Chapter 719: 719 is a grandchild
After all, Madam Zhao was her mother, and Ye Jiu called out instinctively. Although Ye Qingzhi followed suit, her small face remained icy, demonstrating a certain coldness despite her young age.
Even though she had been nurtured back to good health recently, she still seed excessively indifferent when facing others, especially those she wasn’t familiar with.
On normal days, when encouraged to go out and play with other children, she would refuse. If it were not for Lin Songhan at ho, Ye Jiu would have worried that she might have developed autism.
Childbirth varies greatly among won, so deliver easily—barely feeling pain before the child erges—while others endure an experience akin to traversing the gates of hell, like Madam Zhao at present.
When Ye Jiu and He Shi arrived, they saw basin after basin of bloody water being carried out, and the once forceful cries of Madam Zhao had beco weak and feeble.
There were indeed many grandchildren in the Ye Family, and it was not Ye Jiu’s first ti witnessing childbirth, but she still felt distressed every ti, as if she were the one in pain.
He Shi, unable to concern herself with anything else at the mont, pushed past Ye Gaoshui, who was pacing anxiously nearby, and entered the delivery room.
The wait was excruciating, and Ye Jiu could clearly feel Ye Qingzhi’s small body trembling with fear.
Ye Jiu gently stroked her back to console her and said, “Don’t be afraid, Qingzhi. Let’s go wait in Sister Qinghua’s room.”
As the youngest child in the family, Ye Qingzhi was witnessing such a scene for the first ti. Her fear was inevitable, and Ye Jiu understood.
Ye Qingzhi didn’t resist and let Ye Jiu lead her to Ye Qinghua’s quarters.
Zhang Shi had also entered the delivery room, and Ye Gaoshi, who had been in the house, quickly stood up and left upon seeing Ye Jiu and Ye Qingzhi enter, affording the three so private ti together.
“Auntie, do you think it’s always this painful to give birth?” Ye Qingzhi suddenly asked.
“Probably,” Ye Jiu answered, having never experienced it herself. She had heard that the pain of natural childbirth was akin to enduring ten broken ribs at once—such agony was beyond her imagination.
But she knew all too well how unbearable it was even to scrape a bit of skin on her hand.
“If it’s that painful, then why bother having children?” Ye Qingzhi couldn’t understand. Surely, if it was neither liked nor wanted, why endure such pain to bring soone into the world?
Ye Qingzhi’s voice was so soft, and with both Ye Jiu and Ye Qinghua distracted by Madam Zhao’s cries outside, no one heard her words, and her turmoil went unnoticed.
The delay lasted until dusk when finally a baby’s distinct cry echoed from outside.
“Auntie, congratulations, congratulations, it’s a grandson!”
The joyful exclamation from outside gave Ye Jiu a sigh of relief.
It was good that it was a son!
Ye Jiu thought this not because she valued males over females, but because, although Madam Zhao might not be a qualified mother, she was decent to her son, at the very least not abusive. Ye Jiu certainly did not wish to see another Ye Qingzhi in the family.
It was still very cold, and the newborn could obviously not be brought outside, so after waiting for nearly a day, Ye Jiu still hadn’t seen what the child looked like.
When He Shi ca out, the other midwife who had helped deliver the child reminded Ye Gaoshui, “This sturdy little boy looks so strong, you should quickly send news to his grandmother’s house!”
“Ah, yes, right away, right away…” Ye Gaoshui was so excited he hardly knew what to do with himself, and he started running off at once.
