Chapter 80: Be mentally prepared for Chapter 80.

Susu had been experiencing frequent fetal movements lately and dared not drink too much water at night, fearing she would constantly need to wake up to use the bathroom.

Mrs. Su, worried her daughter-in-law might need help during the night, had simply moved in to sleep in the same room as Susu, along with the three siblings.

By March, only Susu and her in-laws were left in the house.

The three siblings had already started their school term and were reluctant to leave.

They didn’t want to leave grandma, Aunt/Third Aunt, nor Da Hei, who guarded the gate and the yard.

Originally, the father-son duo, who used to come back every weekend, had been busy with Police Station work since last week and hadn’t had time to return.

However, the father and son would still call home every other week to ask about everyone.

Just then, Mrs. Lu had just come in from outside after finishing a call, her face all smiles.

Father Lu, who had the day off, asked, “What did they say? You seem so happy.”

“It’s the same old things, nothing new.”

Mrs. Lu thought of the few words her second son had just said and disdainfully pursed her lips, annoyed that he had grown so tall yet only repeated the same few phrases.

“‘How are mom and dad doing? How is my wife’s health?…'”

Even seven-year-old Xiao Yu was more engaging. He kept endearingly calling for grandma to the point he nearly melted her heart and even reminded grandma and grandpa to eat well, take care of their health, and not overexert themselves.

Mrs. Lu glared at her husband, “The second child just inherited your blunt, bumbling nature. That’s why he suffers in silence.

So, it makes your biased mother and that ungrateful brother of yours take advantage of him. But let’s not talk about her and the eldest anymore.”

“There’s no point in discussing this now that your biased mother is gone, but it was indeed pitiful how hard the eldest had it growing up, suffering because of useless parents like us.”

Father Lu sighed, not understanding how his own mother could have treated them like that. They were all her children…

Ah, it doesn’t matter anymore since grandma has passed away, so what’s the point in bringing it up again.

Upon overhearing the old couple bickering, Susu sighed. Although she had heard from her elder sister-in-law and Lu Xiaoting about the hardships they faced after the family division in their early years,

no one besides those involved could truly understand or empathize with the hardship and pain.

Worried that Mrs. Lu might dwell on those upsetting thoughts, Susu diverted her attention by asking about childcare experiences.

This instantly made Mrs. Lu forget the recent argument, and she started explaining how to take care of a newborn.

Susu listened, confused, as it all went in one ear and out the other, and she eventually became so sleepy that she couldn’t stay awake any longer.

Seeing her daughter-in-law yawning, Mrs. Lu said with a helpless smile,

“Alright, if you’re sleepy, take a little nap. I’ll go cook, and it’ll be ready when you wake up.”

Provincial City

Lu Xiaomei hurriedly packed her handbag, a gift from her sister-in-law purchased from the Department Store, and rushed outside.

“Ouch!”

Two people collided as one entered and the other exited.

Lu Xiaomei, clutching her forehead and tearing up, said, “Nian Nian, are you okay? I’m so sorry, I didn’t see you there.”

“It’s okay, I was walking too fast too.”

Qiao Nian, holding his head and tearing up from the pain, asked, “Are you heading to your sister-in-law’s shop again?”

“Ah! I’m already late. I have to rush off now!”

By the time her roommate Qiao Nian reacted, she was already far away.

Qiao Nian stared in astonishment. She sure left quickly.

Lu Xiaomei currently managed the books for two shops plus a marinated goods courtyard, earning 35 yuan each month. Additionally, she made one yuan each day she worked part-time at a restaurant when not checking the accounts.

Her monthly expenses were limited to food alone, allowing her to save 30 yuan each month.

By her estimate, her elder sister-in-law was likely due to give birth soon.

Lu Xiaomei, after settling the accounts for several shops, rushed to the Department Store, thinking of buying something for her elder sister-in-law.

The nieces and nephews weren’t a worry, as long as the baby had food and drink. The main thing was what to pick for her elder sister-in-law?

Lu Xiaomei wandered all four floors of the Department Store, returning to school with a look of indecision on her face.

Police Station on the Second Road

Recently, several cases of burglary had occurred nearby. Although the items taken weren’t very valuable, they had caused panic among the local community.

The police at the station had heightened their patrols while trying to solve the cases quickly.

Although Lu Xiaoting was worried about his wife, he would focus all his attention on work whenever he was on duty.

The police profession was sometimes very dangerous, so he had to be extra vigilant.

Xiao Yu, though worried about his aunt, didn’t want to distract his uncle, and obediently went to and from school every day with the children of Police Song.

In the county,

Susu was awakened by bursts of pain in her abdomen.

The contractions had become more frequent lately. Assuming it was just another contraction, she didn’t want to wake her mother-in-law next to her and bit her lower lip to endure the pain.

Fortunately, the pain subsided after a while, leaving Susu sweating profusely and breathing a sigh of relief.

Mrs. Lu, half asleep, heard some noise and reflexively reached out beside her, touching a wet hand.

Startled, she sat up immediately and saw her daughter-in-law sweating profusely and in pain.

“What’s wrong, Susu? Why are you sweating so much?”

Hearing her mother-in-law’s trembling voice, Susu caught her breath, “Mom, my stomach hurts. I thought it was just a contraction, but now it’s quite severe.”

“Wait here, I’ll call your father to get the vehicle, and we’ll take you to the hospital right away. Don’t be scared.”

Mrs. Lu, without even taking time to dress properly, rushed in her undershirt to call Father Lu.

The elderly couple rushed about in a panic, helping Susu put on a sweater and cotton clothes with the aid of Mrs. Lu.

A thick layer of mattresses was laid on the tricycle, and Susu was helped into it while Mrs. Lu grabbed another layer to cover her.

Pulling down the tricycle’s hood, the family of three hurried directly to the county hospital.

“Whoo~”

Seeming to sense their owners’ tension, Da Hei was restlessly pacing back and forth in the yard.

“Doctor, doctor, my daughter-in-law is about to give birth.”

…

After a chaotic flurry, a very sweaty Susu was taken into the delivery room.

Father Lu and Mrs. Lu were so anxious they were pacing in circles, neither able to sit nor stand.

Soon, they heard a loud cry.

Father Lu and Mrs. Lu looked at each other, shaking their heads. It couldn’t have been that quick; there must be someone else in the delivery room.

“Where is Su Er Ya’s family?”

“What? My Susu gave birth that quickly?”

The doctor, with a stern face, scolded, “Why did you bring her so late? She nearly gave birth on the road.”

“What? How is my daughter-in-law? Is she okay?”

Seeing the genuine concern on their faces, the doctor’s tone softened a bit.

“The mother is fine, but the third of the triplets is very weak. You need to be prepared. Have you got the baby bundle ready?”

Mrs. Lu, in a daze, handed the bundle she was holding to the doctor.
