Liu Erlang was still immersed in the joy of his marriage and smiled every day. His eyes were shining and he seemed to have endless energy to work.
Tang An was about to give birth, so Liu Dalang did not go out and stayed at home to take care of her.
On the first of March, Tang An's waters broke.
Madam Wei asked Liu Dalang to call the midwife over.
Madam Wei was experienced in delivering babies. She asked Liu Sanniang to boil water and cook something for Tang An to eat later.
As for Madam Wei, she helped Tang An walk around the courtyard. When Tang An was in pain, they would stop to rest.
Madam Wei held Tang An's arm and said, "My good daughter-in-law, come, walk with me again."
Tang An was covered in sweat, her clothes were wet, and there were tears on her face. The pain in her stomach came wave after wave. She could not describe this feeling, but it was so painful that she wanted to cry.
