89 Pregnant (2)
“What happened to Sister-in-law?” Su Xiaoxiao asked. This form of address was enough to show that she was not distant from Old Li.
Old Li wiped his red eyes. “In the afternoon, Shuanzi fell. She went to pick up the child and knocked herself… At first, she was fine… But something felt wrong at night…”
The village head’s expression changed.
Little Madam Zhao was probably going to give birth!
He hurriedly said, “Then hurry up and invite the midwife!”
That was the problem!
The midwife… was gone!
When his daughter-in-law first realized that her stomach was not feeling well, Old Li went to hire a midwife.
The midwife was here, but as soon as she entered the village… she was intercepted!
“Who is it? Other than the mother of Shuanzi and Qiuni, is there anyone else in our village who is about to give birth?”
The village head was an honest man couldnt figure it out.
“The Su family?” Su Xiaoxiao asked.
Wei Ting had more or less guessed it. Along the way, only the Su family had not slept. If there was someone else in the village giving birth, it could only be traced to the Su family.
The village head thought for a moment. “No one from Old Master Su’s family is pregnant!”
“Yuniang?” Su Xiaoxiao asked again.
Old Li nodded again.
Yuniang was Su Jinniang’s elder sister. She had married someone from another village three years ago and had just gotten pregnant this spring. On the 15th of August, she returned to her parents’ house to visit them.
The village head had an impression of this.
“Is she back for the new year?” The village head frowned. “But she can’t snatch the midwife you invited.”
Old Li did not expect Su Yuniang to do this.
Old Li said, “The midwife also came to take a look. She said that Shuanzi’s mother wasn’t in labor yet. She went to Yuniang first and said that she would come over after Shuanzi’s mother has gone into labor…”
However, the truth was that he could not invite her.
The midwife was from He Tongsheng’s village and was close to him, so she naturally knew the situation of the Su family. Su Yuniang was married to the grandson of the head of the Shallow Water Village and had a sister-in-law who was the young madam of the town.
How could Madam Zhao compare?
“Why are you standing at the door? Hurry up and call the midwife!”
It was Madam Qian’s voice.
“I’ll go first!” Old Li said to the three of them and went to Old Su’s house in the snow.
Old Li returned very quickly, his face filled with anxiety and frustration.
“Yuniang is also giving birth. The midwife can’t leave…”
Su Xiaoxiao said, “Grandpa Li, let me take a look.”
“You?” Old Li looked at Su Xiaoxiao in shock.
Even though he understood that Su Daya was capable and was no longer the lazy little bully from before, this transformation was probably not enough for her to help deliver a child!
Wei Ting said, “Grandpa Li, let Daya try. Daya knows medicine.”
The village head and Old Li said in unison, “You… know medicine?”
In order to save people, she could not wear her medical vest.
Su Xiaoxiao said seriously, “I met a doctor in town who taught me some Qihuang techniques.”
The village head said, “Daya, giving birth is not a joke!”
“I’m not joking. If you don’t believe me, ask Wei Ting. I know medicine! Right, husband?” She looked at Wei Ting.
Wei Ting did not undermine her in the end. He nodded and said, “Daya’s medical skills are comparable to many famous doctors I’ve seen.”
Was this guy… praising her?
This was the first time.
Su Xiaoxiao straightened her back!
The village head was very respectful to scholars. Wei Ting had good handwriting and wrote good couplets. In his heart, this was a descendant of a scholarly family. He believed Wei Ting’s words.
But Little Madam Zhao was the wife of the Li family after all…
“Old Li…” He turned to look at Old Li, who seemed to have aged ten years overnight.
Old Li fell into a huge dilemma.
At his age, how could he not understand that giving birth was like walking through the gates of hell?
He also hoped that he could believe Wei Ting and Daya, but the person lying in the room was his daughter-in-law, the biological mother of his two grandchildren.
If anything went wrong, the two children would become motherless!
Su Xiaoxiao understood his dilemma. If it were her, she probably wouldn’t believe that a little bully who had done evil for many years could deliver a child.
However, this was different from that situation at Jin Ji. She could not use force.
She sighed softly and said patiently, “Grandpa Li, you won’t be able to hire another midwife. Why don’t you let me try?”
“Let Daya try,” Wei Ting said. ” Daya is a girl. Let her in and help. It’s good for her to take care of Qiuni.”
These words were like a brick that shattered the door, loosening the defense in Old Li’s heart.
That’s right. Her son was chopping firewood and boiling water in the kitchen. There was only Madam Qian in the house. She had to take care of her pregnant daughter-in-law and coax her crying granddaughter. Her heart was a mess!
Su Xiaoxiao nodded to herself. Although Wei Ting was a martial artist, he was not stupid.
Old Li brought Su Xiaoxiao to his daughter-in-law’s room.
Wei Ting and the village head waited in the central room.
“It will turn misfortune into good luck, right?” the village head asked nervously.
Wei Ting said nothing. Even if Su Daya’s medical skills were brilliant, giving birth was really a dangerous thing. If the mother of Dahu and his brothers had not wanted to give birth to them, she would not have…
“No way!”
Madam Qian’s voice interrupted Wei Ting’s thoughts.
Wei Ting and the village head looked over at the same time.
Madam Qian left the room and blocked Su Xiaoxiao at the door. She said to Old Li, “I asked you to look for the midwife! Look what you found! She’s just a little girl! Are you crazy to let her deliver Chunxiu’s child!”
Old Li was embarrassed.
Su Xiaoxiao sighed.
Sigh, had he listened to Wei Ting’s words in vain? Once they met, Auntie Qian gave it to her. The first few sentences could really be omitted!
Now, she couldn’t even enter. How was she going to help Little Madam Zhao deliver the child?
After their interaction for a period of time, Auntie Qian had already changed her opinion of the Su family a little. However, this did not mean that she would hand her daughter-in-law’s life over to Fatty Su.
Fatty Su was at most a little bully who had turned over a new leaf. Could she be a midwife? Impossible!
Su Xiaoxiao learned Wei Ting’s way of persuasion. “Auntie Qian, I’m not doing anything else. I’m just going in to see Qiuni and say a few words to Sister-in-law. Sister-in-law can’t fall asleep now.”
Madam Qian’s heart skipped a beat. That’s right. When women gave birth, they wouldn’t wake up once they fall asleep…
Su Xiaoxiao clenched her chubby fists. “Look at me. If I stand there, she won’t be sleepy anymore. She’ll be so scared the child will be out in no time!”
Madam Qian was speechless.
