Considering Aunt Fang's safety, and of course not wanting to irritate Elder Zhao, Lin Mengya finally persuaded him with nice words to allow Aunt Fang to live with her.
There was no other reason, it was just that Lin Mengya very cleverly used the carbon monoxide poisoning as an example.
Although the underground secret room is safe, it is also not very ventilated, so there is a high risk of being suffocated inside.
As Elder Zhao, who almost died from the poison, he still has some lingering fears.
Even though I felt depressed, I could only grit my teeth and agree.
But at the same time, he also put forward various conditions.
For example, his wife had to accompany him for at least one meal a day, and no matter what they were going to do, he had to accompany them and a series of unequal treaties.
Of course, Lin Mengya persuaded Aunt Fang to accept it, so that if the other party regretted it later, they would find reasons to lock Aunt Fang away.
But when she brought Aunt Fang back to the courtyard and found that it was completely new inside and out, and there were even two large boxes suitable for Aunt Fang's clothes, Lin Mengya suddenly realized.
She was fooled by that guy, Elder Zhao!
Maybe he didn't want Aunt Fang to live with her, but he definitely didn't want to imprison Aunt Fang in a secret room.
Otherwise, how could these things be delivered in advance?
Really, in order to keep his wife, Elder Zhao really did everything he could.
But besides being angry and funny, she also felt that Elder Zhao was absolutely devoted to Aunt Fang.
Looking at Aunt Fang's reaction, she knew that the other party was not completely unmoved.
In this case, it is better to get to the bottom of the matter about the twins as soon as possible.
After all, Duan's mother and son were jumping around in front of her every day, and she felt it was an eyesore.
With Aunt Fang in charge, Lin Mengya was more focused on arranging manpower according to Aunt Fang's instructions.
After all, she has lived in the Zhao family for many years, and Aunt Fang knows everything well whether at home or outside the home.
The situation inside the city is not bad, but in the villages scattered around outside the city, people are freezing to death.
Although the Zhao family has tried its best to provide disaster relief, the manpower and supplies are limited, and they can only feel sorry for some clan members who really cannot take care of them.
"Master, Mrs. Zhao, Elder Zhao sent word that babies have died in the city."
On the third day after Aunt Fang returned, they received such unfortunate news.
After hearing Cai Ru's words, Aunt Fang's face became darker.
But Lin Mengya felt something was wrong.
"Didn't all the children under three years old and pregnant expectant mothers gather in one home from a few days ago? Why are there still children dying?" Although she did not agree to Elder Zhao's request on the surface, both the child and the mother were innocent.
In such cold weather, if there are no winter supplies, it is indeed easy to cause casualties.
So, they set up a place similar to a shelter.
However, the elderly, the weak, the sick and the disabled have priority, and other young and middle-aged people can insist on doing so at home.
She had already asked people to provide food, clothing, and warmth in the shelter, so why were there still people dying?
Cairu's face also looked a little bad.
In fact, the two little masters in the family are smart and cute. After getting along with them for a long time, she and Bai Su will naturally be inspired to have maternal instincts.
Today, I saw with my own eyes that the baby passed away quietly. Seeing the mother crying so heartbroken, she felt uncomfortable.
"The child was less than one year old and passed away in his sleep. I asked about it and found that the child was indeed a little weak before, but it was normal. I just didn't expect that he didn't survive."
Until now, both Cairu and the child's mother felt that the child died suddenly because of his weak health.
But Lin Mengya was a little worried when Elder Zhao mentioned the matter of "winter snow eating babies".
It's not that she is timid, it's that she still has a small one in her belly and a big one hidden outside.
If there was really any mystery, she would have to find a way to protect her two cubs.
After thinking about it, she asked Cairu to bring some anti-cold medicine for babies and pregnant women in the afternoon, and went to the shelter herself.
The snow on the road is already more than half a person deep.
Except for a small road that could only be used for carriages to go back and forth, which was shoveled out by the servants of the Zhao family, the doorways of every house were sealed with heavy snow, and the streets were deserted.
"This weather is so miserable." Cairu complained casually and put the cloak around her.
"If I had known it would snow so heavily here, I would have brought you more cotton-padded clothes from home. I don't know if the mountains and rivers here are different. They haven't snowed for three years, and it has snowed for three years at a time."
Lin Mengya knew that she felt sorry for him, so she held the heater and smiled, distractedly communicating with Xiaoyao.
The baby in the belly has begun to grow.
Although various indicators were still a little slow, Xiaoyao told her that this was normal.
After all, she has a special constitution, and this baby is definitely not an ordinary person.
