With a beef jerky dangling from her mouth, Xia Qingqing slowly walked towards the pigpen, carrying a full basket of pig feed on her back.

Since drinking the potion that Gu Yunshu gave her to improve her physique, Xia Qingqing no longer needs to use the system space to cheat in transporting pig feed; she can easily handle dozens of kilograms of pig feed.

This feeling of being filled with power is amazing. If she encountered a robber now, she could take on three of them with one punch.

Before even reaching the pigsty, Xia Qingqing noticed something was wrong. The person lying on the ground groaning looked so much like Sister-in-law Caixia!

Startled, Xia Qingqing threw her basket to the ground and ran over, shouting, "Sister-in-law Caixia, how are you?"

Liu Caixia lay on the ground in agony, her face deathly pale: "My stomach, I'm going into labor, ah~."

Xia Qingqing looked down and, sure enough, found that Liu Caixia's water had broken.

"What, what should we do?" Xia Qingqing was so anxious that she didn't care about anything else. She picked up Liu Caixia and ran towards her home.

"Help! Help! Sister-in-law Caixia is about to give birth!" Xia Qingqing shouted as she ran.

Someone heard the commotion and quickly ran to the field to inform Liu Caixia's family.

Xia Qingqing carried the pregnant woman, who weighed over 100 pounds, and ran all the way. Just as she arrived at Sister Caixia's house, two little boys came out to greet her.

"Wow, Sister Qingqing, what happened to my mom?" The older boy's voice was trembling with tears.

Xia Qingqing didn't bother to answer and shouted directly at the little boy, "Take me to your parents' room quickly."

Nine-year-old Zhang Shundong immediately forgot about crying and turned around to lead Xia Qingqing to a room.

Xia Qingqing put Liu Caixia on the bed and breathed a sigh of relief. She looked at the two teary-eyed little boys and said reassuringly, "Your mom is going to have a baby. It's okay, don't worry."

Liu Caixia's face contorted in pain. Five-year-old Zhang Shunnan, with tears in his eyes, watched his mother lying in pain on the bed and cried out, "Mommy, I want my mommy."

Looking at her youngest son crying miserably, and then at her eldest son holding back his tears, Liu Caixia forced a smile and said, "Don't be afraid, Mommy is about to give birth to a baby. How about I give you both a beautiful little sister?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Shundong, who was eagerly anticipating having a younger sister, nodded vigorously: "I want a younger sister, not a younger brother."

Zhang Shunnan didn't understand at all, but he echoed his brother, "We want a younger sister, not a younger brother."

Just then, a shout came from the doorway.

"Wife, how is my wife?" Zhang Dehong ran in, covered in sweat. As soon as he heard someone deliver the message, he didn't have time to think about anything else and rushed home.

When Xia Qingqing saw that an adult had finally arrived, she felt a little relieved: "Sister-in-law's water broke, and she needs to be delivered immediately."

"Oh, my mom must have already sent someone to call a midwife, she'll be here soon," Zhang Dehong said. He hadn't even thought about finding a midwife, but he was sure his mother would make all the arrangements.

Xia Qingqing briefly explained what happened to Zhang Dehong: "I had just delivered pig feed to the pigpen when I saw Sister Caixia lying there. When I saw that her water had broken, I quickly carried her back."

Zhang Dehong looked at Xia Qingqing gratefully: "Qingqing, thank you so much. I don't know what would have happened if it weren't for you."

Although the pigsty wasn't in the middle of nowhere, not many people went there normally. If Xia Qingqing hadn't discovered it, his wife would be in a terrible predicament right now.

But it's clearly not his wife's due date yet, so why is she suddenly going to give birth?

Looking at Liu Caixia lying on the bed with a pained expression, Zhang Dehong felt a pang of heartache in his eyes and gently wiped the sweat from her forehead: "Wife, you've worked so hard."

Liu Caixia bit her lower lip and gently shook her head: "It's not hard work, you just keep an eye on the sons."

Liu Caixia didn't want her two sons to be frightened by her childbirth, so she reminded the man several times.

Suddenly, hurried footsteps came from the doorway. Zhang Dehong's mother finally arrived late with the midwife: "Son, how is your wife now?"

"She's in bed, Mom, please check on her," Zhang Dehong said, finally feeling reassured when he saw his mother.

The old lady glared at her son: "What are you standing here for? Hurry up and boil some water."

Zhang Dehong suddenly realized, "Oh right, I still need to boil water."

Next, Zhang Dehong's mother and the midwife delivered Liu Caixia's baby in the room.

Zhang Dehong, Xia Qingqing, and their two children were all kicked out.

Hearing Liu Caixia's wailing coming from the room, Xia Qingqing trembled. Giving birth looked so scary, sob sob.

Zhang Shundong looked at Xia Qingqing, who had her eyes closed, and shook her sleeve: "Sister Qingqing, will my mother be alright?"

Xia Qingqing looked down and saw that the child's eyes were still filled with tears. Hearing his mother's cries of pain, he must have been very scared.

She gently patted his head and comforted him, "Everything will be alright. Soon you'll have a beautiful little sister."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Shundong looked at his father with a puzzled expression: "Dad, can our new little sister be as pretty as Qingqing?"

Zhang Hongde glanced at Xia Qingqing subconsciously and said with a smile, "Definitely. After the baby is born, we'll ask Qingqing to be the first to hold her. The baby will grow up to be as beautiful as Qingqing."

After speaking, Zhang Hongde looked at Xia Qingqing with a questioning gaze, seeking her opinion: "Is it okay, Qingqing?"

Xia Qingqing smiled and nodded: "Of course, no problem, as long as you and your wife don't mind, Brother Dehong."

"How could that be? Your sister-in-law would definitely be happy too." Liu Caixia had told him privately before that she hoped this baby would be a girl, preferably as beautiful as Xia Qingqing.

"Well, when my little sister is born, I'll take her out to play every day and teach her to read. She'll definitely be smarter than Nan Nan," Zhang Shundong said with anticipation.

Zhang Shunnan, who had been closely following his older brother, seemed to sense something was amiss with his bewildered little head.

If he were a little older, he would probably realize that his brother's behavior was what's known as "dualistic comparison."

About an hour later, the sound of a baby crying suddenly came from the room.

A short while later, the midwife came out carrying a baby and smiled happily at Zhang Dehong, saying, "Congratulations! Dehong, you now have both a son and a daughter!"

As the midwife was about to hand the baby to Zhang Dehong, Zhang Dehong quickly waved his hand and refused, saying, "I won't hold him, I won't hold him."

The midwife's heart skipped a beat. Had she guessed wrong? Zhang Dehong already had two sons and still didn't want a daughter?
