Jinyi Spring

Chapter 25 Ancient Production
Ding Youcheng's tears welled up in his eyes. "It would be great if Doctor Feng was still alive. Aunt Wang, if only one of the mother and the child can be saved, let's save the adult."

He said it first when his parents were not around. If he said it in front of his parents, they would beat him.

Aunt Wang said nothing.

Whichever one is better, keep it.

At noon, they passed by a steamed bun shop. Ding Youcheng got off the car and bought a few white flour steamed buns. The few of them ate while continuing on their journey.

At the beginning of the afternoon, we entered Guang'an Gate and walked for more than a quarter of an hour before entering an alley.

The alleys are narrow and although they cannot be considered slums, the people living there are not wealthy and are a mixed crowd.

The Ding family's house is a quadrangle courtyard with an old elm tree in the middle, several open oil-paper umbrellas placed on the ground, and all the doors and windows are open.

A couple in their forties were walking back and forth anxiously, and a young woman in her twenties was busy inside and outside.

Aunt Ding came forward and said, "Is that Wang Wenpo? Come on, my second daughter-in-law can't even scream."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw an old woman bringing out a basin of blood and pouring it out.

This old woman is Sha Wenpo.

She was very unhappy. If Feng the doctor came, she would be helpless, because her midwifery skills were good. But how was this midwife Wang better than herself?
Aunt Ding still gritted her teeth and said, "Po Sha Wen, my second daughter-in-law couldn't give birth, so we had to ask Po Wang Wen to deliver the baby."

Mrs. Sha Wen put down the basin, and with a gloomy face, she stretched out her hand and said, "I took half, and I will take half of the wages. Fifty coins, plus ten coins for the labor-inducing medicine."

Aunt Ding negotiated the price, "You didn't take it, so give me less."

Sha Wenpo said impatiently, "Sixty cents, not a single cent less."

Father Ding said impatiently, "Give it to her."

Aunt Ding went into the house very reluctantly and counted out sixty copper coins and gave them to her.

Sha Wenpo packed her things into a large basin and glared at Wang Wenpo.

She walked out of the yard while cursing, "Your wife has a small butt, and now she has to deal with a debt collector. No one can take over."

Aunt Ding was so angry that she pointed at her son and yelled, "You said she was slender and pretty. She is pretty, but she can't have children. There is no point in marrying her home."

Ding Youcheng lowered his head and dared not say a word.

Feng Chuchen knew that when they said small buttocks, they actually meant small pelvis. One of the conditions for ancient people to find a wife was a big buttocks, which meant a big pelvis for easy childbirth.

She simply put her work clothes on over her clothes, put on a mask, and then wrapped a piece of blue cloth around her head.

Aunt Ding pointed at Feng Chuchen and asked, "What is she doing in the delivery room as a girl?"

Aunt Wang said, "She is the niece of Sister Feng and also the successor of Sister Feng. She does not participate in the delivery. But if any accident happens to the mother and the baby, she can treat them."

Aunt Ding emphasized, "If she doesn't get treated, we won't pay her."

Aunt Wang said, "Of course." She took out the scissors and handed them to Old Lady Ding. "Boil them in boiling water for half a quarter of an hour, and cook a bowl of sugar-water eggs for the woman. Then boil more hot water."

Aunt Ding handed the scissors to the eldest daughter-in-law and said, "There are sugar-water eggs and hot water, but the second daughter-in-law is in so much pain that she can't eat."

Wang Wenpo said expressionlessly, "You have to eat even if you can't eat it."

Father Ding added, "It would be best if both mother and child are safe. If only one can be saved, save the younger one first."

Ding Youcheng said angrily, "Dad."

Old Man Ding yelled, "You bastard, your mother said she couldn't give birth but you still insisted on marrying her. Since she couldn't give birth, of course she had to keep the baby."

Feng Chuchen glanced at the small window. The woman must have heard these words. If she were a modern daughter-in-law, she would definitely divorce after giving birth to the child.

