"Xiaoyun, Xiaoyun, how is she?"
When Chen Tiezhu saw Jiang Yimian come in, he immediately opened his eyes wide and asked worriedly.
The man's face had gained some weight in recent days, but he was still thin. His sunken cheeks barely showed any flesh. Now, in his anxiety, his face contorted, and he looked somewhat frightened.
Jiang Yimian only reassured him, "Uncle Tiezhu, don't worry. Auntie is going to give birth in the next few days, so she should be fine. You should still be careful not to fall off the bed and hurt yourself, otherwise Auntie won't be able to give birth in peace."
Old Liu quickly chimed in, "That's right, Tiezhu, don't worry about it. Xiaoyun will be fine. Even if you don't believe me, you should at least believe Yimian."
If she says she's okay, then she's definitely okay.
Chen Tiezhu nodded slowly, but he was still extremely anxious. However, when he heard the shouting again, he stopped pressing the person for answers.
The children had already been sent to the Jiang family by Liu Dayong, for fear that they would be frightened.
Everyone waited anxiously outside.
Wang Fengqin and Zhao Xing'er were also sweating profusely in the house, and they only breathed a sigh of relief when they could vaguely see the child's head.
"Xiaoyun, almost there, almost there! We can see the baby's head! Give it your all!"
Those outside had no idea what was happening inside; all they could hear were even louder screams.
Chen Tiezhu was getting restless, but he couldn't move. He had used up most of his strength leaning against the wall. Just as he was getting anxious, he saw Jiang Yimian come out carrying a basin of bloody water. He was immediately terrified, especially with Liu Xiaoyun's heart-wrenching screams in his ears.
This made him even more anxious, but then he remembered that Jiang Yimian had said the other person was fine, so he could only suppress his anxiety and press himself tightly against the wall to listen to what was happening next to him.
The people inside were busy, and the people outside were also waiting anxiously. They waited from noon until the sun set, and finally they heard a clear cry of a baby.
"Waaah!"
The tension that had been building up finally eased.
When Jiang Yimian saw Wang Fengqin carrying the child out, she quickly went to greet her, only to see a wrinkled, red-faced little child.
"It's alright, Xiaoyun is fine, mother and child are safe. I'll take the child to Tiezhu to have him checked."
After saying that, Wang Fengqin took the child and went to Chen Tiezhu's house.
Chen Tiezhu had breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the baby crying. When he saw Wang Fengqin come in, he quickly asked, "How is Xiaoyun? Is she alright?"
Wang Fengqin shook her head and said with a smile, "It's all fine. Look, Xiaoyun gave birth to a son for you. Look how handsome he is."
Chen Tiezhu was overjoyed, repeatedly saying, "It's good that you're alright, it's good that you're alright."
When she saw the child in the other person's arms, she became excited again and tried to sit up in bed, but she had no strength left.
Wang Fengqin quickly said, "Oh dear, stop moving! Be careful not to fall. I'll bring it over for you to see."
After saying that, she handed the child in her hand to Chen Tiezhu.
Chen Tiezhu cautiously turned to look at the child, and tears welled up in his eyes.
It's all his fault for making Xiaoyun suffer so much. He must get better soon so that Xiaoyun won't have to suffer so much anymore. He was wrong before, getting stuck in illness and burdening them. He won't do it again.
Seeing that everyone's attention was on the child, Jiang Yimian sneaked into the house. She found that Liu Xiaoyun was already asleep from exhaustion. She checked Liu Xiaoyun's pulse and breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that everything was alright.
Hearing the screams and seeing basin after basin of bloody water, she was genuinely frightened, fearing something might happen to Liu Xiaoyun.
Fortunately, both mother and child are safe.
The situation was so urgent that everyone didn't even have time to eat, and now that they've relaxed, they're all starving.
Wang Fengqin quickly invited everyone to her home for lunch, which turned into a celebration dinner for Liu Xiaoyun's successful delivery.
After the meal, everyone went home. Wang Fengqin took the food to the Chen family's house, where only Jiang Yimian and the two children were staying.
The two little ones were so frightened by Liu Xiaoyun's childbirth that afternoon that they didn't eat dinner properly. When their mother wasn't around, the two little ones cautiously approached Jiang Yimian and asked her what was wrong.
"Sister, is Aunt Xiaoyun alright? I heard some really scary screams this afternoon."
The little guy's face was still pale, clearly he was terrified.
Ono wasn't much better; after all, he was just a child. No matter how much he acted like a little adult, he was still only a child of a few years old.
Jiang Yimian reached out and rubbed the two little ones' heads before saying seriously, "Aunt Xiaoyun is fine. She just cried out because it hurt when she was giving birth."
Xiao Nuan'er sniffed, thought for a moment, and then said, "Does it hurt a lot? More than when Xiao Nuan'er fell?"
She fell down last time, and her hand bled. She cried for a long, long time because of the pain.
Jiang Yimian nodded, "Yes, it hurts a lot, much more than when Xiao Nuan'er fell. Mother felt the same way when she gave birth to us, it was very hard."
Giving birth is like passing through the gates of hell for a woman, especially in ancient times when medical care was underdeveloped, it was extremely difficult for a woman to give birth safely.
When the two little ones heard that their mother had given birth to them in the same way, their eyes immediately welled up with tears.
"Was Mother in pain back then? Little Nuan'er will definitely be good from now on, and will not make Mother angry or cause her pain."
Ono nodded quickly, "Mother must have felt the same way as Aunt Xiaoyun back then. We must listen to Mother."
Seeing the two little ones' serious expressions, Jiang Yimian smiled and pinched their cheeks.
Actually, Xiao Ye and Xiao Nuan'er are already very obedient. They usually help their mother with chores and are not mischievous.
However, it's good to let them know how difficult it is to be a mother.
As a result, the two little ones started chasing each other around as soon as Wang Fengqin returned, leaving Wang Fengqin completely confused.

For several days in a row, the sun scorched the ground, making the grass wilt.
Jiang Yimian didn't go out much, because the vegetables in her small garden had already grown. She could usually just pick some green beans and some wild vegetables from the small depression.
These past few days she's been wandering around the small depression and taking Liu Xiaoyun's pulse.
I went to the Chen family early this morning and heard that loud crying.
Jiang Yimian could only marvel at how energetic children are; even their crying was incredibly loud.
As soon as I entered the house, I saw Gou Sheng frantically trying to soothe the baby in his swaddling clothes. He was extremely anxious. "Mommy, is my little brother hungry? Why does he keep crying? He cries as soon as I hold him."
Liu Xiaoyun laughed from the side, "You're covering your brother, of course he's crying. Give me the child."
Gou Sheng nodded hurriedly and quickly handed over the hot potato in his hand.
He turned around and saw Jiang Yimian standing at the door. He quickly greeted her, "Sister Yimian, come in and sit down. My little brother has grown up and looks so handsome. Look!"
