Contract Marriage: Billionaire and His Deaf Wife-Chapter 1155: Your Son Is Alive (2)

Seeing that this old lady insists on having her own way no matter what, the others stop wasting their breath on her and go off to make preparations. A C-section, if done quickly, can have the baby out in half an hour, and the baby will need immediate care.

Gu Nuan’s mom feels a bit remorseful, realizing she should have brought the baby clothes she had prepared earlier at home over here. Her daughter had mentioned over the phone that everything was going smoothly, with the due date next month, so she decided to wait until next time.

Gu Nuan herself was sure to prepare for the baby’s arrival in advance, arranging everything neatly in one room.

Xiao Yebai went over with his in-laws to check things out. As a first-time father and with his wife being a first-time mother, they certainly lacked the experience of in-laws who had already raised two children.

Gu Nuan’s mom surveyed the items prepared by her daughter, saying: "Everything’s done by the book, not missing a thing."

"If anything’s lacking, I’ll go buy it," Xiao Yebai immediately offered.

Gu Nuan’s dad held back his son-in-law who was turning to leave, stating: "Come back. You need to stay here with Nuannuan and the baby. If anything needs to be bought or done, I’ll handle it. You wouldn’t know what’s most suitable, but I do. At this moment, Nuannuan and the baby need you the most, you can’t go anywhere."

Taking heed of his father-in-law’s words, Xiao Yebai turned to signal Zhan Dapeng: "Old Four, accompany my in-law to buy things."

Zhan Dapeng and Zhang Sanfeng, having come all this way, stayed on to lend a helping hand too.

The old lady protested about going her own way, refusing to engage with this group. Yet, seeing everyone bustling around so lively, she started feeling anxious about being left out.

Xiao Shuju happened to grumble nearby, "What if they don’t let us see the baby after it’s born? I want to see the baby call me Auntie early on. It’s my first time being an aunt."

With this, the old lady grew anxious: "Would they dare not have the baby call you Auntie?"

Xiao Shuju turned back to the old lady and replied: "There’s no telling, Grandma. They say the first person the baby sees upon opening its eyes becomes the closest, while the last one becomes the most distant. Besides, they’re all preparing stuff for the baby now. We’ve got nothing—"

"What do they know?" The old lady, feeling a surge of emotion, leapt up from her chair, "Without my guidance, can it even work? I’ve raised a child myself, with several grandchildren too! Who has more experience in raising children than me!"

Xiao Shuju covered her mouth with one hand, stifling laughter in the old lady’s presence but finding it hard to bottle up her amusement.

The old lady quickly noticed, giving her back a pat and chided: "You rascal, turning to outsiders, I get you care for your brother, alright. Now hurry and help me upstairs. Once born, it’s a member of the Xiao Family, how could outsiders get the upper hand."

As for the child’s surname post-birth, Gu Nuan’s parents really hadn’t given it much thought. They’re not old-fashioned people—no matter the surname, it’s their daughter’s kid, cherished by them equally.

While going upstairs, the old lady kept whispering that the child must have the Xiao surname, leaving Gu Nuan’s mom amused yet helpless. Who’s contending with you over the child’s surname?

But the old lady indeed had considerable experience raising many children. Upon reaching upstairs and seeing what Gu Nuan had arranged, she nodded in agreement with Gu Nuan’s mom’s perspective.

Immediately concluding, the old lady instructed Xiao Shuju: "Quickly head back, to my room. Right, find Uncle Tang, he knows where I’ve stored everything prepared. Not only items for the baby, but also what your sister-in-law will need, everything’s organized neatly. Your sister-in-law, while she arranged a lot for the baby, could still select a few items to use for herself as well. Yet, she seems not to have given much thought to what she’ll need. Post-birth is hardest on your sister-in-law. If postpartum confinement isn’t managed well, it may lead to lifelong health issues."
