Chapter 1249: Chapter 1299: ngxin Gave Birth
The Sun Family’s iron mine finally fell into Li Yifei’s hands, this ti Ma Dongxiang wasn’t killed by anyone, and even if soone had wanted to, Chen Dongping didn’t receive a single call telling him to stop directing the movie.
It must be because they knew Li Yifei was investigating them, so now they were acting more cautiously, or perhaps having annoyed Li Yifei once, they were not in a hurry to deal with him now.
Li Yifei now felt that there were indeed many potential enemies around, always catching him off guard, making it impossible for him to identify who the opponent was. His previous contempt for the big families had completely vanished; their power was far too great. This was why the higher-ups were uneasy about these big families. They could even influence the formulation of national policies, which was not a good thing for a country. These families no longer fit in with modern society, hence the need for new families like Li Yifei’s to replace them.
With these issues settled down, Su ngxin was finally about to give birth, which was certainly a major event for the Li family.
Not only for the Li family, but the Su family also considered it a grand event; a few days before the due date, Su ngxin’s parents rushed over.
In addition, the mothers of Xu Yingying and Lin Qiong also hurried over. Even though Su ngxin was not their daughter, after eting her, they knew that soone like Su ngxin, a treasured daughter of heaven, was definitely the most crucial figure in their families. And knowing that Su ngxin was carrying a boy, while Li Yifei already had two girls and was only lacking a son, they beca anxious too.
Li Yifei didn’t let Su ngxin give birth in the hospital, but at ho instead. Originally, the Li family residence had a small dical room, which was later expanded due to the increasing number of won in the Li family and their frequent dical needs. They specifically hired two renowned gynecologists, along with an internist, a surgeon, and a few nurses, so that the Li family mbers didn’t need to rush to the hospital for every minor ailnt; most issues could be handled at ho.
Moreover, to prepare for childbirth, Li Yifei had spared no expense in purchasing various dical equipnt for labor and delivery. It could be said that giving birth at Li Yifei’s ho was no less safe than in the hospital.
Everyone gathered at ho, making the Li household a bustling scene, and these mothers-in-law were certainly not people Li Yifei dared to offend.
As soon as the mothers of Xu Yingying and Lin Qiong arrived, the two daughters-in-law were in a rather unfortunate position because neither of them had beco pregnant yet, which made their mothers very anxious. Nagging, as it inevitably happens, followed. Xu Yingying wanted to conceive but couldn’t, whereas Lin Qiong genuinely did not want children that early. There would be more and more children in the family; it wouldn’t make much difference if she didn’t have one herself.
"Yingying, why haven’t you had a baby yet? ngxin is giving birth in a couple of days, and both Ling’er and Lianyao are showing. If a woman doesn’t bear children, how can she hold any status at ho?"
With no choice, Xu Yingying replied, "It’s not that I don’t want to have a child; I just can’t get pregnant."
Xu Yingying’s mother frowned and said, "But didn’t the checks say everything was fine? So why can’t you get pregnant? Is there so problem they didn’t find? I’ll help you look for so traditional redies later; you can try them, maybe they will work."
If it had been said earlier, Xu Yingying would have dismissed the suggestion, but this ti she hesitated and replied, "All right, I’ll try them later."
"That’s good, I’ll make a phone call right now. Old Zhao’s daughter at my workplace just couldn’t get pregnant; after taking a redy, she conceived not long after. I’ll ask her for it."
Xu Yingying’s mother went to make a phone call, and at this point, Lin Qiong’s mother started bombarding Lin Qiong.
"Little Qiong, you don’t have a problem, do you?"
Rolling her eyes, Lin Qiong retorted, "I don’t have any problems; I’m very healthy."
"Then why aren’t you pregnant?" Lin Qiong’s mother asked with a worried frown.
"How many tis do I have to say I don’t want one yet?"
Getting a bit irritated, Lin Qiong’s mother said, "How can you not want one? Look how many are about to give birth; how can you not be anxious at all?"
"I don’t want one, so of course, I’m not anxious. Mom, you should really stop worrying about this. You like kids, there are so many in the family, and they all call
’mom’ anyway, and they’d call you ’granny’ just the sa. So, enjoy it."
"Is it the sa? They are not your own flesh and blood; there’s always a difference. Besides, the children call
’granny,’ but they always add a surna, don’t they? If it’s your child, there’s no need for the surna, and it sounds completely different."
"Anyway, I just don’t feel like it. At least not for now. I am at a critical point in my career. If I got pregnant and had a big belly, what could I possibly do?"
