Chapter 817: Tang An Giving Birth

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Liu Erlang was still immersed in the joy of his marriage and smiled every day. His eyes were shining and he seemed to have endless energy to work.

Tang An was about to give birth, so Liu Dalang did not go out and stayed at home to take care of her.

On the first of March, Tang An’s waters broke.

Madam Wei asked Liu Dalang to call the midwife over.

Madam Wei was experienced in delivering babies. She asked Liu Sanniang to boil water and cook something for Tang An to eat later.

As for Madam Wei, she helped Tang An walk around the courtyard. When Tang An was in pain, they would stop to rest.

Madam Wei held Tang An’s arm and said, “My good daughter-in-law, come, walk with me again.”

Tang An was covered in sweat, her clothes were wet, and there were tears on her face. The pain in her stomach came wave after wave. She could not describe this feeling, but it was so painful that she wanted to cry.

Madam Wei wiped Tang An’s sweat and asked, “How is it? Do you feel very heavy?”

“Don’t worry. The doctor said that your pregnancy will be smooth. You’ll be fine after the pain passes.”

Seeing that Tang An was crying, Madam Wei comforted her.

Tang An was grateful to Madam Wei. “Mother, thank you. I’m lucky to be able to join the Liu family.”

Madam Wei wiped Tang An’s sweat and said, “Don’t cry and talk too much. Save your strength for later.”

Tang An nodded. “Okay, I’ll definitely give birth to this child smoothly.”

This was her and Liu Dalang’s bloodline. Even if she had to risk her life, she had to give birth to this child.

Tang An had heard many stories about women having difficult labor, but she had never thought that she would be one of these women.

Tang An’s face was pale. She grabbed Madam Wei’s hand and said, “Mother, if, if I lose too much blood, abandon me and save the child instead.”

Madam Wei looked at Tang An solemnly. “An, I’ll be straightforward. To us, you’re far more important than the child. I’ll protect you, and so will Dalang. Don’t scare yourself.”

Madam Wei felt sad. If it were her, she would immediately flare up if anyone dared to abandon her and save the unborn child instead.

However, Tang An was willing to sacrifice herself.

Madam Wei sighed. “Sanniang cooked something for you. Eat something first. When the midwife comes, we’ll see when you can give birth.”

Liu Sanniang cooked a bowl of beef noodles. The beef was braised and cut into slices. It looked very appetizing.

When Tang An was not in pain, Madam Wei fed her.

After Tang An finished the noodles, the midwife arrived.

The midwife said that it was not the time yet. Madam Wei and Liu Dalang helped Tang An walk around.

When the pain became too much, it was already afternoon.

The midwife was very experienced. Under her guidance, a loud cry of a child came from inside.

The midwife skillfully cut the umbilical cord. She congratulated Madam Wei, “It’s a boy.”

The midwife waited until she made sure that Tang An was safe. After confirming that there was no danger of bleeding, she took the red packet and left.

The newborn ate and slept most of the time. Madam Wei prepared good dishes for Tang An everyday, so Tang An had a lot of milk.

The baby was obedient and did not cry.

Liu Dalang did not dare to hug his son yet. When he did, his entire body stiffened.

Ye Niuniu liked the baby very much. She asked Liu Erlang if he wanted to hug the baby. Liu Erlang waved his hand when he heard that. The baby was too small and he was afraid that he would accidentally drop the baby.

Everyone was happy to have a new life at home.

At night, Ye Niuniu even said to Liu Erlang, “I want to have a child too.”

Liu Erlang shook his head. “Wait a few more years.”

When Tang An was screaming in unbearable pain while giving birth, Liu Erlang felt that it was very scary. He felt that it was better to wait a little longer. Anyway, there was already a grandson at home, so he was not pressured to give Madam Wei a grandson. For now, he would just spend some alone time with his wife.

Liu Erlang grabbed Ye Niuniu’s waist. “Let’s talk about having a child in the future. There’s no hurry.”

Ye Niuniu wanted to refute, but she couldn’t because her lips were sealed.

Eight days after the child was born, Tang Yuan brought over ten chickens, five hens and five roosters. He even gave the child a longevity lock.

Madam Wei touched Tang Yuan’s head and said, “Yuan, talk to your sister for a while. I’ll go make soup. Your chickens look good.”

After Madam Wei left, Tang An touched the longevity lock and said, “You don’t have to spend this money.”

The silver longevity lock should be worth a lot.

Tang Yuan smiled. “Sister, Auntie Wei is a good person. She’s good to you. You’re my only sister, so I should be good to you. I’m relieved that the childbirth was smooth and safe.”

After Tang An gave birth smoothly, the Liu family got someone to send a letter to Tang Yuan. When he found out that it was a boy, he immediately went to buy the longevity lock and couldn’t wait to come here.

Seeing that Tang An was healthy and the child was chubby, Tang Yuan was relieved.

Tang An reached out and patted the back of Tang Yuan’s hand. “Yuan, thank you.”

Tang Yuan smiled. “I should be the one thanking you, Sister.”

The two siblings looked at each other and smiled. Suddenly, a voice came from outside, making Tang Yuan frown.

Madam Wu said in a high-pitched voice, “Madam Wei, congratulations on finally having a fat grandson. Tang An is finally worthy of your Dalang.”

Madam Wu’s tone was sarcastic, making Madam Wei feel uncomfortable. However, before Madam Wei could speak, Madam Wu stuffed a basket of eggs and a jar of candy into Madam Wei’s arms. “Speaking of which, we’re considered in-laws. We’re poor in the countryside. Don’t mind the cheap gifts..”
