The cold-blooded and heartless words made the young man's eyes bloodshot. He no longer cared about filial piety and rushed over to restrain the old woman to prevent her from causing trouble.
"Divine doctor, please go and save my wife and children."
The young man loved his wife so much that he was not afraid to bear the stigma of being unfilial. Everyone present admired him.
Gao Cizheng nodded emphatically and took several female students into the small delivery room.
The midwife who was pushing hard on the woman's belly was frightened by the aggressive crowd and let go of her hands.
Gao Ci pushed her away, quickly gave the woman in labor a few injections, and then arranged things in an orderly manner.
"Pinellia, give the woman in labor a piece of ginseng to hold in her mouth."
"Xinyi, prepare hot water."
“…”
"Bai Ying, massage the woman's abdomen to assist with delivery."
After giving all the instructions, Gao Ci took a deep look at his favorite student.
Bai Ying received the teacher's expectant gaze, took a deep breath, her eyes became firm, and her hands stopped shaking.
As time passed, the hearts of the people outside became more and more tormented.
The husband's body was so tense that he was trembling slightly, and his eyes showed panic, fear, and hope...
An hour later, the crying of a baby was heard amidst everyone's prayers.
Gao Ci walked out holding a swaddling baby, leaving the female students to clean the blood stains for the mother.
"Mother and daughter are safe. Fortunately, I have fulfilled my mission."
These words were like the sound of nature, and the students all cheered for this miraculously born little life and the strong and great mother.
The young man who had been promoted to a father collapsed all over, but a happy smile appeared on his face, and a tear slipped down the corner of his eye again.
Gao Ci handed the swaddling clothes to the man, who took it carefully and felt that the weight in his hand was incredibly light.
The baby's face was rosy and her hair was sparse, but in the man's eyes, she was adorable. This was his and Cai'er's daughter! She was the blood relative he had longed for...
Just as everyone present was looking at this tender and heartwarming scene with satisfaction, the old woman, who had lost her grip, suddenly rushed over and snatched the swaddling clothes, muttering to herself in disbelief.
"Impossible... How could it be a girl?"
"The midwife clearly said it was a big fat boy..."
"Is it you who replaced my grandson..."
After the old woman opened the swaddling clothes and confirmed it again and again, she finally gave up and turned to glare at Gao Ci with a crazy look.
Looking at the daughter in the old woman's arms who was crying non-stop due to the violent shaking, the man quickly snatched her away and gently comforted her with heartache.
After his daughter fell into a deep sleep, the man entered the room and placed the swaddle at the head of his wife's bed, then kissed the woman's pale face tenderly.
He made a decision in his heart, turned and walked out of the room, knelt down and kowtowed three times to the old woman.
"Mother, I am unfilial. Please go back to your hometown."
"What?!"
"Are you going to send me back to the village just for this little thing?"
The old woman pointed at her unfilial son, her pair of harsh, slanted eyes filled with anger and disgust.
As expected, the eldest son was born to be annoying and lacks the caring and filial piety of the younger son.
The man smiled wryly. Did his mother think two lives were a small matter? Besides, these were his wife and child...
"If it weren't for the miracle doctor's help, Cai'er would have nearly lost two lives today. Don't you feel guilty?"
"I know you don't like Cai'er's background, but no matter what, I will only marry her."
"Besides, even if she's a daughter, so what? The Queen Mother always said that women are no worse than men. Aren't there many female healers here?"
"Hmph, what's the point of having a girl? Only a grandson can carry on the family line. How can this woman show herself in public?"
Unexpectedly, the old woman not only refused to listen, but also mocked the female students, which made everyone in the academy angry. They wanted to step forward to argue with her, but were stopped by Gao Ci.
Seeing that the old lady had no guilt on her face, the man was extremely disappointed. He said no more and just made a cold threat.
"If mother still wants the monthly offerings, please return to the village."
"You, you, you unfilial son!"
The old woman covered her chest and scolded her son, but instead of coming to support her, her son still had a cold attitude.
Knowing that the situation was irreversible, the old woman left in disappointment for the sake of her youngest son's newly built house.
Gao Ci noticed the man's lost and sad expression and stepped forward to comfort him.
"Some things can't be forced."
"Your wife is currently suffering from a deficiency of Qi and blood. She cannot work for two months and needs more care."
"I understand. Thank you all for your help today. I'll go get the consultation fee now."
With his wife and children to take care of, the man quickly cheered himself up.
He thanked everyone with gratitude and prepared to go to the room to get some money to repay them.
Gao Ci held the man, shook his head, and spoke in a gentle tone.
"Today's clinic is free, so you're welcome."
"Yes, just use it to buy meat to nourish your wife."
"During this period, you must keep warm and avoid being exposed to the wind."
The man was deeply moved by everyone's words of concern.
I never thought that the care I didn't get from my own mother was received from a group of strangers.
The sadness and pain deep in his heart slowly faded away in this warmth. From now on, he just wanted his family of three to live a good life and no longer yearned for those empty things.
By the time things were successfully completed, it was already dusk.
Goose yellow, crimson purple, peach pink... various colors of sunset glow are intertwined in the sky, gorgeous and magnificent, just like everyone's wonderful mood at the moment.
