Chapter 44: Mother is Doing All This for You
Xie Jinghao lay on the kang, it took a long time for the pain to subside slightly, but as a mother, she couldn’t help but feel tense, her eyes fixed tightly on her own belly, fearing for any mishap with the child.
Beside her ear, Liu Sanjin was still prattling on incessantly, her rough and dark hands patting vigorously.
"You’re just courting death, aren’t you? Pregnant and not staying home peacefully, running over here every day.

Tomorrow we’ll go to the county hospital, let the doctor have a good look, get a check-up. As a pregnant woman, don’t you know to be more careful, not to carry heavy things, not to do strenuous work?"
