Chapter 61 Qiu Yu Ruo and Su Yun Ting...
Qiu Yuruo and Su Yunting went to Ni Yafeng's family home and explained the situation. After that, not only her three brothers came to Su Family Village with Ni Yafeng, but also her father and her second uncle and his wife.
On the way there, Ni Yafeng's father, with tears in his eyes, repeatedly told his three sons not to cause trouble.
Back in Sujiazhuang, they went straight to the clan chief's house. Like the Ni family, Qiu Yuru was extremely worried. She and Aunt Ni ran into the clan chief's house together.
Hearing Ni Yafeng's pained groans, which were louder than before, Qiu Yuruo clutched her pounding heart and slowly exhaled.
In the delivery room, after Su Shuo called the doctor, his mother-in-law asked him to come in with the doctor. When he saw his wife, who was covered with a thin blanket and had a golden complexion, he felt a sharp pain in his heart and his vision went black. He knew even more clearly that if he continued to wait, his wife would not be far from death.
Su Shuo was just ten years old when he met Ni Yafeng. He had never seen a girl like her before. She was confident, bold, cheerful, and lively, as vibrant as a swallow flying in for the New Year.
From that moment on, she was in his heart.
Now, the once cheerful girl is frowning, her life beginning to slip away, and she is groaning unconsciously.
Su Shuo had already cursed his own cowardice and incompetence countless times in his heart.
He grabbed the doctor and pleaded, "Doctor, please, please save my wife. As long as she can live, the rest is up to fate."
Su Shuo's words made Ni Yafeng's mother burst into tears.
She could challenge the Su family to let her daughter see a doctor, but she couldn't say anything about saving the mother. Her daughter was her own, but the child in her womb belonged to the Su family, and she had no right to say anything about saving the mother.
Su Shuo's words gave the doctor a greater sense of confidence.
First, he took Ni Yafeng's pulse, took out silver needles, and inserted them into several acupoints on her head. Then he said to Su Shuo, "We also need to perform acupuncture on your wife's waist."
Su Shuo said directly, "Okay, you can go anywhere."
Ni Yafeng had needles inserted into her head, and as she slowly regained consciousness, she heard the conversation between the doctor and her husband.
She knew how old-fashioned her husband's grandfather was, but she didn't want to die. Even if the doctor saw her waistline and her grandfather forced her husband to divorce her, she would still pull through.
Ni Yafeng was wearing a loose top, and the quilt covered her up to her chest. Su Shuo personally pulled the quilt down to her stomach and then lifted her clothes to reveal her waist, which was actually a huge belly.
Before inserting the needle, the doctor asked Su Shuo one more time, "Are you sure you want to save the baby?"
Su Shuo firmly replied, "I'm sure!"
He was certain. Ni Yafeng, who was also conscious, understood the meaning of their conversation. She wanted to live, more than anyone else, but the child in her womb was the one she was most reluctant to leave behind.
Just as the doctor was about to insert the needle, Ni Yafeng said, "No, no, save the baby, you have to save the baby!"
Upon hearing his wife's words, Su Shuo could no longer hold back his tears. He grabbed his wife's hand and cried, "Ya Feng, you need to be alright. As long as you're alright, we can have more children in the future."
Ni Yafeng shook her head. She dared not think about the future, but she really couldn't bear to part with what was in front of her now.
The doctor was surprised that Ni Yafeng regained consciousness so quickly. At times like these, the mother's self-awareness is the most important thing.
Just as Su Shuo was about to continue persuading his wife, he heard the doctor say, "Since the lady has regained consciousness, there is still hope."
This sentence is like heavenly music.
When Qiu Yuruo brought the Ni family over, everyone in the delivery room had already been cooperating for a while.
Ni Yafeng's mother and sister-in-law held up a quilt to block the doctor's view. Two midwives, one pressing on her belly and the other delivering the baby, kept a close eye on Ni Yafeng's consciousness. When she was about to fall into a coma, they administered acupuncture to keep her conscious.
