Hearing Yang's concerned question, Li Sanlang did not directly tell the reason, but glanced at Su Qingluan who was standing next to him.
Before Su Qingluan realized what that embarrassed look meant, she heard Yang say to her, "Go into the house and see your Aunt Guixiang." Then she went outside with Li Sanlang.
Although she knew that this was a deliberate attempt to get her away, Su Qingluan also realized that the two people present probably felt that she was an "unmarried girl" and was not suitable to hear questions about childbirth.
Although Su Qingluan didn't think these questions were unbearable to her, she wouldn't show it on purpose. Firstly, she didn't have much medical knowledge, so even if she knew some things, she wouldn't be able to help. Secondly, if she showed any particular enthusiasm or indifference about childbirth, according to the views of this era, she would definitely be criticized.
Su Qingluan herself may not care about other people's gossip, but after all, she still lives here and has to deal with everyone. It is impossible for her to completely ignore the secondary effects caused by this "gossip".
On the small hand, this may cause reputation or future marriage troubles for her family, especially her mother Yang and her sister who is also a girl; on the big hand, if she, as the shopkeeper, has a bad reputation, it is hard to say whether it will affect her business.
As someone who has died once, Su Qingluan naturally would not be held back by such false reputation. But on the other hand, she would not be stupid enough to deliberately make her reputation worse, because there was really no benefit in doing so and it would only cause a series of troubles.
Su Qingluan understood very well that since she was in a completely different era, she had to abide by the "special rules" of this era - unless she had the ability to break the rules, she would not openly express her intention to challenge the rules.
"Aunt Guixiang, I'm here to see you!" Su Qingluan said softly while standing outside the door.
Sun Guixiang was obviously happy that someone came to see her, but her body was too heavy and her feet were severely swollen. It was difficult for her to even stand up, let alone get down to greet them.
Su Qingluan saw that she wanted to get up, and hurried forward to support her: "You are not feeling well right now, so don't overwork yourself. We are neighbors, so you don't have to entertain me!"
As he spoke, he pulled a soft pillow from the side and stuffed it into the small of Sun Guixiang's back so that she could lean on it and sit a little more comfortably.
"Hey, actually I really want to go for a walk," Sun Guixiang sighed after a brief greeting, "but I'm so heavy and my feet are swollen. Let alone taking a walk around the house, even going out is difficult."
Su Qingluan also knew that for pregnant women, especially those about to give birth, walking more would actually help with childbirth. However, for pregnant women with severe leg swelling, Su Qingluan was afraid that if she rashly suggested this, it might cause the pregnant woman to fall accidentally. So she didn't dare to take the risk. She just looked at Sun Guixiang's face, which had become several times rounder, and smiled:
"Aunt Guixiang, let me give you a little massage. Although it has no fundamental therapeutic effect, it can at least relieve the swelling of your feet." In her previous life, Su Qingluan suffered from severe swelling in her lower limbs due to long-term bed rest. Fellow patients had exchanged various massage techniques with each other.
After several years of illness, Su Qingluan has some experience in massage techniques, apart from anything else. Although she cannot be said to be very professional, her massage is indeed effective.
So when Yang said goodbye to Li Sanlang and entered the house, she saw Sun Guixiang, who looked a little listless due to her swollen feet, and Su Qingluan talking in low voices with smiles on their faces.
Because Su Qingluan only massaged her calves and ankles, and didn't get close to Sun Guixiang's pregnant belly, Yang was a little surprised. She didn't say anything else, but looked at Sun Guixiang teasingly: "Sister Guixiang, you dare to let my eldest daughter and a little girl massage you? How can she understand these things?"
Su Qingluan understood that this was her mother giving Sun Guixiang a "vaccination" in advance, and she was not really finding fault with her. If she had to say it, she was actually protecting her secretly.
Yang's words were very clear: My daughter is not a doctor, she is just pressing me for fun. If you feel uncomfortable, you must stop her and don't let her do whatever she wants, otherwise I will not be able to take responsibility if something unexpected happens.
It's not that Yang is petty. In fact, childbirth is a big deal for every woman and cannot be taken lightly.
Sun Guixiang smiled and shook her head: "Sister-in-law, don't say that. Although it was just a casual massage, I feel that my legs are much lighter."
"Just go along with what this girl says!" Yang smiled and looked around. "Why is there no one else with you besides your man?"
"Originally, my aunt wanted to come and see me," Sun Guixiang said with a wry smile. "With this heavy snow, it might be difficult for even people from the same village to come here. But when my head of the family goes to invite the midwife, she'll also go to my aunt's house, and she'll stay with me."
Just as Sun Guixiang said, when Li Sanlang went to find the midwife, Sun Guixiang's aunt and mother-in-law also came.
Although Yang and Su Qingluan were worried, they were outsiders after all. Moreover, Su Qingluan was still an unmarried girl, so it was not appropriate for her to stay.
The most important thing is that women with experience in childbirth are often more qualified to be midwives' assistants. Su Qingluan, who has no medical background and no personal experience, knows that staying will only cause trouble - not to mention that Yang will not allow it.
Yang exchanged a few words with Sun Guixiang's in-laws, then took Su Qingluan home.
