Chapter 364 No Life
Of course, Li San Niang thought that it was also possible, such as twins?
If it's twins, then it's understandable that the belly is this big at this stage of pregnancy.
However, Li San Niang naturally preferred to avoid trouble and wouldn't ask any further questions.
In this strange atmosphere, the banquet began.
The entire banquet consisted of awkward small talk between Brother Li and Brother Wang, while Third Sister Li didn't say a word. Even when Fifth Sister made some provocative remarks, Third Sister Li ignored them.
Li San Niang's thought was to finish this meal quickly so she could take Lu Zhu'er home.
"Fortunately, I only have to come to the Wang family twice a year. If it were more often, I really wouldn't be able to stand it."
Dewdrop was confused and didn't understand why the pregnant woman always wanted to talk to her mother, but her mother ignored her.
"Does Pearl still want to eat fish? Mother will pick out the bones for you."
Dewdrop nodded, and Li San Niang picked up another piece of fish, carefully removed the bones, and then put it into Dewdrop's bowl.
After lunch, we chatted awkwardly for a while before Brother Li said he had to go home.
Wang Dalang pretended to try to persuade him to stay, so Brother Li repeated himself before finally being seen out the door.
When they left, Wang Erlang came to see them off. From the main hall all the way to the gate of the Wang family, Wang Erlang kept saying, "I have a son! My son is about to be born! I, Wang Erlang, have a successor! I've carried on the Wang family line! I'm so awesome!"
Not to mention the Li family, even Wang Dalang himself couldn't bear to look at his own brother's miserable state.
After the Li family members had all boarded the carriage, Nineteen drove it a short distance towards the gate of the neighborhood before blurting out, "My goodness, Wang Erlang must be obsessed with missing his son!"
After returning to the Li family, Li's father and mother gave each other some instructions. Li's second brother also emphasized Wang Erlang's behavior. Li's father remained silent with a sullen face, while Li's mother spoke directly: "Heh, it's fortunate that Third Sister took Luzhu with her and got a divorce. If Luzhu had been left there, given the way Wang's old woman and Wang Ziheng acted, who knows how much she would have suffered!"
Li San Niang glanced into the courtyard and saw that Lu Zhu'er was already playing with Xiao Si Lang. Turning her head, Li San Niang lowered her voice and said to Li's mother and the others, "Mother, I think Wu Niang's belly looks a bit strange."
Li's mother frowned, and Li San Niang continued to explain, "The belly is too big. Unless it's twins, the gestation period won't match."
From Li's father, eldest brother, and second brother, to Li's eldest sister-in-law and second sister-in-law, everyone was shocked, except for Li's mother, who still had a frown on her face.
“His maternal cousin, Wu Niang, was brought over last May. According to Wang Ziheng, they got together in less than ten days.”
All told, it's only been seven months.
But that belly was definitely more than seven months along; it looked like she was about to give birth.
"Oh no! Hasn't Wang Ziheng been cuckolded?"
Could it be her ex-husband's?
Li Ersao covered her mouth and said in surprise.
Li San Niang thought for a moment and shook her head: "No. I remember Wang Pozi said that this Wu Niang had been a widow for more than a year and was bullied in the village before Wang Pozi took her into Chang'an City."
"Alright, it's enough that our family knows. There's no need to say anything more."
That's all the Wang family's business; it has nothing to do with us.
Then, everyone started talking about the people who had come to the Li family to pay their respects for the New Year. Before they had finished talking, there was a knock at the door. When Li Dalang brought the person in, Li Sanniang's heart skipped a beat. Oh no, something must have happened to Jiuniang!
The person who came was Song Yulang, still looking anxious and covered in sweat!
"Qiuxiang, grab the medical kit, let's go." Turning around, she went into the courtyard. Li Sanniang squatted down and looked at Luzhu'er, saying, "Zhu'er, your mother is going out for a while. Wait for your mother to come back at home and bring you something delicious."
After saying this, Qiu Xiang took Li San Niang's medical kit and said, "Father and Mother, I'm going to save people first. If I don't make it back by night, I'll stay there."
Then, Li San Niang and Song Yu Lang quickly got into the carriage and headed towards Pingkangfang.
Inside the carriage, Li San Niang asked in a low voice, "What happened? I went to see Jiu Niang the day before yesterday, and her condition was quite stable. How could something have suddenly happened?"
Judging from the way I applied the acupuncture needles, there should be no problems for at least ten days.
Song Yulang reached out and wiped the sweat from his forehead. In the freezing cold, the sweat dripped like beads, showing how anxiously he had rushed over.
"It's my fault. I felt that Jiu Niang was in so much pain before, and if she were to be forced to give birth, it would be even more... So, I didn't want this child to be born."
With his head bowed, Song Yulang glanced up at Li Sanniang, then lowered his head again. "I... I was thinking of just letting Jiuniang go like this."
Who would have thought, Dr. Li, that you were so worried that you came to the building the other day?
At this point, Song Yulang's voice choked up: "When I heard Dr. Li say that I would have to have a cesarean section to remove the baby, I was even more scared."
So yesterday I told Jiu Niang not to have this child, and that's it.
Anyway, this child might not even survive after being born, so why have him at all?
Li San Niang was cursing inwardly, but as a doctor, she still had professional ethics. After understanding why Jiu Niang suddenly couldn't go on, Li San Niang kept a straight face and didn't say anything.
Whether Song Yulang sensed Li Sanniang's displeasure or was too anxious to speak, the carriage was very quiet, with only the noise of passersby outside reaching the ears.
Nineteen drove the car very fast, even taking a shortcut, and it took about 45 minutes to reach the back gate of Shihualou.
Linglan, who was waiting at the back door, quickly stepped forward to greet Li Sanniang, "Master, Jiuniang is not doing well, she's breathing more in than out!"
Li San Niang ran into the building. Once inside Jiu Niang's room, she quickly grabbed her gold needle pouch and began inserting the needle into the acupuncture point on Jiu Niang's crown. Within moments, Jiu Niang opened her eyes.
"Third Sister, Third Sister, save my child, save him/her, save him/her."
Li San Niang quickly took the baby's pulse, and then touched the baby's belly. "I can't wait any longer. If I don't give birth soon, the baby will suffocate in the belly."
"The time your child is born will be the time you pass away, Ninth Sister, have you thought it through?"
With tears streaming down her face, Jiu Niang nodded emphatically.
Seeing this, Li Sanniang began to instruct, "Hot water, lots of hot water." Li Sanniang took out a medicine packet from her medical kit and turned to hand it to Linglan. "This is anesthetic powder, which will alleviate Jiu Niang's suffering to some extent. Go and brew it quickly."
Seeing that Qi Zhidie was crying her eyes out and there was no way to find her, Li Sanniang turned to Song Yulang, who was still standing to the side with his head down, and said, "Young Master Song, after the baby is born, he will need to be dressed. Do you know where the things are? Prepare them, you'll need them later."
