Chapter 282 It’s time to give birth!
The neighbors heard Xu Xiaoju crying and came out to see what was going on. Why was she crying so miserably on New Year's Day?
"Eh? Who is that person? Why is he crying at the doorstep of Chi's house on New Year's Day?"
"Oh, I recognized her. Didn't this woman run away with the old widower Hu? On the day she ran away, she smashed the heads of Chi Sheng and his mother. Why is she back now?"
"Tsk, she did something like this, and she still dares to come back? It's good enough that the Chi family didn't arrest her and send her to the government office!"
When Xu Xiaoju heard the neighbors pointing fingers at her and recalled the twists and turns she had gone through, she realized how favored she had been in the Chi family. The Chi elders didn't even need her to cook for them.
Everything that the two old people and Chi Sheng were reluctant to eat was saved for her.
Although Chi Sheng's mother sometimes cursed her, every time she came back with cakes from the boss, she couldn't bear to eat them herself and gave them to her and Chi Sheng, and Chi Sheng gave them to her, his wife. In the end, all the cakes went into her stomach alone.
Xu Xiaoju put the cakes in her arms, stood up and stood at the door of Chi's house for a while, then walked out of the alley in the gaze of everyone, with only Chi Shengniang's words in her mind: People should have conscience.
Since then, no one has seen Xu Xiaoju again, and no one knows whether she is dead or alive.

"My wife!"
Xu Zhiyi was about to step out of the yard when he heard Shen Wuyou's voice, so he stopped and turned around: "What's wrong? Today is the seventh day of the New Year, and the sugar-making workshop in the village has officially started work. I'll go over and take a look."
Upon hearing this, Shen Wuyou hurried over to support Xu Zhiyi: “My lady, I will go with you.”
Looking at his cautious look, Xu Zhiyi felt helpless: "Wuyou, it's only been less than two months, you don't need to be so nervous!"
"My dear, I am worried. I will always be by your side to protect you."
Xu Zhiyi was helpless. In the past two days, she had become the focus of protection for the whole family. Even her grandmother had moved from the house next door to live with her. Because she had a poor appetite, her grandmother and mother had found various ways to prepare food for her.
Then Shen Wuyou drove the carriage over. He was afraid that others would not pay attention to the potholes on the road when driving the carriage, causing the carriage to bump and hurt his wife. Therefore, in the future, when his wife went out in a carriage, he would be the coachman.
"Boss!"
Xu Zhiyi heard the villagers' calls and responded one by one: "Hey, Aunt Luo, are you used to doing this?"
"Auntie is used to it. She can earn several hundred wen every month. Now there is enough food in the fields. She can save almost all the money she earns. Everyone is very hopeful about their life now!"
"That's right, Boss. Now our Cuilin Village is the richest village in the town. Oh, matchmakers from other villages come to our village every day to propose marriages. The roads in the village are almost trampled! Now the young men and women in our village have no worries about getting married!"
Xu Zhi said that the villagers were all smiling all the time, and everyone was living a better life! There were even fewer quarrels, and everyone worked together every day and went home in harmony.
After patrolling the sugar workshop, he saw that everyone was working smoothly and there were no problems. He thought of going to Su's house to sit down, and just in time he saw Huang coming over with the baby in her arms.
"He is so cute, Sister Yunxiang, has he been given a nickname?" Xu Zhiyi teased the baby in Huang's arms. His chubby face was so cute!
Huang: "His name is Ziyan, it was given to him by his grandfather!"
Then he smiled and said, "Zhiyi, you two are all very good-looking. Your baby will definitely be good-looking!"
Hearing this, Xu Zhiyi said with a smile: "Sister-in-law Yunxiang, you and Brother Lin are also a handsome man and a beautiful woman!"
The two chatted for half an hour, and Xu Zhiyi suddenly found that having such a cute baby was quite fun, and she seemed to be looking forward to the little guy in her belly!
Seven months later.
Xu Zhiyi: "Wuyou, a letter came from Chang'an saying that the enemy country was defeated. I heard that it was a man who used to be in Jinxuan Pavilion. He took the initiative to join the military camp to redeem himself for his crimes."
