Tan scoffed, “My Mei’er gave birth to twins back then, and I didn't see her making such a fuss. Your Liao family, being a well-off household, has raised such a delicate little lady! You make such a big deal out of having a baby, expending all your energy climbing up and down. What did you get out of it in the end?”

Mrs. Liao was so angry her face turned red, and she was about to retort to Mrs. Tan again when Liao Meiying quickly grabbed her mother's sleeve and shook her head.

Aunt Jiang also quickly smoothed things over, saying: "Auntie Yongxian is just worried that her granddaughter-in-law will fall or bump herself climbing up and down. Meiying, you can just pull yourself onto the bed later, there's no need to worry, it's nothing. We women all go through this, don't be ashamed…"

Was she in bed? Liao Meiyng looked embarrassed.

Mrs. Liao also quickly followed Mrs. Jiang's words: "Yes, that's how women give birth. Just change the bedding after it gets dirty on the bed, right? Whatever is convenient, that's how we do it. As long as the baby is born safely..."

Tan then snorted, patted the cane beside her chair, and got up to leave the room.

As she reached the door, she happened to bump into Mrs. Sun who was just coming in from outside.

"Mother, where are you going?" Mrs. Sun asked habitually.

The old woman went blind and couldn't see. If she went to places she didn't usually go, she would definitely need someone to help her.

And in the neighboring kitchen, Yang Ruqing and Cao Baimei also poked their heads out to take a look.

Seeing that Madam Tan was losing her temper, she snapped at Madam Sun, “I’ve been waiting here all morning, enduring your constant noise and commotion. You've made me restless for ages and still nothing has happened! I’m going back to my eastern room for a midday nap. Wake me up if anything happens!”

>

Then Mrs. Sun stepped aside to let Mrs. Tan go first.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

However, Tan didn't leave. She turned her head and sniffed toward Sun's direction, "What do you have in your hands?"

Sun hurriedly said, "The shredded meat noodles, with two egg dumplings inside, will give Meiying the strength to give birth after she eats them."

Tan scoffed again, “After all that effort, I couldn’t even get a whole egg down! And now I have to eat meat floss scrambled eggs... Oh, the expense!”

After saying that, the old woman grabbed her cane and slowly went to the backyard.

Mrs. Sun let out a sigh of relief and quickly brought the food into the house for Liao Meiying to eat.

And at the doorway to the kitchen, Yang Ruqing said to Cao Baimei: "The more I look at our little old lady, the more I dislike her! If it weren't for my father being born from her womb, I really would like to kick her skinny butt!"

>

Cao Bamie was amused by Yang Ruqing's words.

"Qing'er, are you still holding these words in your stomach? Our grandmother may not see them, but her ears are very sharp. If she hears them later, you'll be the one who suffers." Cao Baimei said.

Yang Ruqing giggled and lowered her voice to ask Cao Baimei, "Did I just speak your mind?"

Caobaimi was stunned for a moment, let out a sigh, and that tacitly acknowledged it.

Yang Ruqing glanced back at Bao Suyun, who was still tending the stove where water was boiling. She thought to herself that all the daughters-in-law and granddaughters-in-law probably had the same thoughts. Ha, the little old lady's status really put her in a different position. Otherwise, she would really get beaten!

In the next delivery room, Liao Meiying's cries of pain subsided for a moment.

This should be eating noodles to replenish energy.

In a short while, Mrs. Sun came back with an empty bowl, but the cries of pain from Liao Meiyin in the adjacent delivery room sounded once again.

“Your sister-in-law is so amazing, she can still eat a whole bowl of noodles even in such pain. When I gave birth to my daughters, I was in so much pain that I didn't want to eat anything, all I wanted was to give birth and find some relief.”

Cao Baimei softly said, raising her hand to gently caress her towering abdomen.

There's maybe a month left before I give birth myself. I hope this baby is a son, so that afterward I won't have to suffer like this anymore. Giving birth is really too painful for women.

