Before dawn, Jiang Jiuniang already had a feeling.
She didn't say anything, and let Lu Baichuan take her to the room that had been prepared in advance. Then she told Lu Baichuan, "You guard the door for me. Don't let anyone in, no matter who it is."
Lu Baichuan nodded, holding her hand reluctantly. Originally, the couple's plan was for Lu Baichuan to accompany her inside, but now that there were more than three people in the house, they couldn't do it too openly, so she had to do it alone.
"Alright, you can get out now. I know what I'm doing."
Jiang Jiuniang frowned and urged him on; if Lu Baichuan didn't leave soon, she was about to lose her temper and start cursing.
"Be careful, I'll be right outside the door. Call me if you need anything."
Lu Baichuan sighed, and after giving his instructions, he reluctantly went outside to keep watch.
Almost the instant he closed the door, Jiang Jiuniang entered the sterile room in the space. Her attack had already begun, and she was sweating profusely from the pain. After entering, she first gave herself an injection of painkillers, and then forced herself to use the instruments to check the condition of herself and her child.
Fortunately, all the instruments here are intelligent, and she can easily operate them by herself.
After completing all the preparations, Jiang Jiuniang ate some food to replenish her strength and energy so that she would have the strength to give birth later.
She got up and walked around a few times to induce contractions, talking to her baby as she went: "Sweetie, don't be afraid, Mommy's with you. You'll just come out like this in a little while, don't torture Mommy, okay?..."
After walking around several times, her cervix dilated to the required level, so she lay back down, took deep breaths to gather her strength, and began labor.
Her physical data and delivery footage were constantly playing on the large screens around her, allowing her to accurately understand which stage she was at. She remained calm and even chatted with her baby while pushing.
When it was dawn, Madam Sun got up and saw her son pacing anxiously in the yard. She immediately became nervous and hurried over to ask, "Third son, has your wife started giving birth?"
Lu Baichuan nodded, his voice trembling without him even realizing it: "Yes, we went in before dawn, and it's been more than an hour."
Sun immediately flew into a rage, slapped Lu Baichuan across the face, and yelled, "How could you not say a word about something so important! Is everything prepared? Come quick, get hot water and all that ready, quick, quick, quick!"
She was so anxious that she didn't have time to blame Lu Baichuan. Just then, Madam Yu came out, and she helped Madam Yu with the work.
After being busy for a while, she suddenly remembered something important. She looked around the room nervously and said to Lu Baichuan, "Why hasn't there been a sound for so long? Did she faint from the pain? What kind of husband are you? You don't even care about something this important! How did someone like you manage to get a wife!"
As Sun was about to go inside, Lu Baichuan quickly pulled his mother back, saying, "Mother, have you forgotten what she said before?"
Lu Baichuan closed his eyes and said, "She hasn't uttered a sound since she went in. She's stronger than anyone else."
Hearing this, Madam Sun realized that she was just worried and confused, but she still said, "What if something really happens to her inside..."
"No, I believe her."
Mrs. Sun was exasperated: "Giving birth is like a woman walking through the gates of hell. All this talk about believing or not believing is nonsense!"
“Mother! You’re not helping her like this! I’ve prepared everything I need, so please don’t worry too much.”
Lu Baichuan was worried not only about his wife but also about his mother. He felt helpless and said to Yu Shi, "Sister-in-law, take Mother inside to rest. I'll stay here and watch over her."
She was genuinely worried about Jiang Jiuniang. She wanted to go in but was also afraid of ruining Jiang Jiuniang's plans. After all, her son wasn't the kind of person who would harm his wife. Caught between a rock and a hard place, she wasn't in a good state.
Although Yu was also worried about Jiang Jiuniang, she was much more rational than Sun. She tried to pull Sun away, but was refused.
Old Lu also chimed in, "Old woman, don't worry. Don't you know how skilled your third son's wife is in medicine? Relax."
Sun wiped her face, trying to calm herself down, and said with red eyes, "I'm not leaving, I'll wait here."
Over the years, Madam Sun had long regarded Jiang Jiuniang as her own daughter. At this moment, she was even more worried than Lu Baichuan. How could she go back and wait for news with peace of mind?
Seeing Sun's state, Lu Baichuan felt distressed but didn't know what to say, so he could only wait by her side.
Inside the sterile room, Jiang Jiuniang had no idea that she had caused such a commotion outside. At that moment, she saw the baby's head emerging from the screen. She took a deep breath, pushed, and gave birth to the baby.
She breathed a sigh of relief, smiled, propped herself up to cut the umbilical cord, simply wrapped the baby up, treated her own wounds, and after confirming that the wounds were not serious, she took the baby out of the space.
Jiang Jiuniang reached out and patted the baby's bottom. The baby in the swaddling clothes reacted for a moment and started to cry. Lu Baichuan outside heard the sound and knew that his wife was ready. He carried a basin of hot water and pushed the door open to go in.
Upon seeing this, Madam Sun immediately followed her inside.
"Wife, how are you?"
Lu Baichuan carefully picked up the child and handed him to Sun Shi, but his eyes were fixed on Jiang Jiuniang, worried that something might happen to her.
Seeing that Jiang Jiuniang's complexion was rosy, Madam Sun was completely relieved and personally bathed her newborn granddaughter. She had practiced countless times during this period and her technique was very skillful.
Jiang Jiuniang shook her head, then looked at the busy Sun Shi and said, "Mother, I took painkillers and I don't feel any pain at all, so don't worry."
Sun lowered her head, not wanting Jiang Jiuniang to see her reddened eyes, and said stubbornly, "Who's worried about you? I'm worried about my little granddaughter!"
Yes, with this pregnancy, Jiang Jiuniang's wish came true, and she gave birth to a little girl.
She has instruments in her space that can be used to see the child after it has fully formed.
Both she and Lu Baichuan knew about it long ago, but they didn't tell their families.
Jiang Jiuniang knew that she was just being stubborn but soft-hearted, so she didn't take it too seriously and just grinned.
Feeling a little uncomfortable from her laughter, Mrs. Sun quickly wrapped up the cleaned baby, said, "I'll take the baby out for your father to see," and hurried away.
Knowing that the young couple had something to say, Mrs. Yu tactfully followed them out, leaving only the two of them in the house.
Lu Baichuan wrung out the handkerchief, carefully lifted the quilt to help her wash her body, put on the loose nightgown he had prepared beforehand, then bent down to kiss Jiang Jiuniang's forehead and said, "Wife, you've worked hard."
Now that they have both a son and a daughter, they are content and will not have any more children, so their daughter-in-law will no longer have to suffer.
Hearing his slightly trembling voice, Jiang Jiuniang felt no regret at all for having his child.
This man deserves it.
