I grabbed the first-aid kit, and Lin Jin turned around to go back and get the first-aid kit as well.

"Sister-in-law Lotus, tell me what happened?"

"Erniu's wife is having a difficult childbirth and is bleeding heavily; she's in critical condition."

“How could she have a difficult labor? She’s been doing fine all along. I think Xiangzhi’s due date is still over a month away,” Sister Hehua said angrily upon hearing this. “It’s all because of Erniu’s mother. She made Erniu’s wife get up to go to the toilet in the middle of the night, and in the dark, she slipped and fell. The old woman was fine, but poor Erniu’s wife was in bad shape. The midwife was called, and now we don’t know what’s going on. It’s not even dawn yet, and the oxcart is slow. Who knows what will happen by the time we get to the clinic.”

Lin Jin listened to Sister Hehua's explanation the whole way and got a general understanding of the situation. If a cesarean section was to be performed, the patient would have to be sent to a health center. Although Lin Jin could have the procedure done, she didn't have the necessary equipment, and the hygiene conditions weren't up to par. There was a risk of postoperative infection, which could be very troublesome.

When Lin Jin arrived at Erniu's house, a large crowd had gathered. There was no sound from inside the house. Erniu, standing at the doorway, saw Lin Jin and, with red eyes, hurried towards her, choking back tears, pleading, "Lin Zhiqing, please check on my wife! You must save her! Please, you must save her!" Lin Jin glanced at Erniu and stepped into the room. The room reeked of blood. The woman in labor lay on the bed, breathing heavily but barely. The midwife paced anxiously beside her. Seeing Lin Jin, she quickly said, "The baby is breech; the woman has no strength left." Lin Jin checked her pulse, then quickly opened her medicine box, pretending to take something from it—actually, from her spatial storage. She put away her tools, then took a pill from her storage space and handed it to the midwife. "Aunt Qin, please give this medicine to Sister Xiangzhi. No need for water, just feed her!"

Aunt Qin gave the medicine directly to the new mother, and as soon as the medicine entered her mouth, the new mother's complexion improved significantly.

Lin Jin took out the silver needles again. Aunt Qin looked at them and asked in surprise, "Girl, you know acupuncture?"

"I know a little!"

"Do you have a way to correct the baby's position?"

"No problem, Aunt Qin, could you please lift up Sister Xiangzhi's clothes so I can start acupuncture on her right away?"

Lin Jin inserted the needles with both hands simultaneously. After two needles, the baby clearly turned over. Aunt Qin exclaimed, "Girl, you're amazing! Look, the baby is in the right position!" "Then Aunt Qin, it's up to you now," Qin replied.

By this time, the mother had regained her strength, and the baby was born in less than fifteen minutes. The baby had been in the womb for quite a while, and its face was pale. It didn't cry after being born, so Lin Jin patted the baby's bottom and turned it over. The baby finally cried. Lin Jin checked the baby and found that there were no major problems. Although it was premature, as long as it received adequate nutrition, there shouldn't be any major issues. Lin Jin then checked the mother, and her condition was not good. She was severely anemic and had gynecological problems, compounded by the difficult labor...

After the baby was born, everyone left, leaving only Yang Erniu in the house. Lin Jin specifically instructed that the new mother must take good care of herself during this postpartum period, otherwise she would have various health problems and would not live a long life. Upon hearing this, Yang Erniu immediately said that he would definitely make sure his wife had a good postpartum period and that he would take his mother-in-law away.

Lin Jin didn't want to interfere in other people's business, so she just prescribed the medicine, told him to take it on time, and to eat well before leaving. Yang Erniu thanked her profusely and saw Lin Jin off, even giving her five yuan. Lin Jin accepted it, knowing that she was losing money on that medicine.

But in this rural area, five yuan is not a small amount.
