After being replaced, she changed from a miserable daughter-in-law to a lucky wife

Chapter 725 Aunt is fine

Xia Wanniang sat on a stool next to the table and let Pippi sit on her lap.

Wei Zhen placed a stack of books in front of her: "Madam, this is the register of children who have died in North City over the years."

Xia Wanniang looked at the three books in front of her: "So many?"

Wei Zhen nodded: "Just watch it first, if there is anything, please ask someone to call me."

Xia Wanniang asked him to go about his business while she slowly flipped through the booklet in front of her, which clearly recorded the birth dates and causes of death of these children.

Most of the children died in accidents. Some fell into the river and drowned, some fell to death while climbing trees, and some were killed after falling and hitting rocks or something like that.

Given the medical conditions here, it is difficult to save these children.

Xia Wanniang frowned when she saw this.

When Pippi turns his head and sees her frowning, he will reach out his little hand and touch her forehead.

Xia Wanniang lowered her head and saw his clear eyes. She smiled and kissed the top of his head: "Aunt is fine."

The coroner pushed open the door of the archive room and saw her flipping through the books. He quickly walked over and saluted: "Madam."

"Thank you, Coroner, are you here to look for the files?" Xia Wanniang looked at the visitor with a smile.

Coroner Xie nodded: "I am here to register. A child has died and I want to register him in the register."

Seeing that he was about to look for the booklet, Xia Wanniang stopped him and said, "Don't look for it. It's all here with me."

Coroner Xie looked at the book on her desk in surprise: "Madam, why did you think of looking through the death records of the children?"

"I just want to know the birth and death rates of children in the Great Xia Kingdom." Xia Wanniang closed the booklet.

Coroner Xie took out a booklet and registered: "I don't know much about the children who were born, but I know a lot about the children who died."

"Mr. Xie, if you are not busy, can you talk to me?" Xia Wanniang took out a toy and let Pipi play with it by herself.

Coroner Xie put down his writing brush and said, "If we talk about children, most of the deaths are before the age of seven. The adults in the family are busy with farm work, and it is the children who take care of them. If you are not careful, it is easy for something to happen."

Xia Wanniang: "So it's all because the adults at home are too busy."

Coroner Xie: "I can understand that. There is so much work to do in the fields every day. When the baby was a few months old, it was still possible to carry him to the fields. But when he was a little older, it became inconvenient to carry him to the fields to work."

Xia Wanniang expressed her understanding: "The child has grown up and doesn't want you to carry him every day, and adults can't carry him anymore."

Coroner Xie: "Yes, so either let the child play by himself, or let the older children at home take care of him. But children are always children, and if they are too eager to play, they will be careless."

Xia Wanniang didn't say anything else. It seemed that this kindergarten really needed to be opened, otherwise the adults would be busy with work and no one would have time to look after these children.

"Thank you, Coroner. Could you please put these books back in place for me later?"

Xie the coroner stood up and saw her off: "Madam, you are too polite."

Xia Wanniang took Pippi for a stroll and saw many children running around on the street. Sometimes they would run into carriages and if they were not careful they would be knocked down by them.

What worried her the most was the Huazi. She really had no way to defend against these people.

When Yu Wanwan saw her coming back, her face was full of worries: "Why do you look so worried after going out?"

Xia Wanniang looked at her curiously: "I just went to the government office to check the mortality rate of children in the northern city."

Yu Wanwan took Pipi in her arms and said, "Why are you checking these things for no reason?"

"Because I plan to build a kindergarten." Xia Wanniang said with a smile.

"I heard you mention it last time. What is it?" Yu Wanwan was also quite curious.

Xia Wanniang took out a few books and placed them in front of her: "You will know after reading the contents."

Yu Wanwan let Pipi play by herself. She flipped through the book in her hand and found it more and more interesting. "This is quite good. After the age of three, children can be sent to kindergarten and go to school when they are six or seven years old."

Xia Wanniang: "What do you think of this idea?"

"I think it's a good idea, but have you decided what kind of person you want to hire?" Yu Wanwan closed the booklet and looked at her.
