Chapter 75 Labor Pains

Shen Zhiyu’s cry of pain made Gu Ye almost jump up and fly out to find the doctor. “Doctor, my wife is going to give birth!” Seeing him fly out, Shen Zhiyu almost thought her eyes were playing tricks on her. Chen Cuijuan, having been through this before, knew that this was just the beginning. She touched her daughter’s forehead. “It just hurt for a moment, and it’s still coming and going.”

 In late pregnancy, her stomach would often ache suddenly, and Shen Zhiyu would whine for a while at first. Later, she got used to it, and she even told Chen Cuijuan that she was much stronger than before, and she probably wouldn’t be afraid when she gave birth. But now, the intermittent contractions gave her a harsh slap in the face.

The stomach pain she had before was not on the same level as this pain! “It’s coming and going, Mom, woo woo woo.” It wasn’t very painful at first, but when she met Chen Cuijuan’s worried gaze, Shen Zhiyu couldn’t hold back her tears.

Chen Cuijuan was heartbroken, her eyes were red. Sometimes, she wished Shen Zhiyu had given birth to a son, so that her grandson wouldn’t have to go through pregnancy and childbirth again. But she knew that Shen Zhiyu had always wanted a daughter. Daughters are caring, sweet and soft. Many people said that daughters are a money-losing proposition, Chen Cuijuan just wanted them to go away, they were such idiots. It’s not good to say that your daughter is bad if you haven’t raised her well. It’s just that if you give birth to a daughter, women will have to go through childbirth, pregnancy and childbirth are too painful, and the mother’s heart aches when she stands by and watches. For the past half month, Chen Cuijuan hadn’t slept a good night.

Or rather, she didn’t dare to sleep too soundly, afraid that her daughter would suddenly go into labor in the middle of the night, and she had grown several white hairs in anxiety. Now, seeing her finally go into labor, she was both happy and afraid. “It’s okay, it’s okay, don’t cry, Mom is here, the doctor will be here soon.” As soon as she finished speaking, Gu Ye and the doctor and nurses rushed over. Confirming that she was in labor, they immediately called the nurses to wheel her to the delivery room.

The pregnant woman’s mother-in-law on the bed next to Shen Zhiyu was woken up and impatiently clicked her tongue. “It’s just giving birth, what’s all the fuss about, I’ve never seen someone who can howl like this. When I gave birth, I endured the difficult labor and didn’t cry, I went back to work in the fields the day after I gave birth.” She spoke with a special kind of pride. In those days, rural people didn’t have the concept of confinement.

The doctor was used to it, but he didn’t agree. He also said to the other pregnant women in the ward, “If you can have confinement after giving birth, you must have it. Otherwise, urinary incontinence is the least of your worries. You’ll have a bunch of illnesses. You must take good care of yourself, and go for check-ups immediately if you feel uncomfortable.” The woman on the bed next door had long been annoyed by her mother-in-law.

As soon as the doctor finished speaking, she immediately chimed in, “Yes, this auntie has urinary incontinence, she smells of urine, and she won’t admit it!” The old woman’s face froze, her mouth twitched, and she was about to rush over to scold her. Shen Zhiyu was dizzy with pain, all she could hear was Chen Cuijuan comforting her, and she didn’t hear the old woman’s words at all. But Gu Ye and Chen Cuijuan heard it. They had endured it just now because they were taking care of Shen Zhiyu, but when they came back to get things after their daughter went into the delivery room, they heard the old woman going on and on, and her words became even more unpleasant.

Chen Cuijuan clenched her fists, suddenly got up, rushed over, and slapped the old woman. They were all laborers who had done hard work for decades, their hands were incredibly strong, and the slap landed with a resounding smack, making the old woman howl. “You’re all mothers, it’s your business if you don’t accumulate virtue for your descendants, but my daughter is in the delivery room now, if you say these things again, do you believe I’ll beat you to death!

If anything happens to my daughter, you’ll be paying for it with your life!” Chen Cuijuan, who was always kind, had a fierce look on her face, which immediately subdued everyone in the ward. Including the old woman. After she came to her senses, she wanted to fight back, but before she could move, she was caught by Gu Ye, who had rushed back, and taken outside the ward. He was a soldier, and he wouldn’t hit an old person, a child, or a woman unless it was absolutely necessary. But he had his own way of dealing with things, and the army had its own discipline.

 The military hospital was also part of the army, and besides the doctors and nurses, there were also soldiers responsible for other support work. “Comrade, this woman is causing trouble in the ward and seriously disrupting the order of the ward, please deal with her.” The soldier on duty recognized Gu Ye immediately, stood at attention and saluted, indicating that he would deal with it immediately. Just at that moment, her son also arrived at the hospital.

 When he saw his mother, his eyelids twitched. He didn’t need to think to know that his old mother’s mouth had caused trouble again. “Regiment Commander Gu!” The old woman saw her son and wanted to complain, but when she heard her son call Gu Ye “Regiment Commander”, she was startled, and her foul language immediately disappeared. “Yaozu! Mom is wronged!” Luo Yaozu looked at his mother in despair. “Regiment Commander Gu, my mother is a country woman, she hasn’t been educated, she doesn’t understand anything.

 My father died early, don’t be bothered by her, I’ll take her home now.” “Being a country woman is not an excuse to be rude and curse people. I’m a country woman too.” Luo’s mother was still howling, Luo Yaozu closed his eyes. “Mom, are you going to kill me? I might as well not be a soldier, I’ll take off my uniform and go back with you now!”

 Gu Ye wasn’t the first person to come to him. But in the past few times, he had thought about how his widowed mother had raised him alone, and he hadn’t dared to say harsh words to his mother. This time, after hearing what his mother said outside, his heart skipped a beat, and his gaze at Luo’s mother was terrifyingly unfamiliar. Luo’s mother was startled by her son’s words. “Yaozu, how can you not be a soldier!” “Isn’t it what you want if I’m not a soldier!

” The mother and son were arguing at the entrance of the hospital, Gu Ye was still worried about his wife, he gave the soldier standing guard at the door a few instructions, and then strode back to the entrance of the delivery room. Chen Cuijuan, who had been so imposing just now, was now clinging to the door of the delivery room, looking inside with worry.

 “Mom, you sit down.” How could Chen Cuijuan sit down? She couldn’t just wait here for a while, knowing that her son-in-law had driven Luo’s mother away, she looked at her son-in-law with even more satisfaction. Gu Ye was indeed a good man. But Chen Cuijuan had been worried before, some people are too good, they are good to outsiders, and sometimes they will even wrong their own family for outsiders. Outsiders are fine, but relatives are the real trouble.

 Now, seeing Gu Ye deal with things so decisively, Chen Cuijuan felt relieved. She asked him to stay here and watch, while she went back to apologize to the pregnant woman on the bed next door. After all, it was her mother-in-law who was driven away, and she was the one taking care of her here. Who knew, the patient on the next bed didn’t care at all, she was even happy.

 Her mother-in-law was a master at acting, she didn’t do anything here, and she didn’t say a single good word. But her husband didn’t believe her, which made her furious. Now, it was finally quiet, and she could also let her husband see what kind of person his mother really was.
