Jian Ning heard Third Sister Tian scream, turned her head, and saw her throw herself on Tian. She was so scared that she dropped the doll in her hand and ran over, pulling Third Sister Tian up, "Sister Tian, how are you?"
"I, I don't know!" Tian fell to the ground with her big belly, her legs spread out, not daring to move. Tian San's wife was also frightened, and the woman who knocked her down was even more stunned.
Before the woman could react, a tall, murderous-looking man rushed out from the shop next door. He grabbed the woman's hair, cursed at her, and dragged her back into the shop.
The cloth shop owner also ran over at this time, and together with Jian Ning, they carefully helped Tian sit up. Jian Ning felt Tian's pulse, and Tian was still comforting her third sister-in-law, "It's okay, I'm in good health, don't worry, why are you crying? Wipe your tears quickly."
The onlookers nearby were all amazed. The scene just now scared many people around. Who would have thought that the pregnant woman was as fine as ever? Those who were worried about her found it unbelievable.
"Is this a female doctor?"
Noticing that Jian Ning was taking her pulse, those who thought Tian was fine and were about to leave stopped and watched.
As soon as Jian Ning felt Tian's pulse, she knew that she was about to give birth. She glanced around and her sight just landed on an old man pushing a cart. Ding Youtian immediately strode over and said, "Old man, I'd like to borrow your cart. It's worth it."
The old man also noticed the situation on Jian Ning's side, and hurriedly pushed the cart towards Jian Ning, saying as he ran: "You don't need to spend money, I still have some strength. Hurry and lift the woman onto the cart."
Jian Ning easily lifted Tian up by herself, and the people around her exclaimed, "Isn't this young lady really too strong?"
"Put it here." Ding Youtian helped the old man push the unsold vegetables on the cart aside. Several onlookers also came up to help. The cloth shop owner shouted, "Wait!" and quickly tore off a piece of cloth and ran over to spread it on the cart.
"Sister, am I going to give birth?" Jian Ning put Tian down. She wanted to sit up, but Jian Ning stopped her. "Lie down, don't move. You'll have an attack soon. You're going to give birth soon."
Hearing that she was about to give birth, Tian didn't dare to move, but a look of joy appeared on her face. "I heard that girls are usually born half a month early. This baby of mine must be a girl, right?"
Jian Ning patted her shoulder gently. She had taken Tian's pulse several times before she came to the county town to give birth. She was not sure before, but now she was sure that Tian's pulse was strong and the baby was definitely a boy.
Her master once said that if a pregnant woman's pulse is strong before giving birth, she will give birth to a boy, and if her pulse is weak, she will give birth to a girl.
Jane Ning never doubted her master's words.
"I'll send someone to the yamen to inform Captain Ma." The cloth shop owner recognized Tian as Captain Ma's wife. Tian and Ma Fuquan had bought cloth in his shop.
Tian responded, thanked him, and was filled with joy, immersed in the happiness of giving birth to a daughter.
Ding Youtian and the old man pushed her back to the escort agency. Along the way, she continued to comfort the sobbing Tian Sansao, and she didn't seem to be in labor at all. But when they arrived at the escort agency, Jian Ning and Tian Sansao helped her off the cart. As soon as her feet touched the ground, she suddenly clutched her stomach and screamed.
"Oh, my aunt peed her pants, mom, my aunt peed her pants!" Sanniu was sharp-eyed. When she saw that Tian's skirt was wet and there was a puddle of water on the ground, she thought she had peed her pants.
"Wow, my aunt peed such a big pee." Erniu also exclaimed.
"Get out! Your mother is... Ouch, ouch..." Tian realized that the mother of the two little guys was Jian Ning, and she hurriedly supported her waist and screamed twice to cover it up.
There was a flurry of activity, and Tian was carried into the house by her third brother. Her second sister-in-law, who was a midwife, stayed in the house with Jian Ning. Her third sister-in-law went to boil water, and when she entered the yard, she was scolded by her husband, who scolded her so much that tears rolled down her face like beads from a broken string.
The third sister-in-law was also very self-blaming. The more she wanted to do things well, the more she messed up. It was just that she couldn't hold on at the last moment. Fortunately, there was no danger. In less than half an hour, Tian gave birth to a boy.
When Ma Fuquan arrived after receiving the letter, he had just stepped into the backyard of the escort agency when he heard the crying of a baby coming from the east room. "Good! My daughter's cry is loud and powerful!"
He rubbed his hands together excitedly and paced back and forth outside the east room, glancing at the closed door from time to time. Ding Youtian smiled and said, "The one crying loudly must be a boy."
"Impossible!" Wu Juan gave birth to a daughter, and he had long been certain that Tian's child was also a daughter. Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, he heard Tian wailing in the house.
"Oh, my dear sister, don't cry during the confinement period, or you will get eye disease." Tian Ersao also knew that she wanted a daughter, so she wrapped the wrinkled baby in the swaddling cloth prepared early in the morning and didn't dare to get close to her.
"Tian Guizhi, why are you crying?" Ma Fuquan yelled from outside, "Did you give me a boy?"
"What happened to the boy?" Jian Ning was stitching up Tian's laceration. Tian's first three babies were small, about the size of kittens, so the lacerations weren't serious. Plus, she was young and strong, and her ability to heal was good. This baby was doing better than before, weighing nearly seven pounds. If she hadn't had experience with births, a laceration this size, left unstitched, would have left a serious problem.
"Mom, can this be sewn like mending clothes? It really opens my eyes." Tian Ersao was a midwife. She wanted to learn from her and took a few more glances at the baby. Therefore, she was not in a hurry to take the baby out to show Ma Fuquan.
"Second sister-in-law." Jian Ning noticed she was peeking, and after finishing the stitches, she smiled and said, "I used absorbable sutures. These don't need to be removed. You can also use silk thread, but it needs to be removed after three to five days. If you want to learn, I can teach you. Just make sure to disinfect it properly."
"Hey, learn. I want to learn from you. My sister had a big tear during childbirth. It never healed and the baby died before a hundred days old." Mrs. Tian Er's eyes turned red as she spoke.
"I'll tell you in detail later. Come, give me the child first." Jian Ning took the child in her arms, took a look at him, and said as she walked towards the bed, "He has a full forehead and looks like you. He is a blessed child."
Tian tilted her head and said, "Take it away. I won't look at it."
Jian Ning smiled and said, "If you don't want me to take it home and raise it, don't regret it later."
"No! My son is also my child. Hurry up and bring him out for me to see!" Although he felt sorry, Ma Fuquan was still anxious to take a look at his son.
"What are you looking at? Don't you dislike your son? I won't let you see it!" Jian Ning found that he had made progress and actually dared to challenge Captain Wu to a fight. It must be said that this felt quite good.
Despite what she said, she still went to the outer room and unbolted the door.
Ma Fuquan rushed in and said, "Give it to me quickly."
"Oh, please hold the child properly. It's not like that." Jane Ning corrected him several times before she felt at ease to hand the child over to him.
He strode into the inner room, holding the baby in his arms. When he reached the bedside, he tilted his head to look at the baby in his arms. Looking at the wrinkled little face, he blurted out, "How does this bear look like my child?"
Tian had stopped crying at first, but when she heard this she burst into tears again.
