Chapter 22 Going to the Hospital

"Shen Xiangnan, I don't care. I must go to the hospital to give birth this time."

At night, Wang and Shen Xiangnan whispered to each other.

"Weren't both of our sons delivered at home? Why do we have to go to the hospital this time?" Shen Xiangnan was puzzled. "Besides, going to the hospital is so expensive."

"You are such a good person, Shen Xiangnan. I worked so hard to give birth to a son for you and take care of the family, but you are reluctant to even give me the money to go to the hospital! I don't care, I want to go to the hospital for a caesarean section!"

Wang was about to give birth. "Let me tell you, babies born by caesarean section are much smarter than those born naturally. And we're going to have a cesarean section tomorrow!"

"Okay, okay, I'll talk to mom tomorrow."

Shen Xiangnan couldn't stand Wang's fuss and agreed.

The next morning, Shen Xiangnan proposed to Old Lady Ji that he take Wang to the hospital to give birth.

"Is this your idea or your wife's?" Old Lady Ji stared at Shen Xiangnan with her sharp eyes. "Most wives in the village ask Granny Feng to deliver their babies. Only your wife is so delicate that she has to go to a big hospital in the county?"

"Mom, isn't it the new era that advocates giving birth in the hospital? The wife of our production team leader gave birth in the hospital, and her baby was plump and fair."

Old Mrs. Ji still didn't want to spend the money on going to the hospital.

Shen Ruoqing heard it and walked away.

"Mom, it's unhygienic to deliver a baby at home. I think we should send my second sister-in-law to the hospital."

It is unsafe to deliver a baby at home. Because the environment at home is complicated and has not been well disinfected, giving birth at home may cause infection, sepsis, tetanus and other diseases to the baby, which is not good for the baby.

Although Shen Ruoqing didn't like Wang, she was her sister-in-law after all, and the baby in Wang's belly was her nephew or niece. If she could give birth in a hospital, she would still go to the hospital.

"Isn't this how everyone does it? How is it unhygienic? When I gave birth to you five, I hired a midwife!"

"Mom, I learned in the health class at school that it is very dangerous for a woman to give birth. If you are not careful, one person will die and two people will die. I am not saying that Grandma Feng's delivery skills are bad, but since we have the conditions, we should send Sister-in-law to the hospital for delivery. Who won't praise you as a good grandma when the time comes?"

"Okay, okay, tell your wife to pack up now and let's go to the county town."

"That's great, Mom. You're such a good mother-in-law!" Shen Xiangnan was happy. Now he could report to his wife.

"According to what you said, if I don't agree, I will be a bad mother-in-law?"

Shen Xiangnan didn't dare to respond and hurried back to tell Wang the news.

"Agree?" Wang asked.

"Yes! Mom didn't agree at first, but after my younger sister persuaded her for a while, Mom agreed. Wife, you have to be nicer to my younger sister in the future."

"How could she be so kind!" Wang didn't expect that it was her sister-in-law who helped. "But I'll remember this favor!"

Since they had decided to go to the hospital to give birth, Wang immediately packed two sets of her own clothes, and Shen Xiangnan went to the production team to borrow a bullock cart. Old Lady Ji took Shen Ruoqing with her, and the four of them set off.

"Second sister-in-law, why did you suddenly think of going to the hospital to give birth?" Shen Ruoqing actually had this idea a long time ago, but she was just a sister-in-law, so it was not easy for her to bring it up.

"Everyone says it's safe to go to a big hospital," Wang hesitated.

When she arrived at the county hospital, thanks to Shen Ruoqing's support, Wang had been able to replenish her nutrition, her complexion had improved, and her belly had grown bigger. The doctor knew she was about to give birth when he saw her like this, and quickly arranged a ward for her.

"Doctor, how is my daughter-in-law's health?" Old Mrs. Ji was still concerned about the baby in Wang's belly.

"Very well, everything is fine. The due date is estimated to be in the next few days. We will arrange everything by then."

"Doctor, I want to give birth tomorrow at noon." Wang shouted.

"How can you give birth to a child just because you want to?" The doctor frowned.

"Doctor, I've asked around. I want a caesarean section!"

"Generally speaking, if there are no pregnancy complications, we recommend natural birth. And natural birth is better for the mother's recovery." This was the first time the doctor encountered a caesarean section without any problems.

"No, doctor, I must have a caesarean section tomorrow at noon!"

"Nonsense, didn't you hear what the doctor said? Doctor, ignore her, let's go out and talk." Old Mrs. Ji smiled and asked the doctor to leave.

The ward was a triple room, but only two people were living in it. The other pregnant woman had disappeared, so only Shen Xiangnan and his wife were left in the room. Shen Ruoqing had gone to the bathroom.

"Wife, the doctor said that natural birth is better, why do you insist on a caesarean section?"

Wang rolled her eyes at Shen Xiangnan, "What do you know? My mother has specially asked someone to calculate it. Tomorrow's noon is a rare auspicious day. A child born at this time will definitely be rich and powerful. My child must be born at noon tomorrow!"

"Isn't that feudal superstition?"

"What feudal superstition? My mother specially asked a famous master to calculate whether I can become rich and powerful with my child. This depends on this! Do you still want to enjoy the blessing of having a child in the future?"

"No, I just want to ask, is this reliable?"

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"It's definitely reliable, I tell you..."

The soundproofing of the hospital bathroom was not good, and Shen Ruoqing heard all the conversations between the couple. Shen Ruoqing was speechless. She had thought that Wang's safety and hygiene awareness was quite good, but she didn't expect it to be because of this reason.

Old Mrs. Ji is back.

"Mom, just let us have a caesarean section."

"No, the doctor recommends a natural birth. Don't mess around with me." Old Mrs. Ji said, "If you want to give birth in the hospital, that's fine. Second son, you stay here and take care of your wife. Guaibao and I will go to Fourth son's house."

Shen Ruoqing didn't tell Old Lady Ji what happened just now. If Old Lady Ji knew, she would definitely be angry.

When they arrived at the building where Shen Xiangbei lived, it was Su's father who opened the door this time.

"My mother-in-law is here. Jieru, quickly pour a glass of water for your mother-in-law."

Su Jieru responded reluctantly.

"What about north?"

"He went out to the north and will be back soon."

"No need to wait. I came here just to tell Xiangbei that his second sister-in-law has gone to the county hospital to give birth. There's nothing else to tell you."

"Then stay for dinner."

"No need. I have something to do at home. I have to go back quickly." Shen Xiangbei was not there, and Old Lady Ji had no intention of staying for dinner. She told him and left.

"Mom, let's go to the state-owned restaurant for dinner. It's my treat!"

"How much money do you have left in your pocket? Do you still want to eat at the state-owned restaurant? Forget it, let mom treat you."

"Hehe, I know mom is the best."

Shen Ruoqing and Old Lady Ji entered the state-owned restaurant and saw an acquaintance.
