Rebirth 78: Hunting for Treasure in the Mountains, Spoiling My Wife and Daughter to the Heavens

Liu Dazhuang kept this matter on his mind.

So when he heard that Lu Weiguo's sister-in-law had given birth...

He almost carried the old ox across.

The oxcart hasn't been used by anyone since the Lunar New Year.

Every day, the cleanest hay is replaced on top, and the car is kept odor-free.

"Sister-in-law Huifang, you can stay home and help take care of my child, so you don't need to come with me."

Li Huifang followed Liu Dazhuang over, carrying a kettle and other supplies for women giving birth.

The whole family was very concerned about the affairs of the Lu family.

"Okay, I understand, Weiguo. Don't worry, I won't go back for the next few days. I'll stay with the child."

Not far away, Zhao Yangyang also rushed over after hearing the news.

The same applies to Lu Weiguo.

She was carrying a bag of washed and dried cotton cloth, all of which she had made diapers for her child by hand.

After throwing the urine ring onto the oxcart, Zhao Yangyang volunteered, "Weiguo, I won't go with you. I'll stay with Sister Huifang and help look after the children."

"Don't worry, Auntie, we'll take care of things at home."

Upon hearing this, Lu's mother was overjoyed.

From the day of the Lunar New Year onwards, she treated Shu Ruizhi as her own daughter.

She didn't want to miss such a big opportunity.

"Alright, then I'll trouble you. Your Uncle Lu is at home looking after the house. If you don't mind, could you please cook a meal for the kids? Your Uncle Lu has never cooked in his entire life."

I'm afraid my kids won't like the food I make.

The family was in a panic until Lu Baojia saw Shu Ruizhi being carried out of the room.

Li Xiulian had already laid two layers of cotton quilts on the oxcart.

He was also holding a layer of cloth that he intended to cover her with.

Upon seeing this, Lu's mother quickly went back into the house and took out a cotton hat that she had prepared beforehand.

This hat was made from a dog skin hat, with a layer of fabric wrapped around it.

They only had their mouths and noses left to breathe, so they wouldn't be blown by the wind when riding the oxcart back and forth.

Seeing how well the whole family had prepared.

Shu Ruizhi felt a rare sense of peace.

This was a treatment she had never received from her own family. Unexpectedly, after she lost her own home, she truly experienced it in her husband's family.

Of course, she also knew that part of it came from her brother-in-law, whom she had once looked down upon.

"Weiguo, Xiulian, I'm in trouble."

"Sister-in-law, what are you saying? We're all family. I'll go with you to take care of you, so don't worry." After saying that, Li Xiulian got into the oxcart.

He sat down next to Shu Ruizhi and helped tidy up the bedding.

The oxcart was not moving very fast.

But it is very stable.

Liu Dazhuang also learned all the skills of catching a carriage from Uncle Niu.

If the road conditions are good, his big, rough hands will stick directly into the old ox's skin.

The startled old ox thrashed about on all fours faster than a horse.

The weather in March is gradually warming up. The sun feels warm on your skin, and the north wind seems to pity this poor mother.

The wind rustled through the pine needles, but no breeze touched the people.

"Xiulian, I'm a little scared. Could you... could you hold my hand?"

Wearing a specially made dog-skin hat, Shu Ruizhi was blind and kept trying to grab things with her hands.

"Sister-in-law, my hand is right here, don't be afraid. Look at me, I've already had two kids, and my second one was born in the hospital and everything was fine."

But you really have to hold it in now, okay? This stuff is like taking a dump; you stick your butt out and push, and it'll come out.

Shu Ruizhi's younger brother also went through the same thing once.

But the two times gave people completely different feelings.

Shu Ruizhi hummed in agreement, and her body gradually stopped trembling.

Lu Weiguo followed behind on his bicycle.

He still felt uneasy, and his feelings of guilt and affection for Li Xiulian deepened.

When his second child was born, he had no money and couldn't even afford to go to the hospital.

That's how she suffered at home for two days.

When Lu's mother found out about this, she tried to send money to her daughter-in-law at the hospital, but it was too late.

The main entrance of the county hospital is located right next to the road.

When the oxcart arrived, it was stopped by the captain of the guards.

He was about to reprimand them for not allowing the oxcart to stop there.

I was intimidated by the sheer size of this large family.

Lu Weiguo, Liu Dazhuang, and Lu Baojia were three strong and powerful men.

Li Xiulian, Lu's mother, and the soon-to-give-up Shu Ruizhi—the three women possessed an astonishing aura.

The delivery room door closed.

Everyone sat on the bench by the door, finally able to breathe a sigh of relief.

Lu Baojia squatted anxiously at the door, stamping his feet and pacing back and forth, unable to stop.

In the end, it was Lu Weiguo who helped with the hospitalization procedures.

Fortunately, it was him who went.

With hospital wards in short supply, he immediately called Zhao Kaishan.

They managed to squeeze a single room out of everyone else's rooms.

That's why some relationships are best preserved; they can be truly useful in crucial moments.

Of course, this is not intended to allow people to enjoy such privileges.

It means that while others enjoy privileges, you can receive fair treatment.

The delivery room was eerily quiet.

When Lu Weiguo returned, Li Xiulian had already tidied up the ward.

However, none of the family members wanted to go back to rest.

They were all standing guard at the door; the feeling of wanting to help but being powerless was just too painful.

"Xiulian, how is it? I just got the call and came right over. Has she given birth yet?"

I need to bring my child over in the next few days.

Lu Weiguo called Wu Guizhi from the hospital.

The phone call was a relay.

The elderly couple's haste was evident even in the unbuttoned buttons.

"Mom and Dad, you're here. My sister-in-law hasn't given birth yet; she's been inside for over an hour."

Wu Guifen nodded upon hearing this. "It's alright. Why do I see your sister-in-law being more nervous during childbirth than you are? Is this her first child?"

First-time mothers are usually more delicate and take longer to give birth. When I gave birth to you, it was like I just bent over and it came out.

Wu Guifen stepped forward and sat down next to her mother-in-law.

When Lu Weiguo returned, he pulled Lu Baojia and Li Guangrong to the external staircase to smoke.

"Wow wow wow~"

Not long after.

A strong, clear baby's voice came from inside the delivery room.

Lu Weiguo, with his sharp ears, had just reminded his elder brother.

As if sensing his thoughts, Lu Baojia threw his cigarette butt directly on the ground.

Without saying a word, he ran towards the delivery room.

Lu's mother clenched her fists, and tears streamed down her face.

This feels no different from my own daughter giving birth.

The others wore smiles.

"Kid! That voice definitely belongs to kid!!"

"Hmm, full of energy, you can tell he's from the Lu family!"

However, before Wu Guifen could finish speaking, another cry came from the delivery room.

Everyone was stunned when they heard the voice.

Could this be...?

"Could it be a twin pregnancy?! No wonder Ruizhi's belly is so big. Oh my god, my Ruizhi can still work while pregnant, she's so strong~~~"
