Reborn in the Eighties as a Housewife with a Space

Chapter 1451: Chapter 1445: Labor Pains_1 Chapter 1451: Chapter 1445: Labor Pains_1 “Jing Xin, how many days can you stay this time?” After finishing their meal, Chu Molin and the others moved to the courtyard to have tea. It was left to the four bodyguards to clean up, which seemed to be an unspoken rule in their house. After every meal, everyone would leave without saying anything, and only the four of them would stay to clean up. To quote Qin Xue, the cook doesn’t wash dishes, and the one who washes dishes doesn’t cook.

“Originally, I asked for a vacation for a week, but now that my hand is injured, I need to delay some more time. I’m not sure what to tell the department leader,” Jing Xin said. He wasn’t sure if he would face any penalties for getting injured while not on duty.

“You can’t work like this anyway, you need to rest for sure,” Chu Molin said, looking at Jing Xin’s immobilized hand. Normally, it takes a month to heal, but they often return to work before it is fully healed, that’s why many of them have hidden injuries. These weren’t a problem when they were young, but as they age, these hidden injuries begin to emerge.

Like Ye Xiao, when he was young, he could sleep in the snow and cross frozen rivers, but now that he’s older, he suffers from chronic cold leg.

After treatment from Qin Xue and Nangong Beiying, his leg has improved a lot. Although it was not completely cured, it was under control and the pain was less severe.

Each time Ye Xiao saw them, he would gratefully smile and thank them. If it weren’t for them, he would not have been able to sleep peacefully.

Qin Xue was trying to find a better way to remove the cold energy from the leg. However, other than using moxibustion, there was no other method. Even Qin Xue’s spiritual spring water had a limited effect. The only thing to do was slowly adjust the body, getting totally cured in one go was difficult.

“Xiu, are you okay? Why are you sweating so much?” Qin Xue was the first to notice something was off with Fang Xiu.

“She is going to give birth,” Nangong Beiying said, looking at Fang Xiu after hearing Qin Xue’s words.

“Yes, I’m going into labor,” Fang Xiu agreed. She hadn’t felt any pain just moments ago, but after finishing her meal and sitting down, she started experiencing waves of pain.

“We should go to the hospital. We don’t have the right conditions here at home,” Qin Xue suggested. As a doctor, she believed in giving birth at a hospital, where there are no risks of infection, and a cesarean section can be done if there’s any sign of dystocia, making it safer for both the mother and child. This is why in modern times, home births are not recommended, and hospital births are the norm.

“Okay,” Fang Xiu agreed. She had prepared the things she would need for the hospital in advance, so they just needed to pick up the bags and leave.

“What happened?” Chu Molin asked, noticing Qin Xue’s worried expression. Everything was fine just a moment ago.

“Xiu is going into labor,” Qin Xue said without preamble, tossing the words out before heading to Fang Xiu’s room to grab the necessary items.

“What? She’s going into labor?” Jing Xin was so shocked he almost fell off his chair. His earlier composure was gone and he looked a bit flustered.

“Go with your wife. She needs you right now, Taotao and I will look after your things,” Chu Molin said. He had accompanied his own wife during childbirth, so he understood what women needed most at this time.

“Thank you, boss,” Jing Xin said sincerely, grateful for all the help the couple had given to his family.

“There’s no need to thank us, we’re all brothers. And Xiao Qi is my childhood friend, please don’t give him a hard time,” Chu Molin requested, speaking up for Xiao Qi, who he knew wouldn’t be able to handle it on his own.

“All right, I’ll give you face on this,” Jing Xin agreed. He was now certain that Nangong Beiying was Chu Molin’s sister, or the man wouldn’t have made the request.

“Thank you,” Chu Molin said, his brotherly bond with Xiao Qi running deep. Plus, he knew the outcome of this matter was what Qin Xue wanted to see, so he didn’t mind sticking his neck out for Xiao Qi.
