After Transmigration, She Sold Herself to a Man as a Wife

Chapter 161

After receiving permission, Luo Ge hurriedly brought Qiu Niang to prepare things: supplements for Mian Mian and small gifts for the baby in her womb.

They also brought some of the delicious snacks that Gu Jinchen had gathered for her. Mian Mian shared her love for food just as much.

"Husband, let's go, let's go."

After finishing their preparations, they hastily brought Gu Jinchen along to find Qin Mianmian.

Everyone was from the same village, and Li Qiao's family wasn't far from the Gu household.

It normally took just a few minutes to walk there, but Luo Ge was slowed down by her pregnant belly.

Unexpectedly, before they even reached Li Qiao's house, they met Li Qiao himself.

He had returned from a small path, holding two fish in his hands, seemingly just back from the river.

"Jinchen, Sister-in-law, why have you come?"

This place was only about a hundred meters from Li Qiao's home. Seeing them walking towards his house, Li Qiao immediately realized they were coming to visit.

"We came to see how Mian Mian has been doing lately."

Hearing Luo Ge mention his wife, Li Qiao smiled happily and shook the fish in his hands.

"She's doing well. In fact, she asked me to catch some fish today to make fish soup. You should stay and try my cooking."

After a brief exchange, they walked towards Li Qiao's small courtyard.

"Ow..."

Unexpectedly, just as they reached the door, they heard Qin Mianmian's pained cry from inside, startling everyone. They hurried inside.

They saw that Qin Mianmian had already collapsed on the ground in pain, her water breaking.

"Wife!" Li Qiao was immediately panic-stricken at the sight.

"Quick, call the doctor! And the midwife we arranged earlier, call her too," Luo Ge reacted quickly.

"Help Mian Mian back inside, boil water, prepare clean cotton cloth."

The other Sisters-in-law had taught Luo Ge these things before, and she quickly recalled them.

"Li Qiao, you stay with your wife. I'll go call for help. I can go by horse and be faster!" Hearing this, Gu Jinchen looked at Li Qiao and decisively said.

In this situation, Li Qiao couldn't leave.

When they had arranged for the midwife earlier, Gu Jinchen had gone with Li Qiao so he wouldn't be left clueless.

Now, he could finally be useful.

"Okay."

Following Luo Ge's words, Li Qiao hurriedly carried Qin Mianmian back into the room.

After calming Qin Mianmian down, he went to prepare the necessary items.

Fortunately, they had been prepared, and everything needed was available at home.

"Luo Ge, I'm scared," Qin Mianmian had turned pale from the pain, gripping Luo Ge's hand tightly and trembling.

This was Luo Ge's first time experiencing this situation too, and she was just as panicked inside.

But seeing Qin Mianmian's condition, she still smiled to calm her down, leaning over to wipe the sweat from her forehead.

"It's okay, don't be afraid."

"We're all here. The doctor will be here soon, don't worry."

Hearing Luo Ge's words, Qin Mianmian nodded, but the pain made her clench her teeth immediately.

Seeing this, Luo Ge's heart tightened too.

Remembering something, she quickly poured a cup of water and mixed it with her spatial spring water.

"Drink some water to ease your mind first."

Following Luo Ge's words, Qin Mianmian drank the entire cup of water.

...Meanwhile.

"Sister-in-law, Li Qiao's wife is in labor. My wife and I went to visit her, and we happened to arrive just as she was in terrible pain.

I'm going to find the doctor and midwife now, but it may take some time before I return. If possible, could you please go over and help out for now...?"

On his way to fetch a horse, Gu Jinchen suddenly remembered something and quickly turned to find Wang Sister-In-Law in her workshop, explaining Qin Mianmian's situation to her.

The four of them were all new to this, and no matter how much they had learned, it was nothing compared to practical experience. They needed someone experienced to take charge.

"Alright, I'll head over right away. You be careful on your way to find help, and hurry back!"

Because of her relationship with Luo Ge, Wang Sister-In-Law had also become quite close with Qin Mianmian, and they were good friends.

Hearing Gu Jinchen's words, Wang Sister-In-Law was naturally worried too.

After speaking, she quickly put down her work and rushed towards Luo Ge and the others.

Luo Auntie and Aunt Zhang also hurried along after hearing the news.

...Meanwhile, after drinking the water Luo Ge had given her, Qin Mianmian's condition had eased slightly, but the pain persisted.

Luo Ge could only comfort her and wait for the midwife to arrive.

"Luo Ge, Mian Mian."

It was at this moment that Wang Sister-In-Law and the others arrived.

Seeing them, Luo Ge felt relieved. "Sister-in-law, please come in."

"Oh my!"

Upon entering and seeing Qin Mianmian's condition, Wang Sister-In-Law and the others exclaimed in shock.

"It seems labor has already begun. We may not be able to wait for the midwife."

After speaking, Luo Auntie turned to look at Qin Mianmian, then at Li Qiao who had just brought water.

"Do you trust us? If you do, let us handle it first. In this situation, we may not be able to wait any longer."

Qin Mianmian could also sense her own condition.

"Okay, thank you all for your help."

Luo Auntie and Aunt Zhang were both experienced villagers who had assisted in childbirth before. Hearing their words, Qin Mianmian didn't hesitate and nodded through gritted teeth.

Li Qiao also nodded in agreement upon hearing this.

"Alright, then Qiao, you go wait outside."

During a woman's childbirth, men had to stay away. Li Qiao, who had just entered, was immediately sent out.

Luo Ge's condition was delicate, so to avoid any distress, the aunties also sent her out to wait.

While the two waited outside, Gu Jinchen also arrived with the doctor and midwife.

Hearing the commotion inside, the midwife hurried in, while the doctor waited outside to prepare medicine.

Unable to sit still listening to his wife's cries of pain, Li Qiao took the opportunity to squeeze inside as well.

Wang Sister-In-Law and the others didn't manage to stop him, as Qin Mianmian seemed to rely on his presence, so they allowed it.

Outside, only Luo Ge and Gu Jinchen remained, anxiously waiting.

"Husband." Hearing the sounds from inside and recalling Qin Mianmian's earlier condition, Luo Ge couldn't help but worry.

Gu Jinchen patted her hand and led her to a nearby chair.

"Don't worry, the midwife, doctor, and the aunties are all there. Everything will be fine."

Although he said these words, the sounds from inside made him uneasy too, and he instinctively pulled Luo Ge closer, holding her tightly.

..."Wah~"

Finally, after an anxious wait of over an hour, the cries of a newborn infant resounded from within.

As the wails echoed out, everyone in the courtyard simultaneously heaved a sigh of relief.
