"What happened?" Li Xiyue asked hurriedly when she saw Xu Guoqiang so anxious.
Xu Guoqiang started walking, saying as he went.
Li Xiyue and Huang Xinrui said a few words and then hurriedly followed Xu Guoqiang away.
Upon entering Xu Dashan's house, a strong fishy smell immediately filled the air.
On the way there, Xu Guoqiang told her about the situation of Xu Dashan's wife, Fang Yue'e.
Xu Dashan and his wife have been married for nearly twenty years, but for some unknown reason, they have never had a child.
In other words, over the past twenty years, Fang Yue'e's pregnancies have either resulted in miscarriages or stillbirths.
Later, Uncle Xu prescribed Chinese medicine for Fang Yue'e to regulate her body. This time, the child finally survived for more than seven months. Just when everyone thought everything would be alright, another accident occurred.
In the evening, Fang Yue'e was starting a fire to cook when she accidentally tripped over the firewood.
If Xu Guoqiang hadn't known that Xu Dashan had gone to pick up the educated youth and hadn't sent his wife to pick up Fang Yue'e for dinner, a major disaster would have occurred.
Although it was discovered in time, the fall aggravated the pregnancy, and the baby was about to be born.
“I’ve already sent Xiangyang to borrow a cow from Sujia Village next door. Uncle Liu is here to watch over it, but he’s a man after all, and there are many things he can’t do. So I had to call you over. You know medicine, so I feel more at ease having you here to watch over things,” Xu Guoqiang said.
After understanding the cause and effect, Li Xiyue went straight into the house.
The smell inside the room was even stronger, and Grandma Yu and Sun Xia were by the bedside keeping the new mother company.
Uncle Xu was quite far away, but when he saw her arrive, he immediately said, "Girl, Da Shan's water broke and the baby is about to be born. I gave her ginseng to boost her energy, but the baby is breech. Do you know if there's anything you can do?"
Although he also knew acupuncture, he only had a superficial understanding, far less than one-tenth of Li Xiyue's, so he dared not rashly administer acupuncture to Fang Yue'e.
"Yueyue, please help Yue'e, she's so pitiful." Grandma Yu stepped forward and took Li Xiyue's hand.
Sun Xia wiped away her tears.
Li Xiyue patted Grandma Yu's hand to comfort her, walked to the bedside, took Fang Yue'e's hand, felt her pulse, and observed her complexion.
She was pale, her forehead was covered in sweat, and there were abrasions on her cheeks. It was clear that she had fallen face down, which had put pressure on her abdomen and caused her water to rupture.
Fang Yue'e's pulse was not very good. She was old and her body was severely depleted due to multiple miscarriages. Although she was able to get pregnant after conditioning, her constitution could not be improved in a short time. The reason she was able to get pregnant at this time was because the embryo was of good quality.
Simply put, it means the mother is weak, but the embryo is strong.
If the embryo is weak and the mother is strong, the child would have died long ago.
Given Fang Yue'e's physical condition, it would be difficult for her to give birth. Fortunately, Uncle Xu gave her ginseng, and if the baby was in the correct position, she could still give birth. Unfortunately, the baby was not in the correct position.
It's truly a case of misfortunes never coming singly.
The sound of a donkey braying came from outside the courtyard. Wang Jiaxing and Huang Xinrui, who were both in their respective houses, knew that the new educated youth had arrived and hurried out to greet them.
"Vice Captain, Uncle Dashan, thank you for your hard work."
"Wang Zhiqing, I'm leaving this person to you. I have a headache, I'm going back now." Xu Dawei said this and left.
Xu Dashan's eyelids kept twitching, and he felt that something was about to happen, so he quickly drove the donkey cart home.
Wang Jiaxing looked at the person in front of him in surprise, "Just you alone?"
"Yeah, just me." The young man carried his luggage, looking tired.
Wang Jiaxing led him into the courtyard and took him directly to his house.
Only one male educated youth came, so Huang Xinrui didn't pay any more attention to him. She left the door open, lay down in bed, and waited for Li Xiyue.
"Captain, when will the vehicle be ready?" Li Xiyue asked Xu Guoqiang outside.
If an older mother's water breaks and the baby is breech, the baby is at high risk of oxygen deprivation and suffocation in the womb. In this situation, the mother must be taken to the hospital as soon as possible.
Xu Guoqiang said, "It should be soon."
Sujia Village is only two miles away from Xujia Village. Xu Xiangyang went there by bicycle. Including the time to borrow the ox, the round trip should only take half an hour. Xu Xiangyang had already set off when he went to call Li Xiyue. He should be back soon.
Li Xiyue felt reassured, took Fang Yue'e's hand, and said softly and reassuringly, "Auntie, listen to me."
Fang Yue'e's face was contorted in pain, and she couldn't even make a sound. She could only look at Li Xiyue.
"Don't push yet. Your water has broken and the baby is breech and can't be delivered. If it goes on for too long, the baby could suffocate. Let me give you an injection to see if I can turn the baby right."
Fang Yue'e was emotional, her voice trembling with tears, "Save my child!"
Li Xiyue felt a pang of sadness. She said, "Don't worry, I'll do my best to help you, but you have to cooperate with me."
