Chapter 2846 Difficult Birth
This cry called out to everyone hiding in the house. An old woman quickly rushed out of the yard. After a glance, she sat down on the ground, slapping her thigh and shouting, "What a sin! What a sin! My grandson, you of the Guo family, you have to compensate me for my grandson!"
The man next door looked pale and took a step back. Seeing that all the neighbors had come out to watch the excitement, he immediately said, "She pushed me and then she lost her balance and fell. It's not my fault."
Seeing that the pregnant mother-in-law was just sitting on the ground slapping her thighs, and the pregnant woman lying on the ground was getting paler and paler, with a pool of blood on the ground, Manbao couldn't help but go forward with a sullen face, went straight in, felt her belly and pulse, and then said to the people who were still making noises: "She's about to give birth, carry her into the house first."
The neighbors who were watching finally came to their senses and rushed in to persuade the mother-in-law and the neighbors who were still arguing, "Guo family, carry the person into the house first. If anything happens to the rich family, even if it wasn't you who pushed them, it was because of the quarrel and fight with you. How can your family escape responsibility?"
The neighbor who said this was an old woman with a capable face and obviously some prestige. After she finished speaking, she turned to the pregnant woman's mother-in-law across the street and said, "Mother Dafu, look at your wife's face. Are you still going to sit on the ground and make a fuss? If anything happens to her, will your family have enough money to marry Dafu off?"
When Dafu's mother heard this, she slapped her thigh and got up. She followed everyone else and carried Dafu's family into the house.
The old woman said, "We have to call a midwife."
Dafu Niang wiped her tears and said, "Our family is so poor that we only have water left. Where can we find money to hire a midwife?"
The old woman couldn't help but said angrily: "So you're just going to watch your daughter-in-law bleed to death?"
Dafu Niang grabbed Guo Jia, who was moving backwards, and said angrily, "You pushed my daughter-in-law. I saw it all."
“No, no…”
Manbao frowned, his hand still on the pregnant woman's pulse, and turned his head and said, "I know how to deliver the baby. Go to the kitchen to boil some water and prepare some clean linen..."
Dafu Niang quickly interjected, "My family is poor, where can I get clean linen?"
Manbao ignored her and pulled out a pack of needles from his sleeve pocket. While unbuttoning the pregnant woman's clothes, he said to Xibing, "She's having a difficult labor and needs medicine to induce labor. Tell Daji to go find the doctor at Baicaotang and tell him that he needs a soup recipe to invigorate Qi and blood and stop the bleeding. If there are ready-made pills, that would be best. Have him bring his medicine box here immediately. I'll prepare the medicine when he gets here."
Xibing turned around and went out to look for Daji.
Dafu Niang was anxious. "Who are you, my family doesn't know you, and we don't have money to buy herbs."
Manbao undressed the pregnant woman and injected three needles to temporarily slow the bleeding. Then he turned to look at Dafu Niang and said, "Your daughter-in-law is dying."
After saying this, he moved sideways to let her look at the blood on the bed. In just a few words, the thin quilt on the bed was already stained. At this moment, all those who were still talking stopped talking and stared at the blood on the bed in a daze.
Only then did they realize that Dafujia had not spoken for a long time. When they looked at her again, they saw that her face was pale and she was lying on the bed, looking at them with fear.
Dafu's mother then realized that the situation was beyond her control. She was terrified and couldn't help but slap her thigh and burst into tears, "Oh my God, this is killing me! How can I explain this to Dafu?"
Zhou Man couldn't help but stop her and said sternly: "Why are you crying now? Go and boil some water."
Dafu Niang finally came to her senses and quickly turned around and went out to boil water.
Manbao looked around, pointed at the old woman and two other women, and asked them to stay and help. Then he said with a sullen face, "Everyone else, get out!"
Everyone was frightened by this and retreated one after another. Only when they reached the courtyard did they come to their senses and ask, "Whose wife is this?"
"No, I saw the clothes she was wearing. They were embroidered and very beautiful. It doesn't look like she lives in our area."
"She can deliver babies?"
Xibing walked past them, snorted, and pushed the door open.
Inside the room, the old woman looked at Zhou Man with some suspicion, "Can you deliver babies?"
Zhou Man nodded, had someone take off the pregnant woman's pants, and then pinched a needle and gave her four injections. Seeing the pregnant woman tremble, he said, "This is for pain relief."
Seeing that she had relaxed, Zhou Man touched her belly and frowned and asked, "How many months have you been pregnant?"
She whispered, "Seven, seven months."
Manbao pursed his lips slightly and asked, "Which child is it?"
"Third child."
Although this was her third child, Manbao still couldn't relax at all, because after touching it, she found that the fetus was growing upright, which means that the fetal position was reversed.
She glanced at the pregnant woman, rolled up her sleeves, took off the jade bracelet on her hand, and handed it to Xibing, saying, "Hurry up the kitchen and ask them to bring some hot water."
She moved her fingers back and forth, doing finger exercises. Just as she was about to tell the pregnant woman the position of her fetus, she heard sobbing from the other side of the table. Everyone turned their heads and saw a little girl about two years old sitting under the table. She was pushing away the stool and crawling out while crying. There was an even younger child sitting behind her, staring at them blankly. Perhaps because she saw her sister crying, she couldn't help but pursed her lips and wanted to cry.
When Manbao saw the two children, he turned back with a stiff neck and asked the pregnant woman, "Are these your children?"
The pregnant woman nodded, a little anxiously, "Big girl, why are you here? Take your sister out quickly."
Manbao asked expressionlessly, "How old is your little daughter?"
The pregnant woman was looked at seriously by her, and for some reason she felt a little guilty, so she said, "Two years old."
"I'm asking about the age!"
The pregnant woman whispered, "One year and two months."
Manbao pursed his lips and asked, "What about your eldest daughter?"
"Two years and six months old."
Manbao's chest rose and fell sharply, then slowly calmed down. She forced a smile at the other person, turned around, picked up the two children from under the table, and opened her purse filled with snacks and gave them to them, "Take some and eat them. Your mother is going to give birth to a brother or sister for you. Be good."
After saying that, he took the child out and placed him in the yard.
Dafu Niang came over with hot water and saw the two children. She couldn't help but scold them, "You are crawling around all day long. Who told you to come here? Get out now..."
Manbao glanced at the other person, put the child in the yard, waved for Xibing, and whispered, "Go back and tell Bai Shan to bring someone over."
Although Xibing was puzzled, he nodded, but was a little worried, "My wife is here alone..."
"Don't worry, the pregnant woman won't be able to give birth for a while."
It's a difficult labor, and it's a difficult labor that hasn't even started yet. I'll have to take labor-inducing medicine soon. How can it be so fast?
It was indeed not going to happen quickly. Although she had a miscarriage after falling, there was no sign of her going into labor. However, Manbao had felt her pulse and knew that if the child was not born, there was no way to save it. It would die in the womb and would cause great harm to the mother. There was even a high chance that the child would die from heavy bleeding.
See you tomorrow
