Chapter 79: Labor (Part 2)



What surprised Wei Ting was that the candle was this long before he went to bed, and it was still this long now.

In other words, not much time had passed—

Did this woman give him a sleeping drug to make him fall asleep so quickly?

The screams continued, but they were quite far away. Wei Ting was a martial artist, so he could only hear them sporadically.

He hesitated for a moment and shook Su Xiaoxiao's shoulder: "Wake up, something happened."

Su Xiaoxiao slept so soundly that she didn't know what day it was and had long forgotten that Wei Ting was lying next to her.

She pressed Wei Ting into her arms and patted his back gently: "Xiao Hu, stop making trouble..."

Wei Ting: “…”

Fortunately, I reacted quickly and held my breath in time so I didn’t pass out!

But precisely because I didn't feel suffocated, I could feel the softness and fragrance firsthand.

Wei Ting's face flushed, and he quickly took away her chubby arm, sat up straight, and said seriously: "Something seems to have happened at Old Li's house!"

"What did you say? What happened in Old Li's house?" Su Xiaoxiao woke up from her nap.

"Someone is screaming." Wei Ting said, "It's a scream."

The Su family lives at the end of the village, while the Li family lives at the head of the village. It is true that Wei Ting's hearing is too good, otherwise, even if it were a master from the imperial palace, he might not be awakened by such a distant sound in his sleep.

Su Xiaoxiao couldn't hear it.

But she did not doubt that Wei Ting was lying to her or had heard it wrong.

There are endless quarrels between them, but there is also unspoken trust.

Su Xiaoxiao hurried to put on her clothes.

The situation was urgent, so she didn't bother to show off and just climbed over Wei Ting.

The sweet fragrance of the young girl once again entered Wei Ting's nose.

Wei Ting's eyes moved and he turned his head slightly.

Su Xiaoxiao grabbed the cotton coat, turned around, and saw Wei Ting also lifted the quilt and got out of bed.

"What are you doing?" she asked.

"I'll go with you and take a look." Wei Ting said.

"Are your legs okay?"

"No problem."

Su Xiaoxiao didn't refuse again.

Wei Ting was still not used to the knotted buttons in the countryside, and it took him a long time to button them every time.

After Su Xiaoxiao put on her clothes, he still frowned and struggled with the buttons.

"I'll do it!"

Su Xiaoxiao stepped forward and said, "Raise your arms!"

Wei Ting raised his arms obediently.

Su Xiaoxiao buttoned his buttons one by one carefully and skillfully, and then grabbed the belt and fastened it for him.

The two of them neither got married nor consummated their marriage, but at this moment, for the first time in their lives, they looked like a real couple - the wife was tidying up her husband's clothes.

Su Xiaoxiao's attention was all on Old Li's house, and she didn't notice for a moment that the two of them were behaving a little too intimately.

Wei Ting looked at the chubby girl who was changing his clothes for him wholeheartedly: "You..."

"Let's go!" Su Xiaoxiao said.

Finished, ready to go!

Wei Ting shut up.

Su Xiaoxiao handed him the cane, and seeing that he looked like someone owed him money, she asked, "What's wrong with you?"

"Nothing." Wei Ting walked out with a cane and a cold look. At this time, the villagers in the village had already fallen asleep, except for the old Su family who seemed to be still awake.

From a distance, the two heard the woman's screams and the child's sad and frightened cries.

"It's Qiu Ni."

Wei Ting said.

He was often dragged by Su Cheng to find Qian to learn how to farm. He had met Qian and Old Li's grandchildren. The grandson was three years old and was named Shuanzi; the granddaughter was seven years old and was named Qiu Ni.

The one who is crying loudly at this moment is Qiu Ni.

The screaming woman was, as expected, Qiu Ni and Shuanzi's mother, Xiao Zhao.

The headman's house was next door, and he and his wife were also awakened. When Su Xiaoxiao and Wei Ting arrived, he had just come out of bed with his cotton coat only half buttoned.

"Daya, Young Master Wei?"

The village head was very surprised.

In the past, the head of the village called Wei Ting "Ting'er" just like the other villagers. Later, after witnessing Wei Ting's talent, he felt a sense of respect in his heart and changed his way of addressing him.

"Village head." Wei Ting also greeted him.

"Why are you here?" asked the head of the village.

Wei Ting said: "We heard something was happening at the Li family, so we came over to take a look."

You can hear it even though you live so far away? What kind of ears do you have! He lives next door and was only woken up at this moment, okay?

Wei Ting went to knock on the door, and as soon as he raised his hand, the door was opened.

The one who opened the door was Old Li.

When Old Li first saw four people standing at the door, he was shocked !

"Uncle Li, it's us." Su Xiaoxiao said.

Old Li wiped the cold sweat from his face and asked, "Daya? Ting'er? Lizheng? Why are you here?"

"What happened to my sister-in-law?" Su Xiaoxiao asked.

The word "sister-in-law" showed that she was not estranged from Old Li.

Old Li wiped his red eyes: "Shuanzi fell down in the afternoon, and she went to pick him up and bumped herself... She was fine at first... But something went wrong at night..."

The head of the village's face changed.

I’m afraid Xiao Zhao is about to give birth!

He hurriedly said, "Why don't you go and get a midwife?"

That's the problem! The midwife...is gone!

The midwife came, but as soon as she entered the village... she was intercepted! "Who is it? In our village, apart from Shuanzi and Qiuni's mother, is there anyone else who wants to give birth?"

He is the village head, how could he not know?

"The old Su family?" Su Xiaoxiao asked.