When the Ni family arrived, the clan head did not appear, but Ni Yafeng's father-in-law greeted his in-laws.
Aunt Ni was naturally going to the delivery room.
Ni Yafeng's mother-in-law thought that at this point, there was no point in talking about the future, especially since the doctor was invited by her own son. She also wanted to know what was going on in the delivery room, so she went in with her second aunt-in-law.
They all went into the delivery room to help, while Qiu Yuruo went to the kitchen to boil water.
Even if the sun sets late in summer, the sky will gradually darken as time goes by.
It wasn't until half past midnight that the sound of a newborn crying could be heard from the delivery room.
Qiu Yu paused in her act of adding water to the pot, threw the water ladle into the vat, and ran outside the kitchen.
The people who were sitting in the courtyard all stood up.
The first question was asked by Su Shuo's father, "Is it a boy or a girl?"
The midwife's voice came from the delivery room: "It's a boy! A big, healthy boy!"
Su Shuo's father repeatedly said, "Good, good, good boy, good boy!"
Qiu Yuruo was worried about Ni Yafeng, but before she could ask, Ni Yafeng's father asked, "How is Xiaofeng?"
Aunt Ni came out of the house and said, "The doctor is using acupuncture. If you stay here tonight, you'll be fine tomorrow."
This means that things are temporarily peaceful.
Before long, the child was ready, and Grandma Ni Yafeng came out of the house carrying her wrapped-up grandson.
Su Shuo's father wanted to see, but his wife avoided him, giving him a wink towards the main room. The couple then took the child and went to the father's room.
It was well past the time when the clan leader would go to sleep, but he didn't go to sleep either. Although he didn't go out, he sat in the outer room waiting.
The clan chief still smiled when he saw his daughter-in-law bring over her great-grandson.
Su Shuo's mother had her father-in-law see her great-grandson and confirmed that it was a boy before telling him about the doctor's examination.
After hearing this, Su Shuo's father said, "Dad, it's just a needle in the waist. Compared to life, it's nothing."
The clan chief glanced at his great-grandson again, but said nothing more, only saying, "You can arrange it as you see fit. I'm tired, so I'll go to sleep first."
The Su family was all focused on the child, while the Ni family was still worried about their daughter.
Qiu Yuruo was also worried, but there was nothing she could do to help.
I went home and slept soundly for a while. I got up early the next morning, got ready, and ran to the clan chief's house.
Upon entering the courtyard, Ni Yafeng's mother was washing her hands. She smiled as soon as she saw Qiu Yuruo.
Qiu Yuruo felt relieved when she saw her smile.
Ni Yafeng's mother whispered to Qiu Yuruo, "Xiaofeng woke up before dawn, ate something and drank her medicine, and is now asleep again."
The doctor said I'm almost completely fine.
Qiu Yuruo smiled after hearing this, but her eyes couldn't help but sting. She said to Ni Yafeng's mother, "I'm relieved to know she's alright. You've been up all night too, so please rest for a while. I won't go in. I'll come back when she's fully recovered."
Amidst Ni Yafeng's mother's repeated thanks, Qiu Yuruo emerged from the clan chief's house once again.
When they got home, Su Yunting got up, and Qiu Yuruo said to him, "You went to bed late yesterday, why didn't you sleep a little longer?"
Su Yunting: "I'll wake up when the time comes."
Qiu Yu looked at him and said, "There's still half an hour before you get up!"
People in this era get up early, around 5 a.m. in the summer. Su Yunting got up even earlier in his previous life, by 5 a.m., it was already past the appointed time.
Since his rebirth, he has cherished the time he can still get up late. He usually gets up around 7 AM, but now it's just past 5 AM, which is not his usual time to get up.
Su Yunting didn't answer, but pulled her back into the house and asked about Ni Yafeng's situation first.
If Qiu Yu had told the truth.
Su Yunting then asked his wife, "Were you furious yesterday because the clan chief wouldn't let Su Shuo call a doctor?"
