The lights in Sun Guixiang's house were on all night, and Su Qingluan tossed and turned in bed all night. She only fell into a drowsy sleep in the second half of the night, and was awakened by a nightmare.
Sitting up in a sweat, Su Qingluan felt her heart beating wildly, but she could not remember what she was dreaming about.
The weather was nice today, but Su Qingluan clearly had no mood to appreciate it. Unable to sleep anyway, Su Qingluan simply pushed the door open and went outside to get some fresh air—actually, she also wanted to go across to see if there was any movement at the Li family.
Yang had also gotten up, and judging by the dark circles under her eyes, it was obvious that she had not slept very soundly.
She also noticed that Su Qingluan's face was sullen, a rare sight. It was obvious that she hadn't slept well the previous night. The mother and daughter looked at each other in silence, because they both knew why she was suffering from insomnia.
After the two little ones stood up, they also noticed that Yang and Su Qingluan looked unhappy. Su Xueyan couldn't help but asked worriedly: "Mother, sister, why do you look so dark?"
Su Xuanhe muttered quietly, "Could it be that I've been possessed by an evil spirit?"
Even though Su Qingluan had something on her mind, she was left in a state of confusion by her brother's nonsensical words: "What kind of evil spirit is this? Do you even know what 'evil spirit' means? My mother and I just didn't get enough rest."
Su Guangfu also lifted the curtain and emerged from the inner room. As Yang's bedmate, he naturally knew what had been bothering her the previous night. Seeing this, he could only sigh softly: "Good fortune will come to those who are lucky. The eldest sister of the Li family is a good person. God will be merciful."
Although I know this is just psychological comfort, in this situation, whether the delivery can go smoothly really depends on luck.
After breakfast, the mother and daughter went to Li’s house again.
Everyone in the Li family was still facing a great enemy, but the scenes that Su Qingluan had imagined, such as Sun Guixiang screaming at the top of her lungs or basins of blood being carried out, did not occur.
To be more precise, it will take some time for Sun Guixiang to actually have an attack.
When Su Qingluan heard what the midwife said, she knew that it was probably just the early stages of contractions and had not yet reached the stage of cervical dilation.
In fact, she knew this little bit of knowledge about childbirth thanks to her experience of being hospitalized in her previous life.
Although it is very regrettable, when a malignant tumor wants to destroy a person's health, it will not show any sympathy and will not leave any immunity for anyone - this applies to children and pregnant women as well.
In her previous life, Su Qingluan lived in a comprehensive cancer hospital. Especially while waiting in line for hospitalization and examination, Su Qingluan would meet patients from various departments suffering from various tumors.
They are of different ages and occupations, the only thing they have in common is that they suffer from tumors.
Some patients with benign tumors underwent surgery and returned home happily. However, there were also quite a few who were not so lucky, Su Qingluan being one of them, and many others, even pregnant, had to face the difficult decision of "saving their lives" or "giving birth".
At first, she would sigh and lament, but after seeing it so many times, Su Qingluan, like most of her fellow patients, became indifferent - after all, if she continued to fight with herself in such a situation, it would make her already uncomfortable life even more miserable.
Su Qingluan collected her thoughts and estimated that since she was already experiencing symptoms of pain, even if her cervix had not yet dilated, the actual due date would probably be within the next few days.
Sure enough, the next day when Su Qingluan was having breakfast with her family, she heard the frequent sounds of doors opening and closing in the opposite yard.
Yang put down her bowl and went to visit. After a while, she came back with a pale face and said, "Sister Guixiang is starting to have an attack. The midwife said it's a little difficult..."
These words were said to Su Guangfu, but Su Qingluan heard a "click": Sun Guixiang originally had a thin body shape. Su Qingluan once thought that people with this body shape might be prone to difficult labor, but she was afraid that the damn Morpheus's Law would come true again, so she forced herself not to think about it.
But it was obvious that "good things don't work, but bad things do". Su Qingluan prayed for Sun Guixiang thousands of times, which once again proved that prayers were of no use at all, as she still had a difficult delivery.
Su Qingluan thought for a moment, and suddenly said, "Dad and Mom, I'm going out for a while." As she said that, she didn't even bother to eat the rest of her breakfast, she put on her coat and rushed out.
"Hey, Daya, what are you doing?" Yang's voice came from behind. But Su Qingluan couldn't explain it for a moment - not to mention, she didn't know why she was looking for that person.
Thirteen days had passed since the snow began. Although most of the snow had been impossible to clear, a narrow path had been carved out along the main roads, and every household had cleared the road near their door, so most areas were relatively easy to walk on, and you wouldn't have to sink your foot into the snow.
Even so, the snow made the road slippery, and on the rarely traveled paths, the snow was as thick as knees, so Su Qingluan's journey was very difficult.
By the time Su Qingluan stood breathlessly at the door of Mu Xingzhi's house, about half an hour had passed - more than twice the time it usually took her to come here.
When she knocked on the door, Su Qingluan was actually a little nervous - she didn't know why, but when she thought of Sun Guixiang facing life and death at any time, the first person she thought of was not the well-known Huichuntang doctor, but Mu Xingzhi.
Perhaps it was because this man had cured his sister's high fever and convulsions that night before, or perhaps it was because his calm demeanor always made people feel at ease. Su Qingluan felt that as long as she could see Mu Xingzhi this time, Sun Guixiang would definitely be saved.
