Chapter 709: Having a Son and a Daughter
After Qin Juan became pregnant, Lin Chuxia also gave her Mr. He’s Chinese medicine prescription, reminding her to regulate her body so that she would suffer less when giving birth.

Qin Juan didn’t take it seriously. Besides, she was busy with work at the hotel and didn’t want to smell like Chinese medicine every day, so she only drank two doses of Chinese medicine at the beginning.

I didn’t expect it to be even shorter than my own labor.

Doctor Wang smiled and explained, “Your sister-in-law is giving birth to her second child. Of course, it’s different from your first child. Second births are fast, and their cervix was already dilated when they arrived at the hospital.”

Lin Chuxia came back to her senses and thanked Dr. Wang with a smile.

No matter what, it’s better to have a baby quickly.

The faster you give birth, the less suffering you will suffer.

And she gave birth to a boy, so now the eldest sister has both a son and a daughter, making a perfect family.

Lin Chuxia and Qin Yang went to the ward with ease. Before they reached the door, they heard laughter coming from inside.

Then came the accusatory voice of Mrs. Jia, “Lower your voice. Don’t scare my eldest grandson with your loud voice.”

Jia Liang spoke in a loud voice with a smile on his face, “Don’t worry, mom. He won’t be scared. I’m his father. Even if he’s timid, he can become a brave man by listening to my voice every day. Don’t you think so, Juanzi?”

Old Lady Jia said, “Alright, alright, even if your son is not afraid, you should stop talking. Juanzi just gave birth to a child, her Qi and blood are weak, she needs to rest well, let her close her eyes for a while, sleeping is the best way to replenish Qi and blood.”

“Okay, I’ll hold the child and stay by your side. Juanzi, you can go to sleep for a while. Don’t worry, I’ll take care of the child.”

Old Lady Jia said, “Stay aside. You are clumsy and weak, how can you take care of a child? Give the child to me and you go take care of Juanzi.”

Jia Liang, “Mom, I can look after Juanzi even if I am holding the baby. I can take care of her…”

When Lin Chuxia and Qin Yang came in, they saw Jia Liang holding the child. His posture was a little funny, even stiffer than the posture when Qin Yang held Xiao Qiqi. He held the child with both hands as if he was holding a bomb.

Even so, facing the look in Old Lady Jia’s eyes where she wanted to hold the child, he refused firmly.

If I wasn’t afraid of dropping the child, I would have lifted him above my head.

But Old Mrs. Jia loved her grandson so much that even though she wanted to hug him, she was afraid that he would drop him. She stood in front of her tall son, staring with anxious eyes.

How could Qin Juan, who was lying on the bed, look like a woman who had just given birth? She was sitting there in high spirits, smiling at the mother and child with her lips pursed.

Seeing Lin Chuxia coming over, he asked her to sit over, but it looked like she was going to get out of bed.

Lin Chuxia hurried over to support her, “Sister, what are you doing? Are you going to heaven? Do you know that you just gave birth to a child?”

After she said this, Mrs. Jia and Jia Liang no longer cared about fighting over the child and came over.

Jia Liang held the child and stretched out his big bald head to ask, “Juanzi, what are you doing? Are you thirsty? If you are thirsty, let mommy pour you some water. If you are hungry, I will get you something to eat. Or do you want to go to the toilet? I will carry you there.”

“I’m not thirsty or hungry and I’m not going anywhere. I just want to get a glass of water for my brother and sister-in-law.”

“Come on, why do you need to do such a small thing? Just lie down on the bed,” Old Mrs. Jia pushed her down on the bed.

Lin Chuxia also disagreed, “Big sister, are you treating me as an outsider, or do you want me to see your strong physique? I’m just one step away from drinking your glass of water.”

Qin Juan smiled embarrassedly, “It was all subconscious action, I forgot that I had just given birth.”

Lin Chuxia: “…”

How good is this physical fitness?
Mrs. Jia smiled and said, “Your family members need to have a good talk with her. Your eldest sister just doesn’t take her body seriously. She had spotting this morning, and Liangzi said to send her to the hospital. She said she had experience and couldn’t give birth for a while. She even wanted to go to the vegetable market to stew fish for Ningning. I had to stop her. As a result, her stomach started to hurt after breakfast. It was already that time. We said to send her to the hospital, but she was not in a hurry. As a result, when she arrived at the hospital, her cervix was dilated and the baby’s head was about to come out. If it was a little later, she would have given birth halfway. See how dangerous this is?” Qin Juan was embarrassed by what she said, “I didn’t expect it to be so soon. When Ningning was born, it took most of the day.”

She didn’t want to mention her days at the Zhang family and just said it casually.

But she remembered in her heart that she was in pain for a whole day and night when Ningning was born, and she spent most of the day in the hospital.

Her cervix wouldn’t open and she was in excruciating pain.

But Mrs. Zhang and Zhang Wenbin thought she was troublesome and sent her to the hospital a long time ago, but she didn’t give birth to a child.

She knew that Mrs. Jia and Jia Liang were not that kind of people, and she really didn’t expect that having a second child would be so easy.

Jia Liang laughed from ear to ear, “My son is just like me, he has an impatient temper.”

It looked so worthless that no one present could bear to look at it.

………………

Qin Juan’s physical condition is indeed very good, even Dr. Wang is impressed.

She didn’t feel much discomfort after giving birth. The doctor helped her to drain the lochia twice. After she finished urinating, she could be discharged from the hospital and go home to recuperate. There was no need to continue observation in the hospital.

When Lin Chuxia heard that Qin Juan could be discharged from the hospital that day, she was not in a hurry to leave.

They drove here so they could take Qin Juan home.

As a result, the three adults left home in the morning, and before noon, the three adults and one child came back.

The room was made warm and cozy. Old Mrs. Jia asked Jia Liang to cook quickly while she made a cup of strong brown sugar water for Qin Juan.

She finally got to hold her eldest grandson in her arms, and now there was no one competing with her for him.

Even though the little guy was still sleeping soundly, the old lady still held him tightly.

She kept talking to Lin Chuxia, “I said Juanzi is lucky. Our Liangzi married Juanzi, and it’s all because of her. Look, it’s been less than two years since they got married, and they already have a son and a daughter. With the current strict policies, how many people can have both sons and daughters? If Liangzi hadn’t married Juanzi, how could he have such a good life?”

Jia Liang is a native urban hukou holder. According to current policies, urban hukou holders can only have one child, regardless of whether it is a boy or a girl.

What Mrs. Jia said was not an exaggeration.

But from another perspective, Qin Juan married Jia Liang for the second time with her child, and the Jia family not only did not hold any grudges, but instead felt that they had gotten a great bargain.

Only the Jia family mother and son can have such magnanimity. Qin Juan really made the right choice in marrying.

Lin Chuxia and Qin Yang had lunch at Jia’s house and then left.

No matter how good Qin Juan’s physical condition is, giving birth to a child consumes energy and blood, so she needs to rest and take good care of herself after the baby is born.

They can’t help here and will only delay her rest.

After leaving the Jia family, Qin Yang and Lin Chuxia went straight to Qinjia Village.

Lin Chuxia still had things to deal with in Ancheng County. After sending the mother and daughter back to Qinjia Village, Qin Yang could go back to the city to work early tomorrow morning.
