Having a baby
Su Yunwei took a deep breath and pushed open the door. A strong smell of blood hit her nose. The midwife was helpless, and the woman on the bed, who was sweating profusely, was gradually losing her breath.
"I'll take over here now. You go out and prepare hot water for us." Su Yunwei said to the panicked midwife while opening the medicine box in her hand.
The midwife felt as if she had been pardoned. She quickly opened the door and slipped out.
Su Yunwei walked to the bedside and saw Xie Yunnong's condition clearly. She reached out and felt her pulse, which was extremely weak and fast. The situation was worse than she had imagined.
Seeing this, Su Yunwei no longer hesitated and began to perform a modern caesarean section on Xie Yunnong according to her memory.
She picked up the sterilized scissors, her eyes calm, and took a deep breath.
Come on, Su Yunwei, you can do it. She looked at the woman on the bed looking up at her, and silently encouraged her.
Su Yunwei put aside all distractions and focused her whole body on the smooth belly in front of her. She was surprised that she didn't have any stretch marks.
·····
Time passed minute by minute. Ever since Su Yunwei went in, the yard outside became silent, with only the occasional sound of metal colliding in the delivery room.
Xie Yunqing was getting really impatient, like an ant on a hot pan. He tried to rush in several times, but was stopped by Fu Changan's quick eyes and hands.
"Believe her." Fu Changan only said these three words, but his eyes were always fixed on the door. The hands hanging by his side clenched unconsciously. He was no less nervous than Xie Yunqing.
But Xie Yunnong's husband, Wang Mian, was still leaning against the wall in a daze, with his head down, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Just when Xie Yunqing and others were about to collapse.
"Wow!!" An extremely clear baby cry suddenly came from the delivery room.
This cry was like a ray of sunshine, illuminating the darkness of everyone outside the door.
"It's born! It's born!" Xie Yunqing was so ecstatic that his legs went weak and he almost fell to the ground. He tightly grasped Fu Changan's arm and spoke incoherently: "Did you hear that? Hengzhi, the baby! The baby is crying! I'm going to be an uncle!"
Fu Changan also breathed a sigh of relief, and a hint of relief flashed in his eyes when he saw his friend crying with joy.
Mrs. Wang in the corner suddenly raised her head, a look of disbelief on her face, and subconsciously wanted to move towards the door: "Child...my grandson..."
Fu Changan, however, had already stood in front of her, his eyes cold: "No one is allowed to enter."
At this moment, the door of the delivery room opened a crack from the inside, and Fu Mingyue leaned out, her forehead hair soaked with sweat.
Xie Yunqing saw Fu Mingyue coming out and asked anxiously: "Mingyue, Mingyue, how is my sister? How is the child?"
Fu Mingyue said quickly, "The child is safe, but a little weak. Weiwei said that he was suffocated in the mother's body for a long time." After that, she glanced at the anxious Xie Yunqing, paused, and began to speak in a heavy tone, "Sister Yunnong's condition is not good. After the child was taken out, she started bleeding heavily."
Heavy bleeding! These words were like a bolt from the blue. Xie Yunqing's gaze seemed to see his dying sister through the gap. He pleaded desperately: "Doctor Su must have a way, right? She must be able to save my sister, right?"
"We will definitely try our best." After Fu Mingyue finished speaking, she quickly retreated into the room and closed the door again.
Wang Mian was so frightened when he heard the news that he lost all strength and fell to the ground, staring blankly at the sky.
In the delivery room, Xie Yunnong continued to bleed. Su Yunwei could only force herself to stay calm. She quickly filled the uterine cavity with clean white cloth to compress and stop the bleeding, and closely observed her condition.
Perhaps it was working; the bleeding seemed to have slowed, but Xie Yunnong's pulse was still too weak to detect, and her face was a translucent pale white. Su Yunwei knew that simply stopping the bleeding wouldn't be enough. She quickly opened the medicine bag Fu Mingyue had prepared, found a slice of ginseng, and carefully placed it under Xie Yunnong's tongue to hold him together. Then, she quickly sutured the wound. The sweat Fu Mingyue had just wiped from her forehead had returned in a flash.
After doing all this, she was drenched in sweat and almost exhausted.
The fetus that was taken out was also wrapped by Ming Zhao in a boiled and cooled white cloth and placed next to Xie Yunnong.
After an unknown amount of time, Xie Yunnong's pulse finally seemed to have picked up a little bit. Although it was still weak, it was much clearer than before. Moreover, after pressing on his abdomen, no new bleeding was found.
Success! At least, the most dangerous bleeding stage has been overcome for the time being!
Su Yunwei let out a long breath, sorted out his emotions, checked Xie Yunnong and the child again, asked Ming Zhao and Fu Mingyue to watch over them, and he dragged his heavy steps towards the door.
squeak.
The door was opened from the inside, and in an instant, everyone's eyes were focused on her.
Xie Yunqing suddenly jumped up from the ground and rushed to Su Yunwei, his lips trembling, but he didn't dare to ask.
