Chapter 1219 Life and death are not in our control
Xia Qiu pointed outside: "Aunt Qu from next door is helping to hold it."
Qiu Shaofeng followed her out of the yard: "I'll watch over the son, you go and help your sister-in-law out."
When Xia Qiu ran over, she saw her brother-in-law Qiu Shaocheng hurriedly carrying An Xiaojing out and putting her on a cart in the yard.
She took the maternity bag from her mother-in-law and put it in the car, saying, "Mom, I'll go with you to the clinic with Xiaojing. Shaomei doesn't need to go."
Thinking that Shao Mei was still unmarried, Qiu's mother said, "Alright, then let her stay."
Qiu Shaomei naturally overheard her mother's conversation with her sister-in-law: "Sister-in-law, you go with Mom. I'll stay home and look after Junjun."
Many neighbors outside saw them come out and asked, "Qiushui, is your second wife about to give birth?"
Mrs. Qiu was in no mood for small talk and simply replied with one word: "Yes."
An Xiaojing suddenly grabbed Qiu's mother's hand: "Mom, can I... can I ask the doctor to let me have the baby later?"
Mrs. Qiu frowned: "When the baby is born is beyond the doctor's control. Don't overthink it."
An Xiaojing was very uneasy: "But what if he gives birth and my great-grandmother is gone? Won't people use that against me?"
To comfort her, Qiu's mother said, "Your great-grandmother is already very old. Life and death are beyond our control. Don't think too much about it."
Regardless of what An Xiaojing thought, she was rushed to the delivery room after arriving at the health center, and after three hours of waiting, she finally gave birth to a boy.
And what you fear most is what comes your way; not long after he gave birth, Qiu's great-grandmother also passed away.
Xia Qiu immediately called Xiao's father: "Dad, I can't come these next few days. My great-grandmother is being buried in three days."
When Mr. Xiao heard that Grandma Qiu had passed away, he was shocked: "She was fine before, how could she just be gone like that?"
Xia Qiu sighed, "Grandma is already quite old, and she fell a few days ago, so she's not feeling well at all."
Just before hanging up, Xia Qiu told Xiao's father that her sister-in-law had given birth to a boy.
After Xiao's father got home from get off work, he told him about the Qiu family's situation.
Upon hearing this, Xiao's mother said, "Then you should contact Chuxue, and you two can go together."
Mr. Xiao's face turned cold: "She's pregnant now, it's not appropriate for her to go. I'll go by myself."
After thinking for a moment, Xiao's mother said, "It's fine if she doesn't go. Then you can have Yancheng accompany you."
Mr. Xiao naturally understood that she wanted to support Xia Qiu: "Don't worry about this. I'll call him later and see if he has time to talk about it."
Miao Yiqiu overheard their conversation and suggested, "Call your older brother later and see if either Wan Cheng or Wan Peng has time to go with you."
Upon hearing this, Xiao's mother's eyes lit up: "That's right, how could I have forgotten about them? As their cousin, it would be most appropriate for him to go over here."
However, Xiao's father still made a phone call to Fu Yancheng.
Fu Yancheng, who rushed over from Instructor Guo's wedding to answer the phone, asked about the date and said, "Okay, I'll take the day off to go with you. Don't let Chuxue go."
After things were settled, Xiao's father called his eldest brother again.
After listening, Xiao Changjiang said, "Okay, we'll discuss it later and get back to you tomorrow morning."
When Fu Yancheng returned after receiving the phone call, Chu Xue had already become friends with the other military wives he knew.
Mo Ruhua nudged Chu Xue with her elbow: "Your man is looking at you."
Chu Xue looked up at her: "Have you finished your call?"
Fu Yancheng approached her and lowered his voice, saying, "It was your father calling."
Chu Xue asked curiously, "Did he call because he needed something?"
