Chapter 364: Received New News
Su Lan gave birth to a healthy, plump baby boy, and both mother and son were safe and sound.
This fortunate outcome was largely thanks to Qin Zhenzhen, who had prepared and administered spiritual water to Su Lan in advance, even applying it at the birth canal. This was done to prevent injuries and alleviate her pain during childbirth.
As a pleasant surprise, Qin Zhenzhen also discovered another remarkable effect of the spiritual water: it enhanced muscle elasticity. Consequently, Su Lan’s labor was relatively painless and swift.
The baby weighed approximately nine catties, a considerable size by any measure. In modern times, such a birth might have necessitated a significant medical intervention. However, to Qin Zhenzhen’s astonishment, the child was born smoothly, with Su Lan emerging from the experience unscathed. It was truly a marvel.
The entire family was overjoyed, wearing beaming smiles, with Qian Shanmin radiating an unparalleled happiness. This year had brought him success and prosperity. He had demolished their old home and constructed a larger one. Coincidentally, his son’s birth aligned with their move to the new house, leading many to believe that the residence was now blessed with good fortune.
However, Qian Shanmin was quick to clarify, "It’s my wife who brings prosperity to her husband and family!"
In a bid to better support his wife and child, he had hired a helper—a middle-aged woman experienced in tending to expectant mothers and infants. Additionally, he acquired a maid specifically to care for Su Lan and her child. He treated Su Lan and Wang Yizhi’s daughter as his own, displaying boundless love and care.
Observing his brother-in-law’s genuine care for their sister, Su Bin felt reassured.
With his sister and brother-in-law settled into their new home, supported by household staff, Su Bin decided it was time to take Su Cheng to the prefecture capital.
This time, Su Cheng didn’t insist on staying behind. His initial hesitation stemmed from concerns for his sister’s well-being.
