Chapter 3 The Child Cannot Live

Sure enough, Qin Yuezhi was stunned for a moment, "Xiao Nuan, how did you know that you were pregnant with two children?"

The contraction came again. Zhou Nuan didn't have the energy to explain so much to her. She endured the pain and gritted her teeth, "My own child... How could I not know!?"

She couldn't care less about so many things. While He Rongsheng was looking for a midwife, she had to let Qin Yuezhi take her to the hospital.

"Mom! If anything happens to the baby in my belly, Gu Xiyue, Gu Xiyue..." She was in so much pain that she could hardly speak.

Qin Yuezhi was so flustered, "Okay, okay, then mom will take you to the hospital right away, and I'll go find someone..."

"Don't look for my mom..." Zhou Nuan's eyes were almost bloodshot. With the last bit of consciousness left, she quickly said, "It's too late. Go to the Yan family under the crooked tree at the east end of the village and look for Yan Lao San. He has a car..."

"Please don't let my mother know, let alone my family members."

Qin Yuezhi didn't understand why her daughter-in-law didn't let her go to her parents' side. She was so close to her parents' side before. She would tell He Rongsheng everything and give any spare money she had to her parents' side.

It's not that she didn't have complaints, but when she thought about the fact that her daughter-in-law was a widow, she didn't dare say anything. She was afraid that if she said anything, the daughter-in-law she had married with great difficulty would run away.

Now that Zhou Nuan was about to give birth, she was in a state of panic and didn't know what to do. She wanted to run to He Rongsheng to discuss sending her to the hospital, but as soon as she went out, she remembered Zhou Nuan's words. She hesitated, turned around and ran to the east of Wantou Village.

After Qin Yuezhi left, Zhou Nuan felt a little relieved.

She concentrated her energy, endured the severe pain, closed her eyes and prepared to give birth.

The He family's house was renovated with the huge dowry received when the original owner got married. There are three bright rooms, all made of bricks. It is an enviable existence in Wantou Village, which is full of loess mud houses.

There were three big houses. Zhou Bing got a small one, Zhou Chang got the biggest one, and He Rongsheng and his wife got a room that was neither too big nor too small. Only Zhou Nuan didn't have any room at all.

He Rongsheng's original statement was that she was already married and the family had little space to spare for her, so every time she returned to her parents' home she could only live in the small, dilapidated house where Old Lady Zhou lived before she died.

It was very ironic that she didn't even have the right to live in the house that was built with her betrothal money. Zhou Nuan didn't understand what the original girl was thinking. If it were her, she would have demolished the house long ago and no one would have had a good life.

The small shabby house was close to the house of He Rongsheng and his wife, and the sound insulation was poor, so the sound could be heard faintly.

"Auntie Chen, you are finally here."

"Hey, who's going to give birth? There's no suitable person in your family. Could it be that your second daughter is going to give birth?" An old voice sounded, "Why is your second daughter so ignorant? She's about to give birth, why is she running back to her mother's house? Giving birth there will only bring bad luck to her family."

"That's right..." He Rongsheng smiled bitterly, "I've talked to her father several times, but she just wouldn't listen. She even brought her mother-in-law to my house. Sigh..."

"A few days ago, I went to have my fortune told. The second girl's pregnancy was not going well. The fortune teller said that she was doomed to be born with an unlucky fate. It would be fine if she killed us, but the most important thing was that she would kill Chang'er and Bing'er."

Others would probably sneer at such nonsense, but it was different for Aunt Chen. She was born in troubled times and she said she survived thanks to the Buddha's blessing. So she was extremely superstitious. Even when delivering a baby, she would calculate the numbers. If there was any disadvantage to her, she would not go no matter how people invited her.

This time, she came here because she thought there was no problem. A trace of doubt flashed across Aunt Chen's face. "Really?"

"Why would I lie to you? Aunt Chen, it's not that I don't feel bad, I'm the child's biological grandmother, how can I bear to let him go? But our Zhou family only has this one son, and we don't have any descendants yet. You're also a mother, you know my difficulties. This child can't live..."

She took a thick cloth seal and stuffed it into Aunt Chen's arms.

The voices gradually faded away, leaving only rustling sounds. Zhou Nuan's palms were covered in cold sweat, and her heart was also cold.

She knew He Rongsheng had no good intentions, but she didn't expect her to be so cruel. Even if the original body was not favored, it was still her child. How could she be so cruel?

Interests can really change a person's mind beyond recognition.

This bowl of medicine is really not a good medicine! Fortunately, she has been holding on to it and has not drunk a single sip in the past two days.

After the contraction was over, she stood up tremblingly, moved to the door little by little, and locked it with great effort.

She pinched her palms tightly, enduring the pain of contractions, and slid to the ground weakly.

Damn it, God!

Damn book-traveling!

Damn the author!

Damn Gu Xiyue!!

She is in so much pain ahhhhhh!!

Just when she was in so much pain that she was confused and wanted to jump away, someone pushed the door carefully.

"Sister? Sister? Why is the door closed? Aunt Qin? My sister is still in there, right? Open the door quickly."

Zhou Bing's gentle voice came from outside the door.

Zhou Nuan didn't have the energy to pay attention to her.

Zhou Bing pushed hard again, pushing the broken wooden door open a crack. Seeing Zhou Nuan half-sitting on the ground, a hint of suspicion flashed in his eyes.

"Sister, why are you lying on the ground? The ground is cold, you should get up quickly. Where is Aunt Qin? Where did she go?"

"What's going on? Why is the door closed?" He Rongsheng also came over with Aunt Chen.

"I don't know. My sister has locked the door and won't open it. I don't know where Aunt Qin has gone. Sister, sister?!"

Seeing that Zhou Nuan didn't answer, Zhou Bing pushed the door open and said, "Sister, open the door. I brought you some medicine. You will be able to give birth soon after taking it."

She wasn't just delivering medicine; she was clearly delivering her life!

In the original body's memory, her younger sister Zhou Bing was a well-read person who usually spoke gently. Who would have known that behind such a harmless little face was the selfish face of a typical Zhou family member.

Who would believe that she knew nothing about delivering medicine for He Rongsheng?

Seeing her like that, I wanted to kick the door open and pour some poison into her mouth.

None of the Zhou family is a good person! They are all evil people who sucked her blood.

Zhou Nuan was in a desperate situation. The baby was about to be born, but Qin Yuezhi had not returned yet and there was no news at all. She didn't know if she could find Yan Yicheng.

Her stomach hurt so much that she wanted to take a knife and cut open her belly to take the baby out.

Outside the house, her closest relatives were still planning evil things. Three vicious wolves were lurking outside her door, ready to pounce in and devour her as soon as she opened it.

She was in pain, shocked, frightened and at a loss as to what to do. An inopportune thought popped up in her mind.
