She gave birth to three daughters in a row, and was kicked out by her mother-in-law who favored boys

Gu Qingqing didn't visit any neighbors this year. Instead, she received New Year greetings from several children at home.

In the morning, we have to eat dumplings with copper coins. Last year, one was eaten by Dahei, this year, one was eaten by Gu Qingqing, and the other was eaten by Li Xin.

For this purpose, Li Xin specially found a red rope to string the washed copper coins together and wore it around his neck.

Geng Chunhua came in the afternoon last year and she came in the afternoon again this year, but this year there were several more young wives working at Gu Qingqing's house.

Gu Qingqing did not go back to her parents' home on the second day of the Chinese New Year, so she could only prepare gifts for her parents' home and let Wen Wuyan take Li Xin and their three daughters to go, leaving Wen Shengxi at home to accompany Gu Qingqing.

Because everyone is calculating when she will give birth, but no one can figure out when she will give birth.

This wait lasted until the 16th day of the first lunar month.

Gu Qingqing was sleeping soundly in the middle of the night, and she ignored the pain in her stomach because she was so sleepy.

It was not until a more severe stomachache occurred that Gu Qingqing suddenly woke up from her dream. Even at that moment, she didn't know whether she was dreaming or she really had a stomachache.

Soon after, she began to feel pain in her stomach again, and she was so scared that she hurriedly went to pull Wen Wuyan beside her.

"Speechless, speechless, I think I'm about to give birth." At this moment, Gu Qingqing didn't know whether she should be surprised or scared.

Wen Wuyan was not sleeping soundly. When the voice ended, he sat up in the dark and asked, "Is the baby coming?"

"I, my stomach hurts."

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. I'm here. I'll ask Brother Dong to get the midwife." As Wen Wuyan spoke, he had already lit the oil lamp in the room, put on his cotton-padded clothes hastily, let Gu Qingqing lie down on the kang first, then kissed her on the forehead before running out in a hurry.

Gu Qingqing, lying on the kang, was a little afraid to move. In the silent night, she even heard the sound of Wen Wuyan opening the inner courtyard door and his voice calling Old Yang and Daxin.

Then came the sound of knocking on the east wing.

"Xinxin, hurry up and get up. Your mother is about to give birth. Go to the kitchen and boil some water."

After Wen Wuyan came back, Gu Qingqing could hear the sounds of people walking in the yard and the sounds of mule carts being harnessed outside when her stomach didn't hurt.

Wen Wuyan didn't know what he could do. He could only carefully wipe the sweat from Qingqing's forehead after he got through the pain.

After a while, Wu Fang and the others' voices came from outside, with an anxious tone, "Qingqing, are you going to give birth?"

"Qingqing just now..."

"Oh my God, Wuyan, why are you still in the room? Get out quickly." Wu Fang, who had a loud voice and had her clothes buttons buttoned up like a donkey pulling a mill, ran into the room to show concern for Gu Qingqing. She heard Wen Wuyan's voice coming from the room, and she was so scared that she screamed and hurriedly chased him away.

"I'll stay with Qingqing for a while. I'll go out after a while." Wen Wuyan held Gu Qingqing's hand and refused to leave.

"Nonsense, the women's delivery room is dirty. You still have to take exams this year, so you can't stay here. Get out now." Wu Fang and her friends are traditional women. They only know that men are absolutely not allowed to enter the room at this time.

In fact, Gu Qingqing thought that if Wen Wuyan was by her side, she might not be afraid and feel pressured. But then she thought that if Wen Wuyan saw the process of her giving birth, it would leave a shadow in his eyes in the future...

"You can go out now. I have several sisters-in-law to accompany me, so it's okay." Gu Qingqing had no choice but to chase him away.

"I'll go out after the midwife comes." Wen Wuyan said with concern as he looked at Gu Qingqing who seemed to be in pain from time to time.

Wu Fang was a little anxious. She couldn't indulge Wen Wuyan in this matter. She didn't care about the difference between men and women at this moment. She went up to him and pushed him out. "How can we help Qingqing if you are here? Get out now and don't get in the way here."

