Becoming the Villain's Discarded Wife
Chapter 515: Landing with a Splash

Chapter 515: Chapter 515: Landing with a Splash

Everyone in the household was either anxiously looking into the room or closing their eyes chanting. Lin Ercheng was the most anxious, pacing non-stop since the door was closed.

"May gods bless us, may gods bless us..."

Lin Ercheng was murmuring softly to himself, while Lin Yicheng beside him was constantly trying to reassure him.

If he succumbs to his worries, who will hold the baby later?

"Brother, don’t worry, Ma Po is the most skilled midwife. Everything will be fine."

Shen Wenchen uttered comforting words, but glancing at Nanzhi’s swollen belly, he couldn’t help but feel a tinge of worry.

Sun Cui’s cries of pain in the room were getting louder, and it was bone-chilling to everyone who heard it.

"When Maomao was born, it didn’t take this long..."

Ercheng’s face turned extremely pale and his hands were shaking uncontrollably.

An hour had already passed...

Just as they were talking, Cheng Yue brought out another basin of bloody water. Seeing the door open, Lin Ercheng dashed in without considering anything else.

"Second son!"

Lin Yicheng tried to stop him, but he had already run into the room before he could reach him.

"This damned boy!"

Ercheng’s father stamped his foot in anger, almost choking on his breath.

That one was carrying cold air on his body. What if he disturbs his daughter-in-law’s labor process?

"Father, take it easy."

"Cheng Yue, how are things going inside?"

Shen Miaomiao asked hurriedly as she saw Cheng Yue about to leave.

"Everything is fine."

Cheng Yue threw this reassurance back over her shoulder, and hastily returned to fetching hot water.

Standing the furthest, Su Tao didn’t have a close relationship with the Lin family and it was their family matter, so she didn’t want to intrude.

Watching the situation, she quietly swallowed her saliva.

She knew that childbirth in modern times was a matter of life and death, even more so in ancient times with their poor medical conditions?

But she never saw a woman give birth before, and the sight now was quite shocking.

Already four basins of blood had been brought out.

She had heard in novels about women laboring from dusk to dawn. It surely couldn’t...

Su Tao shook her head quickly. The Lin family were all good people. She didn’t want anything bad to happen to them.

In the room, Sun Cui was soaked in sweat, as if she just got out of the water.

Chen Qiulan kept adding charcoal to the stove, ensuring the room stayed warm.

"Madam, push harder, the baby is at the door!"

Ma Po had rolled up her sleeves on both sides. She discovered that the baby’s positioning wasn’t correct, pinned by its right hand at the birth canal. But after a lot of effort, she had just managed to adjust the baby’s position.

"Cuicui, push harder, your mother is here, don’t be afraid."

After Lin Ercheng entered, he didn’t dare to go straight to his wife. Instead, he took off his cold clothes before he dared to get close.

Watching Ma Po pull her hand out from his wife, Lin Ercheng felt his eyes growing hot, and he nearly broke into tears.

"What are you doing here?"

Seeing her son in the room, Lin Ercheng’s mother frowned. This was not a place for a man during childbirth!

"Mother, I took off my coat. I’m not cold."

Ercheng wiped his tears away, his body trembling.

He had never imagined his wife would be in such pain.

"Cuicui, I’m here, I’m here, push harder... I’m with you..."

Sun Cui was already in unbearable pain. She almost passed out from the pain when the baby’s position was just adjusted. The sudden entrance of a person left her struggling to open her eyes.

Sweat dripped down her forehead and into her eyes, somewhat blurring her vision.

"Why, why did you come in?"

"I’m worried about you."

Ercheng’s face was not the face of an expectant father at that moment. With tears and snot streaming down his face, he looked like he was the one giving birth instead.

"I, I’m okay."

Sun Cui shook her head. Despite saying that she was okay, the pain caused her to grip the sheets underneath her, and beads of sweat soaked her hair once again.

"Let’s not have any more children."

Ercheng held his wife’s hand tightly, shaking his head continuously.

They were not going to have any more children. He didn’t want his wife to suffer like this anymore.

"What nonsense are you saying?"

Ercheng’s mother kicked her son and wiped the sweat off his daughter-in-law’s face.

"The baby’s head is almost out! Madam, push harder!"

Sun Cui was already feeling weak and the words of Ercheng just then had disconcerted her a bit. She could only flash a weak smile.

"Mother, I, I’m out of strength."

"You are my good daughter, you have to give everything, you can’t rest now, push harder!"

Ercheng’s mother knew that her son’s words had upset her, so she hurriedly tried to encourage her.

If the baby wasn’t delivered, both mother and child would be in danger!

Seeing the situation deteriorating, the midwife’s face also changed.

The amniotic fluid has all but dried up. If the baby isn’t born soon, it could suffocate inside!

"Old lady, can you bring that copper basin over there, and bring a stick."

"Yes, of course."

Ercheng’s mother hurriedly got up to fetch those items and upon seeing her son still sitting on the ground, she gave him another kick.

Cuicui was losing strength, and the fact that the baby was stuck in that position made everyone nervous.

As she brought the items over, the midwife told her to start hitting the basin with all her might.

With the booming sound of the copper basin, Sun Cui, who had been feeling listless just now, was startled and gave a push. The baby was delivered on that push.

"The baby’s out! The baby’s out!"

Overwhelmed with joy, Ma Po quickly wrapped the baby up, cut the umbilical cord and cleaned up the placenta in the baby’s body before handing it over to Lin Ercheng’s mother.

"Congratulations, it’s a girl!"

With the baby now safely delivered, the midwife began to tend to Sun Cui’s injuries.

There were tears, so they needed to stitch them up with sheep intestine thread. Fortunately, the placenta came out smoothly; otherwise, things would have been more complicated.

"Cuicui, we have a baby girl now, we have a baby girl now."

Ercheng didn’t even bother to look at their baby girl. He just struggled to stand up and held his wife’s hand.

The pain had subsided, and Sun Cui opened her eyes. Seeing her husband crying like a child, she found it a little amusing.

"Why are you crying? I was the one giving birth."

"I feel for you. We won’t have any more children in the future."

Ercheng shook his head, stating his decision.

Maomao’s birth was smooth. He remembered it only took quarter of an hour for the midwife to bring out a crying Maomao after she went in.

He knew that childbirth was dangerous for women, but seeing it first hand today made him realize that his wife really loved him enough to risk her life.

"Okay."

Sun Cui gave a tired smile. Looking into Ercheng’s eyes, she saw nothing but pure joy.

She was fortunate to have married into the Lin family, becoming the wife of the Lins.

Her mother-in-law was fair and principled, and her husband was thoughtful and good to her.

She knew the risks of childbirth but was willing to bear them.

She felt that this family and her husband deserved her love.
