I Never Regret It

Since Wang Muxiao was feeling another wave of contractions, the young woman no longer disturbed her. Having just given birth themselves and preparing to leave in a day or two, the other women in the ward could sympathize with her pain.

While she endured the contractions, Lu Cheng was lining up at the hospital lobby counter to pay. Since it was still early, there weren't many people, and it was soon his turn.

Standing in front of the counter, he said, "Good morning, Comrade. I would like to pay a deposit for a patient named Wang Muxiao."

Hearing his words, the nurse smiled and replied, "Good morning, Comrade. Please wait a moment."

She typed on the computer for a while before saying, "The required deposit is 200 yuan."

Lu Cheng was taken aback by the price. Giving birth in a hospital was so expensive. No wonder most people choose midwives instead—after all, they only charge 5 yuan per service.