But the women of this era could only endure it when they heard it.

The delivery room was the bedroom of Ding Youcheng and his wife.

As soon as I entered the house, a fishy smell hit me in the face.

It smells like blood, amniotic fluid, feces and urine.

There was a large basin in front of the kang, and a pregnant woman in labor was sitting on a chair next to the basin.

She was exhausted, her messy hair was soaked with sweat and stuck to her head, her face was covered with tears and sweat. She was only wearing a long dress, no pants, and her eyes were closed.

If she hadn't been held by Aunt Xin, who was holding her waist, she would have collapsed.

The kang was covered with thick straw, and on top of that was a mattress. When a woman lay down after giving birth, she was absolutely not allowed to get blood on the kang.

Ominous.

There was also a wooden stick hanging from the roof. Feng Chuchen stood a few steps away from the woman in labor.

Aunt Wang walked over and said, "Let her stand up."

Aunt Xin helped Wu stand up. Wu gritted her teeth, opened her eyes, and grabbed the stick with both hands. In order to save effort, she even rested her chin on the stick.

Aunt Wang touched her belly, then bent down and lifted her clothes to check her lower body.

He turned around and said to Feng Chuchen, "The mother's pelvis is narrow, and the baby's position is not correct. There is no way to fix the pelvis, so let's adjust the baby's position first."

Aunt Xin said, "The widow of the mother was in labor, but the woman in labor was in excruciating pain and still couldn't get through it."

Aunt Wang asked Wu to sit down again. "Once you use up all your energy, you won't have the strength to give birth. Eat something now while the pain isn't too severe."

"I'm in pain and can't eat."

The voice trembled and gurgled in the throat.

Aunt Wang said, "For the sake of your life and the baby in your belly, you have to eat even if you can't eat anymore."

Tears flowed from Wu's eyes again, "Can the child be born?"

"Why can't you give birth? You've only been giving birth for two days and two nights, but some people have given birth after four days and four nights."

Soon, Aunt Ding brought in a bowl of sugar-water eggs.

Mrs. Wu couldn't eat by herself, so Aunt Ding fed her.

Aunt Ding comforted her, "Po Wang is the apprentice of Po Feng, she will definitely be able to take over the child..."

After Mrs. Wu finished her meal, she asked her to drink a bowl of labor-inducing medicine brought by Aunt Wang.

Not long after, Mrs. Wu held her stomach and cried out, "It hurts, it hurts so much..."

Aunt Wang said, "Stand up and grab the stick."

"I don't have the strength to catch it."

"Stand still and think about the baby in your belly."

Mrs. Wu had to use all her strength to grab the wooden stick, while Aunt Xin hugged her tightly from behind.

This position is very painful for the mother, but Feng Chuchen has to admit that it is easier to give birth this way than lying down.

Aunt Wang squatted down and wiped the woman's lower body with warm water to promote the delivery process.

More than two quarters of an hour passed, and there was still no change in my stomach.

Aunt Wang stood up and said, "For the sake of the child, and for your survival, grit your teeth."

Wu opened her eyes and said, "Please, save my child. If you have to choose between the two, save him first."

Aunt Wang said, "We need to protect both of them."

She placed her hands on the woman's belly and began to rub it, occasionally rolling down the big belly with a rolling pin.

The force was so strong that the woman cried out in pain, with a mixture of tears, snot and sweat flowing down.

“Ah~~Ah~~Ah~~”

The sound was horrible, and the big belly was shaking from side to side as it was rubbed.

Savage and violent.

This was the first time Feng Chuchen experienced such a scene in person. She felt it was even more unbearable than the horror movies in her previous life and wanted to vomit.

It took her a while to get used to the situation.

Aunt Wang was busy with her hands and singing a song to induce labor:
Only after the cabinet box was opened did the child dare to go out.

Open the umbrella to block the sky's eye so that the kid can get on the road.

Rolling pin, roll it, kid, hurry up and get on the road.

Ouch, hurry up.
