The Reborn Sidekick Rejected The Male Lead-Chapter 378 - Three Hundred and Sixty-Seven: Birth

After Second cousin and Aunt left, Lu Jingqiu checked her purse and found that she actually had over thirty-five thousand yuan.

Goodness, how much did Second cousin earn to give her three percent, and it amounted to so much.

It seemed his analogy was true.

The next day, Jingqiu went to deposit the money, leaving one thousand yuan for herself.

There were exams at her school these two days, and after the exams, they had a vacation.

Although she didn’t need to take the exams, since she could, she decided to do it anyway.

Two subjects in the morning and one in the afternoon.

After the exams, she went home, but that night, she tossed and turned, unable to sleep well, and her trips to the bathroom became more frequent, which caused Yiyi to come out at night and ask her what was wrong, worried about her and ending up sleeping by the side of her bed.

The next day, Yiyi told Grandpa Jiang and Aunt Zhang about it.

Aunt Zhang said, "She must be about to give birth, no? Isn’t her due date next Monday or Tuesday? Why don’t we go to the hospital today?"

Jingqiu shook her head, I just can’t sleep, and the frequent bathroom trips, it’s been like this lately, I’ll hold on until after the exams to go.

Grandpa Jiang, not at ease, had Aunt Zhang wait outside the school today.

As a result, when she arrived at school in the morning, she began to feel uncomfortable in her stomach, which persisted until the afternoon exam, when her stomach started to hurt.

Fortunately, it wasn’t very painful, and she insisted on finishing the test paper. After handing in her paper, she left the school gate.

Then she saw Aunt Zhang sitting nearby, and quickly said, "Aunt Zhang, I think I’m about to give birth."

Aunt Zhang quickly stood up to support her and said, "I knew it would happen today; let’s hurry to the hospital."

Since Shen Mu hadn’t come over yet, Aunt Zhang was ready to ride her bicycle with Jingqiu to the hospital.

They hadn’t gone far when they saw Shen Mu rushing over on his motorbike.

"Aunt Zhang, Second sister-in-law, what’s the matter?"

"Your second sister-in-law is going to give birth, Ah Mu, go home quickly and get the things, Yiyi and I have prepared everything, it’s in the living room."

Just as Shen Mu was about to turn around, seeing Aunt Zhang taking her on the bicycle and thinking it was impractical, he quickly said, "Aunt Zhang, I’ll first take my sister-in-law back to the hospital, and you go get the things. It’s faster this way."

Aunt Zhang thought for a moment and said, "All right."

Jingqiu endured the pain and got onto Shen Mu’s bike, hurrying to the hospital.

Luckily, it wasn’t too serious yet. Upon arriving at the hospital, Shen Mu frantically went through the hospitalization process. The obstetricians felt her belly and said, "It will be a while yet. Family members should buy her something to eat; she won’t have the strength during childbirth if she doesn’t eat."

"Okay, I’ll go buy some right now."

Shen Mu, who had never experienced something like this, had a solid build himself and was even more anxious than Jingqiu.

"Second sister-in-law, I’m going out, what will you do?"

Jingqiu smiled and said, "I’m fine, the doctor said, I don’t even know when the labor will start."

Her contractions were not very serious right now.

Seeing this, Shen Mu quickly went to the cafeteria to buy something.

As a result, he bought a portion of rice.

When Aunt and Aunt Zhang rushed over, they looked at Shen Mu disapprovingly, "Go buy some eggs and get some lukewarm water to cool down. The eggs can be taken into the delivery room, and she can eat them when she’s running out of energy."

Then they turned to Jingqiu and asked, "Qiuqiu, how are you feeling now? What’s the situation?"

"The pain comes and goes. The doctor said to wait," she replied.

Aunt Zhang added from the side, "Giving birth is like this, we shouldn’t be nervous."

How could Jingqiu not be anxious? Although her family was with her, she wished her husband was by her side even more.

