Chapter 69: Delivery
This time, a hurried cry came from the outside of the crowd, "Mrs. Sun, hurry up, come back! Your daughter-in-law is dying. She's having a difficult birth and may not make it."
Mrs. Sun's face turned pale in an instant. It was over. Her little grandson spread his legs and ran home dragging his fat body.
There was a flurry of discussion among the crowd. With such a major incident happening, the village chief and his men couldn't continue distributing grain. They decided to temporarily stop and wait and see what happened.
"Everyone please go home today. Village cadres, please come with me to check on the situation." The village chief said.
Su Tao saw that everyone had dispersed, leaving only a few people to guard the grain. Since he was also a member of the village office, he simply followed to see the situation. After all, human lives were at stake, so he would help if he could.
When the group arrived at Sun's house, the entrance was already crowded with Sun's family and his daughter-in-law Li Cuihua's family members, and the scene was in chaos.
"What's going on?" the village chief asked.
As soon as the village chief opened his mouth, a group of people gathered around him, talking at once, as if they had found a backbone.
"Village chief, you have to help us think of a solution. I only have this one daughter." Li Cuihua's mother pleaded in tears.
"Have you hired a midwife? What did she say?" The village chief also looked embarrassed. He could think of other ways, but he couldn't help this woman with giving birth even if he wanted to.
At this time, the door opened and the sound of a baby crying was heard. A short and fat middle-aged woman came out, holding a wrapped child in her arms, but her face was pale and there was no joy on her face.
The wife of the Sun family hurried over to greet her with surprise and called out, "It's born, Grandma Wang, let me see how my grandson is doing."
The Sun family's wife pulled back the quilt and burst into a rage, "Why is it a girl? Where's my grandson? I clearly had someone calculate it, and it's a son."
Another young man came forward and asked, "How is my wife?"
Grandma Wang said with a bitter face: "I have no choice. Your wife is pregnant with two children. She gave birth to one with great difficulty, but she couldn't give birth to the other one."
The man was stunned when he heard this and fell to the ground. Twins! These days, it's a life-threatening situation. No wonder his wife's belly is so big.
Su Tao frowned as he listened. Twins? That was truly horrible. Back then, people still had to find a midwife and have the babies delivered by themselves. Su Tao remembered reading a news report that cesarean sections were only just being trialed in some places, not yet nationwide. It hadn't even been implemented here.
If you get pregnant with twins, you'll either be lucky enough to give birth to one of them, or unlucky enough to make it through the next.
The man knelt on the ground, tugging at the midwife's trouser legs, begging her non-stop: "Po Wang, please, save my wife~"
Wang Po didn't respond, she really had no other choice.
