"Sister-in-law, don't worry, I'll keep a close eye on things," Gu Yanliu said softly.
Soon, a heart-wrenching scream came from the delivery room.
Gu Yanbai clenched his fist even tighter.
He subconsciously touched his pocket, but quickly remembered that he hadn't smoked in a long time.
He silently lowered his hand, but his eyes remained fixed on the door of the operating room.
Gu Yanliu was just as nervous, extremely so.
Unlike them, the elderly woman in the next bed didn't seem to be in a hurry at all.
He leisurely found a well-ventilated spot and sat down.
Leaning against a pillar in the hospital, she looked completely at ease; anyone who didn't know better would have thought she was there for a vacation.
I sat alone for a while, and I started to feel a bit bored.
She smacked her lips twice, as if she wanted to talk to someone.
She didn't dare to chat with Gu Yanbai; the young man seemed a bit fierce.
Judging from Gu Yanliu's delicate and pretty appearance, she should be a kind person.
So she said to her, "Girl, why don't you come and sit here for a while? Standing all the time, how can you stand it?"
Gu Yanliu's lips twitched. This person was really calm. "No, ma'am, you should... sit down yourself!"
Come on!
I have experience with this. Since this is your partner's first pregnancy, it won't happen that quickly. There's no use worrying about it.
"Listen to me, come sit down, let's wait together." She said, patting the seat next to her.
When Gu Yanliu heard her say that, he subconsciously moved further away from her.
This person doesn't look like a good person at all. Her daughter-in-law is giving birth inside, but she acts like it's none of her business.
Seeing that the other person ignored her, the old woman pouted unhappily.
That's making a mountain out of a molehill. It's nothing, just having a baby. Look at how serious they are about it.
However, she didn't dare say these words aloud, and only muttered them to herself.
Time passed by, and most of the day had gone by, but there was still no movement in the delivery room.
The old woman remained calm. Her daughter-in-law was already pregnant with her second child, so what could possibly happen?
Even if something happens, it will only happen to those who are having their first child.
She glanced at Gu Yanbai with ill intent. Just by looking at his wife's delicate appearance, she knew that the delivery wouldn't be smooth sailing.
How can she compare to her daughter-in-law? Just by looking at that big butt, you can tell she's a woman who can bear children easily.
Soon, the operating room door opened.
The nurse, holding a notebook, shouted loudly down the corridor, "Where are the family members? Wu Xiaohong's family members need to sign."
Gu Yanbai and his sister felt a pang of anxiety and quickly went to greet him, "What's wrong?"
The nurse said loudly, "The baby is breech and can't be delivered naturally. We'll probably have to do a C-section. Quick, family members, sign the consent form."
The old woman didn't react for a moment, and continued to lean leisurely against the pillar, enjoying the cool summer breeze.
The nurse looked at them and asked, "Which one of you is Wu Xiaohong's family member? Come and sign the papers."
The two of them looked in the direction of the old woman.
"Are you a relative of Wu Xiaohong?" the nurse called out to the old woman.
"Yes! What's wrong? My daughter-in-law gave birth? Did she have a boy?" The old woman hurriedly stood up from the ground, looking at the nurse with an expectant expression.
She said it was nothing serious at all; it was just that her spendthrift daughter-in-law insisted on coming to the hospital to give birth.
Isn't this a waste of money?
"Wu Xiaohong is having a difficult labor and needs an immediate cesarean section. Come over and sign the papers quickly." The nurse looked at her with a serious expression.
"How is that possible?"
My daughter-in-law is pregnant with her second child, how could she have a difficult childbirth?
"Is your hospital trying to make more money and trying to fool us ordinary folks?" The old woman looked at her suspiciously.
"I'm telling you, old lady, do you even have any sense of reason?"
Sign it quickly.
"If we delay any longer, your daughter-in-law and child will be in danger." The nurse handed her a booklet and gestured for her to sign it.
The old woman looked resistant and subconsciously took a step back. "I won't sign. You're just trying to scam me out of money."
She's already pregnant with her second child, what could possibly happen to her?
My son works hard to earn money; how can I let her waste it like this?
"Hey, you old lady. Let me tell you, if you don't sign, your daughter-in-law and child will be in danger."
The nurse was getting anxious because she couldn't explain it to anyone and it had taken so long.
Gu Yanliu couldn't bear to watch any longer. "Grandma, just sign it. Your daughter-in-law's life is more important."
Money spent can be earned back; what's more important than life?
"You guys are really talking without thinking. It's not like it's your family's money that's being spent," the old lady retorted without even thinking.
The nurses were frantic; how could this old lady be so unreasonable!
Just then, a middle-aged man walked in and asked, "Mom, what's wrong? How long has Xiaohong been inside?"
"No..." The old woman was about to say that nothing was wrong.
The nurse's eyes lit up, and she explained the situation in a few words. She quickly handed him a pen and paper, indicating that he should sign.
The man was shocked and picked up a pen to sign.
The old woman grabbed his wrist. "Son, let me tell you, they just want us to spend more money."
It's just having children. I've had four children, and nothing's happened to me!
I have experience with this. Listen to your mother, we can't sign this document.
Upon hearing this, the man hesitated, unable to put pen to paper.
The nurse said urgently, "Hurry up! Time waits for no one, your wife can't afford to be delayed."
Gu Yanbai looked down on him from the bottom of his heart, "Are you even a man?"
If you delay any longer, your wife will die.
"Just for that little bit of money, you risked your wife's life. How can you live the rest of your life in peace?"
"Hurry up," the nurse urged again.
Without further hesitation, the man signed his name on it in a few quick strokes.
The nurse then asked, "By the way, are you saving the mother or... the baby?"
"This, this is serious?" The man's body went limp and he almost fell, but he quickly said, "We, we... save the baby."
The old woman finally realized the seriousness of the problem and dared not speak carelessly anymore.
The nurse was about to leave.
Gu Yanbai quickly said, "If my wife is in danger, you don't need to come out and ask. Saving her is the priority. We... will save the baby."
The nurse gave a slight smile. "Your wife is fine. This is her first child, so the delivery is just taking longer. Just wait patiently!"
About an hour later, the operating room door opened again.
Gu Yanbai and his sister hurriedly went to greet them. This time, it was Su Nianxue and the child who came out.
Seeing that they had come out of the delivery room safely, Gu Yanbai and his sister both breathed a sigh of relief.
When Su Nianxue woke up, it was already night. "Where's the baby? Bring him here so I can see him."
Gu Yanliu quickly handed the child to her, "Sister-in-law, look, it's a girl, and she's so beautiful!"
"Girl?" Su Nianxue looked at the baby in the swaddling clothes and burst into tears.