"It turns out that there are people from Jin Xuan Ge in his military camp, and Jin Xuan Ge specializes in collecting intelligence in Fenglin Country and selling it to the enemy country. So why were my eldest uncle and uncle so easily tricked? It turns out that there is a traitor!"
Shen Wuyou was very surprised when he heard this: "Really? Then the enemy country is defeated, can my brother come back soon?"
Xu Zhiyi nodded: "Chang'an said that he has made a contribution this time, and he must follow his uncle back to Beijing to receive the reward and come back immediately!"
As she said this, she was thinking about getting up to get paper, pen and ink to write back to Chang'an. Unexpectedly, before she even got up from the chair, she found that she was leaking urine. Suddenly, she remembered that Su had been nagging her in the late stages of her pregnancy about various symptoms of giving birth.
"Wuyou, am I about to give birth?"
Upon hearing this, Shen Wuyou nervously grabbed Xu Zhiyi’s hand and said, “Madam, do you have a stomachache?”
Then he shouted quickly, his voice trembling: "Someone, go to the front yard and call the midwife, my wife is about to give birth! Hurry!"
When the maid outside the door heard this, she immediately ran away, shouting as she ran: "The Grand Minister of Agriculture is about to give birth!"
When Mrs. Su and Madam Xue heard the shouting, they hurried to Xu Zhiyi's yard.
"Zhiyi, what's going on?"
Xu Zhiyi had already lay back in the room and drank another large bowl of spiritual spring water, waiting for the onset of contractions.
"Mom, grandma, I just had amniotic fluid leakage, my stomach hasn't started to hurt yet."
Madam Xue: "How come you're leaking amniotic fluid but not having stomach pain? Hurry up and put a pillow under your butt. If the amniotic fluid is gone but there's still no pain in your stomach, the baby will be in danger."
Su then realized that Shen Wuyou was not there: “Where is Wuyou? Hasn’t he received the news yet?”
Xu Zhiyi: "Wuyou went to pick up Grandpa Li. I told him it was not necessary, but he was more scared than I was. He had to pick up Grandpa Li before he could feel at ease!"
When Mrs. Su heard this, she praised him, "Wuyou is really thoughtful. Your mother and your grandmother only thought of the midwife, but they didn't think of calling a doctor to take precautions!"
"Madam, the midwife is here!"
When Old Lady Xue saw the midwife coming in, she hurriedly said, "Midwife, please help my granddaughter. Her water has broken, but there is no movement in her stomach."
Upon hearing this, the midwife came over and put down the mosquito net, then helped Xu Zhiyi check to see if her cervix was dilated. It turned out that there was only one finger.
"The Grand Minister of Agriculture has only opened the penis one finger, but she can't feel anything in her stomach. She must be reacting slowly. If we open the penis a few more fingers, she will react!"
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief after hearing what the midwife said.
Two quarters of an hour later, Shen Wuyou pulled Doctor Li and ran towards this side at the gate of the house.
"My wife!"
Doctor Li went over to feel Xu Zhiyi's pulse and confirmed that there was nothing wrong. Then he went out to the hall and poured three glasses of water for Xu Zhiyi to drink before he finally recovered.
Two hours later, when the cervix was dilated to seven fingers, Xu Zhiyi began to feel some reaction in his stomach, like a severe urge to defecate.
Afterwards, until all ten fingers were fully opened, Xu Zhiyi just cried out in pain a few times, and then gave birth to the baby. The midwife was shocked. She had been delivering babies for decades, but she had never seen anything so easy.
Even if some babies have an easy birth, they still feel pain when the cervix is dilated, it's just that the birth is faster. Mr. Xu only shouted a few times symbolically when the baby was about to come out.
With a splash, the baby started crying.
"Congratulations, Grand Minister of Agriculture, the baby is born. It's a daughter. Oh, I've delivered so many babies, but this is the first time I've seen a baby with no wrinkles on its skin at birth."
Mrs. Su and Madam Xue were extremely happy when they looked at the newborn baby!
Shen Wuyou squatted beside the bed, wiping Xu Zhiyi's sweat, and from time to time he cared if she felt any discomfort.
