The Daily Life of a Down-on-Hard-Life Medicine Girl Supporting Her Family

Chapter 378

At the Zhao residence, Zhao Minghua was also praying: "Gods and Bodhisattvas, please bless Nuannuan with a safe delivery!"
Honestly, he didn't want Chunnuan to have any more children, but she got pregnant again, and Zhao Minghua hated himself for it.

What's even more unexpected is that Chunnuan is pregnant with twins, and there are signs of labor starting today.

Zhong Xiuxiu and Lei Ying both arrived, and Zhao Minghua also invited a midwife.

Hearing the groans coming from inside, he broke out in a cold sweat, his heart pounding with panic, and he paced back and forth outside.

"Third brother, stop spinning right now, you're making me dizzy."

Zhou originally planned to return to Changzhou with her husband, but changed her plans after hearing that Chunnuan was pregnant.

With such a big event as the arrival of a new baby, how could she, as the mother-in-law, not be there?

Knowing that spring had arrived, they rushed over immediately.

Knowing that Chunnuan was pregnant with twins, she was also very anxious.

"Have you sent someone to the Xiao family to tell your mother-in-law?"

"Sent someone."

Such a big matter naturally needs to be informed of the wife's family.

Just then, the gatekeeper arrived; it was someone from the Xiao family.

Unexpectedly, it was the Xu family who arrived.

"Aunt, you're so kind."

Why didn't my mother-in-law come?
Zhao Minghua was puzzled.

"The old lady of the Xu family is seriously ill, and your father-in-law, mother-in-law, and Chun Ning and her husband have all gone to the Xu family." Madam Xu said, "The Xu family originally hoped to ask Nuan Nuan to treat the old lady, but your mother-in-law refused, saying that Nuan Nuan is pregnant with twins and is about to give birth, and the journey is long, so she was afraid that she would give birth on the way. Fortunately, she didn't go, and sure enough, she really did give birth on the way."

"Yes, Nuannuan has started labor, and there's nothing I can do to help..."

Seeing Xu arrive, Zhou felt a little more at ease: "This brat keeps hanging around in front of me, I'm really worried."

"Don't panic. Nuannuan is a doctor herself, and her prized disciple is delivering the baby. Everything will go smoothly and safely."

Inside the room, Chunnuan groaned, biting her handkerchief.

Perhaps Zhao Minghua is right, one child is enough!

This unexpected pregnancy, especially with twins, must have been incredibly painful.

Almost every woman is like this: when giving birth, she is in excruciating pain and then thinks she will never have another child.

As the children grew up day by day, and saw how well-behaved and sensible they were, the pain of childbirth was forgotten. When she became pregnant again, she was still full of joy and eagerly awaited the birth of her child.

"Sir, the cervix is ​​dilated to seven-tenths."

"Sir, please relax. The baby is in the correct position, and since you are a multiparous woman, delivery will be quick."

"Sir, are you hungry? Would you like to eat something first?"

Unlike other mothers who give birth, Zhong Xiuxiu and Lei Ying were more concerned about their husbands' lives.

"Okay, bring me some ginseng soup."

During a lull in the pain, Chunnuan immediately drank a bowl of ginseng soup and ate two eggs.

Watching her eat heartily, Zhong Xiuxiu and Lei Ying exchanged a glance: the gentleman's spirit is truly commendable.

Don't call her wolfing down her food; she's quite impressive. She knows she's going to have to exert a lot of effort and needs plenty of energy. She's not being coy at all; she's eating quickly because she needs to be full to have the strength.

They had delivered many ladies and young women, all of whom were afraid of pain and extremely delicate. When the pain came, they would cry and scream, and if asked to eat anything, they would say they were in pain and refused.

No matter how much you cry out in pain, you can't avoid the pain.

It would be better to do what the gentleman did, simply stuffing a handkerchief into his mouth and groaning incessantly, covered in sweat but without uttering a sound.

Therefore, delivering the baby was actually stress-free for her husband. She knew exactly when to conserve her energy and when to push.

About half an hour later, Chunnuan took the handkerchief out of her mouth. "Can you help me check if I'm about to give birth?"

"Sir, we can see the child's head! Sir, push!"

"it is good."

Xiao Chunnuan took a deep breath, grabbed the edge of the bed with both hands, and pulled hard.

"Hey hey..."

The baby's clear cry rang out.

"Congratulations, sir, it's a young man."

Zhong Xiuxiu hugged the baby, cut the umbilical cord, and happily announced the good news.

"There's one more," Chunnuan said, enduring the pain. "I hope it's a girl this time."

She already has two sons, so she wants a daughter. She'll never have another child after this one; she'll even prepare her own infertility-inducing medicine!

The pain of childbirth is truly indescribable.

"Sir, I see the child's head, sir, push harder."

This time, Chunnuan used almost all her strength. When she heard the baby crying, she didn't even have the strength to ask if it was a boy or a girl. Her whole body went limp.

"Congratulations, sir, it's a daughter! You have a perfect family with both a son and a daughter."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work. I'm going to take a nap now."

After saying that, Chun Nuan tilted her head and fell into a deep sleep.

“Sir is too tired.” Lei Ying took his pulse. “Everything else is fine.”

"Okay, let's hurry up and pack. Oh, and we also need to go and share the good news."

As a result, the midwife ran out first.

"Congratulations, Madam! Congratulations, Lady! You've given birth to twins, a boy and a girl!"

"How is my wife?" Zhao Minghua was about to go in to see Chunnuan.

"My lord, you must not! It is a filthy place inside; it is not safe to go in."

"What filthy place? My wife risked her life to give birth to my child. How could I despise it as filthy? That's utter nonsense."

Zhao Minghua pulled her aside and went straight inside.

"Warm..."

“Sir, the master is fine, just too tired. Let her sleep for a while.” Zhong Xiuxiu quickly said, “We haven’t finished tidying up yet. Please go out and rest first. It’s really inconvenient for you to be here.”

"She's just asleep?"

Zhao Minghua stepped forward and lovingly touched Chunnuan's forehead: "Nuannuan, you've suffered. We won't have any more children. The three of them are enough."

Chunnuan, fast asleep, seemed to hear Zhao Minghua speaking, but she was too tired to open her eyes and didn't bother to respond.

Anyway, the baby in her belly has already been born, and with Zhong Xiuxiu and Lei Ying helping to clean up, she feels quite at ease. Now, all she wants to do is sleep.

Zhao Minghua was relieved after confirming that Chunnuan was just asleep, and then walked out of the inner room.

"Congratulations, Your Excellency," the midwife reminded him again, "shouldn't you be sending out celebratory drinks?"

"Thank you for your trouble. This is a birthday gift for this auntie."

"Yes, sir." Qingsheng stepped forward and asked the midwife to leave, giving her ten taels of silver at the same time.

The midwife took ten taels of silver, smiled and said a lot of nice things, and then left happily.

This delivery was the easiest for her; she earned ten taels of silver without exerting any effort. She could easily earn more from families like this, as it was far better than delivering babies for ordinary families.
