Chapter 1323 The Muttering Li
Now that Zhou Qiao is about to give birth, Shu Yu, being a woman herself, understands that women still long for their family members to be by their side during childbirth.
Even though this father and sister don't understand these things and don't like to talk, they are the closest people to each other.
Zhou's father and Zhou's younger sister stood there anxiously, and Shu Yu asked them to sit down several times, but they refused.
If they were like this, Da Niu was even worse, his forehead covered in sweat, pacing back and forth outside the door without stopping for a moment.
Li was annoyed. "Can you stop for a moment? What's the rush? This is how it is for women to give birth. Your wife has only been in there for two hours. Some women can give birth for a whole day and night and still not be able to deliver."
Upon hearing this, Da Niu's face turned even paler. "A whole day and night?"
Wouldn't that hurt terribly?
The old lady glared at Li Shi with annoyance, "Can't you speak properly? If you can't, then shut up."
She said to Da Niu, "Don't be nervous. Zhao Xi has been taking Qiao Qiao's pulse and examining her all this time. He said she's doing well, and that Qiao Qiao has wide hips, which makes childbirth easier for her than for others. Besides, Zhao Xi is here, so what are you worried about?"
The old lady's words had an effect; her analysis was reasonable and well-founded, which put Da Niu at ease.
But she quickly added urgently, "But Qiaoqiao was supposed to give birth in a few more days. Is it really okay for her to go into labor early? Will this cause any problems?"
Everyone turned to look at Zhao Xi, who said, "It's alright, it's normal for it to flare up early, don't worry."
Zhao Xi was also outside the room, while inside, midwives and servants were assisting with the delivery.
Originally, Li wanted to go in too, but the old lady was afraid that her personality would cause trouble and put pressure on Zhou Qiao, so she wouldn't let her go, since there were already enough people in the room.
Da Niu rubbed his temples and finally stopped wandering around, but he still refused to sit down.
Since everyone hadn't eaten lunch, Shu Yu was worried that they wouldn't be able to handle it, so she had someone make chicken porridge and bring it over, telling everyone to have some.
Mr. Zhou and Ms. Zhou thanked them quietly, only then realizing that it was getting late and they were a little hungry.
Shu Yu was most worried about the old lady, so she handed her a bowl of porridge and said, "Grandma, have something to eat. Didn't you say that Zhao Xi is here?"
The old lady didn't want to worry, "After all, he's the first great-grandchild of the Lu family." It would be a lie to say she wasn't worried.
Shu Yu didn't try to persuade her anymore, but just kept the old lady company while she drank her porridge.
After finishing her drink, the old lady felt better and then asked, "Did Shuyou and the others eat?"
"Don't worry, I ate it all."
Shu You is pregnant, so she shouldn't be here at a time like this.
Firstly, I was worried that she would get tired, and secondly, I was worried that she would be frightened by Zhou Qiao's cries, which would put unnecessary pressure on her.
So he had her take Xiao Songle to practice calligraphy in the front hall. Xiao Songle would be three years old after the New Year. Although he was still quite young, Meng Yunzheng was already consciously teaching him to read and write.
The child is quite well-behaved, and he takes time every day to write and draw. Although he can't even hold a pen properly yet, his spirit is admirable.
As a result, Quan Quan, who often played with him, also started writing characters in a similar manner.
Today, Xiao Song Le didn't go to play with Quan Quan. He probably knows that something big is about to happen at home, so he stayed quietly in the study in the front yard.
After finishing her porridge, the old lady felt a bit tired. Shu Yu wasn't sure how much longer it would take, and since she couldn't keep her waiting, she decided to help her back home to rest for a while.
The old lady thought about it and agreed, but when she walked to Li's side, she heard her muttering to herself.
