Before Song Qing could react, the other aunties had already spat out several times.

"What nonsense is this little girl talking about?"

"Exactly, isn't this a curse?"

Everyone was a little nervous, but since Zhou Lian said she had already given birth several times and that she had already asked for a midwife, no one paid much attention.

Lu Ronghui was also sitting in the kitchen. She clearly saw that after Bai Jiamei heard the child say something, she suddenly said the name of the woman in labor. After receiving a positive answer, she insisted that the woman would have a difficult childbirth.

"Really, you believe me."

Bai Jiamei didn't expect that no one would believe her at all. What could she do?

She only learned from the book that Zhou Lian would die in childbirth, and when she said this, everyone would just think she was crazy.

"Alright, young lady, you should go back and sit down. You might be scared since this is the first time you've seen something like this. You'll understand when you get married. Every woman has to go through this when she gives birth."

"Even if you're scared, don't talk nonsense. Go inside quickly."

Several aunties quickly pulled Bai Jiamei into the kitchen. The unmarried young girl was probably terrified, as it was the first time she had ever seen anything like this.

The midwife the villagers had found hadn't arrived yet; two older women were inside, and the rest of the people were waiting outside.

Has the baby started giving birth?

"You think this is like pulling up sweet potatoes? You can just yank one out in a flash."

Everyone in the courtyard burst into laughter. Inside the house, Zhou Lian also managed a weak smile. She wasn't panicking; she just hoped the baby would be born soon.

After a while, the sound of the engine starting up finally came from inside the house.

Zhou Lian's pregnancy was quite large, and despite her efforts, she couldn't deliver the baby smoothly and kept struggling to breathe.

Bai Jiamei was pacing anxiously in the kitchen. She didn't want the plot of the book to continue to develop so smoothly. Was Zhou Lian really going to die as the plot suggested?

And she had to follow the plot and become someone's stepmother, taking care of five troublesome brats?

The thought of this made her extremely anxious.

Zhou Lian's children originally had no feelings for Bai Jiamei, but when they saw her cursing their mother, they all glared at her hatefully.

"Bai Jiamei, don't worry."

"Exactly, it's not like you gave birth to her, why are you in such a hurry?"

The educated youth were all very puzzled. They had only just arrived and were already experiencing this kind of thing, so they were all somewhat dissatisfied. Zhou Lian was currently lying in their dormitory.

How should I sleep tonight?

They were new to the area and had no idea who it was, so they could only hide their dissatisfaction. They never expected that Bai Jiamei would curse the woman in labor. Did she have a death wish? This was a villager.

If something really happens, wouldn't we have to come to them?

But after a while, everyone realized that she wasn't dissatisfied, but genuinely worried that the mother would have a difficult labor. Strangely enough, even the experienced older women said that the mother's condition was very good and that she would probably give birth soon.

"Auntie, how is she?" Song Qing had taken Bai Jiamei's words to heart; her anxiety just now didn't seem feigned.

"It's alright, it's alright. Maybe you're still young and haven't had many children yet. You don't know that if you have many children, it's easy to give birth to more later."

These young wives were probably frightened by what that little girl said. Listen, how strong the voice of the woman in labor is!

Everyone got busy again, the water was boiled, and the rest of the people chatted in the yard.

"How is Tian Si's family doing?"

"I haven't seen the head yet, but I just checked and the baby's position is good."

Zhou Lian was sweating profusely, and her strength was dwindling. She guessed that the child was really too big.

"Don't rush, it hasn't started yet!"

"It'll probably take a while, so try harder later."

The people inside quickly comforted Zhou Lian, telling her not to use up all her strength. Actually, at this moment, Zhou Lian had already sensed that something was wrong.

In her previous pregnancies, she could give birth shortly after labor began, unlike this one where she's been in labor for so long with no sign of labor.

Has the midwife arrived?

"No, I heard she delivered babies in the next village. She's a young new bride."

So it's her first pregnancy. It'll be a while.

"See, I told you her condition wasn't right." Bai Jiamei waited in the kitchen for a long time but didn't hear the sound of the baby being born. Even Zhou Lian's own voice had become much softer.

"Are you a doctor?" Song Qing asked Bai Jiamei with some doubt. She had met Bai Jiamei a few times before, but she didn't know that Bai Jiamei had such abilities.

"No, but believe me, get him to the hospital quickly."

"Sister, don't talk nonsense. This sister-in-law will definitely be able to give birth to the baby safely."

Bai Rongjun didn't know why her older sister was so insistent that the pregnant woman would have problems, so she could only try to make amends for her.

They're in the same boat now; if Bai Jiamei gets into trouble, it will affect her too.

At this point, the people inside the room also began to realize that something was wrong. The woman's voice was getting weaker and weaker, while the blood she was bleeding was getting redder and redder.

"Girl, can you still hear me?"

They checked the baby's position again and leaned down to look, finding that the baby's head hadn't changed at all.

Zhou Lian was exhausted. She knew from the contractions that the baby should be born, but the baby was stuck.

"No, the baby is probably too big to be born."

"What should we do then? Go and urge the midwife."

Everyone was in a flurry of activity. The educated youth who had been cooking in the kitchen stood up and looked at Bai Jiamei with curiosity. Could what she said be true?

This group of educated youth were truly remarkable, each one more extraordinary than the last.

Zhou Lian's condition suddenly became serious; no matter how much people called her, she became unresponsive and weak.

"Quickly take her to the military hospital," Song Qing said hastily.

"Yes, yes, take her to the hospital."

How to get them there? This is a real problem. If we use a wheelbarrow to take them there, it will take too long, and the children might get into trouble.

"I'll go call the tractor; you guys get the stuff ready."

One person rushed out into the field and shouted for the tractor to come.

Song Qing thought for a moment and decided that she should hurry back to the military hospital and tell the doctors to get ready. The aunties all agreed to let her go back quickly, since it would take a while to get a tractor from the field.

Song Qing quickly ran to Aunt Tian's house, got on her bicycle, and headed to the hospital. The people at the educated youth settlement were also prepared; they wrapped the woman in a blanket and waited for the tractor to arrive.

"Hey girl, wake up!"

Zhou Lian's condition is getting worse and worse; she can barely hear people calling her anymore.

"This kid has been holding it in for too long; it's probably going to cause some trouble."

Giving birth is like a life-or-death ordeal for a woman. No matter how many pregnancies she has, there are always risks. Everyone gathers around the woman in labor and starts pinching her philtrum. She mustn't faint at this time.

"Should we feed her something?"

Liu Ruogang stood in the kitchen, not daring to speak. But seeing that Zhou Lian was not doing well, she quickly took out the malted milk powder she had brought from her bag, and several aunties helped her feed Zhou Lian.

Why isn't the tractor here yet?

The tractor is probably busy in the field right now. Bai Jiamei was initially very anxious, but now she has resigned herself to her fate. It seems that Zhou Lian is going to follow the plot.

"The tractor is here!"
