1970s: A hot-tempered wife who accompanied a soldier to the military compound and made a fortune.

Chapter 968 She's in so much pain, how can she walk?
Qiu Shaocheng carried his wife to the car and then looked at Aunt Qi, who was on good terms with his family next door: "Auntie, I still have chicken soup simmering on the stove. Could you please keep an eye on the fire for me? My family will come back to pick it up later."

Aunt Qi, considering his family's current situation, readily agreed: "Don't worry, I'll go and keep an eye on things for you right away."

After Qiu Shaohu saw that everyone was seated, he pulled the cart and headed towards the health center.

There was no other way. If anything happened to the child in An Xiaojing's belly, not only would the second wife's family not let him off the hook, but the An family would probably come knocking on his door as well. So he was running around like crazy, afraid that if he was a step too late, he wouldn't be able to handle the situation.

Inside the house, Old Man Qiu kept comforting Grandma Qiu: "Mother, let Lai Feng and Lai Chang handle the family matters. You should take good care of yourself and try to stay with your son for a few more years."

Grandma Qiu knew exactly what her son was thinking, but she also knew that her body probably wouldn't last much longer.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. His grandson is a grandfather now, so he really should take a break. He nodded and said, "I don't care anymore, I can't control it anyway."

After saying that, he coughed again.

Old Qiu was so frightened that he tried to soothe his mother by patting her back and calming her down, hoping to make her suffer less.

Aunt Qiu watched the cart drive away and looked at her husband: "What are we going to do about this?"

Uncle Qiu was also furious. He glared at his second daughter-in-law and son and said, "Tell Grandma and Dad that we'll go and see what's going on. Otherwise, my second brother and his wife will definitely be angry."

Although Aunt Qiu didn't want to go, she knew it was no small matter: "Alright then."

Old Qiu explained the situation to them as they came in: "Alright, I'll take care of things here, you all go and handle things properly. You're all such a worry, don't bother your great-grandmother with family matters in the future."

For the sake of their grandson's reputation, the two went back into the house, packed some money and tickets, and hurriedly headed to the health center.

On the other side, when Xia Qiu arrived at the hospital, her cervix was not fully dilated. After the doctor examined her, he said, "Help her walk around for a bit to make it easier for her to give birth later."

Seeing his wife in so much pain, Qiu Shaofeng said, "Doctor, she's in so much pain, how can she walk?" The doctor, probably used to this kind of situation, replied, "It's for her own good that you're helping her walk around. You're a grown man, don't dawdle."

Qiu's mother quickly stepped forward: "The doctor is right. Just listen to him. More exercise will make childbirth in summer and autumn faster and smoother."

When Qiu Shaofeng saw that his mother also said the same thing, he said, "Wife, bear with it. I'll support you, and we'll take it slowly."

And so, Qiu's mother and Qiu Shaofeng supported Xia Qiu on either side as she walked and rested for a while. After the doctor examined her again, he said, "Alright, she can be taken to the delivery room now."

Chu Xue rushed back when Xia Qiu was in the delivery room, holding an enamel mug in her hand: "Sister, I found a place to make you some egg and brown sugar water. Drink it before you go in."

The Qiu family never expected that Chu Xue, who had disappeared after the doctor told Xia Qiu to go for a walk, had actually gone to prepare food for them.

After all that fuss, Xia Qiu was actually quite hungry. Looking at the thick brown sugar and egg soup, she said, "Chu Xue, thank you, sister."

This is made with water from the spatial pool, so the taste is naturally superb.

After drinking a bowl of egg and sugar water from an enamel mug, Xia Qiu felt warm all over and regained her strength. Just as she was about to say something, another contraction struck: "Ouch."

She exclaimed "Oh dear!" and everyone tensed up.

The doctor quickly said, "Quickly, quickly, into the delivery room."

Xia Qiu had just entered the delivery room when Qiu Shaocheng carried An Xiaojing in, crying, "Doctor, doctor, please save her!"
