Bab 130: Chapter 0130: Letter from Lu Jiang 2_1

Carrying a baby for ten months, only to give birth in a single moment.

Which mother doesn't look forward to that with joy?

A child dying moments after birth probably inflicts the deepest sorrow and heartache on the mother who carried him.

As fathers, as mothers-in-law, who haven't endured the misery of gestation, and haven't formed an emotional bond with the child, their sorrow comes across as quite confined in comparison. They soon manage to put it behind them.

Feng Qingxue saw such a situation when she went to visit Hongling.

Guo Guangcheng was at the doorway, sheltered from the wind and basked in sunlight, chatting with people. There was little trace of grief on his face. His mother was also present. Although she sighed repeatedly, she only talked about the child's lack of fortune, blamed Hongling for being useless, and about how she couldn't protect it despite carrying it for so long.

"It was a grandson, a weighty four and a half jins, who just died like that."
