Chapter 287 Giving Birth to a Child: Full of Twists and Turns

Everyone thought that since Zhang Shanmei had already given birth once, this pregnancy should be faster.

After struggling for most of the night, the baby still hadn't been born, and even Grandma Qiu was starting to get scared.

Before, whether it was her daughter-in-law, granddaughter-in-law, or even her two great-granddaughters-in-law, Grandma Qiu always delivered their babies, but she never went through this much trouble.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Grandma Qiu quickly said, "We can't wait any longer, we must take him to the clinic immediately."

At this moment, Wang Lihua, the eldest granddaughter-in-law who had been waiting outside, said through the window, "Grandma, let's take her directly to the commune clinic. The farm clinic can't handle this kind of situation."

Aunt Qiu chimed in, "Yes, yes, yes, we should send them to the commune clinic."

In this situation, Grandma Qiu naturally wouldn't stop her: "Send more people, so they can lend a hand if anything happens."

Just as Qiu Shaohe, the youngest son of the eldest son's family, parked the borrowed handcart, his mother brought out an old quilt and, while spreading it out, called into the house, "Shaohu, quickly bring the person out."

Qiu Shaohu was terrified; his mind went completely blank.

After not seeing anyone come out for a while, Aunt Qiu turned around and went back into the house. Seeing her son still standing there, she was furious and punched her second son: "What are you standing there for? Hurry up and carry your wife to the cart outside."

Qiu Shaohu regained some of his senses after being punched by his mother, and quickly bent down to pick her up.

Aunt Qiu, fearing her son might make a mistake, stayed close by his side.

Originally, Qiu's mother wanted to go too, but Qiu's great-grandmother stopped her: "We can't leave someone at home. Someone needs to make breakfast tomorrow morning."

Aunt Qiu also said, "Second sister-in-law, my eldest son's wife and I can go. Just listen to Grandma's arrangements. I'll also trouble you to cook early tomorrow and have someone deliver it to my second son's wife so that she can have milk." Qiu's mother nodded in agreement, "Okay, I understand, sister-in-law."

After watching the group walk away, Grandma Qiu said to the rest of the family, "Alright, everyone go back to your rooms and sleep. You have to go to work tomorrow."

What was unexpected was that when they were at the commune health center, the hospital staff on duty there dared not keep anyone. There were originally two capable doctors, but one of them had recently gone to the province for training, and the other had some family troubles a few days ago, which affected her. They didn't know where she was now.

The remaining doctors were all men, and more importantly, they weren't skilled in this area. Plus, her condition wasn't good, so the doctor on duty didn't dare to take the risk.

The Qiu family dared not linger and had no choice but to head to the county.

Fortunately, the eldest son's family all went along, otherwise just pulling the cart would have been a problem. The eldest son's third son took turns pulling the cart, afraid of wasting time, and everyone was running.

Zhang Shanmei's shouts were quite loud at first, but they gradually grew softer and softer, which terrified her family. Qiu's mother kept shaking Zhang Shanmei, afraid that she would fall asleep.

When he arrived at the county hospital, he was in a terrible state, which startled the doctor on duty.

Fortunately, the doctor on duty was a chief physician. After examining the patient, he explained the situation to everyone: a natural birth was no longer possible, and a cesarean section was the only option to save the baby; otherwise, both the mother and child would be in danger.

Aunt Qiu was so frightened that her legs went weak, but she had no choice but to listen to the doctor.

They left in a hurry and didn't expect that surgery would be necessary. They had to pay part of the money first and let Qiu's father and son Qiu Shaohe go back to get the money so that they could take the person into the operating room first.
