When she got home, she threw all the medicine at Ye Peng.
Madam Wei would never take care of Wei Xiaojuan during her postpartum period; now that the baby is born, she's not going to serve her anymore.
Ye Erquan didn't hire any servants or wet nurses, so Ye Peng had to take care of him.
After giving birth to Ye Yaozu, Wei Xiaojuan felt she was a hero in the family and became even more pretentious and affected.
But because she gave birth to a boy, Ye Peng felt that it made him proud, so he patiently endured it.
Wei Xiaojuan had no worries about food and drink, yet she happily completed her postpartum period while drinking medicine for colds every day.
That noon.
Ye Caiping was taking a walk in the village with Shen Zhiyan.
From afar, one could see Mrs. Wei holding little Yaozu and chatting with the village women:
"My grandson's name is Ye Yaozu, yes, the same Yaozu as in 'bring glory to one's ancestors'!"
The village woman smiled and agreed, "He looks like a clever child; he'll definitely amount to something in the future."
"That's right, our Ye family is counting on my great-grandfather this generation."
Ms. Wei saw Ye Caiping from afar and her gaze fell on Ye Caiping's belly, which was already eight months along.
She's thirty and still having a baby, shameless!
So what if she's rich? It doesn't necessarily mean she'll be blessed with good fortune.
Her belly is round, and I heard Ye Caiping loves spicy food, just like Xiuxiu. She's definitely a girl.
Thinking about it, Ms. Wei was extremely pleased with herself.
She didn't dare to provoke Ye Caiping now, so she pretended not to see it.
Ye Caiping naturally ignored her and continued her happy walk with Shen Zhiyan.
Time slipped by in Ye Caiping's happiness and contentment.
The weather is gradually getting colder, and winter is approaching.
November 12th, at 9 PM.
Ye Caiping finally started.
Everyone in the family arrived and waited anxiously outside the room.
In the delivery room, Ye Caiping lay on the bed, while Shen Zhiyan sat beside her, holding her hand. The two remained locked in this stalemate.
Ye Caiping's face darkened: "Get out!"
Shen Zhiyan's face tightened: "I'll stay here with you."
Shen Zhiyan was terrified, feeling that Ye Caiping was too dangerous, and he didn't want her out of his sight.
Ye Caiping: "Giving birth isn't a pretty sight."
"It's okay, I don't mind."
Ye Caiping took a deep breath: "This is my dignity and my right to face."
Shen Zhiyan was taken aback and remained silent for a while before saying, "If anything happens, call my name."
"Um."
Shen Zhiyan then gently released her hand and left the room.
Once the room was closed, Shen Zhiyan sat on the bench under the veranda, remaining silent.
Inside the room, three midwives, Old Lady Ye, the village head's wife, and Madam Du were all helping out.
Outside, Ye Daquan's family, Ye Erquan, and Yinhua all arrived.
Because Shen Zhiyan remained silent, the three girls, like their father, were on edge, and the four of them sat together in a row.
The Ye brothers, their faces pale, were too frightened to speak as they listened to the sounds coming from the room.
When Mrs. Wei and Mr. Ye Peng learned that Ye Caiping had started labor, they were also eagerly awaiting it.
Mrs. Wei even held her grandson and circled around Ye Caiping's house once. Just as she was about to circle it a second time, she suddenly felt:
"My great-grandfather was a boy, so I can't let her share in his good luck!"
So he turned around and went home to stay there.
Ye Caiping tossed and turned all night, and at dawn, with a cry, the baby was finally born.
Ye Daquan and Old Man Ye exclaimed excitedly, "It's born! It's born!"
Shen Zhiyan jumped up and rushed to the door, banging on it: "Caiping, Caiping! What's wrong with you?"
Just then, with a creak, the door opened.
The midwife, Liao, holding his small swaddled body, smiled and said, "Congratulations, second son..."
"Cai Ping!" Shen Zhiyan rushed in in one stride.
The midwife, Liao, froze on the spot: "..."
Old Mrs. Ye and Madam Du were tidying up Ye Caiping when they saw Shen Zhiyan come in. They were startled, but luckily the dirty quilt and mattress had already been changed.
Shen Zhiyan knelt on one knee by the bed. He saw Ye Caiping with her eyes closed, her face pale and covered in sweat: "Caiping... how are you feeling?"
Ye Caiping opened her eyes and smiled weakly, "I'm fine, nothing's wrong."
Shen Zhiyan's eyes were slightly red, but seeing that she was in good spirits, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Have you seen the baby?
Shen Zhiyan shook his head. "What's so interesting about it?"
Although he had been looking forward to the birth of his child, when the moment finally arrived, all he could think about was the potential harm she might suffer, and the child seemed to become insignificant.
Ye Caiping glared at him: "That's my baby, he's beautiful in every way. Fine, I won't be angry with you anymore."
As she spoke, she reached out and touched his face.
Shen Zhiyan placed his hand on hers.
"Little sister! Little sister... Waaah, howl—" Ye Daquan's roar rang out from the doorway.
The two brothers tried to squeeze in, but were stopped by two midwives: "Men are not allowed in."
"My brother-in-law is inside, why can't we!"
"Can they be the same? Go away!"
"Mother!" Ye Jin'er and her two maids crawled in from under the midwife's arms.
The three of them ran to the bedside and looked at Ye Caiping with longing eyes.
Ye Jin'er's eyes were red from crying: "Does it hurt?"
Ye Huan'er: "I'll fuss over Mom."
Shen Manman: "Waaah~~"
Ye Caiping felt a warmth in her heart and patted each of them on the head.
Ye Jin'er asked, "Then... is it a younger brother or a younger sister?"
Ye Caiping smiled and said, "It's a boy."
The three girls' eyes lit up: "Wow! Hehe~~"
Outside the house, midwife Liao stiffly held her newborn baby, looking at the crowd of people crammed inside and the people blocking the doorway, utterly speechless.
