Pei Shizhou and Xia Yichu were talking about this before going to bed, and Xia Yichu listened to it out of boredom as gossip.

"What do you think Pei Zongna will do next? Does she really want them to continue living in the house like this?"

"I don't know, but there's bound to be some trouble. Xiao Chu, don't get involved in their business. It's getting late, let's go to sleep."

Pei Shizhou didn't want to get involved in the Pei family's affairs. If Xia Yichu hadn't wanted to know, he wouldn't have bothered to inquire.

"it is good"

Pei Shizhou is going to take Xia Yichu to the hospital for a check-up tomorrow, and he wants Xia Yichu to go to sleep early.

The next morning, after the two had finished breakfast and were getting ready to leave, the phone rang suddenly.

Pei Shizhou took Xia Yichu's hand and walked back, letting her sit on the sofa.

"Xiao Chu, have a seat, I'll go answer the phone."

Xia Yichu nodded and told him to hurry up, as the phone had been ringing for a long time.

"Okay, okay, Xiao Chu and I will be right there, alright."

Pei Shizhou hung up the phone and walked to Xia Yichu's side, his expression unchanged. Xia Yichu asked curiously, "Who was that? Where are we going?"

"My sister-in-law gave birth to a son around 3 a.m. last night. Both mother and child are safe and sound, and they are still in the hospital. We were just about to go to the hospital for a check-up, so we thought we'd go see my sister-in-law and the baby."

Pei Shizhou felt a pang of envy for Lin Xingyuan, whose baby had finally been born to Yu Mengxi. Xiao Chu was only two months along; he still had a long way to go.

"Really, that's great, Shi Zhou, let's go quickly."

Xia Yichu was extremely excited, happy for her uncle and aunt.

"Take it easy, don't rush. My aunt said they won't be discharged until tomorrow."

The atmosphere in Yu Mengxi's hospital room was not good; Yu's mother started picking fights as soon as she arrived at the hospital.

"Mother-in-law, have you given my Xiaoxi any food? She's worked hard all night, she must be very hungry now."

Although Yu Mengxi lay pale on the ground, she looked at her son beside her with happiness. The child was sleeping soundly, awakened by his mother's voice. However, he was very well-behaved and didn't cry.

"I called home early this morning to ask the nanny to cook some porridge for Mengxi. Her grandfather just went home to get it, and it should arrive soon."

Lin's mother was afraid of disturbing her grandson, so she spoke much softer. Yu Mengxi had just come out of the delivery room half an hour ago. She wasn't very hungry now; she was sleepy and wanted to go to bed.

If her mother and sister-in-law hadn't come over, she would probably be asleep with her child right now.

"What? You mean my Xiaoxi gave birth all night and didn't even get a hot meal after leaving the delivery room?"

Since being angered by Xia Yichu and returning home last time, Yu's mother hadn't visited Lin Xingyuan's house. Last night, when Yu Mengxi's stomach started to hurt, Lin's mother told Lin Xingyuan to quickly call the Yu family and inform them.

Lin Xingyuan said that it was her sister-in-law who answered the phone. She only said "I understand" and then there was no further communication.

Just now, Yu's mother and she came to the hospital empty-handed. As soon as they entered the ward, they started complaining about this and that.

"Mom, keep your voice down, you've woken the baby. I don't want to..."

Yu Mengxi wanted to say that she wasn't hungry. Last night when her stomach hurt, her mother-in-law checked her cervix and said it was only dilated to two centimeters.

We cooked a big meal for her at home before bringing her to the hospital. So she wasn't hungry at all; she was really tired and wanted to rest and sleep.

"Xiaoxi, Mom is doing this for your own good. If you're upset, just tell me. Mom and I are here! We can stand up for you."

"Yes, your sister-in-law is right, my poor daughter. She gave birth to a grandson for the Lin family, and they treat her like this."

Yu's mother said with her head held high that her daughter had given birth to a grandson for the Lin family, and she felt that she could control the Lin family.

"That's not how it is, I..."

Yu Mengxi was anxious to sit up and explain, but she had just given birth and any movement below caused her pain.

"Mengxi, lie down and don't get up."

Lin's mother hurriedly went over to help her lie down, while Lin Xingyuan went to complete the hospital admission procedures for Yu Mengxi. He wanted to get a single room for Yu Mengxi, and was going to pay the bill now, as there were only the four of them and one child here.

"Mother-in-law, Mengxi and the child need to rest. Let's talk outside."

If today weren't Yu Mengxi's first day of childbirth, Lin's mother would have loved to slap Yu's mother twice. She might as well not have come to the hospital at all; not only did she not help, she also caused trouble.

"What do you mean? Are you trying to say that I don't care about my daughter and that you want to drive a wedge between us?"

Lin's mother's face was ashen. She didn't dare tell Yu Mengxi that she had called her family the night before. She was worried that Yu Mengxi would be upset, so she kept it a secret for her mother.

"Mom, can you please stop being unreasonable?"

Yu Mengxi was exhausted. Why did her mother have to come and cause trouble today? She didn't care about herself at all.

"Get out of here!"

Unable to bear it any longer, Lin's mother directly pulled Yu's mother and the other woman away. Letting them stay any longer would upset Yu Mengxi; she had just given birth and needed to rest.

Just as Lin's mother was about to pull them to the door, Yu Mengxi's sister-in-law broke free, and Yu's mother also broke free, pushing Lin's mother again. Caught off guard, Lin's mother fell heavily to the ground, seemingly straining her back.

"Mom, are you alright?"

"Ouch, my back. Mengxi, don't get down."

Lin's mother cried out in pain and lay on the ground, unable to get up. Just as everyone was dumbfounded, Xia Yichu, Pei Shizhou, and Lin Xingyuan arrived.

"Auntie"

Xia Yichu stared in shock at the scene in the ward. Her aunt was lying on the floor in pain, while Yu Mengxi struggled to get up.

"mom"

Lin Xingyuan and Pei Shizhou quickly went forward to help Lin's mother up. Xia Yichu saw that Yu's mother looked guilty. Knowing that her aunt's fall was definitely related to her, she didn't care about anything else.

He grabbed Yu's mother and, before anyone could react, slapped her several times.

Xia Yichu knew that if she didn't fight now, she might not have another chance. Seeing this, Yu Mengxi's sister-in-law was so frightened that she quickly slipped away.

"Mom, Xiao Chu is pregnant, we can't push her."

Yu Mengxi was the first to react. When she saw her mother trying to push Xia Yichu, she immediately warned her and, disregarding her own health, rushed down to stop her mother.

She knew that if Xiao Chu's child was lost because of her mother, even if she and Lin Xingyuan didn't divorce, there would definitely be a rift between them.

Lin Xingyuan and Pei Shizhou were carrying Lin's mother and couldn't free their hands to stop Yu's mother. Just as Yu's mother's hand was about to touch Xia Yichu, and Xia Yichu dodged away, Yu Mengxi also stood in front of her.

She was shoved hard by Yu's mother and fell to the ground. Her pants were instantly stained red with blood, and she fainted.

"Mengxi"

Lin Xingyuan shouted in a panic, and at that moment, Yu's mother also took advantage of the chaos to run away.

"sister in law"

Xia Yichu, worried, went over to help Yu Mengxi, who felt she could protect herself, which was why she hit Yu's mother. Xia Yichu never expected Yu Mengxi to disregard her own health and get off the bed to stand in front of her.

"Quickly, get her to the doctor."

Lin's mother said anxiously. She had been carried to bed by Pei Shizhou and Lin Xingyuan and was now too preoccupied to care about her back.
