"Now adjust your breathing. Just follow me and breathe in."
"Exhale."
Su Ruoli helped the pregnant woman take several deep breaths before her breathing became normal.
Su Ruoli pressed the pregnant woman's belly with her hand and found that the fetus was in a normal position.
Su Ruoli helped push down on the belly, and the pregnant woman was also very cooperative, so the delivery went much more smoothly.
"Wow——" With a loud cry, the baby was born safely.
Su Ruoli skillfully cut the umbilical cord, wrapped the baby, and carried it to the mother.
"It's a girl, congratulations!" The woman looked at the child with a happy smile on her face, then turned around and fainted.
Su Ruoli took the patient's pulse and found that there was nothing serious, so she felt relieved.
Su Ruoli handed the child to Li Yun and continued to clean the lower body of the woman in labor.
The family of the pregnant woman was waiting anxiously outside, and an old woman was muttering something.
When the old woman heard the baby crying, she wanted to push through the crowd to pick up the child, but she was blocked tightly and could not get in. She could only curse outside.
Su Ruoli frowned as she listened. Could this be the child's grandmother? She didn't sound like someone who was easy to get along with.
After Su Ruoli cleaned up, she took two sheets from the people who surrounded her and wrapped the woman in labor like a mermaid.
"Okay, let them go now and take the people back." Su Ruoli stood up and said.
As soon as the crowd dispersed, the old woman rushed in, "Where's my eldest grandson? Hug him quickly."
Behind him was a man in military uniform. He ran over and asked Su Ruoli worriedly, "How is my wife?"
This man is quite good. He even knows how to care about his wife, unlike that old woman who never mentioned her daughter-in-law from beginning to end.
"She's fine, she just fainted. Just take her back and take good care of her." Su Ruoli said.
"Why did my eldest grandson turn into a dead girl?" A sharp voice sounded from behind Su Ruoli.
"The baby born is a girl!" said Li Yun.
Su Ruoli turned around and saw the wrinkled little girl left aside. The child might have felt cold and was crying loudly.
"The baby has just been born, wrap it up quickly!" Su Ruoli said.
The old woman rolled her eyes at Su Ruoli and said, "A girl, what's so rare about her? Our family has only one son for three generations!"
The man's face darkened after hearing this. "Mom, what are you talking about! Boy or girl, they are all my flesh and blood!"
The old woman wanted to argue, but the man ignored her and walked straight to the little girl, wrapped the child up, and said to Li Yun, "Sister-in-law Li Yun, please help me hold the child."
Li Yun squatted down and picked up the child. "Let's go back first. It's not good to stay here like this."
The man squatted down, picked up his wife and walked out.
Su Ruoli looked at this scene and sighed in her heart that the woman was lucky to have met a sensible husband.
I hope their family will treat this child well in the future.
When the old woman saw her son and the others had gone far away, she rushed over and pulled Su Ruoli's hair, crying, "Give me back my eldest grandson. I clearly asked someone to look after him, why did he become a girl?"
Su Ruoli didn't expect the old woman to do this. She was caught off guard and her hair was grabbed, which hurt her so much.
Su Ruoli raised her hand and pressed down the hand that was causing trouble on her head, saying in a cold voice, "Let go!"
"I won't let you go unless you return my eldest grandson to me." The old woman said shamelessly.
"You're being shameless! It's not up to me to decide whether to have a boy or a girl!" Su Ruoli struggled to break free from the old woman's hand. "If you keep making trouble, I won't be polite!"
People around her accused the old woman of being rude and unreasonable. Seeing this, the old woman simply sat down on the ground and rolled around, crying and wailing.
"What a sin! Our family has been a single-line family for three generations! To think that a little girl would end our family line!"
At this time, a military wife standing nearby could no longer bear to watch, so she stepped forward to help the old woman up and said, "Auntie, please stop making a fuss. A healthy child is more important than anything else."
The old woman stopped crying, glared at Su Ruoli fiercely, and walked away holding the man's arm.
Su Ruoli rubbed her scalp which was pulled in pain and shook her head helplessly. When did a midwife decide the gender of a baby? It was really speechless.
A good day was ruined by a dog bite.
After returning home, Su Ruoli became more and more angry. She would ask sister-in-law Li Yun tomorrow which families the people here today were from. She would stay away from them if she met them again in the future. The idea of favoring boys over girls was too serious.
The next day, Su Ruoli came to Li Yun's house. Li Yun told her that the family's surname was Wang, and the man was called Wang Jianguo, a company commander. His family had only one son for three generations, so his mother had always wanted a boy.
Su Ruoli felt very uncomfortable after hearing this. She felt that this idea of favoring boys over girls was too feudal.
Children are innocent and should be treated equally regardless of gender.
So, Su Ruoli decided to go to Wang's house to talk to Wang Jianguo.
She and Li Yun came to Wang's house carrying things, and happened to meet Wang Jianguo who was about to go out.
Wang Jianguo was very surprised when Su Ruoli explained her purpose.
He said that he did not dislike his daughter, but his mother's ideas were more traditional.
He was also very distressed and didn't know how to change his mother's mind.
A few people were chatting at the door when Wang Jianguo's mother came back from outside. When she saw Su Ruoli, the old woman was like a dog whose tail was stepped on.
He threw down what he was holding and was about to rush over to hit Su Ruoli, "It's all your fault. If it weren't for you, how could my eldest grandson become a little girl?"
Su Ruoli took a step back, and Wang Jianguo went up to stop the old woman, "Mom, are you done yet? You keep making trouble every day."
"Why did I make a fuss? She replaced my eldest grandson with a dead girl. Isn't she a wicked person?" The old woman pointed at Su Ruoli and cursed.
"Auntie, first of all, I only helped with the delivery and could not determine the sex of the baby. Secondly, there were so many people watching, how could I change the baby?
"The national leaders have said that women hold up half the sky. I'm a woman myself, and yet you keep calling me a girl? Do you think what they said is wrong?" Su Ruoli said righteously.
"I...when did I say that the leader was wrong? I just said that you replaced my eldest grandson."
"Mom, if you make trouble again, I will send you back to your hometown." The old woman was stunned when Wang Jianguo opened his mouth.
Then the old woman reacted and sat down on the ground, "Everyone come and see, this is what it means to forget your mother after marrying a wife. I worked hard to raise him, and now his mother doesn't need me anymore, so she wants to send me back to my hometown..."
The old woman sat on the ground and talked non-stop, and Su Ruoli's brain almost exploded.
