Chapter 135 Mother and child are safe
The most regrettable one is Ping'er, caught between the two, it must have been so hard for her.
Ping'er is the most loyal and understands Feng Jie. The two have a mutual respect. I saw a comment while watching TV that it would be good for Feng Jie and Ping'er to live together.
Looking at Jia Lian and Feng Jie, both of them prioritize profit. They were childhood sweethearts, so if there was any affection between them, there probably was.
However, Jia Lian later said that he would make You Erjie his official wife after Fengjie died, which made him seem very heartless and ungrateful.
If you say he truly loved You Erjie, then why did he abandon her after finding a new love, Qiutong?
After his second sister died, he started wailing and collecting old dresses as mementos. Isn't he just a complete scumbag?
Everyone frowned upon hearing this, and Jia She became even more annoyed. How could his son be like this? Did he have no redeeming qualities at all?
Is he just a clever little guy, or is he so lustful that he brings all sorts of people to bed?
How could a young master from a respectable family do such a shameful thing?
Jia Daishan frowned as well. No wonder Hu'er always complained that her younger brother was a troublemaker.
Judging from this, he's heartless, ungrateful, and promiscuous. He'll definitely get into trouble in the future. They need to discipline him severely. Their family can't afford to have such a scoundrel.
Jia Hu grew angrier the more he thought about it, and upon hearing Zhang's cry of pain, he continued to curse inwardly.
[That brat! If he dares to do that again when he gets out, I'll break his legs and see if he dares to do those things again. If he can't control himself, he might as well become a eunuch! That way he won't embarrass the Jia family.]
Hu'er's words made the men outside lose their composure; they found her words rather frightening.
The two younger brothers, upon hearing their older brother's long string of "Ula Ula," understood that the younger brother was a bad one.
My feelings of affection for my younger brother have dropped to their lowest point.
Jia Zhu was very conflicted. She had finally gotten a younger brother, so why did it turn out like this?
Hearing the last part, my eyes suddenly lit up again. My older brother was right!
If the younger brother is disobedient, punish him severely. The older brother once said, "Spare the rod and spoil the child."
Yes! Just beat that kid up. If he doesn't listen, I'll beat him hard. Anyway, he's younger than me.
After cursing in his heart, Jia Hu thought about his younger brother and wondered if he had any good qualities in him.
Oh! There are still some, although he started relationships and then abandoned them, he's a philanderer and a complete scumbag.
However, he still had his bottom line in some matters. Compared to Sister Feng's ruthlessness, Jia Lian was relatively more fair.
When his wicked father ordered him to go to Shi Daizi's house to get antique fans, he first went to the house and begged the other party to give them up, but the other party was also stubborn and refused, so he gave up.
Later, Jia Yucun, in an attempt to curry favor with the Jia family, found an excuse to imprison the man and confiscate his fan.
Later, Jia Yucun gave the fan to his simple-minded father, who then came to ask Jia Lian, "How did they get it?"
His younger brother, unusually, spoke a fair word: "To cause someone to go bankrupt over something so trivial—that's hardly an achievement!"
This one sentence undoubtedly slapped his own foolish father in the face, enraging him so much that his father beat him up severely.
If he, his younger brother, still had a shred of decency, then his father and several other people back then had absolutely no bottom line or limits.
In the end, this younger brother paid the price he deserved; after the Jia family's property was confiscated, he was sentenced to exile.
Jia Hu was feeling terrible and annoyed, so he wanted to beat his younger brother. He would beat him once a day, according to the amount of food he ate.
Others, hearing this, were also itching to grab their hands, wondering what kind of child this was and how he could grow up like this.
Looking around the courtyard, still no news had come. Jia Hu began to ponder. He couldn't keep hitting the child; how did Jia Lian grow up like this? After much thought, Jia Hu made up his mind.
My family of fools has no future; we'll all end up like a den of snakes and rats.
According to the future, before Jia Lian even leaves, his grandfather and he himself will be gone. Once he leaves, his mother will be gone, and his father and younger brother will grow up, and they will be no different from each other, both being lecherous men.
No one cared about him; even his own grandmother disliked him, preferring his second uncle's children and showing favoritism.
With her second aunt's deliberate arrangement, this guy, who's good-looking but useless at everything else, has become a housekeeper and is quite happy about it!
Seeing the gaze of his elder brother and father, Jia Zheng was about to kneel down. He truly had nothing to offer, and his wife was certainly not capable of doing so.
