Chapter 263 Difficult Birth
Therefore, Chen Mei had more free time and could sit there and watch Chu Hong talk to her parents-in-law.
She didn't dare to think that Chu Hong came here to speak for her.
Of course, she suspected Chu Hong of the greatest malice in her heart, that is, she was making fun of her and wanted to sow discord between her and the Su family.
It's a pity that she is more afraid of death now.
When she first became pregnant, Su Hongqi treated her very well and kept saying that she would give him a son.
But later, her belly became bigger and bigger, and the aunts and ladies in the village all said that she was pregnant with a daughter, so Su Hongqi became a little impatient with her.
A few days ago, she also wanted him to take her to the hospital, but he thought she was too delicate and said that everyone in the village gave birth at home and no one had ever had any accidents.
But Chen Mei knew that he was lying to her. She heard from other people that Hu Zi's mother, who was only three years old, died of heavy hemorrhage when giving birth to him.
There was also the mother of six-year-old Xiaohua, who also lost two lives during childbirth two years ago.
She is still young and definitely wants to live.
Especially now that my belly is getting bigger, I sometimes have nightmares about myself having a difficult labor and dying from the pain.
To be honest, Chen Mei regretted having fallen for Su Hongqi.
Even though she had enough to eat and an easy job in the Su family, she was always looked down upon by her mother-in-law and sister-in-law, and her husband was not considerate enough. She must have felt aggrieved.
Even though Chu Hong had bad intentions, she was willing to take the bait: "I also feel very uncomfortable these days, and often feel short of breath. I want to go to the hospital."
Secretary Su didn't expect that the old lady was so stupid that she would actually agree with Chu Hong's opinion.
This almost made his face darken, but considering that Chu Hong was still there, he couldn't get angry yet, so he could only take a deep breath and said, "Okay, when the weather clears up, I'll let the boss drive the ox cart to take you to the hospital."
Chu Hong was just putting forward her own suggestions. As for what happened next, she was not prepared to keep an eye on it.
However, it happened that the little cousin, who was not even one year old, was still having recurring fevers. Even though Aunt Song felt sorry for the money, she did not dare to go back just like that.
She urged her husband to go back to work and stayed in the hospital to take care of her daughter.
Uncle Song looked at his daughter who cried as soon as she woke up, and he was also worried: "Can you handle it by yourself? I'll ask my son to come over later."
"You and your son are both at home earning work points." Aunt Song glanced at the gloomy sky outside and said, "You don't have to come over even if it rains. I can take good care of the children."
You have to pay for three meals a day outside, and having more people means extra expenses, which she definitely doesn't want.
She also reminded her husband: "If Big Brother and Chu Hong come to the city in the next two days, ask them to bring me some corn cakes or steamed buns."
She knew that Secretary Song was helping her son make plans, so she didn't dare to go too far at this critical moment.
Otherwise, she would definitely take advantage of the opportunity and ask her sister-in-law or nieces to help take care of her.
Then her son’s future must be more important now, and she didn’t dare to speak up for fear of offending Chu Hong and the others.
Song Laoer waited until the rain stopped and then drove the ox cart back.
The cows still have to plow the fields, and if it weren't raining, he would have to hurry back early in the morning.
After Song Laoer returned home, he returned the ox cart and went to say hello to Chu Tong.
The ox cart is collective property. Chu Tong will make a note of it after borrowing it, and when settling accounts after the autumn harvest, the corresponding work points will also be deducted.
So when Chu Hong returned home, she saw her second uncle and heard that her little cousin was still in the hospital, so she said, "Uncle, I have to go to the city for a meeting tomorrow. I will visit my aunt and sister then. If you have anything to bring, bring it over tomorrow morning."
Uncle Song would not be polite to her: "Okay, I'll ask your grandma to make some corn cakes and bring them to your aunt."
In fact, corn tortillas don’t taste very good. If they are not stored properly, they will taste bitter.
But now is a time of lean season, there is not much to eat, and corn tortillas can be eaten as snacks.
Therefore, on the morning of March 23, Chu Hong first went to the Women's Federation to report the situation to the leaders, and then listened to the meeting between the leaders and them. By the time she arrived at the hospital, it was almost ten o'clock.
Chu Hong found the ward first and saw that the child was still sleeping and still receiving an IV drip. Second Aunt was also dozing off beside him.
Today's hospital beds are narrow and have no guardrails, so even though Second Aunt was snoring, she still protected the child with one hand, fearing that the child would roll off the bed.
Chu Hong saw that the drip in the drip bottle was almost gone, so she went to find a nurse to remove the needle and collect the drip. She whispered, "Nurse, has the child's fever subsided?"
The nurse also took out a notebook from her pocket and opened it to take a look before replying, "It has subsided a little. The temperature measured this morning was 37.3 degrees. When the child's temperature stops rising in the afternoon, you can go home."
There were more than twenty people in the ward with a dozen beds. The sounds of children crying and adults talking could be heard one after another, so Aunt Song did not sleep soundly.
When Chu Hong asked the nurse, she also opened her eyes. After hearing what the nurse said, she also sighed: "Chu Hong, you are here. This child is really worrying. He made a fuss for a long time last night. I am exhausted."
"I was urging you to have a baby before, but now I don't want to urge you anymore. It's really too hard."
After that, he stood up again and said, "You watch over me, I'm going to the toilet."
She was gone for more than ten minutes and the child woke up. She didn't know whether he was hungry or uncomfortable, but he started crying again.
Chu Hong suspected that her second aunt saw her there and went to watch the fun again.
Otherwise, it is impossible that he hasn't come back for so long?
Seeing her little cousin crying pitifully, she could only carefully pick up the child and go find her biological mother who loved to join in the fun.
Although the child was not even one year old, the two families were close and Chu Hong often held the child.
Chu Hong actually doesn't like holding children.
After all, there are no diapers now, only diapers made of rags, which are easy to get injured by accident.
But everyone in the family thought that she and Gu Ci would have a child soon and they would have to know how to take care of the child, so they let Chu Hong hold the child whenever they got the chance.
Therefore, the child may be familiar with her, and he stopped crying after she picked him up.
This is the first-floor ward. The toilet is on the side, not far away.
As soon as Chu Hong left the ward, she saw her second aunt and several other women talking together.
Not only was she beaming with joy, she also added exaggerated body movements. Chu Hong couldn't help but roll her eyes and called out to her, "Aunt, is my sister hungry? Why is she crying all the time?"
"Oh, I'm here." Second Aunt Song also hurried back, and did not forget to turn around and shout to them: "I'm in this ward. Remember to tell me if there is any news?"
Most people nowadays are very welcoming. They will strike up a conversation with anyone who looks familiar to them. Even if they are strangers, they can quickly get together to gossip.
It’s because there is too little entertainment nowadays, so we can only rely on gossip to have fun.
She returned to Chu Hong, took her daughter, and whispered to her excitedly, "Do you know who I saw?"
