From Folly to Fortune：I Rewrite My Life After Rebirth!

Chapter 553: Chapter 549 Good People Are Rewarded (Four Updates)

”Xiuxiu, don’t be nervous, take deep breaths, take deep breaths, think about San Dan...”

Mu Shuangshuang tried to calm Xiuxiu.

But childbirth is never an easy thing.

One after another, piercing screams sounded...

As neighbors, Wang Tiejiang and his wife naturally heard it.

”Wife, didn’t you help our niece deliver her baby before? It looks like the Ge family’s daughter-in-law is about to give birth, we should hurry over and help.”

”Alright then, you wait outside, don’t go in, it’s hard to say what’s going on in the backyard.”

Mrs. Zhou, who was resting on the bed, got dressed and hurried to the Ge Family’s house.

In the Ge Family’s yard, it was chaos at the moment, big chickens flapping their wings frantically, dust swirling up from the ground, and little chicks running around aimlessly.

”Old man, help Old Ge’s house watch the chickens, I’m going inside to take a look.”

Mrs. Zhou went inside the house and began calling out.

After all, nobody was in the backyard at the moment, if she didn’t make a sound, she could be mistaken for a thief.

Mu Shuangshuang tried to comfort Xiuxiu several times, although it didn’t alleviate her pain, at least the screaming became a little quieter.

”Miss Shuangshuang, leave this to me, go prepare scissors and hot water for me.” Mrs. Zhou entered Xiuxiu’s room and said to Mu Shuangshuang who was standing at the Kang edge.

Mu Shuangshuang glanced over, seeing Mrs. Zhou, she felt suddenly at ease.

She found scissors in Xiuxiu’s room and went to the kitchen to boil water. In the kitchen, she noticed a sack of spirits that Ge Sandan drank at noon; Mu Shuangshuang decided to take it to Mrs. Zhou for sterilizing hands and scissors when cutting the umbilical cord later.

Since it was the room of a pregnant woman, Mu Shuangshuang was afraid of infecting her, so once she went in, she didn’t go back in.

The first pot of hot water was ready, Mu Shuangshuang carried it outside the room and handed it to Mrs. Zhou.

”San Dan... San Dan...” Inside the room, Xiuxiu started calling for her husband.

Mrs. Zhou, considering the vulnerability of women during childbirth, said to Mu Shuangshuang, ”Miss Shuangshuang, go to the front yard and find my husband, let him call for help. A woman giving birth should have her man by her side; they should also witness the pain women endure.”

”I got it, I’ll go call!” Mu Shuangshuang replied.

In the front yard, Wang Tiejiang sorted out Old Ge’s chickens and waited for news; suddenly, Mu Shuangshuang came out of the house.

”Mr. Wang, could you please go out to the field and call Brother Sandan, his wife is about to give birth, they are in...”

”Alright!”

Previously, the Wang family couple had been observing the Ge Family, knowing that Ge Sandan was not home.

During childbirth, a woman needs someone by her side the most, if her own man isn’t there, it’s not so easy to give birth.

Wang Tiejiang ran desperately to the field.

At that moment, Mu Shuangshuang was suddenly a bit grateful, grateful that she let the Wang couple see Little Zhi and Yuanbao in the morning; indeed good people get good returns, letting them help Xiuxiu.

Back in the backyard, Mu Shuangshuang began boiling the second pot of water.

By the time the third pot of hot water was ready, Ge Sandan rushed into the backyard.

Whether he ran too fast and fell, Ge Sandan’s face was covered in mud, his face full of anxious expression.

The hairband used to tie his hair had long since fallen off, and his jet-black hair was messily disheveled.

He kept shivering, both from nervousness and fear.

Today, despite his lame leg, Ge Sandan’s running speed exceeded that of normal people Lu Yuanfeng and Mu Dalang, perhaps this is the power of a child and a wife.

”Shuangshuang, Xiuxiu is inside, I need to go in.”

The man finished speaking and was about to rush inside but was stopped by Mu Shuangshuang.

”You need to wash up, you’re filthy, it wouldn’t be good if you infected the pregnant woman.”

Ge Sandan didn’t know what infection meant, but upon hearing it was not good for the pregnant woman, he hurried to the kitchen to fetch water to wash, shouting towards the house while fetching water.

”Xiuxiu, don’t be afraid, I’m here, for our child, you must be strong!”

Inside, hearing Ge Sandan’s words, Xiuxiu burst into tears.

Women’s lives, inherently full of suffering.

Born, they are judged for their gender.

From a young age, they lack a voice, obey their fathers before marriage, obey their husbands after marriage, husband dies they obey their sons, still need to manage household affairs, take care of men, give birth to children, you could say women are destined to be busy from the day they are born.

But if one can find a man who treats her well, not asking for wealth, at least someone who can empathize with her in everything.

Understand her, embrace her.

Fortunately, Xiuxiu felt she had all these, despite having a mother-in-law longing for grandsons, she also had someone who treated her well, willing to reason with her mother for her.

”Xiuxiu, let’s muster some strength, the amniotic fluid has broken, the baby seems close...”

Mrs. Zhou kept observing Xiuxiu, seeing her a bit distracted, couldn’t help but prompt Xiuxiu.

Ge Sandan, after cleaning up, rushed inside.

Grabbing Xiuxiu’s hand and comforting her, ”Xiuxiu, don’t be afraid, no matter what happens, I’m here, don’t mind my mother, whether our child is a boy or girl, it’s ours...”

As Xiuxiu gave birth, Ge Sandan kept murmuring comforting words beside her.

By dusk, the child was finally born.

It was a girl.

Though she wasn’t a grandson, Ge Sandan loved her dearly, looking at the child and his wife, he didn’t want to blink.

Aunt Ge had invited a midwife from another village, upon hearing the delivery was done, and that it was a girl, she fainted on the spot.

Mu Shuangshuang went to pinch her philtrum and fed her some ginger slices, only then did she wake up.

Upon waking up, tears started streaming down.

”How come it’s a girl! I spent quite a bit of money going to the temple to ask, they said it was a son...”

The matter was a huge blow to Aunt Ge.

These years raising a son as a widow, the son went to the army for several years, every day fearing, finally the son had a wife, she longed for a grandson, but when he came out, he wasn’t a grandson, she instantly felt the world turned dark.

The previous comforting words for her and her son, turned into mockery.

Mu Shuangshuang didn’t know how to respond.

This matter, only oneself knows.

Aunt Ge is not bad, but she favors sons over daughters, like some people, genuinely kind-hearted, but hold some extremely radical views.

”Aunt, you should rest first, let’s talk about this after you’ve slept, alright?”

As Mu Shuangshuang spoke, she signaled to Lu Yuanfeng and Mu Dalang.

The two came over knowingly and supported Aunt Ge.

Aunt Ge, now limp like mud, was helped into the room.

But even lying on the Kang, she stared wide-eyed at the ceiling beam.

Lu Yuanfeng and Mu Dalang sighed repeatedly, seeing such a cheerful person struggle over such a trivial issue.

”Shuangshuang, what about Aunt Ge?” Lu Yuanfeng asked.

”This matter, you don’t worry about it, she needs to come to terms with it herself!”
