Chapter 73: Chapter 73: Wait for Me to Return

Xifeng also followed, and she thought if Xie Jinghao was going to give birth, and Shen Meng would accompany her, then it’d be best if Xiao Gang didn’t go. A child going to the county hospital wouldn’t eat or sleep well and would need someone to take care of him; it was really inappropriate.

"Sister-in-law Meng, quickly gather some clothes for Jinghao, and bring the thermos, teacups, washbasin and such, oh, and also the things the child will need."

Xie Jinghao pointed to her cabinet, "In there, I was afraid I’d suddenly go into labor, so I prepared the things the child would need early on. I’m fine myself, just casually grab some things for me."

Shen Meng and Xifeng quickly helped pack things, packing them into bags or pockets while they did.

Xifeng tidied up the things and handed them to Shen Meng, then she reached out and held Xiao Gang in her arms.

"Xiao Gang, don’t be afraid. You follow Aunt to your elder aunt’s house where your brothers and sisters are. Play with them, your mom is going to give birth to your brother or sister. She’ll be back in a couple of days, and you just wait obediently at home."

"Xiao Gang, listen to what your Aunt says, just stay at home. Your dad and I will be back in a few days, okay!"

Xiao Gang didn’t want to be separated from her, as from childhood he had never left Xie Jinghao’s side. Initially, Liu Sanjin, using the excuse of Xie Jinghao’s second pregnancy, tried to take Xiao Gang to sleep in his own room, but Xiao Gang absolutely refused and cried into the middle of the night incessantly, exasperating Liu Sanjin to the point where he had to return the child to Xie Jinghao.

"No, no, I don’t want to go to elder aunt’s house, I want mom, I want mom, Mom, woo woo woo....."

Shen Meng, seeing his anxious and scared expression, simply held him back.

"Just let him go. He’s also scared at home, you likely can’t soothe him either."

Lu Jiasheng nodded, he lifted the blanket off of Xie Jinghao, bent down and picked her up with hands trembling from nervousness.

"Wife, don’t be scared, I’m here, I’ll carry you to the ox-cart. Once at the hospital, just deliver the baby, if this child acts up, I’ll discipline him when he grows up a bit."

He carried Xie Jinghao outside, Shen Meng held Xiao Gang, and Xifeng carried the necessary items, ready to head out of the yard.

Liu Sanjin hastily stopped them.

"No, you can’t go, it’s just childbirth, there’s no need to go to the county hospital. Look at the rest of the production team, none are like her, she’s doing this on purpose. Jiasheng, don’t believe her, it’s intentional!"

"Mom, just stop it. If anything happens to Jinghao and the baby today, our mother-son bond will be over."

"What, what did you say, you are my son."

Liu Sanjin clutched his chest in disbelief, looking at Lu Jiasheng, while Lu Jiaxuan and Zhou Jiaojiao hurriedly supported her.

"Third brother, you’re going too far, it’s hurtful to Mom to speak to her like this. Giving birth is a common thing for women. Once your sister-in-law safely delivers the baby, you’ll regret treating your own mother this way."

"Jiaojiao is right, third brother, I’m really disappointed in you, do you have any filial piety left in your heart, any place for your parents."

The expression on Lu Jiasheng’s face didn’t change, if not for holding his wife in his arms, he really felt like kicking the couple. How dared they confidently say these words to him, it’s his Jinghao who bled, wasn’t it all because they instigated her to go find trouble with elder sister-in-law.

Jinghao stopped them, as a result the whole family attacked her, allowed her to be so agitated while pregnant that she ran into the kitchen and took a knife to her own neck, he had cheerfully come home with his luggage and hadn’t yet shown the things he bought for his wife and child, nor shared with Jinghao how much money he had made working in the mines this trip.

Pushing open the door, he saw his own wife with a cleaver on her neck. He dared not recall that scene anymore; it was so frightening that his calves were trembling.

"You two, get lost, you heartless things. If you had intervened, my wife would have suffered less. If anything happens to my wife and child, I will fight you with my life. Also, I still don’t understand why Jinghao had a knife to her neck when I got home just now. Wait for me, I’ll deal with you when I come back."

He said this to Lu Jiaxuan and his wife, and also shouted to the second brother and his wife who had not shown themselves from the other room. He was definitely not going to let this go today.

Shen Meng held Xiao Gang by the butt and nudged Zhou Jiaojiao, who was in the way, to the side, almost knocking Liu Sanjin over in the process.

Lu Jiasheng placed Xie Jinghao on the bullock cart and carefully covered her with a blanket.

"Uncle Guai, let’s go."

"Hold on, Jiasheng, I’ll take care of Jinghao on the bullock cart. You’re a man and might not know how to handle it. Go to my house, take the bicycle, and head to the county hospital to find Doctor Cheng Yufen. Tell her about the situation. She knows Jinghao’s condition so she can be prepared to perform the surgery as soon as we arrive."

"Alright, alright, elder sister-in-law, I’m entrusting Jinghao to you. Once Jinghao has given birth, I’ll kowtow to you." He said while stroking Xie Jinghao’s hair. Hesitating for a moment, he still bent down and gave her a kiss.

"Hey, what a time for Jiasheng to still be thinking about giving Jinghao a sweet kiss, hurry up. Sister-in-law Meng, don’t worry, I’ll take good care of the kids at home, just come back safely!"

Xifeng, feeling embarrassed, placed the packed items at the back of the bullock cart, next to Xie Jinghao’s feet.

Xie Jinghao felt a bit embarrassed too, but was moved by her husband’s kindness.

"Damn shameless vixen, still seducing men at a time like this!" Liu Sanjin looked at his no-good son, teeth itching with anger.

Shen Meng rolled her eyes, "You wish someone would kiss your old face."

On the way, Xie Jinghao was feeling somewhat detached. Shen Meng took out a Snickers bar she had prepared in the morning, broke off a piece, and stuffed it into her mouth.

"Jinghao, eat this, it’ll give you strength. Drink this too."

Weak and in waves of pain, Xie Jinghao felt she had to eat not just for her child, but for herself too. The sweet and nutty flavor was delicious, and she wanted more despite herself, but she restrained her craving. Such tasty food mustn’t be cheap, and her elder sister-in-law was already too kind. She couldn’t ask for more.

But as soon as the thought passed, another piece was stuffed into her mouth, and her elder sister-in-law poured her a big sip of sugar water.

"Just eat and drink, sister-in-law has packed all these for you. There are also a few ginseng slices. Eat up and I’ll give you one to keep in your mouth. It’s good for your health."

"Thank you so much, elder sister-in-law."

"Don’t mention it, the most important thing is for you to be safe and sound," she replied, then turned to take a custard bread from her bag, and glanced at Uncle Guai driving the cart as she handed it to Xiao Gang.

"Xiao Gang, you eat some too, so you have the strength to take care of your mom."

"Okay, thank you, elder aunt."

The little guy reached out to take it and stuffed it into his mouth. He had smelled it when elder aunt took it out earlier, it was incredibly fragrant. He swallowed his saliva several times, thinking it was for his mom, but was surprised it was for him.
