Qiao Ru clutched her stomach and groaned in pain, "Sister, open the door, my stomach hurts, I think I'm going into labor, can you help me find a car to take me to the hospital!"
Qiao Shanshan's face turned pale, her mind filled with memories of her childhood. When she and Qiao Ru went to the mountain to cut pig feed, Qiao Zheng, worried that they wouldn't be able to find their way home, would ride out on his bicycle to pick them up. They would follow behind their brother's bicycle, running and chasing after him, carefree and without a worry in the world.
Why is it that we have no worries when we are children, but so many worries when we grow up?
Qiao Shanshan was heartbroken. She had no children in her past life, while Qiao Ru had two. How could Qiao Ru be so fertile? Her children shouldn't have come into this world! She had never heard of a sister-in-law and brother-in-law being able to have children together!
Qiao Shanshan comforted herself, telling herself that she didn't dislike Qiao Ru; she just wanted things to get back on track. If Qiao Ru couldn't keep her child, Lu Jinwen's relationship with her would be strained, and the two would get divorced.
In this way, everything returns to the starting point, which is exactly what Qiao Shanshan hoped for.
Qiao Shanshan gritted her teeth and covered her ears to block out Qiao Ru's cries for help. She cried and apologized, but she couldn't stop herself. Her legs felt like lead, and she couldn't move off the bed. She didn't want to open the door for Qiao Ru, didn't want to take Qiao Ru to the hospital, and didn't want Qiao Ru to give birth to the child.
Qiao Ru called for a long time, but she didn't open the door. That was her own sister; how could Qiao Ru not understand her?
But she never expected Qiao Shanshan to be so heartless. She was giving birth! That was a life-threatening situation. How could Qiao Shanshan treat her like this? Did she not care about their sisterly bond at all?
Qiao Ru was in despair, groaning in pain, but her stomach hurt too much and her water broke. She had no strength left to call for help. Qiao Ru lay on the ground, sinking into despair.
Chu Yu came out wearing a coat. She thought she heard someone knocking on the door. The team had blew the bugle early, and everyone had turned off the lights long ago. No one was still awake at this time, but Chu Yu had to deal with company matters, so she lit a candle and was looking at documents. Who knew that she would hear Qiao Ru's message for help.
The flashlight beam paused on Qiao Ru's face for a moment, and a hint of anticipation appeared on her face. "Zhou..."
Chu Yu was stunned for a moment, then rushed over, "Qiao Ru? Are you alright? Your water broke."
Chu Yu remained relatively calm. She took off her own clothes and gave them to Qiao Ru to wear. Then she went back and knocked on the door, asking Dai Donglin to borrow a car from the leader so that they could take Qiao Ru to the hospital.
Dai Donglin hurriedly got dressed and got up. The whole night's commotion had disturbed the leaders. Yu Guihua couldn't sleep. She knew that childbirth was the most difficult thing for a woman. Qiao Ru was so young, and her water broke first. She was worried about Qiao Ru's safety and didn't sleep all night.
Dai Donglin and Chu Yu took Qiao Ru to the hospital. The doctor took Qiao Ru into the delivery room, and Dai Donglin tried to contact Lu Jinwen.
Chu Yu frowned and said, "Qiao Ru knocked on Qiao Shanshan's door, but Qiao Shanshan didn't open it. Do you think she really didn't hear it, or was she pretending not to hear it?"
Dai Donglin frowned. "You heard such a loud noise, but she didn't? Even if she's deaf, she should have some reaction!"
Chu Yu also felt that something was wrong with Qiao Shanshan. Although the girl was not likable, she did not expect that Qiao Shanshan would treat her own sister like this. Was she jealous that Qiao Ru was doing better than her?
Qiao Ru was once declared to be in critical condition by the doctor.
Chu Yu was extremely anxious. Lu Jinwen wasn't around, and if something really happened to Qiao Ru, how would they explain it to him? Luckily, Dai Donglin pulled some strings and found a top obstetrician who lived nearby to come and save the day, and in the end, they successfully brought Qiao Ru back to life.
When Lu Jinwen arrived, he heard the doctor say, "The new mother is very promising." He was clearly a tough guy who had seen the world, but now he was kneeling at the door of the delivery room, crying helplessly.
Fortunately, he was saved in the end. If he hadn't been saved, Lu Jinwen probably would never have been able to reconcile with himself for the rest of his life.
Chu Yu was exhausted after working all night, so she sat down to rest for a while.
She prepared brown sugar, eggs, and milk powder for Qiao Ru, and also asked Sister Yu to stew chicken soup and bring it over. They were all comrades in the team and would see each other all the time, so Sister Yu was happy to help. After Qiao Ru opened her eyes, she was able to drink the hot chicken soup.
Qiao Ru opened her eyes, her face still a little pale. She looked at Chu Yu gratefully, "Thanks to you, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would be in grave danger."
Thinking that her own sister wouldn't open the door, Qiao Ru bit her lip and shed tears.
Lu Jinwen was unaware of Qiao Shanshan's situation and simply thanked Dai Donglin and Chu Yu, saying, "You are our benefactors, thank you so much."
Dai Donglin chuckled, "We're all brothers, no need for thanks! Good brother, I'm so happy for you becoming a father!"
Lu Jinwen hugged him with emotion, saying, "You two should hurry up too. After almost a year of just the two of you, you can have a child."
Dai Donglin put his arm around Chu Yu's shoulder and looked at her with a smile. Chu Yu laughed and said, "Want a child? It's a piece of cake."
Lu Jinwen teased, "Yeah, Dai Donglin is in good health, he could become a father in no time! Unless he doesn't want to!"
Dai Donglin really didn't want it. The thought of a little brat bothering Chu Yu made him feel resistant from the bottom of his heart.
Chu Yu is already busy enough, often traveling for work, making it difficult for Dai Donglin to even see her. If she has a child, her life will be even more difficult, and she will have to put in even more effort to balance family and career.
She's already working so hard, how much harder can she possibly try?
Dai Donglin didn't want her to be exhausted, nor did he want her to be unhappy in her marriage.
Even though Dai Donglin could help Chu Yu stabilize the home front, the matter of having children can only be done by the mother, and he cannot do it for her. After having children, mothers will devote their hearts and souls to their children, which is in their nature. Dai Donglin cannot know the hardships of being a mother, yet he is eager for her to have children and keeps her confined at home.
