Chapter 219 Jiang Chao

Jiang's mother gave the midwife a purse, which the midwife took and used to pad her face, her wrinkles deepening into a smile.

"Oh my, you're too kind. I've delivered so many babies, and this is the most I've ever received in compensation. Your family is so lucky to have so many children and grandchildren. The first one is a grandson, and there will be many more to come."

Jiang Cheng disagreed: "What's the point of having so many sons? I only love my daughters and granddaughters. If it's a granddaughter, I'll give you even more money for your hard work."

The midwife was taken aback; this was truly the first time she had encountered such a family, who actually craved a girl!

"This...wouldn't it be better to have a boy? Other families have had many daughters, and they're all jealous of your three sons."

Jiang's mother smiled and said, "We love our grandsons and granddaughters equally, but girls are more obedient, sensible, and lovable, so our family hopes for more girls."

The midwife smiled. The fact that the family valued the daughter showed that they were kind-hearted. After all, in this day and age, women depend on men for their livelihood. Who wouldn't want more men in the family to make a better living?

The midwife happily left with the lucky money. Jiang Mi also went to check on her nephew and Su Yindi. Seeing that they were both alright, her tense mood disappeared. By this time, the sky was beginning to brighten, and she was no longer sleepy.

Jiang's mother felt sorry for her daughter: "Honey, why don't you go to sleep for a while? You can eat something when you wake up, or you can eat something before you go to sleep."

Jiang Mi shook her head. Everyone had been busy all night, and she was the only one who was relatively relaxed. Everyone else was exhausted. Seeing the fatigue on everyone's faces, Jiang Mi advised them, "Everyone, stop working and go to sleep. You haven't slept all night. If you sleep for half a day, your third sister-in-law will probably wake up by then. We can all have something good to eat together."

Jiang's mother agreed: "Yes, you all go to sleep. I'll stay here and watch over things. I'll go to sleep after you've all woken up."

Liu He and Liang Lan were both unwilling.

"Mother, you're so old, you can't keep going like this. Go and rest. I'll take care of things. Second sister-in-law, you should go and rest too."

Liang Lan refused, saying, "Oh, I don't usually get much sleep, so it's okay if I sleep a little less. You guys go to sleep first, I'll keep an eye on Yindi."

Jiang's mother didn't let them continue to offer their things back and simply pushed them back.

"Alright, neither of you has ever had children, so there's no point in you staying here. You don't know what to do, so you might as well go and rest. When you're feeling better, you can take over for me."

Hearing what Jiang's mother said, everyone stopped insisting and went back to sleep.

Jiang Mi couldn't sleep in bed, so she got up, washed her face, and then cooked some porridge like her mother did, serving it to her mother and Jiang Zhi.

Su Yindi was still asleep when Jiang's mother saw her daughter bring in porridge. She hurriedly took it in surprise and said, "My little darling, why did you bring this? How did you make this? Did you burn your hands?"

Jiang Mi shook her head. That's how her mother spoiled her, never letting her do anything.

"I'm fine. I just made some porridge. It's so simple. I don't know how to make anything else. You guys have some to tide you over. There's more in the pot. You can have some when you wake up to warm yourselves up."

Jiang's mother said with relief, "My good daughter knows how to care for her mother now. No matter how the porridge tastes, I will drink it."

Jiang Mi said helplessly, "Mom, I've tried them all, and they taste alright. You should drink them."

Hearing Jiang Mi say this, Jiang's mother quickly took a sip, and her eyes immediately lit up: "Oh my, it's really good! My honey is so amazing, so smart, and she does everything so well. She truly deserves to be my precious daughter."

Jiang Zhi's excitement finally subsided a little. He said softly, "Although it's not a daughter, I'm very disappointed, but the mother and child are both safe and healthy, and I'm already very satisfied."

Jiang's mother comforted him, "It's alright, you're both young. You can have daughters later. This is the first grandson of our Jiang family, so we should give him a good name."

Jiang Zhi looked at Jiang Cheng with anticipation: "Dad, please name your eldest grandson."

Jiang Cheng also had a face full of...

He was nervous: "I...I haven't studied much, how should I name it? You're an educated person, why don't you name it?"

Jiang Zhi insisted that Jiang Cheng take the name: "Dad, you should do it. I've studied so much thanks to you and Mother's upbringing. Didn't you also name us? And now we're doing just as well."

Hearing his son's words, Jiang Cheng felt more confident. He glanced at the rising sun outside and said, "He is the first male in our Jiang family. Since he was born at sunrise, let's name him Jiang Chao."

Jiang's mother pursed her lips: "When did you become so eloquent? You speak so politely."

Jiang Cheng was a little embarrassed: "Our family is about to produce officials, so we naturally have to choose good names. We can't choose names like cats or dogs. My four children all have good names, so my grandson's name should be good too."

Jiang Zhi was very happy and said excitedly, "Good, very good, Jiang Chao, that's great. Maybe he will have a bright future."

Jiang Zhi looked at his son and smiled contentedly.

At this moment, Su Yindi slowly woke up. A group of people went up to her and asked her how she was doing. Su Yindi looked at her sleeping son and shed tears of happiness.

Jiang Zhi held his wife's hand: "Yin Di, our son has a name. His father just named him Jiang Chao, which means to rise slowly like the rising sun."

Su Yindi nodded: "Thank you, Father. Thank you, Mother."

Jiang Mi couldn't help but tear up at the heartwarming scene; this is what home should be like.

When Su Yindi fell asleep again, Liu He and Liang Lan came out. Jiang's mother then cooked a meal for the family. After everyone ate, she and Jiang Cheng went to rest.

Jiang Mi, however, was not sleepy at all, perhaps because she was too sleepy. This time, Su Yindi's premature birth was inextricably linked to the Su family. She needed to get the Su family to write a certificate stating that they had no relation to Su Yindi, otherwise they would definitely continue to cause trouble later.

However, even with the documents, they are of little use to this shameless family, except perhaps when it comes to litigation.

She went to check on the field again, and the crops were growing well. She could earn some money again in the spring after winter.

I don't know if Huo Ran will come to ask for it this time, but we can't rely on him for everything. It would be best if it could be sold in the market and into the hands of ordinary people. Only then can we prove that the crops she grows are good.

When she returned, she saw that the fields of Qingyun Village were very desolate. It was not like this before. How did it become like this now?
