If you don't consummate the marriage for three years and then marry a successful educated youth

Wen Yao was taking a slow stroll in the courtyard, while Mu Sheng chattered beside her, "Auntie, the stories you tell are so interesting! I love listening to them."

"Haha, I'm glad you like it. You're very smart and know a lot of words. You'll definitely be amazing in the future!"

Mu Sheng blushed at the praise and said somewhat shyly, "Auntie, you are so kind. They all think I'm unlucky and won't let me in the door, but you are the only one who is willing to let me into the yard and talk to me."

"Am I... talking too much? If I'm bothering you, you can just tell me directly. Sometimes I can't stop talking, which isn't good."

Wen Yao patted his head and said softly, "I don't find it annoying. I like lively and sensible children. You are so sensible, your mother is very lucky. The good times are yet to come."

Mu Sheng nodded repeatedly: "Yes, I will try my best."

Her stomach tightened in waves, and Wen Yao slowly slowed her breathing. When the waves subsided, her body suddenly stiffened: "Mu, Mu Sheng, I think I'm going into labor."

"Could you do me a favor? Go to the market, find your Uncle Jiang, and call him back. Tell him I'm about to give birth and need to go to the hospital."

Mu Sheng's mind went blank for a moment, but when he came to his senses, he nodded hurriedly, turned around and ran, but soon stopped and came over to help her: "Auntie, lie down and don't move. I'll go find Uncle right away."

Wen Yao lay on the recliner, adjusting her breathing, and gently patted her belly: "Little rascal, don't rush out. Your father isn't back yet. If you kick too hard, your mother will get angry."

"Hoo hoo~~"

Cold sweat slowly beaded on her forehead, and the commotion in her stomach intensified. She gripped the handrails tightly and said, "Don't rush, don't rush, take it slow, don't be afraid."

Mu Sheng ran out of the yard and headed towards the vegetable market, looking anxious and panting heavily. After looking around the market, he ran towards that familiar figure.

Shouting at the top of his lungs, "Uncle Jiang, Aunt Jiang is about to give birth! You'd better hurry back!"

Jiang Lie turned around when he heard the voice, but didn't hear clearly, so he strode over: "Mu Sheng, are you here to see me?"

"Yes, I'm looking for you. Hurry back, my aunt is about to give birth. I came to call you back to take her to the hospital."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Lie's pupils contracted, and he subconsciously stuffed the basket into his arms: "Musheng, please take my things back for me. Here's a few dollars for your spending money. I'll go back and take your aunt to the hospital first."

"Don't run anymore. If you're tired, take a rest and walk back slowly. I'm leaving now."

Without waiting for anything else, he ran out.

Mu Sheng adjusted his breathing, and only when he felt a little better did he realize how sore his legs were. He slowly walked home with the basket, but seeing that his aunt's door was already locked, he had no choice but to take the basket back to his own house.

When Widow Yang saw her son return, she said softly, "Son, you're back. Are you hungry? I'll go cook something right away."

"Mom, I'm not hungry. Auntie is about to give birth, so they went to the hospital."

"Oh, she's going into labor so soon? Wasn't it supposed to be another two weeks? Could it be early? Did your Uncle Jiang take her to the hospital? Is she alright?"

Mu Sheng shook his head: "They probably took him to the hospital. He should be fine. We should go check on him."

Widow Yang hesitated for a moment: "It might not be a good time for us to go see her. You know Mother has a lot of bad luck, so it's not appropriate to go at this time. Let's wait until she gives birth before we go see her."

"Okay, Uncle Jiang gave me this basket and asked me to help him bring it back. I'll return it to him when he gets back."

"Okay, then you can put it away."

On the other side, Jiang Lie carried her to the hospital. After paying the fees, he stood in the corridor, holding her hand with a worried expression: "Wife, you'll be alright, right? Does it hurt?"

Wen Yao shook her head: "I can still bear it. Go call your parents and ask them to come over when they have time. Then go home and get your things for the delivery."

"After the baby is born, we'll need clothes and diapers, and we'll also bring the formula that my older brothers sent, just in case we need them."

While she's still in pain and her mind isn't blank, we need to get things arranged quickly, otherwise she won't remember what she was supposed to do when the pain becomes unbearable.

Jiang Lie nodded hurriedly: "Okay, I'll take care of it right away. I'll wait for you to go in before I go."

"Um."

The doctor wheeled the woman into the delivery room. Jiang Lie went to the nurses' station and made a phone call, briefly explaining the situation: "Mom and Dad, I'm overwhelmed here by myself."

[Could you come over if you have time? Once I've learned how to do it, I'll take care of them, mother and daughter.]

Zhang Shuhua called out to the courtyard, "Baozhu, go pack your things, your sister-in-law is about to give birth, we're going to town soon, hurry up."

"Hey, hey, I'm here, I'm here."

"Don't worry, honey. Your wife's baby is in the right position, so everything will be fine. First pregnancies are usually slow like this. We'll go to the hospital to take care of her now, so don't worry."

Jiang Lie hummed in agreement: "Mom, thank you for your hard work. I'll wait for you at the hospital; we're on the third floor, XXX."

Okay, I've got it. I'll pack my things and head over.

Remember to bring some ginseng slices. In case your wife is too exhausted from childbirth, these ginseng slices could save her life.

Hearing his mother's words, Jiang Lie's eyelids twitched: "Mom, I understand. I'll go back and get the things right away. Be careful on your way here, don't panic."

He kept telling himself he wasn't panicking, but his hands were trembling.

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Shuhua hurried back to her room to tidy up, her face beaming with joy: "Baozhu, are you ready? I wonder if your sister-in-law will be able to give birth today. It was so difficult for me when I gave birth to your older brother."

"It took her three days to come out, it really wore me out. Your sister-in-law is petite and has a small frame, so I'm afraid she won't be able to give birth so quickly."

Jiang Baozhu hummed in agreement and comforted her, "Mother, don't worry. My sister-in-law will definitely give birth safely. We just need to take good care of them and let her rest and recuperate."

"Okay, Mother understands."

The mother and daughter packed up and rode their bikes to town.

Rushing to the hospital, Jiang Baozhu saw the people pacing around and called out, "Big brother, we're here! How is your wife inside?"

Jiang Lie let out a breath, his face full of worry: "The doctor said it's alright, but listen to those screams, they're making my heart ache. It's terrifying."

"No more babies. I won't let your sister-in-law have any more. It's too much of a suffering for her."

Zhang Shuhua smiled helplessly: "Silly son, this is how it is with the first birth. Subsequent births will be much faster and less painful. Besides, your wife loves children so much."

"Whether she has children or not is her decision. If she doesn't want to, she doesn't have to. If she does want to, don't stop her. Just take good care of her."

Jiang Lie hummed in agreement: "Mom, I feel uneasy and dizzy just listening to this sound. How long will it take before we get out? My wife hasn't even had lunch yet."

Jiang Baozhu walked over and patted his arm: "Brother, don't worry, the doctor said it's nothing serious, it'll definitely be fine. We'll ask your wife if she can eat something later."

"If you don't eat, how will you have the strength to give birth?"

"Okay, I'll ask about it later. The ginseng slices have been sent in too. I hope your sister-in-law comes out soon."
