Chapter 452 Mother and Child Are Safe
The room was filled with a strong smell of blood.
Old Mrs. Su, who had been staying by the bed, now had a pale face, a tightly furrowed brow, and panic in her eyes.
Liu Yuelan and He Daxiang were also at a loss. They had both given birth to children before, but this was the first time they had encountered a situation as difficult as Xiu'er's.
"The pregnant woman is having a difficult labor! I'm afraid it won't be easy!" The midwife was specially found by the bearded man from the border town. She is very experienced in delivering babies. "You must be prepared. If it is really dangerous, should we save the mother or the child?"
The mother-in-law, daughter-in-law and their two companions all turned pale, and they all looked at the woman lying on the bed.
After she became pregnant, Big Beard took Su Xiuer to live in the Su family so that she could get better care.
During this period, Su Xiuer ate well and slept well, and she became much rounder than before. Even so, her belly as big as a basket pressing on her seemed to make it difficult for her to breathe.
After several hours of difficult labor, Su Xiuer was already exhausted. Her sweaty hair was messy and stuck to her forehead and cheeks. She looked weak and disheveled. She was in a daze and only had subconsciousness left.
She closed her eyes tightly and uttered two words from her pale lips, "...Bao Xiao!"
"Bao Da!" Before Old Lady Su could say anything, a man's hoarse and tearing voice came from outside the window, "Bao Da!"
The woman on the bed heard this, her lips trembled violently, and tears welled up in her tightly closed eyes.
Old Lady Su gritted her teeth, her eyes red as she wiped away her daughter's tears. Then, looking at the midwife's determined gaze, the tears she had been holding back burst out as she spoke, "If the situation is truly dangerous... save the boss!"
In this situation, my daughter's life is the most important!
If anyone wants to bear the sins and resentments after making a choice, this old woman will bear it!
Liu Yuelan and He Daxiang's lips trembled, unable to utter a word.
If they were in Xiu'er's situation, they would also choose to keep the child because they are mothers.
But at the same time, the mother-in-law is also a mother, and the one lying in bed on the verge of death is her daughter.
When it is necessary to give up one side, then you can only give up...
"Ah--!" Another wave of severe pain came from her lower abdomen. Su Xiuer was in so much pain that she almost fainted. She had no strength to speak anymore. Her heart hurt more than her body as she gasped for breath. Despair surged from her heart.
Outside the room, the atmosphere in the yard was extremely depressing and solemn.
Until a few familiar shouts appeared, coming from far away and getting closer.
"They're back! Du Lao, Tian Bao and the others are back!" It was Wang Chuan's anxious voice.
And the children shouting, "Grandpa, Grandma! Auntie!"
As the shouting drifted into my ears, two figures arrived first and landed in the yard.
The old man with a bird's nest hair and the girl in a green jacket.
Seeing them, the bearded man's gray eyes suddenly lit up. He struggled to shake off the people who were restraining him and rushed towards the two people. There was only a dozen steps between them. He stumbled three times before he finally caught the old man and the girl's clothes. "Old man, Tianbao, save Xiu'er!"
Without saying a word, the old man took out a bottle of medicine from his pocket and stuffed it into Tianbao's hand, "This is Ma Fei San! You have the other herbs, go quickly!"
"Uncle, do you want a big one or a small one?" The girl asked this question as she walked into the house with her voice as calm and composed as ever.
The bearded man said without hesitation, "Big one! Children are the icing on the cake for me. I can live without flowers, but I absolutely cannot live without Xiu'er!"
The girl paused, turned around, her almond-shaped eyes bright and gentle, "Leave it to me."
The string in the bearded man's heart that was about to break suddenly relaxed, his legs went limp, and he fell to the ground.
After entering the room, several pairs of red eyes looked at Tianbao. There was no time to say anything else. She walked quickly to the bedside and first fed the semi-conscious woman a Huihuan Dan pill, then fed her Mafei San, and finally pressed a thin ginseng slice under the tip of her tongue.
After completing these preparations, she turned to look at the midwife beside her and said, "Please help me with the baby later."
The midwife was stunned for a moment, thinking she didn't know the situation, and hurriedly explained, "Miss, the pregnant woman's condition is very dangerous. She's been in labor for four hours, and not even her scalp has been exposed for such a long time. The fetus in her belly has been affected and may have suffocated in her womb. I have experience in delivering babies, and in this case, we can only save one by saving two—"
Tian Bao said calmly, "I want it big or small, just help me."
The midwife looked embarrassed.
Old Lady Su said sternly, "Listen to my granddaughter! If she says it's okay, it's okay!"
Liu Yuelan and He Daxiang had the same idea.
Since the master of the house requested so, the midwife took the money and did the job without saying anything more.
The midwife originally thought that she only needed to wait for the delivery, but she was stunned by what happened next and almost peed her pants.
The extremely beautiful and cold girl picked up a knife as thin as a blade and cut open the pregnant woman's belly right under her nose!
His expression was so calm and composed, as if he was butchering a pig!
The midwife wanted to turn away immediately!
…
The people waiting outside had no idea what was going on in the room.
All that could be heard was a few cold words from the girl from time to time in the room.
"Disinfect with wine."
"Crochet hook and catgut."
"Wipe the blood."
The women helping in front of the door came and went, pouring out basins of blood and passing in basins of boiled water.
The daylight finally fades and night falls.
And in the room, the sound of a baby crying was heard.
"It's born, it's born! Two big fat boys! Mother and children are safe!" The midwife's joyful voice came out through the window.
The yard was silent for a moment, and then cheers broke out.
The old man's expression, which had been tense for a long time, relaxed. His triangular eyes narrowed into slits. He raised his hand and patted the bearded man's shoulder, "Mother and child are safe! You old man, you're a father now, and you have a child in your old age. Even Bai Kui pales in comparison to you!"
Before he could finish his words, the old man's palm was empty.
He tilted his head and glared at the bearded man sitting on the ground, his mouth twitching, "Old man, I didn't use any force, it wasn't me who knocked you to the ground!"
The bearded man's eyes slowly moved upwards, meeting the old man's, and he asked tremblingly, "Are mother and child safe?"
"hold head high."
"Xiu'er is okay?"
"hold head high."
good.
The bearded man raised his eyelids and turned his head away.
Poison-proof, "..."
The men of the Su family, "..."
The villagers gathered in the yard didn't know who laughed first, but then the whole yard was filled with laughter.
When Big Bearded Man woke up, the courtyard was filled with joy. He was lying on a bamboo chair in the main hall, and no one knew who had brought him in.
It is not appropriate to disturb a woman after she has given birth. The villagers will leave one after another after helping her. The family members will sit around the brazier in the main hall and talk in low voices, looking very happy.
"Awake? And you fainted from being frightened. What a loser." Glancing at him awake, the old man scoffed at him without mercy, then added, "What are you still standing there for? Go see your wife and son!"
The bearded man rushed into the room.
The room had been cleaned and the blood had faded. His wife was lying on the bed, sleeping with her eyes closed. Her face was very pale, but her breathing was regular.
Two swaddling clothes with red embroidery were placed on the side of the bed, and there was a faint breathing sound coming from inside the swaddling clothes.
The bearded man took stiff steps, approaching the wooden bed step by step. He trembled and held his wife's hand that was exposed under the quilt. With this support, his eyes moved little by little and fell on the two swaddling clothes.
Two little faces, smaller than his palm, red and wrinkled, with small noses and small mouths... sleeping soundly.
The bearded man fixed his eyes on the two little faces, gently placed his chin on the back of his wife's hand, and grinned.
As she laughed, her face was filled with tears.
