Shitou clasped his hands and hugged Shen Siyue tightly: “Wife, I don’t know why I am scared every time you say these words.”
"These words make me feel as if you are not from this world and you may leave me at any time."
"You have to promise me that you will never leave me, okay?"
Stone really feels that way.
If you asked him to give a reason, he couldn't give it.
Shen Siyue looked at him with a smile: "Please put your heart in your stomach. Can I disappear out of thin air?"
"Even if God wants to take me to another world, I will fight him for three hundred rounds and then stay with you."
Although what Shen Siyue said seemed to be a joke, it was the truest thought in her heart.
Time passed day by day with the sweet and warm relationship between the two.
By mid-August, Li Xiaoqin's stomach started to move.
The birth of the child should have been done in advance by finding a rural midwife, but Chen Qiushu looked for several and none of them were willing to come.
Li Xiaoqin was so angry that she cried and beat Chen Qiushu at home: "It's all your family's fault. Look at the situation now. Even a midwife is unwilling to come. Can you imagine the bad reputation of your family in the neighborhood?"
Chen Qiushu suppressed his impatience and comforted her: "What can I do? Is this my fault?"
"Don't worry, the midwife just delivered a few more babies."
"Our eldest and second sisters-in-law have both given birth to children, so why not let them help you when the time comes!"
Li Xiang also quickly assured: "Yes, yes, with my sister-in-law and I here, we will definitely ensure that you give birth to a big fat boy smoothly."
However, she didn't expect that Li Xiaoqin, who had been very kind to her during this period, suddenly changed her expression.
"Well, second sister-in-law, when I give birth, you can help me boil water in the outer room, and let the eldest sister-in-law come inside, after all, she has given birth to three children."
At first, Li Xiang didn't understand: "It will only take a while to boil water. I will encourage you when the time comes. Giving birth is not something you can do by just pushing hard."
Seeing that she didn't understand what she meant at all, Li Xiaoqin could only clarify and said, "Second sister-in-law, I want to pick a good start for giving birth. My eldest sister-in-law gave birth to three children and everything was fine. You..."
Although she didn't finish her words, Li Xiaoqin's meaning was self-evident.
Li Xiang only gave birth to a girl, Shen Siyue, and her health deteriorated and she could not have any more children.
This made Li Xiaoqin feel very uncomfortable.
She was afraid that Li Xiang's bad luck would be passed on to her.
I want to have a boy at once, and have several sons!
Li Xiang: “…”
When she understood, her face instantly turned red.
She felt embarrassed, wronged, and deeply sad.
Her nose was sore and tears filled her eyes, but she suppressed her embarrassment and forced a smile: "Yes, yes, you are right, I should really stay away from it."
So, when Li Xiaoqin began to feel stomach pain, Li Xiang had been standing in the outer room, not even daring to lift the door curtain to take a look.
She hoped that this baby would be a boy even more than Li Xiaoqin did.
This way she was one step closer to her son.
It was morning when Li Xiaoqin started the attack. There were only three women at home, as well as Shen Weimin who was unable to move. Even Shen Qiushu was not at home.
Although Li Xiaoqin was very dissatisfied, she really had no choice.
If Chen Qiushu cannot go to work, then the only person in the entire Shen family who can earn ten work points is Chen Chunshu.
In this family, someone either has a broken leg or someone is injured, and they hardly ever have time to go to work.
Then she had to stay in confinement for a month and couldn't get out of bed.
If this continues, how much grain will the Shen family get when the grain is distributed at the end of the year?
Li Xiaoqin estimated that the Shen family had been in trouble for the past six months. If they didn't find a way to earn more, they would starve soon after winter began.
So even though she felt aggrieved, she had to follow Chen Qiushu to work.
No one knew whether it was because of her poor health or the abnormal fetal position, but Li Xiaoqin was unable to give birth for a long time.
The tearing pain in her lower body made her throat hoarse from shouting.
Wang Huilian was so anxious that sweat covered her forehead. "Stop crying and save your energy! Giving birth is a slow process and sometimes you have to push hard!"
After saying that, he sighed again.
At this time, the mother needs to eat something good to replenish her strength.
At that time, she and Li Xiang still had two or three eggs to eat!
When it was Li Xiaoqin's turn, she didn't even have a bowl of brown sugar water. How pitiful!
At noon, everyone who went to work returned, but Li Xiaoqin had not given birth yet!
Listening to her hoarse howls, Shen Qiushu began to worry for the first time.
He stood at the door of the small east room and asked worriedly through the curtain: "How is it? Why hasn't the baby been born yet?"
Li Xiang, who was equally anxious, didn't know whether she was comforting Shen Qiushu or herself: "Women are like this when giving birth, don't worry, it will be fine."
But her words did not comfort Shen Qiushu.
Especially since these words came from Li Xiang's mouth, they were even less credible.
After all, Li Xiang saved her life by going to the town when she gave birth.
In the afternoon, Shen Qiushu left with worry.
It was not until I got home from work in the evening that I heard a baby crying at the gate of the yard.
Chen Qiushu was overjoyed: "It's born, it's born, is it a son? Let me see it quickly." Then he ran to the small east room.
In the room, Li Xiaoqin, with a cloth strip tied on her forehead, was clumsily feeding her baby with the help of Li Xiang.
Seeing Chen Qiushu coming in, Li Xiang said to him with a smile on her face: "Congratulations on becoming a father. Xiaoqin gave birth to a son for you. You will have an heir now!"
Chen Qiushu was about to hug the wrapped child with trembling hands: "Let me see quickly, does he look like me?"
"Oh my god, why are you so ugly?"
Shen Qiushu's fatherly love disappeared the moment he saw the child.
The child's face was red and wrinkled like a little old man.
Li Xiang laughed at him: "All babies are like this when they are born. They will be fine when they grow up."
In Li Xiang's eyes, this child is good in every way except that he is a little thin, especially his little penis.
After a while, Li Xiang wanted to lift the quilt to take a look.
I’m afraid that everything in front of me is just a dream.
The arrival of this child finally dispelled some of the gloom that had been plaguing the Shen family for days.
Chen Qiushu sent a letter to Li Xiaoqin's parents' home.
On the third day, Zhang Guilan came to Shen's house carrying a small basket.
Wang Huilian, as the eldest sister-in-law, received her: "Auntie, please come and sit on the kang. Xiaoqin is waiting for you!"
Zhang Guilan was not very enthusiastic towards Wang Huilian: "You should take a rest. I will just chat with Xiaoqin."
Wang Huilian's face paused, knowing that Zhang Guilan and her daughter wanted to tell each other something in private.
"Then you guys keep chatting, I'll go clean up the house."
Zhang Guilan waited until Wang Huilian left, then quickly approached Li Xiaoqin and whispered to her, "Stay away from your sister-in-law, don't let her lead you astray."
