Chapter 40 Premature Birth

Li Chunfang was delighted when he saw this and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely pick out fresh big fish for you."

If Liu Yinyin only bought three or two fish, she would definitely feel embarrassed to accept the eggs. She just did it as a favor.

But she wanted to buy a fish for twenty dollars. It was not impossible for Li Chunfang to do it, but it would take some effort.

If Liu Yinyin is not worldly-wise and doesn't show any expression, then she will definitely not do such a futile thing next time.

Having resolved one more issue, Liu Yinyin finally felt relieved. From now on, she could focus all her attention on her children.

It is now the end of October. Liu Yinyin crossed her fingers and found that the baby in her belly is almost nine months old.

According to what Yang Guizhi said, the first child is usually born some time in advance, which means...the baby in her belly will be born soon.

Liu Yinyin was quite nervous. She had already prepared all the baby supplies at home and was just waiting for the baby in her belly to be born.

What you think about during the day you will dream about at night. Perhaps because her emotions were a little volatile, Liu Yinyin did not sleep well that night.

Faintly, I seemed to hear a miserable cry.

Liu Yinyin suddenly opened her eyes.

Gu Cheng was also awakened, he got up, lit the kerosene lamp, and put on his clothes...

"What's wrong? It sounds like someone is screaming." Liu Yinyin raised her ears and listened carefully. The screaming sounded not far from here. It was a female voice. The screaming came in waves, breaking the tranquility of the village.

"Don't move, I'll go out and take a look."

Fearing that something might happen in the village, Gu Cheng put on his clothes, picked up the flashlight from Liu Yinyin's pillow, and went out.

The flashlight was brought back by Gu Cheng from the army and is now given to Liu Yinyin. She has frequent urination due to pregnancy and has to get up to go to the toilet two or three times at night, so using a flashlight is more convenient.

Liu Yinyin was lying in bed, unable to sleep. In fact, she had a vague guess in her mind that this... sounded a bit like Yang Guizhi's voice.

A pregnant woman making such miserable noises in the middle of the night, I'm afraid it's...

Liu Yinyin felt a little uneasy and really hoped that she was overthinking it.

Gu Cheng came back not long after, sighed, and told her: "It's the daughter-in-law of the neighboring family who is giving birth."

Just as she guessed...

Liu Yinyin was surprised: "She seems to be about the same month as me, how come she is going to give birth so soon?"

Gu Cheng's face was not too good either: "I don't know, it's a mess over there now. I heard someone say that she fell and had a premature birth."

Liu Yinyin frowned and said, "Should we send him to the hospital?"

How dangerous it is to give birth to a child like this.

With a pregnant wife at home, Gu Cheng was also quite afraid of this kind of thing: "Have a midwife hired."

It was dangerous but there was nothing we could do. The people there were unwilling to send her to the hospital and no one else could do anything about it.

Maybe because they were both pregnant, Liu Yinyin always felt a little uneasy, so she threw off the quilt and wanted to get up: "Gu Cheng, I want to go and take a look."

Gu Cheng helped her up and wanted to say that it was useless for her to go, but when he saw her bulging belly, he swallowed the words back.

I had to use a flashlight to help her out the door.

Liu Ergou's house was indeed a mess. People nearby couldn't sleep because of the noise, so they all ran over to see what was going on.

The door of Liu Er's house was not closed, so Liu Yinyin walked straight in.

"Mom, the midwife said Guizhi couldn't give birth to the baby and had to be sent to the hospital..."

As soon as she entered the door, Liu Yinyin saw Liu Ergou kneeling on the ground, begging his mother Xin Xiujuan to send Yang Guizhi to the hospital.

Xin Xiujuan said with a stern face: "Why send her to a hospital? Have you ever seen a woman in the village go to a hospital to give birth? You know what kind of family I am from! I don't have any money."

Xin Xiujuan is the head of the family. It would definitely cost a lot of money to give birth in the hospital, but she is not willing to pay.

Liu Ergou was penniless, and the grown man was so anxious that he almost cried: "Mom, if Guizhi can't give birth to a child, both the adults and the child will die."

"Oh, Ergou's mother, human life is at stake, you should quickly take some money and send your daughter-in-law to the hospital."

Some people couldn't bear to see this and said something to persuade him.

"Yes, after all, he is your grandson..."

"Bah." Xin Xiujuan spat on the ground, "What grandson? She's carrying a loser in her belly!"

Xin Xiujuan became angrier the more she thought about her daughter-in-law giving birth to two girls in a row.

She simply lay on the ground, cursing, "Oh my god, why is my life so hard? I'm just a little girl in a family, I feel so sorry for my ancestors..."

There were cries and curses all over the room, it was absolutely chaotic.

"Xiujuan, stop scolding. You can't delay your daughter-in-law any longer." An aunt advised.

Xin Xiujuan immediately yelled at her: "It's no use. What can I do? It's not me who caused her to have a difficult birth. I really have no money. You are so kind, why don't you pay for her to go to the hospital?"

The auntie was choked by what she said, and dared not speak again. What was she thinking? She was not her daughter-in-law, so how could she possibly pay for it?

Liu Yinyin felt sympathetic, glanced at Gu Cheng, and asked, "How about... we lend him some money?"

After all, these are two lives, we can't just sit there and do nothing.

Gu Cheng had no objection, but the two of them came out in a hurry and had no money on them.

Going back to get it would take too much time, so Gu Cheng borrowed ten yuan from someone he knew nearby.

He gave the money to Liu Ergou and said, "Send the man to the hospital first. I will go to the county town tomorrow morning and send some more money to the hospital then."

Liu Ergou also recognized Gu Cheng. Seeing that Gu Cheng was willing to lend him money, he was immediately overwhelmed with joy and said gratefully, "Thank you..."

Gu Cheng: "Go quickly, don't delay."

Liu Ergou is the only son in the family and has no other brothers to help him.

People in the village may not necessarily lend money, but most are willing to contribute.

Someone immediately pulled a cart and helped Liu Ergou take the person to the hospital.

Seeing that the man had really gone to the hospital, Xin Xiujuan showed no joy on her face. She glanced at Gu Cheng, then glared at Liu Yinyin and said, "Let me make it clear to you, you have money to lend, but I don't have money to pay back."

Said with full confidence.

Liu Yinyin even suspected that she had been planning this for a long time and wanted to cheat others of their money.

She hadn't originally thought of asking for repayment so soon, but Xin Xiujuan had already asked.

Liu Yinyin is not a saint, so she won't get used to her: "It is only natural to pay back debts. You haven't split up the family, right? Whoever is the housekeeper should pay back the debt."

Xin Xiujuan would not divide the family for a little money. She said with droopy eyelids: "I have already told you that there is really no money at home. I can't give it to you even if you want it!"

Anyway, she insisted that she had no money and acted like she was going to be a lazy bum.

Liu Yinyin looked around and said, "Your house looks pretty good..."
