Bab 67: Chapter 67: Would Rather Be Childless Than Be a Tool for Carrying On the Family Line

The parturient had successfully given birth to a son at a quarter past nine, and both mother and child were safe.

She saw how happy the parturient's mother-in-law and aunt were when they heard the news, and she felt glad for the parturient.

If there had really been a problem, she figured these two probably wouldn't be sad for the parturient.

Because the joy of the newborn's arrival was enough to overshadow any sorrow brought about by an accident.

"She's a pitiable person, I heard she married into wealth. She wanted her natal family to come during childbirth but was rejected. They said it would bring bad luck. Her husband wanted to be with her, too, but her mother-in-law forbade it, saying a woman giving birth is inauspicious and it shouldn't be transmitted to her son."
