Chapter 675: Giving Birth to a Daughter
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Madam Liu was helping clean up. Madam Li came over with two big roosters and greeted Madam Liu with a smile, “In-law, you’re also here. These are two big roosters. Chu Yan’s father asked me to bring them over. He said that he would come to see his granddaughter when the child is one month old.”
...Madam Liu smiled and said, “Thank you.”
Madam Li said with a sigh, “it would be better if it were a boy.”
Madam Liu frowned. “Girls and boys are all the same.”
Madam Li smiled and said, “You are right. Anyway, Sanniang is still young. When she recovers, she can have another child.”
Madam Liu felt a little uncomfortable when she heard that. Many families preferred boys over girls, and women who couldn’t give birth to a boy were treated badly. Although Madam Li was only a stepmother, she was still Sanniang’s mother-in-law in name.
Just as Madam Liu was feeling annoyed, Chu Yan came out of the kitchen with a kitchen knife in his hand. Madam Liu forced a smile and said, “Yan, these are two big roosters sent by your father to nourish Sanniang’s body.”
When Madam Li saw Chu Yan, her expression changed. Seeing Chu Yan walking over with a knife, she immediately had the urge to escape.
Chu Yan picked up the rooster and stabbed it on the spot. The rooster’s neck rolled down and its body twitched.
Madam Li was shocked and screamed, “Ah—”
What a lunatic.
Chu Yan said calmly, “I’ll go and make chicken soup.”
He held the chicken and turned to enter the kitchen.
Madam Liu slowly came back to her senses.
Madam Li’s face was already pale. She said with a forced smile, “In-law, I’ll go back first. We’ll come to see Sanniang when she’s better.”
Madam Liu wanted to ask her to stay. “Leave after dinner.”
Madam Li waved her hand. “No, no. I still have something to do at home.”
Madam Li quickly left. If not for the fact that she was asked to send the roosters, she would not have come.
Madam Liu went to the kitchen to see if there was anything she could help with.
Chu Yan was a very skilful cook. He had already plucked all the chicken feathers and a pot of chicken fungus soup was stewing in the pot.
There was a fragrance wafting out. Madam Liu went to take a look at the firewood. There was really nothing she could do to help, so she went out.
Thinking of how meticulous Chu Yan was, Madam Liu smiled. It was a blessing to have such a good son-in-law.
At night, Liu Sanniang woke up and changed her period pad. She felt energetic.
Chu Yan came in with a small bowl of rice, a bowl of chicken soup, and a small stack of vegetables. He went to get a small table and set it up for Liu Sanniang on the bed.
Liu Sanniang asked, “Where’s Xiang’er?”
Chu Yan picked up a piece of chicken for Liu Sanniang and said, “She is with Sister-in-law. There’s enough goat milk to drink.”
Liu Sanniang looked at his gentle and doting expression and couldn’t help but blush. Chu Yan treated her so well that he even fed her spoon by spoon.
After eating, Chu Yan looked at Liu Sanniang and said gently, “Are you full?”
Liu Sanniang nodded. “I’m full.”
Chu Yan took a handkerchief and gently wiped the corner of Liu Sanniang’s mouth.
He put the table and chairs back and left. Liu Sanniang burped with satisfaction.
Not long after, Chu Yan came in with a basin of hot water.
He wrung out a wet handkerchief and came over to wipe Liu Sanniang’s face.
Liu Sanniang took the handkerchief. “I’ll do it myself.”
Chu Yan looked at Liu Sanniang. “You just gave birth. Rest well. Let me do it.”
Liu Sanniang felt like she didn’t give birth at all. She did not feel any pain. Chu Yan did not need to take care of her like this at all.
Before Liu Sanniang could speak, Chu Yan said, “Be good.”
Liu Sanniang stopped talking.
Chu Yan wiped Liu Sanniang’s face and hands and began to wash her feet.
Liu Sanniang’s face was red. Chu Yan came back after cleaning up and took off his clothes to rest.
Liu Sanniang was a little puzzled. “The smell in this room…”
Because she was still bleeding, there was still the smell of blood. For some reason, Liu Sanniang did not want Chu Yan to smell it.
She remembered that he always said that she smelled good.
She didn’t want to ruin her image in Chu Yan’s mind. She had just given birth a few days ago and didn’t smell good. She was always sweating and on her period…
The more she thought about it, the more resistant Liu Sanniang became.
Chu Yan went straight to the bed and pressed down on Liu Sanniang.
Liu Sanniang was stunned…
Chu Yan leaned down and kissed her gently. His gentleness made Liu Sanniang forget to think. She blushed.
After Chu Yan removed his lips from hers, she no longer remembered what she wanted to say.
Chu Yan hugged her and said softly, “I only smell the sweetness on your body.”
Liu Sanniang blushed and her heart beat faster. She had been married for two years and was no longer an inexperienced girl, but when she was with Chu Yan, her heart would still beat abnormally fast.
In the middle of the night, Liu Sanniang vaguely heard the sound of rain. It was cool and comfortable.
When she woke up again, the sky was already bright and Chu Yan had already gone out.
Liu Sanniang had nothing to do other than eating and sleeping. When she was free, Tang An and Ye Niuniu would come to chat with her to relieve her boredom.
Half a month later, many people came to see Liu Sanniang one after another.
Liu Hui, Liu Zhi’er, and Liu Ju came together.
Liu Zhi’er and Liu Hui were also pregnant. They were six months pregnant, and Liu Ju had already given birth to a son. They chatted and laughed as they entered the house.
“Sanniang, congratulations. Your daughter is so beautiful and obedient. She’s not crying at all,” Liu Zhi’er said as soon as she entered the house..
