Old Madam Wan's face darkened: "It's good to have something to eat. When Feng Xiangmei gave birth to her child, she didn't even have one to eat."

It’s Feng Xiangmei again!

Yang Chunhua's face suddenly turned dark. Just now Wan Guofu said that Feng Xiangmei gave birth to the baby at home, and now Old Lady Wan said that Feng Xiangmei didn't even eat eggs when she gave birth!

One by one, they all said that Feng Xiangmei was less of a worry to them than themselves. Since Feng Xiangmei was so good, why didn’t they want her anymore?

However, she was in danger at the moment and did not dare to confront Old Lady Wan. She took the bowl and ate two poached eggs in no time. Although the brown sugar water in the bowl was a little less sweet, she did not waste it and drank it all up.

Just after she finished eating, another contraction came. She lost her grip on the enamel bowl and dropped it to the ground...

Mrs. Wan, who was boiling water in the kitchen, heard the noise and went into the house immediately. She saw the enamelware pot on the ground had been smashed and the porcelain was broken. She was furious and cursed at Yang Chunhua: "Hey, you little whore, why did you smash my bowl? Do you know how much this bowl of mine costs?"

Yang Chunhua had a severe stomachache and didn't bother to argue with Old Lady Wan. She just said, "Shut up. I'll compensate you with a bowl after I give birth to the baby!"

"What are you going to use to compensate me? You didn't earn a penny, and you're just spending my son's money."

Yang Chunhua only felt a severe stomachache, and streams of amniotic fluid flowed out of her body. Then, she suddenly widened her eyes, looked at Old Lady Wan, and begged, "Mom, come and help me quickly, the baby seems to be coming out..."

Old Madam Wan habitually wanted to say that she was busy and let Yang Chunhua handle it herself, but she quickly realized what Yang Chunhua was talking about and immediately became anxious: "Oh, what should we do? Look at you, how come you give birth to a child faster than a hen lays eggs? Guofu is really something. Let him hire a midwife. Is he living in someone else's house?"

She was so angry that she stamped her feet. Finally, she had no choice but to think that Old Lady Wan could no longer care about the quarrel with the Third Old Lady. She hurried out the door and slammed the door of Third Grandfather Wan An Ning's house behind her house...

Yang Chunhua thought her mother-in-law had gone to get some hot water and would be back soon, but she ended up lying in bed waiting for her mother-in-law but no one showed up, and the baby couldn't wait to come out...

She was angry and anxious, but fortunately she had given birth to several children before, so she was not completely ignorant. She took a few deep breaths and prepared to take care of the situation herself...

Fortunately, the midwife and the third grandmother also rushed over at this time. Seeing Yang Chunhua's appearance, they both couldn't help but gasp.

The third grandmother knew that her second sister-in-law disliked her, so she just glanced at her sideways and said nothing.

The midwife had no scruples. She scolded Wan Guofu and helped Yang Chunhua clean up while scolding him. She asked the third grandmother to help her light the kerosene lamp, burn the scissors to cut the baby's umbilical cord, and massaged Yang Chunhua's belly...

Old Lady Wan didn't dare to come forward. She waited until the midwife had finished packing the child before she could not help but step forward and ask, "Is it a girl or a boy?"

The midwife snorted in annoyance and said to Wan Guofu, "Now your wish has come true. It's a boy!"

"Oh my! This is really the blessing of the Bodhisattva..."

Old Mrs. Wan clasped her hands together and bowed in all directions.

"Guofu, you have a son! It seems that the reason you didn't have a son before was indeed Feng Xiangmei's fault!"

The Third Grandma couldn't stand the way Old Lady Wan belittled Feng Xiangmei. She picked up the child and put him next to Yang Chunhua. She said to Wan Guofu, "Guofu, now you have a son too. Just live a good life in the future."

Wan Guofu's face was wrinkled with joy. Seeing Third Grandma was about to leave, he hurriedly stood up to see her off: "Okay, Third Aunt, don't worry, I will definitely live a good life."

The third grandmother glanced at him and said, "Hmm," "Take good care of your wife. No need to send her off. It's just about the front and back yards. I'm going back now."

Wan Guofu returned to the house and saw Mrs. Wan poking the child's face with her finger: "Oh, look at my little grandson, how big his brain has grown, you can tell at a glance that he is a smart one!"

"Mother, please take the red envelope from Aunt Qiao'er first. When Chunhua wakes up, I will ask her to return the money to you."

Old Mrs. Wan took out a dollar from her pocket and handed it to Wan Guofu.

Wan Guofu took it and said, "Mom, there are two pieces each, but one piece is missing!"

"No! When she came, your wife had already given birth, and you didn't ask her to help with the delivery. It was just cutting the umbilical cord, and one dollar was the most she paid!"

Mrs. Wan's voice was not low, so the midwife naturally heard it. She curled her lips and said, "Guofu, your mother is right. I really didn't help much. One dollar is enough! Okay, you don't have to send it off. Go back!"

It was already dawn. The midwife took the money from Wan Guofu, didn't say anything unpleasant, and didn't ask him to send it off. She just left.

……

Wan An Ning was awakened by a burst of firecrackers. She threw off the quilt and got out of bed in annoyance. The sound of firecrackers was still ringing, as if it was right next to her ears.

She came out of the house and saw Feng Xiangmei picking mung beans in the yard, but she was distracted. She put her hand in the bowl of mung beans and fiddled with it, but didn't pick up anything.

The sound of firecrackers finally stopped.

Wan An Ning rubbed his ears and called out to Feng Xiangmei, "Mom?"

Feng Xiangmei uttered an "ah" and seemed to have come back to her senses all of a sudden: "An An, you're awake. I was just about to make some mung bean porridge. If you're okay, help me peel the winter melon. We'll stir-fry the winter melon later."

Wan An Ning cut half a piece of winter melon, took a knife and started peeling it.

"Oh, mom, who set off the firecrackers just now? They made my ears hurt!"

Feng Xiangmei paused as she picked up the green beans: "Your father put them there..."

"My dad set off those firecrackers? Why set off such big firecrackers so early in the morning?" Wan An Ning was a little puzzled.

Feng Xiangmei smiled bitterly.

"What else can he do? This time he finally got what he wanted!"

"As you wish? What did you wish for?"

Feng Xiangmei said nothing and lowered her head to pick mung beans.

Wan An Ning waited for a long time but there was no answer from Feng Xiangmei. When he looked up, he saw a very sad aura emanating from Feng Xiangmei.

She thought about the purpose of Wan Guofu climbing over the wall to borrow the cart at night, and she suddenly understood.

Yang Chunhua is born!

Moreover, he is the son that Wan Guofu has been thinking about all the time!

Seeing Feng Xiangmei's sad look, she didn't know how to comfort her. Unless the baby in her belly was also a son, otherwise, she would feel resentful for the rest of her life.

"Mom, the winter melon skin has been peeled. Can I start the fire?"

Wan An Ning pretended to know nothing. He put the peeled winter melon on the chopping board, scooped water into the pot, and sat in front of the stove.

"Okay...Okay, wait for me to wash the mung beans..."

"Oh, mother, I forgot to tell you," Wan An Ning changed the subject, "My aunt said that cousin Zhan Peng's marriage has been decided. This time they have found out everything about him. He is a very good person, and they plan to hold the wedding before the New Year."

When Feng Xiangmei heard that her nephew's marriage was settled, she felt much better.

"Just make up your mind. Children his age can walk now."
