A story about the female lead's redemption.
This is a passerby's perspective version of the synopsis.
The Fengyue Brothel is, after all, a brothel. What good people could possib...
"No need to invite me, it's right here!"
Huo Xiaolong was always on the lookout for trouble in the red-light district. The little girl dragged Gu Shilin, who was teaching Hou Xiangxiang, straight to Scarface's house. Behind them followed a young apprentice carrying a medicine box and Miss Hou holding a needle and thread.
Fu Ping was in so much pain on the bed that she couldn't make a sound. Scarface didn't care whether his wife would let him in or not, and walked in directly with Doctor Gu.
Seeing his usually vibrant wife transformed like this, the man quickly went over, grabbed her hand, and whispered in her ear...
"Honey, it's all over now. Doctor Gu is here, so we'll definitely be fine. I don't want the baby anymore, I don't want it anymore. As long as you're alright, I'll do anything."
Doctor Gu looked at the midwife and asked about the condition of Fu Ping's womb. The midwife shook her head and said...
“There’s no way. All three children are stuck there. She can’t give birth. It’s impossible for her to give birth unless she kills them all with a bowl of medicine and then takes the children out one by one.”
Before Doctor Gu could speak, Scarface said...
"Okay, whatever you say. As long as my wife can live, I'll do anything."
"Don't make things worse!" the old man admonished.
Then Dr. Gu continued to ask...
What are the chances that the pregnant woman will survive?
"Twenty percent."
Two percent? That's not enough. Ginseng pills for a spendthrift son can only prolong life. It's better to try the method she mentioned before.
"I have a way that can save both the pregnant woman and the child, with a 50% chance of survival."
Scarface nodded hurriedly, choking back tears as he spoke.
"As long as... as long as my wife can live, I'll do anything, please... really, please."
"I have to cut open her stomach and take the baby out. The anesthetic won't cause her any suffering, but you have to be mentally prepared, in case..."
"Is this the only way?" Scarface's mother asked.
Scarface was so frightened by Doctor Gu's method that he couldn't make a sound. He held Fuping's hand and wiped the sweat from her forehead little by little.
"This is the only one left."
"Then let's do it."
She knew her son loved his wife, but things had come to this point, and since her son was useless, she had to make a decision.
The frail duckweed was in so much pain that she could no longer move, but she could hear people talking. The woman nodded at Scarface with all her might.
Since we're going to die anyway, let's choose the one with the higher probability.
"Everyone go out, except the midwife and the two little girls."
No one present questioned Doctor Gu's words; Hou Xiangxiang's skill in sewing people by hand was famous in the medical circles of the border town.
Doctor Gu gave Fu Ping some anesthetic powder, and the woman fell into a deep sleep. The old man then spoke to Huo Xiaolong.
"Will you use the knife or should I?"
Recently, the little girl has been using the name of Mando to get Lu Wangji to make her a bunch of scalpels that are as thin as cicada wings. She finally picked out a few that she was satisfied with. Although they are not as good as the ones she used in her previous life, they can still be used for a C-section.
With this thing, she and Hou Xiangxiang spent even less time at home. They would spend their days squatting in the animal market, looking for any family with injured animals that had suffered difficult childbirth. If they could heal them, they would not charge a fee; if they could not, they would have to pay for the animals themselves.
This was the first time any of the people present had ever performed a cesarean section on a human body.
"I'll do it."
Huo Xiaolong had made up her mind. If the first cut went too deep, she would give him some spiritual spring water or something, which could save his life. Besides, she practiced martial arts, so her hands were steady, and she had also studied human anatomy diagrams. Doctor Gu was a specialist in traditional Chinese medicine, so this kind of surgery would be a bit difficult for him.
"As long as the wound isn't too big and there's not much bleeding, it's fine," the old man said from the side.
Moonlight, oh moonlight, please bless my aunt and her child, may they be safe and sound.
The blade sank into the woman's belly on the bed. With a slight movement of Huo Xiaolong's fingertips, blood slid down her skin with a 'whoosh'. The people in the room didn't even dare to breathe loudly.
"We can see the children now," the little dumpling whispered.
"Then what?"
"We need to get the baby out," the midwife said.
The little boy took a can of alcohol wipes from Hou Xiangxiang's backpack, wiped the midwife's hands thoroughly, then put a thin film glove on her and wiped them again, gesturing to her.
That means, you go ahead, none of us three know how to handle this, none of us have ever given birth before, and none of us have any experience.
Everyone has their own expertise. Just like during a normal delivery, the left hand squeezes the belly, while the right hand supports the baby's head, and a little life appears before them.
"Ugh, it's really ugly."
The baby still had some white vernix caseosa on him, and Huo Xiaolong and Hou Xiangxiang both took a step back.
"Babies are born like this, looking like red-skinned monkeys, but they'll be fine after a month."
The midwife was talking to them when she gave the baby two slaps on the bottom.
"Wow!"
The baby cries, and the oriole sings sweetly.
A new life has begun.
Ye Zheng, who had wanted to come out and bask in the sun but was caught up in the noise, was also at the door. She had originally wanted to come and see what was going on, but after hearing the cries coming from inside the house, the young lady turned around and looked at the people coming and going on the street.
Suddenly I felt relieved; some things and some people aren't that important after all.
The important thing is to live in the present.
"Congratulations! Mother and children are safe and sound. Your wife has given your family two healthy boys and a daughter!"
Fu Ping woke up to the sound of Scarface crying. When the woman opened her eyes, she saw her somewhat fierce-looking husband by the bedside, pulling her hand and wiping away her tears. Even the scar on her face looked aggrieved.
For some reason, he started crying more and more.
It wasn't like this when we first met.
Back then, he wasn't a good person. In order to make me stay with him, he even threatened the madam, carrying a large knife on his shoulder, scaring the thugs of Fanghua Tower into silence.
