After being reborn as a widow, the mistress of the Hou family remarried a powerful official

Chapter 96 Do you still keep this child?

Ke Yiqing calmed down and had new thoughts about the people on the list.

Rather than being forced to open a porridge shop after receiving an imperial edict, it is better to carry forward the goodwill of these kind people.

"Bring these lists to Mr. Wang."

Li Wei was puzzled and asked, "Should we let him write an inscription?"

"Not only should it be inscribed, but it should also be framed and hung high so that more people can see it."

She told people in detail her idea: she planned to distribute the food given by these nobles for free, not in the form of rice, but to make porridge and give it to others for free.

There are two advantages to doing this. First, any family that can still live a good life will not accept it easily. After all, in Daqi, everyone still thinks that eating porridge is an insult to politeness.

Secondly, since the Holy Father will order wealthy businessmen to open porridge shops sooner or later, if they do it in advance, they can win the hearts of the people.

Li Wei pondered for a moment and felt that this was a good idea. It was a way to get the best of both worlds. It not only improved the reputation of Deji Hall, but also satisfied the nobles who provided food and noodles.

Why not?
"Madam, I think that's good too, but with rice so scarce, are you being a little hasty?"

"what do you mean?"

"We still have a lot of potatoes, and people who come to buy them say they are very good at fighting hunger by mixing them in and cooking them together."

Ke Yiqing picked up the account book and thought about it carefully, and felt that this was also the case. Just now, she had a hot head and started squandering just because the food came in. However, famine is not a child's play, so naturally she must treat it with caution.

"You're right. There happens to be a lot of potatoes left in the cellar. Last time I went to see them, I peeled off the ones that didn't look good and boiled them together."

Li Wei knew what she was worried about, so he said a few words of relief, "This is how we eat in my hometown. It takes longer to cook and is extra sweet!"

"Okay, I'll leave this matter to you. Doctor Xie and I still have something to say, so I'll go to her place first."

"Okay, my mother bought some bird's nests the day before yesterday. If you don't mind, madam, you can eat them."

When she heard about the bird's nest, she smiled. Knowing that the man was still upset about the previous incident, she was not polite and went directly to Aunt Li to stew three cups of bird's nest.

Aunt Li gave her a cup, and she gave the other cup to Xie Li.

"It's hard for you to remember me."

"Good sister, I dare not forget."

The two sat on the couch and chatted about the pharmacy for a while. Xie Li said that the cold epidemic situation has become more and more serious recently, and many people came to her to get medicine.

"If this continues, the medicinal materials we collected before will probably be in short supply."

Ke Yiqing also sighed. Although she had already made a lot of plans, she really couldn't handle the situation getting worse in this life.

Whether it was famine or cold epidemic, it came earlier and was more severe.

I just don’t know if the official notification will come earlier.

Her intuition told her that there was something fishy going on here, but right now she was so weak and so lucky to be able to take care of her own little family that she really didn't have the ability to delve deeper into it.

"Yiqing." Xie Li suddenly called her, his voice extremely soft.

"what happened?"

"How have you considered the matter I asked you last time?"

Ke Yiqing smiled bitterly, what was supposed to come would still come. This was the reason why she was avoiding Xie Li intentionally or unintentionally these days.

"I-I don't know..."

"When you are one month old, if you want to have an abortion again, I'm afraid you will have to go through it too!"

She turned away, her lips trembling, "I know all this, but I really..."

I really can't bear to be cruel, I really can't bear to make a choice, why do such painful things always involve her?
Why can't she live the life of a normal lady?Have a husband who loves you, have a safe pregnancy and give birth to a child, don’t have so many messy things to deal with, and don’t have to worry about Shengjing’s food rations?
Unknowingly, Ke Yiqing revealed all her inner thoughts and cried herself.Xie Li hugged her, knowing that her life was too tiring and the burden was too heavy.

"Where's the one who killed a thousand swords?!"

"The killer is thousands of miles away, and he doesn't want to have a child either."

Xie Li scolded: "No wonder you always call him a piece of shit. He is really not a human being, let alone a man!"

She broke down in tears and smiled, and was hugged and comforted softly for a long time before she regained her composure.

"Thank you also. If you hadn't forced me to face this matter, I don't know how long I would have escaped."

"I'm not saying that, if you insist on having a child, you have to think about the long term for the child."

Ke Yiqing raised her head and knew that what Xie Li said made sense. After all, her husband's family was like that, and her parents' family couldn't tolerate her. But apart from the shop, what else could she leave behind?

"Then what do you mean?"

Xie Li rolled his eyes, "That bitch of yours is a powerful character, right?"

She thought about it, and if she couldn't count her power, then Yan Ming would indeed be worthy of the title of a powerful character.

"You are stupid. You want a child and you want to be clean. How can such a good thing in the world be possible?"

After listening to this, she felt as if she had understood something, but at the same time she seemed to understand nothing.

“Oh!”

Ke Yiqing opened her eyes wide and was shocked by her words like Meng Lang.

"Hahahahaha, you rich ladies are naturally careful in their lives. Unlike me, who is only half a worldly person, I don't know what to say. Don't be angry."

"It's okay, I also know you are doing it for my own good..."

But hearing these words made her feel ashamed even though she had lived two lifetimes.

But she roughly understood Xie Li's good intentions, which meant that if she gave birth to a child, she had to consider the child, and she couldn't leave a mess behind.

At this time, the father of the child will naturally make the best use of everything.

Ke Yiqing suddenly felt enlightened. Yes, if it really happened, she probably wouldn't survive. Why not have a good relationship with that bitch so that her child would be protected in the future?

"You are so beautiful, but if you are willing to coax her, what do you want?" Xie Li spat at her, and then said: "If you are really capable, maybe I can find a life-saving prescription for you."

When she walked out of the door, she was floating, and those words were swirling in her mind and she didn't want to leave.

When Li Wei saw her coming out, he was used to it and said: "Master Yan has sent a letter. Is it still burning as usual?"

Yan Ming was a thief. He knew that she didn't want to read his letters, but he was afraid of delaying any important information. Over time, whenever he wrote something like "I miss you so much that I miss you" in the letter, he would put a dried flower in the letter paper.

If not, then they probably talked about serious matters and only said a few words at the end of the letter.

Li Wei has been familiar with this routine for a long time, and he can tell who the letter is addressed to just by touching it.

Ke Yiqing stared, "Why did he write another letter?"

It's not that she's exaggerating, but that bitch Yan Ming writes back every now and then. Sometimes it's affectionate, and sometimes it's hot and explicit. It's normal that she doesn't want to read it.

Li Wei scratched his head and planned to put the letter back in the corner of the desk, where the letters had long piled up into a hill, and even the air was filled with the fragrance of dried flowers.

"That's all, give it to me and I'll take a look."
