Starting as a Mute Girl? I Thrive in Famine Years

Special forces operative Jiang Huaixu transmigrated, becoming a seemingly dull and mute girl.

Her grandmother secretly abused her and even planned to sell her off? Jiang Huaixu was furious, d...

Chapter 309 Family Matters

The carriage stopped in front of the Qiao family's gate. Shen Huaixu and Jiang Wei jumped off the carriage and followed the housekeeper towards the gate.

While walking on the road, Shen Huaixu learned that Qiao Baozhu had just started the car, so Master Qiao hurriedly ordered the housekeeper to pick her up.

"Everything needed at home has been prepared long ago. The room that I asked you to prepare when the county lady came last time has also been cleaned. We are just waiting for the county lady to come."

Shen Huaixu nodded with satisfaction. The last time she came to see her, she felt that it would be difficult for Qiao Baozhu to give birth to this baby on her own, so she stated her requirements in advance to prepare for the worst case scenario.

I didn't expect Mr. Qiao to be so quick and efficient. It seems that he really loves his daughter.

At this time, sweat was dripping from Qiao Baozhu's round face from time to time, but her expression did not show any pain. A maid standing beside her was wiping the sweat off her face.

The windows in the room were closed tightly, perhaps because they were afraid that Qiao Baozhu would catch a cold. There wasn't even an ice cube maker in the room. In the July weather, a wave of heat hit her in the face as she entered the room.

A mother came up and introduced Shen Huaixu to everyone in the room. Several gorgeously dressed women and Qiao Baozhu's husband Xue Wulang all looked at Shen Huaixu with inquiry and curiosity in their eyes.

Shen Huaixu recognized that one of the women with a teardrop mole under her eye was Qiao Baozhu's stepmother.

After his mother finished introducing him, Xue Wulang bowed deeply to Shen Huaixu and said, "Thank you, my lady, for coming so late at night. It's just..."

He glanced at Qiao Baozhu and said, "My wife was just in pain for a while, but she's feeling much better now."

Upon hearing this, the other women all bowed to Shen Huaixu.

Shen Huaixu has already adapted to the current situation. She only said a few times at the beginning that she was a doctor when she treated patients and saved lives, and she didn't say it later.

It's useless to say it, because her title of county lady can also deter some weirdos from being presumptuous when she is treating patients.

"It's okay. You were right to call me here early. You all should go out first. I want to see Madam Qiao."

The women looked at each other in bewilderment. They were all Baozhu's aunts, cousins, and had come here out of concern. They could have gone to the inner room for the consultation, so why were they avoiding it? This county lady's treatment was truly strange.

Unfortunately, they can only complain in their hearts. No matter how rich they are, they cannot offend the county lady, not to mention that the county lady has a father who is like the "King of Hell".

Mrs. Qiao smiled before she spoke. "Since the county lady has said so, let's go sit in the pavilion outside and have some fruit and tea. It's not a big deal to just stand here."

The others echoed.

Mrs. Qiao was graceful and elegant. She bowed and then left with her people.

Several women came to the pavilion, and the servants placed the prepared food on the table one by one.

"County Lady Mingyi looks so young. If she hadn't cured His Majesty, I really doubt that the rumors out there are just groundless."

"She is obviously a county lady, but she lowers herself to become a doctor. I don't know what she is thinking." A look of envy and confusion flashed across the face of a woman in her early twenties.

Merchants are at the bottom of society. No matter how much money they hold or how much gold and silver they wear, they cannot gain respect from others. Naturally, they do not understand the actions of the county lord Shen Huaixu.

Madam Qiao smiled and said, "I heard that Princess Mingyi had suffered a lot before being found by Marquis Xuanping. Perhaps because she had been through so much, she doesn't care about these things."

No matter what the others thought, they all nodded.

Xue Wulang whispered a few words to Qiao Baozhu and then walked out.

Shen Huaixu walked to Qiao Baozhu, took a look at her big belly and round face, and felt a little worried.

