Chapter 623 Challenges
Brother Li, who had been watching Li San Niang's every move from the corner against the wall inside the house, stood up and walked over as soon as he saw Li San Niang finish sewing up Sister-in-law Li's belly.
Qiu Xiang thought that Brother Li wanted to see the child, so she hurriedly took the baby out of the swaddling clothes and showed it to Brother Li.
Unexpectedly, Brother Li stepped over Qiu Xiang and the child, knelt down beside Sister-in-law Li's bed, and even reached out to hold her hand.
"Mei Niang, Mei Niang?"
Li San Niang was wiping Li Da Sao's wound with an alcohol-soaked towel when she saw Li Da Xiong doing this. She had no choice but to say, "Brother, the effects of the anesthetic haven't worn off yet. It will take half an hour before Da Sao wakes up."
Brother Li didn't even glance at Sister Li, but he responded to her words with, "Yes, I know."
I'm just feeling uneasy, and I wanted to call your sister-in-law over."
After taking another careful look at Sister-in-law Li, Brother Li was about to turn around and ask Sister-in-law Li about her situation when the people waiting in the courtyard outside could no longer hold back.
Through the paper window, Li San Niang could see that Li Er Lang was practically glued to the window frame.
"Father? Father?"
Say something!
How is Mother?
But everything is fine?
Sister-in-law? Sister-in-law? "
Finally, it was Qiu Xiang who responded to Li Erlang's words from inside the house, "So that Erlang knows that sister-in-law is doing well now, and young master is also doing well."
It was only then that Brother Li, who was inside the house, realized that he should go and see his youngest son, who had caused his wife so much suffering since birth.
Outside, upon hearing Qiu Xiang's words, Li Erlang almost collapsed to the ground, but Li Sanlang, who had been watching him the whole time, caught him from behind.
Everyone else outside breathed a sigh of relief. Not to mention the Li family, even the eldest brother and sister-in-law of the Jiang family, who had been invited by the Li family to the courtyard, also let out a heavy sigh of relief.
The others relaxed, but Dr. Liang, the young boy from Shaoyang, Li's parents, and Li's second brother, though relieved, were still worried.
"The child was born safely, but it remains to be seen whether Dalang's wife can overcome the hurdle of infection."
Because of this worry, Li's father immediately discussed the prescription with Dr. Liang, wondering if they should listen to what Li San Niang had said before, "to prepare in advance and take the medicine before the infection worsens."
The happiest and most carefree person in the room was probably Kogoro, who was immersed in the fact that he was no longer the youngest child in the family and finally had a child younger than himself.
Kogoro was running around the yard, followed by three puppies that were no longer puppies. As he ran, he shouted, "I'm going to be the big brother! I'm going to be the big brother! Haha, haha!"
Inside the house, after receiving the child from Qiu Xiang, Brother Li looked at the wrinkled child who resembled a little old man and said directly to the child's face, "It's really wrong of you to make your mother suffer so much."
Therefore, I will name you Shouchang, and I wish you good health and longevity.
Less than a quarter of an hour after his birth, Xiao Liulang was named Shouchang by his elder brother Li.
To minimize the possibility of Sister-in-law Li getting infected, Brother Li held Xiao Liulang and opened a door at the entrance for everyone waiting outside to see him before closing the door behind him.
Through the door, Li San Niang said to Doctor Liang and the others outside the house, "Master, Father, Mother, Second Brother, Sister-in-law looks alright now. She should wake up in about half an hour."
But the real challenge lies ahead. I think the prescription we discussed earlier is ready to be used.
Just in case, if my sister-in-law gets a fever at night, taking this medicine in advance will help suppress it to some extent.
Otherwise, if we wait until later to brew and drink the medicine, it will be too late.
Li San Niang's suggestion was agreed upon by the old doctor Liang and the others standing outside. After nodding to his father, Li Er Xiong left and went directly to his own medicine cabinet to get the medicine. He then personally squatted on the newly built stove in the yard to brew the medicine.
Li San Niang then approached the sleeping Li Da Sao, not only taking her pulse but also activating her X-ray vision to observe the condition of the wounds on Li Da Sao's abdomen that Li San Niang had just cut open layer by layer.
However, since the cesarean section was performed not long ago, it's really hard to tell the difference.
Even so, Li San Niang dared not let her guard down.
The most difficult hurdle is now in front of us. If Sister-in-law Li can get through the first three days after her cesarean section, she will have basically saved half of her life. If she is fine within half a month after giving birth, then her life will be saved!
"Third Sister, the medicine is ready."
Qiu Xiang opened the door, took the still-steaming medicine bowl handed over by Li Erxiong, and was about to give it to Li Sanniang.
"Third Sister, let me do it."
Brother Li handed Xiao Liulang directly to Li Sanniang, and then went to help Sister-in-law Li, who had already woken up. He carefully placed a soft cushion behind her, and after seeing that Sister-in-law Li was relatively comfortable, he took the medicine bowl from Qiuxiang's hand, picked up a spoon, scooped a spoonful of medicine, blew away the heat, and then fed it to Sister-in-law Li's mouth.
"Mei Niang, try it. If it's still too hot, wait for it to cool down before eating."
Sister-in-law Li was originally a spirited and capable woman, but she was also gentle in front of her husband, especially in her current situation. Sister-in-law Li took a small sip, found it wasn't hot, and drank it in large gulps.
After drinking the herbal soup, which contained sedative ingredients, Sister-in-law Li was helped to lie down by Brother Li after seeing how energetic Xiao Liulang was. She fell asleep shortly afterward.
After seeing that Li San Niang had fallen asleep, Brother Li quickly went over to check Li San Niang's pulse.
"How is it? Is it getting hot?"
Brother Li couldn't care less about holding the baby at this moment; he just stood aside, feeling heartbroken as he looked at his weak sister-in-law.
Li San Niang said with a stern face, "It's alright. There's no fever yet. We'll see how it goes tonight. If we can get through tonight, then we'll be halfway there."
After the lamps were lit, Li's mother and Wu Qiaolan brought in food for several people from outside the house. Li's mother spoke to Li Sanniang and the others inside the house through the door: "Eldest son, go out and move to the next room tonight. I'll go in with Little Sixth Son. Sanniang and Qiuxiang will watch over Meiniang."
Brother Li was somewhat unwilling; he wanted to stay with Sister-in-law Li by himself.
However, Brother Li still agreed to his mother's suggestion. After all, even if they were siblings, it was still inappropriate for him to share a room with his younger sister in order to take care of his wife.
Only Li's mother would be appropriate to say such a thing.
Finally, Brother Li came out, and his mother came in.
However, Li San Niang had drawn a curtain between the area where Li Da Sao was and the place where Xiao Liu Lang was. When Li's mother came in, she was very puzzled by this strange curtain.
“Mother, this is to prevent the dirt outside from infecting my sister-in-law. I put up this curtain, which will block it to some extent.”
