Quick Transmigration: Reversing the Life of a Cannon Fodder Female Supporting Character

Besides, in rural areas, a woman who has just given birth receives a constant supply of millet porridge, eggs, and brown sugar, which is considered a sign of a well-off family. No family would hoard so much meat just to prepare for childbirth. In all her years, this was the first time she had ever seen a family with so much meat.

The young couple were quite capable. Mo Yan had acquaintances everywhere, and even Yan Yan's classmates from school were very impressive. Some of them had families working in meat processing plants, so while there was plenty of good meat, they could still get their hands on a lot of big bones. During the few days she had brought her daughter here, she had big bone soup for every meal, and she would even put a big bone in when stewing cabbage.

At this time, even if you were in the city for postpartum confinement, you wouldn't eat very well. For example, the new mother in the next bed was shockingly thin, which made her belly look even bigger. She held a dry steamed bun in her left hand and a hot water bottle in her right, staring longingly at the Lian family's lunchbox.

Sitting by the bed was her mother-in-law, dressed very respectably. Seeing her daughter-in-law's behavior, she squeezed out a few words through gritted teeth: "What are you looking at? Are you starving? You're not presentable enough to be seen in public. You're staring at other people's lunchboxes. You have no manners."

The pregnant woman on the bed flinched and buried her head.

Her mother-in-law disapproved even more. This daughter-in-law was married by her son in the countryside. Her son couldn't bear the farm work in the countryside, so he married the team leader's niece and got an easier job. Last year, when the college entrance examination was reinstated, her son was drunk by his father-in-law's whole family before he could register, and he missed the registration deadline. At the beginning of this year, fearing that it would delay her son's future, she personally went to the countryside to bring her daughter-in-law and eldest granddaughter back, so that her son could have the opportunity to take the exam. At that time, her daughter-in-law was pregnant with her second child. Although she didn't like her daughter-in-law, she didn't mistreat her. She ate a lot at every meal, but she was shockingly thin, as if her family wasn't feeding her.

Aunt Lian was a chatterbox, and she struck up a conversation with the old woman in just a few words.

"Did the doctor say when I'll give birth?"

"Just these past few days, isn't this your niece?"

"My husband's niece's mother-in-law has passed away, and it's inconvenient for her family to come over. I was worried about her, so I came to take care of her during her postpartum period."

"Your aunt is quite nice. What does your niece eat? She's neither too fat nor too thin, just right. Unlike my niece, who eats three big steamed buns in one meal and is still incredibly thin."

Even Auntie Lian is willing to chat, but she knows her limits and doesn't comment on other people's affairs: "My niece just eats normally. She's in college, and she usually eats in the school cafeteria."

"Still a university student!"

"Ah, he's the most successful child in our family, so amazing." A subtle boast.

Even by evening, Lian Yanyan showed no signs of giving birth, only experiencing regular contractions. Mo Yan went back to cook dinner, and he took the opportunity to ask for leave from the factory.

"Second Aunt, I'll keep an eye on things tonight. You go back and rest," Mo Yan said while feeding his wife chicken soup.

"Dr. Hao said the baby will be born tonight or tomorrow, so let's just wait it out. I'm not going back." Aunt Lian lowered her voice and said, "The old lady in the next bed told me that babies have been lost in the hospital before. From birth to discharge, the baby can't be out of the adults' eyes. I'll take turns watching the baby with you."

"Alright, then thank you for your trouble, Auntie." Lian Yanyan readily agreed: "There's enough food. Go to the hospital cafeteria and buy some steamed buns. You and Auntie can eat at the hospital."

In the middle of the night, the woman in the next bed went into labor first. Her screams were shrill from the start, which frightened Lian Yan Yan so much that she started having frequent stomach cramps. Half an hour later, she was also taken to the delivery room.

At dawn, Lian Yanyan was wheeled out, and the nurse held the baby: "Boy, five pounds and six ounces."

Aunt Lian quickly took the child from him. Mo Yan glanced at him and then focused his attention on his wife. When he returned to the ward, the patient in the next bed had already come back.

"Young lady, your niece has also given birth?" the old woman greeted.

"Ah, she's finished giving birth, and yours is finished too." Aunt Lian glanced at the bed next door and met the eyes of the young woman. Startled by the sinister look, she instinctively moved to the other side of Lian Yanyan's bed.

The woman in the next bed asked in a hoarse voice, "It was a boy? It's a boy, right? I heard the nurse say that. She also said I had a girl, hahaha, a girl, I didn't want a girl."

Her mother-in-law hissed, "Shut up, don't embarrass yourself. What's wrong with girls? We love all our children, girls just the same."

Aunt Lian and Mo Yan exchanged a glance. During the two days that Lian Yan Yan was hospitalized, they never put the child down. The two adults took turns holding the child. Later, Lian Qing Qing also came to help look after the child.

On the third day after giving birth, Lian Yanyan was discharged from the hospital. Zhou Nan borrowed a car to pick up his sister-in-law and nephew from the hospital.

"Oh my, I'm also benefiting from my nephew's kindness by getting a ride in a car." Before getting into the car, Aunt Lian excitedly dusted off her clothes and wiped the dirt off the soles of her shoes.

"Auntie, it's nothing. This car is just a little smaller than a bus, so feel free to ride in it," Zhou Nan replied with a smile.

"How can they be the same? This is obviously much more comfortable." Aunt Lian held the child and carefully touched the interior of the car with her fingers.

The hospital wasn't far; the car arrived in less than ten minutes. Mo Yan wrapped Lian Yanyan up tightly and carried her into the house. Aunt Lian Er, carrying the child, led Lian Qingqing into the courtyard.

Lian Yanyan's postpartum confinement was very comfortable, except that the food was too bland.

Even the best dishes won't taste good if you don't add salt.

When she was halfway through her postpartum period, her third aunt gave birth to a chubby boy. With Lian's grandmother taking care of her, her second aunt focused on taking care of Lian Yanyan at the Mo family home, and they spent the New Year there.

Lian Yanyan asked Mo Yan to have someone make a new set of clothes for her second aunt and Lian Qingqing, brand new from the inside out, and even new shoes.

"Yanzi, what are you doing here? Your second aunt came to take care of you during your postpartum period, not for these things."

"Second Aunt, please take it. Even if you're not here to help me during my postpartum period, it's only right for an elder to make me a set of clothes while they're spending the New Year at home." Lian Yanyan returned the favor. This person was neither her biological mother nor her mother-in-law, yet she had come all this way to take care of her niece during her postpartum period; it was a gesture of kindness.

Mo Yan, holding her son, continued, "Second Aunt, these were all made to your and Little Sister's measurements. It would be a waste if you didn't accept them. Besides, they are a token of our appreciation. We would feel terrible if you didn't accept them."

Lian Yanyan hardly held the baby during her postpartum confinement. Before she gave birth, she explained to everyone that back pain after childbirth was due to the fatigue from holding the baby during confinement, and headaches were due to not sleeping well while taking care of the baby. Mo Yan already doted on his wife, so he naturally did whatever she said. Worried that she would get tired, he even helped her by supporting her while she breastfed. When Mo Yan went to work, his second aunt and Lian Qingqing took turns comforting her, so the new mother didn't get tired at all.