After being married for many years, he had long since realized that his wife was brainless.
At this moment, Jia Zheng felt that he had no words to say and really wanted to beg Hu'er to stop thinking about it and rest!
How can we change things? First of all, things are different now. Everyone has become much better. With Grandfather and Great-Uncle around, no evil or crooked things can happen.
Even his foolish father is different now; his younger brother won't do that this time.
Jia Hu affirmed, thumping his palm.
Jia She had already gotten used to his foolish father; fine, he was a fool.
Jia Zhen and Jia Zhu were imitating their elder brother's actions, and they also pounded their palms, feeling that the three brothers were too good.
Jia Hu frowned as soon as he saw Jia Zhen.
[Oh, I forgot, this was also a trump card. He was best friends with Jia Lian, sharing women—it's disgusting.]
Jia Zhen didn't understand what this meant, but he understood that his elder brother said he was disgusting.
Jia Zhen became withdrawn. How could his elder brother say such a thing about him? He himself was disgusted, but this brat of a brother was. He would beat his brother up in the future.
He didn't understand, but the elders did: What kind of children are these! They're all unfit for marriage.
Furthermore, after Zhen's younger brother, his second wife, You Shi, will also never be able to step into the Jia family's gate.
I don't like the women in the You family. Are they pitiful? Yes, they are. It's not easy for women to survive.
Compared to them, Jia Zhen, Jia Rong, and Jia Lian are utterly worthless.
It was the three of them who caused the deaths of Sister You Er and Sister You San.
Then there's Old Lady You, You's stepmother. She has no blood relation to You, but she's determined to use You and is using her two biological daughters to climb the social ladder. She's no good.
Since that's the case, let's avoid running into each other again.
Everyone should work hard and support themselves. As for Jia Zhen and his ilk, I'll deal with them myself. I'll make sure they're obedient and polite children.
Jia Zhen was scared, so he pulled Jia Zhu aside to bolster his courage, as he was somewhat frightened.
Jia Daishan was having a real headache. The Jia family was completely rotten; were there no good descendants?
Inside the house, Zhang Shi had not given birth by late at night, even though there had been no problems before. The skilled nurse had been watching Zhang Shi's condition and had someone feed her a few sips of ginseng soup.
The skilled nurse was still very confident. Zhang's baby was in the correct position, and in theory, the birth should have been smooth. However, the baby just wouldn't come out, but it's normal for childbirth to take a long time.
The skilled nanny, who had been observing the situation, comforted Zhang Shi, saying:
"Madam, I assure you there will be no problem. You've given birth before, so you should know that this hasn't been going on for too long. You must not rush things now and you need to conserve your energy. I'll tell you when to push, and then you can push."
The skilled nurse looked again and said, "No, it's not time yet; the baby can't come out."
Zhang nodded vigorously. She would listen to the skilled healer and everything would be fine. Her family was waiting for her outside!
The skilled nurse praised Zhang for her performance, saying she had seen too many people panic, become disobedient, and run out of strength when it came time to exert force. She was much more at ease knowing that Zhang was so cooperative and had such a stable mindset.
The skilled nanny sighed, marveling at Zhang's good fortune. In other families, when a daughter-in-law gives birth, the whole family stays outside to watch over her, some even without their husbands showing up. But look at the Jia family's tradition of keeping watch; that's the source of their confidence.
They waited until dawn. Jia She and Jia Hu, who were pacing anxiously outside, heard Zhang's screams of pain coming from inside the house. Both of them were so frightened that they couldn't move.
Grandmother Jia also squeezed hard, while Wang Shi kept chanting sutras to pray for her sister-in-law. At this moment, she also paused, for childbirth is truly difficult for a woman.
Jia Min had never heard of this before, and she was both scared and worried.
Jia Daishan was not allowed to enter the courtyard, and Jia Zheng was even less allowed to go. A group of men, along with three little children, were waiting outside the courtyard.
Logically and emotionally, Jia Zheng shouldn't be here, but everyone knows that Zhang's pregnancy is dangerous, and her sister-in-law has been taking good care of her. Besides, her father and elder brother are here.
Jia Daishan was worried about Jia Hu. He had seen Hu'er's recent behavior. His eldest daughter-in-law was a good one, much better than his own son.
The two younger brothers are always worried about their older brother. Wherever their older brother is, they are there too. That's what family is all about. And their aunt is also very kind and loves them very much.
