My treasure bowl connects the past and present; I've won everything on my journey into exile.

"Quickly, please get Dr. Mu and the midwife."

"Everyone else, quickly prepare food and hot water."

"Get moving, all of you, do you hear me?!"

……

Seeing the man who was panicking and carrying her forward while shouting, Lin Mo felt a warmth in her heart.

This fool.

"Old Xu, calm down!" Lin Jiuyi reached out and grabbed his hand, shaking her head to signal him to put her down.

"Take care of Dad's matter first; I can still bear it."

"You're about to give birth, how can you bear this?" Xu Wuyan interrupted her with red eyes. He pursed his lips and understood the determination in her eyes.

She was thinking of herself; respect for the deceased is paramount.

If he were to abandon his father's remains now, he would surely be criticized.

Xu Wuyan had no choice but to put her down, and with a sullen face, he called over Qinglian and Granny Qin, asking them to help Lin Mo home first.

Lin Mo's stomach hadn't started hurting yet, and she looked at Xu Wuyan with a relaxed expression, "I'm not in pain, you don't need to look so serious."

"Calm down, I'm leaving things here to you."

"Mm." Xu Wuyan nodded.

After they crossed the river, he turned around and led everyone toward the ancestral hall of the Xu family, which had not been built for long.

He couldn't let Lin Mo down.

She endured the pain of childbirth, determined to do this job well, without any mistakes or criticism.

……

"Don't be so nervous, I'm really fine, my stomach doesn't hurt at all, really."

"You guys are really too nervous. Your nervousness makes me nervous too. Relax."

……

Along the way, Lin Mo tried to talk to them to put them at ease.

Unfortunately, Qinglian and the others were all very serious, and her efforts failed.

Once inside the house, two midwives were already waiting, having prepared their belongings.

Without saying a word, they immediately took Lin Mo to the bathroom next door to take a shower.

Lin Mo joked, "Do I need to wash it clean too?"

Why do I feel like a pig waiting to be slaughtered?

It's quite comical to clean them thoroughly before slaughtering them.

Qinglian smiled wryly, "Young Madam, we were all so nervous, how can you still be in the mood to joke?"

The midwife, surnamed Li, said with a smile, "The young mistress has a good attitude."

"Young mistress, please wash your hair and take a bath before you give birth; it will make you more comfortable."

Lin Mo nodded, "I'll do as you say."

As she spoke, she looked earnestly at Qinglian, "Because I'm not in pain right now, there's nothing to be nervous about."

If the midwives hadn't told her about the possible signs of impending childbirth, she wouldn't have even considered the possibility of her child being born.

"Young Madam's water broke first, so she won't feel any pain for now. Take a bath and eat something while you can, because the pain will probably start soon." Midwife Li said as she deftly prepared various things.

……

After Lin Mo finished showering and entered the delivery room, she began to feel a dull ache in her abdomen.

At this point, she lost the desire to joke around.

She looked pitifully at the midwife, Li, and said, "It's starting to hurt, but it's not too painful, I can still bear it."

"Yes, this is normal. Relax, don't panic. The pain will gradually increase." Midwife Li nodded, then handed her a bowl of chicken soup made with ginseng, the meat in which had already been deboned.

“Young Madam, childbirth requires physical strength, especially since you are having twins. You need even more strength. Eat as much as you can now, for your own sake and for the sake of the babies,” Midwife Li said with a serious expression.

She was afraid that she would have difficulty giving birth.

If labor is difficult and the mother lacks the strength, complications can easily arise.

"Okay." Lin Mo nodded obediently.

She didn't make a fuss; after taking the bowl and chopsticks, she slowly began to eat.

Because her stomach started to feel uncomfortable, she didn't have a good appetite, but she still tried her best to stuff food into her mouth and swallow.

Midwife Li was right. For the sake of the child and herself, she had to try her best to eat and ensure she had enough energy.

After she finished eating, the pain became even more intense.

Doctor Mu was already waiting outside.

Seeing that she had finished eating, I immediately went over to take her pulse.

After a while, he finally let go of her hand. "The young mistress is fine. The rest is up to the midwife."

I'll stay outside; call me if anything seems amiss.

He doesn't know how to deliver babies, so naturally, that kind of thing should be left to a midwife.

After saying a few words, he went outside to wait.

Since ancient times, men have not been allowed to stay indoors when a woman gives birth, and even doctors are subject to the same rule, as they must avoid suspicion.

If there is absolutely no other way and a doctor must be present to save a life, then curtains or something similar must be prepared to separate the area.

Lin Mo looked up at the two midwives with a calm expression, "As long as my child is born safely, I will give each of them a red envelope containing one hundred taels of silver."

But if you don't take it seriously, don't blame me for being impolite, understand?

With Granny Qin and the others watching over them, they probably wouldn't dare to make a move.

