Xu Ruantang pulled her to sit down, "Sister-in-law, have you thought it through?"
Zhang Li nodded without hesitation for a second.
"OK."
Adhering to the principle of separating public and private matters, Xu Ruantang first explained the precautions to her.
Zhang Li said she could accept either.
The two agreed to go to the shop in the Xifosi Market area together early the next morning.
It just so happened that Qiu Liang had studied management with Wang Xiuxiu for a long time, so Zhang Li was interviewed by him.
She originally wanted Zhang Li to work at Qiu Liang's shop, partly because it was close to home, and partly because it would be easier to adjust in case of any unforeseen circumstances.
As they saw Zhang Li off, before they could even speak, they saw a tall figure running towards them from afar.
It is green.
Before the two could react, the green shadow drew closer.
"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law."
It turned out to be Xu Hanli.
He gasped for breath and said, "Hurry to the hospital, my sister-in-law is about to give birth!"
Xu Ruantang frowned, "Isn't there still a month until my due date?"
Xu Hanli waved his hand, not having time to explain further.
"The situation is a bit complicated. I'll take you to the hospital. Old Chen and his brother went ahead first."
Seeing this, Zhang Li didn't want to delay her any longer. "Ruan Tang, having a baby is a big deal, you should go now!"
Xu Ruantang's mind raced, and she said to Xu Hanli, "Wait for me."
She turned and went inside, went straight upstairs to find her bankbook and money, and stuffed them all in.
It was in the car that Xu Hanli told her the whole story.
For some reason, Tang Wan's water broke before the appointed time, and she also started bleeding.
The older brother was so worried that he went to the hospital with her before dawn.
When they arrived at the ward door, the doctor was explaining the situation: "The labor started early, but a cesarean section is very likely to be needed."
"Why do we need to have a C-section?"
The speaker was Tang Wan's mother, who looked very nervous as she pulled the doctor aside and said, "Doctor, it's best to have a natural birth, and avoid a C-section if possible!"
Tang Wan's mother's considerations were not without merit.
In this day and age, cesarean section technology is not mature, and both the process and the subsequent suturing cause more harm to the mother than vaginal delivery.
The thought of crooked stitches on my stomach is one thing, but having surgery on my body is terrifying.
The doctor patiently explained, "It depends on the situation. The main problem is that there is a significant difference in body size between the couple, and the baby is relatively large. Even if it's a vaginal delivery, the mother will suffer more than the average person."
This was the first time Xu Ruantang had heard such a viewpoint.
Not to mention her, Chen Zheng and Chen Ji were also hearing this for the first time.
Both Chen brothers were tall and strong. Although Chen Zheng was not as robust as Chen Ji, he was still a big guy compared to Tang Wan.
"Okay, anything is fine, save the adult, no matter what, save the adult first!"
Ye Lan and the old lady were also very anxious and kept talking to the doctor.
When Chen Zheng signed the surgical consent form, his hand was shaking so badly he could barely keep it steady.
His nervousness was obvious, but he still tried to appear calm.
Midway through, the nurse brought over the form, and Xu Ruantang and Chen Ji went downstairs to complete it.
Chen Ji appeared calm on the surface, but when he went to pay, the window staff called out twice for the receipt, but he didn't hear them.
Xu Ruantang eventually took it from him before the payment was completed.
The two walked up the stairs side by side, and Xu Ruantang took advantage of the fact that no one was around to shake his hand.
Chen Ji turned to look at her, a slow smile curving his lips, and reached out to ruffle her hair.
"fine."
He also tried to comfort Xu Ruantang.
As soon as I went upstairs, I could hear Tang Wan's heart-wrenching screams from inside the delivery room, even through the door.
The person, who usually speaks softly, cried out in a rather shrill voice.
Xu Ruantang stopped in her tracks, her pupils suddenly contracting.
To be honest, since coming here, I've been to the hospital too many times and witnessed too many life-and-death situations.
She did not become numb; instead, she developed a greater reverence for life.
Chen Zheng, who was originally a gentle and refined person, was now pacing anxiously at the door.
Several times, he asked to go in and accompany her during childbirth.
Unfortunately, they weren't allowed in because it wasn't normal production, and he almost forced his way in.
Only after the old lady spoke up did he stop making things difficult for the medical staff.
Anxious, Chen Zheng couldn't stop pacing back and forth outside the ward.
It was getting later and later.
Chen Zheng ultimately lost control.
His eyes were red, and he collapsed to the ground, burying his head in his arms.
She muttered to herself, "Wanwan, I shouldn't have listened to you, I shouldn't have listened to you."
For some reason, Xu Ruantang understood the sentence immediately, even though it was a completely random statement.
Chen Zheng and Tang Wan had children late in life, and Tang Wan was considered an older mother in this era, so the risks of childbirth were higher for her than for others.
It's probably because Tang Wan wanted a child, but her older brother didn't.
He began to regret it when his sister-in-law suffered inside.
When people face death, their most vulnerable side is exposed.
They may feel fear, regret, or speak without thinking, but they will also reveal their deepest, most genuine thoughts.
Fearing that the old lady was too old to wait outside, Ye Lan asked Xu Hanli to take her home several times.
Xu Ruantang borrowed a chair, and the old lady did not refuse, but sat down and waved her hand.
She was actually the calmest one there.
With the old lady around, it's like a family has a pillar of support.
Despite their anxiety, everyone remained calm and composed.
Tang Wan's father arrived late, and Tang Wan's mother was so anxious that she cried several times.
It's often said that the outside of the delivery room is a microcosm of life; some people are fighting desperately inside, while others are anxiously watching from the outside.
As time went on, the shouts inside grew fainter and fainter.
No doctor came to explain the situation.
It was very quiet outside, except for the sound of people pacing back and forth.
After an unknown amount of time, a loud cry came from inside, and Chen Zheng immediately stood up from the ground.
The delivery room door opened quickly, and a nurse came out carrying a wrapped-up baby.
A crowd quickly surrounded them.
"Nurse, where is the master? How is he?"
Chen Zheng was the fastest.
He rushed to the nurse's side without even looking at the baby she was holding, and just craned his neck to look into the delivery room.
The nurse smiled and said, "The adult is still being stitched up, don't worry."
As she spoke, she moved the baby she was holding forward a bit, "Congratulations, it's a big, healthy boy, weighing six pounds and three ounces! Who's the dad? Come and hold him."
Although she had a rough idea that Chen Zheng was the child's father, the nurse still asked him.
Chen Zheng did not answer the nurse's question. "May I go in? I want to go in and be with my wife."
Perhaps because this situation was so rare, the nurse was taken aback.
Looking down at the baby in her arms, then up at Chen Zheng, she finally realized what was happening and said with a wry smile, "The mother is already having her wound stitched up and will be out soon. We can't go in now."
Actually, the stitching work was already being finished when she came out.
The baby was brought out after the nurses had cleaned the delivery room, dressed the baby in a small outfit, and drawn blood.
It was the first time I'd ever seen such a chubby boy come out and no one noticed him at all.
Everyone's attention was on the adults.
