Chapter 877: Chapter 877: Waiting for Delivery at the Hospital
Tang Jun and Zhang Qiang went to school, and Zhang Huafeng and Liu Cuixong packed up their things and returned to Wangjiang County that same day.
Zhang Hualian repeatedly tried to persuade them to stay, but Liu Cuixong refused, saying, "Hualian, Mom is still at home, and we can’t leave her unattended. Besides, the shop can’t be closed every day. Qiangzi has been staying here with you for a while, and it’s been a bother for you."
Liu Cuixong spoke with warmth and politeness, no longer showing the disdain she once had. Nowadays, if there was someone Liu Cuixong most wanted to get close to, it would be none other than her sister-in-law, Zhang Hualian.
The changes in their family were all due to this sister-in-law, and naturally, Liu Cuixong wanted to maintain a good relationship with Zhang Hualian.
"Qiangzi is very well-behaved, and now that they’re going to school together, they can look out for each other. If you have time, sister-in-law, you should visit Jing City more often." Unable to persuade them, Zhang Hualian handed over the prepared items for them to take back.
Inside were clothes for Elder Mrs. Zhang, some food, and specialties from Jing City.
If it weren’t inconvenient, Zhang Hualian would have given them more to take back, not just for Elder Mrs. Zhang, but also for Granny Tang.
"Alright, alright, definitely." Liu Cuixong made a token refusal before taking everything as offered.
As time went on, Tang Yue’s belly grew larger. After one prenatal check-up, the doctor advised Tang Yue to be admitted to the hospital early for observation.
Although by the timeline, she was due to give birth in October, which was nearly two months away, Tang Yue was carrying twins and could deliver at any time. Additionally, the babies needed oxygen support, so she was admitted to the hospital as a precaution.
Zhang Hualian and Mo Xiaolin, her in-laws, took turns accompanying Tang Yue in the hospital. In her private ward, apart from walking around the room, if she wanted to see far, she could only look through the window. Most of the time, she just lay in bed resting.
"Sis, I’ve brought everything you wanted." Lian Qingyang arrived with Tang Yue’s drawing paper, colored pencils, and even the portable desk she had made earlier, saying, "Sis, if you’re bored, you can draw. Also, you said you wanted to see fashion magazines last time. I’ve subscribed to some for you from abroad. They’ll arrive in the country in a few days, and I’ll bring them to you."
"Great. Are you coming here every day? Don’t you need to take care of the company?" Tang Yue glanced at him. He was already in his final year of college, rarely needing to attend classes, and spent most of his time handling company affairs. As Xincheng Computer thrived, Lian Qingyang was full of confidence, visiting Tang Yue despite his daily busyness.
"Sis, the company doesn’t rely solely on me to function." Lian Qingyang handed her a peeled banana, saying, "Computer sales are getting better and better. I think in the future, if we develop more games, there will definitely be a bright future."
"Exactly, you majored in computer science. Instead of making many games, just focus on perfecting and diversifying them. You’ll definitely make money in the future." Tang Yue praised him, her words not just lip service. It was only the early 90s, and by the mid to late 90s, the rise of internet cafes would make online games more visible to the public. In the future, large internet games would captivate many gaming enthusiasts.
"By the way, Xiao Yang, are you guys currently developing small games?" Tang Yue suddenly asked.
Lian Qingyang nodded and finished the banana in a few bites.
"You can make the small games more diversified and improve the graphics," Tang Yue advised. "Later on, you can develop some big games. Also, ensure the quality of your computers; otherwise, you won’t have a competitive edge over others."
"Sis, don’t worry. We’ve recently developed two mini-games that I find quite fun." In this regard, Lian Qingyang was very confident.
Tang Yue thought about how internet cafes hadn’t yet appeared and didn’t say more. Instead of letting others open an internet café, she considered opening one herself. After all, running an internet café was undoubtedly profitable, but it would effectively prevent minors from playing.
Later generations saw many kids skipping classes to play games in internet cafés, which was a bad thing. Other places may not be able to stop it, but in their own internet café, why couldn’t they?
With this in mind, Tang Yue wished to start an internet café immediately, but realizing they weren’t quite ready for it, with internet connections still challenging to establish, she thought it best to wait a couple more years.

In mid-September, Old Sir Lian, Lian Tong, and Gu Chun arrived in Jing City. Soon after they got there, Old Sir Lian insisted on heading straight to the hospital.
Tang Yue had been resting in bed to nourish the baby, knowing that every extra day the children remained in the womb was beneficial.
"Grandpa, Auntie, why are you here?" Tang Yue was a bit surprised to see them and propped herself up into a sitting position.
Lian Tong quickly moved forward to set a large pillow behind her back for support, and once Tang Yue was comfortable, she asked, "When did you guys arrive in Jing City?"
"We got here today, and your grandpa insisted on seeing his great-grandchildren," Lian Tong said, a touch of helplessness in her voice. "I told him to rest before visiting, but he wouldn’t have it."
"No worries for Grandpa." Old Sir Lian chuckled as he gazed at Tang Yue’s rather alarmingly large belly. "Xiao Yue, I heard you’re due soon, so your aunt and I hurried over. Originally, your dad wanted to come too, but there are still many things in the Lian Clan he can’t leave behind. He should be able to come in half a month."
"How are you feeling? Is there any discomfort?"
After chatting with Tang Yue for a while and seeing for himself that she was in good spirits, Old Sir Lian finally relaxed and left to rest at home.
Lian Tong and Gu Chun left with him. Although arrangements had been made for the lodging, she still couldn’t rest easy without visiting.
After a long time, Wu Xin returned and seemed a bit surprised to see Tang Yue. However, he didn’t say much and simply asked, "Xiao Yue, I brought you a lot of food. Want some?"
"Yes." Tang Yue nodded, thinking it must be specialities from Sea City.
Just as Tang Yue was about to indulge, Zhang Hualian intervened, saying, "Xiao Yue, the doctor mentioned that the baby has enough nutrition already. You mustn’t eat too much more, or it will complicate the delivery."
"Mom, just one piece." Tang Yue looked longingly at the bag of Dragon Beard Candy. She really wanted one!
"No, it can cause inflammation."
Zhang Hualian firmly refused, saying, "Xiao Yue, you can only eat what the doctor has approved."
Tang Yue’s expression instantly fell, looking pitifully at Zhang Hualian.
