"Chunling has only been pregnant for eight and a half months, not even nine months. The military doctor said that she is due next month. How come she is giving birth suddenly?" Chen Fengying frowned and asked anxiously.
Xia Xiaolan was panicked and confused. She had only been married for half a year and had never given birth to a child, so how could she know so much?
She just happened to live next door to Wang Chunling. "How could I know so much? I just heard a big commotion in the next room. Chunling said her water broke and she was shouting for help! Sisters-in-law, don't just stand there, go and take a look, don't let anyone get killed!"
"Oh my god! It must be Chunling's mother-in-law Li Jinhua who is causing trouble again! Let's all go together!"
Following a shout from the crowd, the sisters-in-law who were originally surrounding Chu Yue all moved their positions and rushed towards Wang Chunling's house.
Chu Yue, Lu Yuanbao, and Song Qi were just left behind. Song Qi had just been misunderstood and attacked by his sisters-in-law, and his face was still red. For a moment, he didn't dare to talk to Chu Yue at all.
Chu Yue looked at the backs of her sisters-in-law as they walked away. When she heard that someone was about to give birth, she became a little curious.
"Let's go check it out too."
Chu Yue held Lu Yuanbao's hand and chased after her sisters-in-law.
Seeing this, Song Qi hurriedly pulled his backpack and followed, "Sister-in-law, wait for me."
The family compound is not that big, and after passing a few intersections you will reach Wang Chunling’s home.
Outside the gate of the small courtyard of the bungalow, two bloated figures were pulling and tugging at each other. One of them was an old woman in her fifties or sixties, not tall and overweight, with deep sunken eye sockets and triangular slanted eyes. She looked very shrewd and mean.
The other one was a pregnant woman with a big round belly. She didn't look like she was eight months pregnant, but more like she was nine months pregnant and was about to give birth. Her belly was very big, but her limbs were long and thin, which looked very strange.
These two people are Wang Chunling, who was just mentioned by the sisters-in-law, and her mother-in-law Li Jinhua.
Li Jinhua was wearing a grey cotton jacket, standing at the gate with her hands on her hips, and she screamed, "You are not allowed to leave this door today without my permission!"
Along with the sound came Wang Chunling's miserable pleas.
Her round belly felt heavy and painful, and her legs were shaking. She had long been unable to sit still, and could not squat because of her big belly. In the end, she knelt on the cold ground in a twisted position, holding her belly with one hand and holding Li Jinhua's hand with the other.
"Mom, I beg you, please let me go to the hospital, I really can't stand the pain... Mom, please... I'm kneeling down and begging you..."
Wang Chunling's face was distorted in pain, her hair was disheveled, her face was pale, and her whole body was shivering. Although it was a very cold day, beads of sweat were appearing on her forehead.
Her eyes were already red, and she didn't know how many times she had cried.
But Wang Chunling's mother-in-law, Li Jinhua, was determined not to give in. She turned a deaf ear to Wang Chunling's cries and even sneered at her.
"What's a little pain for a woman? I think you're just too delicate. You can't even bear this little pain. Think about it, I gave birth to a baby every two years, and I gave birth to seven in a row. I didn't cry like you. Just bear it."
"Mom, I really can't take it anymore... It hurts so much, it hurts so much... I want to go to the hospital, I want to see a doctor..."
Wang Chunling was unable to convince Li Jinhua and she was shaking with pain. Cold sweat kept pouring down her face and she was struggling out of her instinct to survive.
She held her stomach with one hand and supported herself on the ground with the other, crawling on the ground to get to the hospital.
But Wang Chunling had just taken a step forward and hadn't even walked out of the gate when Li Jinhua grabbed her collar and dragged her back.
"Don't think I don't know what you're up to. You just want to go to the hospital and have a cesarean section... a cesarean section... to cut open your belly and take the baby out, so you can take painkillers and suffer less pain. I'm telling you, I won't agree! I've already inquired about it. Babies born through cesarean section have their brains affected and are dumber than those born through normal delivery! The one in your belly is our Zhou family's eldest grandson, and he must be born out of your belly little by little!"
