He Pingan was sleeping at night when he was suddenly awakened by a shout.

"Someone come quickly, my daughter-in-law is about to give birth!" Jia Zhang's voice came into He Ping'an's ears through the window.

After hearing this, He Pingan also knew that Qin Huairu was about to give birth, and Jia Geng, the ungrateful little bastard who only cares about whoever feeds her, was about to be born! However, Jia Zhang was really stingy. It wouldn't cost much to go to the hospital, but she actually let Qin Huairu give birth at home. He Pingan complained when he heard He Yushui's voice.

"Uncle, it's so noisy." He Yushui's voice came from the other small bed

"It's okay, Yu Shui, go back to sleep. I'll go criticize them later." He Ping'an had no choice but to walk to He Yu Shui's bedside to comfort her.

"Master, my wife is about to give birth!" Jia Dongxu had no experience and didn't know what to do. Seeing his mother just shouting nonsense, he could only ask Yi Zhonghai for help.

"What's wrong, Dongxu?" As the only candidate for retirement care, Yi Zhonghai was very concerned. When he heard Jia Dongxu knocking on the door, he opened the door without even putting on his coat.

"Master, my wife is about to give birth!" Jia Dongxu said anxiously

"Cuihua, get up quickly. Dongxu's wife is about to give birth. Go and help her." Yi Zhonghai hurried back to the house to wake up his wife.

"Well, wait, I'll go right away." Zhang Cuihua also knew her family's situation and was quite concerned about the Jia family. When she heard Yi Zhonghai's words, she quickly got dressed and got up.

"Dongxu, why are you still standing here? Your master's wife can't do it alone. Go find a midwife. And ask your mother to wake up the second and third aunts." Yi Zhonghai saw Jia Dongxu still standing at the door in a daze and hurriedly gave orders.

"I understand, Master." After hearing this, Jia Dongxu hurried home.

At this time, Jia Zhang, as a woman who had given birth to a child, had experience in childbirth, but she seemed to have forgotten what she should do. She still just stood at the door of her house and shouted.

In fact, as someone who has experienced this, Jia Zhang certainly knows what to do now, but the situation of the Jia family is not the same as before. Ever since Yi Zhonghai lost power, his family has also been in bad luck, and not many people in the courtyard are willing to care about her family.

She was not worried that no one would take care of it, but she just wanted to take this opportunity to see if she could call out the He family to help. Then she could tell them that the He family forgave her and that they had already offered their help without her noticing that her family was in trouble. In this way, her son Jia Dongxu would no longer be targeted by the people in the factory.

As for the delay and how much suffering Qin Huairu would suffer, this was no longer within Jia Zhang's consideration. After all, Qin Huairu was a rural girl, and it was a blessing for her son to marry her into the city.

Of course, she didn't ignore Qin Huairu, to be more precise, she ignored the child in Qin Huairu's belly. After all, Qin Huairu was pregnant with her Jia family's grandson. In fact, she had the confidence to do so, and that was Yi Zhonghai. She knew very well that according to the current situation, Yi Zhonghai could only rely on Jia Dongxu in this life, so Yi Zhonghai would definitely not let go at this time.

Sure enough, not long after his son went to the backyard, he heard Yi Zhonghai's voice.

"Mom, I'll go call the midwife, and you go get the second and third aunts to help!" Jia Dongxu came back from the backyard, gave an instruction to Jia Zhang, and ran out of the yard.

"Yes, my daughter-in-law, hold on a little while. I'll go get help." Seeing that her son had returned but no one from the He family had come out, Jia Zhang could only run to get help. Her beloved grandson must not get into trouble. However, she pouted when she looked at the He family. She didn't know that He Ping'an saw her actions clearly.

After He Pingan coaxed He Yushui back to sleep, he stood outside the window and observed Jia Zhangshi. Although he didn't know what Jia Zhangshi was planning, he had a brain! As an experienced person, how could Jia Zhangshi not know what to do? Even Jia Dongxu, who was inexperienced, knew to call for help, so how could Jia Zhangshi just yell in the yard?