It was after four in the afternoon that they arrived, and although her belly was hurting earlier, now the pain was gone. Everyone was nervous.

The doctor had her do a blood test and fetal monitoring, which turned out fine.

The older doctor also checked if her fetal position was correct.

The absence of noise now just meant it wasn’t time yet, allowing them to wait at ease.

If it doesn’t happen tonight, it’ll be tomorrow.

A collective sigh of relief was breathed by the group.

Aunt Zhang said, "Ah Mu, Aunt Zhang, you two should go back first, rest for a while, and come back tomorrow. Looking at Jingqiu’s condition, it seems we’ll have to wait until tomorrow."

Aunt Zhang said, "What if it happens tonight? I’d better stay, two people won’t be in such a flap. Ah Mu, you go back first, come back tomorrow and let Grandpa know, so he can rest easy, too."

"Okay."

There were three beds in their ward, one of which was occupied by someone like her, who hadn’t given birth yet, while another had already given birth.

It seemed they would be discharged tomorrow.

Lu Jingqiu lay in bed, watching the scene of that family playing with their child, and eventually fell asleep watching.

When she woke up, she found a broad hand holding hers.

She moved slightly and opened her eyes, unexpectedly seeing Jiang Nanzhou looking at her with worry: "Nanzhou?"

"It’s me, wife. I’m back."

Lu Jingqiu’s eyes instantly reddened, tears streaming uncontrollably. Knowing it was nighttime, she didn’t dare make much noise and wiped away her tears.

Jiang Nanzhou also hurried to help her with the tears: "Good girl, sorry for the hardship. Luckily, I made it in time."

Lu Jingqiu, noticing the absence of Aunt Zhang and her paternal aunt, and that the pregnant women on either side were asleep, feared disturbing them.

Jiang Nanzhou helped her to the corridor outside the door, and it was only there they discovered that Aunt Zhang and her paternal aunt had fallen asleep on the chairs in the corridor.

Jiang Nanzhou supported her to the restroom first, and after coming out, he hugged her in the stairwell where there was no one around.

Only then did Lu Jingqiu say, "How come you came back at this time, did you finish your exams?"

"Yes, this afternoon during the exam, Dad had a car waiting for me outside the school. As soon as I left the school, we rushed here. We got home after ten, and only then did I learn you had been hospitalized."

"Oh, wasn’t it Xiao Zhang, the security guard?"

Jiang Nanzhou laughed: "It was him."

"He just escorted Grandpa back not too long ago."

"It’s all right. There’s no rush this time. He said he’ll wait until after you give birth to leave, to inform Dad. Dad might get a holiday in two weeks and will come to see you and the baby then."

"That’s great. And you, it’s so good you came back. I was really scared this afternoon."

"Don’t be afraid, your husband is here with you. Our baby will be here soon."

Jiang Nanzhou’s arrival indeed settled Lu Jingqiu’s nerves considerably. The next morning, her stomach began to hurt again.

This time she was directly taken to the delivery room, and by about ten past ten, she gave birth.

Not very chubby, but a healthy five pounds and eight taels, wrinkly and red all over.

When Lu Jingqiu left the delivery room, she was so exhausted she had no strength left.

Jiang Nanzhou lifted her onto the hospital bed, Aunt Zhang held the baby, and her paternal aunt quickly wrapped a scarf around her head.

A long strip of sanitary paper was laid beneath her.

The baby was due to be vaccinated right after birth.

But first, the hospital bathed the baby, and after cleaning up Jingqiu, her paternal aunt and Aunt Zhang took the baby to queue for a bath.

After the bath, the baby would be vaccinated in the afternoon, and they could be discharged tomorrow.

"Qiuqiu, our little Eighth Taels of Silver has been born, the doctor says he’s very healthy."

"I only saw the doctor weigh him. Does he look like you or like me?"

Jiang Nanzhou was stumped: "I don’t know either, are you tired? Sleep for a while, and when the baby comes back, you can see for yourself."

"Okay."
