Chapter 1409: Chapter 1409: Beaten

"What? Hire a midwife?"

Su Yunjin looked at Gu Ya with a surprised expression, "Husband, the child isn’t due until the end of the year! Isn’t it a bit too early to hire a midwife now?"

Currently, the child in Su Yunjin’s belly is over six months along, and there are still more than two months until the birth. Other people usually hire a midwife close to the delivery. She still has more than two months before giving birth, so why is Gu Ya hiring a midwife now?

Su Yunjin thinks it’s too early.

Gu Ya doesn’t think so.

"Yunjin, hiring a midwife early means she can take care of you before the baby is born, and once we have her, you don’t have to worry about finding one in a hurry, no matter when the baby decides to come."

If a midwife isn’t found in time, it could cause additional suffering for the pregnant woman. Considering the hardships of pregnancy, Gu Ya naturally doesn’t want his wife to suffer any more during childbirth.

Though Gu Ya’s reasoning makes sense, Su Yunjin still disagrees with hiring a midwife so early, "Husband, pregnancy and childbirth take about ten months. The child in my belly is just over six months along, the birth is still two months away. It really is too early to look for a midwife now."

Gu Ya doesn’t think it’s premature.

"Yunjin, finding a good midwife requires some investigation to determine who has the best delivery skills. I will go to Yangcheng to inquire and find the suitable one, and once we decide on one, I will bring her back one month before you are due to give birth, so she can stay at our home and take care of you and wait for the baby to arrive."

The midwives from Yangcheng are better than those from the town. To find the best midwife from Yangcheng, Gu Ya himself must go and investigate. It’s crucial to establish this beforehand to avoid a last-minute scramble. Looking for a midwife in haste might not yield someone with the greatest experience and medical expertise.

Hearing Gu Ya explain this, Su Yunjin couldn’t help but be amazed; she hadn’t expected Gu Ya to plan the midwife hiring so meticulously, making preparations for her childbirth so early.

Looking at Gu Ya, Su Yunjin felt touched, which was undeniable. She stepped forward and hugged him, then nestled into Gu Ya’s arms as he lovingly embraced her.

His tone was consistently gentle and indulgent.

"Becoming clingy again?" The pregnant wife was becoming increasingly affectionate towards him. Of course, Gu Ya enjoyed her affectionate gestures.

Su Yunjin clung to Gu Ya’s neck, looking at him with a smile, "Husband, I’ll leave the matter of hiring the midwife to you, just do as you see fit."

Gu Ya watched his beloved wife and nodded.

"Yunjin, after I resolve the case at the Governor’s Office, I’ll go to Yangcheng to find a midwife for you." This trip might take approximately three to four days.

Gu Ya added: "Yunjin, while I’m away at Yangcheng finding a midwife, remember to take good care of yourself here at home." The journey to Yangcheng is bumpy and strenuous, and it’s not advisable for a pregnant woman to accompany him.

For the sake of his wife and child’s wellbeing, it’s safer to have her stay at home. Gu Ya has already planned everything for hiring the midwife while considering his wife’s comfort. If his wife feels bored at home alone, perhaps she could stay with Su Ningxiu and Wang Meng for a few days.

Leaving his beloved wife in the care of Su Ningxiu and Wang Meng, Gu Ya felt relieved. He trusted that his sister and brother-in-law would take good care of her.

The decision about the midwife was thus settled. At the dock, Su Muze lay injured, all the Silver he had on him when he left the Su family had been stolen.

What hurt Su Muze the most wasn’t the physical injuries but the indifferent look in Xiao Yu’s eyes as he left, clearly seeing him surrounded by the people from the gambling house.

Yet, Xiao Yu left mercilessly.

Leaving him alone to be beaten.
