Carrying eggs, peanuts, and chickens, Lin Jingshen's smile almost stretched to his ears the moment he saw the factory gate.

He hadn't eaten for almost a day, yet he moved with incredible speed.

He ran all the way to the factory, then to the dormitory area, and stood at the familiar door of his room. Lin Jingshen raised his hand and knocked, "Knock, knock, knock!!!"

The sound, though not loud, was unusually loud in the quiet environment.

Lin Jingshen knocked several times, repeatedly, but no one came to open the door after more than ten minutes.

Lin Jingshen called out, "Mom, Mom..."

When no one paid him any attention, he ran to the window and looked into the house.

Aside from being able to see the living room, you can't see into the other rooms; the curtains are drawn.

Lin Jingshen wasn't sure if anyone was inside the house.

But after knocking on the door for so long, there's probably no one home.

"Where did they go?" Lin Jingshen asked, puzzled.

He just came here and didn't see his mother taking the child out to play!

Lin Jingshen put down his belongings and prepared to go to the factory area to look for them.

After taking only a few steps, Lin Jingshen suddenly remembered something and quickly turned back to pick up his things.

He thought that Chi Yue might have given birth.

Chi Yue's due date is just around the corner.

There's no one at home now, that's for sure.

Just as Lin Jingshen shouldered his things, Wen Tang led Zhong Meixian and the others over.

When Jiajia saw Lin Jingshen, she took off running towards him with her short legs.

Lin Jingshen put the things down again, opened his arms, and called out, "Jiajia!"

Catching his daughter and happily picking her up, Lin Jingshen carried her towards Wen Tang and the others, asking, "Grandma, has Xiaoyue given birth?"

Zhong Meixian nodded. "Yes, she gave birth. We just got back from the hospital."

Zhong Meixian continued walking forward as she spoke, but Lin Jingshen stood there motionless. "Which hospital?"

"It's the hospital right in front of here."

"Then I'll go take a look!"

As Lin Jingshen spoke, he kissed his daughter on the forehead, "Jiajia, be a good girl, go find your aunt first, and Daddy will go to the hospital to see Mommy."

Jiajia didn't quite understand, but she understood a little bit. The main thing was that Lin Jingshen had already held her, so when he handed her over to Lin Jiaojiao, Jiajia accepted it without hesitation.

Lin Jingshen turned to leave.

Wen Tang spoke up again, "Could you please change into a set of clothes without feathers and wash them a little?"

"Yueyue just gave birth. Are you going to make Yueyue and the baby sick by going there like this?"

Having carried chickens all the way, Lin Jingshen was indeed covered in chicken feathers.

Before Lin Jingshen could speak, Wen Tang started openly insulting him again, "The baby's been born, and you're all anxious about it now? When Yueyue was in labor all night, I didn't see you anywhere!"

Lin Jingshen's lips parted, but he couldn't speak. He only asked Zhong Meixian for the key and then went inside to take a quick shower.

Zhong Meixian untied the chicken that Lin Jingshen had brought, tied only one leg to the door, and fed it some leftover rice.

She took the peanuts that Lin Jingshen brought out from her pocket.

Upon seeing that the peanuts were fresh, Zhong Meixian said, "Xiaotang, Mom washed the peanuts and will boil them in salt water for you."

Wen Tang nodded.

Zhong Meixian put the eggs in the kitchen again. While tidying up the eggs, Zhong Meixian couldn't help but say, "Xiao Tang, take some of these eggs with you when you go home tonight. You can steam them or fry them whenever you want. They're both good."

Wen Tang shook her head, indicating that she didn't want it. "Mom, if I want to eat this, I can buy it from someone else."

"These are all for Yueyue to eat during her postpartum period."

But Zhong Meixian looked at the eggs and said, "Most of these were given to me by your mother."

"My mom made this for Yueyue during her postpartum period."

"Even if she can't eat all of these," the old lady muttered, still showing favoritism as she looked at the eggs, feeling that her daughter-in-law wasn't losing out.

Wen Tang was drinking water when she heard this and spat it out. "Mom, please don't feel bad about wasting these eggs!"

"I'm telling you, I really don't like it."

"If I really liked eating this, I would definitely buy a lot."

"Besides, there aren't many eggs. I'll definitely eat more when I'm in postpartum confinement."

Upon hearing Wen Tang mention postpartum confinement, Zhong Meixian grinned and agreed, "Don't worry, when you're in confinement, even if you want a whole hen a day, Mom will go out of town and skewer it for you."

"Okay, I'll definitely eat as much as I want then, have a proper postpartum period, and fatten myself up nicely."

After Wen Tang finished speaking, Zhong Meixian rearranged all the eggs.

She has some human flaws; she's a bit biased and a little selfish. She can clearly distinguish between her daughter-in-law and granddaughter-in-law, who is more important.

But she can also put herself in others' shoes.

She wants her own daughter-in-law to have a proper postpartum period, but does that mean it doesn't matter if her granddaughter-in-law has a postpartum period?

The girl no longer has any family, and her family is not lacking in food and drink. Why are they so worried about these eggs?

After arranging the eggs, Zhong Meixian began picking out peanuts. "I'll boil some peanuts now, and you can take some back with you for Yanli to try tonight."

Wen Tang put down her cup and nodded. "Okay, I'll go buy groceries. Mom, is there anything you'd like to eat?"

"No, I'll eat whatever you buy."

Wen Tang didn't say anything more. When she turned to leave, Lin Jingshen had also finished washing up and changed into clean clothes.

Dressed in clean clothes, Lin Jingshen didn't stop for a moment. "Grandma, Aunt, I'm going to the hospital."

When he passed by Wen Tang, she kindly told him the name of the hospital and the ward number to prevent him from touching things randomly.

"Thank you, Auntie," Lin Jingshen said, and then ran off as fast as he could.

Wen Tang also hurried off to buy groceries.

When Lin Jingshen arrived at the hospital, it was already past five o'clock.

After Wen Tang and the others left, Chi Yue slept for a while longer.

Gu Jinfeng was still asleep by the bedside. She hadn't felt anything in the morning, but in the afternoon, she couldn't wake up unless someone called her.

When Lin Jingshen arrived, Chi Yue had just gotten out of bed to go to the bathroom, and Lin Jingshen spotted her immediately.

Seeing Chi Yue supporting herself on the bed and walking forward, Lin Jingshen's nose suddenly stung with tears.

He strode inside and reached out to support Chi Yue.

Chi Yue was taken aback, and when she looked up and saw it was him, she was even more stunned.

Lin Jingshen said in a slightly hoarse voice, "Where are you going? I'll help you."

Chi Yue stared at him blankly, thinking she wouldn't resent Lin Jingshen. After all, neither of them wanted this situation.

If not for the circumstances, Lin Jingshen was actually very good to her.

After a night of agonizing childbirth, Lin Jingshen was not by her side...

When Lin Jingshen stood beside her, Chi Yue realized that she still harbored some resentment towards him.

She complained that Lin Jingshen was so late, and why he couldn't have come a day earlier. She wished he had come a day earlier.

But Chi Yue was a very calm person, and she quickly adjusted her emotions. "Go to the restroom."

She knew Lin Jingshen didn't mean it, but she lost her usual thoughtfulness; she even forgot to smile at him.

Lin Jingshen's eyes and face clearly showed his heartache for her.

Lin Jingshen helped the person to the toilet, and after the person came out, he helped the person to the bed.

Then he sat down on the edge of the bed and expressed his apology, "I'm sorry, Xiaoyue, I'm late," his expression revealing endless grievance.

Chi Yue simply changed to a more comfortable position and lay down.
