Yes, it’s so refreshing, but why can’t I stop crying?
Meiya hugged the man tighter. She didn't know how to comfort the man in her arms, and she knew that it would be futile to say anything at this time. She just knew to hug him tighter. Tighter.
…
August 16, the 34th year of Jiasheng.
When the retired emperor passed away, His Majesty ordered the Ministry of Rites and the Imperial Household Department to jointly handle the funeral.
August 18, the 34th year of Jiasheng.
Ningguta.
The backyard of the prefectural government office.
"Madam, please try harder!" The midwife said anxiously to Xiao An, who was sweating all over and lying on the bed exhausted. "Madam, the head is about to come out, please try harder! Madam, please hold on a little longer!"
Xiao An stared at the scarlet curtain, breathing rapidly and laboriously. Her face was extremely pale. Ever since she started to have abdominal pain late last night and Pang Yi was so busy that he called the midwife who was invited to stay in the backyard early in the morning, Xiao An had been struggling on the bed for three hours. As the sky outside brightened, she had no strength left, and she felt as if she was soaked in water. She was exhausted and panicked. She trembled and reached out to touch her bulging belly. She could feel the vibrations coming from her belly so clearly. The child was eager to come out and meet her. But she really had no strength left. She kept crying, and then tears came out again.
She did it to save the baby in her belly. Grandma Chen died tragically in front of her eyes, Mr. Gu had his right arm chopped off, and Mr. Ding's ribs haven't grown back yet. He can only lie in bed all day and night to recover. He is so thin that he looks unrecognizable.
It was all because of them, mother and son. These three elderly people who should have been enjoying their retirement died or became disabled...
The midwife looked at Xiao An who suddenly burst into tears and was immediately shocked: "Madam! What are you doing? Please don't get too excited! If you keep crying like this, how can you have the strength to give birth to a baby! Madam! Please don't cry anymore! Be careful not to hurt the baby!"
Xiao An heard everything the midwife said, but she just couldn't stop. Her tears kept flowing. For the past two months, she had been living in guilt, and she only hated that she could not die and follow Grandma Chen. However, she couldn't bear to leave the child in her belly, nor could she bear to leave Pang Yi, which made her feel even more guilty. Later, Pang Yi came back and took care of her in every detail. While she felt Pang Yi's tenderness, she felt even more guilty towards Grandma Chen. She was in such agony until this time. Through her tearful eyes, Xiao An seemed to see Grandma Chen, and then she cried even harder.
…
Outer hall.
Pang Yi paced back and forth in the room like an ant on hot pan, and from time to time he heard Xiao An's hysterical crying coming from the room. Pang Yi was already sweating all over. He could no longer sit still and wanted to rush in several times, but was stopped by someone. At this time, hearing Xiao An's crying again, Pang Yi could no longer hold back and strode towards the dormitory.
"Sir!" Unexpectedly, the midwife came out in a hurry and almost bumped into Pang Yi. Seeing Pang Yi's posture, she knew that Pang Yi was going to rush in again, so she hurriedly stopped him and said, "Sir, you must not enter the delivery room. The delivery room is a bloody place. How can a man enter? It will disturb your noble fortune!"