Fu Changan also stepped forward quickly and supported the staggering Su Yunwei, with a questioning look in his eyes.
Su Yunwei looked at Xie Yunqing, forcing a smile onto her tired face. "Your sister's bleeding has stopped temporarily, her pulse has stabilized, and the child is still alive. Mother and child... are safe for now."
That's enough!
That's enough!
Xie Yunqing murmured the word "safe and sound" as if he didn't understand. He was stunned for a moment, then suddenly turned around, his shoulders shaking violently, and he sobbed suppressedly.
Fu Changan held Su Yunwei's hand tightly, and a genuine smile appeared in his eyes.
When Mrs. Wang heard that mother and child were safe, especially the word "son", her face instantly lit up with a different brilliance, and she wanted to rush into the delivery room: "My eldest grandson! Let me see it quickly!"
"Stop!" Although Su Yunwei was exhausted, her tone was still firm: "The mother needs absolute rest now. No one can go in and disturb her! The child is also extremely weak and can't stand the slightest cold or disturbance!"
When Mrs. Wang heard the words "the child is weak", she froze where she was.
Su Yunwei glanced at Xie Yunqing, who was still sobbing, and said seriously, "Although your sister is temporarily out of danger, the next twelve hours are the most important. You must do as I say."
After Su Yunwei told Xie Yunqing some precautions, she glanced at Fu Changan and walked straight into the delivery room.
Xie Yunqing wiped his face and quickly regained his composure. He began to give orders in an orderly manner, and he didn't even glance at Wang Mian and his mother.
This place... has become Xie Yunqing's territory.
For the next few days, the Wang family compound was guarded like an iron barrel by the people Xie Yunqing brought with him. Su Yunwei stayed by Xie Yunnong's bedside almost non-stop, closely monitoring her temperature, pulse, and bleeding, and carefully preparing for possible infections and complications.
And under the careful care, the skinny little baby's face became rosier day by day, and his crying became louder.
Xie Yunnong finally regained consciousness on the morning of the third day. She opened her eyes to see her brother Xie Yunqing's bloodshot yet delighted eyes, and Su Yun's slightly tired yet relieved smile. The excruciating pain and weakness in her body reminded her of what she had been through, and the tiny, squirming bundle beside her pillow brought tears to her eyes.
Xie Yunqing held her hand tightly, choked with sobs, and told her the whole story, especially the decision to "save the younger one and abandon the older one" outside the delivery room, without reservation.
Xie Yunnong listened quietly, without crying loudly, but her tears flowed silently, soaking the pillow.
She suddenly remembered how she had resisted family pressure and was determined to marry the seemingly gentle Wang Mian. Now it seemed like a huge joke.
During this period, Wang Mian, at the instigation of Wang Po, tried to come in to visit several times, but was always stopped outside by Xie Yunqing with a cold face. It was not until Xie Yunnong's health improved a little and she was able to speak with some effort that she let Wang Mian in for a while.
As soon as Wang Mian entered the room, he threw himself down in front of the bed, bursting into tears: "Yunnong! Yunnong, you're awake! That's great! I'm sorry! I'm the bastard! I'm sorry for you! I was so scared at the time and listened to my mother's words... Please forgive me, we will live a good life in the future and watch our child grow up..."
Xie Yunnong looked at him, her eyes eerily calm, without hatred or love, as if she were looking at a stranger. She spoke weakly and decisively, "Wang Mian, from the moment you acquiesced to your mother's choice to 'keep the child,' everything between us was severed. I don't hate you, but I won't forgive you either."
Wang Mian was struck by lightning and wanted to beg again, but Xie Yunqing grabbed him and threw him out the door. "Didn't you hear what my sister said? Get out!"
After resting for more than half a month, Xie Yunnong was finally able to walk thanks to Su Yunwei's conditioning and the careful care of his family.
During this time, Xie's parents finally learned the news. Mrs. Xie hugged her daughter and burst into tears. Mr. Xie was so angry that he wanted to go to Wang's house and smash the broken yard on the spot, but was persuaded by Xie Yunqing. Seeing their daughter escape death, the two elders were heartbroken. The family's reputation was not as important as their daughter's life!
On a beautiful day, the Xie Mansion sent a luxurious carriage and numerous servants. Xie Yunnong, holding her tightly wrapped child, took one last look at the humble courtyard she had once believed would bring her happiness, and at the cowardly man who hid behind her mother-in-law, not daring to meet her gaze. Her heart was now calm.
With the help of her brother, she resolutely boarded the carriage, left the Wang family without looking back, and returned to the home that truly belonged to her and could give her shelter and warmth.
After returning to the Xie Mansion, Xie Yunnong received the best care. Although the child was weak, he grew well with adequate nutrition and care.
The Xie family cherished the child like a treasure, but never mentioned the Wang family. After this ordeal, Xie Yunnong's temperament became calmer, and she focused all her attention on raising the child and recuperating. She kept silent about the past, as if she had truly let it go.
