"You guys go about your business, I'm fine, just taking a stroll."
Seeing that the clinic was crowded, mostly with women, Jiang's father left the clinic and headed towards a bookstore on the side.
Jiang's parents didn't go anywhere that day. If nothing else happened, they would go see the other children the next day.
That night, Jiang Qi suddenly woke up, feeling a stomachache and needing to go to the toilet.
"What's wrong? Does your stomach hurt?"
Dr. Chu was not sleeping soundly; he woke up as soon as Jiang Qi moved.
"My stomach hurts a little, I need to go to the toilet."
Jiang Qi was still a little embarrassed, and her voice was a bit low.
"Let me see, how much does it hurt?"
Knowing the symptoms of premature labor, Dr. Chu quickly got up and took Jiang Qi's pulse.
"You're about to give birth. You wait in the room while I go and call someone to fetch a midwife and have someone boil water."
Dr. Chu had already spoken with the midwife he knew, and after getting dressed, he quickly sent his servants to fetch her.
Hearing the commotion, Jiang's mother also got dressed and came out.
"What's wrong? Is Qi'er about to give birth?"
"Mother-in-law, my wife is about to give birth. Please come in and keep her company. I'll arrange for someone to boil water."
"Okay, you go ahead, I'll go keep an eye on her."
Jiang's mother hurried inside. Everyone in the family was awake, including An Ran.
"Nanny, Mother will be alright, right?"
"Miss, don't worry, Madam will be alright."
Grandma comforted the young lady, saying that the child had a hard life, having lost her mother at a very young age, but had just found a good stepmother, and that she must take good care of herself.
Soon after, the midwife arrived, and the water had boiled.
Dr. Chu and the midwife went into the room together and took a look. It was quite fast; the birth canal had already opened.
Jiang Qi felt her stomach being pulled, and it hurt so much that it was unbearable.
Granny Xing brought over the sweet egg soup prepared by the cook, and Jiang Qi endured the pain and ate two.
"Alright, that's about it. Let's start preparing."
Hot water was carried in basin by basin, and bloody water was carried out basin by basin.
Jiang's father stood in the courtyard, pacing back and forth, silently praying that the ancestors of the Jiang family would bless Jiang Qi so that she could give birth to a son smoothly.
"Waaaah...waaaah..."
The sound of a baby crying came from the room. Jiang Qi had given birth to a son safely, and both mother and child were well.
