MGASC -Chapter 54 Spoiling Her! A Rough Man’s Kind of Care

Zhang Qiao said, “No, I really think I’m fine now. The doctor said as long as there’s no more bleeding, and with the medicine she prescribed, I can go home and rest.”

“That won’t do!” Lin Tianyue cut her off decisively. “This is about the child—nothing could be more important. You’ll stay here obediently for a few more days.”

“A few more days?” Zhang Qiao looked around at the ward. Honestly, the hospital was far less comfortable than home. The doctor had already said there was nothing wrong—Lin Tianyue was clearly making a mountain out of a molehill.

“Then what about home? If I just stay here, who’s going to take care of Eldest, Second, and Third?”

“Don’t worry about that. I’ll have Da Lin go over. Those three are tough—no matter what, they can handle it.”

Zhang Qiao grumbled inwardly. This man really had a big heart. So what, kids you picked up don’t count as kids? Just let them ‘handle it’?

Knowing there was no reasoning with this rough guy, she suddenly had an idea. “How about we ask the doctor and listen to what she says?”

Only then did Lin Tianyue relent.

Before they even went to find the doctor, the doctor noticed the light was still on and came over to check. Seeing Zhang Qiao still in bed, she asked in confusion, “Why are you two still here? Didn’t I say there’s nothing wrong?”

Zhang Qiao replied quickly, “We’re leaving, we’re leaving right now…”

But Lin Tianyue covered her mouth with his big hand, stood up, and patiently suggested to the doctor, “Doctor, look—she’s had bleeding. Shouldn’t we admit her for observation and let her rest properly?”

The doctor frowned. “Admit her? Admit her for what? It’s not a big issue at all. If there’s nothing wrong, hurry home—don’t come crowding the hospital! Just remember to take the medicine I prescribed on time. There won’t be any problems. I guarantee that in a few months, you’ll give birth to a big, chubby baby boy!”

Zhang Qiao couldn’t help but want to laugh.

And at the same time complain—why couldn’t it be a big, chubby baby girl?

Lin Tianyue was scolded so badly his brows drooped, but he still wouldn’t give up. “Then… just one night, okay? She’s weak, and I really can’t feel at ease.”

Zhang Qiao: I really thank you so much. Lin Tianyue, enough already!

The doctor looked helpless. After thinking for a moment, she waved her hand. “Fine, stay if you want. Honestly—do you have too much money with nowhere to spend?”

Lin Tianyue didn’t care what others said. He insisted on getting the paperwork done to stay for one night of observation.

Luckily, hospital beds weren’t tight.

After finishing the procedures, he went out and called Da Lin, telling him to go home and bring some food for the three little ones. Then he contacted Chen Gang and asked him to check the source of that phone call.

Daring to bully his family—he was determined to teach them a lesson. Not a single one of them would get away.

With everything arranged, he took a walk around the market. There weren’t many stalls open at night, and even fewer selling food. Eventually, he went to a state-run restaurant and ordered chicken soup, two dishes, and several steamed buns for Zhang Qiao.

Knowing she liked things clean, he also specially bought two towels and a cup for drinking water.

Back in the ward, two more pregnant women were admitted one after another.

The room, which had been quiet, immediately filled up. One woman’s water had already broken, and she was pushed into the delivery room. Even from far away, they could hear her agonized screams during contractions.

Zhang Qiao got goosebumps listening to it. Especially thinking that in a few months, she’d have to give birth too—she felt utterly terrified.

Other people transmigrated into novels and became mothers painlessly. As for her? She had to give birth herself.

Did this era even have C-sections? But C-sections hurt too, right?

In an instant, she felt like this transmigration script wasn’t appealing at all anymore.

The other pregnant woman, wearing a floral shirt, was only newly pregnant and had come to stabilize the pregnancy. Hearing the screams next door, her expression grew even more solemn.

Only the pregnant woman’s mother-in-law acted like nothing was happening. She even sat on the bed cracking sunflower seeds, as if those screams had nothing to do with her.

Seeing the two women looking frightened, she even sneered at them. “What, scared? Oh please—don’t women all give birth like this? I’ve had six myself. By the time you get to the later ones, it’s no different from taking a dump!”

Zhang Qiao found the old woman utterly speechless. Forget not caring about her daughter-in-law—her words were downright crude. “You can’t say that. For women, giving birth is like walking through the gates of hell.”

The old woman shot her a strange look. “Tch! What woman doesn’t give birth? Once you give birth to a son, then you’ve made it through. Look at your belly—so skinny. Just one look and you can tell you’re destined to have a girl!”

Hearing that, Zhang Qiao knew right away—another old-fashioned fossil. “My family doesn’t have a throne to inherit. Why do I have to give birth to a son? What, did you give birth to a crown prince and become the empress?”

The old woman snorted angrily. “Stop being jealous. I say you can’t give birth to a son and you still get mad. Just wait and see—my daughter-in-law’s baby is definitely a son! That fox—doesn’t know a thing…”

“If you like sons so much, then where’s your son? Why are you the one running around here taking care of things? Doesn’t he know how to feel sorry for you at your age?”

“My son’s out making money. What’s he doing coming to a place as unlucky as the hospital? Isn’t your man not here either? Not only is your man gone, but where’s your mother-in-law? Nowhere to be seen—looks like nobody likes you.”

She meant to mock Zhang Qiao, but just then the door pushed open. A tall young man with deep brows and handsome eyes walked in. He looked strikingly good—so good that even the old woman stared, stunned.

Just as she was about to ask who he was looking for, Lin Tianyue walked straight toward Zhang Qiao and said with concern, “Hungry? I bought you something to eat—still hot. Hurry up and eat.”

He first put the toiletries he bought on the table, then opened the lunch boxes one by one.

Golden chicken soup, a simple stir-fried bok choy, braised beef with potatoes, plus several soft, white, plump steamed buns. In an instant, the ward filled with fragrance. Even the old woman and the other pregnant woman couldn’t help swallowing.

Thinking of what the old woman had said earlier, Zhang Qiao teased, “Why did you buy so much good food? Hey—this hospital is such an unlucky place. You’re a grown man, you really shouldn’t have come!”

Lin Tianyue was ladling chicken soup for her. He frowned and shot her a look. “What nonsense are you talking about? Unlucky my ass! You just stay here and rest.”

Zhang Qiao noticed that the pregnant woman on the other bed couldn’t help but smile.

The old woman’s face, on the other hand, twisted with displeasure. “Didn’t expect your man to care for you this much. Young man, have you had someone take a look? I was just saying—your wife’s too thin. From her face alone, she doesn’t look like someone destined to give birth to a son!”
