"By the way, Brother Cui, did my daughter-in-law have one or two? Do I have a grandson or a granddaughter?"
Cao Qiu asked again, as the nurses still hadn't come out. She was anxious to know what Gu'er had delivered.
"Just one baby. A good weight, too—over six jin. As for whether it's a boy or a girl, I didn't look. Alright, I'm heading out. Remember to invite me for the full-month celebration."
With that, Doctor Cui didn't linger. He swaggered off with his splay-footed gait. He rarely got involved personally these days; his daughter usually handled things. Of course, her skills couldn't compare to his yet—she still had a lot to learn. Still, the Cui Family's reputation for delivering babies and treating infertility was well-earned. If not for his slight friendship with Cao Qiu, he wouldn't have come. Now that the matter was resolved, it was time for him to leave.
"Since Brother Cui didn't say, it must be a girl."
Cao Qiu sank onto a bench, her spirits deflated.