Qiu Yuruo is still furious when she thinks about it: "Childbirth is inherently dangerous for women. Because of his outdated ideas, he should have been able to survive, but he lost his life because he couldn't get medical treatment!"
Su Yunting patted his wife on the back and said, "If Ni Yafeng can pull through, I will go to Magistrate Lu's office and ask the doctor for a plaque."
Magistrate Lu is about to be promoted. His new position, starting with making it easier for pregnant women to see doctors, won't conflict with the interests of any powerful families or influential clans. Doing so will definitely be a significant achievement.
Qiu Yuruo's eyes lit up immediately after hearing this. It's much easier to push things down from the top than from the bottom up.
For matters like this that do not affect privileged individuals, it is not difficult to implement government orders. As long as the public knows that the wives of high-ranking officials also consult doctors during childbirth, most people, except for a few pedantic individuals, should be able to accept it.
Seeing that his wife's mood had finally improved, Su Yunting said, "In the future, if you encounter something like this where people disregard life because of outdated ideas, don't get angry anymore. Come back and tell me, and we'll figure something out together."
His words gave Qiu Yuruo, who had felt powerless after hearing the clan leader's words yesterday, renewed strength.
She hugged Su Yunting and leaned against his chest, saying, "If it weren't for you, I probably would have been driven to my death by anger long ago!"
He covered her mouth: "Don't talk nonsense. We'll solve problems when they arise. Even in your time, you said that we hadn't achieved the Great Harmony yet! If we haven't, there are still injustices."
We cannot become pessimistic and negative just because we see injustices.
Every era has its good side. If you try to focus more on the positive aspects of this era, you'll be able to appreciate the beauty of life.
Qiu Yu blinked after hearing what he said.
Su Yunting released his hand.
Qiu Yuruo looked at him and smiled, saying, "This era certainly has many good things, but the best one is you. Because of you, this is the best place."
Su Yunting's heart was filled with emotion, and he hugged his wife tightly: "This era once left me with no attachment, but now, because of you, it has become a wonderful place."
After discussing serious matters and sharing their innermost feelings, Qiu Yuruo was back to full health.
...
At the clan chief's house, Su Shuo insisted on keeping the doctor for another day until he was sure Ni Yafeng was out of danger, then he prepared enough money for the consultation and sent the doctor back.
The news that Ni Yafeng had almost escaped death spread throughout the village, and then Su Yunting announced in a high-profile manner that he was going to the county magistrate to ask for a plaque for the doctor who treated Ni Yafeng.
Because of Su Yunting's announcement, those who had been gossiping behind Ni Yafeng's back that she was no longer impure dared to say anything more.
When Su Yunting went to the county, Qiu Yuruo changed her previous habit of only staying at the food stall on market days; now she spends almost the entire day there.
Whenever someone enters or leaves the village, Qiu Yuruo greets them.
She was already popular, and now she's even more popular.
Most people would stop and say a few words to her.
These past two days, the village news has naturally revolved around Ni Yafeng, and Qiu Yuruo is the key figure who got the doctor to see her, so this is the topic of conversation.
Qiu Yu Ruo said to them, "Even high-ranking officials and nobles, or even imperial relatives, can hire doctors when their wives give birth. How can we, ordinary people, be more particular than those nobles?"
Farmers, who would know these things? They were all quite surprised when they heard it.
Regardless of whether Qiu Yuruo accepts it or not, once Su Yunting brings back the plaque and the matter of hiring a doctor for the pregnant woman is settled, it will be considered that the matter has been officially certified by the government.
Just as Qiu Yuruo finished her promotion, another person arrived from the village.
Qiu Yuruo greeted Su Dani, who was limping over, "Sister Dani, are you going to town?"
Su Dani wasn't lame before; she's lame now because her ex-husband beat her.
She has countless scars on her body, but even without seeing a doctor or applying any medicine, they have slowly healed and are hidden by her clothes.
However, the broken leg left him with a limp without seeing a doctor.
Su Dani looked at Qiu Yuruo, mustered her courage again, and said, "I'm not going to town, I'm here to find you."
