Chapter 338 Nephew
It's been so long.
My legs are already swollen and thick.
"You little loser, instead of going with your sister to collect firewood, you're just causing trouble everywhere. Why did the wild boar hit you instead of the little beast from the Jiang family? Now that your leg is broken, you don't expect me to spend money to hire a doctor to save you, do you? Dream on! Just lie there, life or death depends on your fate."
Zhou Gaier leaned against the door and cursed.
She originally wanted to sell Sanniu for money.
Now my legs are broken.
What else are you selling?
So, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law turned their attention to Jiang Erniu.
Jiang Sanniu, who was lying on the bed, had already cried dry.
In the next few days, Jiang Fubao went around paying New Year's greetings to people, including the Kong and Meng families in the town, as well as several other families with whom he had a good relationship.
He even went to the Fang family in Chang'an Town.
This time, not only Jiang Fubao, but also Jiang Ruyi and Jiang Huanyu went.
The Fang family is not short of money.
So Zhang Jinlan brought a lot of mushrooms and bamboo shoots collected from the village, as well as small potatoes from her own garden, and sun-dried bacon.
Yunlan was very happy to see them.
He let them sleep there all night before leaving.
The last day of Chinese New Year.
At Qian Ping'an's home in Qianjia Village, the couple were arguing.
Zhu Paner, who had been taught a lesson by the Jiang family, was still planning on Qian Xile.
"Hmph, the New Year is almost over, and your sister really doesn't want to come back. What girl is like her? Her parents won't want her anymore. Just wait. If she gives birth to a boy, it will be better. But if she gives birth to a money-losing baby, I don't believe the Jiang family will treat her well. She will suffer the consequences. Ugh!"
Zhu Pan'er was eating the bland cabbage soup.
My nose is red from the cold.
"You still dare to say that? Were you not beaten enough? Your right foot is still lame, doesn't it hurt? I tell you, if you go looking for Xile again, you will, you will!"
After all, Qian Ping'an's right hand was broken, and he had been seeing a quack doctor.
Therefore, the recovery is not good.
I can't even straighten my fingers.
He was still as cowardly as ever and didn't even dare to finish his words.
"What did I say?" Zhu Paner's eyes were as big as copper bells.
"You go by yourself. I'm not going anyway. I don't want to be beaten again. My right hand hurts a lot when it's windy and rainy."
Qian Ping'an rubbed his right hand, and the pain came back again.
The couple are both miserable.
During the Chinese New Year, we can’t even afford brown rice, let alone meat.
The money to pay the fine and buy brown rice was obtained by selling two acres of land at a low price.
Otherwise Qian Ping'an would have to go repair the river embankment.
Qian Xile, who was always on Zhu Paner's lips, came after the spring planting was over.
Started.
The family just finished dinner.
Jiang Dahe drove the carriage to pick up the midwife who had been found long ago.
The others were also busy.
Jiang Tongjin half-knelt beside the bed, so anxious that he almost fainted.
"Men, get out. It's against the rules to stay here. Women are giving birth, it's very dirty. Be careful not to get contaminated. Get out now."
As soon as the midwife arrived, she wanted to drive Jiang Tongjin away.
Stopped by Zhang Jinlan.
"Just let him stay here. We don't have these broken rules in our house."
Even when Zhang Jinlan was giving birth, her husband came in to accompany her.
Not to mention her grandson.
Xile is giving birth to a baby. If you don’t come in and accompany her, you are not worthy of being a husband.
The midwife was shocked when she heard what Zhang Jinlan said.
In her entire life, this was the first time she saw a man enter the delivery room.
But she took the money to do the job, so she didn't say much.
"Okay, then get out of the way and don't delay her delivery."
So Jiang Tongjin was driven aside.
He had to stand on tiptoe to see his wife lying on the bed. Worried that Qian Xile would be scared, he encouraged her: "Wife, don't be afraid. I'm here with you."
"It's time to give birth. Are you hungry? Do you want to eat something?" The midwife lifted the quilt, looked at the situation, and reached out to check.
"I'm not hungry. I just had dinner." The contractions came.
Qian Xile frowned in pain.
She thought of the midwife's words.
I managed to hold back from screaming out.
Zhang Jinlan and Zhu Yingqiu stood at the head of the bed, holding her hands, encouraging her and wiping her sweat.
One sat at the end of the bed, occasionally lifting the quilt to take a look.
As for Jiang Fubao, she is just a child.
How can I enter the delivery room?
She was stopped outside.
Walking back and forth in a hurry.
“Ah, it hurts, it hurts so much——”
Suddenly, a heart-wrenching scream came from the room.
Qian Xile was in so much pain that she almost fainted.
Jiang Tongjin was so heartbroken that he cried.
"Wife, we won't have any more children. Not anymore. After this one, we won't have any more in the future." His mouth was trembling as he spoke.
"Be patient, don't scream, or you'll lose all your strength. The baby is in a good position and not very big. Don't worry, as long as you listen to me, I guarantee that the baby will be born safely."
The midwife is an experienced hand and knows everything just by touching the belly.
Under her guidance, Qian Xile began to take rhythmic deep breaths.
Following the midwife's roar.
She gathered all her strength into one place.
"Uh ah ah -"
"I see the beginning, try harder, it's almost there, it's almost out, good job, give it one last push, it's coming, it's coming—"
"Wow ah ah-"
The baby's crying sound spread into the yard.
The people waiting outside were extremely excited.
Jiang Tongjin also cried with joy.
"Congratulations, it's a boy—"
When the midwife saw that the baby was a boy, she knew that she would have to pay more reward today.
However, Jiang Tongjin didn't even smile at the midwife.
He knelt beside the bed and held Qian Xile's hand.
Crying and weeping.
"Wife, we won't have any more children, and we won't have any more in the future."
Not only did he not care about the midwife, he didn't even care about his son.
He didn't even hug her, but just kept talking to Qian Xile.
Zhang Jinlan and Zhu Yingqiu also crowded at the edge of the village, concerned about Qian Xile.
As a result, no one paid any attention to the midwife holding the child.
She thought she was delivering a baby girl.
For a moment, I was a little confused.
It took a long time before Zhang Jinlan realized that she had a great-grandson.
When sending the midwife away, he also stuffed a piece of silver into her pocket.
not much.
It’s only about two hundred coins.
"It's very strange. He looks unhappy, but he gives money. So is he happy or unhappy?"
Jiang Dahe sent the midwife away.
In the carriage, the midwife talked to herself.
inside the house.
Qian Xile had already been washed by her mother-in-law and grandmother.
She lay in bed and rested.
He was wearing a hat on his head that even covered his forehead above his eyebrows.
Fortunately, the labor was quick. She went into labor right after dinner, and it was just dark after she gave birth.
I didn't suffer too much.
She gently held the child beside her pillow. Although it was not the daughter she wanted, it was her first child after all, and she liked her no matter how she looked at her.
Jiang Fubao was finally able to come in.
"Sister-in-law, you've worked hard. You're so great. You gave me a little nephew. He's just a little ugly. I don't know if he can get married when he grows up. It's okay. When the time comes, I'll ask grandma to give me some more money so that my little nephew can marry the most beautiful wife."
Jiang Fubao leaned against the bed and saw his little nephew who was red, wrinkled and looked like a monkey.
He curled his lips in disgust.
Since the child is born by my sister-in-law, it doesn’t matter if he is ugly.
She admitted it.
