The Evidence in Peng Kun's Hand

"As for the childbirth complications back then, it's not your grandfather's or my fault. Your father is the eldest son, and we've always cared a lot about your mother. Naturally, we were eagerly anticipating a first grandchild from the eldest son, so even her slightest discomfort made us start worrying about her pregnancy. We were afraid that something might go wrong without us knowing. Despite our concern, she only found out she was pregnant when she was over four months along. It was when her stomach started hurting badly, and she urgently called the village midwife. We requested an extended leave from the village chief for your mother, and for the next five months, we didn't allow her to do any hard labor, not even the heavy chores at home.

Little did we know, she would experience uterine contractions early at home.
