At this moment, Cao and the midwife also rushed out of the room.
The two of them had just been discussing the baby.
When they came out, the midwife took Cuizhu's place and supported Jiang Liu's wrist.
Cao wanted to replace Qiu Ling'er, but ten-year-old Qiu Ling'er was stronger than her.
She hurriedly ran into the house and began to make a bed for Jiang Liu, and then asked Cui Zhu to start a fire and boil water.
Qiu Dazhi couldn't help, so he went to start a fire with Cuizhu.
Old Mu, flustered and clumsy, left the courtyard.
As Jiang Liu's abdominal pain subsided somewhat, she quickened her pace.
With her second niece's help, she got into bed and leaned against the edge of the bed.
The midwife closed the doors and windows and drew the curtains.
Hearing the commotion at the Qiu family's house in the neighboring courtyard, Ye Qiuyun quickly found a few ginseng roots and rushed to the Qiu family's yard.
It was bought by Gu Qian when he came back last time.
Come to think of it, she hadn't seen Gu Qian for over a year.
Last time, when she gave birth, Brother Li fed her ginseng soup, which had some effect on her, as she felt stronger at the time.
"Cuizhu, quickly boil some ginseng soup and feed it to your young lady."
Cui Zhu nodded emphatically and quickly did as she was told.
As the young lady was about to give birth, Cuizhu was anxious, hoping that the baby would be born soon.
Inside the room, Cao brought out some freshly made noodles; egg drop soup still floated in the bowl.
"Madam, please eat it while it's hot."
Jiang Liu shook her head. "I can't eat."
She was experiencing frequent contractions in her abdomen, and she had no appetite to eat. All she could think about was getting the baby into the world as soon as possible.
"Eat something, so you'll have the strength to give birth," Cao urged again.
Upon hearing this, Qiu Ling'er picked up a noodle and brought it to Jiang Liu's lips.
Jiang Liu nodded silently, opened her mouth, took a small bite of the noodles, and began to chew.
She regretted it; she should have stayed home today and rested to prepare for childbirth.
Shopping today took a lot of her energy.
I wonder if this bowl of noodles will help her regain her strength.
While eating noodles, I experienced another bout of abdominal pain.
She was in pain three times in a row before she could barely finish a bowl of noodles, and she still felt weak all over.
At this moment, Cuizhu also brought over freshly brewed ginger soup.
Jiang Liu drank a bowl of ginger soup in one gulp.
As soon as I lay down, the contractions intensified.
The excruciating pain was almost unbearable for her.
But she had to grit her teeth and persevere.
"Ling'er, Cuizhu, you two can go out now," she said slowly.
"Mmm." Filled with worry, Qiu Ling'er left the room with Cuizhu.
They couldn't help with childbirth either.
Once only Cao Shi and the midwife remained in the room,
Jiang Liu's contractions intensified again.
The pain in her abdomen forced her to cry out...
Just then, Qiu Yumei rushed over.
During this time, she stayed in the village, focusing on waiting for her second sister-in-law to give birth.
Seeing her fourth brother, Qiu Ling'er, and Sister Ye, she greeted them and began pacing back and forth.
She would glance at the door every now and then, and occasionally go outside to check if her second brother had returned.
Over the past year, without seeing her second brother and Xiaoyan, she felt that life had become rather dull.
"Auntie, Aunt Ye." Qiu Ling'er brought over two small stools for them to sit on and wait.
Qiu Yumei was anxious and couldn't sit still.
She reached out and hugged Qiu Ling'er's petite body, her eyes fixed on Jiang Liu's room door.
"It'll be here soon, it'll be here soon."
She clasped her hands to her chest, hoping for the safety of her second sister-in-law and her child.
