CHAPTER 366: CHAPTER 366: THE GRACE OF CHILDBIRTH

Due to the sudden onset of Mrs. Xiao Li’s labor, the discussion between Old Yuan and Mrs. Zeng about visiting Yuan Bao was forcibly interrupted, and for a long period afterward, they wouldn’t bring up the topic again.

After all, Mrs. Xiao Li’s delivery was the most important matter at hand. And once she had given birth, taking care of her during her postpartum period became urgent.

At this time, each childbirth for a woman was like passing through the gates of hell.

Whether for ordinary families or the affluent and noble, it was the same.

Childbirth for a woman is essentially a gamble with life.

Mrs. Xiao Li had experience giving birth to twins, so with this second delivery, she had gained some experience.

Moreover, the midwife was among the most experienced in Yunyang City.

In addition to this, Mrs. Zeng and Old Yuan had specially arranged for a renowned gynecologist to be on standby at their home.

Old Yuan and Mrs. Zeng placed great importance on this delivery for Mrs. Xiao Li.

Upon hearing that Mrs. Xiao Li was about to give birth, they immediately rushed to the scene and also sent someone to fetch Yuan Zhaodi back.

Originally, when Mrs. Xiao Li was giving birth to Yuan Shouhu and Yuan Bao, Yuan Zhaodi couldn’t make it back in time. But now, even though Yuan Zhaodi was busy, it was with his own affairs. Once he received the message, he naturally rushed back without delay.

...

The commotion inside the Yuan Family Mansion naturally alerted Sheng Xueyi next door.

Sheng Xueyi was quite thick-skinned.

Even though she knew the Yuan Family didn’t welcome her, she consistently imposed herself on them.

Upon learning that Mrs. Xiao Li was in labor, she immediately arranged for Mrs. Tian to come over, and she even sent over a ginseng root aged fifty years.

As the saying goes, a smiling face brings no harm.

Even though Old Yuan and Mrs. Zeng didn’t welcome Sheng Xueyi, her attitude was always very respectful, leaving them without grounds to confront her.

They were not like Yuan Bao.

Yuan Bao was a child, allowed to be willful and unruly.

But they were adults, unable to act recklessly.

The Yuan Family remained on high alert, worried that something might go wrong with Mrs. Xiao Li’s delivery.

Yet, surprisingly, the situation was incredibly smooth.

Within just half an hour, Mrs. Xiao Li had given birth.

A baby boy, weighing eight pounds, two ounces.

This was truly an impressive big chubby boy!

"Fourth, in the future, stop arguing with your wife, and be more accommodating, understood?"

Cradling her chubby grandson, Mrs. Zeng looked at Yuan Zhaodi beside her and spoke earnestly.

"Ah!"

Yuan Zhaodi, hearing his mother’s swift words, merely responded with a sound.

Yuan Zhaodi felt quite conflicted about Mrs. Xiao Li at the moment.

On the one hand, he often recalled the sweet and beautiful times they had together, yet on the other hand, he also remembered Mrs. Xiao Li’s various unpleasant actions after the family separation.

He wanted to live well with Mrs. Xiao Li, but he feared she would remain the same.

"What’s with the ah?"

Mrs. Zeng raised her hand and gave Yuan Zhaodi a slap, "Your wife has given you two sons, carrying on the Yuan Family lineage; she hasn’t wronged you."

"She indeed has some shortcomings, but who in this world is perfect?"

"You can’t always focus on her flaws; you must also see her virtues!"

"She has changed a lot in recent days."

Mrs. Zeng looked at Yuan Zhaodi and sighed softly, "After she’s finished her postpartum recovery, take her back. The family isn’t short on money now, so hire a couple of maids to attend to her, understood?"

"Mother, I understand!"

Facing his mother’s guidance, how could Yuan Zhaodi say no?

If he dared to utter anything unpleasant right now, his mother’s slightest word would have his father jumping in to discipline him.

"Alright, go check on your wife!"

"Your wife has suffered greatly to give you a son!"

"The pain of childbirth is something you men will never understand!"

Mrs. Zeng, being a woman, naturally understood women.

Each childbirth is a gamble.

Walking once by the gates of hell, the fear of not making it if luck is not on your side is something only those who have experienced it understand!

After a round of lecture from his mother, Yuan Zhaodi went to see Mrs. Xiao Li.

At that moment, Mrs. Xiao Li looked somewhat pale; due to the pain of childbirth, she was drenched in sweat, her hair damp with it, making her appear particularly fatigued.

"Husband!"

Seeing Yuan Zhaodi enter, a trace of joy flashed in Mrs. Xiao Li’s eyes.