She had previously seen the condition of the baby in Qiao Baozhu's belly, and the fetal position was not correct. In this situation, even the best midwife would shake her head.

"County Lady," Qiao Baozhu saw that Lady Mingyi was staring at her stomach without saying anything, so she spoke first, saying pitifully, "I haven't eaten that much in the past two days..."

What's the point of eating less for two days? Shen Huaixu wanted to sigh, but he was afraid that the pregnant woman would think too much, which would be bad for her body and mind.

"Mrs. Qiao, just listen to my advice." She reached out to Jiang Wei for a pulse pillow, "Let me take your pulse first."

After taking her pulse, Shen Huaixu asked a few more questions about how Qiao Baozhu felt at the moment, and motioned for the midwife to come forward and call her if there was anything. Then she left the room.

Outside the house, two men were standing at the door waiting, one was Xue Wulang, and the other was Mr. Qiao who had not been seen just now.

Mr. Qiao is not tall and is fat. He walks with a swagger, which is quite funny. Qiao Baozhu seems to have inherited his height and is only about 1.5 meters tall. I don’t know if he wanted to improve the genes of the next generation, so he found a tall Xue Wulang. Now, the genes have been improved, but the unfavorable factors for having children have also come together.

As soon as they saw Shen Huaixu, they immediately asked nervously, "How is Baozhu?"

"Excuse me, both of you."

Walking into another room, Shen Huaixu spoke out his thoughts, "Master Qiao, do you still remember what I said last time?"

Mr. Qiao immediately said, "I remember it very clearly. They said that the baby was too big and in an abnormal position. Baozhu might not be able to give birth and might need a caesarean section... Speaking of this, County Master, I am really confused. Why can the daughter-in-law of the Zhenyuan Marquis give birth, but my Baozhu can't give birth on her own?"

He asked Lady Mingyi for help because he had heard about this incident and wanted to give it a try. At that time, both the midwife and the doctor shook their heads, but he made a great decision.

Chen Huaixu said, "If the baby is large and the mother's frame and pelvis are suitable, then we can give it a try. But you all know Madam Qiao's situation. She has a small frame, so it's quite difficult. If you had come to me earlier, I might have had time to find a way to correct her fetal position. It's too late now."

Master Qiao sighed, "It's all my fault. If I had known she'd get pregnant, I wouldn't have brought her all these delicacies and food, and I wouldn't have had the servants stew tonics for her every day."

Shen Huaixu and Jiang Wei opened their eyes wide in surprise at the same time.

Shen Huaixu thought that after she heard about the situation of the Qiao family, she imagined a big drama of house fighting. Could it be that the culprit was this father?

Jiang Wei was thinking, how happy would life be if she had delicacies from land and sea and supplements to eat every day?

"Dad, it's all my son-in-law's fault. When Baozhu first became pregnant, she vomited all the time. She couldn't eat or sleep well. I felt bad for her. Later, when I saw her appetite was getting better, I didn't stop her. Later, mother reminded me several times, but I just couldn't bear to control Baozhu..."

Shen Huaixu frowned as he looked at the man in front of him, and didn't want to say anything more.

Fu Yin's sharp comments: [Self-righteous.]

Chen Huaixu gave a thumbs up, [You are right. ]

"Don't take the blame for now, both of you. Remember to listen to the doctor's advice more often in the future." Shen Huaixu interrupted the conversation between the old man and the young man, "Can you take me to the prepared room to take a look?"

"Okay, okay, please come in, Princess." Master Qiao hurried forward to lead the way.

After seeing the delivery room arranged by Mr. Qiao, Shen Huaixu just walked out of the house and ran into Mrs. Qiao.

"Why doesn't Madam go to entertain the guests?" Mr. Qiao's face was hidden in the shadow of the corridor, his expression could not be seen, but his tone was a little heavy.

"It's getting late. How can we keep them here? I'll order them to go home." Madam Qiao kept smiling. She looked at Shen Huaixu and asked, "I wonder what the county lady is planning?"
