Chapter 425 Rumors of Lady Liu Giving Birth (5)_1
"But, but Mother’s body is weak, and she’s half a month early, could something go wrong? Why hasn’t the midwife arrived yet, why hasn’t Aunt Wang come?"
Lin Yi and Lin Wei had only just left the house.
Just then, Lady Liu’s cries gradually ceased, probably because the first contraction had passed. Xia Zheng quickly said, "Yuanyuan, go and check quickly."
Lin Yuan also heard it, fearing something might happen to Lady Liu, she hurried into the room: "A woman is giving birth, you shouldn’t come in!"
Xia Zheng curled his lips, stopping at the doorway. Soon, Lin Jiaxin was also chased out. Father and son, wide-eyed and anxious, could neither sit nor stand still in the main hall.
In no time, Lady Liu’s screams started again, and Lin Yuan ran out to the kitchen, where she hurriedly cooked a big bowl of the small dumplings she hadn’t finished making earlier and also had Xia Zheng boil a pot of hot water for her.
Although he didn’t know what the hot water was for, Xia Zheng found it was better to have something to do at a time like this than to listen to Lady Liu’s heart-wrenching cries inside the house. Given there were two stoves, he simply filled two large pots with water and started boiling.
Lin Yuan carried the dumplings into the room, and while Lady Liu’s contractions were less severe, she urged her to eat quickly so she had the strength to give birth later.
