Chapter 338 Nephew
So much time has passed.
My legs are already swollen and thick.
"You little loser, you're just causing trouble everywhere instead of going with your sister to collect firewood. Why did the wild boar hit you instead of the little beast from the Jiang family? Now that you're well, your leg is broken. You don't expect me to spend money to hire a doctor to save you, do you? Dream on! Just lie there. Life or death depends on your fate."
Zhou Gaier leaned against the door and cursed.
She originally wanted to sell Sanniu for silver.
Now my legs are broken.
What else are you selling?
So, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law turned their attention to Jiang Erniu.
Jiang Sanniu, who was lying on the bed, had already cried until her tears dried up.
In the next few days, Jiang Fubao visited various places to wish everyone a happy new year, including the Kong and Meng families in the town, as well as several other families with whom he had good relationships.
He even went to the Fang family in Chang'an Town.
This time, not only Jiang Fubao, but also Jiang Ruyi and Jiang Huanyu went.
The Fang family is not short of money.
So Zhang Jinlan brought a lot of mushrooms and bamboo shoots collected from the village, as well as small potatoes from her own garden, and sun-dried salted meat.
Yunlan was very happy to see them.
He let them sleep there all night before leaving.
The last day of Chinese New Year.
At Qian Ping'an's home in Qianjia Village, the couple were arguing.
Zhu Pan'er, who had been taught a lesson by the Jiang family, was still planning to take advantage of Qian Xile.
"Hmph, the New Year is almost over, and your sister really doesn't want to come back. What girl is like her? Her parents don't want her anymore. Just wait. If she gives birth to a boy, it will be better. But if she gives birth to a loser, I don't believe the Jiang family will treat her well. She will suffer the consequences. Bah!"
Zhu Pan'er was eating the bland cabbage soup.
My nose is red from the cold.
"How dare you say that? Were you not beaten enough? Your right foot is still lame, doesn't it hurt? I tell you, if you try to find joy again, you will, you will!"
Qian Ping'an's right hand was broken after all, and he went to see a quack doctor.
Therefore, the recovery is not good.
I can't even straighten my fingers.
He was still as frightened as ever and didn't dare to finish his words.
"What did I say?" Zhu Pan'er's eyes were as big as copper bells.
"You can go by yourself. I'm not going anyway. I don't want to be beaten again. My right hand hurts a lot when it's windy and rainy."
Qian Ping'an rubbed his right hand, and the pain came back again.
The couple are both more miserable than each other.
During the Chinese New Year, we can’t even afford brown rice, let alone meat.
The money for paying the fine and buying brown rice was obtained by selling two acres of land.
Otherwise Qian Ping'an would have to go repair the river embankment.
Qian Xile, who was always on Zhu Pan'er's lips, came after the spring planting was over.
Started.
The family just finished dinner.
Jiang Dahe drove the carriage to pick up the midwife he had already found.
The others were also busy.
Jiang Tongjin half-knelt beside the bed, almost fainting from anxiety.
"Men, get out. It's not proper to stay here. Women give birth, and it's very dirty. Be careful not to get contaminated. Get out now."
As soon as the old lady arrived, she wanted to drive Jiang Tongjin away.
Being held by Zhang Jinlan.
"Just let him stay here. We don't break these rules in our house."
Even when Zhang Jinlan gave birth, her husband came to accompany her.
Not to mention her grandson.
If you are happy to have a baby and you don’t come in to accompany her, you are not worthy of being a husband.
When Mrs. Wu heard what Zhang Jinlan said, she was stunned.
In her entire life, this was the first time she had seen a man enter the delivery room.
But she just took the money and did the job, so she didn't say much.
"Okay, then move aside and don't delay her delivery."
So Jiang Tongjin was driven aside.
He had to stand on tiptoe to see his wife lying on the bed. Worried that Qian Xile was scared, he encouraged her: "Don't be afraid, daughter-in-law. I'm here with you."
"It's time to give birth. Are you hungry? Do you want to eat something?" Grandma Wu lifted the quilt, looked at the situation, and reached out to check.
"I'm not hungry. I just had dinner." Pains came.
Qian Xile frowned in pain.
She thought of her grandmother's words.
I managed to hold back from screaming.
Zhang Jinlan and Zhu Yingqiu stood at the head of the bed, holding her hands, encouraging her and wiping her sweat.
One of them sat at the end of the bed, occasionally lifting the quilt to take a look.
As for Jiang Fubao, she is a doll.
How can I enter the delivery room?
She was stopped outside.
Walking back and forth in a hurry.
“Ah, it hurts, it hurts so much——”
Suddenly, a heart-wrenching scream came from the house.
Qian Xile was in so much pain that he almost fainted.
Jiang Tongjin was so heartbroken that he cried.
"Wife, we won't have any more children. Not anymore. After this one, we won't have any more in the future." His mouth was trembling as he spoke.
"Be patient, don't scream, or you'll lose all your strength. The baby is in a good position and not very big. Don't worry, as long as you listen to me, I guarantee that the baby will be born safely."
The old lady is an old hand and she knows everything just by touching the belly.
Under her guidance, Qian Xile began to take rhythmic deep breaths.
Following the roar of the old woman.
She concentrated all her strength into one place.
“Aaaaaa——”
"I see the end, try harder, it's almost there, it's almost out, good job, give it one last push, it's coming, it's coming——"
“Waaaaaa——”
The baby's crying sound spread into the yard.
The people waiting outside were extremely excited.
Jiang Tongjin also cried with joy.
"Congratulations, it's a boy—"
When the middle-aged woman saw that the child was a boy, she knew that she would get another bonus today.
However, Jiang Tongjin didn't even smile at Wife.
He knelt beside the bed and held Qian Xile's hand.
Crying so hard that you can't make a sound.
"Wife, we won't have any more children, and we won't have any more in the future."
Not only did he not have a mother-in-law in his eyes, he didn't even have a son in his eyes.
He didn't even hug him, but just kept talking to Qian Xile.
Zhang Jinlan and Zhu Yingqiu also crowded around the village, concerned about Qian Xile.
As a result, no one paid any attention to the old woman holding the child.
She thought she had delivered a baby girl.
For a moment, I was a little confused.
It took a long time before Zhang Jinlan realized that she had a great-grandson.
When seeing off the old lady, he also stuffed a piece of silver into her pocket.
not much.
It’s only about two hundred coins.
"It's very strange. He looks unhappy, but he is rewarded. Is he happy or unhappy?"
Jiang Dahe saw Wen Po off.
In the carriage, the old lady talked to herself.
Indoors.
Qian Xile had already been helped by her mother-in-law and grandmother to wash her body.
She lay in bed and rested.
He was wearing a hat on his head, which even covered his forehead above his eyebrows.
Fortunately, the labor was quick. She went into labor right after dinner, and it was just dark after she gave birth.
I didn't suffer too much.
She gently held the child beside her pillow. Although she was not the daughter she wanted, she was her first child after all and she loved her no matter how she looked at her.
Jiang Fubao was finally able to come in.
"Sister-in-law, you've worked hard. You're so great. You gave me a little nephew. He's just a little ugly. I don't know if he can get married when he grows up. It's okay. When the time comes, I'll ask grandma to give me some more money so that my little nephew can marry the most beautiful wife."
Jiang Fubao leaned against the bed and saw his little nephew, who was red, wrinkled and looked like a monkey.
He curled his lips in disgust.
Since the child is born by my sister-in-law, it doesn’t matter if he is ugly.
She admitted it.
