Joyful Motherhood in a Rural Family

“Don’t rush, your body’s frame hasn’t fully opened yet. Don’t push at this time, to prevent yourself from wasting energy, as you may not have any left when you need to push. Old woman like me and you, Madam, have a long history together. No matter what, I will ensure the safety of you and your child. Please be confident,” she said.

“Uh…ah… It hurts…”

Liu Sisi felt as if she was run over by a truck, the pain was unendurable. While she could hear Granny Xu’s voice, the pain was too unbearable and she couldn’t speak. She could only moan instinctively. The world before her was repeatedly spinning.

“You’re almost there! Your birth canal has already opened three fingers wide, you’ll give birth soon. Don’t push now, try to breathe and conserve strength…”

Granny Xu’s voice seemed to be coming from a far-off place.

“Ye Lei…I’m in so much pain. Ye Lei, where are you? It hurts…”

The intense labor pains left Liu Sisi incessantly shaking her head, clasping tightly onto the bedpost and pillow. She stuffed the pillow into her mouth to bite down hard, she could barely react anymore.

“Huh?” Granny Xu abruptly stood up and checked.

Liu Sisi struggled to spit out the pillow: “Granny Xu, I’m not pushing. It’s my stomach pushing on its own.”

“Alright, Madam, don’t worry. When I tell you to push later on, then you push. Understood?”

Granny Xu instructed while gently stroking Liu Sisi’s round belly.

“Both of you, come over here. Prepare to help. Bring the scissors, clean towels, and also bring the alcohol and warm water basin.”

Granny Xu calmly gave instructions, inexplicably reassuring Liu Sisi.

The waves of pain continued. At this moment, Liu Sisi felt as if she had used up all her strength and could only follow Granny Xu’s instructions through her primal instincts.

“Madam, push hard now. Take advantage of the contraction, push all at once and the baby will come out.”

“The baby’s head is coming out! Quick, be careful! Gentle…”

“Madam, don’t push too hard. Be careful not to hurt your birth canal. The baby’s head is not too big, it should be easy to deliver.”

“Madam, push! Push… The baby’s coming out, quickly catch it!”

Soon after, you could hear excited cries from inside, followed by the loud crying of a newborn echoing from the room.

Everyone waiting outside the delivery room jumped up from their chairs at this moment, their eyes glued to the door. Only they knew what they were feeling at that moment.

“The baby is born! The baby is born! God bless us! God bless!”

Elderly Mr. Di couldn’t hold back his tears. Perhaps only he could understand his feelings at that moment!

Everyone crowded at the room’s doorway, vying to catch the first glimpse.

Inside the delivery room, Liu Sisi also heard the child’s sharp cries and relaxed back onto the pillow, a smile on her face.

The baby was born safely, and they had finally gotten through the ordeal!

As expected, a moment later, a midwife came out holding a swaddled baby, cracking the door open just a bit. Her face was full of smiles as she congratulated Elderly Mr. Di.

“Congratulations, Old Master! It’s a little Miss. Currently both mother and daughter are safe. Congratulations, Old Master! ”

It’s a little Miss!

Di Xuan, who was standing nearby, let out a long sigh of relief! It wasn’t until that moment that he realized his legs were so weak that they could barely support his body, shaking violently. Luckily, everyone’s attention was drawn to the baby, and no one noticed his current state.

A flicker of disappointment crossed Elderly Mr. Di’s eyes! But soon after, he let it go.

“Good! Very good, as long as both mother and daughter are safe, everything is fine,” he said. “Nothing is better than people being safe and sound!”

In the midst of speaking, he extended his trembling hand to gently take the child, examining it carefully.

The child looked extraordinarily tiny, red and wrinkled, and one could not tell who he looks like.

Inside the delivery room, Liu Sisi closed her eyes to rest. Childbirth felt like she had barely escaped from the gates of hell. The King of Hell didn’t want her, so she was pushed back.

As she thought of this, she gently fingered her belly, but soon, the smile on her face disappeared, and she couldn’t help crying out in alarm.

“Granny Xu!”

Liu Sisi’s words startled Guihua, who was tidying up the room, making her turn around hurriedly.

Outside the delivery room, a group of people gathered around to check out the baby in the swaddling clothes.

“Oh my god… this child loves to sleep, and is still sleeping so deeply now, this is really incredible!”

“Yes, let me have a look too. Quick, turn around, let me see…”

While everyone was jubilant, the delivery room door was suddenly thrown open from inside, and a worried cry came from the entrance.

“It’s an emergency! Madam! Madam, she… she…”

The hand of Elder Mr. Di, who was holding the baby, trembled and was about to drop the baby on the ground, but he managed to steady his grasp in time.

“What’s going on? You better complete your sentence quickly!”

Old He next to him was getting anxious!

He had guaranteed to Liu Sisi that both mother and daughter would be safe.

But now there was trouble, which frightened Old He, making him head straight for the delivery room.

“Make way! Why are you blocking the door?”

The Di elder on the side was also worried and hurriedly grabbed Old He: “Wait, my daughter-in-law is giving birth inside, what does it have to do with you as a man going in?”

Old He glared, forcefully pushing Elderly Mr. Di away: “Ignorant! Is saving lives more essential, or so-called reputation? Step aside! Let me go in and save her! Don’t delay the critical time for me to save others.”

Finally, the midwife at the side spat out the phlegm that had been stuck in her throat and rushed to stop Dr. He from dashing in.

“Oh, dear! Let this young woman finish her sentence. Madam, Madam has another child in her belly. They are twins! Terrible!”

“What? Twins!”

All the people in the scene were stunned!

The Di family had no precedent of twins being born, so no one had anticipated this possibility, and it took a long while for them to react.

“Hahaha…it turns out to be twins, twins! Haha… ”

Elderly Mr. Di suddenly burst into laughter! The burden on his heart seemed to be lifted all at once.

The people nearby displayed a variety of expressions, akin to a drama on stage. Especially Di Xuan, who gradually disappeared behind the screen at the side of the hall, his face completely obscured.
