Countdown to Awakening

"Still crying? Are you still crying? You've cried away all the blessings in my family! If you cry again, I'll throw you out to feed the wolves!"

Zhaodi shut up, but tears were still in her eyes.

"what!……"

Chen Jiade kept looking inside the house, stamping his feet anxiously. "Mom, why is she taking so long to give birth this time? She wasn't that slow when she gave birth to those two money-losing babies back then. Will there be any problems?"

"Shut up and stop saying such unlucky things. How could anything happen to my eldest grandson? These two girls have cheap lives. My eldest grandson, he was so blessed that it took a long time to give birth. When I gave birth to you, it also took a long time, and I almost lost my life. I want to say, it is normal for giving birth to a child to be time-consuming and laborious. It would be extremely glorious if the woman in the room lost her life. She sacrificed her mother to protect her son and continued the incense for our Chen family. Think about how many families want sons? You can remarry if you lose your wife, but if you don't have a son, it's not a good thing. My eldest grandson must not get into trouble."

I have long disliked this bitch. If she could die because of giving birth to a grandson, then the Chen family would still look up to her for her contribution to the continuation of the family line. If she still survived... Haha, I don't know yet. If she can take care of her eldest grandson during the confinement period,

Chen Jiade's mother looked at Mengdi and Zhaodi beside her again, and she was furious. She felt a little depressed. These two girls were just a waste of money and a burden!

Zhaodi was woken up by the noise and had just cried, so she was extremely sleepy now.

"Zhao Di, go to sleep. I'll wait here for mom to give birth to my little brother."

4-year-old Mengdi is just like 6 or 7-year-old girls.

Zhaodi nodded, and Mengdi watched her go back to her room.

Chen Jiade rolled his eyes and muttered, "How dare you go to sleep? I haven't slept yet, and she is sleeping?"

Inside the room, Liu Yingdi was sweating profusely, his hair was disheveled, and he looked extremely distressed, tugging at the bedsheets with both hands. Grandma Qian wrung out a towel and wiped the sweat off Liu Yingdi's head.

"Nizi, relax, try harder... Your baby isn't a difficult birth, but it's a bit difficult. It's been so long and he's still not out. I've delivered so many babies, and I've never seen this before. Yours is indeed a bit strange..."

"Grandma Qian...if...if anything happens to me, you must protect my child. It wasn't easy for me to carry him for ten months. It doesn't matter if I die, but my child can't die either..."

Grandma Qian frowned and soothed, "Nizi, let's not say such depressing words, okay? You and the child will be safe and sound, and everything will go smoothly. You're still young, and you've already given birth to two daughters, so don't overthink it."

Liu Yingdi nodded despite the pain.

She was convinced this was a son, and she craved sour foods throughout her pregnancy. The reaction was quite severe, unlike her previous two pregnancies.

If this wasn't a son, she would be so sorry to the Chen family. If she didn't give birth to a son, Chen Jiade and her mother-in-law would be even more cruel to her in the future.

It was already so late, but the news of Liu Yingdi giving birth somehow reached Jiang Wen's ears.

He hurriedly put on his clothes and wanted to go out, but was stopped by Li Weiming.

"Get out of the way! Why are you stopping me?"

"I'm asking you, what can you do by going? You'll only cause more trouble!" Li Weiming woke him up without hesitation. He continued, "Your past relationship with Liu Yingdi will only lead to misunderstandings. You know Chen Jiade's temper. If you rush to go now, people might think it's your child! Are you stupid?!"

After hearing this, Jiang Wen stood there in a daze.

Yes, what could he do there? Given Chen Jiade's attitude towards him, he couldn't even get through the door.

Jiang Wen's eyes suddenly became dull, but if you look closely, you can still see tears in his eyes.

"You're right. Not only can I not help, but... I'll also cause trouble and bring difficulties to her life. But... I don't know what to do. I just want to understand the situation."

Li Weiming pushed up his glasses and said, "This matter has nothing to do with you. The village's Grandma Qian has passed away. She will be fine."

Jiang Wen angrily pushed Li Weiming away. "What do you know? She's only seven months pregnant, and she's already given birth. What does that mean? That bastard Chen Jiade must have messed with her again!"

"It's useless for you to go! Grandma Qian is the most famous midwife and has a lot of experience. Could this be her first time encountering such a situation? You trust her and Grandma Qian. Do you really want her to get into trouble?"

Jiang Wen looked at Li Weiming with an indescribable feeling, but it was undeniable that his words were true.

He sighed and returned to the dormitory.

"Then I'll wait here for news."

Li Weiming didn't want to bear with him like this, so he just said, "Then... I'll go visit you tomorrow morning with some things and find out more about the situation for you."

Jiang Wen looked at him and asked tremblingly, "Are you really willing to go? Then I'll thank you in advance."

Li Weiming nodded. "Her baby was born prematurely. I'm a teacher at the village primary school, so I can visit her without arousing suspicion. You can't go, but I can help you get the baby to her."

"Okay...thank you." After listening to this, Jiang Wen began to search the house for things that could be sent over.

-

A few hours passed...

"Oh, your wife... This is a difficult birth. The feet came out first, and the baby's head is still big and stuck inside. It's my fault for not realizing the baby's position is not right. Your wife is too weak and she doesn't have much time. So tell me, should we save the child or the adults?"

When Chen Jiade's mother heard that the baby was about to be born, she excitedly asked, "Is this baby a boy or a girl?"

Grandma Qian sighed and replied helplessly, "It's a boy."

After hearing the satisfactory answer, Chen Jiade and his mother were very excited, and his mother almost jumped up.

"Save my eldest grandson! Save the younger one, save the younger one!"

Chen Jiade also nodded repeatedly, and seemed to be no longer drunk.

"I want my son! My Chen family's incense! Protect my son!"

Grandma Qian curled her lips, but still went into the house reluctantly.

After hearing this, Mengdi yelled at Chen Jiade and his mother, "Why don't you want my mom?! I want my mom! I don't want my brother!"

She cried stubbornly.

Chen Jiade slapped her in anger. "What do you know, little girl?! Huh? If I hadn't raised you and fed you, would you still be standing here yelling at me? You're turning your elbows towards that stranger! Don't you forget your last name?!"

Although Mengdi was frightened by Chen Jiade's harsh words, she still covered her face and cried and shouted, "I don't want a brother! I only want my mother!"
