Zhou Amei obediently went to find Grandma Zhang. Ye Xiaoxiao returned to the house and tidied up her kang (heated brick bed).
She found an oilcloth and laid it on top. Her second aunt had taught her to do this.
As soon as the bedding was laid down, a wave of pain hit her. Ye Xiaoxiao felt her legs go weak.
Grandma Zhang was feeding the chickens in the yard when she heard Zhou Amei calling her. She quickly put down the basin and said, "Come on, hurry over."
Ye Xiaoxiao was in waves of pain. She gritted her teeth and said:
[System, that bastard Li Chenyang! We agreed to go to the hospital to give birth, but now he's vanished. Do you think I might not be able to give birth at all? Will I be able to travel back in time then?]
[Host, calm down. It's just childbirth; you've taken health-boosting pills.]
[Task: Try to have children.]
"Seriously? You're making having a baby a task for me? I'm speechless. But what reward will I get after it's born? How big will it be?"
You'll find out once the task is completed.
"Sister-in-law, what do we do now?"
The sixth and seventh brothers helped Ye Xiaoxiao make the bed on the kang (a heated brick bed), seeing the sad look on their sister-in-law's face.
I was so scared I didn't know what to do.
"You two hurry up and boil a big pot of water."
The sixth and seventh brothers went out immediately after hearing what they were told.
When Grandma Zhang arrived, she quickly had someone boil water and prepare the necessary items for the delivery.
Although she is over seventy years old, she has a lot of experience in delivering babies; she even delivered Li Chenyang.
"Don't worry, my dear, Grandma's here to comfort you," Grandma Zhang reassured her.
Just then, footsteps were heard again, and my second aunt and Wang Ailing from across the street arrived, offering their suggestions all at once:
"Should we go find Yangzi and bring her back?"
"Forget it, by the time I go to him, the baby will already be born."
"Absolutely! Giving birth is like being forced into it—it's not up to you!"
Ye Xiaoxiao gritted her teeth in pain: "Once this baby is born, I'll beat that bastard Li Chenyang to death!"
After informing his parents, the fifth son was assigned to go to Lei Family Village again. He ran all the way until his throat was hoarse. When he finally saw Li Chenyang, the boy was too exhausted to speak.
"Big brother! Big brother!"
"What's wrong?" Li Chenyang was discussing the brick kiln with Lei Dazhuang.
"Sister-in-law...sister-in-law is about to give birth!"
"What?!" Li Chenyang jumped up immediately. "Why didn't you say so sooner!"
"Didn't I come here to say that?"
Li Chenyang panicked and lost his composure. Forget about the brick kiln, he jumped on his bicycle and rushed back. Lei Dazhuang called after him:
"Hey, brother, your wife is about to give birth, you'd better hurry back."
Li Chenyang was very nervous. He rode very fast, almost knocking down several people along the way. When he arrived at his doorstep, the yard was already crowded with people.
This was Ye Xiaoxiao's first time giving birth, and it happened at home, not in the hospital. She followed Grandma Zhang's instructions the whole time. Her mother-in-law returned while she was in labor. She was in excruciating pain, covered in sweat.
"Li Chenyang, if you come back, I'm going to beat you to death!" Ye Xiaoxiao was both in pain and angry when she didn't see Li Chenyang.
"Hey, stop yelling. Save your energy for later. When he gets back, Mom will give him a good beating."
Liu Juan was also scared at this moment; childbirth was like walking through the gates of hell. Of course, she was even more nervous about her grandson.
Li Jianguo looked around at the door again and again, but he didn't see Li Chenyang.
