Before she could even lament that novels are all lies, and that even a child born from her own womb requires nurturing a relationship over time, her stomach started hurting again.
"Ouch!" she cried out, and the doctors rushed over and gently touched her stomach.
Sure enough, she received a small fist in response, "Hey, there's another little one in your belly!"
Everyone was truly happy for the new mother. While helping Ke Meiyu control the pace of her push, they laughed and said, "Twins are very rare, let alone triplets or quadruplets. In my more than ten years of medical practice, I have never seen anything like it before, with five babies in my belly, like you, comrade."
"And the little ones are all very healthy, each one crying out loud like a baby, it's so delightful!"
Five minutes later, the fifth little one joined his older siblings, not to be outdone, and started crying in his baby voice.
Ever since Ke Meiyu was taken into the delivery room, Ke's mother and Ying Yan have been waiting outside. The old lady borrowed a phone to call home, and before long, every member of the Ke family in Kyoto was waiting outside.
Ying Yan clenched his fists, his face was pale, and large beads of sweat fell to the ground one by one.
Not long after, the door opened, and the new mother, covered in blood, was wheeled out.
He staggered slightly, and if Ke Yuanxia hadn't pulled him up, he would have definitely fallen.
Everyone glanced at him, but no one laughed; they just craned their necks to look.
Yu Jingyuan and Dong Youlan walked over quickly. The two families glanced at each other and then each took a side.
"Have Ling Yifei's family members arrived?" the nurse called out as she opened the door.
Yu Jingyuan stepped forward with a slightly hurried expression. "Hello, nurse, I am Ling Yifei's husband."
"Oh, congratulations, it's a boy and a girl. Just wait, we'll get the mother and babies ready and then come out."
Dong Youlan said happily, "Thank you, nurse," and then said to her son-in-law, "My Yifei is so lucky to have twins, a son and a daughter. I was worried that she would have two girls."
“The girl is good, but once she gets married, she belongs to another family. Besides, the family has a son, so the girl won’t be mistreated if she marries out.”
But her eyes darted to the old lady and Ke's mother, as if to say, "Let's see who's the lucky one."
Although Ke Meiyu's belly is big, her appetite is astonishing. Who knows if she's carrying a baby or just stuffed? Maybe they're going to be two money-losing babies!
Ying Yan stepped forward and asked with a serious face, "Nurse, how is Comrade Ke Meiyu?"
The nurse frowned, about to say that there were many pregnant women in the delivery room, so how would she know? But why did this name sound so familiar?
She suddenly realized, "Oh, comrade, you mean that Comrade Ke Meiyu who has an unusually large belly and is exceptionally beautiful?"
"She's doing great. She was the last one to go in, and she's already given birth. You two are so lucky to have five beautiful and well-behaved babies. My colleagues are helping with the tidying up and taking notes, so we'll have to stay a little longer."
Five?
Everyone was stunned. The old lady held up a hand and asked, "Girl, are there five?"
"That's right. I thought it was twins, since twins are quite common. I never expected there to be another one in my belly, and another one after I gave birth. Oh my, you guys have no idea how lively it was."
"The nurses and doctors in the room all went to see her, and even some of the expectant mothers couldn't resist going to see her and share in the joy. Four is enough, isn't it? Not long after, Comrade Ke Meiyu's stomach started hurting again."
"When the doctor put his hand on her stomach, the little one impatiently kicked her hard! Three boys and two little girls, just wait, they'll probably be out soon."
Every word he said was a slap in the face to Dong Youlan. What did he mean by "twins are common" and "little darling"?
What kind of joy is this? Is this something that Ko Mei-yu, the jinx, should have?
The Ke family was both surprised and delighted, pacing back and forth. It was the old lady who directed people to go back to the ward and get a few more sets of bedding. They had brought two sets beforehand, assuming that Ke Meiyu was pregnant with twins, since they had a family history of this.
They never imagined that two could become five. In this era of scarcity, resources were scarce, and they couldn't afford to take over the organization's resources.
Ying Yan finally sat down in a chair, his legs weak. Suddenly, he froze and slammed his fist against the wall.
He finally understood what this little woman had traded her lucky koi fish life for!
She's afraid of pain, but she also wants her home to be lively—isn't that exactly what she's good at?
Thankfully, she was alright. Otherwise, he would have followed her to the death and never let her go for generations.
The new mother was exhausted and drowsy, but Ke Meiyu showed none of that.
She looked them over excitedly, left and right. The little ones were wrinkled and red, with grime still on their heads. The doctors and nurses all praised them for being good-looking and having fair skin.
She said she didn't see it that way, and actually found it cute in its ugliness.
The little ones were probably hungry, as they would occasionally let out a howl, then sadly gnaw on their hands.
After everything was tidied up and they were observed for another half hour, the mother and her six children were finally wheeled out.
The children cried and screamed all the way...
The Ke family quickly took her over, and seeing Ke Meiyu all smiles and looking cheerful, they couldn't help but offer their heartfelt greetings.
When they arrived at the ward, no matter how small the room was, the Ke family members had to be there. Grandma Ke, Mother Ke, and four daughters-in-law from the Ke family each took care of a nursing baby, and then there was a new mother.
Even though the five children are well-behaved, their crying and fussing one after another is still incredibly delightful.
I gave each child some water, and they all gulped down the 30 milliliters in no time. Water didn't stop them from getting full, and the children launched into a new round of guzzling.
The family had plenty of formula, and it was all secretly replaced with the first-stage formula for infants from the future by Ke Meiyu.
