That evening, Sun Dajiang's family was having dinner. Because of her nephew's arrival, Lin Wencui specially added two dishes to the meal, and the family was enjoying their meal.
Suddenly, a noisy sound came from the middle courtyard, as if Jia Zhangshi was shouting something.
Hearing the noise, everyone prepared to come out and see what was going on.
Upon arriving at the Intermediate People's Court, they saw Qin Huairu clutching her stomach, groaning in pain. Jia Dongxu was supporting her, while Jia Zhangshi was anxiously shouting, "Come help! Come help my family! Huairu is about to give birth!"
An elderly man named Yi Zhonghai arrived immediately upon hearing the call. He glanced at the crowd and spotted Sun Zhengguo watching the commotion. He pointed at Sun Zhengguo and shouted.
“Sun Zhengguo, you happen to have a bicycle. Come over and help take Qin Huairu to the hospital.”
When Sun Zhengguo heard Yi Zhonghai call his name, his mind went blank for a moment. He was just watching the show, how did it get to him?
"No, sir, it's so dark here, and Jia's wife is heavily pregnant, she can't sit still. Why don't you go and borrow a cart? That would be more convenient."
Actually, Sun Zhengguo's opinion was quite reasonable. Just think about it, how can a pregnant woman, whose stomach is already in so much pain, possibly ride in a car?
But when Yi Zhonghai heard Sun Zhengguo's words, things took a turn for the worse. Being rejected to his face by a junior made him lose face. He thought to himself, "I, Yi Zhonghai, am a man of some stature, a respected elder in a courtyard house. Can't I even handle a junior now?"
Thinking of this, Yi Zhonghai didn't even think before he spoke, and said fiercely.
"You little brat, just go when I tell you to. This is a matter of life and death, why are you talking so much nonsense?"
As soon as Yi Zhonghai finished speaking, the entire courtyard fell silent, and even Qin Huairu forgot about her.
"Yi Zhonghai, who are you calling a little brat? If you don't give me an explanation today, I'm not done with you."
Sun Dajiang's angry voice came from behind the crowd.
Upon hearing Sun Dajiang's words, Yi Zhonghai's heart skipped a beat. He instantly calmed down, his mind racing, and a flood of thoughts rushed into his head.
"What's wrong with me today? The Sun family is the one we can't afford to mess with in this courtyard. We can't afford to antagonize them. What should I do? Sigh, should I just back down for now and get through this crisis first?"
After considering the matter, Yi Zhonghai had already made up his mind.
"Brother Dajiang, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I was confused and spoke without thinking. I apologize to Zhengguo as well."
After Yi Zhonghai finished speaking, he turned his gaze to Sun Zhengguo.
"Jingguo, I'm so sorry. I was just too hasty and spoke without thinking. Please forgive me this once, okay?"
After speaking, Yi Zhonghai looked sincerely at the Sun family father and son, hoping to be forgiven.
Sun Dajiang and his son exchanged a glance, and both tacitly chose to remain silent.
Yi Zhonghai was a shrewd man; he knew what Sun Dajiang and his son meant: they forgave you, but didn't want to deal with you, so he had to speak for himself.
"Alright, Dajiang and Zhengguo are both letting this go, let's put it behind us. Let's get Qin Huairu to the hospital as soon as possible."
After Yi Zhonghai finished speaking, he searched for Sha Zhu again, but couldn't find him. He then looked at Sha Zhu's house and found that the lights were on, but the door was closed. This infuriated Yi Zhonghai. After all that fuss, Sha Zhu hadn't come out at all. Now Sha Zhu had become invisible in the courtyard.
Yi Zhonghai had no other choice but to turn his attention to Liu Haizhong.
"Old Liu, why don't you go out and borrow a cart?"
Liu Haizhong was quite happy just now because he saw Yi Zhonghai get his comeuppance, but when asked to borrow a cart, he was extremely unwilling. He thought to himself, "You're the eldest, I'm the second eldest, why should I listen to you? Just because you're a year older than me?"
