She had just given instructions on how to administer the medication when someone outside called out, "Sister, sister, open the door quickly—"
Jiang Qiao was taken aback when she saw the potato. "What's wrong? What happened?"
Before Potato even entered the house, someone said, "Sister, hurry up! That woman is about to give birth. Aunt Jian has already taken her to the hospital. Aunt Dong is worried and wants you to go with her to check on her."
Jiang Qiao nodded. "Wait here, I'll change my clothes. You come in first—"
Ning Hao walked over and asked, "What's wrong? Is Zheng Junling about to give birth?"
As Jiang Qiao put on her cotton-padded coat, she said, "That's right, her husband hasn't even arrived yet, and she's already started. I'm leaving now, you go to sleep first, we have to go up the mountain tomorrow, we'll talk when I get back."
Ning Hao was also worried; with just these two people, what if something happened? "I'll go with you—"
Putting on the cotton-padded coat, he didn't even allow Jiang Qiao to refuse. He grabbed Jiang Qiao's hand and urged Little Potato to lead the way.
When Jiang Qiao arrived, Zheng Junhua had already been taken into the delivery room, and Dong Kaizhen and the others were waiting anxiously outside.
Upon seeing Jiang Qiao arrive, Dong Kaizhen, who is usually quite calm, became unusually anxious, as if she had found her pillar of support when she saw Jiang Qiao.
Pulling Jiang Qiao along, he said urgently, "Qiao'er, do you need to go in and check? I heard this child screaming so pitifully, could something have happened?"
It's no wonder Dong Kaizhen was so nervous. Mainly, she had no experience in this area. Besides, the child inside was the orphan of an old comrade-in-arms, his only remaining bloodline. She couldn't just stand by and watch the child get hurt.
Jiang Qiao patted Dong Kaizhen's hand. "Auntie, don't worry. I checked Sister Zheng's baby before. The baby's position is correct, and there's nothing seriously wrong. Let's wait patiently."
In Jiang Qiao's mind, this was at least a hospital, and it was better and more reliable than having a midwife at home.
However, as someone who is always traveling, she had no idea what was going on inside the hospital.
Dong Kaizhen understood this matter far better than Jiang Qiao. "Girl, I think you should go in and take a look. Your aunt trusts your medical skills. Besides, you're carrying twins; we can't afford any problems. Let me tell you..."
Jiang Qiao never dreamed that even the obstetrics and gynecology department wouldn't be spared. What could she say? In this public place, with other pregnant women's families present, she couldn't make a judgment. Of course, she also understood Dong Kaizhen's concerns.
"Auntie, I'll be right inside, you wait here—"
Normally, someone like Jiang Qiao shouldn't be allowed to enter so easily, but Dong Kaizhen is quite something. She pushed open the door and started yelling at the people inside.
“Our midwife has arrived. Let me tell you, the woman in labor is the only descendant of a martyr. I won’t allow any problems. Let our family members go in and help. Girl, something’s not right with what your sister is saying.”
Since Dong Kaizhen had spoken, Jiang Qiao naturally didn't hesitate and went in without a word. She then saw Zheng Junhua lying on the delivery bed with a nurse by her side, while the others were busy taking care of the mother in the next delivery bed.
"Who let you in?"
When the nurse saw Jiang Qiao, her face immediately fell, and her tone became even more unpleasant.
"Do you even know where you are? This is the delivery room! Get out of here!"
Jiang Qiao completely ignored this and went over to take Zheng Junhua's pulse. Her expression changed immediately. "The baby in her belly has its umbilical cord wrapped around its neck. What are you doing, making a pregnant woman wait like this?"
It would be a lie to say I wasn't angry. Didn't you see how much pain Jung Joon-young was in? He didn't even have the strength.
The nurse said, "We don't know either. They're all over there delivering babies. Besides, her cervix isn't fully dilated yet."
Jiang Qiao glared at the other person, "Hurry up and get your doctor here to deliver the baby. This is a military family member; if something goes wrong, who's going to take responsibility? Her husband isn't even here—"
After saying that, he went over and disinfected the baby himself, ready to take matters into his own hands. Meanwhile, the woman in labor was having problems; the baby was in the wrong position and came out feet first. So, everyone was too busy to care about anything else.
Even though the nurse was calling out, no one was available to help. "Tell her to wait—"
Jiang Qiao tidied herself up, glanced at the person next to her, and sighed. She wasn't oblivious to the doctors who were delivering the babies; judging from their flustered state, they clearly lacked experience. They probably had only ever assisted senior doctors before, or simply lacked experience altogether.
However, she didn't have time to waste. She quickly came over and called to the nurse, "Prepare everything that needs to be prepared. I need to solve the problem of the tangled neck."
Jiang Qiao doesn't want Zheng Junhua to have a C-section for the time being. First of all, she hasn't done it in a long time. Second, she's afraid that if things don't go well, she'll let down Dong Kaizhen and the others who trust her.
I closed my eyes, calmed myself down, and then told Jung Joon-hwa about the current situation.
"Sister Zheng, don't worry, I'll try first. Just do as I say, even if it hurts—"
What Jiang Qiao did next left the nurses nearby speechless; they had never seen anyone do that before.
Jiang Qiao touched the pregnant woman's belly and talked to the baby inside her. "Do you think this person has something wrong with their brain? Besides, the pregnant woman is already like this, why are you bothering her? Are you here to help or to cause trouble?"
Well, the nurses weren't interested, mainly because they were worried about the pregnant woman's condition. She wanted to help, but she was just a nurse and had only been working for a year. She had never actually done this before, but that didn't stop her from being kind-hearted.
"Comrade, you can't do this to the pregnant woman. You're driving her crazy. What does the fetus know? It won't understand you even if you talk to it."
Seeing Jiang Qiao take out a needle and prick the pregnant woman, the nurse became even more nervous. "Don't do that! What if something goes wrong?"
To be honest, the nurse was already quite polite. She had never seen such a young midwife before, let alone such a beautiful young woman. Judging from her appearance, she didn't seem like someone who could deliver babies. She didn't want Jiang Qiao to continue going through all that trouble.
Jiang Qiao glared at the nurse and said, "Don't make a sound. You'll have to lend me a hand later—"
After all this trouble, the problem of the baby's umbilical cord being wrapped around its neck has been alleviated quite a bit. What Jiang Qiao needs to do now is to speed things up and dilate Zheng Junhua's cervix as soon as possible.
Sure enough, after Jiang Qiao finished acupuncture, Zheng Junhua's voice rang out again, each time louder than the last.
"Sister Zheng, remember, don't shout too loudly. I'll try my best to get the children out quickly. Don't worry, not one will be missing. I guarantee that all your children will be brought into this world smoothly."
Zheng Junhua nodded vigorously to Jiang Qiao, then opened her mouth and took the thing Jiang Qiao handed her. It was very bitter. She wasn't completely clueless; she knew that what she was holding in her mouth was most likely a slice of old ginseng.