"What career or no career. A woman’s life is about marrying and having children. With such good conditions in this household, do you even need to work that hard? Being a good wife and teaching your children, that’s a woman’s true role. Look at ngxin; she’s so capable. Do you think you can outdo her? But even she is diligently having Yifei’s children and being a good wife. You should really learn more from ngxin."
Lin Qiong rolled her eyes and responded, "ngxin is ngxin, and I am , okay? Not everyone thinks the sa way."
"You child, you’re just as obstinate as your father, it’s infuriating."
Seeing her mother genuinely upset, Lin Qiong had to concede, saying, "Okay, okay, don’t get angry, I promise you, just wait another two years, and I’ll definitely have one then, isn’t that okay?"
"You said it yourself; if you don’t give birth within two years, I will make sure you won’t be a departnt head anymore,"
Lin Qiong nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, yes, I will definitely give birth. Please, just stop nagging about it."
Having finally soothed the two elders, Xu Yingying and Lin Qiong left the villa together. They exchanged a look, and Xu Yingying shook her head, saying: "Lin Qiong, I’m envious of you now. You can give birth but choose not to, while I want to but can’t."
Lin Qiong took Xu Yingying’s arm and said, "You’re just too anxious. The doctors have already checked and found nothing wrong with you; it’s definitely not a physical issue. It might be because you’re too eager. Just relax, and soon you’ll be pregnant."
"I hope so," Xu Yingying shook her head. She beca less and less confident. She couldn’t understand why getting pregnant had to be so difficult.
"Mrs. Xu, Mrs. Lin, Mrs. Su is about to give birth!" A nanny rushed over in a hurry, calling out with a sweaty forehead.
Lin Qiong and Xu Yingying hurriedly ran towards the delivery room, while the nanny went on to notify the others.
After the preliminary examinations, all indicators for the fetus and Su ngxin were normal. She could now choose the mode of childbirth, either natural delivery or cesarean section.
Su ngxin, like Ye Yunzhu, opted for natural childbirth. In the delivery room, Li Yifei accompanied her. Having been through this once already, he was nervous but not as clueless as the last ti.
Holding one of Su ngxin’s hands, with the other he gently wiped her sweat. Li Yifei said softly, "ngxin, don’t be afraid, just do as the doctor says."
Su ngxin was already in the pre-labor stage, her forehead sweaty. She forced a smile and said, "I know, I’ve talked to Yunzhu about it many tis."
"Yeah, it’s just a bit painful - just endure it and it’ll pass."
"Don’t worry, husband, a little life is about to be born. I can withstand so suffering. I’m really looking forward to seeing our baby boy. Hehe, I just wonder if he’ll look like you or ."
"Of course, like you - you’re so beautiful."
"What’s the point of a boy being so pretty? I’d still prefer him to take after you, and you’re very handso too," she said.
The doctor looked at the couple, impressed. It was indeed best for childbirth when the mother wasn’t nervous and the father was relaxed. But when faced with such a situation, how many couples could truly relax?
After a while, Su ngxin’s brow furrowed and her face finally showed signs of tension. She gripped Li Yifei’s hand tightly. The doctor exclaid, "The water has broken, it’s ti to give birth. Take a deep breath now, and push when I tell you to."
"Wife, don’t be afraid, you can do it. If it hurts, bite my arm," Li Yifei brought his arm to Su ngxin’s mouth.
"No need, just give
a towel."
"No way, you’re in so much pain giving birth; I have to share so of that pain with you. At the very least, I need to feel your pain, only then is it fair," he insisted.
At that mont, Su ngxin could still manage a beautiful smile.
"Push!"
"Push!"
As the doctor commanded, Su ngxin clenched her teeth and started pushing hard. When the pain beca more intense, she finally bit down on Li Yifei’s arm until the cry of a newborn tore through the delivery room.
Su ngxin indeed gave birth to a boy. When the nurse brought the child before Li Yifei and Su ngxin, both smiled with happiness. No matter how painful it was, the sight of their own child being born made it all worthwhile.
Knowing that mother and son were safe, joy spread throughout the compound. Li Yifei finally had a son, a continuation of the Li family lineage, just like the firstborn son of a great ancient household, a highly valued heir. The Li family was the sa now.
Even though boys and girls are seen as equal in the eyes of their parents these days, in a large family, it is still expected that a capable boy will be the one to inherit. This is a tradition, a normal view of human relationships. If such a large family were to be handed over to daughters, and the daughters married off, wouldn’t the entire family have to change its surna?
