Black Market Boss: His Beloved Wife's Lazy Life

"Mom, let's go to the hospital in a couple of days!" Shang Yanfang protested again as she watched her husband and mother busily preparing the things the hospital needed.

"Honey, it's the same if we go later. We'll stay for a few days, and we'll come back after the baby is born." Gao Jianguo didn't know why his wife was so afraid of going to the hospital.

"My dear, it's getting late for the hospital today. Twins are very likely to be born prematurely," Shang's mother said, trying to persuade her daughter.

Having no other choice, Shang Yanfang boarded an oxcart bound for the commune.

Shang's mother even thoughtfully laid a military overcoat on the oxcart.

Shang Yanfang sat on the oxcart, swaying and rocking, until she arrived at the commune bus station, and then took a bus to the county.

"You've finally arrived." Dr. Wang breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Gao Jianguo and Shang Yanfang; he had thought they weren't coming.

"Brother Wang, we came straight here to see you." Gao Jianguo greeted Dr. Wang warmly and started chatting with him.

"Don't worry, brother, I've got everything arranged for you. You'll be admitted to the hospital today." Dr. Wang patted Gao Jianguo on the shoulder to reassure him.

And so, Shang Yanfang stayed at the hospital. Gao Jianguo even booked a room at a nearby guesthouse for Shang's mother, while he stayed at the hospital with Shang Yanfang.

That day, while Shang's mother was away, Shang Yanfang looked at Gao Jianguo longingly and said, "Honey, I want to wash my hair and take a shower."

Shang Yanfang felt a chill run down her spine at the thought of not being able to shower or wash her hair for a month after giving birth.

"Honey, let me help you wipe your body." Shang Yanfang's ward is a large room with five beds, but because it is the obstetrics and gynecology ward, each bed has a curtain for privacy.

"Honey, I want to go to that bathhouse we used to go to last time." Shang Yanfang glanced at the man next door.

"Okay, I'll take you there right away." Gao Jianguo also thought about what that man had done a few days ago.

That day, Shang Yanfang was changing clothes behind the curtain when the man next door secretly peeked through a crack. Luckily, Gao Jianguo noticed in time and beat the man up.

Of course, he did go to the police station, but because someone in the ward testified that the man had indeed peeked and that Gao Jianguo had indeed hit someone, the matter was dropped.

Gao Jianguo once again helped Shang Yanfang to the bathhouse, where the saleswoman was stunned for a long time when she saw Shang Yanfang's belly.

I was a little reluctant to let them in, afraid that something might happen and they wouldn't be able to take responsibility.

Only after Shang Yanfang and Gao Jianguo repeatedly assured them were they allowed to enter, and they would occasionally go to the door to talk to Shang Yanfang.

This time, Gao Jianguo did not bathe with his young wife, but instead helped her wash her hair.

"Honey, don't tell Mom I came to take a bath later. Just say I went to the hair salon to get my hair washed, okay?" Shang Yanfang only wiped herself down briefly today and didn't take a bath.

Gao Jianguo is washing her hair right now.

"Okay, I won't say anything." Gao Jianguo was also worried when he came out, and he knew what his wife was concerned about.

This time they finished showering in just half an hour. Gao Jianguo gave them money and even used a hairdryer to dry Shang Yanfang's hair.

When the two returned to the ward hand in hand, Shang's mother was already there. "Mom, what delicious food did you make today?"

Shang Yanfang looked at her mother with the same greedy look she had when she was a child, and her mother gave her daughter a disapproving look.

"Where did you just go?"

"Mom, I just heard them say that you can't wash your hair or take a bath for a month after giving birth, so I went to wash my hair." Shang Yanfang was helped to the bedside by Gao Jianguo and shook her mother's arm.

"Alright, alright, you're always right. Today I made fish soup and stir-fried green peppers with pork." Shang's mother opened the food box and introduced it to Shang Yanfang.

"Mom, it smells so good! I love you so much!" Shang Yanfang said as she ate with Gao Jianguo, expressing her love for her mother.

"Mother, here are some banknotes. Take them and spend them." Gao Jianguo took out the money he had prepared and handed it to Shang's mother.

"Jianguo, no need. Mother has more here, you can take the flowers yourselves."

"Mom, take the flowers! We have them." Shang Yanfang tried to persuade her mother when she heard her mother was about to refuse.

In the end, Shang's mother couldn't resist her daughter and son-in-law's insistence and put the money away.

"Alright, take the money and I'll keep it for you. Come and get it when you need it."

Shang Yanfang nodded perfunctorily after hearing her mother's words.

After finishing her meal, Mother packed up the lunchbox and took it back to the guesthouse to rest.

Shang Yanfang was also sleepy and took a good nap. She even had a dream in which three little children were playing with her.

She couldn't help but laugh.

Shang Yanfang was awakened by pain in her lower body. She quickly looked at Gao Jianguo, who was keeping her company at the bedside.

Gao Jianguo woke up when she moved and is now looking at her. "Wife, what's wrong? Did you have a nightmare?"

"Husband, husband. I think I'm going into labor." Shang Yanfang looked at Gao Jianguo in fear.

"Honey, don't be afraid, I'll go get the doctor right now," Gao Jianguo quickly reassured his wife.

"Okay, I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid." Seeing that his wife's emotions had stabilized a bit, Gao Jianguo went to find Dr. Wang.

"Dr. Wang, Dr. Wang! My wife is about to give birth!" The nurses and doctors could hear Gao Jianguo's cries from afar.

"Coming, coming." Dr. Wang had been making frequent visits to Shang Yanfang's ward these past few days, and upon hearing Gao Jianguo's shouts, she rushed over. The nurses and doctors were paying close attention to the twins in Shang Yanfang's womb.

He rushed into the ward, quickly drew the curtains, and began examining Shang Yanfang.

"Comrade Shang, don't be afraid, we're here. Take a deep breath." The doctor comforted Shang Yanfang while checking on her condition.

"Comrade Shang, you're still experiencing contractions, and soon it will be the start of labor. Your cervix hasn't dilated yet. You need to get used to the pain. Eat something to replenish your strength later. It would be best to walk around a bit; that will make delivery easier."

After the examination, Dr. Wang felt relieved and at ease.

After Dr. Wang left, Gao Jianguo sat there silently with his young wife.

Seeing his wife covered in sweat from the pain, he really wanted to kick her and make her suffer.

"Darling, dinner's ready." This was the scene that Shang's mother saw when she entered the ward.

"Is Nannan about to give birth?" As someone who had been through it all, she could tell the situation at a glance.

"Mom, the contractions have just started, the doctor said it won't be that fast yet," Shang Yanfang said when Gao Jianguo didn't say anything.

"Jianguo, feed Nannan something so she'll have the strength to give birth later."