Hearing Qin Huairu's cry, He Ping'an felt a flash of pity in his heart: Qin Huairu, I'm not cold-blooded. I know it's not easy for women to give birth, especially in this era. But Jia Zhang, as a mother-in-law, doesn't care about the life and death of you and your child. What can I do as an outsider? Besides, Yi Zhonghai will help you.

Facts proved that He Ping'an's suspicion was correct. When he saw Jia Zhang pouted at his family, he was sure that Jia Zhang wanted to plot against the He family. He Ping'an was very dissatisfied with Jia Zhang at this time: first, because she took advantage of his family when he and his elder brother were not at home, and second, she actually took Qin Huairu's life to plot against him.

"Jia Zhang! Jia Zhang! I was a little hesitant at first, but you walked into the trap yourself, so you can't blame me!" He Ping'an muttered to himself as he watched Jia Zhang's departing back.

"Uncle, help! My daughter-in-law is about to give birth!" Jia Zhang knocked on Yan Bugui's door and shouted.

"Wait, I get it. Go find Liu Haizhong first, I'll be there soon. Also, I'm not the Third Uncle anymore, don't hurt me!" Yan Bugui said unhappily.

After hearing this, Jia Zhang said nothing more and went to knock on Liu Haizhong's door again.

In fact, the Yan family had already woken up when Jia Zhang was shouting in the yard.

"The Jia family's daughter-in-law is about to give birth. Do you want me to help?" Yang Ruihua looked at Yan Bugui and asked

"Of course I will help, but not now. Get up and get ready first, and wait for someone to come look for you later." Yan Bugui said

"Why?" Yang Ruihua was puzzled.

"Okay, get ready first!" Yan Bugui did not answer his wife's words, but directly ordered

Jia Zhang came to Liu Haizhong's house again. Unlike Yan Bugui, who knew that Jia Zhang's shouting in the yard was a plot and did nothing, Liu Haizhong simply didn't want to care. After Jia Zhang knocked on the door, he angrily asked his wife for help.

"Sister-in-law of the Jia family, how is Dongxu's wife?" As a woman, Zhang Cuihua felt sorry for Qin Huairu. She looked at Jia Zhang who had left the Liu family and asked immediately.

"I don't know," Jia Zhang said unhappily, and at the same time sneered in her heart: You just came here after calling both of your own families, and you still want my Dongxu to take care of you in your old age? You're dreaming!

"Okay, Dongxu's wife is the most important, you go check the situation first." Yi Zhonghai knew the seriousness of the situation and pulled his wife to order.

Zhang Cuihua felt a little short of breath when she thought about her family's situation. She just looked at Jia Zhang hatefully and left quickly without saying a word.

"Sister-in-law of the Jia family, I, Yi Zhonghai, am down and out, but I have skills. At worst, I can leave the steel mill, leave Beijing, and stay away from He Ping'an. I don't believe it will be worse than it is now. Don't forget, although I have stains on me, my file is clean. But what about the Jia family? What can Dongxu do after I leave? What will become of you? Have you ever thought about it?" Yi Zhonghai threatened Jia Zhang with a gloomy face when he saw his wife leaving

"Old Yi, I..." Jia Zhang was frightened by Yi Zhonghai's words and stammered without saying a word.

"Take care of yourself" Yi Zhonghai saw Jia Zhang's expression and left immediately

"Huairu, relax, it's okay, the midwife will be here soon." Zhang Cuihua looked at Qin Huairu, whose face was pale, and comforted her.

"Auntie, I..." Qin Huairu was interrupted just as she was about to speak

"Huai Ru, don't talk. Save your energy for having the baby." Zhang Cuihua said

After a while, Yan Bugui's wife and Liu Haizhong's wife also came in, comforted Qin Huairu with a few words, and started to prepare things.

"Old Yi, if you can't get well, let's go to the hospital!" Zhang Cuihua said to Yi Zhonghai while boiling water.

"Why go to the hospital? Every daughter-in-law gives birth like this. A country girl is not that precious!" When Jia Zhang heard that they were going to the hospital, she thought that the Yi family had no money now, and if they went to the hospital they would have to pay for it themselves. She ignored Yi Zhonghai's warning and refused loudly.

