Chapter 594: Childbirth (2)

Translator: Henvee Translations Editor: Henvee Translations

In ancient times, medical skills were rudimentary, and the process of childbirth was often likened to traversing the gates of h.e.l.l. Many women lost their lives during childbirth, fueling rumors among the people that an ominous aura pervaded the birthing chamber. Some believed in the presence of malevolent spirits or little ghosts within, plotting harm to the mother.

Due to these superst.i.tions, ordinary people were prohibited from entering the room where a woman gave birth, fearing contamination by the perceived evil energy. The midwife, astute to these beliefs, wisely refrained from uttering such notions during this critical time.

Su Bin, aware of these rumors, staunchly refused to entertain such ideas. Even if there were spectral threats, he insisted on standing by his wife’s side to protect her.

“Governor Su…”

The midwife sought to persuade Su Bin, but he cut her off. “Don’t say anything else!”

“Mrs. su…”

The midwife turned to Qin Zhenzhen.

“Let him stay.”

Qin Zhenzhen didn’t object to Su Bin remaining by her side. His presence brought an inexplicable sense of rea.s.surance.

Resigned, the midwife had no choice but to let them be.

As the moment of childbirth approached, the midwife encouraged, “Mrs. Su, push harder!”

Su Bin, holding Qin Zhenzhen’s hand, provided words of encouragement.

“Wife, you’re doing great!”

A robust cry from the newborn pierced the night.

Qin Zhenzhen felt a wave of relief. Their child, born to her and Su Bin, had arrived, and from the robust cries, she sensed the baby’s health.

The delighted midwife exclaimed, “Congratulations, Governor Su. Mrs. Su, it’s a chubby little boy!”

Su Ning, who had anxiously waited outside for hours, leaped with joy.

“Fifth Brother, Fifth Brother! Did you hear that? We’ve got a new nephew!”

Su Cheng shared in the happiness. “The moment I heard that first cry, I knew it was a nephew!”

Eager to meet their new family member, the siblings tried to enter but were halted by Grandma w.a.n.g.

“If you go in now, you’ll cause a disturbance.”

The midwife carefully swathed the newborn in a clean cotton cloth and presented him to Su Bin.

After a few cries, the baby ceased and gazed at his parents.

Su Bin tenderly held the child and positioned him for Qin Zhenzhen to see.

Qin Zhenzhen smiled, “What a beautiful baby, he takes after you.”

Unable to contain his joy, Su Bin spoke to the newborn, “Kid, remember today as the day your mother endured for you. Henceforth, be filial to her every year.”

Amused, Qin Zhenzhen pinched Su Bin’s waist. “Why are you so loud? Don’t scare him.”

Su Bin grinned, “Does he look frightened? This kid looks calm. You can tell he’s mischievous at first glance.”

“Can you really tell he’s mischievous just by looking at him? Do you think he inherits my personality?”

The previous owner of Qin Zhenzhen’s body had been a.s.sertive from a young age, often reducing neighborhood children to tears with her domineering ways, thanks to the doting of her four older brothers.

Su Bin clarified quickly, “Wife, you’ve misunderstood! If he takes after your personality, I’ll be delighted.”

“Let’s hope he doesn’t inherit his father’s personality. It’s not a good one.”

He had been cold and aloof since his youth.

Later on, due to an unexpected family crisis, her life took a challenging turn. Enduring three days without food further intensified her already cold and extreme personality.

In truth, much of his life was shrouded in darkness.

Fortuitously, he encountered his wife.

Her optimistic nature proved contagious, acting as a beacon of light in his shadowed existence.

It was his wife who rescued him from the depths of despair, infusing his bleak side with the warmth of sunlight.

In any case, his wife was the salvation he found in this lifetime.

For the remainder of his days, he would hold deep grat.i.tude toward his wife

and treat her with the utmost care.

“Wife, thank you!”
