Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
In the blink of an eye, it was autumn, and the fruits on the farm had ripened.
This morning, Gu Chengrui was about to go to the manor to teach everyone how to brew wine when Zhou Ying suddenly felt a pain in her stomach.
She quickly stopped him. “Rui, don’t go. I think I’m going to give birth.”
“Huh? That quickly?” Gu Chengrui was stunned. After he reacted, he quickly asked Shizhu to call Mother Qiu and the midwife over.
He helped Zhou Ying sit on a chair and took her pulse. After a while, his hand trembled. “You’re really going to give birth, but it looks like it’s still early. Let me help you walk around the courtyard.”
“Alright.” After Zhou Ying finished speaking, she slowly walked out with him.
Not long after, Mother Qiu and the midwife rushed over. They quickly set up the delivery room and prepared everything they needed.
Zhou Ying’s contraction had also begun when they were almost done with their preparations.
After Gu Chengrui sent her into the delivery room, he rechecked her pulse.
After confirming there was no problem, he handed her to the midwife and said, “I’m a doctor. I’ll wait outside. Call me if there’s anything.”
“Ah, don’t worry, Master.” The midwife nodded and got busy.
Gu Chengrui walked out of the delivery room after that.
Zhou Ying’s scream was heard when he stepped out the door. Gu Chengrui was so scared that his legs went weak. Then, he leaned against the pillar in the veranda and stared at the delivery room.
He looked at the servant girls, who came in and out with hot water basins.
Two hours later, with the loud cry of a baby, their eldest daughter was born.
Gu Chengrui immediately got up and ran in, frightening Mother Qiu.
Seeing that it was him, she immediately smiled. “Congratulations, Master. It’s a daughter. Both mother and daughter are safe.”
“Thank you, thank you. I’ll go in and take a look.” After Gu Chengrui finished speaking, he immediately ran in.
Mother Qiu wanted to stop him at first. After all, the delivery room was a place that men shouldn’t enter. However, before she could say anything, he had already gone in.
After Gu Chengrui entered the room, the midwife and the servant girls were almost done cleaning up. When she saw him enter, she immediately smiled and went forward. “Congratulations, Master. Mistress is blessed, and the birth went very smoothly.”
“Thank you. Please wait outside for a moment.” After Gu Chengrui finished speaking, he walked to the bed. When he saw the exhausted Zhou Ying, he sat down and took her pulse.
“Take care of the child. I want to sleep.” Zhou Ying opened her eyes and said.
“Go to sleep. I’ll take care of the child.” After Gu Chengrui finished speaking, he kissed her forehead and tucked her in. He got up and looked at the baby in the cradle.
The baby was dirty and red with blood, and she looked pretty ugly, truth be told.
But no matter how he looked at her, she looked all too adorable. He smiled and kissed her little fist. After checking her pulse and confirming that nothing was wrong, he kissed her again before turning around and walking out.
When he arrived outside, he saw the midwife waiting outside. He took two silver ingots from his wallet and handed them to her.
The midwife immediately stood up and smiled. “Master, you’re too polite. This is what a midwife should do.”
“Since you are a doctor, then I will take my leave.”
To be honest, it was not that she had never received such a high amount of thank-you money before, but that was after a difficult birth.
She had never seen such a generous person, and the rumors seemed true. The relationship between the husband and wife was excellent. Even when Zhou Ying gave birth to a daughter, Gu Chengrui wasn’t unhappy even one bit.
How would she know that not only did Gu Chengrui not value sons over daughters, but he preferred having a cute daughter? Not to mention, she was their first child in two lifetimes..
