Before He Ziqian could even enjoy the money he had just received from Sister-in-law He, Feng Qianqian urged him to go to Sister-in-law He to collect the money.
He had already come up with an excuse: He Ziqian was going south to wholesale pirated cassette tapes and needed the initial capital.
Sister-in-law He frowned: "You can make money by selling pirated copies?"
"Yes, definitely. Look how much money that shop across the street makes. Their tapes are all pirated, very cheap, low cost, high price. My genuine ones don't sell at all."
"Anyway, the shop is already open, so we have to make back our investment." He Ziqian rubbed his hands together. "I just haven't had any money on hand, so I haven't been able to go south. Mom, lend me some, and I promise I'll pay you back double when I make money."
Sister-in-law He didn't say anything, but she knew what her son was thinking.
But the thought of Yun Jin making a lot of money while her son lost money, having invested so much and being ridiculed, made Sister-in-law He angry.
He Ziqian pressed on: "Mom, don't worry, we'll definitely make money this time. If we don't, I'm not going to open the video store anymore, I'll go sell fried chicken instead."
Sister-in-law He didn't believe her: "You know how to make fried chicken?"
"I can't, but my wife can. Qianqian said she can. She'll make it for us after she gives birth and we'll see how it tastes." He Ziqian was envious of Yun Jin's fried chicken and burger shop, which was incredibly popular.
Sister-in-law He was also envious; they were truly mother and son.
After thinking for a moment, Sister-in-law He took out half of the gift money and gave it to He Ziqian: "Work hard, this is for your sister's college entrance banquet, you have to pay it back later."
He Ziqian felt that half was too little, so he continued to act cute and coax another two hundred yuan into his hands. Only after making sure that Sister-in-law He wouldn't give him any more did he take the money and leave, promising that he would definitely make money this time.
Sister-in-law He said, "Go early and come back early, your wife is about to give birth."
He Ziqian nodded: "I'll be back in a week."
She had just bought her train ticket and planned to head south tomorrow when, unexpectedly, Feng Qianqian's stomach started acting up that afternoon. This time, she was certain it wasn't urination; her stomach was cramping in waves, and she turned pale with fright: "I'm going into labor!"
Yun Jin and Xiao Niangao happened to be out of the house, and the car had already driven out.
When Mrs. He heard that the baby was about to be born, she was afraid it would be a false alarm like last time, so she asked carefully, "Are you really going into labor? Is your belly sagging?"
Feng Qianqian nodded: "Yes, Grandma, she's really going to give birth this time. Call me a car quickly, I need to go to the hospital."
Mother He immediately sent Father He to call a car, and then called Brother He and Sister He: "Where is Ziqian?"
"Going to buy train tickets." Feng Qianqian endured the pain and secretly took a breath.
"What is this? What kind of ticket is it? Where is he going?" Mrs. He took her wallet and helped Feng Qianqian onto the bus. Coincidentally, the bus was at home today. Thinking of her unreliable eldest grandson, Mrs. He was unhappy.
"I'm heading south to pick up the goods tomorrow." Feng Qianqian knew that she was about to give birth and probably wouldn't be able to go.
“You’re about to give birth, he’s not allowed to go anywhere. He has to stay home and take care of you during your postpartum period. I’m an old woman, I can’t take care of him.” Mrs. He wanted to live a few more years and didn’t want to work herself to death.
Upon hearing that He's mother was giving up, Feng Qianqian exclaimed, "Grandma, even if their father had three heads and six arms, he probably couldn't take care of two children!"
Anyway, she lives in a villa, so how could the old lady just stand by and do nothing?
Feng Qianqian wanted to steal He's mother's attention; if she could take care of Yun Jin's child, she could take care of hers too.
She didn't care whether she was tired or not; all she cared about was giving birth.
He Ziqian only found out that Feng Qianqian had gone to the hospital to give birth when he returned. He immediately rode his motorcycle to the hospital to see her. What was going on? Couldn't she have waited until he left before giving birth?
In this lifetime, his trip south fell through again, and he lost out on a lot of money.
When Yun Jin and Xiao Niangao returned, they saw that only the aunt was at home. Without Yun Jin asking, the aunt took the initiative to tell them about Feng Qianqian giving birth. Yun Jin nodded slightly to indicate that she knew and asked Xiao Niang what she wanted to eat.
"I want to eat fried rice with eggs, the kind Dad makes." Little Rice Cake misses her dad.
Yun Jin touched her head: "I'll ask your dad to make you fried rice with eggs again later. How about Mom makes it for you tonight?"
Little Rice Cake nodded. Although Mom's cooking skills weren't great, it wasn't unpalatable. Dad said that even if Mom's cooking wasn't very good, he should still say it was delicious so as not to dampen her enthusiasm for cooking.
Yun Jin planned to show off her cooking skills to her daughter, but she didn't control the heat well, and the fried rice was overcooked and a little burnt.
Yun Jin picked out the burnt bits, and the mother and daughter managed to eat a couple of bites of the remaining good ones, but they were too salty, so they gave up: "How about Mom takes you to eat Zha Jiang Mian (noodles with soybean paste)?"
"Okay!" It's not that she doesn't want to eat it, it's that her mother won't give it to her!
After finishing their noodles with soybean paste, it was completely dark when they returned. He's parents still hadn't come back, but Yun Jin didn't care. She knew the baby wouldn't be born anytime soon, and it would be even harder for Feng Qianqian to conceive two children.
If she can't give birth naturally, she'll have to be delivered via C-section.
That's enough trouble for her.
Yun Jin guessed correctly. After Feng Qianqian was taken to the hospital, the doctor examined her and said she was about to give birth. Knowing it was twins, the doctor frowned and asked Feng Qianqian how much pain she was experiencing.
Feng Qianqian said she could still tolerate it.
When she couldn't take it anymore and cried out in pain, asking the doctor to perform a C-section, the doctor looked at her dilated platelet count and told her to hang in there and try harder.
Feng Qianqian could only persevere, but after another two hours, she still couldn't give birth, and she was already numb with pain.
Seeing that something was wrong, the doctor, with the family's consent, decided to perform a cesarean section.
He Ziqian did not plan to have a C-section: "Can't she give birth? It's been so long, let her keep trying, give it her all. A natural birth is better than a C-section."
Sister-in-law He nodded: "Yes, we won't do a C-section, let her give birth."
The doctor explained the current situation and said that the mother had done her best.
