The midwife had already cut the umbilical cord and was washing the baby in a basin.
After washing, she quickly wrapped the baby up and placed her by He Hua's pillow.
Then she started tidying up He Hua's placenta and the soaked bedding.
Yun Jiao and Yang Ying both came out.
Seeing Ah Tie outside, the two of them smiled and said, "Congratulations," then went downstairs.
Since the child's own mother wasn't even happy, their congratulations were a bit forced.
It was Ah Tie's first time being a father, and he was very excited. When the midwife finished tidying up and came out, he went in and gave her a red envelope with one tael of silver.
The midwife beamed with joy. Usually, only when a well-off family gave birth to a son could she get one tael.
For a girl, many times it was just a hundred or two copper coins for her trouble.
This man, though, was generous.
Taking the money, the midwife patiently told He Hua some things she needed to pay attention to, then left.
