Ding Pingshun breathed a sigh of relief when he knew Sanniang and her child were safe. However, he became anxious again when he thought of another matter.
He glanced into the clinic, his face full of anxiety again.
Chang took advantage of the wine drinking break to sneak a moment of leisure and came over to see what was going on. Seeing that he seemed very uneasy, she stepped forward and asked, "It's not your wife who's having a difficult labor, why are you so worried?"
"What are you talking about? Why should I worry about her? This is the first time I've heard of someone being disemboweled. I'm worried about the situation. I'm worried about the fourth son's wife. What if something happens and her husband comes looking for trouble? What should we do?"
When Chang heard this, she realized that this was true. She was also worried about Jian Ning.
"What's going on in there?" Chang leaned over and looked over his shoulder. Guoguo was guarding the door like a black-faced door god.
Ding Youtian had ordered that no one be allowed to enter.
"I don't know. Anyway, I heard the baby crying a few times, and then there was no movement."
"So the baby was really taken out of the belly? Oh my God, how could the fourth son's wife be so capable? The belly should have been sewn open by now, right? Do you think the person can still survive?"
"How would I know? Go do your work. I'll stay here and call you if I have any news. Go quickly."
Ding Pingshun was extremely anxious, but he didn't dare show it.
Sanniang's due date is half a month away. She is giving birth to a boy. Usually, boys will not go into labor until the full term or a few days later.
The reason why she had an attack early today was because of Ding Pingshun.
At noon, after Dabao and his friends had lunch and went to school, Ding Pingshun cleaned up the kitchen and looked at the two baskets of vegetables. He really didn't feel like picking any to sell.
Firstly, the business that was supposed to make three times the profit failed, so he was not interested in such a small profit; secondly, he was worried that Sanniang would tell Jian Ning about him, so he told Jian Ning about the last time he brought Ding Youwang here. He was so uneasy that he really had no mood to sell vegetables.
Although this house is not his, he goes in and out of it every day so much that he has a false impression that he is a local.
He was afraid that Jian Ning would want to drive him away after hearing what Sanniang said, so he had no intention of selling vegetables. However, if he didn't pick out the two baskets of vegetables to sell, they would become more and more withered. He would not be able to pay the money for selling the vegetables when he returned, and he would have to look after Chang's face again.
After thinking about it, he had no choice but to pick out the vegetables.
Ding Pingshun locked the door and went to Sanniang's shop to put the key. Seeing Sanniang cleaning the shop alone, he couldn't help but want to ask what she whispered to Jian Ning?
He wanted to ask something, but he kept beating around the bush and stammering. Sanniang despised him for that. She knew exactly what he wanted to ask, so she raised her eyebrows impatiently and said, "What do you want to ask? Ask it openly. Don't look so shifty and act like that. Are you annoying me?"
Sanniang swung the rag in her hand, slapping it against the counter frame. Then she glared at him sideways, "You just want to ask me if I told Dabao's mother about the time you lured people here? Why don't you just ask directly? Why do you have to act so sneaky? If someone sees us, they'll think there's something unexplainable going on between you and me!"
Since she had made it clear, Ding Pingshun made up his mind, "So, did you tell her?"
"I said it!"
"How can you say that?"
Ding Pingshun got anxious when he heard this. "I don't even know that person. He came to my house and asked for a drink. I just gave him a glass of water. It didn't cost me a penny. Why are you talking so much? What are you up to?"
"Oh, you're still furious? What are you so anxious about? I'm just a passerby, asking for a drink of water. Why are you so angry with me? Who are you looking for? You don't want to ask from anyone in the east, and you don't want to ask from anyone in the west, but you have to ask for it from me? If that person is not from Dingjia Village, I, Sanniang, will take your last name from now on."
"You didn't buy this house, so what right do you have to invite people here? It would be fine if you did, but you're wailing here. The family hasn't even moved in yet, so I have to ask you, what are you thinking? Bringing people here to wail!"
"I'm not saying anything mean to you, it's just that you're such a dishonest person. Dabao's parents have been very kind to your family, yet you look at how unsuccessful you are. You secretly stuffed all the delicious food you made into your son's schoolbag. Are you thinking I'm blind?"
Sanniang retorted to him without any hesitation.
Ding Pingshun was furious. He had a fight with Chang last night, and the grain deal had gone to waste. He was already unhappy. Furthermore, he was a timid person, and when his temper flared up, he became careless and said things without thinking.
He pointed at Sanniang and cursed, "You woman are more poisonous than a snake. How does it bother you if I invite someone to come to my house to drink water? You deserve to lose your second child. You poisonous woman, don't even think about saving this one. Sooner or later, you will die of tuberculosis! Just wait and see!"
Death from childbirth tuberculosis means that a woman will die from childbirth complications. It is the cruelest and most vicious insult.
Sanniang had lost her second child and miscarried, and now she was about to give birth. How could she not be angry and furious after hearing this? She immediately threw down the rag and rushed over from behind the counter, threatening to tear his mouth apart. In her anger, she accidentally bumped her stomach against the edge of the cabinet door, causing a miscarriage and the subsequent breaking of her water. She was so frightened that she clutched her stomach and screamed.
Ding Pingshun was also shocked when he saw the amniotic fluid overflowing from the counter.
"Go call Dabao's mother!" Sanniang was in so much pain that she couldn't even straighten her back. She slammed the counter and shouted at him.
He reacted and hurried out, but after a few steps, he was called back. People in the surrounding shops knew that Sanniang had booked a midwife long ago, and they also knew that she was from the same village as Ding Pingshun, so they asked him to send Sanniang directly.
Someone pushed a flatbed cart over and helped lift Sanniang onto the cart. Someone else brought a quilt to cover Sanniang. He pushed the cart and ran towards the village with only one thought in his mind: Sanniang and her son must not be in any harm, otherwise he would be finished.
He ran all the way without forgetting to comfort Sanniang. Because of his kindness, Sanniang did not tell Jian Ning why she had an early attack. She kept her eyes closed during the operation and only opened them when Jian Ning brought the child to her side.
The child was born safely, and she herself was also safe and sound. Sanniang decided to consider it as a blessing for the child and not to mention anything else. After Jian Ning sewed up her belly, the anesthetic wore off, and the pain spread from her toes upwards to her stomach, with waves of pain becoming increasingly severe, and she cried out again.
"Can you bear it?" Jian Ning asked her, and said: "If not, you can use pain-relieving cotton, but it is best not to use it, so that the peristalsis function of the intestines can be restored as soon as possible. The sooner you fart, the sooner you can eat. You can't eat before you fart."
Hearing her say this, Sanniang gritted her teeth and said, "I can bear it!"
Eating earlier means being able to breastfeed earlier, so she knew she had to endure it whether she could or not.
"It's okay, I'll go out first." Ding Youtian saw that Jian Ning had handled everything, and he, a grown man, felt uncomfortable staying in the room.
"Thank you, Dabao's father." Sanniang said while taking a breath.
"Thank my wife. She saved you and your son." Ding Youtian took off his sterile suit and mask, walked out of the room, and bumped into Sanniang's man head-on.
