CHAPTER 1038: CHAPTER 1040: NOT FRIGHTENED BY THE CARRIAGE

Upon hearing Xiaoxiao’s words, Yue Niang hurriedly took the bowl of rice, completely disregarding her image, and started gobbling it down, fearing that she might not be able to eat when her stomach started hurting later.

Taking advantage of the moment, Xiaoxiao went outside to get a bowl of water for her sister-in-law. As soon as she stepped out, Yang Ming anxiously asked, "Wife, how is it?"

"It’s fine, she’s probably about to give birth, nothing happened to her because of our wagon!"

Hearing his wife’s reassurance, Yang Ming felt relieved about this situation, but he was still worried about An’an. After all, this was unfamiliar territory, and An’an was a thirteen-year-old girl who hadn’t been out much.

Actually, Xiaoxiao was also worried, but in this situation, there was no way for them to leave, and the elder brother had given his word before leaving.

"Husband, let’s wait a bit longer, until that elder brother and the midwife arrive. We can’t just leave the sister-in-law here alone; what if she gives birth? You can’t go alone either; if she gives birth, I can’t handle it on my own!"

Xiaoxiao could only pray that the elder brother would quickly return with the midwife, but it’s been so long, why hadn’t they come back? Didn’t he say everything was arranged with the midwife?

"Alright, let’s wait a bit more. If anything happens, call me immediately. Do you need me to bring our son out to watch?"

"No need, he’s playing there just fine. Plus, you need to be ready at all times; bringing him along would be troublesome."

Yang Ming nodded in agreement.

"Alright then, I’ll head in first." Xiaoxiao said as she carried the water inside.

As soon as she went inside, she handed the bowl of water to Yue Niang, "Sister-in-law, how are you feeling? Have some water first."

Yue Niang took the bowl and drank a few sips. After eating so much, she was also feeling thirsty. "Sister, thank you so much. Without your help, I really wouldn’t know what to do!"

"Oh, sister-in-law, please don’t say that. If it weren’t for our wagon scaring you, you wouldn’t be about to give birth!"

Yue Niang shook her head and said, "No, no, no, I was already in pain at that time. When the wagon turned around, I was already squatting there in pain. I didn’t expect the wagon to turn back and was frightened to fall to the ground. Thanks to you for bringing me back and helping me so much."

Hearing the sister-in-law say this, Xiaoxiao breathed a sigh of relief, fearing they’d encounter some kind of accusation, but thankfully, the sister-in-law wasn’t like that.

"Sister-in-law, I’m really grateful that you can say that. Actually, I observed earlier, you were just about to give birth; it wasn’t because the wagon scared you."

"Yes, that’s right, I’m about to give birth." Yue Niang nodded.

"Well, sister-in-law, when your husband comes back, please explain it to him. He thinks it was our fault for hitting you and threatened our lives when he left."

Upon hearing this, Yue Niang felt very embarrassed. She hadn’t had a chance to explain the situation to her husband before he left.

"Sister, I’m really sorry, I didn’t clarify it earlier. I’ll tell him when he returns. Actually, my husband isn’t fierce; he’s just really nervous about this child. It wasn’t easy for us to have this child."

"He’s also nervous about you."

Yue Niang, being conservative by nature, blushed at Xiaoxiao’s words and softly retorted, "He’s nervous about the child, not me."

"..." Seeing her so shy, Xiaoxiao decided to stop teasing. "Sister-in-law, let’s prepare more things. I noticed there aren’t any blankets to wrap the baby."

"Oh, I forgot, I’ll go get them right away."
