Chapter 19 The 20-year-old youth of the kidnapping village 17
Xu Fu, too lazy to relay the message to the male protagonist, simply lay down on the bed.
The cheers from the village could still be heard, as if the five children were theirs.
The villagers, thinking of their pregnant wives, suddenly felt hopeful again.
The whole country rejoiced, and the cheers lasted for a long time.
Annoyed by the noise, Xu Fu said sarcastically,
What's the point of shouting so loudly?
Whether we can afford to raise them in the future is another matter entirely.
"However, whether or not they are needed to support them is another matter entirely."
Upon thinking of a woman giving birth, Xu Fu was immediately jolted awake and jumped out of bed.
"System, his mother should be here in the next few days, right?!" Xu Fu thought to himself, "I'm a man..."
How could he possibly deliver a baby for his "adoptive mother" and take care of her during her postpartum period? It was quite dramatic...
Within three days.
Xu Fu received an affirmative answer from the system and gasped in surprise.
Although the system is incredibly powerful, and the "adoptive mother" faces little risk in giving birth on her own,
However, Xu Fu still decided to use a gold bean to invite villagers to come and take care of the woman during her postpartum period.
"It just so happens that the things I brought from the village chief's house will come in handy—"
Xu Fu tossed and turned all night, and the next day he went to the village to ask an old woman for help.
They weren't afraid that the other party would know that their situation was not right, so they directly stated their purpose.
"I, the God, will use a single gold bean to hire you for one month—"
"I hope you can come and take care of my mother during her postpartum period!"
Although Xu Fu's tone was intimidating, he was also very generous, and the old woman, who was being begged for a favor, readily agreed.
They promised to do their best and keep quiet.
That evening, the older woman moved into her "foster mother's" room.
The two squeezed together, eating and sleeping together.
The following evening, the "foster mother" gave birth to twins, both boys.
The "foster mother" was overjoyed.
The villagers were also aware of what was happening here.
No one dared to come over immediately to offer their congratulations...
They feared that if they angered the "divine messenger," the "mountain god" would punish them.
Moreover, every household has a pregnant woman, just in case something unexpected happens.
When the "divine messenger" was needed, the other party was unwilling to act easily...
So they can only pretend they don't know!
With the "foster mother" leading the way, the village was filled with the cries of babies for the next month.
The blood from the pregnant woman's childbirth was so foul that Xu Fu could smell it from three miles away.
"The air was so foul and the noise so loud it was impossible to fall asleep—"
Once his "foster mother" finished her postpartum confinement period, the people who had come to take care of him went straight home.
Now he not only has to take care of the twins, but also the male lead.
I'm so busy every day that my feet barely touch the ground.
He often looked at Xu Fu with an accusing gaze, hoping someone would come to his aid.
Even just comforting the two little ones would be helpful...
Xu Fu ignored him completely, pretending not to see the other person's eyes or hints.
During her postpartum confinement, the "adoptive mother" had no time to manage the male protagonist.
Xu Fu didn't want anyone to know that he had restricted the male protagonist's freedom, so the Bigu Dan (a fasting elixir) came in handy again.
One pill can keep an ordinary person's vital signs stable for a month without food or water.
After the female lead finished her postpartum confinement, she also visited the male lead's home.
But Xu Fu directly blocked the man outside, stating bluntly that the male protagonist had severed all feelings and love.
No longer suited to interacting with ordinary people and things...
Xu Fu used a plausible excuse to send the man away.
No matter how many times the female protagonist came, Xu Fu failed to arrange a successful meeting between the two...
Enraged, the female protagonist began spreading rumors throughout the village.
"How come most of the children in the village are twins?!"
"Moreover, God caused her father to die many years ago, so whose child did her mother give birth to?"
"How come everyone who visits the divine messenger's house gets pregnant so easily?"
"Is the child they're carrying their own, or someone else's?"
The rumors spread like wildfire, and the village was thrown into chaos.
In families with twins, there's either noise or the babies crying.
Before Xu Fu could retaliate, the two women who had only one child also gave birth to two boys one after the other.
The village fell silent for a moment, and the rumors gradually subsided.
But the doubts in one's heart are like a snowball rolling downhill; the longer it goes on, the more doubts there are.
They dared not confront Xu Fu directly, but they could pressure the women in their households.
Those who had just given birth and were still in their postpartum period were beaten black and blue.
They both hoped to hear a positive answer from people and feared that their guesses would be confirmed...
As for the two families who only had one son, how much regret they had felt before, and how useless their wives were—
Now I'm so glad I didn't get cuckolded...
The two pregnant women who weren't beaten or verbally abused secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Even without leaving his home, Xu Fu could hear ghostly wails and howls, from morning till late at night.
He yelled impatiently at the system, "You think I'm a pushover just because I haven't shown my true colors?!"
"System, collect all the firewood from their house."
"I'm going to make sure they can't even light a fire to cook overnight!"
[Yes, host. All the firewood in the village has been successfully collected.]
[This has been stored in the system space for the host, who can access it at any time.]
"Once they realize they've angered me, they'll be in for a world of trouble."
Xu Fu woke up very early the next day and opened the courtyard gate before dawn.
As dawn broke, cries of surprise echoed through the village.
"Where's the firewood? How come it all disappeared overnight?"
"Which bastard stole from our house?!"
"How can we cook with firewood? We can't just eat it raw—"
"Even if we go up the mountain to chop firewood now, will we even be able to start a fire?!"
After the villagers spread the word, they realized that it wasn't just one family experiencing this situation.
Suddenly it dawned on them—the rumors circulating in the village had angered the "mountain god"!
Because it's impossible for an ordinary person to collect all the firewood overnight.
Once he realized what had happened, the village chief quickly grabbed his chickens and ducks and went to Xu Fu's house to apologize.
Even if he wasn't the "local tyrant" in name only, he knew something about the rumors the female lead spread.
They also hoped to use the pressure of rumors to throw Xu Fu into disarray.
Then someone seized on a weakness and brought the "divine child" into the open.
After all, the village chief's family couldn't bear to part with their eldest son, this blatant money tree.
If the "divine child" is released, the village chief will believe his persuasion.
From now on, the villagers will only recognize the "divine son," and who will know what kind of person the "divine messenger" is?
Xu Fu immediately understood the village chief's trick, and let the other party kneel for half an hour.
Then he said softly, "This divine messenger has not yet seen your family's ancestral hall—"
"Why don't we, as the village chief, gather the men of the village and hold a sacrificial ceremony?"
"May the mountain god cleanse your filthy hearts—and may these messages vanish without a trace."
"Village chief, what do you think?"
