Chapter 129 Giving Birth
Not long after, a loud cry echoed throughout the yard.
But outside, apart from the two daughters who were still crying and worried about their mother, Manager Wu and the old lady had already gone back to sleep.
When the first ray of sunshine shone on the earth, Zhao Xiangrong and Pan Xi were ready to go out. As soon as they opened the door, they met the neighbor woman next door.
"You went out to buy groceries early in the morning." Zhao Xiangrong greeted the woman.
The woman carried the basket and said, "Yes, my mother-in-law helped deliver a baby last night and was exhausted all night. I want to nourish her body today."
The three of them chatted as they walked out until they reached the door of the store and then separated.
When Shen Wei came to the shop.
Zhao Xiangrong's heart was still complicated. She sighed and immediately told Shen Wei the news she got from the woman: "Wei Wei, Mrs. Wu, the shopkeeper, gave birth to a son."
"It was not easy for her. I heard that she took a whole day and night to give birth to this son."
Shen Wei was shocked.
This is not modern times, and there is no pain relief equipment.
In ancient times, if you could give birth in one night, how much suffering would that be?
"After giving birth all night, is Mrs. Wu okay?"
Zhao Xiangrong suppressed his distressed emotions, nodded happily and said, "I heard that the mother and child are safe."
After hearing that both mother and child were safe, Shen Wei was stunned for a second, then smiled and said, "It's good that they are safe. I will go see her after she is out of confinement."
After all, there are too many taboos in confinement. Although Shen Wei doesn't care, it's scary that someone does.
She didn't dare to go to see Mrs. Wu immediately.
Unexpectedly, a few days later, a maid from the wife of Manager Wu came over and asked Shen Wei to go to the martial arts gym.
Shen Wei immediately bought gifts and visited on the way to the martial arts gym.
The maid took Shen Wei directly to the old lady's room. In the room, the old lady greeted Shen Wei with a smile: "Xiao Wei, you are here."
"Come and accompany Xiaoyun quickly. She just gave birth and needs someone to counsel her."
Shen Wei was surprised by the old lady's sudden enthusiasm, which made her feel a little weird.
She hasn't met the old lady, so how could she be so warm?
Before Shen Wei could think about it, Xiao Yun, who was lying on the bed, said to the old lady: "Mother, please hold the child and walk for a while."
When the old lady heard that she could hold her grandson, she hurriedly took him away.
Before leaving, he did not forget to say to Shen Wei with a smile:
"Then I'll bring my grandson back later to feed you. You two can chat slowly. Xiao Wei, it's okay for you to stay a little longer. Just keep her company."
When Shen Wei and Xiao Yun were the only ones left in the room, Shen Wei moved a stool and sat in front of Xiao Yun's bed.
As soon as she entered the room, she felt something was wrong. The old lady's excessive enthusiasm and the sadness between Xiaoyun's eyebrows were like the morning mist, hazy and confusing.
"What happened?"
When Xiaoyun saw the concern in Shen Wei's eyes, the strength she had shown in the past few days instantly melted into water and flowed out from the corners of her eyes.
Seeing Xiaoyun's appearance, Shen Wei guessed that her childbirth was not so smooth.
But when Shen Wei heard from Xiaoyun what had happened in the past few days, his face immediately turned cold.
Xiaoyun had no one to talk to about her depression these days. Now she finally found an opportunity to ask Shen Wei to come over. She cried and asked Shen Wei for help.
"Xiao Wei, wuwuwuwu......."
"What should I do? If it were you, what would you do?"
"On the day of delivery, I was almost dead inside, but they were discussing outside about bringing the woman back. They also said that it would be a good thing if I died in there, so that they could make room for me as soon as possible."
"If I hadn't given birth to a son, I would have been kicked out by them long ago."
"I feel so suffocated now. Every day when I see them trying to hug my son, I want to vomit and I want to beat them to death."
"Wuwuwu...Xiaowei, I really can't think of any other solution, so I use my son as a threat. Unless they ask you to come and talk to me, I will feed my son and take care of him."
"I am so disgusted with myself. I actually used my son as a bargaining chip. I feel like my life is such a failure..."