>

"Meiying couldn't eat it either, I and her mother forced her to finish it. Her situation isn't like when we gave birth, she was...by Yongxian..." Sun paused, skipping over that matter and continued with the rest:

"Just now, the midwife from the Jiang family said that the baby is taking too long to be born, the amniotic fluid is almost gone, and the baby is still not moving. It doesn't seem good."

Hearing this, several people in the kitchen immediately became tense.

“Did the old woman say what to do?” Yang Ruqing asked hurriedly.

Sun said: “I saw the old woman Jiang pushing there with her hands, but I couldn't understand what she was doing, so I came out..."

"To push? Goodness me, just thinking about it is painful." Cao Baimei said.

Let me know if you have other text you'd like translated!

Yang Ruqing raised a finger and pointed to the delivery room next door. "It sounds worse in there."

Bao Suyun sighed and murmured, "We women can't escape this hurdle. When I gave birth to Mianmian, seeing that she was a girl, my heart ached for her. She will also have to go through this, endure this hardship..."

Sun also wore a wry smile, “Isn't that just it? When women give birth, if we’re being honest, the in-laws care about the child, and the natal family cares about their daughter. When I gave birth to my three children—Qianer included—my natal family wasn't around. Thankfully, Qianer’s father was considerate of me. Otherwise, thinking back to what Qianer's mother said in the delivery room, I really would have felt so disheartened that I wanted to just end it all! Fortunately, I managed to make it through!”

Cao Bajie said: “Third Aunt, Fifth Aunt, you two are still a bit better off. Compared to me, who has given birth to two daughters in a row, now that I’m pregnant with my third child, it seems that grandpa and grandma are certain that I will continue to give birth to daughters. They completely ignore me and have given up on me.”

Yang Ruqing said, "Don't you want to be watched by them? That would be even more terrible!"

Cao Baimei was about to say something else, when a loud cry suddenly came from next door, followed by complete silence.

Then came Liao's mother's anxious voice: "Meiying! Meiying!"

"What's the situation?" Cao Baimei asked.

Yang Ruqing said, "Take a look!"

>

Several people rushed into the delivery room and saw Mother Liao lying beside the bed, shouting fiercely at Liao Meiying's ears. Old Mrs. Jiang stood aside with a pale face, also looking rather embarrassed.

What's going on? What happened to Meiying?

Sun rushed over and asked.

Mrs. Jiang said, “This situation isn’t right. I’ve almost used up all my methods, and the child still refuses to come down. If this continues, there’s no other way but to use labor-inducing medication!”

>

Use labor-inducing drugs?

Sun and Bao Suyun looked at each other, every woman who had given birth had heard of this medicine.

This drug should not be used lightly unless absolutely necessary. It is powerful, similar to an abortion pill. While it can force a delivery, the suffering of the mother will be many times greater than that of a normal childbirth.

If a woman is naturally frail, she might not be able to withstand it and could even lose her life. Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate! ?

"No, we can't use labor induction medication, my daughter can't handle it!" Mrs. Liao held onto Liao Meiying's head, crying and shaking her head desperately.

Sun's family members also wore expressions of difficulty.

They are just Liao Meiying's aunts and do not have the authority to make decisions for her.

This household, the power lies with three people. First and foremost is Yang Yongxian, followed by Lao Yangtou and Tan shi. Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate! ?

Yang Yongxian was definitely not someone to rely on, so the only option was to call for Lao Yangtou and Tan Shi. However, Liao's mother's attitude...

"What are you still waiting for, hurry up and use the medication to induce labor! My great-great-grandchildren are about to suffocate!"

Tan's voice boomed once again at the doorway like thunder.

When the most person was exasperated, he hurried into the delivery room. At the door behind him, Lao Yangtou and Yang Huazhong also stood there, watching from afar.

Lao Yang's face was also covered in anxious expressions.
