Lan Yao was still worried. "If I let you go in alone, I wouldn't be able to handle it."

Grandma Yu is getting old now. Lan Yao wasn't comfortable letting him go in alone. Besides, it's so late at night, who would know what they were up to? What were the people in this grocery store thinking?

Therefore, Lan Yao was particularly insistent on this, and Gu Zixiao also advised from the side: "You should listen to Lan Yao, otherwise he will get angry and I won't coax him."

Grandma Yu rolled her eyes at Gu Zixiao, "You good-for-nothing, weren't you usually so capable?"

Gu Zixiao: "You said it yourself, it's something you've been saying all along, and this isn't something I caused."

Grandma Yu wanted to say something more, but someone from the family who was about to give birth came out and asked, "Has the midwife arrived yet? The pregnant woman is having a difficult labor, and we really can't do anything about it."

Lan Yao said rudely, "What's wrong with your family? You knew your daughter-in-law was about to give birth, so why didn't you find a midwife beforehand? Who can stand this sudden move?"

The family about to give birth looked embarrassed by Lan Yao's words. "It's not that we didn't prepare in advance. We hired a midwife, but he went into labor too quickly. And the midwife wasn't home for some reason; we heard she had to go out on something."

Lan Yao was about to say something more when Grandma Yu pressed his hand down. "This is a matter of life and death. Let's go in and take a look."

Lan Yao hummed in agreement, took Grandma Yu's hand, and the two of them went inside together.

The room wasn't large, but it was divided into four areas, each with a curtain for privacy.

The atmosphere inside the room wasn't good either. There was a strong smell of blood everywhere, and the room was small and dimly lit, which made people feel uncomfortable.

Lan Yao carefully helped Grandma Yu into a small cubicle near the door.

They had barely stepped inside when they heard a woman's heart-wrenching screams.

Grandma Yu patted Lan Yao's hand to comfort her, fearing she might be frightened.

Lan Yao's heart softened, and he nodded to his grandmother to show that he was not afraid.

He thought to himself, "This is nothing." Whether it was during the apocalypse or when he first came to this world, he had seen far more terrifying things.

After Grandma Yu went inside, she asked the older woman standing next to the woman, "How many centimeters dilated? Is the baby in the correct position?"

As she asked this question, she had already checked the results. She found that the woman's baby was in an abnormal position and was only dilated to two centimeters. It would be quite a long time before she could give birth.

However, based on Grandma Yu's experience, she had already determined that the other woman was going to have a difficult childbirth.

The cervix is ​​dilating too slowly, not to mention the woman's abdomen is too large.

If a woman's abdomen is too large, it means that she ate too much nourishing food during her pregnancy, resulting in a fetus that is too big. In this case, it is simply impossible to give birth.

In this situation, the only option is to send him to the hospital.

Grandma Yu shared her thoughts, and the family shook their heads repeatedly upon hearing them.

"No, no. We don't have any money, our family doesn't have any money."

"Besides, which woman hasn't faced death? It's just childbirth, is it really necessary to go to the hospital? How much does it cost to go to the hospital?"

"You're experienced, could you please lend a hand?"

Grandma Yu had expected the family's reaction.

Grandma Yu said decisively, "I can't help. You should find someone else."

Grandma Yu didn't want to deal with the outcome she already knew.

Just look at this family's true colors. I hope they don't cause any trouble and then try to pin it on her.

So, she turned around and wanted to leave with Lan Yao.

She wanted to leave, but that family didn't want to leave.

The only person who can help now is Grandma Yu, the midwife. What will they do if Grandma Yu really passes away?

The woman who remained in the house, who appeared to be the mother-in-law, went up to try and take Grandma Yu's hand, but Lan Yao quickly slapped it away.

Lan Yao remained expressionless, a half-smile playing on her lips: "What's wrong? You can't help, but you want to force me to stay?"

Even though the woman's mother-in-law was hurt by the slap, she still forced a smile: "No, no! We just want Aunt Yu to help us. Otherwise, my daughter-in-law and her unborn child will both die."

Lan Yao: "Even if my grandma doesn't help, your daughter-in-law's fate is obvious. It's just a pity about the boy in her belly."

It was the jade Pixiu that told her about this.

She didn't want to say it, but she still brought it up anyway.

Lan Yao could see that this family didn't care about their daughter-in-law's life or death and were extremely stingy.

However, if they knew the woman was carrying a boy, their stinginess might lessen, and they might take her to the hospital instead.

As it turned out, Lan Yao still underestimated human nature.

Even after she said that, the family still wanted Grandma Yu's help.

Lan Yao chuckled and said to Grandma Yu, "Grandma Yu, go wait outside."

Grandma Yu was confused, but she knew Lan Yao's temper to some extent, so she quickly advised, "Lan Yao, let's not get involved. There's no need to stoop to their level."

Lan Yao squeezed her hand, "Consider it as me doing a good deed today."

It's just childbirth.

Although she wasn't a professional, she was extremely skilled at using knives.

Besides, what hadn't she done during the apocalypse?

So she called out to the outside, "Gu Zixiao, come here."

Gu Zixiao came over. "What's wrong?"

Lan Yao reached out to him: "Give me a few small knives and a small can of alcohol."

The alcohol was something Lan Yao got for Gu Zixiao.

Gu Zixiao still had quite a few left, and since Lan Yao wanted them, Gu Zixiao didn't hesitate. He pretended to take something out of his backpack and handed it to Lan Yao.

Grandma Yu looked doubtful, but still asked, "Will it work?"

Lan Yao smiled confidently: "Grandma Yu, whether it works or not, this family is sticking with you. So, let's solve the most crucial problem first. Then we can settle our scores later."

I, Lan Yao, am not one to suffer a loss.

Besides, if they really save them, that would be a good deed.

Gu Zixiao: "Let me help you."

Lan Yao: "No, it's not appropriate for a man like you to go in."

Although there are quite a few male doctors who help deliver babies, it is still considered somewhat unethical for men to deliver babies in this era.

Most people cannot accept this.

Gu Zixiao was unhappy: "They're so troublesome."

Lan Yao: "That's right."

Gu Zixiao leaned over and kissed Lan Yao: "Then you go ahead. I'll wait for you here so no one gets in your way."

Lan Yao: "Then let me throw the people out of the house first."

Gu Zixiao: "Sure, no problem."

The two of them happily made the decision.

Grandma Yu: ...

I don't know where to even begin to complain.
