Chapter 390 She's about to give birth; she's having quintuplets!

Those official roads were only paved with sand and gravel, while Lin Luoxi paved the roads directly with thick bricks and stones, which would have been much more expensive.

When they build their own houses, they are reluctant to use bricks and stones to pave the ground.

Yes, if they were to pry up all the bricks and stones from this road and use them to pave their own bridges, wouldn't that be...?

However, they found a note written at the bottom of the boulder that anyone who discovers the person who has damaged this road can report it and will be rewarded with fifty taels of silver.

Those who damage the road will be fined one hundred taels of silver each time, and will also have their hands or feet cut off as punishment.

After seeing the following message, everyone felt a chill run down their spines; it was truly ruthless.

Meanwhile, Lin Luoxi, who was the subject of everyone's discussion, was currently enjoying hot pot with her family in her own courtyard, sporting a large pregnant belly.

"Daughter, you're almost due, is it really okay for you to eat such a spicy hot pot?" Madam Lin looked at Lin Luoxi's exaggeratedly large belly with a worried expression.

Despite her worries, her chopsticks never stopped; she picked up slices of fatty beef and dipped them in the pot of bright red chili oil.

"It's alright, Mother. If I don't eat now, I don't know when I'll be able to..."

"Ah..." Before Lin Luoxi could finish speaking, a sharp pain shot through her stomach, and she could barely hold her chopsticks.

"Daughter, you can't be naughty. Let your mother have a good chat first..." Lin Luoxi felt the baby move and contractions, knowing that she was about to give birth.

But seeing so many hot pot ingredients prepared on the table, it would be such a waste not to eat them after all the time she had spent preparing them.

Perhaps it was because the baby in her belly was understanding, but as soon as Lin Luoxi finished speaking, her stomach pain stopped.

After recovering, Lin Luoxi ate hot pot much faster.

"Oh dear, you silly girl, even at a time like this you're still thinking about food..."

As Lin Luoxi's mentor, Dr. Yang stayed by her side as her pregnancy progressed, except when he went home to sleep at night.

Dr. Yang's actions inspired the Lin family to follow suit.

The Lin family also had a pregnant woman named Li Muqing. Since their due dates were around the same, they simply arranged for them to stay in the same courtyard.

If anything happens, Dr. Yang can quickly arrive at the scene.

Seeing Lin Luoxi eating like a starving ghost, Doctor Yang was filled with worry as he looked at Lin Luoxi's enormous belly.

Meanwhile, Xie Hanchuan, Lin Luoxi's husband, stayed by her side the whole time, staring at her intently.

If they notice anything wrong with Lin Luoxi, they immediately carry her back.

"Ah..." It must have been the children who came up with the idea. They fed Lin Luoxi until she was half full, and the familiar contractions started again.

Lin Luoxi was in so much pain that she couldn't even eat hotpot anymore; she held her sagging belly with both hands.

"Wife, bear with it, I'll carry you back..." Xie Hanchuan saw Lin Luoxi's pained expression, immediately picked her up and carried her quickly to the room.

Three midwives had been prepared at home and were invited to Lin Luoxi's room.

"ah…"

"ah…"

With each contraction, the fetus struggled to push outwards. No matter how strong Lin Luoxi was, she couldn't withstand the contractions and screamed in agony as her pelvis was stretched.

As the pain shot through her lower body, Lin Luoxi cursed Xie Hanchuan a thousand times in her mind.

We agreed not to let her get pregnant so soon, but now she has to endure the pain of childbirth.

"Why is it so painful?" Xie Hanchuan, who was standing guard outside, felt his heart jump when he heard Lin Luoxi's screams.

He paced anxiously at the doorway, wanting to rush in and stand by Lin Luoxi.

Not only Xie Hanchuan was worried about Lin Luoxi in the room, but Lin Dayou and his wife, Lin Lingtian and his wife, Lin Jize and others also crowded Lin Luoxi's courtyard.

Even Xiao Jingchen came and sat with the Lin family. Listening to Lin Luoxi's screams, he was so nervous that he almost broke the fan he was holding.

Li Muqing wasn't due to give birth anytime soon, but hearing Lin Luoxi's screams coming from the room made her very nervous; she felt like she was about to give birth herself.

From noon to dusk, and then to the bright lights, as Lin Luoxi's screams inside the room grew weaker and weaker, everyone remained on edge.

"Quickly, quickly, Granny Yun, go and fetch that thousand-year-old ginseng from my room..."

Su Xue'er heard Lin Luoxi's voice getting weaker and weaker, and fearing that something had happened to Lin Luoxi, she quickly told her maid, Ayun, to go back and get some ginseng.

"Oh, oh, I'm going right now..." Granny Yun, who already regarded Lin Luoxi as her own granddaughter, was also extremely worried at this moment.

Now that Su Xue'er has spoken, he jogged back to get it.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing that there was a thousand-year-old ginseng.

Granny Ayun returned quickly, hurriedly carrying a ginseng root as thick as a baby's arm, and dashed into the delivery room.

Inside the delivery room, Dr. Yang, who knew that Lin Luoxi was pregnant with twins and triplets, was genuinely worried that something might happen to her.

When he noticed something was wrong, he used silver needles to relieve Lin Luoxi's pain.

But seeing Lin Luoxi's spirits gradually wilting, Doctor Yang's heart pounded.

"The thousand-year-old ginseng has arrived! The thousand-year-old ginseng has arrived..." Just as Doctor Yang was about to perform a cesarean section on Lin Luoxi, Granny Ayun rushed in with the ginseng.

"Give it to me!" Upon hearing about the thousand-year-old ginseng, Doctor Yang's expression softened. He stood up and snatched the ginseng from Granny Yun's hand.

He walked to the table, cut a slice of ginseng, and stuffed it into Lin Luoxi's mouth.

With the ginseng slice in her mouth, Lin Luoxi regained some energy, and her intelligence finally returned.

"Master, I want to drink some water..." Lin Luoxi pointed to the teapot on the table, wanting Doctor Yang to pour her some water.

She vaguely knew that she was going to give birth in the next couple of days, and she had already prepared the spiritual water in her space.

However, it was her first time giving birth, and the pain was so intense that she completely forgot she had the spiritual water in her space.

Now that he has a fragment in his mouth, his intelligence has finally returned.

"Okay, okay, I'll pour you some..." Seeing that Lin Luoxi still had the energy to let him pour her some water, Doctor Yang stood up happily and came over with the small teapot on the table.

When the thoughtful Granny Ayun saw Doctor Yang bring over the teapot, she immediately sat down by the bed and helped Lin Luoxi up.

Lin Luoxi saw the teapot right in front of her and started drinking from the spout in big gulps.

"Alright!" Lin Luoxi stopped drinking water only after realizing that her body was recovering.

Seeing that Lin Luoxi's complexion had returned to normal, everyone in the room assumed that the fragment had worked.

Seeing that Lin Luoxi was in good spirits, Dr. Yang and Granny Ayun left the delivery room reassured and waited for the good news of Lin Luoxi's successful delivery.

"Ah!" After drinking the space water, Lin Luoxi felt full of strength and began to exert herself.
