"It's me, Changshu. Quick, tell your third sister-in-law to come with me."

Gu Xianjin ran until his mouth was dry, swallowed hard, and sweat dripped from his face into the ground.

Seeing Gu Changshu open the door, she quickly pushed him aside and tried to go inside.

"What are you doing? My third sister-in-law is pregnant. Where are you going with her?"

Gu Changshu deliberately blocked the doorway, preventing Gu Xian from entering.

He knew perfectly well how his uncle had bullied his third sister-in-law.

Now that he needs his third sister-in-law's help, he comes to her for assistance, thinking he's so powerful, huh?

Pah, dream on.

"Gu Changshu, what are you doing? I'm your uncle, get out of my way right now."

Gu Xianjin was annoyed. Did Gu Changshu not know how to read people's expressions? Didn't he know that Gu Xianjin was in a hurry?

What a despicable wretch! He has no sense of respect whatsoever.

"I don't care about your uncle and aunt. As long as my third sister-in-law hasn't come out, you can wait outside."

Uncle? Who does he think he is?

He was determined to stop Gu Xianjin no matter what.

I must apologize for the lavish meal I had at my third sister-in-law's house tonight.

"Gu Changfeng, Ruan Qiushui, come out here."

Gu Xianjin was furious and shouted at the top of his lungs.

He was getting old, and he couldn't even push Gu Changshu.

"snort."

Xie Xiuying, who was chatting and laughing inside, rolled her eyes and pinched Gu Guangrong's thigh as soon as she heard Gu Xianjin's voice.

"Why."

Gu Guangrong patted his wife's hand, but the pressure was so strong it hurt him terribly.

This is truly an undeserved disaster.

"I'm going out to take a look."

I wonder what kind of trouble this uncle is up to this time.

Gu Changfeng walked out with a cold face.

"Changfeng, where's your wife? Hurry up and call her to come with me."

Gu Xianjin was overjoyed to see Gu Changfeng come out.

"Uncle, my wife is heavily pregnant and can't take any more stress. If there's anything, you should ask someone else."

Gu Changfeng's attitude was indifferent.

In his eyes, his wife was the most important person. As for his uncle who caused trouble for his wife, what was he?

If Gu Xianjin hadn't learned his lesson afterward and hadn't done anything underhanded, he wouldn't have let it go so easily.

"Changfeng, I'm begging you, please let your wife make the trip."

"Ailian fell at home this afternoon, went into premature labor, and suffered severe bleeding. They called a midwife, but she still couldn't give birth. If she had come any later, it would have been a double tragedy."

Gu Xianjin almost burst into tears.

The baby in He Ailian's belly was his unborn grandson.

His birth caused his family to incur debt and offend people.

If anything were to happen to him, he and his wife would be devastated.

"Then why aren't you taking her to the hospital? What are you doing here looking for my wife?"

If you're really that worried about your child, you should have taken them to the hospital this afternoon. What's the use of being anxious now?

His wife is like a living Buddha.

“Your wife is a doctor, she’ll definitely have a solution.”

Gu Xianjin was stunned for a moment, then said.

It wasn't that he didn't want to take her to the hospital; firstly, he didn't have the money, and secondly, the midwife had said she could save the baby.

But now, the midwife told him that she had done her best and there was nothing more she could do.

He wouldn't have come to Ruan Qiushui to beg her to save him if he hadn't been completely desperate.

"Changfeng, those are two lives! Are you really going to just stand by and watch them die?"

Gu Xianjin burst into tears.

His poor grandson couldn't just die like that.

Let's go.

Ruan Qiushui walked out calmly, with Xie Xiuying helping her carry her medical kit from behind.

It's not that she's a saint.

She was willing to seek medical help for two reasons: firstly, the child was innocent, and secondly, it was to accumulate good karma for the child in her womb.

If it were Gu Xianjin who got into trouble, let's see if she'd even bother with him.

"Niece-in-law, you've finally come out! Come with me now."

When Gu Xian entered, He Ailian was almost fainting.

So much time has passed, and we still don't know what's going on.

Gu Xianjin ran ahead, looking back several times at Ruan Qiushui walking slowly, but he didn't want to urge her directly. He was so anxious that he felt like he was being scratched by a cat.

"Wife, slow down, watch your step."

Gu Changfeng supported Ruan Qiushui, afraid that his wife might twist her ankle.

"Third brother's wife, we're not in a hurry. Her life is not as important as your safety."

Xie Xiuying didn't care whether He Ailian lived or died; it was none of her business. He was less important than her third daughter-in-law.

After rushing for a while, the four of them finally arrived at Gu Xianjin's house.

"Here they come, here they come, Ruan Zhiqing is here."

The aunt who was helping out in the yard saw Ruan Qiushui arrive and quickly called out to the house.

"Quickly, quickly, the mother's breathing is getting weak."

If it had been any later, the baby in my belly would have suffocated.

The smell of blood was too strong, so Ruan Qiushui went inside wearing a homemade gauze mask.

"I'll go in and take a look too."

Xie Xiuying quickly grabbed her medical kit and followed her inside.

She had to protect her third daughter-in-law; what if someone, lacking common sense, offended her?

"Mother, you need to keep a close eye on my wife."

If it weren't so inconvenient, Gu Changfeng would have liked to go in and keep an eye on his wife.

Ruan Qiushui entered the room, where He Ailian was already on the verge of death.

She took the medical kit, took out silver needles, and began to give He Ailian acupuncture to help her improve her qi.

The environment here is rudimentary and the equipment is inadequate. Forcing a cesarean section would only cause He Ailian to die in vain, and the child might not even survive.

The only thing we can do now is to wake He Ailian up immediately so she can give birth naturally.

"My child, save my child."

He Ailian opened her eyes, weak and listless.

"Don't speak yet, conserve your energy."

Ruan Qiushui took He Ailian's pulse.

"Where's the food prepared for the new mother? Quickly, get it here."

Ruan Qiushui shouted at the midwife who was standing there stunned.

If He Ailian didn't replenish her energy, she wouldn't have been able to survive until the baby was born; even if she tried to force herself to breathe, it wouldn't have made a difference.

"I'll go right away."

The midwife panicked, fearing a fatality, and quickly ran out.

"How's the third son's wife?"

Seeing Ruan Qiushui frown, Xie Xiuying stepped forward and asked.

She wasn't worried about anything else, but she was afraid that He Ailian and the child would not be saved in the end, and that someone like Gu Xianjin would blame Ruan Qiushui afterwards.

"There is still hope."

Ruan Qiushui initially determined that the baby was in a transverse position, and at this point, the only option was to urgently perform a repositioning and turning maneuver.

This method is generally only used after ruling out umbilical cord entanglement around the neck.

However, the situation is urgent now. Ultrasound cannot be performed, and a cesarean section is not an option. Repositioning and turning the fetus is the only choice.

Ruan Qiushui placed her hands on He Ailian's belly and began to turn the baby into a head-down position.

Xie Xiuying stared wide-eyed as she watched the baby in He Ailian's belly turn ninety degrees with the help of her third daughter-in-law's hand.

"Brown sugar and eggs are here."

Lin Duomei ran in carrying a bowl.

These were three eggs and a small piece of brown sugar that she had specially saved for He Ailian during her postpartum period, and now they were all cooked.

"Quickly feed her."

He Ailian's eyes are about to close again.

Ruan Qiushui quickly stepped forward and gave her another injection.
