Chapter 179 Chapter 179
The snow was so heavy that it took us an hour to get to the town's health center.
In the middle of the night, the miserable cries of a woman in labor could still be heard in the corridor of the clinic. It had been more than five hours since Wu Yueying was sent to the clinic after her water broke, but there was still no sign of the baby being born.
The midwife in the clinic was also anxious, saying that if the person was not sent to the county, both the adult and the child would die, and the clinic would not be responsible if someone died.
Xia Hangyi was standing in the corridor, leaning against the wall blankly, and no one knew what he was thinking.
When Ye Qing arrived, his eyes flickered and he quickly came forward: "Ye Zhiqing——"
Ye Qing didn't even bother to greet the man. She had come here in the snow. She was almost frozen after walking all the way. She had to quickly go to the stove to warm herself up, and then go into the delivery room to check on the situation, so as not to bring the cold air in and freeze the woman in labor.
After slowing down a bit, Ye Qing took off his military coat, put on a white coat and went in.
When he entered and saw Wu Yueying's appearance, Ye Qing's eyes flashed with anger, and he even wanted to curse her as an idiot.
It has been more than two months since I last saw Wu Yueying.
Unexpectedly, this idiot is even fatter than the last time, with several layers of fat on his body, and his belly is so big that it seems like it is going to burst, which makes Ye Qing so scared.
With such a bloated body, not to mention whether her movements would be slow, it is even a big question whether she can exert her strength when the birth starts.
Ye Qing really didn't expect that Wu Yueying would seek her own death like this. A reborn person, her brain is so useless that she has tortured herself to this point. Is she sure she knows what she is doing?
Ye Qing no longer had the energy to complain, but the most important thing at the moment was not to curse anyone, but to see how to deal with the current situation.
She quickly took action to investigate the situation.
But this exploration made Ye Qing's heart sink instantly.
This child...
Before Ye Qing could say anything, Wu Yueying suddenly grabbed Ye Qing's arm.
After screaming for several hours, Wu Yueying was now hoarse. Seeing Ye Qing coming in, she immediately became excited, grabbed Ye Qing's hand, and eagerly and hoarsely asked Ye Qing:
"Ye Qing, please help me, I must give birth to the baby!"
"I'm having a boy. Xia Hangyi's father said that as long as the child is born safely, he will arrange for our family to return to the city after the New Year. Then I can take the child to the capital to enjoy life!"
Ye Qing was simply speechless.
This woman has lived her entire life in vain.
How come she was born again in the early 1990s? Didn't she know about the policy changes in the future? Even if she wanted to move to the city, she couldn't do it after the reform and opening up? Standing at the forefront of the times, even if she only runs a small business, she can take off and live a stable and happy life. Isn't that better than relying on a man or a husband's family?
But what did this woman do? She actually wanted to use her belly to gain wealth and status by having a son, so as to achieve her goal of living in the city. What kind of brain-dead idea is this?
Ye Qing really couldn't empathize, because she always believed that relying on others is not as good as having it herself, and mastering a skill to make a living is her real reliance. She would never entrust her life and property to outsiders at any time.
Moreover, as for Wu Yueying now, not only is the gender of the baby in her belly unknown, nor is it known whether she can give birth to the baby safely, even her own life is a question.
But at this time, Ye Qing couldn't tell the other party the truth. She had to save the adults first before doing anything else.
Taking out the silver needle, Ye Qing started without any hesitation.
After the injection, Wu Yueying immediately calmed down, and her originally pale face looked much better. The midwife next to her knew Ye Qing's background, and she breathed a sigh of relief when she saw her taking over.
However, after the injection, Ye Qing did not take the next step. Instead, he walked out of the delivery room and waved to Aunt Wu and Xia Hangyi who were anxiously waiting in the corridor.
Seeing this, the two of them hurried forward.
Ye Qing could hide it from the patient, but he had to inform the patient's family of their right to know.
"The baby is huge, weighing about 8 or 9 kilograms. The mother is not going into labor prematurely, but the baby is too big and has broken the amniotic fluid. Such a big baby has been in the belly for so long, and now its heartbeat is very weak. I guess the situation is not good. Even if it is born, it may be..."
"In addition, the mother has been very emotional these past few hours and has suffered heavy bleeding. It is very likely that her uterus has ruptured. Her physical condition is not optimistic. I have to give you a vaccination in advance. I must do my best to save the adult's life. It is very likely that surgery will be required, or even a hysterectomy. Otherwise, the lives of the adult and the child will be in danger, so you family members must be mentally prepared!"
When these words came out, both family members were stunned.
Aunt Wu suddenly became anxious. She didn't understand any professional terms, but she understood the meaning of Ye Qing's words just now. But because she understood it, she panicked.
