Rebirth to a Military Marriage: Good Morning Chief

1167 Going to Deliver the Babies

Was this still a gift?

Damn. This was obviously a highway robbery!

That was too vicious!

The auntie said, “Everyone knows the current gold price. Although there are geographical differences, the prices will not deviate too much. She told us this figure now, but won’t we find out when we receive the gold jewelry?” Is it meaningful to tell such a lie? It will be exposed too easily, no?

Qiao Nan gave a wry smile. “My mom will not admit it even if I see through her ploy. At most, she will throw me words and tell me to take it that I am being filial to my parents by giving more money than the actual cost. We can forget about getting back the money after it goes into her pocket. Most likely, my dad doesn’t have anything to do with this 6,700 yuan.”

Her father would not be able to bring himself to buy something for his maternal grandchildren and then call his daughter to ask for twice the sum of money spent. “If I did not guess it wrong, my mom made this call behind my dad’s back. My dad is not aware of it.”

In other words, if she really subsidized this 6,700 yuan, it would end up in her mother’s pocket. Her father would not have the chance to touch a single cent of it.

“To gain something without risking anything of one’s own!” Zhai Hua took her hat off to Ding Jiayi. Earning so much despite not putting in any capital. Since Ding Jiayi was so high and mighty, why was she not in heaven?!

Zhai Hua, who had been ‘traumatized’, drank some water to calm herself down. “Qiao Nan, how are you going to handle this matter?”

She could not accept it if they were to really going to pay Ding Jiayi 6,700 yuan.

Zhai Hua was furious. As the party concerned, Qiao Nan was extremely calm. “There is no hurry in this matter. My dad is the one who paid for these items. Even if I really want to subsidize, I will pay my dad. I didn’t receive a single cent from my dad when I got married. The problem is that my dad still has another lady to marry off.”

Regardless of how much money her father spent, she had to pay him back.

Qiao Zijin was going to get married one day and she would demand a lot of dowries. When the time came and her parents could not afford the dowry, she did not want a situation of Qiao Zijin blaming her and saying that she had spent all the family’s money.

Zhai Hua was breathing more normally now. “I agree. We will do that then.” They should pass the money to Uncle Qiao. No matter how muddleheaded Uncle Qiao was, he was much better than Ding Jiayi.

At the very least, Uncle Qiao was not the type of person who would take other people’s money for granted or liked to ask for the sky.

After discussing the situation of the Qiao family, Qiao Nan’s expression changed. She placed her hands on her womb and panted continuously.

“Why? Are you going to give birth soon?” Zhai Hua asked as she held on Qiao Nan nervously.

Qiao Nan had been pregnant for eight months. The Zhai family, especially Zhai Hua, had simply gone into a state of alertness. Zhai Hua dared not leave Qiao Nan’s side at all.

“Sister Zhai Hua, don’t be nervous. I don’t think I am giving birth soon. It’s just the Braxton-hicks contraction during pregnancy. I’ll be fine after a while.” This was not the first time that Qiao Nan encountered the situation. Hence, she did not panic.

She had done so much research. Qiao Nan was aware that unless she was bleeding or the water bag had broken, it was not the symptoms of childbirth.

“It has been tough on you.” Looking at Qiao Nan’s high and tall womb, Zhai Hua’s heart ached for Qiao Nan.

The longer a child remained in the mother’s womb, the stronger he would become.

The babies were so fortunate. It was just that it had been tough on Qiao Nan, this biological mother.

Qiao Nan had been very careful during her pregnancy. In two lifetimes, she finally had a child. No one placed greater importance than Qiao Nan on the children in her womb.

However, no matter how careful Qiao Nan was, the situation of having twins was too difficult. When it was the end of September, Qiao Nan, who was reading, suddenly felt wetness below her buttocks. She reached out and touched it.

The water that she touched felt different. This made Qiao Nan’s heart and liver tremble. “Sister… Sister Zhai Hua!”

Qiao Nan’s trembling and off-pitched voice summoned Zhai Hua. “What happened? I have finished cutting the fruits. Try it and see if it tastes good?”

“Sister Zhai Hua, my… my water bag broke. I… I am going to give birth!” No matter how calm she normally was, when this moment really came, Qiao Nan was so scared that her face turned as white as a sheet. She almost cried out. “Sister Zhai Hua, it’s not nine months yet. How come?”

She had thought that her children would stay in her womb for a longer time!

“Don’t panic. Don’t be afraid. You are already doing very well. Remember that the doctor said that some pregnant ladies have premature births seven or eight months into their pregnancy despite having only one child in the womb. Many babies were born nine instead of the full ten months into the pregnancy, and these children are all very healthy. You’re doing very well. I will be by your side. Nothing will happen to you. The babies and you will be alright.”

Zhai Hua was also in a flurry. Her mind seemed to have been entangled.

In the past, when she carried out missions, Zhai Hua did not even blink when she shot the enemy dead personally. Her sister-in-law was going to give birth soon, and Zhai Hua’s tanned face actually turned whitish. “Auntie, quickly… quickly call the hospital. Also, get the chauffeur to drive the car out. We are going to the hospital immediately!”

She should not have allowed Qiao Nan to be so willful. When Qiao Nan was nine months’ pregnant, she should have arranged for Qiao Nan to be hospitalized to prepare for childbirth. Clearly, the doctor had reminded them that Nan Nan was carrying twins and would certainly give birth earlier.

At this moment, Zhai Hua dared not drive the car at all. She could only get someone else to drive it.

She was afraid that she would be too worried about Qiao Nan and the children, and if her hands were to tremble, something would happen when she was driving.

“Zhai Hua, I have already contacted the hospital. Once we arrive at the hospital, Nan Nan can enter the delivery room. Should I help you hold on to Nan Nan as we leave the house?” The auntie was in a much better state than Zhai Hua. However, it was inevitable that she also felt nervous.

It was really because Qiao Nan and the children in her womb were too precious. They could not afford to have an accident.

Qiao Nan disliked staying in the hospital. She hated the smell there. As soon as she stepped into the hospital, she would pant and feel suffocated. That was the reason that she insisted to stay at home to care for her pregnancy despite being nine months pregnant.

However, to play safe, Zhai Hua made Qiao Nan move from the second to the first floor of the house. That would save the trouble and danger of Qiao Nan having to go up and down the stairs. Hence, the auntie dared to volunteer to support Qiao Nan outside with Zhai Hua.

Zhai Hua shook her head. “No need. I have a lot of strength. I can carry Qiao Nan alone. Help us open the door.”

This was the first time Zhai Hua carried someone in this way. She had given this ‘hug’ to Qiao Nan and the latter’s babies.

Seeing that there was really water on Qiao Nan’s seat, Zhai Hua was so scared that her arms’ strength increased.

Zhai Hua carried Qiao Nan into the car. The auntie was holding Qiao Nan’s belongings. “Alright. Quickly make your way to the hospital. Remember, fast and steady. Understand?”

“Understood.” The chauffeur looked strict and solemn. He then displayed his driving skills and steadily rushed to the hospital as fast as he could.

Zhai Hua carried Qiao Nan down the car. The nurses in the hospital were already waiting at the entrance with the hospital bed.

“How is it?” Besides the nurses and doctor, Tian Dong was also standing by the bedside. Tian Dong received the call of Doctor Wei, his old classmate cum senior, and rushed directly from the company to the hospital.
