Chapter 433 Impact on Lifespan
"Aunt Qing, you're here." The nurse saw her and said as if seeing her was enough, "Miss, Miss seems to have no strength left."
Aunt Qing's expression turned cold. The most frightening thing about giving birth is not having enough strength.
"Has Mr. Lin eaten anything?" she asked, stepping forward to feel Mr. Lin's pulse.
"I just ate half a bowl of noodles." The wet nurse replied.
Aunt Qing nodded, asked someone to cut ginseng slices and prepare them, and then went to prescribe a labor-inducing drug. After writing the prescription, she took it outside and asked Doctor Zhou to make the decision.
Jiang Hanyu was already nervous. Two or three hours had passed and Mrs. Lin still hadn't given birth to the baby. Doctor Zhou and Aunt Qing were still discussing the prescription. He couldn't bear it any longer.
"Doctor Zhou, Aunt Qing, tell me the truth, my dear, my dear, is it dangerous?"
Doctor Zhou and Aunt Qing glanced at each other and didn't reply immediately. Jiang Hanyu's face immediately turned pale. He grabbed Doctor Zhou's arm and said, "Doctor Zhou, you must save Qingqing, you must save him, child, child. If you really can't save him, then, then..."
He didn't finish the rest of the words, and tears started to flow.
Doctor Zhou sighed, "Mrs. Jiang was too inactive during her pregnancy. Although she didn't eat much in the later stages, the baby is still too big for her. If she can't give birth, I'm afraid both she and the baby will be in danger."
"I will protect Qingqing, I will definitely protect Qingqing." Jiang Hanyu was already anxious.
"Please listen to me first. This is not a question of who to save. If the baby cannot be born, Mrs. Jiang will also be in danger. I now want to use needles to stimulate Mrs. Jiang's acupoints so that she can have the strength to give birth to the baby." Doctor Zhou tried to explain to Jiang Hanyu in simple words.
Jiang Hanyu didn't understand what he was saying at all, but that didn't stop him from trusting Doctor Zhou. He nodded immediately and said, "Whatever method you use, as long as it's good for Qingqing, you must protect her."
Doctor Zhou then told Aunt Qing the acupuncture points and methods again, and asked Aunt Qing to repeat it before letting her in.
This method of acupuncture with silver needles is considered to be Doctor Zhou's unique skill. Even his apprentices don't know it. But Aunt Qing is his niece, and the Lin family's current situation is indeed dangerous, so it doesn't matter if he teaches her.
Aunt Qing glanced at Doctor Zhou, then looked at Jiang Hanyu with some embarrassment: "I just felt Mrs. Lin's belly, and the baby is quite big. If she can't give birth, I'm afraid she'll have to have a cesarean section."
Jiang Hanyu didn't understand what Aunt Qing meant, but he nodded anyway: "As long as Qingqing can give birth to the baby as soon as possible and ensure that both she and the baby are safe, anything is fine."
Doctor Zhou understood, but for a moment he didn't know how to explain it to Jiang Hanyu.
Seeing that Jiang Hanyu was more concerned about Lin Dongjia's health, Aunt Qing didn't say much and went into the delivery room again.
With Aunt Qing's silver needle acupuncture, she helped push the fetus down in Lin Dongjia's belly. An hour later, Lin Dongjia finally gave birth to her son.
The situation was better than Aunt Qing expected, and no scissors were needed.
The midwife took the baby to weigh it. Although it was premature, the baby weighed five kilograms and was not small.
The nurse held the child in her arms and showed it to Jiang Hanyu. Jiang Hanyu only took one look and asked, "How is Qingqing?"
The nurse's face was full of smiles: "Aunt Qing is taking the young lady's pulse, it seems that there is nothing wrong."
"That's good, that's good. Doctor Zhou, please come and check on the child. Is he okay?" Jiang Hanyu pulled Doctor Zhou and then remembered to ask the wet nurse, "Did you say this was a son or a daughter?"
