"Eldest brother, third brother, fourth brother, hurry up and invite those old ladies from the village over here, quick!"
Having sent everyone out to find someone, Yue Jiuyue also pretended to go back to the house to get ginseng. After asking Xiao Wangshi, she cut off a slice and gave it to Liushi to suck on.
Although it's only a three- to five-year-old ginseng, it's still ginseng. Whether it works or not, it's better than eating until your stomach bursts. Food isn't digested and absorbed immediately after it's eaten.
One by one, the elderly women arrived, entered the delivery room, washed their hands with water mixed with vinegar, and then went forward to check on the patients.
"Oh dear! This head is too big! It'll be difficult to give birth to!"
"Yeah, they're all torn, tsk tsk."
"Let's wait a little longer. Once she's recovered, we can give her another push, and the baby should be ready to come out soon."
"That's all we can do."
The old ladies discussed the matter amongst themselves, but they still couldn't come up with a solution, leaving Liu to do her best on her own.
Yue Jiuyue wanted to suggest an episiotomy, but she only knew the term and didn't know the specific procedure. Plus, the old ladies all said it would be done soon, so Yue Jiuyue didn't dare to bring it up. After all, she wasn't a professional and had never even seen one before!
After a while, a disheveled Liu gently tugged at an old woman nearby. The old woman's eyes lit up, and she asked:
"Got energy again? Come on, push harder, come on, push harder again."
Just as the old ladies had said, the baby was born very quickly this time.
"Wow! It's a big, chubby boy! He must weigh six or seven pounds (about ten pounds)!"
Seeing such a chubby little boy, the old ladies couldn't stop smiling.
"Why aren't you crying? Spank your butt hard!"
Two slaps followed by two more slaps, and the chubby boy finally let out two faint, weak whimpers. The faces of the group of old ladies turned rather unpleasant.
“This child is too big. He must have been cooped up in the womb for too long. Madam Lin, I know you have money now. It would be best if you took the child to the town clinic to see a doctor. Don’t be stingy with the money. After all, this is your first grandson.”
"Yes, Madam Lin, he is your eldest grandson after all. Look how adorable this little boy is! We should have the doctor take a look. It would be wonderful if he could be raised to health! He's so strong even in the womb; he'll definitely grow up to be a fine young man!"
One by one, they were all trying to persuade him.
"Yes, we definitely have to go check it out, but would we dare take such a small child out?"
Yue Jiuyue couldn't bear the thought of her newborn babies developing any health problems due to not receiving timely medical attention. But could she really take these two tiny babies out? What if they got cold or something? That would be adding insult to injury.
"It's too cold outside, it's best not to take the baby out. The little one is so small, it would be a big deal if he got cold!"
"Yes, it's too small, no way."
The elderly women disagreed.
"Then please have the doctor come to our house to examine the child. Don't worry, ladies, I will do my best to cure the child!"
Yue Jiuyue assured.
"The aunts, grandmas, and sisters-in-law have all worked hard. We've prepared some food at home. Please have a bite to fill your stomachs."
It was lunchtime, and they had already called everyone over to the house. They couldn't just leave on an empty stomach, nor could they leave empty-handed. Yue Jiuyue understood this basic social etiquette.