Wei Ting had almost guessed it. As they walked along the way just now, only the people from the old Su family were not asleep. If there was any family in the village giving birth, it could only be the old Su family.

The head of the village thought for a moment and said, "Grandpa Su's family is not pregnant!"

"Yu Niang?" Su Xiaoxiao asked again.

Old Li nodded again.

Yu Niang is Su Jin Niang's elder sister. She married and moved to another village three years ago. She got pregnant this spring and went back to her parents' home to visit her relatives on August 15th with a bulging belly.

The village head has an impression of this incident.

"She's back for the New Year?" The village head frowned, "Then she can't take away the midwife you hired."

The Su family's reputation is well-known in the village, and Old Li did not expect Su Yu Niang to do this.

Old Li said, "The midwife did come to take a look and said that Shuanzi's mother had not had an attack yet. She went to Yu Niang first and said that she would come back after Shuanzi's mother had an attack..."

The fact is that once you go there, you can’t be invited back.

The midwife was from He Tongsheng's village. Since they lived close together, she naturally knew the situation of the old Su family. Su Yu Niang was married to the grandson of the head of Qianshui Village, and she had a younger sister-in-law who was a young lady in the town.

How can a small Zhao family be compared to her?

"What are you doing standing at the door? Go call the midwife!"

It was Qian's voice.

"I'll go first!" Old Li said to the three people, and went to Old Su's house in the wind and snow.

Old Li came back quickly, his face full of anxiety and frustration.

"Yuniang is also giving birth, and the midwife can't leave..."

Su Xiaoxiao said, "Uncle Li, let me take a look."

"You?" Old Li looked at Su Xiaoxiao in surprise.

Even though he understood that Su Daya had grown up and was no longer the lazy little bully, she was still not capable of delivering a baby...I'm afraid!

Wei Ting said: "Uncle Li, please let Daya try, Daya knows medical skills."

The village head and Old Li said in unison: "You...know medical skills?"

In order to save people, I can no longer wear my medical vest.

Su Xiaoxiao said seriously: "I met a doctor in the town, and he taught me some medical skills."

The head of the village said, "Daya, giving birth is no joke!"

"I'm not joking. If you don't believe me, ask Wei Ting. I know medicine, right, husband?" She looked at Wei Ting standing aside.

Wei Ting didn't ruin her reputation. He nodded and said, "Daya's medical skills are comparable to many famous doctors I have seen."

Is this guy... praising her?

This is the first time since the beginning of the world.

Su Xiaoxiao straightened her back! The head of the village had great respect for scholars. Wei Ting had good handwriting and wrote good couplets. In his mind, he was a descendant of a scholarly family.

He believed what Wei Ting said.

But Xiao Zhao is the daughter-in-law of the Li family after all——

"Old Li..." He turned his head and looked at Old Li who seemed to have aged ten years overnight.

Old Li was in great trouble.

At his age, how could he not understand that giving birth to a child was like walking through the gates of hell? He also wished he could trust Wei Ting and Daya, but the person lying in the room was his daughter-in-law, the mother of his two grandchildren.

If anything goes wrong, the two kids will be left without a mother! Su Xiaoxiao understood his dilemma. If it were her, she probably wouldn't be able to believe that a little bully who had been doing evil for many years could actually deliver a baby.

But this is different from Jinji, she can't use force.

She sighed softly and said patiently, "Uncle Li, you can't hire another midwife anyway, why don't you let me try."

"Let Daya try." Wei Ting said, "Daya is a girl, let her go in and help. Even if she doesn't deliver the baby, it would be good for her to take care of Qiu Ni."

These words were like a stepping stone, which immediately loosened the defenses in Old Li's heart.

Yes, his son was chopping wood and boiling water in the kitchen, and Qian was the only one in the room. She had to take care of her daughter-in-law who was about to give birth, and to comfort her crying granddaughter. She was already in a state of confusion!

Su Xiaoxiao nodded secretly. Although Wei Ting was a martial artist, he was not stupid. She had learned the rhetoric today! Old Li took Su Xiaoxiao to his daughter-in-law's room.

Wei Ting and the village head stayed in the main room waiting.

"Will the disaster turn out well?" asked the head of the village anxiously.

Wei Ting didn't say anything.

Even though Su Daya is an excellent doctor, giving birth is a very dangerous thing.

If Da Hu and his mother hadn't given birth to them, she wouldn't have—

"no!"

Qian's voice interrupted Wei Ting's thoughts.

Wei Ting and the village head looked in the direction of the sound at the same time.

Qian left the house, blocked Su Xiaoxiao at the door, and said to Old Li, "I told you to find a midwife! Look what you found! She's just a little girl! Are you crazy to ask her to deliver Chunxiu's baby?"

Old Li was embarrassed.

Su Xiaoxiao sighed.

Alas, did you just listen to Wei Ting's words? As soon as she met Aunt Qian, she told him everything. The first few sentences could really be omitted! Now, I can't even get in. How can I deliver the baby for Xiao Zhao? After a period of time, Aunt Qian has changed her mind about the Su family, but this does not mean that she will hand over her daughter-in-law's life to Su Pangya.

Su Pangya is at most a little bully who has turned over a new leaf. Delivering a baby? Impossible! Su Xiaoxiao now learned Wei Ting's words: "Aunt Qian, I won't do anything else but go in to see Qiu Ni and say a few words to my sister-in-law. My sister-in-law can't fall asleep now."

Qian's heart skipped a beat. That's right, when a woman gives birth, she falls asleep and never wakes up...

Su Xiaoxiao clenched her chubby fists and said, "Look how fierce I am. If I stand there, she will definitely not be sleepy anymore. I will scare the baby out!"

Qian: “…”
