Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife

"Brother!" Li Chenmo and Li Lingyun quickly held Li Chenze's arms to support him.

After he sat down, they gave him some warm water before he felt a little bit better. With a pale face, he pushed them away and went to the room.

Opening the door, he saw his wife lying weakly in his third sister-in-law's embrace with closed eyes. As fear surged in his heart, he rushed over and held her hands.

"Ah Mei, it's me. Don't fall asleep, okay? Open your eyes and look at me," he said with a trembling voice.

At this moment, Zhang Dongmei was feeling so sleepy. Her whole body was so sore that she wished to take it apart just for a moment of relaxation.

But when she almost fell asleep, she heard her husband's voice and forced herself to open her eyes. Meeting her husband's reddened eyes, she asked softly, "Husband, why are you crying?"

Li Chenze quickly wiped away his tears and said, "Wife, I'm not crying. I will stay here with you. Don't be afraid, okay?"

Zhang Dongmei nodded but couldn't reply to him. She was too tired.

Lu Jueyu observed her eldest sister-in-law and felt that her situation was not good. She didn't know much about the delivery process, but she knew that if the mother fainted, it was dangerous.

So, she quickly said, "Eldest brother, I brought some ginseng powder in my bamboo basket. Mix several spoons of the powder with a cup of warm water. My eldest sister-in-law needs to replenish her strength."

Hearing this, Li Chenze nodded and went out to get the ginseng powder.

After he left, Lu Jueyu turned to Pan Meijia and said, "Second sister-in-law, go check the midwife."

"O-okay," Pan Meijia nodded and quickly ran to the kitchen.

Now that they were alone in the room, Lu Jueyu took out a bottle made of a white jade from her space. She opened the lid and poured a red pill out.

These pills were found at the bottom of the pond in her space. She only found out about these pills after she dreamed about her father. She didn't know what the ingredients were, but she tried one before. After taking the pill, she no longer had any morning sickness.

Since there was no problem after eating the pill, she was sure that this pill was something given by her father. She pried open Zhang Dongmei's mouth and whispered, "Eldest sister-in-law, you have to hold on. Everyone is waiting for you."

She put the pill into her mouth and closed it. The moment the pill entered her mouth, it melted in less than five seconds. Feeling the soothing sensation in her mouth, Zhang Dongmei swallowed instinctively.

As she swallowed the pill, the warm energy entered her body. It circled her body two times before it entered her womb and was absorbed by the baby. The baby's previously weak heartbeat suddenly got stronger.

When she felt the soreness lessen, the midwife returned while holding a bowl of concoction. She handed the bowl to Lu Jueyu and said, "Quickly, feed her."

With Lu Jueyu's help, Zhang Dongmei finished the concoction. Not long after, Li Chenze and Pan Meijia returned.

"Wife, drink some ginseng water," Li Chenze said as he fed her some.

After drinking the ginseng water, Zhang Dongmei suddenly felt the pain of contraction and let out a cry, "Akh!"

Seeing this, the midwife said, "Push! Push harder."

Squatting at the bedside, Li Chenze held his wife's hand tightly. Ten minutes later, the baby was still unwilling to come out.

Seeing this, Lu Jueyu held Zhang Dongmei up and let her lean on her while the midwife used her hand to help push the baby down.

As she pushed her stomach, Zhang Dongmei's face turned paler than before. The pain was so unbearable that she let out a cry, "Aahhh!"

When he saw his wife was in so much pain, Li Chenze couldn't help but tear up. He was so focused on his wife that he didn't notice the blood on the back of his palm. Due to the pain, Zhang Dongmei gripped his hand so hard that her nail pierced his skin.

Not long after, the midwife shouted, "I can see the baby's head. Push harder!"

"Akkhhh!"

With Zhang Dongmei's cry, the baby finally came out. Feeling something slip out from her body, she felt so relieved.

The midwife was surprised when she saw the umbilical cord was around the baby's neck. She quickly freed the baby and patted the baby's butt several times.

After several slaps, the baby finally let out a loud cry, "Waaa! Waaa!"

Outside the room, everyone cheered when they heard the baby's cries.

Li Jingquan hugged his brother while shouting, "It's born! Our younger sibling was finally born!"

While he was usually brave, he was only an eight-year-old boy. When he saw basin after basin of water dyed red with his mother's blood, he was scared. Now that the baby was finally born, his mother would be fine.

As he felt relieved, he started to sob. Seeing his brother like this, Li Jingxu patted his back and said, "Ah Quan, it's okay now."

The midwife cut the umbilical cord and checked on the baby while Li Chenze finally burst out crying. He held his wife's hand and said, "Wife, we won't have another baby. This will be the last time."

Not long after, the placenta also came out. With the help of Pan Meijia, the midwife cleaned up the baby and wrapped her with a clean towel. She carried the baby to her mother and said, "Congratulations, it's a baby girl."

Hearing this, Zhang Dongmei said weakly, "Let me see my baby."

The baby was crying as if it was the end of the world, but the moment she was placed on her mother's chest, she stopped crying and fell asleep.

After kissing her daughter, Zhang Dongmei handed her baby to her husband. While Li Chenze carried the baby out, the midwife cleaned up her body and the room.

Lu Jueyu fed her more ginseng water before changing her clothes. Thirty minutes later, they came out of the room while Zhang Dongmei fell asleep.

Seeing them come out, Li Chenze asked, "Aunty, how is my wife?"
