"Ah! My stomach hurts so much..."
Tian Liping cried out in pain, and Gu Qingmeng quickly pulled Gu Guodong and Gu Guoliang out of the room. One reason was that she was afraid of scaring them, and the other was that it was really inappropriate for young boys to be in there, even though the man was sending their mother.
"Sister, why is she like this? That's her child!"
Gu Guodong looked at Gu Qingmeng with red eyes. He wanted to get an answer from his sister. He couldn't understand why his mother did this.
"Be good, go drink some hot water and don't think about anything stupid! Adults should handle adult matters. Daddy is here."
Gu Qingmeng didn't know how to comfort her two younger brothers. Guodong even saw Tian Liping taking medicine. They must have been scared by what happened that night?
"Qingqing, I've invited someone here. She's the most famous midwife in town."
Pei Xinghe was covered in a thick layer of snow. Gu Qingmeng quickly invited him in and poured hot water for him to wash his hands.
"How many months have you been pregnant? Is this your first child?" the midwife asked while washing her hands.
"Second child, more than six months pregnant."
Gu Qingmeng clearly felt the midwife pause while washing her hands. In the end, she said nothing and went into the west room with the tool kit she brought.
Then came the sound of Gu Jun being chased out. Gu Qingmeng didn't even look at him. She boiled a pot of water in a big pot. Hot water would be needed no matter what the situation was.
Gu Qingmeng asked her cousin Fu Hang to take Fu Yu and the others back to rest. Tian Liping was in labor and it would not be over in a short time, so there was no point in them waiting here.
Gu Huaian didn't sleep and sat on the kang smoking. The brothers Gu Guodong and Gu Guoliang sat at the door waiting, while Gu Jun leaned against the wall, wondering what he was thinking about.
Gu Qingmeng and Pei Xinghe sat opposite Gu Huaian. Occasionally, they could hear Tian Liping's cries of pain in the room. Several basins of blood were brought out, and she was a little scared just looking at it.
"Don't be afraid. When you give birth, we'll go directly to the city hospital. We guarantee there won't be any danger."
Pei Xinghe held his wife's hand tightly. If nothing else, he was actually a little scared. Is giving birth so scary? Then he didn't have to have a child.
After all, there is no throne to inherit in the family.
"Wow..."
The whimpering sound of a baby kitten was particularly noticeable on this snowy night, penetrating the walls and striking everyone's heart.
"Brother, my mother gave birth and is alive. My sister is still alive."
Gu Guoliang was overjoyed when he heard the voice. He had always thought his sister was dead! Unexpectedly, she was still alive.
"Well, my sister is still alive."
Gu Guodong subconsciously looked at Gu Qingmeng, and seeing that his sister didn't look happy at all, his heart, which had just risen, sank to the bottom in an instant.
"Oh, my child, my poor child, you..."
Soon, Tian Liping's cries were heard.
"Don't get too excited, maternal mother! How can a fetus that's over six months old be alive? Take good care of yourself and you'll have another baby."
Gu Qingmeng stood up and looked at the door of the west room. She couldn't explain how she felt at the moment. They all knew that the child would not survive, but the feeling was different after hearing her cry.
She thought Tian Liping must be regretting it at this moment!
I can't forget it once I see it, especially when it's still alive.
"The woman is bleeding heavily, hurry up and send her to the city hospital!"
The midwife ran out and said, then she realized that it was snowing heavily outside, so how could there be a car to go to the city?
Their hospital in Gaoling County had no plasma and could not provide blood transfusions. She knew that the mother was in great danger.
"Auntie, can my dad and the others go in and take a look? Could you please clean it up?"
She was shocked to hear that Tian Liping was bleeding heavily. Gu Qingmeng knew that she would not be able to survive this New Year. The medical conditions of the hospital in the town were average. Now it was snowing heavily and they could not go to the city. Even if they could go, they could not survive this journey.
The last thing she could do at the moment was to clean up the person and let her meet her brother and others in a decent manner.
"As I should. I'll go clean it up right away."
About twenty minutes later, the midwife came out again and nodded to Gu Qingmeng.
Gu Qingmeng asked Gu Jun to take Gu Guodong and Gu Guoliang in to meet the person. She took out a big unity note and handed it to the midwife, and then asked Pei Xinghe to send the people back.
When she reached the door, she saw Tian Liping gently dressing the baby covered in bruises.
Her face was pale, and Gu Qingmeng felt a little reluctant to look at her. Ever since she saw Tian Liping again in Peijiagou, she had disliked her.
She thought about killing the Tian family, but she never thought about killing Tian Liping.
"Old Gu, please bury me with the child! I'm sorry, it's all my fault."
She gave up her daughter for the sake of her family. This daughter was the treasure she had been waiting for for more than ten years. Now that she can't survive, it's also good. She should go and accompany her daughter.
How scared it must be for my daughter to walk alone at such a young age!
"Mengmeng, I'm leaving Guodong and Guoliang in your care. I know I'll take good care of them! I'm also leaving your father in your care. Don't blame him for being soft-hearted. You're the one he loves the most."
"Guodong and Guoliang, I know I was wrong. I will stay with my sister from now on and let Dad stay with you."
"Old Gu, I'm sorry!"
After saying this, Tian Liping fell beside the baby. She regretted that she shouldn't have only the Tian family in her heart, but she knew it was too late to regret.
"mom......"
"mom......"
"Liping, Liping..."
Tears slid down her cheeks quietly, and memories came flooding back like a tide. Gu Qingmeng remembered that when Tian Liping first married into the Gu family, she was very cautious and kind to her, always trying to please her.
Later, when her younger brothers were born, she was still as kind to her as before. She knew that this was because she was favored and also because she had control of the money.
Tian Liping was not a bad person at that time, otherwise if an adult wanted to make things difficult for her, they would have plenty of ways to do it.
Tian Liping always puts her mother's family first, no matter if it's right or wrong... forget it, there's no point in saying this now that she's gone.
Gu Qingmeng knew nothing about funerals at that time. In later generations, there were one-stop funeral services. What rules did she not understand at that time?
"Wait for Xinghe to come back!"
Gu Huaian sighed, and after saying this, he returned to the east room. The old man seemed to have aged several years in an instant.
When Pei Xinghe came back, he took Gu Jun out. In the middle of the night, people came to the house. Some of them Gu Qingmeng knew, and some she didn't, but she knew that most of them were Pei Xinghe's friends.
Pei Zhendong also came. With everyone's help, Tian Liping was buried on the first day of the Lunar New Year in the mountains west of Gaoling County.
