Adding a child to the family is a joyous occasion; every birth is cause for celebration.
But who ever heard of a midwife making a midnight call, insisting on silence?
Sensing something amiss, Lin Chunju's body wouldn't stop trembling.
Ma Shulin hurriedly offered comfort, "Big sister-in-law, don't worry. Let's go over to Ma Jinbao's place right now."
Yue Jiandong saw his mother about to collapse and promptly picked up Yue Qingqing from her arms, while supporting his mother with his other hand as they headed towards Ma Jinbao's house.
The woman who had been talking also realized something was wrong.
It was highly unusual for a child to be born without the maternal family being notified. There surely must be something fishy going on.
This woman was also known for her love of gossip, which was why she had struck up a conversation with Lin Chunju and the others.
She quickly called over a few sisters with a similar fondness for excitement, and they all followed along.
