Shu Ying took the newspaper and immediately saw the name Shu Yan.
The woman in the picture on the left, with disheveled hair and a listless appearance, is clearly her long-lost cousin, Shu Yan.
It really is her.
Shu Ying gave a cold laugh.
I never expected that after so long without hearing from her, the next time I heard from her would be like this.
Shu Ying was not surprised at all; she simply knew it was going to happen.
Shu Yan's values were warped by her parents long ago. From a young age, she only knew how to do useless things and compete for power. Her mind was filled with nothing but pointless hatred and jealousy.
That's actually quite good. Her parents had already gone into prison to wait for her, and now that she's in there too, they can finally reunite.
The three members of the family, each with a more serious crime than the last, will probably spend the rest of their lives locked up in prison.
This is probably the best possible outcome for this family.
Indeed, the saying "evil begets evil" is not without reason.
Shuying got off work early today, and she and Sister Wang sat and chatted for a while in front of their house. When they saw that it was almost time, they got up to pick up their children.
As soon as Shu Ying stood up, Xie Mingzhu, who had been peeking into the kitchen watching her movements, immediately turned off the stove, wiped her hands, and came out of the kitchen.
"Yingying, wait a minute, are you going to pick up the child?"
Shu Ying nodded.
She turned to leave, and I heard Xie Mingzhu shout—
"Stand there and don't move!"
Shu Ying turned her head, puzzled, and saw Xie Mingzhu immediately take off her apron, grab her keys, and walk out.
In the blink of an eye, Xie Mingzhu was already in front of her, carefully taking her hand and letting out a sigh of relief.
"Alright, you can go now."
Shu Ying: ?
She was both amused and exasperated.
"So you rushed over just to help me up?"
Xie Mingzhu said earnestly, "This is a crucial time for you, you can't afford to be careless at all! How can I possibly be at ease?"
As she spoke, Xie Mingzhu turned around and closed the door, while keeping an eye on Shu Ying's footsteps and giving her a reminder.
"Be careful, there's a rock in there... Oh right, just step over it."
She would remind Shuying to step over the steps one minute, and then remind her to step over the stones the next.
They treated the child with the utmost care, like a toddler just learning to walk, never daring to relax for a moment, for fear of the child bumping or falling.
Shu Ying couldn't help but laugh at her.
"Sister, if this continues, you're really starting to look more and more like my third mother."
Xie Mingzhu gave her a reproachful look.
"You're going against the Heavenly Order! If my mom and your mom heard this, they'd beat me up!"
His serious expression made Shu Ying unable to help but cover her face and burst into laughter.
Xie Zhiyan came home a little late today. Shu Ying is now quite far along in her pregnancy, so it wasn't convenient for her to sit on the sofa in the living room for a long time while waiting for him. Instead, she sat on the headboard of the bed, with a small lamp on, flipping through some documents while waiting for him.
However, I still made a mistake. Perhaps because I was too far along in my pregnancy, even though I usually took spiritual spring water, I still couldn't help feeling a bit weak. While looking at the documents, I fell asleep without realizing it.
When Xie Zhiyan returned home late at night, he saw Shu Ying leaning against the headboard with her head tilted to one side as soon as he entered the door. She seemed to be sleeping uncomfortably. He sighed with some heartache and went over to gently lay Shu Ying down.
After washing and warming his hands, Xie Zhiyan, as usual, gently massaged Shu Ying's waist and abdomen.
Since her pregnancy progressed, Xie Zhiyan often noticed that Shu Ying would be supporting her lower back and holding her belly, appearing to be in some discomfort.
He noticed these things and would often massage Shuying's waist, abdomen, and calves before bed.
As a husband, there wasn't much he could do while his wife was pregnant; all he could do was to be good to Shuying.
Shu Ying probably sensed Xie Zhiyan's movement. She groggily reached out and hugged Xie Zhiyan's waist, opening her eyes a crack and speaking with a nasal tone.
"You're back."
Xie Zhiyan hummed in agreement and gently stroked Shu Ying's hair with his fingers.
"Go to sleep, I'll give you a longer massage, you've had a long day."
Shu Ying smiled and mumbled, "It's not hard work." I wanted to chat with Xie Zhiyan a little longer, but I couldn't resist the drowsiness and fell asleep again in no time.
Looking at Shu Ying's deep sleeping face, Xie Zhiyan bent down with heartache and pressed a kiss on Shu Ying's forehead.
With her due date still a little over a month away, it means Shuying has to endure another month of hardship...
Xie Zhiyan felt heartbroken just thinking about it. After massaging Shu Ying's waist, abdomen, and calves, he then massaged her head.
While pressing the button, I couldn't help but repeatedly berate myself.
It was all because of him that Shu Ying had to go through such hardship again.
Every time Xie Zhiyan saw Shu Ying working so hard yet still waiting for him to come home, he felt guilty and increasingly indebted to Shu Ying, and his love for Shu Ying deepened involuntarily.
Fortunately, he has already had his tubal ligation done; this is the last time, and there won't be a next time.
After the massage, Xie Zhiyan sighed softly, changed his clothes, got into bed, and gently hugged Shu Ying's shoulders.
Shu Ying sensed his movement, and drowsily moved closer to him, automatically curling up in his arms.
Half-asleep, still mumbling incoherently—
"My stomach... is heavy... kicking me..."
Xie Zhiyan quickly folded the blanket and placed it under Shu Ying's abdomen to alleviate some of her discomfort.
He gently stroked Shu Ying's swollen belly and whispered instructions to the baby inside through her skin.
"Be good, don't bother Mommy, let Mommy get some sleep, don't make Mommy uncomfortable."
With the family's meticulous care, the due date finally arrived.
She was pregnant with triplets, and the risks of a natural birth were too great.
Early in her pregnancy, Shu Ying had discussed with her doctor and decided to have a cesarean section for this pregnancy.
Shu Ying deliberately chose a weekend, which the calendar showed was an auspicious day, and it just so happened that everyone was not busy.
Early in the morning, Huang Meiling, Xie Wenyuan, Shu Wenyuan, Yang Wan, Xie Zhiyan, Xie Mingzhu, and the three children—a large group of people—came together to take Shu Ying to the hospital.
Shu Ying had already arranged to see a doctor in advance. After arriving at the hospital, the doctor and I coordinated our plans in an orderly manner. We discussed the steps and details of the cesarean section and reviewed the previous prenatal checkup records to ensure that we were both fully informed.
While the doctor went to prepare, Shu Ying took out a large bucket of spiritual spring water that she had prepared in advance and handed it to Xie Zhiyan.
"This is a medicine I specially prepared. After the surgery, I might not be able to do it myself, so please use this to wipe my wound. It will help the wound heal faster."
Xie Zhiyan's face was tense as he listened carefully to Shu Ying's words, nodding solemnly.
"Okay, don't worry, I remember everything, and I will definitely keep these medicines safe."
Shu Ying glanced at his hand holding the large thermos flask; his fingers were turning white from gripping it so tightly.
Even though she was the one giving birth, Xie Zhiyan seemed much more nervous than she was.
