Gaoshan Village is very poor, and the surrounding area is notoriously poor. After walking all the way, Shen Annian has a deeper understanding of their poverty.
When they approached a house, they saw a lot of people gathered at the door, and there was crying and howling in the yard. It sounded like something big had happened.
Zhao Yongshi never thought that when the cadres came over, they would see this scene.
In order to avoid Shen An Nian’s misunderstanding, he took the initiative to explain: “The daughter-in-law of this family is pregnant and is probably giving birth.”
A middle-aged woman nearby said, "She's not giving birth. She's been crying since late last night. I heard she's having a difficult birth and even the midwife can't help."
Shen Annian’s eyebrows jumped suddenly.
Although she had never given birth, she had heard how painful childbirth could be.
Especially these days, the sanitary conditions are not good and there is almost no auxiliary obstetric equipment. Giving birth can be said to be like having one foot in the gate of hell for women.
The woman is having a difficult delivery, why don’t they go to the hospital?
"The situation is so urgent, why don't you send him to the hospital?"
"If Mrs. Ding doesn't want to, who would dare to take her to the hospital?"
When Shen Annian heard this, he thought, this is impossible. If something goes wrong, there will be two lives lost.
"Let's go in and take a look."
A withered old lady stopped at the door. She didn't know Shen Anyan, but she knew Zhao Yongshi.
"A baby is being born inside, you can't go in."
"It's already a difficult birth, why are you letting the mother give birth at home? If she can't give birth naturally, she has to go to the hospital for a caesarean section. If it's delayed any further, both the mother and the child will be in danger."
"We can't go to the hospital, we can't have a Caesarian section, because the operation will hurt the baby and the baby will become a fool. We don't want a fool in our family.
If the little ghost possesses me, it will kill my parents and my whole family.
If that doesn't work, let her give birth at home. Every woman has gone through this. I gave birth to five children and they are all doing well now."
Shen Annian was so angry that his lungs hurt when he heard this.
How could there be such an ignorant person? Would she rather watch a woman die in childbirth?
"You stopped the woman from going to the hospital. If something happens to her, you'll be a murderer. Go to jail."
Shen Anyian looked at Zhao Yongshi, "Can you get someone to grab the woman in labor and take her to the hospital?"
Before Zhao Yongshi could answer, the old lady acted like a madman and said, "If you dare to go in, I will crash into the door and die. I want to see who dares to go in."
At this critical moment, Shen An Nian really didn't have the patience to reason with the old lady, so she said directly to Zhao Yongshi: "Go in and bring the mother out, I'll watch here..."
The old lady didn't know where she got the strength from, and pushed Shen Annian away, "No one can go in."
Shen Annian was caught off guard and was pushed to the ground by her, with his arm scratched.
Zhao Yongshi was shocked. This was the secretary of the commune. Could it be that Old Lady Ding was crazy?
"Old lady Ding, what are you doing? You even dare to hit the commune leader."
Old Lady Ding was dumbfounded. This girl turned out to be the leader of the commune.
When she saw that she was so young and looked like this, she thought she was a new daughter-in-law of some family, but who knew she was the leader.
Her arrogance was somewhat dampened, and she glanced at Shen Annian fearfully.
Shen Anyan's arm was injured, but she didn't have time to care about it. "I'm fine. It's important to send him to the hospital."
Zhao Yongshi immediately rushed into the yard and asked the man in that family to carry the person out quickly.
As the team leader, Zhao Yongshi has a strong appeal in the team.
As soon as he gave the order, everyone took down the door panel, laid a quilt on it, put the woman in labor on the door panel, and ran away like the wind carrying her.
Zhao Yongshi also followed to see what was going on.
If someone really dies, it will be no small matter.
The old lady howled and screamed, trying to rush over to stop them.
Shen An Nian stopped the man and was scratched several times by the old lady.
The people around couldn't stand it anymore and came over to stop her, "Auntie, the leaders of the commune are here, why are you still making a fuss?"
"Look at how you beat up the commune leader. He'll arrest you and put you in jail soon."
Old Lady Ding's noise became quieter, and she didn't dare to scratch Shen Annian anymore. She sat on the ground crying and making a fuss.
"The commune leaders can't bully an old woman like me. I have a miserable life. Even my grandson is about to be killed..."
Shen Anyian glanced at her coldly, "This is a new society. How dare you use those ghost tricks to slander modern medicine? Just wait to be made an example of."
Old Lady Ding's cries suddenly stopped.
She knew what it meant to identify someone, which was to bring the person in front of the entire team, make him/her self-criticism, and have him/her identify his/her face.
If she were caught as an example, she would have no dignity left and would rather die.
"Why are you arresting me? She is my daughter-in-law. I can do whatever I want. You have no right to interfere."
"She was married into your family, not sold into your family. It's not like selling slaves as servants in feudal society. I think you really need a good education."
Shen Annian was too lazy to talk to her, so he hurried to the brigade office, picked up his bicycle and went to the town hospital.
The people who stayed behind looked at each other in confusion. The leader had given the order to arrest Old Lady Ding.
This old lady Ding is so fierce that she even dares to hit the commune leader.
Mrs. Ding, who was considered tough by everyone, was so scared that her legs went weak and she could hardly stand.
She just let her wife give birth at home. Why should she be made an example of?
If she doesn't go, no one can catch her.
She quickly ran into the house and closed the door, as if that would prevent anyone from taking her away.
When Shen Annian rushed to the town, the mother's condition was very bad and she urgently needed a blood transfusion.
Fortunately, the school library has the blood type that the mother needs, but even so, the mother's condition is not optimistic.
