The old man wanted to hold a wedding banquet and marry his son that very night. That night, no one would keep an eye on her or pay attention to what the old man was doing. After drinking, they would all go back to their own homes.
This is the only chance.
Jiang Xia heard a knock on the door. The old lady handed Jiang Xia a bunch of herbs and also gave Jiang Xia something to process the herbs, because she said that the child was so anxious that she didn't have time to boil the medicine. By the time the medicine was ready, the child was already cold.
After bringing the things into the house, Jiang Xia first dealt with the body of the woman in front of him, Liu Guizhu. He first gave the steamed bun to Liu Guizhu, who swallowed it reluctantly to fill her stomach. Then he tried to stuff a few of the medicines directly into Liu Guizhu's mouth, asking her to chew them and concentrate. He then started to process the medicines, dividing them into two.
Time was very tight. Jiang Xia's hands were shaking slightly, and she even broke them because she used too much force. Tears welled up in her eyes due to the pain, but she didn't stop moving her hands. She pursed her lips, trying to go faster and faster. When the grinding was almost done and she hid the thing close to her body, Jiang Xia turned around and looked at Liu Guizhu beside her.
Without acupuncture needles, she could only press a few acupuncture points on Liu Guizhu's body, spread her body to allow her to move better, and then used scissors to cut open the lower part. At the same time, she carefully sprinkled some of the hemostatic powder she had ground onto the wound.
"Please use more force." Jiang Xia said.
The medicine she gave Liu Guizhu was a strong one. It was not diluted with water or stewed. It was taken directly. The dosage was also high. It could keep Liu Guizhu alive and help her get through it, but there was no way for the baby in her belly. After the baby was born, it looked alive and well, and there was nothing wrong with it.
But all medicines are poisonous. It's okay for adults, but babies may not be able to withstand it. The baby in the belly will die after two days at most.
Liu Guizhu knew this.
It was because of this that she was willing to give up the child. Before, she would rather die than let the baby in her belly fall to the ground. If she had a child, she would be tied to the child and would be tied to this family for the rest of her life and would never be able to escape.
A baby's cry was heard in the room. At this moment, the old lady and the men of the Zhang family, who had been guarding outside, came in at the same time. Jiang Xia quickly pulled up the bed sheet beside her to cover Liu Guizhu.
"Oh, my dear grandson, he cries so vigorously, he is worthy of being the grandson of our Zhang family!" The old lady looked at the baby boy who was born and smiled happily. She was so happy.
After giving birth, Liu Guizhu lost all her strength and lay on the bed. Seeing two people coming in holding a newborn baby boy with smiles on their faces, her eyes fell on the child and she couldn't describe the feeling.
Feeling disgusted, angry, and a little bit heartbroken, he finally turned his head and looked away.
Jiang Xia walked out of the inner room with his head lowered and washed the blood off his hands. The old man had been standing outside the house. He now had a piece of bacon in his hand, which was obviously given by the Zhang family. His face was full of joy. He glanced up and down at Jiang Xia to make sure that Jiang Xia didn't have anything in his hand that he shouldn't have, and his pockets were empty, so he didn't hide anything that he shouldn't have.
"Come on, son, go back and get a wife." The old man shook the bacon in his hand and walked home.
