The scream was extremely sharp, which startled Jiang Tangtang, who instinctively hid behind Lu Shiyan.

Lu Shiyan patted her back reassuringly and said, "Don't be afraid."

Just as she finished comforting her, another scream rang out. Jiang Tangtang involuntarily shuddered.

Lu Shiyan frowned slightly. He led Jiang Tangtang and Fang Mingming up to a large, leafy tree and hid them in the foliage, saying, "I'll go take a look. You two stay here and don't make a sound."

Jiang Tangtang's face turned pale with fright, but she knew that neither she nor Fang Mingming had any fighting skills, and that going with them would only be a burden.

So, suppressing her fear, she nodded and said, "Husband, you go ahead. I will take good care of myself and him."

Lu Shiyan glanced at Jiang Tangtang's neck, making sure the wooden plaque he had carved was securely on her body, before jumping down from the tree and running towards the source of the sound in the distance.

Deep in the mountains, beside a small ditch, a woman covered in sweat and with a pale face lay on the ground with her legs wide open, occasionally letting out screams.

Two young women were holding her down tightly, while an older woman kept pressing on her stomach, urging her to push harder.

The woman lying on the ground screamed a few times, then her eyes rolled back and she fainted.

Sweating profusely, Wang hurriedly ordered, "Eldest daughter-in-law, quickly pinch her philtrum. She can't faint at this time; fainting now could be fatal."

Cai Chunrong quickly pinched the woman's philtrum on the ground, pinching it hard several times before Wei Ying slowly woke up.

Seeing that the person was awake, Wang hurriedly said, "Fourth brother, is the meat soup ready? Quickly bring it over for your wife to drink."

"Alright!" Jiang Laosi hurriedly brought over the soup and quickly fed it to his wife.

When the woman gave birth, the other men in the Jiang family had to avoid suspicion and couldn't come over. They all carried a knife, their backs to Wei Ying, and silently watched over the woman in the house.

In case wild animals in the mountains smell the blood and suddenly rush over.

After eating the meat soup her husband brought, Wei Ying regained some strength and once again held her breath to give birth.

Amidst screams of agony, Jiang's second daughter-in-law cried out excitedly, "She's out! She's out—"

But when he saw what was under Wei Ying, his joy vanished and he panicked.

She said in a trembling voice, "Mother, the feet came out first, what should we do?"

Upon hearing her second daughter-in-law's words, Wang almost stumbled and fell to the ground.

The feet came out first; this is a difficult birth!

Childbirth is already a life-or-death ordeal for women, and to make matters worse, this was her fourth daughter-in-law's first pregnancy, and she was unlucky enough to suffer a premature birth in this desolate place...

The men of the Jiang family also heard the noise coming from this side, and everyone's faces turned grim. Although the children didn't quite understand why they couldn't step out, they knew from the adults' bad expressions that it wasn't a good thing, so they all kept their heads down and dared not make a sound.

Only Wei Ying's screams remained, creating an extremely oppressive atmosphere.

Jiang Laosi immediately knelt on the ground, pleading fervently, "Please, God, save my wife! Please, God, save my wife! If my wife can be safe, I, Jiang Laosi, am willing to shorten my lifespan by ten years..."

Hearing her son's plea, Wang rallied her spirits to help Wei Ying give birth. However, the difficult labor was far too much for a woman without medical knowledge; Wei Ying's voice grew weaker and weaker.

The Jiang family was plunged into despair.

It was under these circumstances that Lu Shiyan came into the Jiang family's sights.

Because he seemed to have descended from the sky, Jiang Laosi thought it was a divine intervention, that a god had truly been sent to save his wife. Only after clearly seeing Lu Shiyan's face did he exclaim in surprise, "Brother-in-law, it's you! What are you doing here?"

Lu Shiyan said, "I was in the woods over there when I heard shouting, so I came to check. What happened?"

Speaking of his wife, Jiang Laosi almost burst into tears, "My wife had a difficult childbirth, and the baby came out feet first. In this desolate wilderness, I'm afraid..."

Lu Shiyan hesitated for a moment, then said, "I know a little about traditional Chinese medicine. Would it be convenient for me to take a look?"

Jiang Laosi didn't know how his brother-in-law suddenly knew medicine, but at this moment, he couldn't care less about that and hurriedly said, "Okay, thank you very much, brother-in-law, please save my wife."

At this moment, human life was of utmost importance, and no one felt that there was anything wrong with Lu Shiyan being a man.

Wang quickly gave her seat to Lu Shiyan.

At this moment, Wei Ying fainted again, her whole body turning ashen. Both mother and son were in critical condition, their situation extremely urgent.

Lu Shiyan brought his middle and index fingers together and touched her forehead, channeling spiritual energy into her body through his fingers.

The women of the Jiang family couldn't see any spiritual energy, but they saw Lu Shiyan tap her forehead with both hands, and Wei Ying's expression changed before she slowly woke up. After Wei Ying woke up, Lu Shiyan tapped her a few more times, and in a short while, the child was born.

Even after the child was born, the Jiang family was still somewhat taken aback.

It's born already?

After not seeing him for several months, this son-in-law (brother-in-law) seems like a completely different person.

"Mother, is the child gone?" It was Wei Ying's weak question that brought the stunned crowd back to their senses.

Some people thanked Lu Shiyan repeatedly, while others rushed to check on the children. The Jiang family's wives also busied themselves helping Wei Ying tidy up.

"Is the baby gone?" Wang cut the umbilical cord and patted the baby's bottom a few times while it was upside down, but the baby still didn't cry. She was extremely anxious and had no choice but to hold the baby and ask Lu Shiyan for help.

Lu Shiyan looked at the child's bluish-purple face and said, "He's been suffocating for too long and is having trouble breathing. You try it on me."

Wang quickly handed the child to Lu Shiyan.

Lu Shiyan carefully took the child, used his spiritual energy to comb her hair several times, and then returned the child to Wang Shi, saying, "She should be alright now."

Ms. Wang noticed that the child looked much better in his arms in just a short time. Even more miraculously, the child, who had been silent, suddenly started crying loudly.

It all feels like a dream.

This is too unreal.

"Mom, what did I give birth to? Please look at the baby." By now, with the help of her sisters-in-law, Wei Ying had already gotten dressed. Hearing the baby crying, she also started to cry.

The voice of her fourth daughter-in-law made Wang realize clearly that this was not a dream. Her daughter-in-law and granddaughter were both saved. Overjoyed, she carefully took the child and said happily, "Come, come, she's a lucky little girl."

The Jiang family's situation is different from other families.

While other families prefer sons, the Jiang family uniquely favors daughters.

I don't know what's going on with the Jiang family, but I've heard that since their ancestors, the Jiang family has been more likely to have sons than daughters.

Wang gave birth to six children before finally having a daughter, Jiang Tangtang.

She had five sons, four of whom got married. The first three sons each had three children, but all of them were sons.

The fourth son's wife has finally given birth to a daughter, and the entire Jiang family cherishes her like a treasure, calling her a lucky little girl.
