Chapter 187 Foolishness

"We can't rule that out," Wang Ying said calmly. "A prolonged labor can easily lead to fetal asphyxiation and hypoxia. Even if the baby survives, there's a risk of cerebral palsy."

"Cerebral palsy? Then, doesn't that mean he's a fool? Otherwise, how could my Dong family produce a fool?"

Meng Que's mother-in-law became anxious upon hearing this and begged in tears, "Doctor Wang, please save my grandson! The Liu family all say you're a good midwife. No matter how difficult the birth, you can deliver it smoothly. Please, please save my eldest grandson! My son is the only boy in my Dong family's generation. He was sixteen when he finally had a girl. Now we finally have a son, and he can't have him be a fool!"

She spoke loudly and cried loudly, howling and making a lot of noise.

"Stop arguing! Are you still willing to let your grandson live? The more you cry, the more time you waste."

Wang Ying was annoyed by the noise. She frowned and waved her hand, signaling Meng Que's husband to pull his mother out. "Hurry up, pull your mother out. Your wife needs a quiet environment to give birth. Don't let your mother cause trouble here. She's just wasting my time."

Meng Que's husband was quite obedient. He half-pulled and half-dragged her mother out of the house.

As soon as the bystanders left, Wang Ying began to try to adjust the fetal position.

When Yun Qiao first started learning, she only knew what Wang Ying was doing, but she couldn't help much. She could only help her from the side, hand her a gauze to stop bleeding, help wipe the sweat off her face, etc.

Wang Ying's expression was serious, with beads of sweat dripping down her forehead. She tried for a long time but ultimately failed.

In order to prevent the mother from feeling panic, Wang Ying did not show any emotion on her face. It was just because Yun Qiao had started learning midwifery, so she could understand it.

A difficult birth that even the teacher couldn't handle...

Yun Qiao began to panic and couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "Teacher, isn't it?"

Wang Ying hummed, also lowering her voice, and explained to Yun Qiao, "It's a giant baby. Its head is stuck in the pelvis and can't come down. A natural birth is out of the question. We need to have an abortion."

Yun Qiao was shocked: "Can you do a caesarean section?"

"Of course I can, but I don't have any anesthesia. It's best to send her to the hospital." Wang Ying patted Yun Qiao's shoulder and said, "You watch the mother first. I'll talk to the family."

Yun Qiao agreed: "Okay."

Wang Ying opened the door and went out. Yun Qiao walked to Meng Que's bedside and heard her calling for water, so he picked up the bowl and fed her a few sips of water.

Meng Que's neck was throbbing with pain, and she looked haggard and miserable. She clutched Yun Qiao's hand tightly and asked her breathlessly, "Doctor Ye, am I, am I not well?"

Yun Qiao suppressed his panic, put on a smile, and tried to comfort her in a relaxed tone: "Sister Meng, don't overthink it. Even if you give birth to a child, you won't be able to do it."

"Giving birth is like going through hell. It's not as easy as you say." Meng Que's eyes were filled with tears as she said fearfully, "I've already given birth to one child. I can tell there's something wrong with this one. I probably won't be able to deliver it."

Yun Qiaohui held her hand and said, "Sister Meng, don't be afraid. Medical technology has advanced so much that even if a natural birth fails, we still have other options."

Meng Que's bloodshot eyes lit up: "You mean Kai?"

Yun Qiao nodded: "Yes, it's a Caesarian section." Yun Qiao comforted Meng Que: "Caesarian sections are very common in big cities. After anesthesia and a good sleep, the baby will be out. It's not a big deal."

"That's good." Meng Que endured the pain and smiled weakly through tears: "I, I have it, I can be saved."

Yun Qiao finally managed to comfort Meng Que, but at this moment, a high-pitched female voice suddenly came from outside the door.

"No, I don't agree. She's mumbling..." The person outside probably realized that the noise was too loud and could be heard by the people inside, so he quickly covered her mouth to stop her from speaking.

But Meng Que had already heard it, her face turned pale, and her eyes immediately fell into despair again.

Yun Qiao cursed the people outside inwardly for being mean, and didn't even bother to prick up his ears to listen to the noise. He held Meng Que's hand again and comforted her.

At this time, the atmosphere outside the house was very solemn.

Meng Que's mother-in-law was dragged to the east wing away from the main hall. The women's director Jiang Ling also came and started to work on her after hearing the whole story.

Meng Que's mother-in-law was unmoved. "No, I don't agree to send him to the hospital for treatment! What good is a hospital? If someone gets cut for no reason, what will happen if he dies?"

Jiang Ling said angrily, "This is not for no reason. Your daughter-in-law can't give birth. If you don't open up, are you going to watch her die with the baby in her belly?"

Granny Meng Que: "Isn't Doctor Wang a good midwife? Old Liu's family praises her like she's a deity in heaven. She must have a way."

Jiang Ling subconsciously looked at Wang Ying.

Wang Ying said sullenly, "Don't flatter me. I'm a mortal, not a deity, and my abilities are limited. Your daughter-in-law's baby is growing well, but too well. It's oversized, with a large head, and it's stuck in her pelvis. In this situation, if we want to save both the baby and the mother, there's no other option but to perform a Caesarean section."

Mother-in-law Meng Que said, "I don't believe it. Doctor Wang, don't talk nonsense just to make money. My daughter-in-law has already given birth to one child, so how could she not give birth to this one? Isn't the baby just a little bigger? His father was also a big boy, weighing over 9 kilograms. I went through three days and three nights of pain, but I still gave birth to him."

"Besides, a doll you take out of your belly is not as smart as one that crawled out of your belly. I can't open my belly for this reason."

Wang Ying couldn't help but sneer when he heard this: "If you don't open your mouth, the baby will suffocate. Suffocation will cause cerebral palsy. You still expect a fool to become smart?"

I think you are dreaming.

Granny Meng Que glared at Wang Ying: "You cursed my grandson?!"

Wang Ying was too lazy to pay attention to her. She had been in the business for decades and had seen all kinds of unreasonable family members.

She had seen both truly foolish people and those pretending to be foolish before, and she knew what the old woman was up to at a glance.
