The boy who was crying his eyes out was Xiao An, he didn’t even remember his surname. He was sold at a very young age.
Fortunately, because he was a child at that time so he wasn’t directly sold to a brothel.
But even then, he could only marry an old man who wouldn’t know how to look after his wife and concubine. His fate was already set in stone.
In any case, it was all caused by the current social situation.
Xiao An was a dim-witted child. When other gers guard against Qin Mu Wen, he would occasionally pass by Qin Mu Wen’s house, and he even stopped by to poke his head and say hello to him.
He was crying very hard because he was really worried about Qin Mu Wen’s troubled delivery.
Why was Qin Mu Wen’s husband still drinking outside? He didn’t even care about his wife and child.
Xiao An couldn’t do anything for Qin Mu Wen.

But, his future was not so bright too. If he couldn’t have a child in a few years, he would be discarded by the Li family.
But it was looking like even if he did have a child in the future, he would still have to go through hell during delivery like Mu Wen.
No one could help him, it was all fate.
In the end, Xiao An didn’t know if he was crying for Qin Mu Wen or his future.
But no one had guessed that Li Jin would come back. And he even brought eggs for them.
Even when Xiao An married into the Li family as a concubine, he could only get vegetables to eat.
Every household in the village could only taste meat during the holidays. And if the materials became more limited, then they could only eat pancakes and pickles.
In the entire village, only Li Daniu and the village chief were a little richer.
Even if others raised chickens and ducks, they would not slaughter it for tasting the meat.
They counted on the chickens and ducks to lay their eggs and left them for the hardworking people in the family. This was fair enough.

Some families in the village have three generations living under the same roof.
If their grandparents didn’t die, the family wouldn’t be separated. Therefore, all the young men of the family lived together in the same house.
The women in the family went to the market and sold the intact eggs.
If an egg was broken, it would be cooked for the people who plough the field most.
Sometimes those people were reluctant to eat it. They would secretly leave them for their children.
So, Xiao An had not tasted any egg for a long time.
They would have never hoped that one day Li Jin would make an egg pancake with chopped green onion for them.
There was envy in the other ger’s eyes.
“Awen, you are lucky, your husband has given you egg custard and chicken soup. There is also meat in the soup.”
There was meat in the soup, it meant that the chicken was killed.
The villagers only killed those chickens on New Year’s Day to celebrate. Or when a son was born in the rich family of the village.
In brief, no one would kill the chicken for his husband or his wife who was in the labor.
Qin Mu Wen didn’t comprehend how to react to all of this, he didn’t understand why Li Jin suddenly wanted to treat him nicely.
Although he was Li Jin’s wife, he had never treated him as a human.
Qin Mu Wen was very thin and tall, with his long legs and thin arms, his belly looked especially very big.
He had removed the cotton mattress under the bed for the fear of it getting dirty by the bloodstain during delivery.
He was sitting on a hard wooden bed with only a layer of the clean coarse cotton sheet.
Qin Mu Wen was sitting for a long time, and his back was hurting too much. But this child wasn’t willing to come out yet.
Xiao An looked at Qin Mu Wen’s painful face and quickly picked up the chicken soup to feed him.
“Don’t be afraid, the child will come out eventually, and you and your child will have a  safe life. You would still be hungry after eating egg custard, drink more of this soup.”
Li Jin had deliberately skimmed off the layer of grease from the soup, and only the tender taste of the chicken soup was left.
The pancakes had become soft in the chicken soup, and the aroma of green onion exploded on his taste buds. Qin Mu Wen ate a few more bits of pancakes.
The aroma of food gradually covered the dull and bloody atmosphere in the room.
If everyone had thought that Qin MuWen would die before delivering, then this idea had been completely overturned now because of Li Jin’s attention.
It looked like today even if Lord of Hell came for Mu Wen’s life, Li Jin would stop him.
Li Jin quickly washed again. He didn’t wash his hair because of the rush.
Initially, Li Jin didn’t want to wear clothes tinged with dust. But when he thought of the three brothers, he wore an outer coat directly.
After all, this was a world where men could have a child. If he went out wearing a shirt, he was afraid of damaging the reputation of those three.
Thinking of all of this, Li Jin couldn’t help but secretly curse the weird world and its norms.

