Sun was so frightened that she grabbed He Tiantian's hand tightly and kept wailing.
"Am I going to die? Why is there so much blood... I didn't bleed this much when I gave birth before. I haven't lived enough yet, I can't die..."
Mrs. Sun was pale; she was truly terrified.
He Tiantian could only try to comfort her, "No, there's no such thing as childbirth without bleeding. You should rest for a while and wait for Aunt Liu and the doctor to come and check on you. Don't make a sound, save your energy."
For once, Mrs. Sun put aside her prejudice against He Tiantian and obediently nodded.
He Tiantian went outside to check several times, wondering why Xiao Lü hadn't come yet. Could it be that Xiao Lü hadn't found anyone?
She wiped the sweat from her forehead; the weather was already hot, and her anxiety made her feel even hotter.
Sun half-closed her eyes, gritting her teeth and trying her best to stop herself from wailing.
But she felt blood flowing continuously from her lower body, as if it was draining her entire body.
"Haven't Aunt Liu and the doctor arrived yet?" Sun asked weakly.
The sound was too soft, so He Tiantian naturally didn't hear it.
Granny Zhao finally returned. She ordered her daughter-in-law to do chores, while she went to visit other neighbors.
If it weren't for Zhao Tingzhang calling her all over the village, she wouldn't have known that Sun was about to give birth.
Granny Zhao was still cracking pumpkin seeds in her mouth, appearing unhurried and relaxed.
"Oh dear, what woman doesn't have children? My eldest daughter-in-law has already had four children, she's very experienced! What do I have to worry about!"
He Tiantian gave her a disapproving look, feeling no goodwill towards the old woman whatsoever.
"It's lucky you didn't have any problems after giving birth to four. Every time a woman gives birth, she's on the verge of death. You've given birth yourself, you know that!" He Tiantian said irritably.
Granny Zhao glared at He Tiantian with displeasure, but since the village head was also present, she couldn't make a scene.
Granny Zhao went into the room to look at Sun Shi. When she lifted the quilt, she found that the bedding was soaked with blood.
"Mother, save me..." Sun said in a weak voice.
When Granny Zhao saw so much blood, she was also quite surprised.
However, not wanting to lose face in front of He Tiantian, she stubbornly insisted, "Let's wait for the doctor to see how it goes."
Zhao Xiaolu finally managed to summon Doctor Zhang, Liu Shi, and Sister-in-law Yulan.
The three of them rushed into the house in a panic.
Everyone knew that Dr. Zhang should be the first to examine the patient. There were no proper doctors in the village, but when it came to a critical moment of saving a life, they had no choice but to bring him in.
We're doing this as a last resort.
Dr. Zhang took the patient's pulse and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"How is it?"
"How are you doing, Dr. Zhang?"
All the women in the room looked at Doctor Zhang and asked in unison.
Dr. Zhang became even more nervous, and said in a trembling voice, "No, this is not good. The mother is hemorrhaging..."
"What?" Granny Zhao gasped in surprise.
Everyone in the room fell silent.
Even in modern medicine, postpartum hemorrhage has a high mortality rate.
Moreover, in Changfeng Village, almost all the women who suffered severe postpartum hemorrhage in recent years have died.
Because there's no cure for this, and we don't know how to cure it!
He Tiantian suddenly remembered that she still had some maternity kits at home that she had bought when she gave birth.
She quickly ran home to get it, and when she came out, she saw Zhao Xiaolü looking worried. So she pulled Zhao Xiaolü back home.
“Your mother is giving birth, so you just wait at home. Your aunt will call you if anything happens,” He Tiantian said, trying to keep her tone calm.
Zhao Xiaolu nervously grabbed He Tiantian's hand, raising her face, which was already streaked with tears.
She asked earnestly, "Auntie, is my mother really alright?"
He Tiantian touched the stray hairs on Zhao Xiaolu's head and forced a smile onto her face.
"It's alright, go to the field and call Xiaolan. Call her back too."
Zhao Xiaolu nodded and went out.
He Tiantian quickly grabbed her hospital bag and fetal heart monitor. She then opened the online store and bought a lot of medical gauze for stopping bleeding, as well as iodine solution for disinfection.
They took a large bag of things to the Sun family's house.
Inside the house, Liu and Yulan's mother were both encouraging Sun.
Sun screamed in pain, looking very distressed.
Granny Zhao sat on the stool next to her and watched, without offering to come up and help.
He Tiantian was really angry just looking at her. She wondered if the old woman's heart was made of stone.
"Old Zhao, could you please boil some water?" He Tiantian gritted her teeth in anger.
Before Granny Zhao could say anything more, Liu quickly interjected, "Sister-in-law, you should burn more, or it might not be enough."
Having no other choice, Granny Zhao went to the kitchen to boil water.
He Tiantian handed the hemostatic gauze she had bought to Liu and told her how to stop Sun's bleeding.
After stuffing it in and working for quite a while, the bleeding finally stopped.
Liu and Sister-in-law Yulan finally breathed a sigh of relief, both of them covered in sweat.
He Tiantian dampened a cloth with water and wiped Sun's forehead repeatedly.
Mrs. Sun was also tired, and finally stopped to rest.
He Tiantian put the ginseng slices she had just taken from home into Sun's mouth.
This was a gift from Director Song when she gave birth to Mingzhu. It had been sitting there untouched for a while.
After a while, Mrs. Sun finally fell asleep.
However, he didn't sleep well; his face was scrunched up, and he looked like he was in pain.
Liu and her sister-in-law Yulan looked at Sun lying on the bed with some concern and sighed softly.
Granny Zhao had boiled water and was calling out as she came this way.
