Chapter 121 Becoming a Midwife
Chapter 121 Becoming a Midwife
Pan Nan was running around, she was familiar with this kind of work. When her mother gave birth to two younger sisters, they never hired a midwife, so she was the one who did it.
But when the grandparents saw that it was a girl, they threw her into the urine bucket and drowned her.
Although Yu Xiu is only ten years old, he can eat a lot. In Lan Qiyan's words, it is largely due to genetic factors. Now he has grown tall and strong, and looks even more powerful than Pan Nan's father who looks like a chicken.
Standing like this, Pan Nan’s grandparents really didn’t dare to come forward.
Yu Xiu listened to his mother and said that as long as he guarded the door well, he would be rewarded with a roast chicken tomorrow.
No matter who comes today, it won't help.
Inside the house, Lan Qiyan bought a piece of ginseng from Taobao. She was so angry that she wanted to curse. One piece cost ten taels.
Shameless.
She only sold one ginseng for sixty taels, and she was showing off so many slices.
“Pan Nanniang, open your mouth, this is ginseng, it can save your life.
I tell you, listen to me, live well and don't give up.
Think about Pan Nan. If you were gone, her life would be in danger.
She is still young now, but she will be abused by her grandparents and stepmother, and she will definitely be sold when she grows up.
You will have to sacrifice your life by then, can you bear it? You couldn't save the lives of those two girls, so you won't protect this one either?"
The person on the bed didn't know whether it was the effect of the ginseng or the effect of Lan Qiyan's words, but she opened her eyes again.
Lan Qiyan recalled the process of helping the golden retriever give birth and began to operate.
The fetal position is definitely wrong. She doesn't dare to do a cesarean section because she doesn't have enough equipment.
There is only one way, that is to hope the man can get hot water.
She simply burned her hands and then began to rub back and forth on Pan Nanniang's belly.
At least that's what Pan Nan saw.
When the child's legs came out, Lan Qiyan began to attack. "Mother Pan, listen to my command. One, two, three, use force."
One of them tried hard to give birth, while the other pulled with skill. After four or five rounds, a child was born.
Pan Nan came over with a piece of cloth, and Lan Qiyan quickly wrapped it around his body and wiped it, "Pan Nan asked your grandmother to bring a blanket and stew eggs and brown sugar water, her grandson is born."
Pan Nan cried with joy and ran out in a hurry, "Grandma, my little brother is born. Auntie asked you to bring a blanket and stew eggs and brown sugar water."
"What? Oh God, please bless me, Shugen, hurry up and make a fire, and stew eggs and brown sugar water for Caoya. Where can I make a blanket?"
Lan Qiyan shook his head after hearing this. Damn it, they really favor boys over girls.
She put the cleaned child aside and wiped Wei Pannan's mother's body.
When Old Lady Ma came in to tuck the baby in, Lan Qiyan was changing the bedding for Pan Nanniang.
"Auntie, these beddings need to be changed and washed. Pan Nanniang is too weak, you have to take good care of her. She will have to spend the rest of her confinement."
"His aunt, don't worry, we will take good care of you during this confinement period, and we will replace all of these.
Yu Youliang, come in quickly and tidy up your wife's bedding. Wash it all. It's not good to make your son feel uncomfortable."
In about a cup of tea's time, the small courtyard was filled with joy. The old lady held her grandson in her arms, looking very happy.
Yu Youliang was very enthusiastic in washing the sheets, so Yu Shugen boiled a big bowl of egg and brown sugar water for him.
Lan Qiyan and Pan Nan also made the bed together, making it clean and tidy.
Pan Nan's mother's eyes were red. In the past, when she gave birth, she was covered in sweat and blood, and no one was willing to come in.
The child was crying with hunger in his bed, but no one came to ask.
She couldn't even save the two children. She was too weak to get up and couldn't stop her mother-in-law.
The treatment she is receiving now is something she could never have dreamed of. Qi Yan is the savior of the three of them, mother and daughter.
Ginseng is so expensive. She probably wanted to sell it for money, but she just used it for herself.
But I have no money and can't pay it back.
"Mom, Qiyan saved our lives. Can I make her some clothes?"
The old woman was happy and waved her hand, "Okay, I'll give you some cloth when you're out of confinement."
"Thank you ma'am."
Then she turned to look at Lan Qiyan, "Qiyan, don't despise me. I don't have any other skills, but I can make clothes. I made clothes for Pan Nan, his parents-in-law, and his father."
Lan Qiyan looked at Pan Nan's clothes. Although they were made of patchwork pieces of cloth, they were embroidered and the style was very nice.
He remembered that this thing could be sold in Taobao space. Children's clothing could be sold for 800 wen, women's was usually a base layer, and the cheapest men's was 1 wen.
We only make the simplest styles, and don’t make complicated ones because they are too expensive, and we don’t have the raw materials for gold and silver threads.
"Sister Caoya, you can make clothes, right?"
"Yes, I can help you if you need it in the future."
Lan Qiyan smiled and said, "When you are out of confinement, I have a business to discuss with you."
The old woman got excited when she heard this, "Aunt, you mean that grass sprouts can still make money."
"Why can't she make money? I think the clothes she makes are pretty good."
The old woman's eyes rolled around and she became even happier as she thought about it.
Just as she was holding the child to show the two men, Cao Ya gave Pan Nan a fried egg.
The mother and daughter acted like thieves, which made Lan Qiyan feel depressed.
After leaving Pan Nan's house, Lan Qiyan was thinking about the social status of women, while Yu Xiu was thinking about his big chicken leg.
Both of them are very deep, and their temperament is such that strangers should stay away from them.
Lan Qiyan's midwifery skills quickly spread throughout Yushi Village, and it was so miraculous that all the babies she delivered were boys.
Because she had six sons, she was destined to have children.
Lan Qiyan felt that the rumors were not credible.
Why would she have children? These six were not hers.
But people don’t care whether the child is their own or someone else’s. If someone calls you mother, then he is your son.
Someone came to her door, so she went ahead and did it. As expected, she delivered three babies in two days, all boys.
Cao Ya's mother-in-law and the mothers-in-law of the other two families, three nagging old ladies, came with vegetables and sweet potatoes to thank her.
After they left, Yulin said worriedly, "Mom, these three mothers-in-law are all big mouths. In less than three days, everyone in the surrounding villages will know that you can deliver a boy.
People will praise you so much, and then one day you pick up a girl, and they'll drop you hard, and it'll hurt."
Lan Qiyan scratched his head. It was over. He was in trouble.
Yu Xiu gnawed on the chicken neck, his mouth full of oil, "Don't be afraid, mom. Your son will catch you when the time comes. You won't die from the fall."
Lan Qiyan's mouth twitched, "What a good child, should I thank you?"
"Mom, don't be so polite. I feel a little embarrassed."
Lan Qiyan really wanted to kick him, "Eat your food, the three of you can think of a way for me to get rid of this job.
To be honest, every time I deliver a baby, the shadow in my heart becomes heavier.
This is going to make me less and less likely to have kids, it’s horrible.”
"Mom, do you still want to have children? Who will you have them with? How many children do you want? Is my dad back?"
Lan Qiyan couldn't bear to watch, "Eating can't stop your mouth, right? I'm just saying that."
"Oh, then explain it clearly, otherwise I would think you were going to remarry. Anyway, you have to take me with you when you remarry. I am the dowry."
Lan Qiyan became autistic and was unable to communicate with this thing.
