1295: Chapter 1295: Protecting the Elder and the Younger (1) 1295: Chapter 1295: Protecting the Elder and the Younger (1) Since Wang Hehua had been pregnant, it was Yang Ruxin who had been helping her with her prenatal care, and so her physical condition was quite good.
Even though she was giving premature birth now, it wasnât too difficult, and her cervix dilated quickly.
Yang Ruxin didnât know how to deliver a baby, so she didnât step forward but waited at the entrance of the room.
The room had a thick curtain drawn across the door, which prevented anyone from seeing inside unless it was opened.
However, her mother, Zhao Xinghua, and several members of the Feng Family had all gone into the room to help.
From time to time, blood-stained water was carried out, and then hot water was brought in.
Gu Qingheng and Xie Tai were waiting in the courtyard, coincidentally talking with Li Yi.
Li Zhong had run back home.
When Du Juan went to find him, he was so scared he almost fell over.
It was only with the help of a young lady who steadied him that he managed to stay on his feet and then stumbled his way back.
âDonât panic, Uncle Zhong,â Gu Qingheng swiftly grabbed Li Zhong, who was about to rush into the room, âThe midwife is in there.
Itâll be fine.â
Li Zhong took a deep breath, âOkay, the uncle wonât panic.â But the veins on the back of his clasped hands bulged alarmingly.
Soon, however, a cry was heard from inside the room.
Perhaps because the baby was born too early, its cries werenât very loud.
In a short while, Liu Cuiyun came out holding a tidied-up baby, âBrother Li Zhong, congratulations, you have a sonâŠâ She said and deliberately brought the wrinkled, monkey-like little thing closer to Li Zhong for a good look, âThis is Dabao.
Erbao is still insideâŠâ
âDad, I have a little brother now!â Li Xiang shouted excitedly, âBig Brother Gu, I have a little brother nowâŠâ Then she turned to Xie Tai, found she didnât recognize him, but still smiled and nodded, unable to hide her elation.
Xie Tai watched the little girl in front of him with amusement.
Her smile was like lighting up the clouds at sunset, and he couldnât help but curve his lips, âCongratulations.â
Li Zhong glanced at his son in Liu Cuiyunâs arms, then suddenly squatted down and began to sob.
âUncle Zhong, you should be happy.
Why are you crying?â Yang Ruxin walked out and smiled, âAunt Hehua is listening inside.
If you keep crying, sheâll think youâre unhappy about having a son.â
âHehe, Iâm laughing,â Li Zhong quickly wiped his face and forced a smile, âIâll laugh for her to hear, and you tell my aunt, Li Zhong thanks herâŠâ
Yang Ruxin couldnât help but giggle, âYou should say that yourself when the time comes.
I wonât be passing that message.â
Just then, the old midwife ran out with her hands covered in blood, âThe one inside is breech, canât be born, and if we delay any longer, sheâll hemorrhage.
You have to decide whether to save the mother or the child!â
âWhat kind of talk is that?â Li Xiangâs smile froze instantly upon hearing this, âMy motherâŠâ
âSave the mother,â Li Zhongâs legs gave way for a moment, but he quickly stood firm again, âI want my wife to be safeâŠâ
The old midwife sighed and went back inside.
Yang Ruxin frowned, aware that such dilemmas often occurred in less advanced times.
Although she had never given birth in her two lifetimes, she knew that childbirth was like a second reincarnation for women, and many didnât survive the ordeal.
However, after the twenty-first century, childbirth seemed to have become easierâfor most pregnant women, when the time was almost due, they would pick a good day, go to the hospital, have a cesarean section, and that was that, with no need to worry about the position of the fetus.
Indeed, if Wang Hehuaâs twins had not been born prematurely and had been delivered smoothly, there would have been no problem.
Yang Ruban really hadnât done any good by doing thisâafter his bump, one of the babies had not even turned properly, which was certainly dangerous.
