Qin Jian, standing nearby, immediately became nervous. The couple looked at Jiang Jiuniang with the same expression, both conveying the same message: What should we do?
Jiang Jiuniang: ...You can't have two kinds of people sleeping in the same bed!
Logically speaking, Peng Yuan shouldn't have attended the wedding banquet, since she was about to give birth and her health was the most important thing. But Peng Yuan just wanted to join in the fun and let her child share in the joy. Unexpectedly, she absorbed too much joy, and the child, who also loves excitement, was eager to come out.
She took Peng Yuan's pulse and said, "It's only just started, you can go back. Let's go!"
Since Peng Yuan's due date is around this time, and the mansion has already prepared a delivery room according to Jiang Jiuniang's requirements, it would be better to go back.
Hearing Jiang Jiuniang's words, Qin Jian breathed a sigh of relief, picked up Peng Yuan and walked out, with Jiang Jiuniang and Lu Baichuan following closely behind.
Then, with this double celebration, the wedding banquet became even more lively.
"ah--"
Two hours later, weak and painful groans came from the room. Qin Jian held her hand and cried his heart out.
"It's all my fault, sob sob sob. I'll never let you suffer like this again. We only want this one child, sob sob sob..."
Jiang Jiuniang kindly handed him a handkerchief and said, "Wipe yourself first, so you don't spray dirt on Yuanyuan's face."
Qin Jian took the handkerchief and wiped his face, forcing himself to calm down. He asked Jiang Jiuniang, "How much longer? Why is childbirth taking so long? It's so agonizing! How much suffering must they endure!"
“This is common with first pregnancies. I’ve already given her painkillers, and it should ease up in a bit.”
Actually, Jiang Jiuniang had planned to perform a cesarean section on her, but the follow-up care after a cesarean section is very troublesome, and she estimated that she would be leaving soon and couldn't worry about that now.
Most importantly, Peng Yuan was hesitant to have a C-section; she was afraid of the scar on her sister's stomach. Respecting the mother's wishes, she opted for a natural birth.
Natural childbirth is slow; you have to endure it patiently.
During this time, Jiang Jiuniang got hungry and ate something.
Lu Baichuan was also having a hard time outside. Although Peng Yuan was the one giving birth now, he thought about how he wasn't by Jiang Jiuniang's side when she gave birth to Gou'er, and how she would have to give birth again in a few months. His heart was in turmoil.
He's content with having two children in his life and won't have any more, so his wife won't suffer as much.
How are you?
Lu Baichuan looked at Jiang Jiuniang, whose face was somewhat pale, and felt extremely distressed.
She's still suffering from morning sickness these past few days, and her stomach is full of the smell of blood. You can tell how uncomfortable she is just by looking at her face.
"It's alright, nothing's wrong."
Jiang Jiuniang had already made preparations, wearing a mask to minimize the smell.
After finishing her meal, Jiang Jiuniang put on a mask and went inside, then had someone prepare another bowl of ginseng soup for Peng Yuan to drink.
"Almost there, almost there. Come on, do as I say, take a deep breath..."
About half an hour later, a baby's cry nearly blew the roof off.
"Wow, it's a little boy, look at that powerful voice!"
Jiang Jiuniang had her maid move the child aside, and then began to treat Peng Yuan's wounds.
Qin Jian cried until his voice was hoarse, and he had no heart to look at the child. He just held Peng Yuan and cried.
When Peng Yuan's family arrived, they waited outside, listening to the loudest crying coming from inside, and for a moment they didn't know what to say.
Mrs. Peng's eyes also welled up with tears. She was happy that her daughter had found such a good husband. She had almost broken up such a good match before, and she was determined to make it up to her.
Peng Yuan was already going through enough hardship giving birth, and then there was a man crying loudly in her ear. She was immediately annoyed and slapped him on the head.
"Don't make a fuss, Sister Jiu Niang, let me see the child."
She was young and in good physical condition; she had just given birth and still had the strength to hit men.
The maid brought the child to her, and her eyes were filled with the rosy-cheeked baby in the swaddling clothes. A loving smile appeared on her face, and she didn't care at all what Qin Jian looked like next to her.
Qin Jian was not angry after being hit; instead, he laughed.
"Yes, you hit me like that, hit me as hard as you want! It's all my fault for making you suffer so much, we'll never do it again..."
"Shut up! Sister Jiu Niang, get him out of here, he's so annoying!"
At first, Peng Yuan was touched when Qin Jian accompanied her during childbirth. However, she later discovered that the man was crying even harder than she was and was completely useless, so she began to feel disgusted. But at that time, she was busy giving birth and didn't have time to get rid of him.
Now that she's had a baby, she needs some peace and quiet, so naturally she wants to get rid of this crybaby.
Jiang Jiuniang, standing to the side, was both amused and exasperated. She also tried to persuade him, "Brother Qin, please stop crying. Yuanyuan needs quiet rest right now. Why don't you find somewhere to finish crying first and then come back?"
Qin Jian knew he was being shameful, but he couldn't help it. He had been alone since childhood, and being able to win Peng Yuan's affection was already a blessing from his past life. He never dared to imagine that there was someone in this world who was connected to him by blood.
But now Peng Yuan gave him one.
He felt he could never repay the kindness of enduring so much pain to give him a living little life.
Thinking this, his emotions became even more turbulent. Knowing that his wife needed some peace and quiet, he hurriedly went out.
Seeing his parents-in-law waiting outside, he quickly wiped away his tears and bowed to them.
"Good girl, don't cry. Since you've chosen to have a child, this is something that every woman has to go through. Just take better care of Yuanyuan from now on."
Mrs. Peng offered a word of comfort before hurrying into the delivery room.
His father-in-law patted him on the shoulder, and although he didn't say anything, he nodded, showing his approval of him as a son-in-law.
Now only Lu Baichuan was left around. He walked over and said, "Brother, is there any way to prevent the woman from getting pregnant without harming my body? I only want this one child in my life; childbirth is too painful..."
As he spoke, he choked up and squatted down to cry.
Lu Baichuan wouldn't laugh at him, because he felt that Qin Jian today was himself tomorrow.
He even felt that he might be more worried than Qin Jian.
After all, Peng Yuan is having her daughter-in-law help her during childbirth, so there shouldn't be any problems. But when her daughter-in-law is giving birth, there won't be any female doctors with such excellent medical skills around. What if something unexpected happens?
"some."
He remembered the little things his wife had given him and said, "When my wife comes out in a bit, I'll ask her for you."
"Good, good, you're a true brother!"
As he spoke, Qin Jian got up and washed his face to the side, completely controlling his emotions. Then he went back into the room, wrapped Peng Yuan tightly in a blanket, and carried her out of the delivery room.
