Chapter 360 New Year's Eve
As soon as Linglan finished speaking, not only was Li Sanniang stunned, but Qiuxiang, who was sitting to the side, and Shijiu, who hadn't paid much attention at first, were also very surprised.
Does Linglan mean that Jiu Niang should just die with her unborn child?
Does this mean they don't want Jiu Niang to give birth to the child?
Is that what you mean?
"You, you, this is... this is not what you want..."
Linglan nodded. "Master, that's what I mean."
Seeing Jiu Niang like this is truly too painful.
Song Yulang was the first to suggest this method. He went to Zhidie and said that Jiu Niang was already in so much pain because of this child. If she were to force herself to give birth to this child, wouldn't she be in even more pain?
"Then let's not have children at all, and just let things be as they are."
Li San Niang was shocked that Song Yulang had said these words, but after thinking about it, she felt that she could understand them.
But will Jiu Niang agree?
No, Ninth Sister wouldn't do that!
Li San Niang shook her head, "It's really wrong of you to abandon Jiu Niang and her child like this."
Even if someone wants to give up, it has to be Jiu Niang herself who says so.
No one has the right to decide what happens to another person's body.
"This body belongs to Jiu Niang, and this is the child she wanted to have. I've told her repeatedly that if she insists on giving birth to this child, not only will she die, but the child may not even survive."
Li San Niang looked at Ling Lan with disapproval, "Since she knows everything and still decides to risk her life to give birth to the child, you should respect her decision instead of making decisions for her on your own."
She's not a three-year-old anymore.
Linglan lowered her head and remained silent, so Li Sanniang didn't say anything more.
When the time came, Li San Niang went to get the needles for Jiu Niang. After a short while, Jiu Niang slowly woke up.
"Ninth Sister, Ninth Sister, how are you feeling? Would you like some water?"
Qi Zhidie supported Jiu Niang's half-body and fed her a few sips of water with a cup. Only then did Jiu Niang regain some strength. She turned her head and saw Li San Niang. Jiu Niang called out, "San Niangzi, you've come."
Seeing Jiu Niang's weak and frail appearance, Li San Niang steeled her heart, went to her bedside, and whispered, "Jiu Niang, it's time."
Jiu Niang was stunned for a moment before realizing what Li San Niang meant.
Jiu Niang looked at Li San Niang with a calm expression, "Yes, I know, I know everything."
"Please, Third Sister, help me give birth to this child."
Jiu Niang placed her right hand on her belly. The little girl had an astonishingly large belly; anyone who saw it would be frightened.
Li San Niang nodded, "If you can give birth naturally, that would be best, but I'm afraid your body won't be able to produce a child on its own."
For an ordinary woman, administering labor-inducing drugs would usually suffice, but for you, it's not a matter of whether or not to induce labor; the problem is that you are simply incapable of giving birth on your own.
Therefore, my method is to perform a cesarean section to remove the child!
With a "crack," the soup bowl that Song Yulang was holding fell to the ground and shattered.
Undeterred by the sound, Li Sanniang continued, ignoring the frightened crowd, "I sealed your acupoints before, so your life force will mostly transfer to the fetus, allowing him/her to stay in the womb for a few more days."
This already consumes a lot of your life force, and afterwards, you will be completely unable to have children.
To save the baby, it's crucial to remove it quickly, otherwise the baby could suffocate and die inside the womb.
That's why I came up with this cesarean section method for fertilizing the fetus.
"no!
no!
Absolutely not!
Qi Zhidie shouted loudly, then turned to look at Jiu Niang, "Jiu Niang, Jiu Niang, no, no!"
How painful it must be to have a cesarean section! Ninth Sister, Ninth Sister, let's not have this child, okay? Let her stay in your belly with you, okay?
"Ninth Sister, please listen to me, please listen to me, okay?"
Jiu Niang smiled at Qi Zhi Die, who was in tears, and struggled to raise her hand to wipe away her tears. "Zhi Die, don't cry. This is all I asked for."
"Zhi Die, will you take good care of this child for me?"
Qi Zhidie could no longer hold back and burst into tears.
After a while, once everyone had calmed down, Jiu Niang said weakly but resolutely to Li San Niang, "Then, I'll have to trouble San Niang."
After saying this, Jiu Niang could no longer bear it and lay down to sleep.
Li San Niang felt very uncomfortable after hearing these words.
But this was Jiu Niang's own choice, so what else could be done?
Li San Niang then left and returned to her previous room.
A moment later, Linglan came in carrying a large food box. "Master, you haven't had dinner yet, have you?"
This is what we order at the most famous restaurant in the neighborhood. Chef, please try it.
After Li San Niang and the others finished their meal, it was already late at night, but the sounds of music still lingered in their ears.
With that sound, Li San Niang fell into a deep sleep.
After getting up in the morning, Li San Niang first went to check on Jiu Niang's condition. Seeing that it was relatively stable, she took her pulse before coming out.
Before dawn, but with the gates already open, Li San Niang and her companions left Pingkang Ward in their carriage.
Li San Niang, carrying a bag of meat-filled flatbreads, had just entered through the back door when she saw Li Da Xiong waiting at the courtyard gate.
"Brother, were you waiting for me?"
I bought some baked flatbread, it's still warm. Let's call Grandpa and Grandma to get up and eat.
Brother Li took the two bags of baked buns from Nineteen and touched them; they were indeed still warm.
“My mother said you went there last night. I was worried, so I was going to get up and exercise this morning, which is why I’m waiting here.”
Today is the 30th of the twelfth lunar month, which is New Year's Eve.
Comparing the gifts given by each family yesterday, Li's mother prepared the return gifts and sent her eldest and second eldest brothers out to deliver them.
Watching the two leave, Sister-in-law Li turned to her mother and said with a hint of anger, "Mother, why isn't the Wang family bringing gifts now?"
Li's mother's face darkened, and she felt angry.
"Wang Dalang is a steady and reliable man; he should be able to deliver himself to our doorstep today."
Li San Niang looked at Lu Zhu'er, who was brushing paste with the four little ones, and didn't find it strange.
Wang Dalang is the only one in the Wang family who is sensible. He shouldn't have forgotten to send New Year's gifts to his in-laws. Perhaps something delayed him, or maybe he wanted to send them on New Year's Eve.
As if on cue, the servants of the Wang family arrived.
Three servants dressed in grayish-brown clothes knocked on the door and came in, each carrying something in their hands; it looked like they had prepared six gifts.
"...It was prepared by the master, and he even prepared food especially for Lady Dewdrop."
Furthermore, the master instructed that on New Year's Day, he should wait at home for Lady Dewdrop to return.
After seeing off the Wang family servants, Li San Niang went to look at the box on the table.
Standing to the side, Li Ersao also watched, "The Wang family still remembers Luzhu'er, saying that Luzhu'er should come to the banquet on Yuanzheng."
"Dewdrop is still surnamed Wang, how could the Wang family forget her!"
Sister-in-law Li chimed in, and Mother Li glanced at the items in the six gifts and said to Third Sister Li, "Take out the fabric for the clothes and take it back to make clothes for Luzhu when spring comes in March."
"Leave the snacks for later, we can eat them together."