The nanny was very satisfied with Jiang Hanyu's performance and said happily: "It's a son. The young lady gave birth to a son."
Jiang Hanyu laughed happily: "Okay, okay, I, Jiang Hanyu, also have a son. Everyone will get a reward. Three months' salary, no, half a year's salary."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present expressed their gratitude.
Doctor Zhou asked the nurse to carry the child to the next room. After checking the child's pulse, he breathed a sigh of relief: "Although it was born prematurely, the child is well taken care of. With careful care, he should be able to be like a normal child."
Jiang Hanyu was so happy after hearing this: "Doctor Zhou, it's all thanks to you. I must thank you very much."
If it weren't for Doctor Zhou, not only would the child be well taken care of, it would be uncertain whether Lin Dongjia could even keep the baby.
For a moment, the whole yard was filled with laughter, but the atmosphere in the house became tense.
Because Lin Dongjia's placenta hadn't been delivered yet, Wen Wenpo was anxious: "What's going on? Why hasn't the placenta come out yet?"
If the placenta doesn't come out soon, I'm afraid Mr. Lin will suffer heavy bleeding.
Aunt Qing was also a little anxious. Lin Dongjia was a little exhausted after giving birth and had fallen into a semi-comatose state. Seeing that Lin Dongjia had started to bleed from below, Wen Wenpo became anxious and took action directly, using a clever method to pull out the placenta.
Aunt Qing used silver needles to prick several acupuncture points on Lin Dongjia's body before taking his pulse. She heaved a sigh of relief, knowing that Lin Dongjia was fine.
The two men breathed a sigh of relief as they saw that the bleeding from Lin Dongjia's lower body was getting less and less.
After everything was cleaned up, Jiang Hanyu asked Doctor Zhou to take Lin Dongjia's pulse.
Doctor Zhou only said that Mrs. Lin had hurt her body during childbirth, so it would be best for her to take more care of herself and stay in bed for two months.
Jiang Hanyu nodded and promised to make sure Lin Dongjia had a good confinement period.
Seeing that the baby had been born and Lin Dongjia was fine, Aunt Qing was about to leave, but Jiang Hanyu was worried that something might have happened to Lin Dongjia, so he asked Aunt Qing to stay at home for one night and let her go home tomorrow after Lin Dongjia was fine.
Aunt Qing agreed after only a moment's hesitation. After all, it was already the middle of the night, and even if she went to sleep next door, she would wake up Ye Mingzhu and the others.
Jiang Hanyu immediately asked someone to arrange food and a room for Aunt Qing.
When Aunt Qing left with the servants, she gave Doctor Zhou a wink, which was seen by Jiang Hanyu.
"Doctor Zhou, what did Aunt Qing mean just now?" It's no wonder he was suspicious. Although Lin Dongjia had a difficult pregnancy, the birth was not slow. The baby was born in just a few hours, and both mother and child were safe, which made him feel unreal.
"Although Madam Jiang gave birth to a child smoothly, her health is damaged and she is not suitable for having children again. Moreover, if she does not take good care of herself, it may affect her lifespan." Doctor Zhou directly said what Aunt Qing was not convenient to say.
"What?" Jiang Hanyu's face changed drastically. "Wasn't the child born safely? How could it affect Qingqing's lifespan?"
"Mrs. Jiang is extremely lucky to be able to give birth to a child. As I said just now, if you don't take good care of yourself, it will affect your lifespan. In the future, Mrs. Jiang should not be tired or angry." Doctor Zhou felt that if it weren't for Aunt Qing, Mr. Lin's child would not be born.
Jiang Hanyu finally breathed a sigh of relief: "From now on, I will definitely not let Qingqing get angry or tired. Is this all right?"
Doctor Zhou felt that he didn't understand, so he repeated: "Besides these, Mrs. Jiang's body is no longer able to bear children."
