Chapter 90

90 Delivery

It was impossible to scare the child out, but Madam Qian could tell that Fatty Su was sincere in helping.

In the end, her man was just a farmer who had been digging for food for his entire life, and she was just an ignorant village woman. How could she really stabilize herself in this situation?

She was already panicking!

In terms of trust in Fatty Su, Old Li was better. After all, he had seen with his own eyes how desperately Fatty Su dealt with evil people in order to protect the New Year goods he had hauled for the villagers.

Madam Qian felt that this family was not as bad as before and was showing signs of improvement. At the end of the day, however, she was too traumatized by the Little Su family in the past. Deep down, she could not hand her daughter-in-law’s life to a little bully.

“Stop causing trouble. Go back.”

She finally made such a difficult decision. “Xiaoyong’s father, go to the kitchen to boil water and ask your son to go to town to see if he can get a doctor from the medical center!”

The village head said, “The doctor isn’t good at delivering babies either!”

There was a hierarchy of knowledge and specialization. Doctors treated people, but midwives delivered babies!

Madam Qian pointed at Fatty Su and said, “Is she a midwife? How did you dare to let her in?”

“Mother! Mother!”

From the back room came Qiuni’s cries.

Madam Qian’s expression changed. She turned around and lifted the curtain to enter the room!

Old Li and the village head also took a step forward. This was their instinct to help, but they were men and could not watch a woman give birth. They could only hold it in.

However, Su Xiaoxiao seized the opportunity and entered the room!

She came to the bed and looked at the sweating and pale Madam Zhao. She grabbed her wrist and took her pulse.

“Why did you come in!” Madam Qian scolded.

Su Xiaoxiao said, “How long has it been since she ate?”

“What?” Madam Qian did not hear her clearly.

Su Xiaoxiao changed her words. “I’m asking, how long has it been since she ate?”

Madam Qian said in a daze, “It’s been a while. She knocked her belly on the table and hasn’t eaten anything since.”

She had hurt herself. Her body was uncomfortable and she could not eat at all.

Su Xiaoxiao immediately said, “Go boil a bowl of sugar water for her!”

With that, she retrieved the first aid kit from the small basket, unzipped it, took out a pair of sterile gloves, and put them on.

When she practiced medicine, she seemed to have become a different person. Her every move exuded a serious aura.

Madam Qian’s words were suddenly stuck in her throat!

This Fat Lass Su was undoubtedly unfamiliar to her. She had an authoritative aura that could not be rejected, but she did not look like she was bullying her.

“It’s best to add two poached eggs!” Su Xiaoxiao added.

Madam Qian left in a daze.

She couldn’t explain why she listened to Fatty Su.

Su Xiaoxiao said to Qiuni, who was crying so hard that she was out of breath, “Don’t worry, your mother is just hungry. She’ll have the strength after eating something. Qiuni, can you help Grandma get the eggs first?”

Qiuni nodded with tears in her eyes. “Yes!”

She obediently went to get the eggs.

Su Xiaoxiao first took a clean gauze to wipe the sweat on Madam Zhao’s face and neck.

“Did your water break?”

She asked softly and Madam Zhao nodded weakly.

Su Xiaoxiao touched her stomach. “The position of the fetus is positive. I just took your pulse, and it’s very good. You’ll be fine. Don’t scare yourself. This isn’t a difficult labor. Even if I didn’t come, you could have given birth yourself.”

Clinically speaking, Little Madam Zhao’s fetus was already full-term. It was not considered premature. It was just that there was no labor that was not difficult.

Secondly, she had an accident in the evening and it acted up at night. Madam Zhao thought that it was because of this that she might not be able to keep this baby. She was nervous and under too much mental pressure, so she couldn’t eat, causing her stamina to be exhausted and her blood sugar to be too low.

Su Xiaoxiao said softly, “It takes strength to give birth. You have to eat, understand?”

Little Madam Zhao choked and nodded.

Fatty Su’s eyes and voice were too gentle, exuding a calming power, making her subconsciously think of her mother.

Little Madam Zhao had never studied and did not know how to express her current feelings. In short, she wanted to cry.

It was not a sad cry.

This was Fatty Su.

She should have been afraid.

But why... did her heart fall back into place?

Madam Qian cooked a bowl of sugar eggs and fed them to her daughter-in-law.

It was strange. She had only gone to cook a bowl of sugar eggs. Why didn’t her daughter-in-law cry or shout?

She didn’t seem to be worried that she wouldn’t be able to give birth anymore and worked hard to eat. No matter what she said at night, she wouldn’t eat...

Madam Qian looked at Fatty Su strangely.

Could it be... this girl’s credit?

After Madam Zhao finished eating the sugar eggs, she finally had the strength to give birth.

After her uterus opened to the maximum, Su Xiaoxiao placed her hand on her stomach and felt every contraction. “Are you ready? When I tell you to exert force later, do it.”

Little Madam Zhao nodded.

The contraction came.

Su Xiaoxiao said, “Inhale. Very good, hard!”

Madam Qian was stunned. She had given birth herself and had seen her daughter-in-law give birth. Even if she did not know much about it, some things were interlinked.

The midwife seemed to deliver babies like this.

Fatty Su really understood! Had Fat Lass Su secretly gone to learn to be a midwife?

Outside the house, Old Li and his son were as anxious as ants on a hot pan. They kept walking around the central room.

“Mother, has Chunxiu given birth?” Li Xiaoyong asked.

Madam Qian chuckled. “Stop asking! Go away! Do you think you’re wrapping dumplings? Giving birth is way harder than that!”

Li Xiaoyong shut his mouth resentfully.

The village head looked silent and calm, but in fact, his heart was in turmoil. The only calm person in the central room was Wei Ting. Was he indifferent? No, if he really didn’t care, he wouldn’t have come with Daya. Wei Ting must be confident in Daya’s medical skills since he did not panic at all. In that case, he should trust Daya more.

The village head was thinking too much. Wei Ting only felt that it was useless for him to think too much. He could not help much inside. It was better to wait quietly for the news. At least, he would not be a hindrance.

Little Madam Zhao’s delivery was in the final stage.

She held Su Xiaoxiao’s hand tightly and used her last bit of strength as a mother.

It turned out that Little Madam Zhao had indeed frightened herself at first. After Su Xiaoxiao came to deliver her child, the process went very smoothly.

With a loud cry, everyone felt relieved.

“It’s a fat kid.” Su Xiaoxiao wrapped the child up and carried him into Madam Zhao’s arms. “You’re so brave.”

Little Madam Zhao’s eyes were red. It was only right for a woman to give birth. No one had ever praised her like this. At most, they would say she was really good at giving birth. It felt different when Fatty Su praised her.

She seemed to have... really done something amazing!
