Chapter 152: New Life
"Where's Xiaowu? Mr. Pan, my Xiaowu hasn't come yet?"
Pan He heard someone outside shouting, "I'll take Doctor Su away on horseback first, and have Bo Song drive the carriage behind."
Qin Fangci breathed a sigh of relief. She had told Li Baisong in advance that if Mrs. Du's delivery was not smooth, she would go and ask for help from Mrs. Jiang.
The old doctor from Hedong Town was hurriedly dragged into the yard by Zhang Chong and just happened to hear Pan He call "Doctor Su".
The old doctor blew his beard and glared at Zhang Chong, and said, "You invited Doctor Su to come."
He held on to him all the way, as if he was fleeing, and the bumpy journey didn't cause his old bones to fall apart.
Zhang Chong: “…”
He didn't know that the Li family could call a doctor so quickly!
Others have horses but he only has an ox cart, so they are really no match.
Zhang Chong was in a difficult situation now. The rapid rise of the Li family was unexpected. His father had wanted to have a good relationship with them, but who would have thought that the wives would be more of a hindrance than a help.
Zhang Chong was racking his brains over what he could do to make things more respectable today when Doctor Su came out.
The old doctor, who had just been glaring and looking unhappy, performed a Sichuan Opera face-changing show for Zhang Chong on the spot.
He ran towards Doctor Su with a smile on his face.
The old doctor is obviously old enough to be Dr. Su's father, but he still creates a scene of a son throwing himself upon his father.
"Doctor Su, Doctor Su, I'm from Hedong Town... We've met before. They're a truly sensible family. I came to see their child last time, and he also fell that time... I wonder how the woman is doing now?"
The old doctor patted his medicine box and said, "I have also prepared some herbs. If you need any, Doctor Su, please come and get them."
Then he took the opportunity to learn a little bit, hehe.
Doctor Su glanced at the old doctor, thinking of the woman in labor inside, and asked him in a low voice, "Do you have any good way to relieve the pain?"
The old doctor glanced at Doctor Su, then looked around and asked in a low voice, "Are you going to...save the master?"
Doctor Su: “…”
Although Qin Fangci had told him this, he really didn't mean that now.
"She crushed her left arm when she fell, and it's broken, maybe with broken bones."
“Ah, this…”
If there are broken bones, the hand will never return to its previous state even if it heals.
Fractures cannot be delayed. Once the bones have grown, not only will it be difficult to correct them, but the recovery will also be worse.
But the mother is having a difficult delivery...
Bone correction is more likely to cause postpartum hemorrhage.
If only there was a way to stop the pain...
No wonder, no wonder...
Doctor Su saw that the old doctor had thought of it and nodded slightly to him. He was a doctor with some ability.
"Doctor, the medicine is ready." Wang brought out the medicine.
"Send it in. Grandma Jiang will be here soon. It's just in time."
This is a medicine for preserving pregnancy and inducing labor.
The old doctor squinted his eyes and looked over, trying to figure out what medicine Doctor Su had used from the soup.
Zhang Chong tiptoed closer to listen and heard two words intermittently, "pain relief" and "broken hand". The clearest words were from the old doctor, "Ah, so, what's the situation now? What does this mean?"
Changxi drove the carriage with Li Bosong and Jiang Po, while Li Laoda rode his donkey and fell behind alone...
"Mom, mom," Li Baisong jumped out of the car and started shouting, "Grandma Jiang is here."
Qin Fangci hurried out to ask for help, and when she saw that it was really Mrs. Jiang, she breathed a sigh of relief.
But Mrs. Jiang saw Doctor Su at first sight.
Two people, oh no, three people met and had a brief exchange.
"I have to go in again and take out the needle for her."
"Doctor Su, can you stay inside and take Rou Niang's pulse?"
Everyone looked over in surprise.
Let the doctor stay in the delivery room to watch the woman give birth.
"Mom! How can that be?" Qin Fangci slapped away Boss Li's dissatisfied muttering, and also slapped him in the face, making him bleed.
Boss Li: “…”
"I'll move a stool for you and cover your eyes with a cloth. You can take her pulse. Having you by her side will make my daughter-in-law feel more at ease. I'm sorry to trouble you."
Not only Dr. Su, but everyone present was moved.
There were also those who felt that Qin Fangci's move was not very good, but Qin Fangci was now in a strong position, so they dared only hide their dissatisfaction in their hearts.
The old doctor wanted to go in, but his medical skills were not as good as Dr. Su's, and he was not good at delivering babies, so he could only stay outside and do the work of decocting medicine.
After things were discussed, Qin Fangci took people in.
The cloth was covered on Mrs. Du's belly again.
"Mom, there are too many people here and it's crowded. Should we go out first?" Yuan asked in a low voice.
Qin Fangci nodded.
Only Qin Fangci, Hu Hui's wife and Ma Po were left in the room.
Doctor Su removed the needle from Mrs. Du and found a small stool to sit beside her. He nodded gently at her and said, "Don't be afraid. Aunt Jiang and I are here."
Doctor Su took out a handkerchief from his bosom and tied it over his eyes.
Qin Fangci pulled Doctor Su's hand and placed it on Mrs. Du's pulse.
When Doctor Su was tying the handkerchief, Grandma Jiang pulled away the cloth covering Mrs. Du's belly and was now touching Mrs. Du's belly with both hands.
Grandma Jiang is indeed a professional midwife. With her help, the baby finally turned over.
"I see the end, Madam Li, please try harder."
Du was gathering strength, and Doctor Su pressed his fingers on Du's Hegu acupoint to help relieve her pain and better gather strength.
"The baby's umbilical cord is entangled. Bring me some scissors."
"Don't relax, breathe, and push hard."
Doctor Su took out the silver needle and inserted it.
Mrs. Du cried out in pain, and Grandma Jiang quickly cut the umbilical cord with her hands and wrist, and with a nimble flick of her wrist, the baby slid out.
Grandma Jiang deftly untied the baby's umbilical cord. The baby didn't cry, but his face turned purple.
It's a little boy.
Grandma Jiang turned the child upside down and patted him twice, but the child still couldn't breathe.
"Doctor Su, please check on the child. He's having trouble breathing."
Qin Fangci took the child and turned to find Doctor Su.
Doctor Su gently took the child and pressed his fingers lightly on his heart and lungs.
"Can we try to give him a break?" Qin Fangci asked.
Doctor Su nodded. "Come here, I'll massage him. He still has a pulse. He'll be fine once he breathes again."
Qin Fangci pulled out a piece of clean gauze, covered the baby's mouth with it, took a deep breath and blew into the baby's mouth under the gauze.
One, two, three times.
The little baby cried out, and his purple face turned red because of the crying.
Everyone inside and outside the house breathed a sigh of relief when they heard the child crying.
"Blood!"
Hu Hui's wife's scream interrupted everyone's joy.
"Bring in the hemostatic medicine." Doctor Su shouted loudly, and at the same time pulled out a silver needle and stabbed it into Mrs. Du.
The breath that Mrs. Du had held steady was lost when she heard the baby crying. She fainted, and the blood under her body turned pale like a flood that had broken the dam.
Grandma Jiang took the child, cleaned him up quickly, and handed him to Hu Hui's wife, "Take him out and feed him something."
Hu Hui's wife took the child out.
Boss Li, without even wiping off the bloodstains on his face, hurriedly came forward and asked, "Son or daughter?"