But when it comes to her own safety, she will naturally issue warnings where necessary; she won't joke about her own safety.

Midwife Li nodded, "Don't worry, young mistress, I will do my best."

However, if you can still bear the pain, young mistress, why don't we help you walk around the room for a while?

If you move around now, your delivery might be faster.

"Just lying in bed waiting to give birth right at the start of labor isn't necessarily a good thing."

"I'll listen to you," Lin Mo said, extending her hand.

When Xu Wuyan returned after settling his father's remains, he saw them helping Lin Mo walk around the house. Lin Mo was in so much pain that she was gritting her teeth and her face was pale. He immediately lost his temper.

"Are you all crazy? She's in so much pain, and you're still helping her walk."

"Tell me, are you trying to kill her?"

As he spoke, he was filled with rage and was about to strike someone.

Anyone who dares to touch her will be killed by her.

"Old Xu, calm down." Lin Mo was a little out of breath.

"Why are you yelling at me?" She glared at him, then looked at the two midwives who were trembling with fear, and tried to soothe them.

"Don't be afraid of him. He just looks fierce. He won't do anything to you."

Then he looked at Xu Wuyan and asked, "What do you know?"

"Move around a bit before giving birth, it'll be easier then. You don't know anything, and you're just being aggressive. Apologize to them right now."

After he finished cursing, he couldn't help but exclaim "Ouch!"

Seeing him still standing there blankly, she couldn't help but feel disgusted, "You're already in here, why don't you hurry up and help me walk a little further?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Wuyan snapped out of his daze and hurriedly ran towards her, saying, "I'm here."

He took the hand of one of the midwives and helped her walk around the room.

Seeing her trembling with pain but still insisting on walking, he couldn't help but feel sorry for her. "Madam, why don't you stop walking?"

"So, you're trying to harm me?" Lin Mo glared at him through gritted teeth.

"Do you want me to die along with my unborn child so that you can make room for a new wife?"

I knew men were all heartless bastards.

Xu Wuyan, I misjudged you.

Xu Wuyan, "..."

What's going on here?

The midwife, Li, who was standing to the side, suppressed a laugh and said, "Young Master Xu, the young mistress is probably talking nonsense because she's in so much pain. You don't need to take it to heart."

Please understand, when the pain is intense, people tend to talk nonsense to distract themselves; otherwise, the pain becomes unbearable.

Xu Wuyan nodded, unable to hide the heartache in his eyes.

That must have hurt so much that his wife was talking nonsense.

Lin Mo wasn't thinking about anything right now, just chattering away with complaints to distract herself.

It hurts so much, it's killing me.

She shouldn't have any more children; the pain is unbearable.

Midwife Li coughed lightly, "Young mistress is almost there now, let's help you back to bed."

After Lin Mo lay down, she looked at Xu Wuyan:

“Young Master Xu, you can go outside and wait now. The delivery room is an unclean place, and men cannot stay here.”

Xu Wuyan frowned, his eyes showing displeasure. "I don't care. I'm going to stay here with my wife."

As he spoke, he knelt down in front of the bed, his face full of tenderness:

"Don't be afraid, Madam. I'm here with you. You'll be alright."

But next second.

Lin Mo, who had been curled up in bed enduring the pain, suddenly kicked him.

"Did you hear me? Get out."

This movement caused her face to contort in pain instantly.

very painful.

Xu Wuyan panicked and carefully put her foot back, then looked at her anxiously, "Madam, what's wrong? Don't scare me."

"Get out of here! This is the delivery room, what are you doing here?" Lin Mo gritted her teeth. "Get out of here, I'm perfectly fine as long as you don't upset me."

Fool, whose wife is giving birth and he's inside watching over her?

They weren't afraid of being laughed at if word got out.

"Okay, okay, don't be angry. I'll go out now. I'll be right outside. Call me if you need anything!" Xu Wuyan panicked and ran outside without thinking.

I was afraid that if I arrived a step too late, I would upset her.

Midwife Li joked, "Young Master Xu really cares about his wife. I've delivered so many babies, and I've never seen a man stay in the delivery room like this."

If it weren't for Madam Xu's anger, he probably wouldn't have wanted to go out.

"Concern leads to confusion!" Lin Mo trembled with pain.

She looked at the midwife and asked, "Is childbirth always this painful?"

"Will I... will I be okay?"

Even now, it would be a lie to say I'm not panicked or afraid, because the pain is excruciating.

“Young Madam, every woman goes through this,” said Midwife Li. “Don’t worry, you will be safe and sound.”

Your pregnancy is going very well, and I've checked the baby's position; it's in the correct position. Just relax and follow my instructions.

"Okay!" Lin Mo tried to relax, but the cramping pain in her stomach made her curl up on the bed.

It hurts!

I'm not having any more children, not even if you kill me!

Woohoo!