Jia Daishan watched, Jia Hu stood there stunned, then stood up, went over and picked him up, holding him in his arms and comforting him.
"Hu'er, it's alright. Back when your father was born, your grandmother doted on him all day long, but look at your father, he's perfectly fine now."
Jia Zheng went to comfort the two frightened children, and then said to the old woman and maid:
"You, take the young master back first."
These shouts startled even adults, let alone two children.
Just after a cry of pain, the old women had already covered the ears of the two young masters.
The two younger ones disagreed; they had stayed up all night and had promised to stay with their older brother.
Hearing his grandfather holding him, Jia Hu felt a bit stronger. Hearing his younger brothers' protests, he said, "Brothers, you must behave and go back first."
He was so worried that he forgot about his younger brothers. They are too young now and have already stayed up all night. What if they are traumatized if they are hurt now?
Seeing their older brother's resolute attitude, the two younger children chose to obey and obediently went back home.
Jia Zheng was helpless; Hu'er's words were the most effective.
Seeing his older brother still in a daze, he went over and patted him on the shoulder.
After being hugged for a while, Jia Hu recovered and felt a little embarrassed. He wanted to get down, but Jia Daishan patted him on the shoulder.
"Hu'er, it's alright. You're still young. Your grandfather was worried about you not sleeping all night. You should rest for a while. Your grandfather is here and will keep an eye on things for you."
Besides, your grandmother, aunt, and other female relatives are all inside. Aren't you worried about them?
Jia Hu believed it, of course, but he was worried. He couldn't calm down until he saw that his mother was alright.
Inside the room, the skilled nurse directed Zhang to inhale, exhale, and exert force.
Zhang felt that giving birth to Jia Hu was not this difficult at all, and now she was also finding it somewhat strenuous.
The old woman next to him immediately fed him ginseng soup.
The skilled nurse, seeing that the baby's head was already out, quickly said, "Madam, push! The baby's head is out! Almost there, almost there!"
Zhang, having exhausted all her strength, made her last effort.
Finally, the baby was born. The skilled nurse breathed a sigh of relief. As soon as the baby came out, without the nurse patting its bottom, the baby immediately cried out loudly.
The skilled nurse, holding the child, showed it to Zhang and praised it:
"Madam, it's a young master. Look how energetic he is! His voice is loud and clear, and his face is just like his brother's—he's incredibly handsome."
Zhang looked at her wrinkled son with difficulty and smiled gently.
Zhang fainted after only one glance.
Xiao Jia Lian suddenly started crying again.
The old woman was startled and quickly went to check on Zhang Shi's condition. After carefully examining Zhang Shi, she found that she had just fainted and was otherwise healthy except for being a little weak. Only then did she feel relieved.
Hearing the baby crying, everyone outside stood up, incredibly excited.
The maid came out to announce the good news.
"Reporting to the old lady, the second madam, and Miss Min, the first madam has given birth to a young master, and both mother and child are safe and sound."
Everyone was overjoyed upon hearing this. Only when Grandmother Jia heard that mother and child were safe and sound did she feel relieved and say, "Good, good, good!"
When Jia She and Jia Hu, who were outside the courtyard, heard the baby crying, they rushed into the courtyard.
Hearing from the maid that the mother and child were safe, the two were finally relieved. Jia She was so excited that he almost cried and held Jia Hu tightly.
Jia Daishan and Jia Zheng, upon hearing this, were finally relieved.
The servants inside and outside the courtyard began to congratulate their masters.
Both Grandmother Jia and Jia Daishan were pleased and said:
"Everyone in the manor will be given two months' wages, and those guarding inside and outside the courtyard will receive an additional month's wages."
The servants were overjoyed to receive the reward money, and the entire Jia family was filled with happiness.
After the house is tidied up, Grandmother Jia and the other female relatives can go in to visit.
Little Jia Lian was carried away and Jia She and Jia Hu went to see him first, while Grandmother Jia and the others went to see Zhang Shi first.
Seeing Zhang Shi faint, Grandmother Jia asked anxiously:
"What's going on here?"
The skilled nanny smiled and said, "Madam, don't worry. Madam was just tired and fainted. I've already checked her over, and she's fine. Please don't worry, Madam."
Grandmother Jia was relieved and praised the skilled nanny highly. Her maidservant also presented her with a generous gift as a token of gratitude.
At this point, the host would give a thank-you gift, which was considered auspicious and could not be refused. The skilled healer did not stand on ceremony; after thanking them, she had her apprentice accept the gift.
