After being jilted, the entire neighboring village was filled with deep regret.

Chapter 141 Su Tai Production
Su Tai chuckled to herself and led Han Shi to the second room opposite the kitchen. "Mother, you can stay here first. It's more convenient to go to the kitchen and the bathroom. I'll stay next to you when I give birth and during my postpartum period."

As she spoke, she pushed open the door and let Han Shi in.

As soon as Han stepped onto the floor inside the house, she noticed that it was paved with colorful stones, just like the main room, and was exceptionally smooth. She exclaimed again, "Is Shen Yi just bored and has nothing better to do? How come he even cleaned the floor so meticulously?"

Su Tai smiled and said, "Mother, don't you think the floor looks clean and tidy after this treatment? It even makes people feel better!"

"It's clean and tidy, but it's too much work! There are only two of you, and you have so much work to do. I don't know how you manage to do it!" Mrs. Han couldn't understand.

Su Tai stopped him as soon as he put the bundle into the cabinet.

"The bathroom has hot water and scented soap right there. Before it snows, I'll go take a nice hot bath and soak for a while. It'll feel so good!"

Han was somewhat tempted, but after Su Tai glanced at the bathhouse, she immediately gave in, took some clean clothes, and enjoyed a comfortable hot bath.

Dinner consisted of potstickers, goat milk chicken soup pancakes, and stir-fried vegetables. There were three of us, and the meal was served on one table.

Han has a completely new understanding of their "luxurious" lifestyle.

However, she had learned her lesson by now and didn't say anything about the young couple in public.

Meimei ate dinner.

Han insisted on washing the dishes and cleaning up, not letting Su Tai do any work.

Su Tai was happy to have some free time.

Sleeping at night, watching Shen Xiang and the others work during the day, chatting with Han Shi, and doing needlework—it was quite comfortable.

On the fifth night after Han's arrival.

Su Tai's belly finally started to move.

In the dead of night, Shen Yi, holding an umbrella, braved the cold wind and rain to find the midwife's house in the village and pounded on the door.

The midwife's family was awakened by the noise.

Upon hearing that Su Tai was about to give birth, the midwife, Cao, didn't delay. She casually put on a coat and a raincoat and hurriedly followed Shen Yi back.

When Shen Yi arrived home, Madam Xu and Shen Zhuang also came.

The couple were busy, one chopping wood and starting a fire, the other boiling water to prepare scissors and candles, and also scalding wooden basins and cloths to prepare some food for Su Tai.

So busy I was practically running around on my feet.

When Cao arrived, she found that Xu had already finished half of the work. She nodded repeatedly, went into the delivery room to check on Su Tai, and then calmly came out. When she met Shen Yi's anxious gaze, she remained calm, but was a little puzzled. "Shen Yi, what did you do in your room? Why is it so warm?"

Hearing this, Madam Han, who was accompanying Su Tai, also said, "I just found it strange. When Xiao Tai first entered this room, it was chilly inside, but in just a short while, it seems to have been rejuvenated. I didn't see any charcoal brazier or anything in the room."

Shen Yi pointed to the long table next to the bed and said, "The thing under the table looks like a charcoal stove or a fire pit. I lit the fire inside before I left. Mother-in-law, open the copper lid in the middle of the table and put the kettle on it to boil water. When you don't need it, just put the copper lid back on to avoid getting burned."

"Auntie, how is my wife?"

Seeing Shen Yi's anxiety, Cao quickly reassured him, "Your wife is fine, the baby is in the right position, she just won't give birth so soon. Go to the main room and wait patiently, leave everything to me."

Although Shen Yi had a thousand and one worries, he really couldn't help right now and could only obediently wait on the side to avoid causing trouble. However, he couldn't stay idle, so he went to the back and made sure the stove was burning brightly, trying to make the delivery room as warm as possible.

He didn't know how long he had been busy, but when the rooster crowed, Su Tai let out a few shrill screams from the delivery room. Shen Yi was so frightened that he was about to rush in, but just as he pushed open the door, he heard a baby crying.

My whole body felt frozen in place, unable to move.

Inside the house, Mrs. Cao exclaimed excitedly, "It's born! It's born! It's a beautiful baby girl! Congratulations!"

"Thank you for your hard work!" Han thanked Cao repeatedly with a sigh of relief.

Clean up the filth for Su Tai.

Shen Yi snapped out of his daze and anxiously asked through the door, "Wife, wife! Are you alright?"

Seeing that Shen Yixian was concerned about the adults, Madam Han, who was inside the house, smiled slightly and replied on Su Tai's behalf, "Xiao Tai is fine, she's just a little exhausted. She'll be fine after a night's rest."

As she spoke, she carried out a basin of bloody water and stared into Shen Yi's eyes, asking, "Xiao Tai gave birth to a daughter, not a son."

Shen Yi quickly stated, "I love both my son and daughter, as long as the adults and children are safe and sound."

“Yes, yes! The most important thing for this first pregnancy is that everything goes smoothly; nothing else matters!” Xu Shi pulled Shen Zhuang over and said.

Han finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She thought Shen Yi would be disappointed by his situation, but she didn't expect him to be so open-minded. She really didn't make a mistake in choosing this son-in-law!

Inside the house, Cao had just washed and wrapped the baby. Hearing the conversation outside, she said to Su Tai with envy, "You are so lucky! This child is sure to be very fortunate too!"

"Thank you, Auntie." Su Tai smiled sweetly.

A moment later, Shen Yi came in. Su Tai saw him staring at the child's eyes without moving, looking like he wanted to touch her but didn't dare. She laughed and said, "Don't stay here like a fool. You can see your daughter anytime. Auntie worked hard tonight. Go to the storeroom and get her a set of cotton clothes and pants, and also give her a thank-you gift."

I just smelled the aroma of baked flatbread coming from the kitchen, so I packed some for the old lady to take back as wedding cakes.

"In that case, we can pack in more meat filling and brown sugar peanut filling," Shen Yi said seriously, getting up and walking out.

They quickly packed a large package and handed it to Cao, who was resting and drinking tea.

"What is this?" Cao was so surprised that she jumped up from her chair, staring at the package for a long time but still couldn't figure it out.

Shen Yi explained, "Inside here is a set of warm cotton-padded clothes, specially prepared for the old lady, as well as some thank-you money and guokui (a type of flatbread). Our family has a happy occasion today, and the old lady is happy to share in the joy."

"This is too much!" Cao was so frightened that she dared not accept it and repeatedly declined.

She delivered babies for the women in the village, and they would give her fifty or sixty coins for some, and twenty or thirty coins for others. They were all from the same village, so she didn't care. Either way, it was more than she was owed. In all her years of doing this job, this was the first time she had received so many thanks.

Seeing that she absolutely refused, Madam Xu quickly stuffed the package into her arms, saying, "Good sister, this is a thank-you gift specially given to you by A-Yi and his wife. They won't feel at ease if you don't accept it when they need your help in the future! If you think they gave too much, the young couple can come to you with any questions in the future, and you can give them a few pointers."

Having said all that, Cao knew it wouldn't be good to refuse any longer, so she could only nervously accept the gifts. She then went into the delivery room to examine Su Tai carefully, explaining many details before happily returning home.
