Chapter 594: Really Giving Birth

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Liu Guixia and Xue Erfu didn’t go to the town today because Yu Hongyan had said that her stomach hurt a little last night, but it only hurt for a short while.

Xue Erfu had called a few aunts who were good at giving birth in the village. They said that she was probably about to give birth, but it might not be so soon. Anyway, when it hurt again, it was obvious that she was about to give birth, and he would call them immediately.

Xue Erfu and Liu Guixia were naturally worried, so they didn’t go to town to set up any stalls. Xue Dafu went to do the stall work, so Xue Sifu naturally went to town as well. He brought people to repair the shop that used to be an inn that his family had bought. It just so happened that Xue Dafu wanted to take a look at the shop today. He had long wanted to see the shop but was busy.

Li Hehua was also at home now. She was squatting next to Liu Guixia and helping her.

She was also afraid that if Yu Hongyan really gave birth, the family would need more manpower and Liu Guixia would definitely be too busy to manage the household. So, she tried her best not to go anywhere else.

On the other hand, Xue Yifu was not at home because there was a lot of cotton that had bloomed in the field and needed to be picked. Li Hehua and the others were not in a good position to go to the field now as they were afraid that Yu Hongyan was about to give birth. Jiang Yue and Xue Yan were not as tall as the cotton plants, so they could not pick many of them. Therefore, he was the only one left that had to go.

It had actually been a while since they had been harvesting cotton. Every time the cotton blooms quite a bit, they would go and harvest it. It was her eldest uncle’s family who helped them harvest it because they were still making ice at that time and were busy. They wanted to hire someone, but her eldest uncle’s family wouldn’t let them. He said that he was free and insisted on helping them harvest the cotton.

The sesame seeds in their family’s acre of land were also harvested by their uncle’s family back then.

His eldest uncle’s family was very busy now. The weather wasn’t hot anymore. Previously, his family used to extract rapeseed oil. Now, his family’s oil mill could extract sesame oil and soybean oil, which were all newly harvested this year.

Some families had already started digging for peanuts, so they would probably sell them to his oil mill. By then, his family would extract peanut oil to make ends meet.

His had also hired a few young and strong men to extract oil in the oil mill as they needed more manpower to manage the business.

Xue Dabao and Xue Xiaobao had already been sent to the town to study two days ago. They were in the same private school as Xue Gouzi, and it had caused quite a stir in the village at that time.

Liu Guixia finished marinating the salted duck egg and wiped her hands dry. She was about to move the pot inside when Xue Erfu suddenly rushed out, helpless. “Mother! Mother! Hongyan’s stomach is hurting again. Should I go and ask Xiulan and the others to come?”

Xiulan and the others were the aunties in the village who could help with the childbirth.

“Ah? Let me take a look.” Liu Guixia was a little fl.u.s.tered by the sudden information. She quickly went into the room to check on Yu Hongyan.

Seeing that Yu Hongyan was in so much pain that she was probably really about to give birth, Liu Guixia said, “Erfu, quickly go and call your Xiulan and the others over. Tell them that Hong Yan is really going to give birth!” “Okay!” Xue Erfu left immediately, still fl.u.s.tered.

“Hongyan, just bear with it for a while longer. It’ll be all over once you give birth.” Liu Guixia was anxiously trying to comfort Yu Hongyan. Then, she suddenly remembered something and shouted, “Xue Yan, take Jiang Yue out.

Don’t stay at home today.”

When she really gave birth, it would be even more painful, and Yu Hongyan would definitely scream.

The sound of a woman giving birth would make even adults shiver, let alone children. It would not be good if the two children were frightened by the noise.

Li Hehua had already started to boil water. The two pots of water were ready for use.

As soon as the stove was on, Li Hehua also got up to chase away Jiang Yue and Xue Yan, afraid that the two children would be traumatized by the scene..
