Chapter 293 A baby girl was born.
"I haven't even made a move yet, have I?"
Wan Qiqi smiled faintly, but her eyes were full of indifference.
Just then, the wolf cub suddenly rushed out and bumped into Old Mrs. Chen's feet.
The peregrine falcon also appeared at this moment, chasing after the wolf cub and pecking at Old Mrs. Chen several times.
The wolf cub and the peregrine falcon started fighting at Old Mrs. Chen's feet.
Instead of teaching each other a lesson, they tripped up Old Mrs. Chen and started biting and pecking at her.
However, Wan Qiqi had already treated the sharp beak and teeth, so at most it would hurt a few times, but there would be no open wounds or bleeding.
However, the occurrence of these two kinds of pain one after another was also a torment for Mrs. Chen.
Eventually, she got into a fight with two animals on the ground.
An'an chased after them, and when she saw the scene before her, fear was evident in her eyes.
Then she burst into tears.
Upon hearing the noise, Chen Yongnian rushed out immediately, quickly separated the old lady from the two animals, and then used the wolf cub and the peregrine falcon by their necks to comfort An'an.
After all that commotion, Mrs. Chen's hair and clothes were disheveled.
She sat on the ground, looking like a crazy old woman.
She pointed in Chen Yongnian's direction and began to curse, "You beast! You beast! This old woman will kill you today!"
The commotion caused by the Chen family attracted many villagers.
As soon as they stood still, they saw Old Mrs. Chen pointing at Chen Yongnian and An'an and cursing them, saying that she would kill them.
The villagers' faces all showed fear, and their gazes toward Old Mrs. Chen became complicated.
Everyone knows that Wang Zhi had long ago separated from the Chen family with her three brothers.
It's normal for Old Mrs. Chen to come and visit when Li Chongniang gives birth, but it's a bit much to cause trouble!
The hushed whispers around her gradually irritated Old Mrs. Chen, and she roared, "Wan Qiqi, did you set me up?"
Wan Qiqi shrugged and spread her hands.
She was genuinely unaware of this matter.
The wolf cub and the peregrine falcon haven't fought for a long time!
How could she have known that a fight would suddenly break out today!
However, Old Mrs. Chen must be dealt with; she cannot be allowed to continue making a scene and affecting Li Chongniang's childbirth.
Wan Qiqi bowed to the villagers in all directions and said, "Fellow villagers, please judge this. Chongniang went into labor before dawn today, and we rushed to fetch a midwife."
"The midwife had just arrived when Grandma arrived!"
"She kept telling the insect mother not to give birth and to wait until midnight tonight."
"Many of you here have given birth, and you should know that when a child is going to be born, there's no reason to hold it back."
"But Grandma just wouldn't listen. She kept arguing at the door, and now we don't even know how the baby girl is doing. She's still blocking the birth. This is going to mean the Chen family will lose both mother and child this New Year..."
As Wan Qiqi finished speaking, she strategically wiped the corner of her eye, as if she were wiping away tears.
How could the old lady be so heartless?
"Exactly! Who would try to push a baby back into its place after childbirth? That would be the death of Chen Li Shi!"
"I heard that when Chen Wangshi gave birth to Yongliang, the old lady was in the same situation, and it almost cost Chen Wangshi her life!"
"I had almost forgotten about it until you mentioned it, but there really was such a thing!"
"Poor Lady Chen, not even forty years old, and her hair has already grown out!"
Wan Ziyan couldn't help but sigh.
He thought it was just a farce today, but he didn't expect that Old Mrs. Chen had done this kind of thing before.
Looking at Wan Qiqi again, a hint of worry appeared in his eyes.
I wonder if the old lady was like this when my sister gave birth to Pingping and An'an.
Amidst the whispers, Wan Qiqi's face gradually darkened. "Husband, take Grandma back!"
"I'm not leaving. My granddaughter-in-law hasn't given birth yet. I'm not going back. I want to watch her give birth to a boy for the Chen family!" Old Mrs. Chen forcefully pried open Chen Yongnian's hand that was supporting her.
Wan Qiqi showed no mercy, coldly saying, "You've almost killed her!"
Just as everyone was at a stalemate, a loud "whoosh" came from inside the house, silencing the entire courtyard.
"It's born! It's born!" The midwife ran out excitedly, her hands stained with blood. She smiled at Wan Qiqi and said, "It's a beautiful girl!"
Girl?
Grandma Zhao slumped to the ground with a thud, a look of disappointment on her face. "What bad luck! I told you I couldn't have children now!"
Before Chen Yongnian could help her up, she stood up on her own and staggered out.
The villagers who had gathered around had not yet dispersed, blocking the way for Old Mrs. Chen to leave.
Old Mrs. Chen grumbled, "What are you all standing here watching? It's been born, a girl!"
The villagers who had come to watch the commotion, unsure whether it was because of Old Mrs. Chen or because she had given birth to a girl, sighed and left the Chen family home one after another.
In the courtyard, Chen Yongxing and Wang Zhi came out of the kitchen and were somewhat surprised to hear the child crying loudly.
"She gave birth?" Chen Yongxing seemed a little dazed, as if he couldn't believe the fact that she had given birth.
Wan Qiqi's previous coldness vanished, and she smiled gently, "Yes, she's given birth! Go in and see the Insect Mother, ask her what she wants to eat, and I'll go prepare it!"
“Good…good…good…” Chen Yongxing said “good” three times in a row.
His face was filled with undisguised joy, and even his steps as he entered the house seemed much lighter.
Wang's worried expression instantly turned into joy, "It's good that she gave birth..."
She was worried that Li Chongniang would suffer because of Old Mrs. Chen, but once she gave birth, everything would be fine.
Wan Qiqi tentatively asked, "Mother, it was a girl..."
Wang Zhi's joy remained unchanged despite Wan Qiqi's words; the corners of her mouth still turned up as she said, "Anything is fine! Anything is fine..."
Wan Qiqi breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Wang Zhi truly didn't care whether he was male or female.