"Mom, it's not that I don't want to, it's just that it hurts too much, I can't take it anymore, I really can't take it anymore..."
"Women have been giving birth this way for thousands of years, why is it that you can't? Don't show me the behavior of those capitalist ladies! You must give birth the way I tell you to. My eldest grandson must be the smartest. Go back and lie down on your bed."
Li Jinhua spoke in a loud and eloquent voice with a lot of reasons. She had no sympathy for Wang Chunling who had collapsed on the ground. She just grabbed her and wanted to drag her into the house.
Wang Chunling didn't even have the strength to cry out. Her hands kept shaking. She wanted to grab something, but she couldn't. In the end, she could only hold on to Li Jinhua's thighs.
She begged over and over again.
"Mom...Mom...let me go...hospital...I want to go to the hospital..."
When the sisters-in-law rushed over, they saw exactly this scene. A pregnant woman who was about to give birth was treated like this, which made even outsiders feel heartbroken.
"Aunt Jinhua, what are you doing? Why is Chunling sitting on the ground? It's so cold in the middle of winter. Help her up!"
"Aunt Li, giving birth is a big deal, we can't be careless. Since Chunling wants to go to the hospital, we'll take her there right away. There's a medical team and military doctors in the army, and it's so close, we can just walk a few steps and get there."
"Look, Chunling is in so much pain, hurry up and send her to the hospital. Make sure no one dies."
Chen Fengying, Huang Aifang and a group of people rushed forward anxiously. Some wanted to pull Wang Chunling up, some wanted to pull Li Jinhua away, and they all tried to help, but were all blocked by Li Jinhua.
Li Jinhua shouted, "This child is the first grandson of our Zhou family. If something goes wrong, can you take responsibility?"
The sisters-in-law stretched out their hands, but they suddenly froze in mid-air, feeling so embarrassed that they didn't know what to do.
Li Jinhua insisted on not letting Wang Chunling go to the hospital because she knew that if she went to the hospital, the doctor would perform a caesarean section on Wang Chunling. There have always been rumors that children born by caesarean section will affect their IQ.
Babies born naturally are squeezed and struggled out of the birth canal inside the mother's body. Such babies are smarter and have better health.
Ever since Wang Chunling became pregnant, Li Jinhua has been staring at her belly day and night. Everyone in the compound knows how much she cares about her eldest grandson.
If the child has a headache or fever after being born, or has poor academic performance, Li Jinhua will definitely pester them for the rest of their lives.
Most people in the compound can't stand Li Jinhua's sharp tongue.
So the sisters-in-law retreated one after another and could only watch Li Jinhua dragging Wang Chunling into the house and dragging Wang Chunling on the ground.
Wang Chunling's water had broken long ago, and the wet liquid dripped onto her cotton pants, leaving wet water marks and dragging a trail on the ground.
"Help me... I need to go to the hospital... It hurts so much, it really hurts... I can't stand the pain..."
Chen Fengying was angry and annoyed when she saw this scene. She shouted at Li Jinhua, "Mrs. Li, even if you don't like Wang Chunling, she is still your daughter-in-law. She is pregnant with your child. She is in this state. Why don't you go to the hospital? Do you want to let her live?"
"I don't like her? How did you see that I don't like her? Ever since she got pregnant, I have been taking care of her myself. Whenever there is something delicious at home, I always give it to her. Otherwise, how could the baby in her belly grow so well?"
Li Jinhua yelled back, unwilling to be outdone.
"Besides, she has never given birth to a child. Haven't you also had one? Giving birth is painful for women. It will pass if you just bear it. She can't bear the first one now. Will she be able to have a second or a third one in the future? This is our Zhou family's business. None of you outsiders can interfere! She must give birth to my grandson safely today! If you dare to interfere again and harm my grandson, I will risk my life to settle the score with you!"
