Chapter 51 The Little Midwife Shows Her Skills
Just as the young ticket seller was preparing to 'fight' alone, a clear voice suddenly came from the crowd.
"I...I can!"
The husky tilted its head, its eyes wide, staring incredulously at the little girl. "Little Butterfly, this is no joke!"
The logistics work of the post-apocalyptic squad involved doing everything, including delivering babies several times. But how could a frail village woman compare to a muscular and resilient female warrior?
"I...have read relevant medical texts."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Chao frowned even more deeply. "Yun Xia, this concerns lives, you should..."
Before she could finish speaking, Yunxia was dragged away by the arriving ticket seller.
...
The cotton cloth, resembling a small mound of earth, was soaked in blood. The pregnant woman's face was as pale as plaster on a wall, but... there was no sign of the baby. The stubborn old woman angrily punched the ticket seller.
Good intentions are never rewarded. The young ticket seller, who had just entered society, could no longer hold back and burst into tears.
"I...I quit! Let whoever wants to manage me do it!"
This could easily give others a handle to use against her. Yun Xia, who had been assisting, nudged her with her elbow. When Yun Xia looked over, she said with a serious expression, "Sister, let's switch. You assist, and I'll deliver the baby."
Before she could answer, he started hitting her. Seeing this, the stubborn old woman went on a rampage, repeatedly chanting words like "bride price," "divorce," and "boy."
Yunxia closed her eyes, stroked the pregnant woman's belly, feeling its contours, and finally opened her eyes, frowning as she said, "It's twins, and... the babies are breech."
Upon hearing this, the stubborn old woman's cursing stopped abruptly, and she exclaimed in shock, "You... you actually managed to find it! Quick... quick, save my grandson!"
Yunxia: So the stubborn old lady knows everything, but refuses to reveal a single detail. She's determined to blame the ticket seller if anything goes wrong during production. Ha!
"Grandma, if you don't make a fuss, the chances of the baby surviving will increase by 10%."
You know, when you're focused on doing something and there's a noisy person next to you, your mood is definitely not good.
The stubborn old woman glared, her chest heaving with anger, but for the sake of her eldest grandson, she finally shut her mouth from her incessant cursing.
"Sister, I'll turn the baby into the correct position, you take care of the delivery."
"Okay!" The ticket seller wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and answered with a sob.
Place your palm on the pregnant woman's belly, find the baby's head and feet, and gently rotate it while making a Tai Chi-like motion.
A moment later, the ticket seller exclaimed in surprise and delight, "The head... I can see the head!"
Hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. The pregnant woman, who was in so much pain that she was about to faint, mustered up a fierce strength and cooperated with the rhythm of the baby girl's soothing massage.
With a cry, the baby who had been clinging to its mother's belly finally decided to come out. Knowing there was another baby inside, the ticket seller quickly cleaned the baby and handed it to the stubborn old woman.
"Bah! What use is she, a good-for-nothing who eats grain? She's a waste of resources. Even if we raise her, she'll still belong to someone else. Quickly... quickly bring my eldest grandson out!"
"Your outdated thinking is truly something else," Yun Xia glared at the stubborn old woman and scolded, "Shut up! You're the only one on the bus who can talk so much, aren't you?"
The stubborn old woman glared back fiercely, muttered a few curses, but ultimately turned away for the sake of her eldest grandson.
Seeing her like this, Yun Xia smiled contemptuously, turned around, and continued to practice her 'Tai Chi'. The baby's position improved, but the ticket seller still couldn't see the baby and hurriedly asked.
Yunxia then realized that the pregnant woman who had just given birth was too weak to exert any strength, and thought to herself, "No wonder."
His mind raced, and finally, he took out a piece of chocolate from his bag, mixed it with green energy, and stuffed it into her mouth. He then covered her mouth and nose to prevent the green energy from escaping, silently counted to five, and, estimating that it had been absorbed, released his hand.
"Please, please save my child!"
Well, just hearing that energetic voice, I know there's potential.
"Auntie, only you can save him, give it your all!"
The pregnant woman blinked, mustered her strength again, and began to give birth in rhythm with the baby girl's cries.
"The head...the head is out!"
The second one went much more smoothly than the first. Before long, the baby was born wrapped in something red and orange. As the ticket seller cleaned the baby, she asked in surprise, "Huh, why isn't he crying?"
Upon hearing this, Yunxia thought to herself, "Oh no!" and hurriedly snatched the baby away, giving it a good slap on the bottom.
The stubborn old woman, having given birth herself, knew the importance of a baby's cry. She quickly pried open her eldest grandson's mouth and used the tip of her tongue...
Wow! It's as faint as a mosquito's buzz, but it's better than nothing.
Working together, the two finally saved the baby.
Snap!
An innocent baby girl was slapped by her own grandmother.
"Pah, you good-for-nothing! You stole all the nutrition from my precious grandson! Just you wait, see how I deal with you later!"
Suddenly, her attitude changed abruptly. She hugged her grandson and said gently, "Oh, don't cry, my dear grandson. Look at your thin little face. All the goat milk in the house is yours. You're not going to lose money!"
The stubborn old woman only had eyes for her beloved grandson, while the pregnant woman, though physically weak, was strong-willed. She didn't even receive a word of comfort like "You've worked hard." Every family has its own troubles. Yunxia sighed and helped the ticket seller clean up the mess.
...
"Thank you... thank you! I will remember your great kindness for the rest of my life, and I will repay you by being your ox or horse in my next life."
The little girl shook her head and handed her a bar of chocolates. "No need, just be nice to your little girl!"
The pregnant woman understood the meaning behind her words and weakly nodded. Just as she was about to eat some "bitter candy" to replenish her strength, the stubborn old woman snatched the chocolate away.
"You've already given birth, why would you need to supplement your diet? This is such a rare treat, why not save it for your son? What kind of mother is that?"
“Babies can’t eat chocolate. If they get sick from it, they’ll be the ones who suffer!” Yun Xia said quietly.
Upon hearing this, the stubborn old woman glared at the person, but in the end, she didn't dare to take the risk and didn't want to give it to her daughter-in-law, so she simply took a big bite herself.
Yunxia: You're ruthless! You're ruthless! You'll suffer to death, you old woman!
"Pah, what is this? It's so bitter!"
Out of the corner of her eye, Yunxia saw the stubborn old woman's face wrinkled and contorted with pain. She smiled slightly, feeling incredibly happy!
The baby was successfully delivered, the crisis was over, and the train resumed its normal speed as soon as it was ready to stop at the stations it was supposed to stop at.
At Renmin Street Middle Road Station, just as Yunxia and her group were about to get off the train, the stubborn old woman blocked the door.
“You’re not allowed to leave. Because you ‘turned the baby’s position,’ my grandson was born late. He’ll need a full check-up at a big hospital, and you’ll have to pay for all the nutrition and check-up fees.”
The bus arrived in the city center, and most of the passengers had disembarked. The stubborn old woman, knowing that no one had tried to dissuade her, seized the opportunity to extort money from them.
"Hey, you old hag, you're being completely unreasonable! If it weren't for Little Butterfly's miraculous healing, your precious grandson would still be stuck in your belly!"
"I don't care, little girl, you have to take responsibility for my grandson!"
Yunxia: ...Do I look like someone who's easy to bully?
"I'll take full responsibility!"
He narrowed his eyes and pinched her tiger's mouth hard, making her scream in pain.
