Auntie He cooked a large bowl of brown sugar eggs and placed them on a tray before carrying them to the delivery room. Seeing Li Yu’s calm expression, she was relieved and went forward to say gently, “Madam, eat something first.
You’ll have strength later.”
As she spoke, she picked up the ladle to feed Li Yu.
“Auntie He, I know. Give it to me. I’ll eat it myself.”
“Alright, eat it yourself!” Auntie He placed the bowl in Li Yu’s hand.
Li Yu endured the soreness in her waist and started eating. The bowl was filled with brown sugar eggs and she quickly finished it. She even finished the soup.
Seeing that Li Yu had finished eating, Auntie He smiled in relief and said, “Do you still want more? I’ll cook another bowl for you.”
Li Yu shook her head. Auntie He picked up the tray. “Rest well for a while. Save your energy so you’ll have strength when giving birth.”
“Alright,” Li Yu said, enduring the discomfort.
The sisters of the Wu family looked at Li Yu and said in admiration, “Madam is already very strong. If it were any other woman, they would have long shouted.”
“Yes, how can those women compare to our Madam?” Auntie He smiled proudly.
Granny Chen was also thinking that it would be good if the concubines in the harem were as courageous as Madam Li. There was no need for the midwife in the palace either. They were trembling in fear at the mention of delivering a child to a noble.
Ji Xiang rode his horse to the Ministry of Revenue. He got off his horse and ran quickly to the public house. When Zhou Jia saw Ji Xiang panting from running, he knew that Li Yu was due for delivery. He didn’t even put on his cloak and ran out.
Before Ji Xiang could even say anything, he saw that Zhou Jia had already run out and left on a horse. Ji Xiang could only drive the cart back with Tiezhu. Fan Mingfang and Madam Gong also received the news. The two of them rushed to Li Yu’s house.
Fan Mingfang looked at the delivery room worriedly and asked Madam Gong, “Aunt, why isn’t Sister making a sound? My cousin kept crying when she gave birth.”
Madam Gong recalled that when she gave birth to Lin Lan and her brother back then, the midwife had repeatedly instructed her to conserve her strength. Otherwise, she would not have the strength to give birth to the two children in the end.
“Ah Yu is pregnant with twins. She has to conserve her strength to give birth to two children. With her tenacious personality, as long as she can hold it in, she won’t cry loudly.”
When Fan Mingfang heard this, she clenched her fists nervously. She thought to herself that it was unfair for women to be the ones to give birth.
Everyone was waiting outside the delivery room when they suddenly saw Zhou Jia run into the courtyard like a gust of wind and rush towards the delivery room.
Auntie He and Madam Gong hurriedly stopped him. Madam Gong persuaded, “Jiahe, the delivery room is not a place for men to go. Just wait outside. Ah Yu will give birth to Lin’er safely.”
Zhou Jia looked at the two of them and knew that they would not let him in. He glanced at the door of the delivery room and said, “Aunt, I know. I’ll go to the window to take a look.”
Only then did the two of them let go of him. Zhou Jia turned around and rushed into the delivery room. At a zlance, he saw Li Yu, who was her teeth and enduring the pain. He rushed to the bed and grabbed her hand. He comforted her gently, “Yu’er, don’t be afraid. I’m back…”
Li Yu looked at him and smiled. “I’m fine. Don’t worry.”
“Don’t talk. Save your strength.” Zhou Jia took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat off her face. He looked at her affectionately. “I’ll stay here with you…”
Li Yu was unwilling to let him watch her give birth here. She shook her head at him. Zhou Jia looked at her and was unwilling to leave.
Auntie He and Madam Gong chased after her. Madam Gong looked at Li Yu and said with concern, “Ah Yu, Aunt will bring Jiahe out. The delivery room is not a place he should come to.”
A wave of soreness assaulted her. Li Yu was afraid that she would moan, so she gritted her teeth and gestured for Zhou Jia to go out.
Zhou Jia could only follow the two of them out of the delivery room. Seeing his worried expression, Madam Gong comforted him. “Jiahe, don’t worry. Aunt has seen that Ah Yu is in good spirits. It’s her second time. It should be soon.”
Zhou Jia bowed and thanked Madam Gong and Fan Mingfang. “Thank you, Aunt. The courtyard is cold. Go in and warm up with Ah Qing’s wife. I’ll guard here.”
Madam Gong shook her head and said, “There’s no need to enter the room. Granny Yang went to raise the brazier. We’ll stay here and watch.”
Soon, Granny Yang, Old Madam Liu, and the others came out with braziers. Xing Hua and the others brought out chairs and placed them in front of the brazier. Everyone sat there and looked at the delivery room.
Zhou Jia sat for a moment before he couldn’t sit still anymore. From time to time, he would run to the delivery room window to listen to the commotion inside. He looked at the delivery room eagerly and recalled the time Li Yu gave birth to Yangyang.
Mr. Wen, Seven Pounds, Zhizi, and Xiaoyu were also brought back to the residence by Zhao Cai to wait for Li Yu to give birth.
Seeing that Zhou Jia was restless, Mr. Wen comforted him. “Jiahe, don’t worry. Xiaoyu is strong and will definitely give birth smoothly.”
Zhou Jia nodded. “Sir, I know. I just can’t sit still.”
The sky gradually darkened. Other than Aunt Zhang entering and leaving the delivery room when she changed the water, there was no other movement.
Yangyang was also brought home by Ji Xiang. When he saw Zhou Jia circling around, he ran over in fear and grabbed Zhou Jia’s hand. “Father, where’s Mother? Are my siblings out?”
When Zhou Jia saw Yangyang’s worried and afraid expression, he forced a smile and picked him up. He pointed at the delivery room and said, “Mother is inside. Yang’er is a big child and is about to become an older brother. You have to be brave.”
Yangyang hugged Zhou Jia’s neck and pressed his forehead against Zhou Jia’s. “Father, don’t be afraid. My younger siblings and I agreed. They will come to see us obediently.”
Zhou Jia looked at the figure in his son’s eyes. “Yang’er is a little man. I’m not as brave as Yang’er.”
In the delivery room, Li Yu gritted her teeth. The soreness in her waist and the sinking feeling in her abdomen confused her. The indescribable pain tortured her until she let out a soft moan.
Eldest Sister-in-law Wu buried her head and checked. She looked up and said to Li Yu, “Madam, the uterus has already been opened. Bear with it a little longer and save your strength for the end.”
Granny Chen looked at the time and said to Aunt Zhang, “Aunt Zhang, bring a bowl of chicken soup noodles to Madam.”
“Yes, Granny.” Aunt Zhang hurriedly ran towards the kitchen.
When Old Madam Liu saw her, she asked, “How is it? Has Madam given birth?”
Aunt Zhang shook her head. “Not yet! Master’s face is pale. Give me the chicken soup noodles.”
“I’ve prepared it.”
Old Madam Liu placed the noodles in the tray and handed it to her. After Auntie Zhang sent it into the delivery room to feed Li Yu,
After another hour, Li Yu felt the pain becoming more and more intense. Li Yu groaned as a tearing pain assaulted her.
After Sister-in-law Wu checked, she said happily to Li Yu, “Madam, we can already see the end. Madam, take a deep breath. If you exert more strength, the children will come out.”
Li Yu gritted her teeth and exerted strength. An intense pain assaulted her.. She couldn’t help but call in pain for the person she wanted to see the most in the depths of her soul, “Mom…”
