, Shen Dashan returned to the Shen family’s courtyard. Zhao Lanhua immediately served him a bowl of snow fungus pear soup.

“Delicious!”

“Ah Tao specially instructed that you have to drink a bowl of snow fungus pear soup when you come back to moisten your lungs.” Zhao Lanhua said happily, “How’s the progress at the Earth Temple?”

“We’ve already cleaned up the remnants of the old temple.” Shen Dashan raised his sleeve and wiped the sweat off his face. He said with a simple and honest smile, “Uncle Huzi had someone read the old almanac yesterday. It’s a good time the morning after tomorrow.”

“We have to bring Ah Tao along when the time comes, right?” Zhao Lanhua hurriedly asked. “Third Brother wants to bring Ah Tao along to light the firecracker. Does everyone agree?”

“How could I agree at first?” Shen Dashan shook his head. “After that, Uncle Hu Zi directly showed the list of donations. When everyone saw that Ah Tao had paid the most, they immediately shut up.”

“Isn’t that so?” Zhao Lanhua pursed her lips and said, “If it wasn’t for our Ah Tao starting it, why would they be willing to donate money to repair the Earth Temple! The Merit Monument that Third Brother came up with will not only make a name for themselves, but also benefit their descendants!”

“Father, Mother, what are you talking about?” When Ji Zhao walked out of the room, she happened to hear the two elders of the Shen family’s ridicule. She walked forward with a smile.

“I’m talking about you!” Zhao Lanhua sized her up happily. The more she looked at her, the happier she became. “Ah Tao, have you grown taller?”

“Really?” Ji Zhao subconsciously sized herself up and shook her head.

“You’ve been busy taking care of Third Brother recently. You’ve lost weight!” Zhao Lanhua said with some heartache. “Once a person loses weight, won’t they look taller?”

“There’s such a thing?” Ji Zhao could not help but laugh.

“Of course!” Zhao Lanhua nodded hurriedly. “Ah Tao, what do you want to eat tonight? Mother will make it for you.”

“Mother, I want to eat your dough drops.” Ji Zhao smiled and said softly, “I think your dough drops are especially delicious.”

“Alright, if you like it, I’ll make it for you now,” Zhao Lanhua replied happily and immediately turned around to go to the kitchen.

In less than an hour, a bowl of fragrant egg and scallion dough drop soup was placed in front of Ji Zhao.

“How fragrant!” Ji Zhao could not help but gulp when she smelled the fragrance that filled the air.

“Quick, try it while it’s hot!” Zhao Lanhua eagerly handed her a porcelain spoon.

“Thank you, Mother.” Ji Zhao smiled sweetly and immediately took the spoon, beginning to enjoy the delicious dough drop soup.

“Mother!!!”

At that moment, Second Sister-in-law Shen suddenly shouted from outside the kitchen, “I’m giving birth!”

Zhao Lanhua rushed out of the kitchen. Ji Zhao hurriedly put down the bowl and spoon and ran out!

Fifteen minutes later, the midwife and the doctor arrived!

In the room, Second Sister-in-law Shen panted heavily and felt a throbbing pain in her lower body. “It hurts to give birth!”

“Second Sister-in-law, take a deep breath first!” Ji Zhao hurriedly advised. “Slowly follow my rhythm and breathe in!”

“No, Ah Tao, I’m in too much pain… I have a feeling like I want to go to the toilet but can’t. Boohoo…” Two streams of regretful tears flowed down Second Sister-in-law Shen’s face. “If I had known earlier, I would have listened to you and Mother obediently and not eaten so much…”

Hearing this, Ji Zhao did not know whether to laugh or cry. “Second Sister-in-law, don’t let your imagination run wild. The most important thing now is to conserve your energy and conserve your strength. When your uterus is completely opened, you can do it in one go. You will definitely be able to give birth to a healthy baby safely!”

“Ah Tao, it hurts… Boohoo…”

“The ginseng soup is here!”

Zhao Lanhua hurriedly brought the cooked ginseng soup into the house. “Second daughter-in-law, how do you feel?”

“It hurts…” Second Sister-in-law Shen immediately looked at Zhao Lanhua and pouted aggrievedly. “Mother, it really hurts!”

“Good child, this is how women give birth. At first, it hurts terribly, but when you successfully give birth, it will be fine!” Zhao Lanhua hurriedly comforted her. “Is there anything you want to eat now? Tell me, I’ll make it for you immediately.”

“I don’t want to eat…”

“Second Sister-in-law, even if you don’t have anything you want to eat, you still have to drink this ginseng soup.” Ji Zhao blew on bowl of ginseng soup and handed it to Second Sister-in-law Shen. She persuaded her gently, “The ginseng soup replenishes your energy. You have to drink it all.”

“Besides, Mother spent a lot of money to buy this from the county!”

“Alright…”

Second Sister-in-law Shen knew that they were doing this for her own good. Although she did not like the taste of the ginseng soup, she still braced herself and finished the bowl of ginseng soup.

“Second Sister-in-law, have you heard of the Legend of the White Snake?” Ji Zhao had a flash of inspiration and decided to tell a story to divert Second Sister-in-law Shen’s attention. This way, she could also divert her pain.

“Legend of the White Snake?” Second Sister-in-law Shen’s curiosity was piqued. “What’s that?”

“Actually, this is a tragic and beautiful story of a human and a demon in love,” Ji Zhao said tirelessly as she supported her to walk slowly. “It’s said that many years ago, there was a white snake. After cultivating for a thousand years, she could finally take human form…”

Ji Zhao’s voice was very gentle and full of emotions.

Unknowingly, Second Sister-in-law Shen was immersed in the story she told.

“Isn’t this monk Fahai too unreasonable?” Hearing the climax of the story, Second Sister-in-law Shen puffed up her cheeks and said angrily, “Bai Suzhen and Xu Xian are really in love. Besides, Bai Suzhen didn’t do anything outrageous. Why is Fahai so annoying?”

“Second Sister-in-law, do you think Monk Fahai is annoying?”

“Yes!” Second Sister-in-law Shen nodded hurriedly. Then, she asked curiously, “Ah Tao, what happened after that? What happened after Bai Suzhen was locked up in the Thunder Summit Tower?”

“Second Sister-in-law, lie on the bed obediently and listen to me slowly…”

When it was almost 9pm, Second Sister-in-law Shen cried out in pain!

A loud baby cry came from the house!

Second Sister-in-law Shen had also fallen asleep due to exhaustion.

However, a second before she fell asleep, she wasn’t thinking about the gender of the child she gave birth to, but whether Bai Suzhen had escaped from the Thunder Summit Tower…

The midwife cleaned up the child and wrapped him in swaddling clothes.

Ji Zhao looked at his pink and tender face and felt her heart melting.

A person could actually give birth to another person.

The power of life was really too magical.
