After her death, Su Di discovered she was living inside a book where the female protagonist became wealthy and successful in the past era.
Unfortunately, she wasn't the female protagonist...
"Okay, I'll go right away." Xiao Liu's own children are all grown up now, and he has long forgotten what it was like when his wife gave birth.
Now, he could only panic. Thinking of the old marshal and Minister Qi, he hurriedly ran away.
"Daughter, what do you want to eat? Eat something while your tummy doesn't hurt yet to build up your strength." Grandma hurriedly went to the cupboard to find something to eat.
Suti isn't hungry right now, but she knows she won't be able to eat anything soon, and she definitely won't feel like eating when the pain starts again.
They didn't stop their grandmother, and she ate quite a few pastries and drank a glass of milk.
By the time Li Baichuan and the others arrived, Su Ti's cervix had already dilated to two fingers.
She didn't go into the delivery room because she wanted to tell Baichuan, otherwise he might panic later.
"I'm fine, don't worry. The doctor said my cervix is dilating quite quickly, and I should be able to give birth tonight."
Once the contractions had subsided and she had recovered, Suti smiled at the several pale-faced people over there.
"Wife, how are you? Where does it hurt?" Li Baichuan's hands were trembling, and he was soaked in sweat. He didn't even know how he got here.
"It's okay, you should be able to go into the delivery room soon. Don't worry, just wait outside. Go call your mom and the others later."
“By the time they take leave and come over, they’ll probably be discharged soon. You’ll have to take care of all these things.”
Seeing his condition, Suti decided to give him something to do, otherwise he would faint from fright.
"Okay, don't worry, wife, I'll take care of it. You can focus on having the baby," Li Baichuan quickly said.
After calming several people down, Suti felt the contractions getting stronger and stronger, and felt she could go into the delivery room, so she asked someone to call the doctor.
Suti was experienced enough to know that shouting was wrong, but the screams of the unborn child inside were almost piercing her eardrums.
"Your cervix is dilating very quickly, you should be able to give birth tonight, just keep it up like this." The doctor was very satisfied to see Suti like this.
It's nothing compared to that one over there who was shouting and yelling when the cervix had only just opened.
"Thank you for your help." Actually, Suti was in a lot of pain, but the baby in her belly was what she had been longing for.
Thinking of the suffering she endured in her past life, there was nothing she couldn't bear.
Labor was agonizing, and Suti felt she had never been so miserable or humiliated in her life.
Lying there all alone, she wanted to scream her heart out, but in the end, she didn't even have the strength.
She gritted her teeth and tried her best to endure it, her hands almost digging a hole through the delivery bed. She desperately comforted herself, afraid that she wouldn't make it through.
Right now, she really wants someone to tell her, "Don't be afraid, you're amazing."
Soon another woman entered the delivery room. There were piercing screams from both sides, and she felt dizzy.
"Quick, your water broke. Listen to my instructions. Push only when I tell you to." After what seemed like an eternity, just when Suti felt she had reached her limit, several doctors gathered around her.
They encouraged her, telling her how to breathe and how to exert force, but her mind was blank.
She had no idea what day it was; she only had one thought: to give birth to the child as soon as possible.
She didn't know how much time had passed, but when the morning sunlight shone into the room, she heard a cry.
Tears welled up in Suti's eyes as well. After the first one, the second one came quickly. The chorus of cries told her that they were healthy.
Although she was exhausted, she suddenly felt alive again.
"Congratulations! Both are boys. The older one weighs 4.6 pounds and the younger one weighs exactly 4 pounds. They're being raised very well."
Several doctors tidied up the baby, showed her the child briefly, and then prepared to take the child out.
The people at the door hadn't slept all night, their eyes fixed on the delivery room door.
"Is this your first child?" The two families waiting over there could tell from their clothes that this family was well-off.
There was complete silence; it seemed that none of the male members of the Li family had heard anything.
"Yes, first child." Grandma Guo looked at the group of people and finally spoke up out of necessity. Having someone to talk to could distract her a little.
"Your family won't be that fast. My daughter-in-law is pregnant with her third child. She'll probably give birth soon. You don't know how amazing my daughter-in-law is. She probably did a lot during her pregnancy."
"If you ask me, that's how it should be. You can't spoil them too much. Which woman hasn't gone through this? The men in your family should go do what they're supposed to do."
"They can't just sit here and do nothing while a woman gives birth, can they? What kind of logic is that?"
The old woman saw that only her husband was guarding the door, which she found outrageous.
She didn't let her son come, and sent him home to rest early. Not to mention her husband, why would he come to join in the fun while his wife is giving birth?
But this family is different. She's been wanting to speak up for a long time, seeing several generations of them staying here.
"What's it to you?" Old Mrs. Guo was already upset, and hearing her words made her even angrier.
"I'm doing this for your own good, aren't I? How can you not distinguish between good and bad?" The woman was taken aback.
"Do I even know you? If we were to ask you to do what's best for us, even if eight hundred men were waiting here, it wouldn't be your problem."
Grandma Guo felt truly sorry for the women giving birth inside, not knowing when it started.
Women began to sing praises of suffering and compare who was still working before giving birth.
The more you do, the more proud you feel, especially those born and raised in the countryside who feel incredibly proud.
Going back to work immediately after giving birth seems like something to be praised, even though Grandma Guo knows that childbirth is a major event in a woman's life.
There's no such thing as being too delicate; if you don't take good care of your health, it'll affect you for life. Hearing her say that made me even more disgusted.
"Fine, you don't appreciate kindness. You can wait all you want." The woman thought the family was being unreasonable.
He went back and chatted with the family over there.
How many children do you have? Which of your wives gave birth to this one?
"My second son's wife is pregnant with my second child. I'm unlucky; I've had three sons and three daughters. I'm really afraid this one will also be a girl."
"Then you must have a hard life. I have two sons, and my daughter-in-law is the third one. My eldest son has one son and one daughter."
"The younger one also has a boy on top, and I had someone calculate the gestation period for the one in my belly, and it's also a boy. So I'll have three grandsons now."
"You're really lucky, unlike me, all of us are barren, and I still have to take care of her."
The two women seemed to have hit it off immediately, chatting away about everyday things.
He disliked his daughters-in-law in every way, even after they gave birth to his grandson, and implied that their only purpose was to give birth.
Just as Li Baichuan and the others were getting impatient and annoyed by the noise around them, the door to the delivery room finally opened.
