Just as Qin Huairu was suffering, Yang Tao finally went into labor. As soon as Yang Tao felt the urge to give birth, Wei Hua quickly took her to the hospital.
Yang Tao had been waiting for this day for almost a year. Unfortunately, to awaken the system, she had to wait for her child to be born. Now that she was finally about to give birth, Yang Tao was incredibly excited.
However, Yang Tao quickly lost her focus on other thoughts, as the intense pain prevented her from contemplating anything else. Fortunately, the hospital nurses and doctors were quite professional, and after more than four hours of labor at the hospital, Yang Tao finally gave birth to her child.
The system's voice rang out right after she gave birth? But Yang Tao, who was standing nearby, didn't claim her reward and acted as if nothing had happened.
The hospital nurses washed the baby, wrapped him up, and then carried the newborn out of the delivery room.
"These are Yang Tao's family members. Yang Tao has successfully given birth to a healthy son who weighed 7.6 pounds at birth. Please take the baby back to the ward quickly. We will bring the mother to you shortly."
Upon hearing the nurse's words, Wei Hua immediately ran over and happily took his son in his arms. Looking at his wrinkled face, he curiously touched it before carrying him back to the ward.
Seeing that the child wasn't crying or fussing, Wei Hua placed him on the hospital bed to avoid him needing to be carried around every day. Looking at her sleeping son, Wei Hua couldn't help but worry about Yang Tao, who hadn't returned yet.
Every now and then, Wei Hua would look out the door until he saw the doctor and nurses push Yang Tao back.
After returning to her hospital room, the first thing Yang Tao did was to see her child. Seeing her son made all the suffering she had endured worthwhile.
These days, Wei Hua also knew that his wife was not simple. So after everyone else left, he magically produced a bowl of ginseng chicken soup.
"You definitely need to replenish your nutrition after giving birth, this is some chicken soup I just made."
Yang Tao knew that at this time, there was no one else in the hospital. No one would pay attention to her, so she took the chicken soup and drank it. Even if not for herself, she needed to replenish her nutrition for her child's sake.
As for the origin of the items, Yang Tao had made some discoveries. So she didn't pursue the matter further, after all, she also had her own secrets.
After finishing her meal, Yang Tao rested like an ordinary person. In reality, she had already begun communicating with the system in her mind.
"System, quickly claim the reward for the first child."
"Congratulations, host, you have obtained 10kg of gold, a +10 bonus to physical attributes, one space upgrade card, and shares in a high-end overseas hotel (this will automatically take effect after the child reaches adulthood; it is currently hidden and cannot be viewed)."
"Congratulations, host, you have obtained a complete guide to childcare, which includes all the necessities for your child's life and education. Congratulations, host, you have obtained ten tons of living supplies, including rice, flour, cooking oil, and various other daily necessities."
She was inwardly thrilled by the system's rewards, but outwardly remained as if she were asleep. Fortunately, everything could enter the space. Yang Tao secretly used the space upgrade card, expanding the original space of several hundred square meters to almost ten times its original size.
With this space, I can raise my son very well. What's more, there are ten kilograms of gold and an unknown hotel.
Looking at the supplies provided by the system, Yang Tao felt that her system was particularly thoughtful. Not only did it provide milk powder, but it also had diapers and bottles.
Besides disposable diapers, even cloth diapers, a product unique to this era, have appeared. It seems the system also wants to keep a low profile.
After receiving her reward, Yang Tao happily fell asleep.
Perhaps due to improved physical condition, Yang Tao did not experience any major abnormalities after giving birth. She ate and drank as usual, and apart from some slight inconvenience in movement, she seemed to be largely unaffected.
Yang Tao was unaware that Wei Hua had used a great deal of spiritual spring water and precious medicinal herbs on her. He hadn't just been using them now; he'd used quite a bit before. Subtly, Yang Tao's physical abilities had long surpassed those of ordinary people.
In addition, her improved physical condition made Yang Tao feel that she was fine. Even so, Wei Hua did not discharge Yang Tao immediately, but let her rest in the hospital for a full five days.
After confirming that Yang Tao was fine, Wei Hua took Yang Tao and her child out of the hospital. To prevent them from catching a cold, Wei Hua wrapped them up tightly.
Fortunately, the steel mill was already on holiday, so Wei Hua had time to take care of Yang Tao and her child at home. After bringing them back, he began caring for them at home.
Given the current special circumstances, Wei Hua can only ask them to make do for now. Fortunately, everyone's situation is similar now; at most, they'll just celebrate on their own after having a baby. They won't be giving out red eggs like before.
