The middle-aged female doctor who first tried to persuade them was initially shocked, clearly not expecting the woman's husband and mother-in-law to be so unreasonable. Then, her brows furrowed, and she looked at the woman and child with concern.
Her body trembled slightly, as if she was irritated by the tense atmosphere and the rude behavior of the woman's husband, but she tried her best to control her emotions. "We understand your financial pressure, and the hospital will do its best to help. Don't make any impulsive decisions. The baby is crying so hard, why don't you hold him and see what's wrong?"
The woman's husband said, "Cry, cry, cry! You're a mother, but you can't even give birth. You need a caesarian section. Can't you just give birth to your own child? What's the point of me marrying you?"
The woman in labor groaned, "I'm in pain and don't have the strength to hold the baby. Mom, please hold him quickly."
The mother-in-law of the woman in labor also seemed to feel sorry for the child and wanted to reach out and hold him.
The woman's husband said angrily, "You're not allowed to hold the baby. Hold her after you're discharged. If the baby cries and gets hurt, the hospital will be responsible. They're the ones holding us back." The woman's husband actually picked up the IV pole and said, "Get out of the way! I need to get my wife out of the hospital."
The woman's mother-in-law immediately withdrew her hand.
Su Tiantian took Liu Jingze's arm and was a little panicked. This man was unreasonable and very barbaric.
Liu Jingze said softly: "Are you scared? How about we go back to the ward now?" Su Tiantian shook her head: "I want to keep watching."
A pregnant woman, wearing a loose maternity dress and a cotton coat, held her bulging belly in her hands, her face filled with fear and sympathy. She whispered to her husband, "This is too pitiful. She was discharged from the hospital the day after the cesarean section, and they still let the baby cry. How cruel!"
Her husband nodded and agreed, "A Caesarian section requires a few days of hospital stay before discharge. The child is a boy, and you dare treat him like that?"
A young pregnant woman, her belly bulging, looked back and forth between the mother and her husband, a trace of worry on her face. Perhaps she was thinking of her own impending birth and empathizing with the mother's situation. With tears in her eyes, she held her husband's hand and said, "Honey, please don't do this to me again. I'm scared."
Her husband quickly comforted her: "Don't worry, it won't happen. The money for the birth of the child has long been prepared. Not only the cost of the caesarean section, but also the money for the confinement nanny is ready."
A family member, dressed simply, frowned, shook her head, and sighed, "How could this man do this? The wound must be very painful the day after the cesarean section. This woman cried so much during the confinement period. Her health will be in trouble in the future."
A middle-aged woman, wearing a long black trench coat, a white crew-neck sweater underneath, black straight-leg pants, and a pair of black high heels, had her hair tied up in a bun, looking very capable. She shook her head and sighed, "What a sin! How pitiful! Obstetrics and gynecology is truly a place that tests one's humanity."
A middle-aged farmer stood in the corner, his eyes cold and indifferent. His mouth curled up slightly, as if mocking the farce. He occasionally glanced at the mother and child, but quickly looked away.
A man stood by the wall, his arms folded across his chest, his brow furrowed. With a hint of disdain and dissatisfaction in his eyes, he watched the farce of the woman's husband, his mouth slightly turned down. He probably felt that the husband's behavior was irresponsible.
A pregnant woman's eyes were filled with curiosity, pity, and a hint of fear as she gently stroked her belly, as if comforting the fetus. There was a look of worry on her face as she whispered something to her mother-in-law (or mother) beside her.
A very plump pregnant woman was wearing a bright red maternity dress with some golden silk embroidered patterns on it, which looked very festive. She was wearing a pair of soft red slippers on her feet, which matched her dress. She stood at the door of another ward with a serious expression and a stern look in her eyes. She looked at the husband of the mother as if he were an unreasonable person.
A fashionable pregnant woman, with her hands on her hips, angrily accused her husband: "You are so heartless. How dare you treat your wife who gave birth to your child like this? You are so incompetent that you don't even have the money to give birth to a child!"
The husband of the woman in labor stared at the pregnant woman angrily, and the pregnant woman stared back at him rudely, because she was not afraid of him.
Su Tiantian leaned in Liu Jingze's arms and said, "Brother Jing, why don't we help her? That woman is so pitiful. Let's consider the several thousand yuan for her medical expenses as a charity."
Liu Jingze replied quietly, "It's no problem to pay a few thousand yuan, but the hospital should have someone to handle this matter. Let's wait and see."
Li Yunling said, "Yes, let's wait and see. But this woman is so miserable. She met a man like this. Even if we pay her medical bills today, she doesn't know how she will live in the future."
At this time, a man who was closer to the bed stood up and said, "I can help you with the medical expenses first. Let the mother recover before being discharged from the hospital."
However, the woman's husband showed no appreciation. He slammed the IV pole to the ground and shouted, "Besides the medical bills, there will be so many other expenses in the future! She can't have a natural birth, it costs so much money, and she doesn't have breast milk, and she has to spend money on formula. It's useless! Can you help me raise the child?"
The older brother was really angry: "You are such a grown-up, with hands and feet, and you can't even raise a child?"
The woman must have suffered a lot when she had to have a caesarean section instead of a natural birth. When she heard her husband say this to her, her face was full of despair. She struggled to sit up and hold the baby, but she couldn't. A female nurse wanted to come forward to help, but was pushed away by her husband.
The female nurse took two steps back and was helped by her colleagues to stand steady. She said, "You can't do this to a woman in labor. She is very weak."
The husband of the woman in labor lifted the IV pole and tried to hit someone.
A male doctor hurried over. He was wearing a neat white coat and a stethoscope, and looked anxious and serious.
He bravely stood in front of the woman's husband, reaching out his hands to comfort him. "Sir, calm down. This won't solve the problem. Discharging her now is extremely detrimental to her health. She needs professional care! As a doctor, I can't bear to see her life in danger because of an early discharge. If you're concerned about the cost, we can discuss a solution together."
The male doctor frowned and beads of sweat oozed out of his forehead. It was obvious that he ran too fast, so he was sweating in early winter. He wanted to get closer to the woman in labor, but was stopped by her husband with a swing of the club.
The woman's husband yelled, "Since you won't let me take her away, I'll keep her in the hospital. I don't need to pay for the baby, since I didn't have to spend any money to marry her. But you have to return the deposit to me. If it's a normal birth, it will only cost a few hundred yuan, so why spend so much?"
