Chapter 2444: Then You Should Raise the Child Yourself
Ning Shu opened the small box and found a purse with some copper coins inside. She then opened the cabinet and took out a bundle.
There were some clothes in the bundle, but the fabric wasn’t that good.
“Breastfeed the baby a bit,” Ning Shu said. It was said that the first breastfeeding was good for children.
Besides, Ning Shu wouldn’t be able to find any substitute milk for the child for a while.
The woman lifted up her clothing and fed the child.
Ning Shu rummaged through the bundle of neatly folded children’s clothes.
For the sake of this family, this newly-born child became a victim.
The woman was constrained under her husband’s tyrannical abuse and blamed herself for not giving birth to a son.
When the lady finished breastfeeding, she held her child and cried.
Ning Shu reached out to take the child. The woman held the child closely and was reluctant to give her up.
Ning Shu said, “Then you should raise the child yourself after all.”
The woman loosened her hold and Ning Shu hugged the child and walked away without looking back. Behind her, a suppressed cry came from the woman.
Ning Shu went out and saw three children at the door. The oldest was only six or seven years old, and the youngest was about three years old.
Sure enough, there were three girls.
As for the child in Ning Shu’s embrace, the father wouldn’t care about its fate.
Ning Shu walked out of the house with the child in one arm and the rag flag in the other.
Ning Shu used some of the money from the mother and stayed in an inn for one night.
The next day, Ning Shu exited the inn with the child on her back and went to a shop operated by the Li family.
The Li family was a rich family in this small town. They ran grain stores and jewelry shops.
Ning Shu arranged a yin gathering formation around the Li family’s stores.
A yang gathering formation gathered yang energy, and its inverse was the yin gathering formation.
The yin gathering formation would gather the surrounding yin energy and destroy the store’s luck. She also secretly put locust tree wood on the beams of the building.
Locust trees were demonic trees that had very heavy yin energy. It was bad to plant locust trees at your door, let alone have the wood on the beams of a house.
This was why people shouldn’t offend feng shui masters and craftsmen.
Even if someone just casually did something, they might have bad luck for the rest of their life.
Didn’t Lady Wang always boast that her family was great?
Without the support of her husband’s business, would she still be a high and mighty rich madam?
After finishing these things, Ning Shu patted the dust off her hands and turned her head to look at the child on her back. “Baby, now we need to find a place to settle down.”
Where would be a good place to go?
Ning Shu had bought some rations, so she had something to eat, but what would the child on her back eat?
Ning Shu was worried.
She strolled around the market and spotted a cow. She thought about it and decided to buy a cow.
She could use it to get around when she was tired and she could also milk it.
Ning Shu selected a cow that had just given birth to a calf and went to the pharmacy to get some medicine to stimulate milk production. At the very least, the milk would last for six months. After six months, the child would be able to eat some supplementary foods.
In ancient times, cattle were very expensive. Ning Shu also bought a small pot to boil the milk.
After calculating the prices of the various things, Ning Shu spent almost all her savings, in addition to the money given by the child’s mother.
Ning Shu placed her bags which held various necessities on the cow, then drove it forward.
Ning Shu wiped her sweat. Raising a child was really not easy.
She also didn’t know to whom she could give this child. Girls weren’t popular in this time period.
However, without women, mankind would be extinct.
The most terrible thing was that even women didn’t like girls.
What crimes were girls guilty of?