After taking a bath Li Jin heard a painful cry.
Li Jin trembled.
Although as a doctor Li Jin had seen countless people delivering babies through regular or by the cesarean method.
He had even seen the uterus while operating on patients, Li Jin’s heart held no surprising feelings for such things. He could even discuss the whole operation with other doctors and give them some suggestions for rehabilitation.
The pale face of the boy seemed to come in front of his eyes.
Li Jin was feeling sympathy towards the boy and somehow he cared about him.
Li Jin was not stupid, he could conclude from the attitude of the person he met in the ox-cart that the original owner was bad towards his wife.
Otherwise, why would everyone hate him this much?

The boy who was giving birth must have suffered while marrying someone like the original owner.
The cry coming from the room became more and more painful.
Li Jin stood up and strode in the yard like any other ordinary husband who was anxiously waiting for the childbirth.
Li Jin wanted to go straight inside the room but he was worried about interrupting the childbirth.
He had no choice but to wait outside guarding the door.
Sometime later, the painful screams gradually lessened. Li Jin knew this was because there was no energy left in the boy to shout.
He really couldn’t wait anymore, he had to go inside and see the situation.
Suddenly, the door was pushed open from inside.
Xiao An ran out while crying and said, “Li Jin, Awen has no energy to go on, you should go inside and tell him your last few more words…”
The other two brothers were also very worried and scared about the boy who was going to die. They didn’t want to stay here anymore.

So they all went out of the house one by one.
Li Jin went inside and quickly shut the door.
There was a young man who was lying on the old wooden bed while looking like a dead body.
Li Jin quickly took off his coat with only a shirt on his body stride towards the boy.
Li Jin knew that the boy was alive. He just had no strength to react.
When he walked towards the bed, Li Jin had noticed that the bed was very hard.
He took the mattress stacked in the cabinet and spread it on the bed. Then he quickly picked up the boy and laid him on the mattress.
The boy’s consciousness gradually returned. When he saw Li Jin, his eyes were dead silent.
“Won’t, I able to make it?”
Li Jin quietly sat on the bed, and put him on his lap while combing his wet hair replied, “No, you are not going to die with me being here.”
He spoke the truth.
Although he didn’t know the boy’s condition he could still guarantee that this boy was not going to die on his watch.
Qin Mu Wen raised his eyes and looked at Li Jin with tears in his eyes. He couldn’t understand why this man told him that he would live.
Li Jin had always beaten him while saying if Mu Wen would die then he could happily marry Sui Xian.
But now Li Jin told him that he would not let him die.
Li Jin looked at the boy’s face, it was too young and not even eighteen years old.
A teenage boy like him would be playing basketball on the court while indulging in the pleasures of life if he was born in modern times.
And such a teenager was lying on the bed while giving birth and asking him, “I am going to die.”
The tone in which he asked was very plain, and there was not much nostalgia towards the world.
But Li Jin knew that this boy must want to live, otherwise he wouldn’t have persisted all the pain and sufferings until now.
But now he had accepted the reality and come in peace with his death.
Li Jin felt very distressed about this boy. He straightened his hair and slowly held his hand in his palm while saying, “You don’t have to worry. A baby can’t be delivered in a rush. When I will direct you, you just have to force yourself and everything will be fine. If you are in pain you could even squeeze my hand that will help you to force.”
Li Jin’s tone was different from how the original owner spoke. His voice now had magic that could calm people.
Qin Mu Wen clasped Li Jin’s hands as if he was clasping a life-saving straw.
While holding Li Jin’s cold hands, Qin Mu Wen somehow hit the blister the Li Jin’s palm.
Qin Mu Wen recalled that Xiao An had said that Li Jin was afraid that the egg custard would get cold, so he hold the bowl with bare hands.
Li Jin felt some pain when Mu Wen touched his blisters, but he still gazed at the boy and said smilingly, “Don’t worry about me. I am all right.”
