He turned and berated the midwife: "Why didn't you stop her? She's used up all her energy now, what will she use to give birth later?"
The midwife was very aggrieved: "I tried to stop her, but I couldn't! And I noticed that after she started swearing, especially at her husband, her cervix dilated faster. Now it's dilated a little more, almost five centimeters. Go ahead and swear at your husband a couple more times, and we'll try to dilate it to five centimeters—"
After a moment of silence, she cried out, "Jiang Zhiyuan, you bastard! You big liar! You said I only needed to get pregnant and you could take care of everything else! Now I'm giving birth, in excruciating pain, and you're not doing anything about it? You liar! If I ever fall for your tricks again and have your baby, I'm a pig!"
"I'm telling you, Jiang Zhiyuan, once those two little rascals in your belly are born, I'll name them one 'Big Liar' and the other 'Second Liar'—"
"Pfft—" In the delivery room, there were other expectant mothers, midwives, and doctors. Except for those who were too much pain to concentrate, they couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Jiang Zhiyuan stood outside the door, covered in cold sweat, feeling both heartache and worry.
Jiang Yuan also vaguely heard a few words, and she didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but her worries dissipated a bit. Judging from Xu Ningyan's strong voice, the situation should be quite good.
Indeed, it was quite remarkable. After enduring a period of excruciating pain, Xu Ningyan came back to life.
She took a deep breath and said to the midwife, "I've exhausted my strength, I'm hungry, can I eat something?"
The midwife hurriedly got up and went to the door of the delivery room, poking her head out: "Xu Ningyan's family, is there anything to eat? She needs to eat something to replenish her strength."
Fortunately, Jiang Yuan and her team had been reminded by the obstetricians and gynecologists beforehand and had prepared chocolates, candies, and cookies.
They all came over at once.
The midwife took the things inside, and Xu Ningyan angrily ripped off the chocolate wrapper, broke off a large piece and stuffed it into her mouth, asking the midwife, "Who's waiting outside?"
The midwife thought for a moment and said, "Dean Jiang and your spouse."
Xu Ningyan felt a little better. She was in excruciating pain, and if Jiang Zhiyuan hadn't been waiting outside, she would have been even angrier.
After eating a large piece of chocolate and a cookie, Xu Ningyan regained some strength: "Can't my partner come in to be with me during childbirth?"
The midwife shook her head.
Xu Ningyan then offered a compromise: "Could you open the door so I can say a few words to him?"
The midwife glanced at the doctor, and everyone looked on with gossip, eager to hear what other earth-shattering things Xu Ningyan would say next.
A young nurse quietly walked to the door of the delivery room and pushed it open a crack.
The midwife gave Xu Ningyan a wink, and Xu Ningyan immediately perked up, shouting towards the door, "Jiang Zhiyuan, you listen to me! You stay right outside the door! If you dare leave, I won't give birth! You can't take my pain away from me, so you just stand at the door and listen to how much I'm in pain! Do you hear me?"
Such domineering words were heard not only by Jiang Zhiyuan and her son, but also by the family members of the expectant mothers nearby.
Everyone turned their heads to look at Jiang Zhiyuan and his mother.
At this moment, Jiang Zhiyuan only had Xu Ningyan inside his heart and mind, and he didn't care about the gazes of these irrelevant people. He immediately raised his voice to the delivery room: "Yanyan, don't worry, I'll be right at the door, I'm not going anywhere! I'll stay here with you! I know you've suffered, it's all my fault! When you come out, you can vent your anger on me, okay?"
Several men, relatives of the other mothers nearby, glanced at Jiang Zhiyuan with disdain, thinking to themselves, "He looks tall and sturdy, so how can he be so henpecked? How can he say such shameful and embarrassing things in front of so many people? Is he even a man?"
The woman in labor inside felt a pang of sadness upon hearing this, and looked at Xu Ningyan with envy in her eyes.
Some of them, harboring resentment, actually managed to give birth with a burst of effort.
The delivery room immediately erupted into chaos, but Xu Ningyan's midwife stayed by her side the whole time and couldn't help but say, "You two have such a wonderful relationship! Your husband treats you so well!"
Xu Ningyan curled her lips: "I risked my life to give birth to his child. If he can't even do that, what kind of wife can he marry and what kind of children can he have?"
No sooner had she finished speaking than the pain returned. She gasped and began cursing Jiang Zhiyuan again.
I don't know if it was the chocolate that worked, or if she was in too much pain, but the more pain she was in, the angrier and angrier she became, and the faster her cervix dilated.
After a lot of fuss, the two babies were finally born around noon, crying and unwillingly.
"Congratulations, you have twin sons."
Xu Ningyan already knew this result. At that time, it was still permissible to use ultrasound to determine the sex of the child, unlike later when people used ultrasound to identify the sex of the fetus and then arbitrarily aborted fetuses.
So the doctor had already told them that it was twins, so they weren't surprised.
Xu Ningyan had already exhausted all her strength and energy, but she still managed to take one last look at the two children she had given birth to with her life on the line.
Its entire body was bright red, its hair was fine and soft, and its head was pointed and long, as if it had been pinched by something.
Its eyes were squinted into slits, and its face and head were covered with white vernix caseosa. It was small and didn't look like a wrinkled old man.
"Why is it so ugly?" Xu Ningyan knew that newborn babies were rarely good-looking.
But it was still beyond her expectations that it would be this ugly.
Hearing their mother's disapproval, the two children, who had stopped crying, suddenly started crying louder again, making Xu Ningyan's head ache. She quickly waved her hand and said, "Take them out, take them out!"
The more I look at it, the more it becomes an eyesore.
The midwife carried the baby out, and most of the family members who had been waiting outside had already left.
The women who went into the delivery room this morning have already given birth and been wheeled back to their wards.
Only Jiang Yuan, her son, and Sister Mei remained.
Upon seeing them carrying the child, the two immediately surrounded them.
The midwife smiled and congratulated them: "Are you Xu Ningyan's family? Congratulations, twin boys, mother and babies are safe and sound!"
As she spoke, she was about to hand the child to Jiang Zhiyuan, who was coming to greet her.
Jiang Zhiyuan didn't even look at the child in her arms, but asked anxiously, "How is my wife? Is she alright? Why hasn't she come out yet?"
Jiang Yuan glanced at the baby briefly, then looked at the midwife.
The midwife's smile froze for a moment as no one took the baby from her arms before she said, "The mother is doing well, but we'll have to wait a little while. We'll bring her out once we're ready. Can someone take this baby?"
Sister Mei hurried over from the back and, together with Jiang Yuan who had come to her senses, took one child from each of them. After looking at them carefully, she couldn't help but praise, "These two children are really good-looking. They will definitely be a pair of handsome little brothers in the future."
Jiang Zhiyuan then glanced at it and couldn't help but frown: "How can it be so ugly? Are you sure you didn't pick up the wrong baby?"
The midwife's face darkened.
Can we say that this is truly a couple?
