When the villagers of Qinghe Village heard that Ye Caiping was pregnant, they all came to her door with baskets and gifts.
Ye Caiping accepted them all with a smile.
By the river, Ms. Wei was washing clothes, while several village women nearby were talking about Ye Caiping's pregnancy, saying that Ye Caiping was very lucky.
While wringing out her clothes, Madam Wei sneered, "Only a month into the marriage, and she's already three months pregnant, haha... she's really quite discreet."
Several village women looked at her with disdain.
Tie Niu's wife said, "Why are you pretending to be confused? Everyone knows that Cai Ping and Mr. Shen got married three months ago. They got married in the capital. The reason for holding another wedding is just to celebrate and make the two elders happy."
Wei's face turned pale, and she remained silent.
Finally, he simply threw the clothes into the basin, picked them up, and walked away.
Hmph, so what if she's pregnant? It'll definitely be a girl!
Her daughter-in-law is different; she's about to give birth to a precious grandson!
As time went by, Ye Caiping gradually became pregnant.
But the child wasn't troublesome, so Ye Caiping didn't put down her work because of it.
In the morning, Ye Caiping looked at the account books while Shen Zhiyan gave a lesson. In the afternoon, the two of them took a walk together in the village.
Life is pleasant.
In May, the goods from the capital finally arrived.
Besides a huge pile of gifts, there were actually three midwives, three wet nurses, and a royal physician.
Shen Zhiyan arranged for the imperial physician and one of the midwives to stay in the village, while the rest of the people waited for orders at the house in town.
On May 26, Xiao Yan got married.
Xiao Yan's entire wedding dress was made by their embroidery shop. Influenced by Ye Caiping, she did not wear a veil but instead used a fan-shaped veil.
She married into Zhao Fan's family's large brick and tile house in a grand and glamorous manner, amidst a chorus of blessings and celebrations.
August 17th, at 1-3 PM.
Ye Erquan was planting vegetables in the garden, while Yinhua went up the mountain to collect firewood.
Ye Peng was shoveling pig manure, while Wei was chopping pig feed in the yard.
There was a long recliner in the yard, and Wei Xiaojuan, heavily pregnant, was cracking sunflower seeds like an old man: "Mom, I'm out of sunflower seeds!"
Wei threw down the kitchen knife in her hand, her face darkened, went into the room to get melon seeds, and poured them into Wei Xiaojuan's bowl.
He then sat down and continued chopping.
Wei Xiaojuan ate a few apricots and then said, "Mom, I suddenly have a craving for something sour. Could you get me some dried apricots?"
Wei gritted her teeth, put down the cleaver, and stood up: "Besides dried apricots, what else do you have? Tell me all at once."
Wei Xiaojuan pouted: "How would I know? Anyway, right now I just want to eat dried apricots."
Ms. Wei took a deep breath.
Upon seeing this, Wei Xiaojuan frowned: "It's not that I want to eat it, it's that Yaozu wants to eat it!"
Upon hearing that it was her own grandson, Madam Wei's displeasure subsided considerably: "Alright."
After saying that, he went back into the house to get dried apricots.
She wouldn't serve her if it weren't for her grandson.
But after the dried apricots were taken out, Wei Xiaojuan took a small bite, then spat and said she wouldn't eat any more! She continued eating sunflower seeds.
Weiss: "..."
Wei, holding her breath, had no choice but to sit down again and chop pig feed.
But before he could even pick up the knife, Wei Xiaojuan's voice rang out again: "Mother..."
Even the most patient woman, Mrs. Wei, lost her temper this time: "What is it now? When will this end!"
Wei Xiaojuan's expression changed slightly: "No... my stomach hurts... ah, it hurts..."
Ms. Wei was taken aback, and then she noticed that Wei Xiaojuan's trouser legs were gradually getting wet.
Mrs. Wei jumped up excitedly: "My water broke! My water broke! I'm going into labor! Quick, let's get back to the room!"
Upon hearing this, Wei Xiaojuan was also frightened and quickly helped Wei Shi up and walked into the room.
As she helped her walk, Madam Wei called out, "Peng'er, Peng'er, your wife is about to give birth! Quickly call your father and grandmother! And call the midwife! Quickly call the midwife!"
A short while later, Ye Peng and Ye Er both rushed back.
Neither of them went into the room, but they heard Wei Xiaojuan screaming like a pig being slaughtered coming from inside.
Ye Peng's expression changed: "Why are you shouting so loudly?"
Madam Wei rushed out of the room, her face pale: "I think Xiao Juan is acting very strangely. Quick, quick, go find the midwife!"
Ye Erquan was also startled by Wei Xiaojuan's scream.
Back then, neither Wei nor Du had such terrible screams when they first started having sex. How come Wei Xiaojuan's condition is so severe?
Ye Peng asked anxiously, "Where is the midwife...?"
Madam Wei said, "Doesn't Ye Caiping's family have a midwife? I heard she came from the capital, she's really something! Husband, go and call our parents, tell them to bring the midwife over."
Ye Erquan frowned: "That midwife was specially sent by the Shen family for my younger sister, and my younger sister has long since disowned you and Ye Peng. Now that Ye Peng's wife is about to give birth, how can you have the nerve to use someone else's person?"
"Didn't we agree to find Wang the midwife from Wangjia Village? I'll go get her right now!"
Wei retorted angrily, "Why call it Wangjia Village? Why call it far away when there's something nearby? Why call it bad when there's something good? If Xiaojuan has a difficult childbirth and something happens to my precious grandson, will you take responsibility?"
She had already made up her mind when the Shen family sent people over.
When her eldest grandson was born, Ye Caiping's family midwife was needed to deliver the baby!
Ye Erquan choked.
Madam Wei urged, "Go quickly! Otherwise we'll resent you for the rest of our lives!"
"Aaaaah—it hurts so much! I'm going to die... Waaaaah... Husband, it hurts so much... Help, it hurts so much..."
Wei Xiaojuan's heart-wrenching screams terrified Ye Erquan. Was she going to have a difficult childbirth?
With lives at stake, he didn't have time to think further: "Okay, I'll go find my little sister!"