It’s not Nezha. How can an ordinary baby
How many months will it stay in her belly?
If everything goes well, the baby will enter the normal growth stage in about half a month. However, Xiaoyao estimates that the baby will likely have sequelae of developmental delay after birth, but fortunately they have jointly developed a method for the baby.
The method of replenishing food the day after tomorrow.
She caressed her belly subconsciously. She loved this child very much and would give her the most wholehearted love and care just like she did her brothers.
After shaking for a while, the carriage stopped outside a courtyard.
The road was slippery in the snow, but the carriage was actually only a few steps faster than walking.
Cairu helped her out of the carriage. The surrounding area was completely white. Lin Mengya couldn't see very far, but she also knew that several surrounding courtyards had been temporarily requisitioned as shelters.
There are several old men who are responsible for guarding the gate.
When he saw the carriage coming out of the Zhao Mansion, he knew that it was delivering supplies to them again, so he quickly called his old friends to come out and help.
Seeing that they were very proactive, Lin Mengya took advantage of the situation to understand a few issues.
After knowing that the food here was okay and the heating supplies were sufficient, I felt relieved for the time being.
But when he mentioned the child who died in infancy, several old people couldn't help but sigh.
"Oh, it's all God's fault! We don't have many children here, but there will always be such a heavy snowfall every few years, and many babies will die afterwards. If this continues, it won't be long.
, there are no more dolls in our clan."
Lin Mengya already knew this.
Snow disasters occur randomly, but generally occur once every other year.
Some lucky children may reach three years old before the snowstorm comes.
As long as they could withstand the severe cold threat from the snowstorm that year, basically there would be no damage.
But giving birth to a child is not something that can be mass-produced.
Therefore, the majority of people should have died in the snowstorm.
But the worst of all are the pregnant women who suffered miscarriages due to snowstorms.
Their children have to be separated from them before they have time to come into this world.
Therefore, after every snowstorm, pregnant women who have lost their children will feel depressed.
Some are lucky and finally get over the difficult situation of losing a child.
And for some unlucky people, even if they become pregnant again, they will lose it due to the arrival of the snowstorm.
Over time, women here have become more helpless and afraid of having children.
When she first arrived here, she met such an unlucky prospective mother.
" Yun Niang, you listen to my mother and eat well to keep the baby in your belly."
Zhao Yunniang's mother was holding a bowl of hot porridge with a worried face, wanting her girl to eat as much as possible.
"Mom, I'm scared."
Zhao Yunniang, whose belly was highly bulging, hugged her belly tightly.
She was obviously almost seven months pregnant, but her face was thin and pointed, and her eyebrows were full of sadness.
The whole person is like a frightened little mouse. He can only hold his treasure and hide in the corner shivering, refusing to allow anyone to approach.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. Mom knows that you value your baby. Don't worry, this time the elder has brought us food, drink, and charcoal. This time, you will definitely keep your baby."
Zhao Yunniang's mother's eyes were red.
How could she not know her daughter's mood?
I don’t know why her daughter was so unlucky. She encountered a snowstorm in the first year of her marriage, and the child she just conceived died.
Unexpectedly, the second one happened to be caught up in another snow disaster eight months later.
She still remembered the night her poor grandson died. If she hadn't discovered it in time, she might have lost more than just her little grandson.
Since then, Yun Niang has had some mental problems.
Now that I finally got pregnant, I encountered this damn snowstorm again.
God, why do you always try to hurt her daughter?
However, Zhao Yunniang still huddled up in a ball affectionately and nervously, looking outside nervously.
"Snow demon, it must be the snow demon who wants to steal my child! Mom, help me, you must help me! The snow demon just took Little Walnut secretly, and now she must want to harm my child!"
Zhao Yunniang became more and more excited as she talked. Finally, she got up and ran away, trying to find a safe place to hide.
It happened that Lin Mengya wanted to see what was going on here, and the two of them bumped into each other at the door.
"careful!"
Cairu subconsciously went to help her master, but suddenly realized that the other man also had a big belly, so she quickly stretched out her hand to pull him.
Fortunately, she is a martial arts practitioner and has greater strength than ordinary people. She was able to catch the two of them one by one.
Otherwise, both pregnant women may fall down.
The people who chased her out only saw her as an "old woman", and she was actually carrying the weight of two people, so they quickly took Zhao Yunniang over.
Cairu returned to her master and asked in a low voice, "Master, are you okay?"
Lin Mengya shook her head, she was just shocked.
He raised his head and looked at Zhao Yunniang and her daughter who were chasing after them.
