Chapter 464: It Just Hurt

Chapter 464

When Zhao Midwife was young, she had gone to wealthy families in the city to help deliver babies. At that time, she felt that their lives were simply heaven.

Now when she saw the Mo Family's situation, Zhao Midwife felt that those wealthy families in the city were nothing compared to them.

Just as she was looking around everywhere, Lan Er had already walked in carrying a tray full of food.

She neatly arranged the food on the table and patiently introduced each dish before leaving.

Old Lady Mo had no plans to chat with the midwife here. She now only wanted to keep an eye on her daughter-in-law, so there would be more people around in case anything happened.

"Sister-in-law Zhao, please rest here for now. I will come get you as soon as something happens with my daughter-in-law."

Zhao Midwife now understood clearly. The reason why Mo Jiuye had gone to such great lengths to bring her here was to have a midwife by his wife's side when she went into labor.

For her, this was not surprising at all. For women who lived far away and went into labor, their families would ask her to be there early.

She had thought that since they all lived in the same village and were so close, the Mo family could just come get her when the time came.

Who knew they had dragged her over urgently even before anything had happened.

Now that she was here, Zhao Midwife had no plans to leave either. She might as well stay and rest here.

After being dragged all the way here by Mo Jiuye, even if she had felt tired earlier, that was all gone now. Zhao Midwife started eating the food on the table.

As soon as she took a bite, she just couldn't stop.

No matter which dish it was, she had never eaten anything like it before. And in her opinion, this must be the most delicious food in the world.

In that instant, all of Zhao Midwife's slight annoyance at Mo Jiuye disappeared without a trace.

The Mo family really had good intentions, treating her to such wonderful food.

The shock she had received earlier was now completely made up for by this food...

He Zhiran slept very soundly, and in her dreams, she saw her two children.

They looked so cute and chubby, grinning at her.

Just as she was about to hug the children, she suddenly felt the urge to pee.

He Zhiran instantly woke up.

As soon as she opened her eyes, Mo Jiuye's handsome yet somewhat haggard face zoomed in.

"Ranran, you're awake. Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?"

He Zhiran reached out her hand to him, and Mo Jiuye cooperated by gently helping her sit up.

At this moment, she felt that if she didn't try extra hard, she wouldn't live up to all the delicious food she was treated to last night.

"Don't panic, it just started so she won't give birth immediately. You all go wait outside, let me examine her first."

The examination was different after labor had started. Idle people couldn't remain at the scene.

He Zhiran naturally knew what kind of examination Zhao Midwife wanted to give her. It was nothing more than checking how dilated she was.

This examination was no big deal, yet it left Zhao Midwife dumbstruck.

She stared at He Zhiran full of disbelief.

"Young lady from the Mo family, didn't your stomach hurt at all last night?"

He Zhiran shook her head. "It only started hurting just now."

"How strange. It's already dilated eight centimeters, how could you have only started feeling pain now?" Zhao Midwife muttered to herself, eyes full of incredulity.

He Zhiran didn't really understand this either. To get herself examined, she could only enter her space and use those modern medical devices. But ever since last night, someone had never left her side, so there was never a chance for that.

Although this was her first delivery, she had never heard of a woman dilating eight centimeters with just a few light stomach pains. That was a bit too outrageous.

So either Zhao Midwife's examination was inaccurate, or her physique was special...

Just as she was filled with doubts, Zhao Midwife had already turned around and opened the room door.

Seeing the room door open, the people waiting outside swarmed over.

"Granny, how's my wife's condition?" Mo Jiuye asked.

Zhao Midwife repeated the results of the examination she had just done on He Zhiran, then instructed, "The baby's coming fast. Hurry and boil some hot water. Also take advantage of the time before she gives birth to have her eat as much as possible."

Hearing that water needed boiling, Madam He rushed to the kitchen without needing to be told.

Both Old Lady Mo and Madam He looked at Zhao Midwife full of disbelief.

The two of them had gone through childbirth before. How could He Zhiran have dilated eight centimeters when her stomach had only just started hurting?

What did dilating eight centimeters represent?

It represented she was about to give birth very soon.

They should know that during their own labors, even if it wasn't their first child, they still had to endure pain for several hours before reaching eight centimeters dilation.

At this moment, Old Lady Mo didn't even care if questioning Zhao Midwife would displease her. She asked,

"Are you sure my daughter-in-law has already dilated eight centimeters?"
