Chapter 613: Chapter 582: Who Likes, is about to Give Birth_1

Time flew, and by early summer, it had arrived.

The weather was getting hot, and He Tiantian’s due date was just half a month away.

Given that Wang Shuping had previously given birth prematurely, Huo Yingjie had been particularly careful these past few days, following He Tiantian everywhere she went.

Wham, wham, wham...

After several deafening claps of thunder, the rain poured down in sheets.

He Tiantian watched from the window as the raindrops hit the ground and splashed up, creating small blooms of water.

For some reason, she felt an urge to go out and stand in the rain; it would surely be refreshing.

But after touching her swollen belly, she decided against it.

A pregnant woman standing in the rain would certainly be considered a madwoman.

Huo Yingjie brought in the food and set an umbrella aside, saying, "Tiantian, it’s time to eat."

He Tiantian had not felt hungry a moment ago, but now that she smelled the food, her stomach started to growl.

The two of them ate and joked together.

"Brother Yingjie, look at the rain outside, how clear it is," said He Tiantian, finishing her meal and looking toward the window.

Huo Yingjie glanced outside, puzzled, but whatever a pregnant woman says is right, so he nodded and said, "Yes, it is clear. Qijia Village is surrounded by forests and has good air."

"Yes, I can’t wait to give birth and take a nice, hearty bath," He Tiantian said enviously. With her belly getting in the way, bathing or anything else would require Huo Yingjie’s help.

He had seen everything, the good and the bad.

It left He Tiantian somewhat speechless.

But there was nothing that could be done; she was pregnant and her belly was too big, making it impossible for her to do certain things herself.

Huo Yingjie helped He Tiantian walk around the house, hoping that staying active would help with an easier childbirth.

"Tiantian, how about we go to Huai City?" Huo Yingjie suggested, "I’m a little worried..."

"There are plenty of twins born in the village, and all are fine. I’ll be fine too," said He Tiantian. "Besides, I have the medicine pills you gave me; I’m sure I can give birth smoothly."

Since Wang Shuilian wasn’t going to cause trouble, He Tiantian wasn’t worried.

Huo Yingjie nodded and agreed, "Alright then!"

After he spoke, he gave He Tiantian another transparent pill to strengthen her body.

As soon as she swallowed it, the two little ones in her belly got excited, moving their hands and feet inside her as if they were fighting.

The children were brisk, causing He Tiantian great discomfort.

"Ouch, ouch!" He Tiantian was in so much pain she couldn’t straighten her back and had to sit down, "These two little rascals are too mischievous!"

Huo Yingjie had not expected the day’s pill to have such a strong effect.

Just then, He Tiantian felt a twinge of pain in her belly and a sensation in her lower body.

"Brother Yingjie, I think it’s time," He Tiantian said in pain, taking deep breaths—giving birth for the first time really hurt like hell!

Huo Yingjie quickly took a red pill from the cabinet and said, "Quickly eat this; it should help lessen the pain."

He Tiantian couldn’t care less at this point and swallowed the pill.

"Mom, Tiantian is going into labor." Huo Yingjie shouted outside, "Tiantian, hold on, I’ll go get the doctor."

After taking the pill, He Tiantian felt less pain and her body filled with strength.

In the kitchen, Wang Shuping didn’t hear the shout, but it was He Jingyu, who was in the room taking care of He Doudou, who heard and quickly took He Doudou to Third Grandma Qi, called his wife, and they both came in.

Seeing her daughter sweating profusely, Wang Shuping knew she was about to give birth.

"Old He, go boil some hot water; Yingjie, you go fetch Doctor Wang," Wang Shuping instructed, "Split up and act fast!"

Wang Shuping found the package her daughter had prepared for childbirth, which included soft blankets, baby bottles, diapers, little clothes, and so on, with two of everything.

"Tiantian, don’t be afraid, giving birth isn’t as terrible as it seems," Wang Shuping said. "You saw how I delivered your brother. Be strong for yourself, and you’ll be able to give birth soon."

He Tiantian took a few deep breaths and nodded, "Mhm, with Dad, Mom, and Brother Yingjie by my side, I’m not afraid."

"Don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid!" Wang Shuping comforted.

Third Grandma Qi came in with an umbrella and, seeing that He Tiantian’s complexion was still good, felt a bit relieved. She said to Wang Shuping, "Shuping, it’s raining outside, hurry to the kitchen and spread some more straw under the thatch, lay out the clean mats the family had prepared earlier on top. I will help Tiantian over there in a minute."

If the baby was born in the room, it wasn’t impossible, but it would dirty the house and cause poor air circulation.

Therefore, in Qijia Village, women gave birth in the kitchen, on top of straw and mats and some clean, old blankets and quilts.

"Yes, yes, I almost forgot this important matter," Wang Shuping said. "Stepmother, can you watch Tiantian for me? I’ll take care of it right now."

With Third Grandma Qi there, He Tiantian felt reassured.

It took several trips, but Wang Shuping quickly got everything ready.

He Tiantian stood up, and Wang Shuping, with He Jingyu holding the umbrella, supported her daughter to the temporary birthing bed prepared next to the kitchen.

Because of the rain, Yingjie couldn’t ride a bike, so wearing a raincoat, he went to Hujia Village to find Wang Shuilian.

But coincidentally, Wang Shuilian wasn’t home; she had gone to the county to visit relatives.

Huo Yingjie was in a great hurry and couldn’t find a doctor on such short notice, so he had to rush back.

With her there, Tiantian wouldn’t be in danger for her life.

The road was muddy, and Huo Yingjie didn’t care if others noticed him using some abilities different from ordinary people. In an instant, he teleported back to Qijia Village.

"Wang Shuilian is not home, what should we do now?" Huo Yingjie had just finished speaking when he heard the powerful cry of a baby.

He Jingyu was stunned, "That was quick, she’s given birth already?"

Third Grandma Qi, unable to kneel, chose to sit on the heap of straw and said, "There’s no time, and we can’t send her to the hospital now. She’s already given birth to one, the next one should be easy."

Wang Shuping was very nervous, her face turning a bit pale, but there was nothing she could do.

It was pouring rain outside, indeed making it impossible to take her to the county.

"Should I go find Sister Zhao?" Wang Shuping asked. Zhao Dajiao’s sister was a midwife, so perhaps she knew a bit as well.

"Never mind, Da Jiao doesn’t know these things," Third Grandma Qi said. "Tiantian, don’t be afraid! Grandma will deliver for you."

Wang Shuping asked anxiously, "Stepmother, have you delivered a baby before?"

"I’ve delivered once. It was when Shuming’s Mother was pregnant with Shuming. She was about to give birth when there was no one at home. I heard her cries for help, went to see, and found out she was having a premature delivery. Back then, everyone in the village had gone to watch the opera, and there were hardly any people around. I had no choice but to deliver. Fortunately, Shuming was also lucky and was born without complications," Third Grandma Qi urgently explained. "Tiantian, don’t worry, push hard. Having delivered one, it should be a bit easier now."

He Tiantian nodded. Now she could only rely on herself. She felt strength in her body and prayed to the heavens for help, hoping that she could give birth smoothly.
