Armed with a machete and a gun, armed with a system, they fled the famine.

Chapter 476 As Wish Fulfilled

Qiu Zhen was at home making chicken soup to find a daughter-in-law when she heard her youngest son's urgent shout. She hurriedly pulled the firewood out of the stove and ran outside.

As she walked, she instructed Zhou Renbin, "Go quickly to your Aunt Li's house and invite her in. I'll go check on Caixia first."

"Yes, Mother, I'll go right away."

Seeing his mother heading towards his house, Zhou Renbin turned around and ran towards Aunt Li's house.

Before long, everyone in Huaihua Village knew that Zhou Renbin's wife was about to give birth.

Zhao Yan heard the commotion coming from across the street from her own home and sent Yang Sanlang to take a look.

When Yang Sanlang returned to the farm, before Zhao Yan could ask, he said, "It's nothing. Zhou Renbin's wife is about to give birth, and he got nervous, so his voice was a little loud."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yan jumped up from her chair.

She shoved Xiao Fubao into Yang Sanlang's arms and walked outside.

"You two stay here, I'll go check out the other side."

At Zhou Renbin's home.

Qi Caixia was pacing back and forth in the room, her face pale, with Qiu Zhen beside her, looking anxious.

Although she had given birth to several sons when she was young, she still wasn't very confident about this pregnancy with Qi Caixia.

She stood close behind Qi Caixia, afraid that she would fall.

"Caixia, does it hurt a lot? Why don't you go to bed and lie down?"

"This is your first child, and it's probably still a while before you give birth."

Qi Caixia's forehead was covered in sweat, but she still gritted her teeth and kept walking around the room.

She comforted Qiu Zhen, saying, "Mother, don't worry, my stomach doesn't hurt too much. Aunt Li said I need to get up and move around, I can't just lie there all the time."

Knowing her physical condition, she didn't dare to eat too much at each meal during the last two months, and she would also take time to stroll around the neighborhood every day so that she would have enough energy to give birth.

Like now, her stomach hurts from time to time, but she grits her teeth and perseveres.

"Slow down, don't rush."

Seeing that she insisted, Qiu Zhen didn't try to persuade her any further, but just stood by and protected her.

Not long after, Zhou Renbin invited Aunt Li back.

After a thorough examination, Aunt Li said to Qiu Zhen with a relaxed attitude, "It's still a long way from giving birth, sister, don't worry. Now you should go and make some food for Caixia, and let her eat and drink her fill first."

Upon hearing this, Qiu Zhen finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Okay, I'll go make something to eat right away."

She gave her youngest son some more instructions before hurrying back home.

She still had some chicken soup warming in the pot, and she planned to make noodles for Caixia with the soup later.

He ran into Zhao Yan as soon as he stepped out the door.

Zhao Yan spoke first, asking, "Aunt Zhou, how is Caixia now? Is she about to give birth?"

Since Qi Caixia married Zhou Renbin, Qiu Zhen would bring her along every time she visited the farm. As a result, Zhao Yan and Qi Caixia became acquainted over time.

Qi Caixia is quiet by nature, and Zhao Yan takes good care of her.

Qiu Zhen said with a smile, "Caixia's stomach has just started to hurt. Your Aunt Li said it's still early for her, so I'll go back and make her something to eat and bring it over. Don't worry, Xiao Zhao, Caixia is fine."

Zhao Yan nodded slightly upon hearing this.

"Yes, if needed, just have Renbin go across the street to call us. Yuanbo and I are both here."

Qiu Zhen immediately replied with a smile, "Okay, okay, thank you for making the trip. You go back and rest first. I'll have Renbin let you know when Caixia gives birth."

"okay."

Zhao Yan nodded and smiled at Qiu Zhen before turning and walking back.

Qi Caixia's pregnancy was quite an ordeal.

She didn't give birth to a daughter until the morning of the third day.

The little one was born with delicate features and fair, smooth skin.

When Qiu Zhen heard that it was her granddaughter, she was overjoyed and gave Aunt Li a big red envelope.

Although Qi Caixia felt slightly disappointed, she breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that her mother-in-law did not mind and even seemed happy.

After all, she was the daughter she had given birth to after two days and two nights of labor, so how could she possibly dislike her? She was just worried that her mother-in-law wouldn't like her.

Seeing Qiu Zhen holding her daughter with such affection, calling her her precious darling, she was truly astonished.

Before giving birth, she asked her husband, "What if it's a girl and Mom doesn't like her?"

Zhou Renbin grinned and said to her, "Don't worry, what Mom wants most right now is a granddaughter. If we really give her a granddaughter, she'll be absolutely happy."

Qi Caixia just smiled at the time, but she was still worried in her heart.

Now, seeing Qiu Zhen's face full of wrinkles from smiling, she finally believed her husband's words.

Her mother-in-law really does like the little girl.

If I had known, she wouldn't have worried.

Qiu Zhen held her granddaughter and hummed a little tune gently. After the little one fell asleep, she gently placed her next to Qi Caixia and then said to her youngest son, "Renbin, go across the street and tell your sister Zhao that Caixia gave birth to a lovely granddaughter for me. Tell them not to worry."

Zhou Renbin glanced at his baby girl in the swaddling clothes with a grin. Seeing that his wife was doing well, he told her what was wrong and then quickly left.

Qi Caixia's delivery went relatively smoothly this time. Apart from occasional abdominal pain in the first two days, there were no major problems.

Qiu Zhen and Aunt Li both thought that her first childbirth would be difficult, but they didn't expect that after her cervix was fully dilated, she gave birth quite quickly and delivered her daughter in less than half an hour.

However, having a stomachache for two days and two nights was really torturous.

Qi Caixia was glad that she went out for a walk every day, which made her delivery go so smoothly.

Turning to look at the little one beside her, a gentle smile appeared on her face.

After Qiu Zhen and her youngest son went outside, she walked over quietly and asked with a smile, "Caixia, are you hungry? Would you like to get up and eat something else?"

Qi Caixia quickly shook her head and said, "Mom, I'm not hungry, I'm just a little tired."

After two days and two nights of pain, plus having just given birth, it's no wonder I was exhausted.

Qiu Zhen said softly, "Go to sleep if you're tired. Don't worry, little one, I'm here."

Upon hearing this, Qi Caixia immediately said, "Then I'll take a nap first. Thank you for your hard work, Mother."

Qiu Zhen immediately smiled and said, "What's the big deal? Stop talking and go to sleep."

Qi Caixia was really tired. After exchanging a few words with Qiu Zhen, she closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

When Zhao Yan heard that Qi Caixia had given birth to a daughter, her eyes immediately lit up.

"Congratulations, your mother's wish has come true."

Ever since Caixia gave birth to her daughter, Zhou Renbin's smile has never faded.

He said with a smile, "Of course! When my mother heard that Caixia had given birth to a daughter, her whole demeanor changed. She spoke less loudly and acted less hastily. Her face and eyes were full of tenderness, as if she could melt anyone's heart."
