"Little Fifth, you accompany Dad and Mom back home. First, make some nutritious broth, with less oil and less salt, and send it upstairs. Also prepare several dishes fit for grown men to eat; at this time, they should all be hungry. Fifth, help Little Fifth when it’s time."
"Okay, Third Brother." Xie Jingzi suddenly remembered Qi Chunlan who had unhesitatingly shielded her and the Third Sister-in-law, and she nodded vehemently.
Qi Chunlan... Xie Jingzi didn’t even know how to describe her.
This person, using modern terms, would be called an idealist.
After Xie Jingchen had dealt with his family, he finally noticed Yan Jinsi and Yan Jinchang—the Yan brothers. Seeing Yan Jinsi’s pale and ashen face, his eyebrows furrowed, and he asked in a still gentle voice:
"Young Master Yan, are you feeling unwell? If you’re not feeling well, don’t hold it back. Don’t make your sister feel bad as well."
"Brother-in-law, it’s not that I’m feeling bad... it’s my sister." Yan Jinsi, upon hearing Zhang Shanni’s voice, suddenly felt a sharp pain in his pelvic bones... He actually had a sense of guilt as if he wanted to die!
Xie Jingchen raised his eyebrows; he really hadn’t expected this. He was afraid that Yan Jinsi’s pain might affect his own little wife, but he never thought that Yan Jinsi’s face looked so bad not because of his own problems, but because he was sensing his twin sister’s ’childbirth pain’ and he, too, was in the throes of premature birth...
"Is she... still okay?" Xie Jingchen paused for a couple of seconds before speaking.
"..." Yan Jinsi took a deep breath. Seeing his brother-in-law and the second brother both looking eager to know... Could he say that now, except for the pain making him feel like his manhood was shriveling up, he can’t sense anything else?
But thinking of his sister’s still resilient mood, he ultimately dared not mislead the two powerful men and honestly said:
"She’s... probably all right!"
"Mhm, it’s good if there’s nothing wrong. If you’re in too much pain, take a good rest." Xie Jingchen thought it over and could only respond like this.
It wasn’t that he lacked emotional intelligence, but this kind of experience similar to ’childbirth’ could only happen to Yan Jinsi and Zhang Shanni because they were actual twins, so they could have such a ’domineering’ condition inflicted upon them.
Yan Jinchang, hearing his little brother’s honest words, finally let out a sigh of relief. Seeing his little brother’s pained expression, he felt a sudden sense of joy—although it was still unclear how his sister was doing with the childbirth, as long as he saw his little brother’s face, despite it looking a bit pale, sitting quite steadily, he roughly knew that his sister inside was probably doing alright.
Unlike Zhang Shanni’s childbirth which still required some time, Qi Chunlan’s surgery went very well. The wound was found to be a laceration of a major intestine, and after suturing, as long as no inflammation occurs during the observation period causing complications, the surgery would be considered successful.
Don’t be fooled by the wound that’s only half a finger long, but because the dagger was dirty, cleaning it took a lot of effort.
Upon seeing Qi Chunlan being approved for discharge from the ward and learning that Qi Chunlan wouldn’t wake up anytime soon due to the anesthesia, Yan Jinhao finally went downstairs. Although he was concerned about his mother, his younger sister’s situation was also worrying him!
And just as he descended the stairs, he saw a nurse come out saying that a family member was needed to donate blood!
Hearing this, all four men present were startled.
"I’ll do it!"
Only his clenched fists, with veins standing out, betrayed his inner turmoil.
During the blood donation by the Yan brothers, the long-awaited cry of the newborn finally sounded!
"Waahh~~"
Just as Zhang Shanni felt something sliding out of her body, from her vantage point, she saw the nurse clean the newborn’s mouth of impurities and then gently pat its little bottom before the baby let out its cries.
Relieved at that sight, she suddenly felt a heavy sinking in her waist, and the searing pain came rushing back, causing her to straighten her back with her hands and let out a sharp "Ah—" cry.
"It’s born, it’s born! Both babies were born smoothly through natural delivery, how wonderful!" Doctor Hu personally delivered two bundles of joy, and seeing Zhang Shanni constantly looking downwards, she lifted her head to reassure her, smiling and saying, "Don’t worry, the children are doing great!"
With that, having already cleaned up the second baby, a gentle slap was delivered to the sister’s buttocks, and immediately, the same "Waahh" cry rang out, joining her brother in loud wailing.
"Congratulations, you’ve had a pair of dragon-phoenix twins!" Director Hu, upon seeing the two nearly identical babies, couldn’t even care about the blood on her hands, and together with another obstetrician, brought the two infants in front of Zhang Shanni.
Seeing another doctor looking after the babies, Director Hu, meeting Zhang Shanni’s gaze fixed on her, suddenly remembered the matter Zhang Shanni had reminded her of before giving birth, and quickly nodded at her.
This had all been taken care of while the other doctors and nurses were not paying attention—she had properly processed the umbilical cord blood.
After all, if you wanted to keep the placenta, it might be a bit conspicuous, but at this time, preserving umbilical cord blood really wasn’t anything particularly special.
