Chapter 515

Once she got home, she sat in a chair and didn’t want to move. These past few days she had been going out, and her already swollen and uncomfortable legs were hurting from all the walking.

However, for her family, she had to fight on. In order to give her children a better life, she had to work hard. She hoped that she could provide them with a better life in the future.

Now that she was about to give birth, if she didn’t push herself to the limit, she would be in the confinement period and taking care of the baby, just relying on the income from the clothing store and factory would be far from enough to achieve her goals.

They didn’t even have a house now, and with the country’s development and rapidly growing economy, prices would only get higher and housing more scarce. If she didn’t seize the opportunity to make money when she could, when would be a better time?

So no matter how hard or weary Qin Xue was, she had to grit her teeth and persevere. Who didn’t know that being pregnant was exhausting and difficult? It wouldn’t stop her from being a mother; she would just have to fight even harder because this was her lineage and legacy.

Qin Xue wasn’t born into a good family, so she had to rely on herself for everything. Before, she didn’t understand why her roommate had said that pregnant women in her hometown would work until the day they gave birth.

She remembered asking at the time: “Isn’t that tiring? Aren’t you worried about giving birth in the field?”

How had her roommate responded to her back then? It seemed like she said: “When you have no strong support and have to rely on yourself, you’ll do whatever it takes to survive.”

“Even if you give birth in the field, you’ll still do it because, if you don’t, you won’t have food to eat, and your children will have to continue to suffer with you. So you’ll definitely struggle and work hard.”

“Qin Xue, let me tell you, I’ve seen a woman from a village who started having stomach pains while returning from work in the fields.”

“Since her home was too far away and she couldn’t make it back in time, she went into a bamboo grove halfway and gave birth to her child there. She took off her clothes to wrap the baby, not even cutting the umbilical cord, and just headed home like that, leaving passersby in awe.”

“So I vowed to become a doctor. I want to learn more medical knowledge and help those who need it.”

“So, Qin Xue, when you get married, find someone wealthier, at least so you won’t have to work so hard when you’re pregnant and life won’t be so difficult.”

Qin Xue remembered that after she had listened to her roommate’s words back then, she couldn’t imagine that there could really be such a thing in this world. Would a mother really go to that extent?

But now, Qin Xue believed it because she was now a mother herself. She would persevere for her children, no matter how difficult it was.

At this moment, Qin Xue finally understood the meaning of a mother. A mother is not just someone who created you for their pleasure with a man; she is someone who would exchange her life for yours and pay any price for you, including her own life.

Qin Xue touched her belly, “Child, mom won’t let you live on the streets. I will do my best to create a good living environment for you. But I won’t spoil you, so you must live up to my expectations, understand?”

“Sis, have some water first.” Qin Jiale saw his sister sit down as soon as she got home, massaging her legs, and he felt very sorry for her. So, he went to the kitchen and poured her a glass of water to drink.

“Thank you, Lele. You guys have also been walking for half a day. Sit down and rest a bit. I’ll make dinner in a while” Qin Xue smiled at her siblings.

“No need, sis. You rest. I’ll make dinner. Although the taste might not be great, it’ll do.” Qin Yu also felt sorry for their older sister who was still helping them with everything while pregnant.

“Oh, our Xiao Yu can cook now? That’s great! I’ll look forward to tasting your cooking tonight.” Qin Xue wasn’t someone who would prevent others from showing what they could do, so she happily agreed when she heard her brother’s words.
