Yang Huazhou went into the mountains with his two nephews as soon as it was light to chop wood.

Right now, only Jin was in the kitchen.

Jin was both deaf and mute, she could sit by the hearth all day with a burning stick.

Liu called out hoarsely outside the kitchen, but Jin didn't move a muscle.

>

Lao Yangtou was walking over from the third house with his hands behind his back, humming a little tune.

As soon as I turned the corner of the kitchen wall, I heard Liu screaming like a banshee.

Old Yang's brow furrowed, and he was about to speak out in reprimand.

Let me know if you have other text you'd like translated!

Looking up, she saw that the fourth daughter-in-law was sitting under the old locust tree.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Holding her belly with both hands, beneath her, yellow and red, flowing all over the floor...

Old Yang's face turned white with fright, and he rushed to Liu Shi's side.

I want to reach out and help, but I don't know where to start.

"Fourth daughter-in-law, what's wrong with you?" Old Yang anxiously asked.

"Father, my older brother pushed me, and I've moved the baby. It's going to be born..."

"Ah?"

Old Yang didn't have the heart to pay attention to what was said earlier, his mind was full of his grandson being born!

>

"My dear girl, don't be afraid! Your father will go call your mother!"

Old Yang's head turned and he ran toward the east room...

Liu raised her hand, wanting to remind him that Tan wasn't in that room.

At this time, a dull pain struck his stomach.

Liu was in so much pain that she broke out in a cold sweat and couldn't catch her breath.

"Where did this old hag run off to?"

Old Yang was furious and stomped back, glaring at Liu who was writhing on the ground in pain, his teeth gritted. "I'll go call your third sister-in-law over!"

Sun just helped Yang Huazhong lie down, and she sat beside him herself.

The woman lifted a dustpan, just about to teach her daughter Yang Ruoheng beside her how to sew.

Old Yang rushed into the room.

"Third sister-in-law, hurry up, the fourth sister-in-law is about to give birth!"

Sun shi was astonished: "Wasn't it said that the due date is at the end of the month? Why is it so much earlier?!"

Lao Yang waved his hand: "Let's not talk about this for now. Your mother isn't in the house, so you should go over and help out! I'll call them back!"

>

"Hey, I'm going now!"

Mrs. Sun hurriedly put down the winnowing basket in her hand and followed Old Yang out. Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

After that, Yang Ruohua's eyes also lit up, seeming eager to go and have a look.

Sun Shi walked to the doorway and suddenly stopped. She turned back to Yang Ruqing and said, "Ruqing, you look after the two younger brothers, no one is allowed to come to the front yard!"

My mother found out about my thoughts!

>

Yang Ruqing giggled. "Well, we'll be obedient and not go!"

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate! ?

People in the countryside are superstitious, childbirth is a place of great misfortune and bloodshed.

Minors and men are not allowed too close to the delivery room.

Yang Ruqing watched the Sun family leave, standing at the door listening intently with her ear pressed against it.

Soon, the sound of chaos came from the front yard.

There are some from the Tan family, some from the Sun family, and also that woman next door, Old Wang's wife.

Among them, the loudest and most piercing voice that drowned out all others was Liu's wailing.

Disorderly footsteps are coming this way.

Yang Ruqing looked up and saw Lao Yang driving Yang Huamei and Liu's two daughters towards them.

Yang Huamei still held Wangcai in her arms as she walked, glancing back occasionally. The eldest son reluctantly followed her to the backyard.

Old Yang shouted at Yang Huamei, "You're not allowed to go over there right now. Be careful, if you go, he might get angry and attack you all. Just stay in the backyard for now, and wait until the baby is born before going back inside."

Yang Huamei pouted and said, “I heard my mother and Wang’s wife say that it takes a woman three days and three nights to give birth.”

“If my sister-in-law also gives birth for three days and three nights, we’ll all have to stand here that long? We’d be exhausted!”

"Don't be ridiculous, your sister-in-law isn't a first-time mother, it won't take that long!" Old Yang said.

“Dad, since you’ve never had a child, your words don’t count!” Yang Huamei said.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated! ?

Old Yang ignored her jostling and kept his hands behind his back.

The old man listened intently to the sounds coming from the front yard, his facial muscles twitching erratically.

Here, Yang Ruoqing carried out a stool.

"Grandpa, standing is tiring, why don't you sit down and wait?"

"Oh, okay, okay!"

>

Old Yang sat down, but he still leaned forward, his ears pricked up, catching every sound from the front yard.

“The fortune teller said your fourth aunt’s baby is definitely going to be a son!”

Old Yang addressed Yang Ruqing, "I hope the heavens bless her with a healthy baby boy. Then your fourth uncle will have an heir, and our Yang family will be even more prosperous!"

Yang Ruqing secretly curled her lips.

Nowadays, family planning is not being implemented.

As long as Fourth Uncle's ability is there, even with all his effort, he can always give birth to a son.

Besides, what's the use of talking to a modern person about something like "ending the incense lineage"?

She still felt a little resistant.

Aren't female friends descendants?

She was too lazy to argue with Old Yang about this, so she just laughed and turned back to the pigpen.

She planned to take advantage of this free time to clean out the pigsty well, so that the little piglets could also have a clean life.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Over there, Yang Huamei glanced at Yang Ruohong's back and rolled her eyes.

Si Ge didn't have any interest after that either.

>

I just hope that the fourth sister-in-law will lay eggs like a hen and get it done quickly.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate! ?

She didn't want to stay in this backyard at all, and seeing that chubby girl just made her feel annoyed!

>

At this moment, the Liu household's front yard was bustling with activity.

Lao Wang's wife was a midwife with experience in the village.

Mrs. Tan herself had also given birth to several children.

Two elderly women gathered around Liu's bed. Wang, the family matriarch, was diligently massaging Liu's abdomen and guiding her through breathing exercises.

Tan then stood aside and again assigned Sun to heat the water for boiling the scissors.

Again, I sent Jin Shi to call the fourth child back.

>

Liu was lying in bed, drenched in sweat, her hair a mess on the pillow.

Each strand of it, soaked and slimy, stuck to my face.

She opened her mouth wide and screamed like a pig being slaughtered.

With her eyes closed, she cried out, "Oh my gosh, it hurts so much... I'm going to die..."

Though Tan calmed her several times, Liu continued to scream.

Her voice was so loud that it almost blew the roof off, and nearly the whole village of Changping could hear her.

"Oh my, Fourth Brother, you devil..."

“I gave birth to you, and you went through the gates of hell and didn't come back. Where did you go to have so much fun?”

When it hurt so much, Liu cried out in pain.

Perhaps this is the only way to ease the pain a little.

But Tan, who stood by the bed, was unwilling.

"What are you yelling about? When my son was having fun at night, you should have thought about this!"

Tan shouted, “That's how women give birth! You make such a fuss as if someone's being slaughtered!”

>

“Mother, I’m truly in pain…” Liu shi said through tears.

This is not a normal case of things falling apart naturally, it's like someone pushed it and it fell, causing it to miscarry.

>

This kind of pain is even more excruciating than the pain of a normal childbirth!

But obviously, the mother-in-law didn't care about her daughter-in-law's hardship.

“Doesn't that woman know childbirth doesn't hurt like this? You have the energy to scream, why not save it for when you give birth.”

"If my grandson doesn't come out, I'll have a word with you!"

The howling in the house suddenly subsided a lot.

This is a test.