To keep their little secret, the couple couldn't have too deep a relationship with the other people in the courtyard. Even the Liu brothers and Wei Hua were only nodding acquaintances. As a result, apart from verbal greetings, no one ever came to Wei Hua's house.
Wei Hua tactfully pretended not to know about the milk powder and other things that suddenly appeared in the house. Every day, she tried her best to prepare different things for Yang Tao to eat.
Sometimes people are just never satisfied. Even when she was in the Jia family, Qin Huairu was already somewhat jealous of others. But she never expected that after marrying Liu Guangqi, her life would become even more difficult.
This made Qin Huairu fantasize about whether she could be as happy as Yang Tao after giving birth.
Gu Chunyan's cries shattered all of Qin Huairu's illusions. Qin Huairu knew that after giving birth, her life wouldn't be easy unless she could completely win Liu Guangqi's heart.
Even though her body was still in great pain, Qin Huairu had no choice but to get out of bed. If she didn't, she might get beaten again. So, enduring the pain, Qin Huairu slowly made her way to the kitchen.
"Grandma, what can I do for you?"
“Weren’t you very filial before? How come you’ve become like this in our Liu family? You’ve been resting at home for a week, are you still going to lie in bed? Get back to work, do you expect your mother-in-law to teach you?”
Hearing Gu Chunyan's words, Qin Huairu also deeply regretted why she had created such a persona in the first place. If she hadn't created the image of a good daughter-in-law, she wouldn't have had to suffer like this.
But the pain in her body told Qin Huairu that she was unable to work at all.
“Mother-in-law, you know my situation. I was beaten so badly by Guangqi last time, and now I'm about to give birth. How am I supposed to do any work?”
Gu Chunyan just gave a cold laugh when she heard Qin Huairu's words.
“So what if you get beaten up? Guangtian and Guangfu have been beaten up a lot too, why don’t they complain? Back in the Jia family, even before you had a baby, you still did your work. Do you think you’re so precious now that you’re in our Liu family?”
"Get to work right now, or I'll have Guangqi beat you up again. This is the consequence of your scheming against the Liu family. If it weren't for you, you jinx, Guangqi wouldn't have been punished. Do you know this will affect Guangqi for the rest of his life?"
Hearing Gu Chunyan's words, Qin Huairu could only go into the kitchen to work. She knew the entire Liu family resented her, and until she had completely won over Liu Guangqi, she had to endure it.
Seeing Qin Huairu start to move, Gu Chunyan took a stool and sat down beside her, constantly supervising her. She also held a feather duster, ready to whip Qin Huairu if she dared to slack off.
Qin Huairu and Yang Tao gradually became two extremes. One was always frowning, while the other always had a smile on her face.
This made Qin Huairu increasingly jealous. However, due to her injuries and pregnancy, Qin Huairu was unable to take any action and could only sulk at home every day.
Qin Huairu had hoped for a better time during the Lunar New Year, but instead, she was severely punished. The reason was simple: Qin Huairu wanted to give her child some extra nutrition during the New Year, so she picked up a good dish from the plate during the New Year's Eve dinner.
These dishes were all prepared for Liu Haizhong. Normally, apart from Liu Guangqi, only Gu Chunyan in the entire Liu family dared to take a bite or two; no one else was qualified.
Now that Qin Huairu dared to touch the good food, Liu Haizhong and his eldest son beat her up. Knowing that Qin Huairu dared to scheme against their family, Liu Haizhong and Liu Guangqi didn't hold back. But as the beating went on, they began to fear, because Qin Huairu started bleeding.
Seeing Qin Huairu's blood startling, Liu Haizhong and Liu Guangqi panicked. The onlookers were also startled by the scene, except for Yi Zhonghai, who ran out of the courtyard with a big smile on his face.
Originally, the Liu father and son wanted to stop Yi Zhonghai, but when they saw Qin Huairu on the ground, they hesitated. They immediately carried Qin Huairu and ran out of the courtyard.
This matter can't be hidden any longer; the most important thing now is to get Qin Huairu to the hospital. If something really happens to Qin Huairu, neither he nor his son will escape responsibility. If Qin Huairu is alright, he won't have too much of a problem.
They now regret their actions. If they had known Qin Huairu was so fragile, they should have held back when they attacked her.
At this point, both Liu Guangqi and his son began to complain about each other, blaming the other for going too far. If Qin Huairu hadn't been still bleeding, the father and son probably would have left her aside and given the other party a good talking-to.