Although Liu Haizhong was unwilling to go, he couldn't say it, since he was the head steward of the courtyard house.
"Okay, I'll go right away."
After Liu Haizhong finished speaking, he twisted his large body and walked out of the courtyard.
Before long, Liu Haizhong borrowed a cart, and after some effort, he finally got Qin Huairu to the hospital.
Realizing there was no more excitement to be had, everyone in the courtyard dispersed.
Sha Zhu's family.
"Brother, why didn't you go out and check? It looks like the woman next door is about to give birth."
He Yushui said in a low voice.
"Ignore them. Our situation is different now. These people are avoiding us. They're all ingrates. Try to have less contact with them in the future. Just stay home if you don't have to."
He Yushui nodded silently.
Since He Daqing was arrested and his class status was determined, the coldness of human relationships and the fickleness of the world have cast a shadow over He Yushui's young heart, and she now has no good feelings towards the people in the courtyard.
Sun Dajiang's home.
"Jung-guk, what are your thoughts on tonight's events?"
When Sun Dajiang returned home, he began to test his son.
"What could I possibly think? This is just Yi Zhonghai trying to establish his authority over me, but he ran into a brick wall, Dad, and ended up getting hurt."
Sun Dajiang smiled happily upon hearing his son's words.
“Son, remember this: in this compound, we won’t cause trouble, but if anyone messes with us, I’ll show them whether they can withstand the wrath of Sun Dajiang.”
After listening to his father's words, Sun Zhengguo suddenly realized that his father was also a man with a story.
Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Sixth People's Hospital.
"Doctor, how is my wife?"
Jia Dongxu asked anxiously.
"It's okay, just wait. It's your first pregnancy, so the waiting time is a bit long. It'll be fine when the time comes. Don't rush, this is normal."
The doctor answered casually, her face completely expressionless. She worked here every day and had seen this kind of thing many times. There was no use in being anxious.
Time passed by, and only Yi Zhonghai and his wife remained of the people who had brought Qin Huairu. Jia Dongxu wandered around the hospital corridor like a headless fly, while Jia Zhangshi, on the other hand, was quite carefree and actually fell asleep on a bench.
"Hey, Dongxu! Don't wander around here, sit down. We just went into the delivery room."
After hearing Yi Zhonghai's words, Jia Dongxu didn't say anything. He walked to the bench and sat down. However, his anxious expression betrayed him. He was restless and uneasy, which was a true reflection of Jia Dongxu.
At this moment, Qin Huairu in the delivery room had already launched her second wave of energy. During the first wave, she hadn't controlled it well and had accidentally pulled out her own, leaving her extremely embarrassed.
"Quickly, push harder, push harder, yes, like that, I can see the head."
As Qin Huairu used her last bit of strength, the baby was born crying, and Qin Huairu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Although Qin Huairu was very weak at the moment, she still asked the doctor a question in a weak voice.
"Doctor, is it a boy or a girl?"
Congratulations! It's a big, healthy baby boy.
Qin Huairu closed her eyes with satisfaction and fell asleep when she heard that it was a boy.
As soon as the delivery room door slammed open, several people rushed over.
"Who are Qin Huairu's family members?"
"I am, I am, I am her husband. How is Qin Huairu?"
Upon seeing the doctor, Jia Dongxu asked anxiously.
Congratulations, mother and child are safe and sound.
After the doctor finished speaking, he went about his business.
"I have a son! I'm a dad now!"
Jia Dongxu excitedly repeated these two sentences over and over.
The noise woke up Jia Zhangshi, who was sleeping nearby. As soon as she woke up, she heard Jia Dongxu's words and thought she was dreaming, so she pinched her thigh hard.
With a roar, Jia Zhangshi joined Jia Dongxu's army.
"I have a grandson! I'm a grandma now!"
Only an elderly couple remained, feeling awkward.