Qin Huairu in the room heard what Jia Zhang said and kept Zhang Cuihua's instructions in mind. She didn't say anything, but tears kept dripping from the corners of her eyes, making people feel her sadness.

Liu Haizhong's wife didn't want to come in the first place, but when she heard Jia Zhang still yelling outside, she just walked out.

"Ms. Jia Zhang, your daughter-in-law is giving birth, everyone is busy, what are you doing, what nonsense are you talking about!"

When Jia Zhang saw Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui looking at her faces, she knew that she had angered everyone and could only go back into the house in shame.

Fortunately, Jia Dongxu came with the midwife soon, and the three of them breathed a sigh of relief. Soon after the midwife went in, Qin Huairu's shrill wail was heard from the Jia family. Jia Dongxu, who was waiting outside the door, turned around anxiously when he heard the sound.

After waiting for a while and seeing that nothing happened, Yan Bugui and Liu Haizhong looked at each other and said to Jia Dongxu

"Dongxu has something to talk about, so we'll go back first!"

Then the two of them turned and left without paying any attention to Yi Zhonghai.

Yi Zhonghai watched the two people leave with mixed feelings. If it were in the past, Jia Zhangshi wouldn't have to call them. The people in the courtyard would have automatically come forward to help when they heard Jia Zhangshi's call. The reason why he asked Jia Zhangshi to knock on the door was because he was afraid that no one would answer his call for help, which would be embarrassing.

Thinking of this, Yi Zhonghai felt filled with resentment, but thinking of He Ping'an, he could only sigh helplessly and comfort Jia Dongxu beside him.

He Ping'an of the He family listened to Qin Huairu's shrill screams, afraid that her screams would scare He Yushui, so he could only half-squat beside He Yushui's bed and cover her ears. Feeling his legs tingling, his resentment towards Jia Zhang deepened. It was unknown how long it had been before He Ping'an heard the cry of "It's born" and turned back to bed to rest.

"It's born! It's a boy." When Jia Zhang, who was sitting on a chair to rest, heard that it was a boy, she immediately took the child from the midwife and smiled happily.

Then everyone congratulated Jia Zhang and packed up their things and left. Only the midwife looked at Jia Zhang without saying a word.

"Dongxu, quickly take out the red envelope you prepared for the midwife so that she can go back to rest earlier~" When Yi Zhonghai entered the room and saw this situation, he knew that Jia Zhang was going to cause trouble, so he hurriedly reminded Jia Dongxu.

Jia Dongxu understood what the master said, and looked at his mother helplessly, took out the money from his pocket and handed it to the midwife. The midwife took the money and left without saying anything.

"Sister-in-law of the Jia family, it seems that you have not remembered what I said just now. People cannot only think about themselves, but also think about their children and grandchildren. They cannot do things that hurt their children and grandchildren just for their own momentary pleasure, right?" Yi Zhonghai emphasized the word "children and grandchildren".

"The child was born by my daughter-in-law. Not only did she not help, she also delayed Qin Huairu's birth for so long. Why do you want money?" It must be said that Yi Zhonghai really understood Jia Zhangshi. She really didn't want to give money. Jia Zhangshi remembered what Yi Zhonghai said in the backyard just now and didn't dare to refute it. She could only mutter in a low voice.

"Master, you are the only one with the highest cultural level here. Can you give us a name?" Jia Dongxu saw that there was some awkwardness between his master and his mother, so he spoke to ease the situation.

"Let's use the word 'Geng'! It means perseverance!" Yi Zhonghai was very pleased to hear Jia Dongxu's words and said the name he had prepared long ago.

At first, Jia Zhang was a little unhappy when she saw that her son wanted Yi Zhonghai to name his grandson, but when she heard the name Yi Zhonghai gave, she thought it sounded nice.

"My grandson will be called Jia Geng from now on. His nickname will be Bang Geng," Jia Zhang said hurriedly, fearing that Yi Zhonghai would take his nickname as well.

Yi Zhonghai didn't care about this. Seeing that it was getting late, he said a few words of congratulations and left!

The entire courtyard fell into silence as Qin Huairu gave birth to a boy.
