Dayan is giving birth to her second child. The second child will be born faster than the first, and Da Yan will be slower. By the time the midwife is invited to the house, maybe Da Yan's mother will deliver the baby herself.

Twenty minutes later, He Wenguang arrived at the midwife's house.

“Knock knock knock…”

"Who are you looking for?" A little girl in a flowery dress and pigtails opened the door and looked at me and asked.

He Wenguang: "Looking for Zuo Cui'an, the midwife."

"What are you looking for grandma for?"

"My wife is about to give birth, please ask her to come over and help deliver the baby."

"Granny, I'm looking for you to deliver the baby."

Zuo Cui'an was washing dishes in the kitchen. When she heard that they were looking for her to deliver a baby, she quickly turned on the tap to rinse her hands, wiped them on her apron, and walked away while taking off her apron.

Zuo Cui'an is fifty years old this year. She is a well-known midwife. Many children in the neighborhood came into this world through her hands.

Although there are hospitals in the city now, many people give birth these days and the hospitals are very crowded. Therefore, unless the delivery conditions are bad for the mother, many people still choose to hire a midwife to deliver the baby at home.

She walked to the door and glanced at He Wenguang who was pushing his bicycle outside the door. "Wait a moment, I'll go with you right away after I pack up."

"Don't be in a hurry. Midwife Zuo, please take your time to clean up." He Wenguang blurted out.

Hearing this, Zuo Cui'an paused and looked at He Wenguang in confusion.

She had been a midwife for so many years, and everyone who asked her to deliver a baby always urged her to hurry up.

This was the first time she was told not to rush and to take her time to pack.

Then is the one who is going to give birth to a child a daughter-in-law?

He Wenguang felt a little guilty when he was looked at, and his eyes were evasive.

"My wife's water just broke. It took her eight hours to give birth to her daughter, so midwife, don't worry. Take your time to pack up everything and don't forget anything."

"If you miss something because you are in such a hurry to clean it up, it will be more troublesome to come back to get it." He Wenguang made amends.

Zuo Cui'an nodded and went back to the house to pack her own medicine box for delivery.

After carefully checking everything and making sure nothing was left out, she carried the medicine box and went out.

"Qiuqiu, please stay at home and close the door. If grandma doesn't come home by nine o'clock, you should wash up and go to bed by yourself."

Zuo Cui'an unlocked the bicycle parked outside the house and gave instructions to her granddaughter who was standing at the door.

Zuo Cui'an's son is a doctor and her daughter-in-law is a nurse, and both of them are working the night shift this week.

Qiuqiu nodded vigorously. Grandma, Dad and Mom were all busy and had their own work to do. She was only eight years old and had already gotten used to being alone at home.

Zuo Cui'an got on the bicycle and pedaled very fast.

He Wenguang chased after him on his bicycle, "Midwife Zuo, please slow down. I'll lead the way for you, otherwise you won't know the way."

"You know the way. It's on the third floor of the water plant staff compound."

"How do you know that?" He Wenguang was shocked.

She was the one who delivered my daughter-in-law’s first baby. How could she not know the address?

She has a good memory and remembers all the babies she has delivered.

He Wenguang originally wanted to take the midwife to walk slower and take a detour, but he didn't expect that she still remembered where her home was.

Zuo Cui'an pedaled so hard that sparks were almost coming out of her feet, and He Wenguang chased her desperately on his bicycle.

When we arrived at the water plant's staff compound, Zuo Cui'an had already gone upstairs carrying a medicine box as he got out of the car, breathless.

When He Wenguang parked the car and went upstairs, he heard his mother complaining, "Finally you're here, why are you taking so long?"

While examining the woman in labor, Zuo Cui'an replied, "It took me 20 minutes to get here by bike. Is that slow?"

Aunt Zhao: "But it's been almost... two hours since my son-in-law left to invite you?"

So what is He Wenguang doing?

How come it took the midwife 20 minutes to get there by bike, but it took her more than an hour to get there?

"I don't know about that." Zuo Cui'an said with a frown.

"Is Midwife Zuo's wife okay?" He Wenguang walked into the bedroom and asked.

Zuo Cui'an pressed Dayan's belly with her hand with a serious face and ignored her.

"He Wenguang, what's wrong with you? A midwife can ride a bicycle for 20 minutes, but you rode a bicycle for more than an hour?" Aunt Zhao looked at He Wenguang and questioned.

Could it be that 놛 doesn't want to hire a midwife to help Dayan give birth, or does she want her mother to deliver the baby, so she's deliberately delaying the process?

He Wenguang spread his hands with a look of grievance and said, "I had just ridden the bike for a short time when the chain fell off. I was anxious, but the more anxious I was, the harder it was to fix. I wasted some time on the road."

Aunt Zhao pointed at her and said, "You, you are really good."

I don't know whether he believed the nonsense or not.

Zuo Cui'an lifted the quilt, took a look at Dayan's cervical dilation, stood up and said, "The baby is too big and the fetal position is not right. I can't deliver it. I have to send it to the hospital."

When Dayan heard this, she cried in fear.

Aunt Zhao's face turned pale, and she gently comforted her daughter.

"It's okay, it's okay, it's definitely okay."

Cao Zhaodi was stunned at first, then she shouted, "The delivery hasn't even started yet, how come it can't be delivered? Can you be a midwife?"

Zuo Cui'an said patiently: "The fetus is too large and in an abnormal position, and the risk of dystocia is high. We can't give birth at home, we have to go to the hospital."

"You family members should quickly prepare a tricycle, put a quilt on it and take the woman to the Second Hospital."

The Second Hospital is the closest hospital to here, but it takes about 40 minutes to get there by tricycle, so we can't delay.

Aunt Zhao suddenly remembered what Shuping had said to her, and nodded hurriedly, saying, "Send it, let's take it to the hospital. Wenguang, go borrow a tricycle."

He Wenguang didn't move, but looked at his mother.

Cao Zhaodi: "We can't send her to the hospital. You're just a scare troll. My daughter-in-law is giving birth to her second child. How can it be so difficult to have a difficult birth?"

"She has given birth to so many children, and my daughter-in-law also delivered her own child, and everything is fine. Nothing happened."

"If you can't deliver the baby, then come here." Cao Zhaodi rolled up her sleeves and walked towards the bed.

Zuo Cui'an frowned, stretched out her hand to stop her and asked, "Are you the midwife?"

"Although I am not a midwife, I delivered the babies of my two daughters-in-law when they went to the countryside."

Zuo Cui'an said seriously, "Since you are neither a midwife nor a doctor, don't challenge the profession with your narrow-minded and ignorant knowledge and pitiful little experience! This woman must be sent to the hospital to give birth today!"

“……”Cao Zhaodi still looked unconvinced.

Aunt Zhao gnashed her teeth and urged He Wenguang, "He Wenguang, you are a dead man. Can't you hear me when I asked you to prepare the tricycle? If you delay sending Dayan to the hospital, I will not forgive you if anything happens!"

Cao Zhaodi couldn't bear to see her son being scolded, "Why are you scolding Wenguang? Mother-in-law, why can't you hope for better for your daughter?"

"You don't believe anything a person says. Who knows if this midwife is in collusion with the hospital and deliberately said something scary to get people to give money to the hospital?"

Cao Zhaodi glanced at Zuo Cui'an, who rolled her eyes speechlessly but was not angry.

Because she had been a midwife for so many years, she had seen many outrageous women's families as well as women in labor.

The mother-in-law she met today was the most outrageous one she had ever encountered.
