As soon as Li Song finished speaking, the room erupted into chaos.

No matter how wildly these people speculated, they never expected it to be like this!

No one doubted that Li Song's words were false, after all, what man would joke about such a thing?

"Oh no, Chunhua is about to give birth!"

Aunt Li shouted, and everyone saw that a small pool of blood had flowed out from under Chunhua's body.

Li Wanshi caught her breath and was no longer dizzy. She said sternly to the crowd who were scrambling to lift Chunhua onto the kang (a heated brick bed), "Take her out, don't dirty my kang!"

Li Jin shouted, "Li Song, hurry up and go find Grandma Cui!"

Grandma Cui was a barefoot doctor in Lijiapo Brigade, and she was best at midwifery.

In Lijiapo Brigade, most babies under the age of twenty were delivered by Grandma Cui.

Li Song was a little dazed. Hearing Li Jin speak, he finally came to his senses and quickly ran out to find Grandma Cui.

Seeing Aunt Chunhua in pain, Li Xiangdong rushed into the house and said, "Hurry up and go to the hospital! Don't give birth at home!"

Although Grandma Cui has successfully delivered no fewer than two hundred babies, there have also been many cases of mothers and babies dying due to difficult childbirth.

People simply believe that childbirth is a life-or-death situation for women, and they take the deaths of women and children for granted, selectively ignoring the issue.

Aunt Li, having been through this herself, advised, "Your sister-in-law is bleeding; she can't give birth at home. She needs to go to the hospital!"

Judging from Chunhua's appearance, it doesn't seem like she'll be able to give birth naturally.

Li Xiangdong hurried to the livestock shed to hitch up the donkey cart. When he returned to Li Qingshan's house, Grandma Cui had not yet arrived.

Without waiting for her, they spread a blanket on the donkey cart, lifted Chunhua, who was almost fainting from the pain, onto the cart, and headed straight for the hospital.

After thinking for a moment, Li Xiangdong decided not to go to the hospital with her, but instead rode his bicycle to pick up Dr. Gu.

In case the county hospital doctors have limited abilities, we'll still need Dr. Gu to save us in an emergency.

When Li Xiangdong rode his bicycle to the hospital with Doctor Gu, the doctor was delivering Chunhua's baby.

Aunt Li, Li Jin, and Zhang Erzhu were waiting outside the ward. Li Xiangdong's eyes inadvertently swept over Zhang Erzhu and found that the man did not show any worry at all!

If you're saying that Aunt Chunhua's baby is related to him, it doesn't seem like it at all!

Half an hour later, a doctor suddenly ran out with his hands covered in blood, shouting, "The pregnant woman is hemorrhaging!"

Everyone's heart skipped a beat; this was bad!

Li Xiangdong, without bothering to explain to the doctor, escorted Dr. Gu into the ward.

With a few swift movements, Doctor Gu inserted silver needles into Chunhua's important acupoints and then took a ginseng slice from his medicine box and put it into Chunhua's mouth.

"Let's do a C-section! We need to do the surgery right away, and then we need a blood transfusion immediately!"

The obstetrician was initially very displeased to see Dr. Gu and Li Xiangdong barge in, but immediately changed his attitude after seeing Dr. Gu stabilize the pregnant woman's condition with a single move. "Sir, a cesarean section is no problem, but the hospital doesn't have that much blood!"

"I'll find someone to donate blood! The hospital can test blood types, right?"

"Can!"

Li Xiangdong rushed outside in a panic, shouting, "Dad, we need to get the villagers to come and donate blood for Auntie right away!"

The hospital affairs were temporarily left to Aunt Li's care, and Li Xiangdong rode his bicycle back to the village with Li Jin on his back.

Soon, the loudspeaker at the brigade headquarters blared.

"Dear fellow villagers! Aunts and grandmas! Chunhua is giving birth at the county hospital and is experiencing severe bleeding! She urgently needs a blood transfusion! We hope everyone can rush to the hospital to donate blood! It's extremely urgent, please help save her life!"

Li Jin played it once, then repeated it again, and on the third time, the door of the brigade headquarters was pushed open!

"Captain, I can donate blood!"

The first person to enter was an uncle in his fifties!

Then, more people ran towards the brigade headquarters...

Through the window of the brigade headquarters, Li Xiangdong saw people running onto the street and rushing towards the headquarters.

Within ten minutes, villagers from the surrounding area had gathered, including the elderly, children, and able-bodied men and women.

Everyone chimed in, "I can donate blood!"

"I'm strong and healthy, so take mine first!"

"I can do it too!"

Without delay, Li Xiangdong led more than twenty young men and women to the hospital first, and then Li Jin organized more people to go there.

People rushed to the hospital, breathless, and lined up for blood tests without even catching their breath.

Only those who were a match could donate, and in the end, five people were identified as having the same blood type as Chunhua.

Each person can donate no more than 200cc of blood, and five people can donate 1000cc.

I thought that this amount of blood was enough, and Chunhua also successfully gave birth to twins via cesarean section.

Who knew that not long after the baby was brought out, a nurse ran out shouting that the mother was bleeding again!

Fortunately, Li Jin arrived with a large group of people at this time. Everyone lined up to have their blood tested and drawn, and a steady stream of blood was delivered to the ward!

The hospital staff were alarmed and came out to see what was going on.

"Sister-in-law, what's going on here? Why are so many people here?"

"I heard from Nurse Su that a pregnant woman had a severe hemorrhage, and a large group of people were lining up to donate blood!"

"Which brigade is this? They're so united!"

"Lijiapo, that's the brigade where they made a fortune!"

...

After a day and a night, Chunhua finally woke up, with Zhao Sufang and Qi Yuexian by her bedside.

After examining you, the doctor said with relief, "You're incredibly lucky! It's also thanks to the kind-hearted people in your village who donated 7000cc of blood for you!"

"This amount of blood is enough to replace your entire blood supply twice! That's how you survived!"

Chunhua's eyes welled up with tears, and Zhao Sufang held her hand, saying, "Don't think about anything, just take good care of yourself."

Qi Yuexian also advised her, "You have to get better quickly for the sake of the children. You haven't seen how well the two children are growing up!"

It took Chunhua three whole months to fully recover before she was able to get out of bed and hold her baby.

For the past three months, she has been living in her own house, with Zhao Sufang and Qi Yuexian taking care of her three meals a day. The aunties and grandmas in the village also lend a hand from time to time.

Li Song came twice, but was turned away both times.

Seeing that Chunhua ignored him, Li Song used the excuse of being busy with work to stay in the county town and never returned to the village.

People were gossiping behind each other's backs, saying all sorts of things.

Zhao Sufang advised Chunhua, "Everyone's just chatting idly, don't take it to heart. They all mean well; when you were hospitalized, they were all vying to donate blood!"

Chunhua smiled calmly, looking somewhat worldly-wise. "Sister-in-law, let whoever wants to say what they want. Right now, I'm just thinking about how to raise Jinlong and Yufeng."

Jinlong and Yufeng are the names Chunhua gave to the twins.

The first thing Chunhua did after recovering was to thank the families who had donated blood for her and give them a pound of brown sugar.

The second thing is that she wants to divorce Li Song!
