Chapter 2: Surgery

At this moment, painful screams came from inside the house.

It was obvious that her mother had woken up.

She was working hard to give birth.

That’s right. The child had yet to be born, and there was no way she could let herself be unconscious for long.

“Ahh!” Bai Zhi shouted with all her might.

Right on the heels of that, the sound of a child crying could be heard.

“She’s out, she’s out. It’s a girl.” The midwife immediately washed the child clean and carefully wrapped her up.

This girl was really skinny. She wondered if she could survive.

Just as the midwife was about to carry the child out, she bumped into Hua Jiujiu, who came in. She immediately said sternly, “Girl, what are you doing in such a place? Get out quickly.”

Hua Jiujiu knew that in ancient times, labor rooms were very taboo, even in the countryside.

“Okay, I’ll go out,” Hua Jiujiu replied casually.

However, when the midwife walked out, she snuck in again.

She had to see how her mother was doing. Why was there suddenly no sound? Could it be that she was bleeding profusely?

When she saw the harsh birthing environment, Hua Jiujiu could not help but frown.

She didn’t have time to care so much. She strode to Bai Zhi’s bedside.

“Mother?” Hua Jiujiu called out softly.

Bai Zhi was barely conscious. Her eyelashes were constantly trembling. She wanted to open her eyes but couldn’t. She was obviously exhausted.

Hua Jiujiu’s heart sank. She walked to the end of the bed and wanted to check on the situation when she heard a sharp voice coming from outside.

“What? Another good-for-nothing?”

“Her belly was so round. Shouldn’t it be a grandson?”

“Little jinx! It must be because of her that my second son was jinxed to death!”

“Hurry up and throw this thing to the back of the mountain to feed the wolves. Don’t get jinxed by this little jinx!”

Elder Madam Xu’s voice got louder and louder, completely ignoring the thin child’s heart-wrenching cries.

Hua Jiujiu wanted to go out and stop her, but Bai Zhi’s situation was even more dire, so she had to deal with the situation here first.

She hoped that her two sisters could stop the situation outside.

“Ugh…”

Suddenly, Bai Zhi moaned in pain.

Hua Jiujiu’s expression was a little solemn.

Bai Zhi had another child in her stomach. Moreover, this child was still in an improper position and couldn’t be birthed normally.

Even if she could adjust the fetal position, with Bai Zhi’s current situation, she probably wouldn’t have the strength to give birth again.

Therefore, she could only perform a C-section and cut the baby out!

However, the environment here…

Even if the child was successfully taken out, Bai Zhi would probably die from the infection.

Bai Zhi seemed to have sensed something and grabbed Hua Jiujiu’s hand with difficulty. “Save… My… Child…” Every word seemed to exhaust her strength.

Hua Jiujiu bit her lips and a look of determination flashed across her eyes. She started to look around for something that could be used for a C-section.

…

Looking at the things placed in front of her, Hua Jiujiu thought of something important.

Disinfectant!

Whether it was roasted by fire or alcohol, it was better than nothing.

Hua Jiujiu remembered that there was a small jar of precious wine in her grandfather’s room and hurriedly ran out to get it.

The people outside had already caused a commotion because of the child. They did not have the time to care about Hua Jiujiu at all, so she successfully brought the wine jar over and locked the door when she came in. She did not want someone to barge in halfway through her surgery. If that happened, both mother and son would really die.

At this moment, Bai Zhi had already fainted from exhaustion. There was not much time left for Hua Jiujiu.

“It would be great if there was still something else that could keep her alive,” Hua Jiujiu murmured.

As soon as she finished speaking, the scene in Hua Jiujiu’s eyes changed. She looked at the beautiful scene in front of her in shock.

A space… Had opened!
