Wang Shuilian frequently visits Qijia Village. If someone knocks on the door late at night, it's probably either an emergency or someone giving birth.
After hurriedly getting dressed, Wang Shuilian came to open the door and, by the light of the torch, saw Huo Yingjie clearly.
"Please come with me to Qijia Village, Dr. Wang. My mother-in-law is about to give birth," Huo Yingjie said politely and gently.
Wang Shuilian was taken aback again. Although she was very familiar with the people of Qijia Village, she had been avoiding He Tiantian's family for years, and things had been peaceful.
Now that someone has come to invite her, she hesitates somewhat.
If the birth goes smoothly, that's to be expected; but if something unexpected happens, then it's a recipe for enmity!
I've heard that the He family, and He Tiantian's husband, are all extraordinary people. If anything happens to them, their whole family will never have peace.
"You know our family's situation. It's not appropriate for me to go. You should find someone else," Wang Shuilian said softly. She didn't want to celebrate He Tiantian's Mother's Day and didn't want to cause trouble.
Firstly, to avoid suspicion, and secondly, because of my cousin Qi Jianguo and my aunt's family, who were living in misery.
Huo Yingjie narrowed his eyes, his sharp gaze fixed on Wang Shuilian, and asked, "Are you going or not?"
It's just one sentence, very simple.
However, these words struck Wang Shuilian like a thunderbolt.
Wang Shuilian was almost out of breath at that moment and took two steps back.
After quickly calculating in her mind, Wang Shuilian realized that if she didn't go, and something happened to He Tiantian's mother, she wouldn't be able to escape the responsibility either, as she would be seen as someone who stood by and watched someone die!
The good news for everyone is that Wang Shuping has successfully given birth.
“Go!” Wang Shuilian said; she was a smart woman.
This is not an ordinary personal grudge; it involves human lives. If something goes wrong, it will be a fight to the death.
"Alright," Huo Yingjie said. "My mother-in-law is fine; you'll definitely get your share of the benefits!"
Wang Shuilian didn't answer. She went inside, packed some things into her medical kit, and went to Qijia Village with Huo Yingjie.
Huo Yingjie had a torch tied to the handlebars, and Wang Shuilian sat on the back seat.
Huo Yingjie rode his bicycle very fast, which frightened Wang Shuilian so much that she held tightly to the back seat, afraid that she might fall off if she wasn't careful.
Huo Yingjie is really something. Even during the day, a bicycle wouldn't go that fast, let alone at night.
Huo Yingjie brought Wang Shuilian over in less than half an hour.
He Tiantian had already boiled two large pots of water, and then took out the things her mother had prepared for childbirth.
In Qijia Village, babies are born in haystacks so as not to dirty the house.
He Tiantian laid a thick layer of grass on the ground, covered it with an old mattress, and covered herself with an old but clean blanket, which had been prepared in advance.
Hearing the commotion, Liang Hongyu came over with Secretary Qi to take a look.
Liang Hongyu and He Tiantian helped Wang Shuping to the kitchen.
Everything was ready; all that was left was to wait for the midwife.
When Wang Shuilian arrived, everyone looked at her.
Liang Hongyu smiled and stepped forward, saying, "Shui Lian, you'll have to work hard this time!"
Wang Shuilian's mind flashed with the image of Huo Yingjie's eyes, as if he wanted to kill her whole family. She quickly said awkwardly, "Doctors are like parents. What's hard or not hard in this line of work? Let me wash my hands first. The man should leave first!"
Seeing that Wang Shuilian wasn't putting on airs, Liang Hongyu felt slightly relieved and didn't go out.
He Tiantian poured hot water for Wang Shuilian and helped her wash her hands.
He Tiantian was still wary of Wang Shuilian, after all, her mother's life was at stake, and she dared not be careless in the slightest.
With Liang Hongyu by her side, He Tiantian felt slightly reassured.
When He Tiantian came out to pour water, Huo Yingjie took a small porcelain bottle and whispered, "There is a pill here that I specially made before. It can increase your mother-in-law's strength and reduce her pain. Take it and secretly give it to your mother-in-law."
He Tiantian believed that every medicine has some degree of toxicity, and thus became suspicious of Huo Yingjie's medicine.
"Have you forgotten my skills?" Huo Yingjie asked softly. "Don't worry, your mother-in-law will be perfectly fine after eating this."
He Tiantian then remembered that Huo Yingjie's previous incarnation was an ancient god!
"Yes, yes, I almost forgot if you hadn't mentioned it." He Tiantian was overjoyed and quickly took it. "Thank you, Brother Yingjie."
He Tiantian washed the basin clean, took the pills, and went into the temporary delivery room.
To keep warm, He Tiantian even lit a brazier.
Seeing that her mother's head was covered in sweat, He Tiantian took a dry towel to wipe her sweat and put the green pill into her mother's mouth.
The pill melted instantly in Wang Shuping's mouth, relieving her pain and giving her a renewed sense of strength.
"Let me check if the baby is in the correct position first," Wang Shuilian said, then lifted the blanket and placed her hands on Wang Shuping's belly.
Wang Shuping touched it and nodded: "The baby is in the correct position, don't worry."
Then he looked at the palace entrance and said, "We'll have to wait a little longer."
"Thank you for your trouble," Wang Shuping said gratefully. No matter what had happened before, she was grateful as long as Wang Shuilian did her best to save her life.
Wang Shuilian smiled and said, "It's no trouble at all. I would do the same for any other family. Come, let me take your pulse again!"
Wang Shuping stretched out her arm so that Wang Shuilian could take her pulse.
Judging from the pulse, Wang Shuilian could finally rest assured that Wang Shuping was in good health and that this pregnancy should be fine.
The He family was worried something might happen, but Wang Shuilian was even more worried!
She had no intention of harming anyone, but there had been a grudge between them before, and now that Wang Shuping had gotten into trouble, she couldn't explain herself!
I've heard that you need to eat before giving birth; if you don't eat, you won't have the strength to give birth.
He Tiantian cooked a bowl of noodles and added four eggs.
Wang Shuping doesn't eat much. When she saw her daughter bring over a large bowl, she frowned and said, "Sweetie, I can't finish this much."
"Eat as much as you can," He Tiantian said. "Eat more so you'll have energy."
Wang Shuping ate half of it, but couldn't eat anymore.
Half an hour after eating, Wang Shuping's abdominal pain became more intense.
Wang Shuilian looked at it, washed her hands, took out alcohol from the medicine box, wiped the scissors to disinfect them, placed them aside, and covered them with clean gauze, as she would need them later.
"Alright, now you can push," Wang Shuilian said. "Your baby is in the correct position, your pulse is strong, and your cervix is dilated. Just push as I say. Exhale, inhale, push..."
Although Wang Shuping felt pain, it was within her tolerance level, and she felt as if she had inexhaustible strength.
He Tiantian didn't dare to look, but she was worried about her mother, so she held her mother's hand and said, "Mom, don't be afraid, keep going, keep going!"
Hearing her daughter's voice, Wang Shuping felt even more relieved.
Finally, after a scream, Wang Shuping's voice softened.
Immediately following was a strong cry from a newborn baby, which echoed throughout the temporary delivery room.
"It's born! It's born!" Liang Hongyu exclaimed excitedly. "Oh my, Shuping, it's a son!"
Touched, He Tiantian said, "Mom, I have a little brother! I have a little brother!"
