Chapter 95: Mrs. Du's delivery
Mrs. Du's delivery date is very close. This time, Mrs. Ji said she would never let Mrs. Du go to the hospital to give birth.
"Why spend that money? Why not invite your Aunt Hua instead?"
Aunt Hua is a famous midwife in the surrounding villages.
Mrs. Du herself did not take it seriously: "I am not that hypocritical. Aunt Hua delivered Erya and Sanya. I feel relieved when Aunt Hua comes."
What else could Shen Ruoqing say? Just leave it like that.
Old Mrs. Ji had told Mrs. Du to stop working and take a rest two days ago, but Mrs. Du refused to listen and insisted on working, saying, "My mother was still working in the fields when she gave birth to me. This is no big deal."
Old Mrs. Ji let her do what she wanted, but she only let her do some chores like cooking and didn't really let her go to the fields.
On this day, Mrs. Du had just gotten up and took two steps when she accidentally slipped and hit her stomach on the corner of the table. She felt something was wrong at the time and began to have continuous contractions in her lower abdomen. Having had experience before, she knew that she was about to give birth.
"Erya's father, call mom quickly, I'm about to give birth!"
This sound woke up Shen Xiangxi who was still asleep. He quickly got up and put on his shoes: "Hurry up and sit still. I'll go call mom and the midwife!"
When Shen Xiangxi called out, the whole family got up. Shen Hansong ran fast and went to find the midwife. At this time, Old Lady Ji was like a magic needle that stabilized the sea, and she ordered her two daughters-in-law to boil water and other matters in an orderly manner.
Shen Xiangxi was talking to Mrs. Du and comforting her. Mrs. Du started to panic at this time, and she covered her stomach and hoped that Aunt Hua would come quickly.
Aunt Hua finally arrived.
Shen Ruoqing wanted to go in to help, but Old Lady Ji stopped her and said, "The delivery room is very bloody, don't go in. Your two aunts can help you."
"Mom, have you forgotten that I know medical skills?"
"That's not where you should go, dear. Be obedient. Your Aunt Hua has delivered countless babies. Are you better than Aunt Hua?" Old Mrs. Ji was determined not to let her dear boy enter the delivery room.
Shen Ruoqing couldn't persuade Old Lady Ji, so she had to accompany her outside the door.
After waiting for a long time, there was no sound from inside.
"Hongying, your third daughter-in-law's fetal position is not right. I'm afraid she will have a difficult delivery. You should send her to the county hospital as soon as possible." Aunt Hua came out and shook her head.
"Why is it a difficult delivery? Come on, third brother, go to the brigade to borrow a tractor and send your wife to the county hospital as soon as possible!" Old Mrs. Ji now regretted not sending Mrs. Du to the hospital to give birth at the beginning.
Shen Ruoqing wanted to go and see, but she was afraid that she would delay Du's medical treatment. Besides, no one could take care of her now. Even if she dared to see Du, her family would not trust her to see the doctor.
There was a period of chaos and disorder.
Shen Xiangxi borrowed a tractor, and Mrs. Ji and Mrs. Han took Mrs. Du to the hospital. Shen Ruoqing only had time to ask the eldest sister-in-law to give the third sister-in-law more water.
Wang was still worried at home: "I was smart. When I gave birth to Hanxi, I insisted on going to the hospital. It's not as safe as going to the hospital to see a midwife!"
It was only after Aunt Hua passed away that Wang dared to say this. But what Wang said was also true. Giving birth in a hospital is definitely the safest way, but nowadays, most rural people still want to give birth at home.
It was already afternoon when the news from Mrs. Du came back.
When Old Lady Ji came back, her face looked very bad. Wang came forward and asked, "Mom, how is my third sister-in-law? Is the baby born? Is it a boy or a girl?"
"You are the only one who is troublesome! Have you fed the pigs at home?" Old Mrs. Ji caught Wang and started scolding her.
"What a disaster! Oh my God, what has our Shen family done to anyone?" Old Lady Ji cursed as she entered the house. Shen Ruoqing followed her in.
"Mom, what's going on? How is my third sister-in-law?" Shen Ruoqing had a guess. The doctor had not recommended that Mrs. Du keep this baby, saying that the probability of a deformed baby was very high. Judging from Mrs. Ji's reaction, the outcome would probably not be very good.
"Your third sister-in-law gave birth to a daughter! But she was injured in the difficult labor and I'm afraid she won't be able to have another child in the future." Old Lady Ji continued, "She was the one who insisted on having this child, and she strangled the child after giving birth! If it weren't for your eldest sister-in-law, your little niece would have died! Even if she's ugly, she's still her own flesh and blood!"
Old Mrs. Ji kept talking to Shen Ruoqing about everything that happened in the hospital.
Mrs. Du had a difficult labor, but she was determined to give birth to the child. She thought it was a son, and she would accept it even if it was a little deformed. But she didn't expect that the baby she gave birth to after hurting her body was a deformed girl.
The moment she saw that it was a baby girl, Du collapsed, yelled and told the child to die, and even took the opportunity to ask to hold the child when everyone was off guard, and ended up trying to strangle the child to death. If Han hadn't snatched the child back, the child would have died.
Mrs. Du said that this child should not have been born. It was a ghost, a monster. It was this child who killed her son. She wanted this little monster to pay with his life.

According to Mrs. Ji's description, the child's limbs were normal, except that his face was a little ugly and his left ear had no outline. It might be difficult for him to get married in the future, but he could not be called a monster.
Because of her emotional fluctuations, Mrs. Du was given an injection of sedative and fell asleep. Shen Xiangxi is also very uncomfortable now. His wife cannot accept the child, but it was obviously Du Juan who wanted to give birth to this child!
Shen Ruoqing didn't know what to say. Why was Mrs. Du so obsessed with her son? She had taken medicine recklessly, causing her child to be deformed. Now that she found out it was her daughter, she wanted to strangle her child to death. Even a tiger wouldn't eat its own cubs. She couldn't help but feel sympathy for her newborn niece.
Old Lady Ji also didn't like the newborn granddaughter, but there was nothing she could do. If it was just an embryo, she would have aborted it, but the child had already been born and was already an independent little person. Even if she had only one ear and didn't look pretty, she was still her little granddaughter, Ji Hongying. She would never tolerate Mrs. Du harming her little granddaughter.
"Mom, will the third sister-in-law still feed her little niece in this state?"
"I'm worried about this, too. Your sister-in-law wants to kill that little girl, so how can she feed her? Darling, do you have any milk powder? I'll bring some to your niece first."
"I have more. I'll give it to you now." Shen Ruoqing returned to her room and bought two cans of baby formula powder in the system mall.
Old Mrs. Ji went to the hospital again.
In the hospital, Du Juan looked hatefully at the baby not far away.
If it weren't for this little thing, how could she not be able to give birth? The master had said at the beginning that this baby would definitely be a son, so how come it turned out to be a daughter?
"You don't have to say anything. I won't feed that little monster a single sip of milk." This little monster almost took her life and took away her son. How could she still feed her? "Juan'er, this is our own flesh and blood after all. Since you said you would give birth to her, then we should be responsible for her." Shen Xiangxi said.
