"He Ailian, listen to my instructions, don't waste your energy by exerting force."
Seeing that He Ailian had finished eating the eggs, Ruan Qiushui quickly said something.
"good."
At this point, He Ailian could only trust Ruan Qiushui.
"Relax now, one, two, three, push..."
"The head is out, continue..."
"Wow wow wow!"
Ruan Qiushui patted the baby's bottom while holding the baby, and the baby burst into tears.
"Go and call the midwife in."
After confirming that the child was alright, Ruan Qiushui placed him on the bedding.
At this moment, He Ailian also fainted from exhaustion.
Ruan Qiushui stepped forward to give her acupuncture to stop the bleeding; the rest was no longer her concern.
"Oh my, it's a boy! Congratulations!"
The midwife ran inside, wrapped the baby in her arms, and came out to congratulate Gu Xianjin.
"Is Ailian alright?"
Gu Changpeng genuinely liked He Ailian, and upon seeing Ruan Qiushui come out, he quickly went up to inquire.
"If you want her to live, you'd better take her to the hospital."
He Ailian is suffering from severe bleeding; if she doesn't receive a blood transfusion in time, she probably won't live for more than a few days.
"Father, Mother, get the money, I need to take Ailian to the hospital."
Gu Changpeng shouted anxiously at the two of them.
"Even if you have no money, you're still angry, aren't you?"
Gu Xianjin and Lin Duomei were happily watching their eldest grandson and had no time to pay attention to He Ailian.
"mother."
Gu Changpeng looked at his parents in despair, feeling utterly helpless.
Gu Changfeng and Xie Xiuying helped Ruan Qiushui home.
Ruan Qiushui always felt uncomfortable in her hands, so as soon as she entered the courtyard, she quickly found a basin to fetch water and washed her hands.
"Mother, I remember you said that He Ailian is only seven months pregnant, right?"
Ruan Qiushui carefully washed her hands, glancing at Xie Xiuying as if by accident.
"yes."
The third brother got married on March 16th. At that time, Gu Xianjin came in to borrow money, saying that He Ailian was only one month pregnant.
It's been almost seven months since National Day.
“Mother, that child doesn’t look premature; it looks like a full-term baby.”
The child was fair-skinned and chubby, weighing exactly the right amount; a premature baby would never be like that.
It's highly likely that He Ailian lied about the timing of her pregnancy.
"real?"
Xie Xiuying was only focused on her daughter-in-law's arrival and didn't pay any attention to the child.
If that's the case, then there's something wrong with the child's origins.
If he really is Gu Changpeng's child, there's no need for him to lie.
Maybe he took that fall this afternoon on purpose.
"Third brother's wife, let's not talk about this for now."
Xie Xiuying had a mischievous grin on her face.
Let Gu Xianjin bully her daughter-in-law.
Now I've raised someone else's grandson; who knows how much I'll cry later.
"good."
Ruan Qiushui nodded.
This was Gu Xianjin's family matter, so she naturally wouldn't interfere.
If the truth is ever revealed, she'll be happy to watch the show.
"Third brother, how are your eldest uncle's wife and children doing?"
Gu Changshan was somewhat curious when he saw Gu Changfeng enter.
"Both adults and children are safe."
Gu Changfeng sat in the chair and took a sip of water.
"Boy or girl?"
Gu Changjiang then asked.
"It's a boy."
Recalling how excited Gu Xianjin and his wife were when they left, Gu Changfeng couldn't help but shake his head.
To him, all his children, boys and girls, are equally important; why should he differentiate between them?
"Uncle will be overjoyed."
Gu Changshu couldn't help but say.
His eldest uncle was the only son in his family, and that was Brother Changpeng.
Now that they have a grandson, the family line can finally be considered to have a successor.
"Of course, your uncle is probably so happy right now that he's forgotten his own surname."
Xie Xiuying was following Ruan Qiushui into the house when she heard the conversation and couldn't help but complain.
He Ailian was also a pitiful person.
She gave birth to a child for Old Master Gu, but was left lying in bed, ignored and neglected.
If it were her, she couldn't have done something so cruel.
"Alright, alright, let's head back early. It's getting late, and the third brother's wife should rest."
Gu Guangrong happened to see Ruan Qiushui yawn. If they continued talking, when would his third wife get a break?
"Then we'll be going now. Third brother's wife, get some sleep."
Xie Xiuying was also worried that her daughter-in-law wouldn't get enough rest, so she quickly led the children away.
Gu Changfeng saw Xie Xiuying, Gu Guangrong, and the others to the door, and Ruan Qiushui took a hot bath and went to sleep.
In the middle of the night, unable to resist Gu Changpeng's persistent pleas, Gu Xianjin finally tied up the oxcart and took He Ailian to the town hospital.
…
On the last day of the autumn harvest, Ruan Qiushui woke up to Gu Changfeng's kiss.
"What's wrong?"
Ruan Qiushui opened her eyes groggily, her small mouth slightly pouting.
Seeing this, Gu Changfeng felt a surge of passion and showered him with kisses again.
"Honey, it's time to get up. I have a surprise for you."
Gu Changfeng first helped his wife change her clothes, then handed her the washbasin, toothbrush, and cup.
Let's go.
Ruan Qiushui quickly finished getting ready, her face full of anticipation for the surprise Gu Changfeng had mentioned.
"Come with me."
Gu Changfeng led Ruan Qiushui to the backyard gate.
"Wife, close your eyes first, I'll take you away."
Gu Changfeng took out a red ribbon and blindfolded Ruan Qiushui.
Ruan Qiushui closed her eyes in cooperation and was led inside by Gu Changfeng's hand.
Gu Changfeng was excited, having planned this moment for a long time.
"Wife, open your eyes."
Gu Changfeng took off the red ribbon and put it in the pocket on his chest, his eyes full of affection.
"My God, it's so beautiful."
As far as Ruan Qiushui could see, there was a sea of roses.
Red, purple, orange, and blue roses are all in full bloom.
Even more striking was the intricately carved wooden plaque, tied with a bow made of red floral fabric.
It read: "Wife, I love you" / "Happy birthday, wife."
"Gu Changfeng, when did you prepare all this?"
If it weren't for the surprise Gu Changfeng had prepared, Ruan Qiushui would have forgotten that today was the original owner's birthday.
I really appreciate your thoughtfulness, thank you.
Ruan Qiushui was truly moved that a rough man could go to such lengths for her.
"I'm glad you like it."
Gu Changfeng was overjoyed.
Since his wife became pregnant, he has been in charge of taking care of the vegetable garden in the backyard.
He had been preparing for today's surprise for months. Every time he came back, he would quietly go to the backyard in the middle of the night to plant flowers, weed, and fertilize.
Seeing that my wife likes it now, it's all worth it.
"Honey, I also prepared this. Would you like to see it?"
Gu Changfeng took out an exquisite velvet box and slowly opened the lid.
"What?"
Curious, Ruan Qiushui leaned closer and discovered a heart-shaped diamond ring the size of a fingernail inside.
“Honey, I heard that when people in the city get married, in addition to the three turns and one sound, they also give a diamond ring as a symbol of eternal love.”
This was the result of his search over several months; he finally found the diamond ring he was most satisfied with just two days ago.
