Chapter 628 (1/2)
The boatman said angrily, ”this dead woman delivered my wife. She clearly gave birth to triplets. However, she threw one of my daughters into the wild. Now she can't find it. I want her to compensate my daughter.”
The landlady was startled. She didn't believe the boatman's words. She turned around and asked aunt Qian, ”Auntie, is the daughter-in-law of boss Li having triplets?”
Aunt Qian was almost stunned and stammered: ”I... I didn't mean to throw his daughter, just... Just...”
The landlady was frightened and asked, ”Auntie, why do you want to throw away one of Li's daughters?”
”He... His daughter's two feet have the birthmark of dragon and Phoenix on her heart, which is a very bad omen! If I don't throw away this baby girl, not only my life will be lost, but the family of boss Li will be in disaster. ”
Landlady puzzled asked: ”what is Longfeng birthmark?”
”Just... There is a birthmark like a dragon in the heart of one foot, and there is a birthmark like a phoenix in the heart of the other foot. This is called the birthmark of dragon and Phoenix. Anyone who has this birthmark will harm the people around him. Not only my midwife, but also the whole family of boss Li will suffer. I... I can't help it!”
The boatman was also surprised and asked, ”are you looking for an excuse?”
”Boatman, I'm telling the truth. If you find this girl, you'll know I'm not lying. You think, I've delivered so many children, and I've never thrown one away. Why should I throw away your girl?”
The landlady thinks that Aunt Qian is right. She has been a midwife for ten years and has a good reputation. How can she throw away other people's babies.
The landlady turned to the boatman and said, ”boss Li, aunt Qian didn't lie. I can see that since your daughter has a dragon and Phoenix birthmark on her foot, I'm afraid it's a disaster to keep her.”
The boatman said angrily, ”don't believe this dead woman's story. I've been wandering around for more than ten years, and I haven't heard of any birthmarks.”
Aunt Qian knelt down and begged: ”boatman, I really don't want to hurt your family, but to save your family. Of course, I also want to save myself. I don't want to die in your hands.”
The boatman asked, ”where did you throw my daughter?”
”She and the placenta were thrown into the woods at the entrance of the village.”
”I went to look for it yesterday morning. I didn't see any children. I only saw three placentas. Where did you throw my daughter?”
”Boatman, I really threw your daughter, even the placenta, into the woods at the entrance of the village. Maybe she was taken away by wild animals.”
The old man said: ”if it's really taken away by wild animals, how can the placenta still exist?”
Aunt Qian thought for a moment and said, ”maybe it was picked up. Boatman, if you really want to find this girl, you should visit everywhere to see if anyone has found a child at the entrance of the village.”
The landlady urged: ”boss Li, I don't think aunt Qian is lying. Someone must have picked up your daughter. Go and visit her as soon as possible. Maybe you can find some clues and get her back.”
The boatman said angrily: ”you are a dead woman. If you can't find my daughter back, you will come to you to settle the accounts.”
Boss Qian left angrily.
The landlady asked doubtfully, ”aunt Qian, is the dragon and Phoenix fetus really unlucky?”
”Yes, my master told me that as long as you see a baby with a birthmark on the foot, you can't let her live. If you meet a baby with a birthmark on the foot, you can't leave her. Otherwise, we midwives will be killed by her.”
”My God, it's so scary.” The landlady spat out her tongue in fright.
At this time, the landlady's daughter came back, saw her mother's face of fear, asked: ”Mom, what's the matter?”
The landlady waved her hand and said, ”it's nothing. Go and do your homework as soon as possible.”
The daughter of the landlady is the little widow who later became the owner of the restaurant.
Chang Wen interrupted aunt Qian's words and asked, ”what happened at the beginning? Now the landlady doesn't know at all?”