"We are here, Wuyan, don't worry." Zhao Qin, who came in, took off her shoes and got on the kang. She rolled up the quilt that Wen Wuyan had slept on to the side, and then held Gu Qingqing's hand to comfort her.

It was impossible for Gu Qingqing to say that she was not afraid. Once she was afraid, she became a bit talkative. With a face soaked with sweat, she whispered to Zhao Qin, "You said, you only gave birth to Jiang He, your only child. You only have that one experience. At least I gave birth to three children. I'm really not nervous."

Zhao Qin chuckled and then pulled her arm higher. "If you're not nervous, why are you holding my hand so tightly?"

Gu Qingqing could see clearly now, and she didn't know when she was the one holding the other person's hand.

"You just held my hand, so I responded to you." She said stubbornly.

Zhao Qin also noticed her nervousness, but it was the first time she knew that she loved to talk when she was nervous. She was thinking about how to distract her, so she deliberately found something to talk to her. "Okay, okay, whatever you say is fine. I'll learn more experience from you this year. It will be good if I have it in the future."

"Then let Zhong Ge Nu when you go back, uh~" A wave of pain came over Gu Qingqing, and she had to interrupt herself.

After the pain passed, she continued the conversation, "Let Zhongge work hard. It's only the beginning of the year. If he moves fast, Jianghe will have a brother or sister by the end of the year."

"That's not a big deal. Now that we have a family, we can give birth to seven or eight children in a row, and our family will be lively in the future." Zhao Qin said casually.

After taking a breath, Gu Qingqing continued to talk, "Why are you here?"

"Da Xin shouted to us that you were about to give birth and asked Dong Ge to go and get a mule cart to pick up the midwife. We heard the noise and hurried over."

As Zhao Qin was talking, Yang Xing came in with a big bowl. There were several white eggs in the red syrup. "Shengxi and Xinxin are really sensible. The eggs are ready. Can you sit up? Eat the eggs and syrup first, so you can have strength later."

Gu Qingqing put on her own cotton-padded coat and wrapped the quilt around her kneeling legs and waist. After eating five eggs in one breath, she looked at the last one in the bowl and couldn't eat any more.

Yang Xing took the bowl that Gu Qingqing handed to her, and Wu Fang brought in two charcoal basins from somewhere.

After they had prepared everything they could, the midwife was finally taken over by Zhao Dong. At this time, the sky outside was beginning to brighten.

The midwife was from another village. After the fifth day of the Chinese New Year, Wen Wuyan took Zhao Dong and some things and went to the midwife's house. On the one hand, it was for Zhao Dong to get acquainted with the family, and on the other hand, he told the midwife about Qingqing so that she would be prepared at all times.

Just as Zhao Dong went over and called the door, people followed him in.

"Grandma Niu, it will all depend on you later. If I do anything wrong or not well enough, you must remind me in time." Gu Qingqing said to Grandma Niu again.

"Don't worry, I'm here to make sure you give birth to a big fat boy smoothly."

Gu Qingqing shook her head. "I don't want to give birth to a fat boy. As long as it's a boy, it's fine. Just don't let him be fat."

If the boy is fat, it means it will be difficult to give birth. In the past, there was C-cut technology, but nowadays, forced birth is necessary. The fatter the boy is, the more suffering she, as a mother, will suffer.

Seeing that she was talkative, the midwife talked to her while keeping an eye on her belly.

The atmosphere in their house was relatively calm, but it was not so good outside.

Wen Wuyan wandered anxiously around the yard like a headless fly.

Li Xin was also anxious, but he didn't dare to go over to disturb his uncle. Instead, he went to Old Yang and asked, "Grandpa Yang, what can we do?"

Li Xinnie's fingertips turned white as he experienced this for the first time, but everyone was so nervous at the time that no one noticed at all.

Just when Li Xin thought that Old Yang was ignoring him, he heard the word "wait" from his mouth, and then he was given a cold look.
