Qin Xiaoling saw this and felt much comforted.
My eldest daughter has been in poor health since she was a child. Despite her good figure, she has a very weak immune system and gets sick easily if I'm not careful.
But her personality is the kind that is very gentle and kind.
Qin Xiaoling was worried that Li Yali might be bullied if she found a partner in the future, so she was unwilling to marry Wang Tianxiao after learning about his background.
Wangjia Village was known as a bandit village and already had a grudge against Lijia Village. Wang Jiaxiao happened to be a member of the same Wang family, and the thought of her daughter possibly jumping into a fire pit made her extremely worried.
But his daughter was set on marrying Wang Tianxiao.
She only stayed at her uncle's place for a short time before she took a liking to this young man and her attitude was quite firm.
Li Wanfu and Qin Xiaoling were both very gentle people. No matter how worried they were, they didn't stop their child once the child had made up his mind.
Anyway, I've heard that Wang Tianxiao is a decent guy and has a stable job, so let's just leave it at that.
After getting married, Wang Tianxiao worked away from home for long periods, leaving Li Yali at home. They lived a very miserable life. The elderly couple secretly regretted it countless times, wishing they had stopped her earlier. They thought that if they had stopped her even a little, things might not have turned out this way.
My daughter wouldn't have to suffer like this.
But despite his private complaints, his daughter still had to live her life.
They could only take advantage of the eldest son's inattention to send their daughter food, drink, or even cooked food to help her get through the most difficult time.
Because of this, the eldest son and his wife have made sarcastic remarks countless times.
There are six children in the family. The other five are all quite sensible, but the eldest one doesn't act like an older brother at all. I don't know who he takes after. They are all children raised by the same parents, yet their personalities are so different.
Qin Xiaoling never dreamed that Wang Tianxiao would send Li Yali to the hospital to give birth.
Seeing her once honest and unassuming son-in-law now riding a motorcycle and becoming much more lively, she felt both happy and worried.
The good news is that now that her son-in-law has money, her daughter's life will be a little easier.
What worries me is that my son-in-law suddenly turned out like this. I don't know where he got the money from, or if it was legitimate. They are honest people, but they can't afford any more trouble.
Hopefully, he has truly improved his skills.
"Mom, what are you daydreaming about?" Li Yali asked curiously when she saw her mother deep in thought, holding a tattered piece of clothing.
"Oh, it's nothing," Qin Xiaoling said, coming back to her senses. "It's just that it feels like you already have two kids. I still think you're still so young."
Li Yali felt a little sad at her mother's words. Looking at her mother's gray hair that had reached her temples, she suppressed her sadness and smiled, saying, "That's right, everyone has to grow up. Maybe when you close your eyes and open them again, I'll be all white-haired."
"You silly child," Qin Xiaoling smiled, "your life has just begun, you mustn't say such discouraging things."
"Okay. I got it, Mom."
At that moment, the slightly ajar door was pushed open again.
Wang Tianxiao accompanied a doctor into the ward.
The doctor was a woman in her thirties with a serious expression. She walked to the bedside, listened with a stethoscope, and then took Li Yali's hand and gently took her pulse.
Nodding, he said to Wang Tianxiao, "Everything is normal. The patient's family can wait outside."
This doctor combines traditional Chinese and Western medicine, using both auscultation and pulse diagnosis. Although young, she appeared very professional. Her tone was calm, but left no room for discussion; it was almost an order.
Wang Tianxiao had no choice but to carry Wang Fang and Qin Xiaoling to the door to wait.
Outside the ward was a long corridor, and at the entrance was a long bench. It was originally painted green, but due to years of disrepair, the green paint had gradually peeled off, revealing the dark base coat underneath.
Neither the mother-in-law nor the son-in-law were in the mood to sit down; they were anxiously waiting for news from inside.
Wang Tianxiao, in particular, had seen many images of childbirth on television in his previous life, and the women in those images were always in great pain, it was practically torture.
He had also seen an explanation of the pain women experience during childbirth in a magazine, which said that it was basically the limit of human pain that could be endured.
He couldn't help but worry about his wife.
Li Yali is extremely afraid of pain. Even a simple prick on her fingertip can bring her to tears. Compared to the pain of childbirth, acupuncture is merely a mild massage.
In comparison, even his mother-in-law was calmer than him.
He just stood there quietly, muttering something to himself.
It's probably some Buddhist scripture.
My mother-in-law is a Buddhist, and her younger sister is a nun who works in the largest temple in Qingquan Town.
As darkness fell, all the hospital lights came on.
Several panes of glass in the corridor were broken and hadn't been replaced in time, so air was blowing in, making the whole corridor feel cold.
Wang Tianxiao was already very cold, and he wrapped his drowsy daughter in his clothes, but when he saw that his mother-in-law's thin and short body was also shivering slightly, he still stood on the outside with his back to the wind to block the cold air for the old woman.
Soon, his back became so cold that he lost all feeling in it.
The mother-in-law was completely unaware that she was facing the ward with her eyes closed, still muttering to herself.
Time passed very slowly.
Wang Tianxiao had never felt so anxious before; he now truly understood what it meant for each day to feel like a year.
"God bless, God bless."
He stomped his feet lightly while muttering to himself.
"Wow……"
Suddenly, the cry of a baby came from the ward.
Wang Tianxiao wanted to rush in immediately to see the child and comfort his wife, but his mother-in-law opened her eyes and stopped him, saying, "The child has just come out and can't be exposed to cold winds yet. If you rush in, he will get sick."
"Oh." Wang Tianxiao had no choice but to turn back and strain to peek through the gap in the curtains, hoping to catch a glimpse of any information.
But the gap was too small, and he couldn't see anything.
About ten minutes later, the ward door opened, and the doctor handed some things to Wang Tianxiao. "This is the placenta. You can handle it yourself. Now you can go in and see the baby. The baby is very healthy, weighs six pounds and eight ounces, and is a boy."
Perhaps seeing new life, the doctor's voice, though tired, softened slightly: "Close the door after you go in; the patient must not be exposed to drafts."
"Thank you, doctor. Thank you for your help," Wang Tianxiao said quickly.
"fine."
The doctor carried the tray away.
Qin Xiaoling then opened her eyes and breathed a long sigh of relief, "Thank God!"
Wang Tianxiao stood in front of the door, let out a long breath, and pushed the door open to go inside.
He saw his wife lying diagonally on the bed, looking towards the door. When she saw him come in, she gave him a weak smile.
Beside her, a tiny baby wrapped in her own clothes, with dark, wrinkled hair stuck to his head, a small nose and face, was fast asleep with his eyes closed.