The child could not be saved, and her daughter's life must be saved. However, according to the doctor, if the adult wants to save her life, she must undergo surgery. After the surgery, her daughter will not be able to have children in the future. How will Yueying live the rest of her life?
This is a dilemma, and Aunt Wu doesn't know how to make a decision.
At the critical moment, Xia Hangyi, who had little presence on the side, stood up and said to Ye Qing in a decisive tone:
"Then have the surgery. The child is gone, but nothing can happen to the adult! As long as we have the green mountains, we will never worry about lack of firewood. At worst, we can't have children in the future. If it's really not possible, we can adopt one from an orphanage, or adopt one from my brothers!"
These loud words surprised Ye Qing.
She had always felt that there was an indescribable sense of discord with Xia Hangyi, and naturally she had no good feelings towards him. But at this moment, what he said was quite manly.
Aunt Wu was not a person with her own opinions. She used to listen to her husband and son in Kaoshantun, but after her divorce, she had to listen to her daughter and son-in-law. Now that her children were in trouble, she was at a loss and could do nothing but cry. So when her son-in-law said she wanted to have surgery, she could only let him decide.
Ye Qing didn't say anything more. The health center didn't have a ready-made template of informed consent for surgery, so Ye Qing could only ask Gu Weidong beside her to help her write a handwritten informed consent statement for surgery, writing down all the issues that could be avoided, and then asked Xia Hangyi to sign it.
She came from the future and knew too well how powerful the doctor-patient relationship was, so she would definitely not give anyone an advantage. Especially since this matter involved Wu Yueying, she would never take risks for such a person. She was afraid that after she worked so hard to save the person, this person would turn around and bite her back.
Therefore, Ye Qing had to prepare an agreement in advance, confirming that the patient's family was aware of and agreed to the operation, and that any consequences would be borne by the patient's family themselves, otherwise there would be no discussion.
After signing the agreement, the clinic also prepared all the surgical instruments that Ye Qing needed, and she went into the delivery room to prepare for the operation.
The situation was exactly as Ye Qing had judged. The child had been in the belly for too long and was too large. By the time the baby was taken out by cesarean section, its face had turned purple. Ye Qing wasted a lot of effort and even some of his supernatural powers, but was unable to save the child.
It is a chubby baby girl with fair skin and excellent bone structure. If she can be born smoothly and grow up healthily, she will definitely be a beauty that will captivate the whole country.
What a pity.
Ye Qing felt very sorry and couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
Wu Yueying's uterus was so badly damaged that it could not be mended, so the only option left was amputation.
Ye Qing's hands moved swiftly. Although the conditions in the clinic were crude, she had flying needles and supernatural powers, so everything was done in an orderly manner. The woman showed no abnormalities during the whole process, and her vital signs were relatively stable. The operation took less than an hour to complete, and even Ye Qing sutured the incisions very carefully and beautifully. If she takes good care of herself, there might not even be any obvious scars left.
After Wu Yueying was sent out of the delivery room, Ye Qing reminded her of various precautions after the operation and he was no longer responsible for anything else. As for how to deal with the dead baby and who would take care of the patient, Xia Hangyi and Aunt Wu had to negotiate these matters themselves.
At this time, the two men's entire attention fell on Wu Yueying. No one came to thank Ye Qing, and no one even knew when Ye Qing and Gu Weidong left.
After working for several hours, Ye Qing was cold, tired and sleepy. She no longer cared about the courtesy of the patient's family. Anyway, she had done what she should do and returned the kindness that Auntie Wu had shown her. In the future, if this Auntie came to her for help with anything, she would definitely be fair and impartial, and would never help without reward!
Thinking of this, Ye Qing followed Gu Weidong and walked back in the snow.
As they walked, they chatted. Thinking of Wu Yueying's child who died in her womb, Ye Qing felt a little uncomfortable and couldn't help but curse:
"This Wu Yueying is really asking for trouble. I clearly reminded her to control her weight, but she didn't listen at all. She doesn't know what's so good about eating so much meat. I told her the risks with good intentions, but she still thought I was jealous of her out of bad intentions. The same goes for Xia Hangyi. It's normal that Aunt Wu is uneducated and doesn't understand the risks of childbirth. But he is a high-level intellectual and a technician at the research institute. Doesn't he even understand this common sense? Letting a woman gain weight so uncontrollably, can't he see that his wife is abnormally fat?"
Because he and Wu Yueying were once an engaged couple, after escorting Ye Qing to the clinic, Gu Weidong did not speak a word, nor did he have any communication with Xia Hangyi. He treated himself as a background board throughout the whole process to avoid embarrassment and unnecessary misunderstandings.
But when he heard Ye Qing's words, he suddenly spoke with a meaningful tone:
"How do you know he can't see it?"
