Chapter 082 You Have No Other Choice Right Now
Others don't know, but Gu Yuru is well aware of Old Lady Li's disorganized approach to things, and the midwifery experience she mentioned refers to her experience delivering babies for Zhao, the eldest wife's daughter.
It was because of this that Zhao was unable to have children.
Gu Yuru did not marry at that time, and I only found out about it later by chance.
"Delivery is not a trivial matter. Think about it again." Gu Yuru said sincerely, not wanting innocent people to suffer.
After hearing this, Mrs. Li immediately shouted, "What are you thinking? I think you just can't stand seeing our family doing well. Sister, don't listen to her. She's the woman my son divorced, and she always contradicts me."
The old woman looked at Gu Yuru, then at the dirty old lady Li in front of her. If the situation wasn't urgent, she wouldn't have resorted to such a desperate measure.
"Then can you?" The old woman looked at Gu Yuru, who was obviously generous and decent. She liked Gu Yuru better when she was clean and tidy.
But Gu Yuru shook her head and said, "I can't do it."
A hint of pride flashed across Old Lady Li's face. "Then what are you talking about, sister? This is a matter of life and death, so I have to do it. We must keep our word. If you promised to pay me, I want... I want one hundred taels."
The old woman frowned in displeasure because of her exorbitant asking price, but human life was at stake, so what was a hundred taels of silver to their master's family?
Seeing that Old Lady Li got into the carriage, the maid followed.
Although Li Mumu studied medicine, she had never delivered a baby, so she didn't dare to take on this job rashly.
"Can she do it?" Madam Gu asked worriedly, "Don't kill someone for money."
Gu Yuru shook her head. "I don't know either. Now I can only pray that what happened to the Zhao family was just an accident."
The people in the Li family were also worried, and naturally hoped that Old Mrs. Li would be able to survive. After all, if the delivery was successful, they would have money to spend.
Especially Li Ye, he thinks that giving birth to a child is just a simple matter, right?
With a little effort, it comes out like a fart.
He didn't think there was anything he couldn't handle. In fact, he had already started planning how to spend the one hundred taels of silver.
If he bought a pig, he would also have some roast pork, a thick cotton-padded jacket, and plenty of rice and flour...
However, just as he was lost in thought, he heard the anxious voice of Mrs. Li urging him from the carriage, "Madam, please hurry up! What is this? It doesn't look like a head."
After hearing this, Li Mumu's heart was filled with alarm.
The normal fetal position is that the head comes out first. According to what Mrs. Li said, if the head is not the first to come out, then either the buttocks or the feet will be very dangerous.
In fact, it's not just her. All women who have given birth know this.
The voice of the old woman in the carriage became even more panicked. "What should we do? My young lady must not be in any harm."
First comes the young lady, then the madam, the old woman makes a clear distinction.
"Oh, the children are the most important."
"Bullshit." The old woman cursed anxiously, "My young lady's life is the most important."
Old Mrs. Li pursed her lips. This old woman really didn't understand. Isn't a woman's job to give birth to children?
If it was a boy in her belly, she would just die, and there would be nothing wrong with letting the man of the family marry ten or eight more girls.
The old woman was anxious, "Can you do it?"
Old Madam Li knew that no one knew how to deliver a baby, so she put on airs. "I can't do it, but you can. But I tell you, if we save both babies, a hundred taels won't be enough. One hundred taels for each of the big one and the small one."
The old woman glared at Old Madam Li with hatred, but there was nothing else she could do. The baby was not due yet, and they were completely unprepared when they came out. Who could have thought that the baby would be born in just over seven months?
"You must save my young lady's life!" The old woman's tone weakened a bit, and even sounded pleading.
Li Mumu didn't dare to delay any longer. She raised her foot and was about to walk over. Old Lady Li's hands were dirty, and if she really used them sparingly, it would easily cause maternal infection.
What's more, screams from two people were heard in the carriage.
"Why is there so much blood, miss, miss, don't scare me! Can you do it or not?"
"I...I've already said that I can get the child out, but you...don't you have to protect the adult as well?"
"You..." The old woman was furious. The situation was urgent. She cried, "What should I do? Where did the driver go to find her? Why hasn't she come yet? Oh, God, please save my wife. I am willing to lose ten years of my life."
Li Mumu had already walked up to her, and Gu Yuru noticed her intention, "Mumu, you...you are going to...can you?"
Li Mumu nodded, "I saw a method in a book."
"Mumu, if it fails, you know that two lives will be lost." Gu Yuru didn't want to stop her daughter from doing good deeds, but she was afraid that if she failed, it would leave an indelible shadow in her daughter's heart forever.
"Mom, if I succeed, I can save two lives."
Gu Yuru was still a little worried. It was not that she was cruel, but she didn't know how capable her daughter was. At the moment, she wanted to save people, but she wanted to protect her daughter even more.
Madam Gu held her daughter's hand and said, "Under the current circumstances, it would be better to let Mumu give it a try. She is not an ordinary girl."
Gu Yuru looked at her mother and finally nodded.
Li Mumu got on the carriage. In addition to the old woman, the pale-faced woman in labor, and Old Madam Li, there was also a little maid.
The curtain of the carriage was lifted, and they all looked at Li Mumu.
Old Madam Li was the first to speak. "What are you doing here? Why are you joining in the fun? Get out of here! You can do this? Look at what you're capable of."
The old woman was filled with anger, but when she saw Li Mumu's cute face, she couldn't vent it. She just said in a cold voice, "Get out now."
Li Mumu was not angry. If she were in his place, she would not believe that a three-year-old child could save people.
"Chunhong, get them out quickly."
Li Mumu quickly felt the woman's pulse before the little girl came close to her. She frowned and said, "We can't delay any longer, otherwise both Auntie and the baby boy in her belly will be in danger."
"Wait!" The old woman looked at Li Mumu and grabbed Chunhong's hand as she was about to pick her up and throw her out of the carriage. "How do you know my young lady is pregnant with a boy?"
Mrs. Li thought Li Mumu was trying to steal her money. "Sister, this baby is either a boy or a girl. She's just confused."
However, the old woman was not new to the world. She didn't look at Old Lady Li and asked, "Child, do you know medicine?"
Li Mumu nodded, "I know how to heal injuries and detoxify, but I've never tried delivering a baby."
In the apocalypse, she wanted to deliver a baby, but where were the newborns?
Her expression was serious. "But you have no other choice right now. I can save both of them."
