Chapter 519: Delivery
"Hey kid, you and Brother Li Ming go help grandma. I'll make you something delicious when Second Aunt gets off work."
"Well, thank you, Second Aunt."
When Li Cheng heard that Cheng Qiao was going to make him something delicious, he knew that his father would not take him back. Looking at Li Cheng's appearance, Li's mother felt so sad that she didn't know what to do.
"Soldier, after you give birth to this one, don't give birth to any more."
"Well, listen to my mother."
"When will Meili give birth?"
"My baby is due next week, Mom. I really want my sister-in-law to help me, but I can't bring myself to ask her."
"I have to speak even if I can't. What if..."
"Mom...don't scare me."
Li's mother stopped talking. Even the adults were frightened, not to mention that Li Cheng was still a baby.
It soon became dark. Zheng Qing closed the shop and calculated today's turnover with Zheng Ning. Looking at the huge pile of bills, they were both extremely excited.
"Sister, you have to count carefully. You can't make a single mistake."
"Well, don't worry, sister. The boss and his mother are so good to me. If I can't even do these things well, I might as well eat pesticides."
Cheng Qiao confidently handed the job over to Zheng Qing and her sister and went to the kitchen to cook. Li Bing also stayed behind and cleaned the grocery store.
Business was booming today and many things were messed up. The salesperson had no time to tidy them up, so this job was given to Li Bing.
Li Cheng and Li Ming also followed Li Bing's example and checked the rows of shelves, put the messed-up goods back in their original places, and put the garbage into the trash cans.
"It's time to eat..."
The large table of dishes made Zheng Qing and Zheng Ning's stomachs growl. With red faces, they took their bowls and chopsticks to serve the rice. After eating, they went back to work in a hurry.
"Don't be too late. If it doesn't work, we can still do it tomorrow."
"Well, we're not going back tonight. I've already told my family."
Cheng Qiao nodded. The family of the Zheng sisters now supports the work of the two sisters. Because of this job, their family's financial conditions are getting better and better.
Li's mother rushed to wash the dishes. Cheng Qiao hugged Li Cheng and spoke tentatively:
"Brother, Meili is about to give birth."
Li Bing nodded. Cheng Qiao felt Li Cheng's muscles begin to tense up, and hurriedly said:
"You can go back tomorrow. I'll come over next week to see if I can help."
"Sister-in-law...thank you."
Li Bing was both surprised and delighted. As long as Cheng Qiao was there, he would not be afraid even if he gave birth to a little monster. Bah, I would not give birth to a little monster. I don’t have the genes of a monster.
"Second Aunt, I…should I go?"
Li Cheng knew that Second Aunt could subdue the little monster. The little monster born by his grandmother was very scary, but when Second Aunt pricked him with a long needle, he became much more obedient.
"Of course I have to go. You are my second aunt's little helper. I can't do without you."
Li Cheng's small chest puffed up. Now that he could help his second aunt, he was no longer a useless person.
May, the month of late spring and early summer, is a warm and sunny season, and Xiangyang Village is full of vitality.
Aunt Wang saw a group of people approaching from a distance. After a closer look, she couldn't help but get excited: "Cheng Qiao is back, folks, Cheng Qiao is back."
When they heard that Cheng Qiao had returned, everyone ran to the village entrance. They hadn't seen Cheng Qiao and Huanzi for many years, and wondered how they were doing now.
Wang Xiangyang strode towards Cheng Qiao, but he couldn't see Li Huan, so he became anxious:
"Second sister-in-law, where is Brother Huan?"
"Your brother Huan has something important to do and can't come back. I'm here to help Meili give birth."
When they heard that he was the one who delivered Jiang Meili's baby, Wang Xiangyang and others looked a little strange. Yuan Qin's matter had already become known to everyone, and Li Bing was even forced to take off his military uniform for this.
If Meili was not Li Huan's sister-in-law, she would probably be drowned by the villagers' saliva. In their hearts, Li Huan and Cheng Qiao are their gods of wealth and the guiding lights on their road to wealth.
Jiang Meili was of course aware of her situation and basically stayed indoors. As her baby approached due date, she began to become anxious.
Later, when Li's mother came, she learned that Cheng Qiao was going to renovate the grocery store. She was really envious. She also wanted to open a small store and make money easily.
You have to know that their family now has twenty pigs, and there is also work to do in the fields. Li Bing gets up before dawn every day and works until dark, and she can't help much with her big belly.
Seeing how hard her son worked, Li's mother wanted to help as well, which almost scared Meili and Li Bing to death. Cheng Qiao let Li's mother go back to her hometown because she was worried that she would be tired.
Mother Li had no choice but to feed the chickens and clean the yard at home. She would go out when she had nothing to do. She had money, so she asked this family to sew some clothes for her children and that family to make some shoes and socks for her children.
In just three months, Li's mother prepared small clothes, quilts and shoes for Meili's unborn child for the next three years, and even prepared all the food that Meili would need during her confinement.
Jiang Meili looked at the kang filled with children's things and started crying with such emotion. Mother Li quickly comforted her, saying that she should not cry when she was pregnant, otherwise the baby she gave birth to would be so cute that she would cry.
"Mom, it is a great blessing for me to marry Li Bing, but it is unlucky for Li Bing to marry me."
"Silly child, you can't say that. You gave birth to children for our Li family. Even if you have no credit, you have worked hard. Live a good life with Bingzai."
"Mom, I'm really scared. If I had known this would happen, I would have given in to Xiao Cheng and not had this child."
"Hey, Meili, I've lived for most of my life and I understand one thing: everything is determined by fate. Since God has made you pregnant, you should give birth to the child. It's not good to think too much."
"Can…"
"Don't worry about it. I'll ask Qiao to come over and take a look. You're her sister-in-law, and I think Qiao will definitely be willing to help."
Mother Li feels very guilty and has to trouble Cheng Qiao again, but there is only such a capable person in the family, so what can she do?
"Meili, Meili, open the door quickly, my sister-in-law is here, mom is here, Chengcheng is back too."
Li Bing pushed the door of the yard, but it didn't open. He knew that Jiang Meili had closed the door again, so he shouted loudly.
Jiang Meili was delighted and ran towards the door quickly. However, her steps were so weak that her legs got tangled and she tripped over her own feet.
"ah…"
“Ouch…”
Following a scream, followed by Jiang Meili's low cry of pain, Li Bing and the others thought something was wrong, Jiang Meili fell down.
"Quick, climb over the wall and get in."
Cheng Qiao quickly pointed to the high wall of the yard. Although the wall was high, it was not a problem for Li Bing, who had served in the army, to climb over it.
Li Cheng's face turned pale. He remembered that his grandmother fell like this and gave birth to the little monster. He turned around and was about to run, but was held tightly by Cheng Qiao.
Whether Li Cheng can recover depends on Jin Chao. If Jiang Meili gives birth to a normal child, the shadow in Li Cheng's heart will be dispelled by the wind. Otherwise, the child will be alone and helpless in the future.
