A domineering country girl flirts with her son, and Commander Huo can't resist.

Guo Caifeng was so frightened she almost wet her pants. She took two steps back and blocked the dining table.

"Are you crazy? What are you trying to do?"

Joan didn't answer her and continued hacking at the gate with all her might.

After several loud crashes, Qiao An ruthlessly chopped down Zeng Fushun's door.

As soon as she entered, she smelled a strong stench of blood.

Turning my head, I saw Xia Xiaoyun clutching her stomach, struggling to crawl out of the bedroom.

She was covered in sweat, and her hair was soaked and stuck to her face.

Qiao An's gaze passed over Xia Xiaoyun's body and saw a long, pale yellow liquid mixed with blood on the ground behind her.

"Jo...Joan, help me!"

Upon seeing Qiao An, Xia Xiaoyun could no longer hold back and burst into tears.

It was as if they had suffered a tremendous injustice.

Instead of going over, Joan turned back into the yard and shouted at the top of her lungs.

"Help! Help! Help me!"

Qiao An's voice was incredibly clear and loud, and soon the lights in the neighboring yard came on.

Li Shaoyun put on his coat and came out to the low wall. By the moonlight, he saw Qiao An standing in Zeng Fushun's yard.

"Joan... what are you doing here?"

Upon seeing Li Shaoyun, Qiao An pointed to the main room, "Sister Shaoyun! Quickly call someone, Xiaoyun is about to give birth, but that old bastard Guo Caifeng is stopping her from going to the hospital!"

"What? Nonsense!"

Li Shaoyun went back into the house and dressed as quickly as possible.

Qi Yunsheng hasn't been home these past few days, and the entire compound is missing more than half of the men.

Li Shaoyun took his two sons to Zeng Fushun's house. He first saw the gate that had been kicked in half, and then the wooden door of the main room that had been chopped apart by a machete. His eyes changed when he looked at Qiao An.

She stepped over the stairs and into the house, where she saw Xia Xiaoyun lying in a pool of blood.

"He's in this state and you still haven't taken him to the hospital! Guo Caifeng, are you trying to kill someone?!"

"Iron Citizens! Iron Army! Quickly, carry him out!"

"Sister Shaoyun, I have a car, please lift me into it!"

"Yes, yes, yes! Hurry!"

Qi Tiemin and Qi Tiejun were both strong young men who had graduated from high school. The two of them directly removed the door panel, put Xia Xiaoyun on it, and lifted her up, one in front and one behind.

Qiao An and Li Shaoyun followed closely behind, while Guo Caifeng muttered curses under her breath as she jogged to catch up.

Qi Tiemin and Qi Tiejun put Xia Xiaoyun in the back seat of the jeep, Qiao An got into the driver's seat, and Li Shaoyun ran to the passenger seat.

Just then, Guo Caifeng plopped down in the back.

"Xia Xiaoyun is a daughter-in-law of the Zeng family. I have to be with her when she gives birth!"

Qiao An ignored her and sped off towards the hospital.

In the middle of the night in Amutu, there were no people or cars on the road. In less than twenty minutes, the jeep drove into the hospital.

"Wait for me, I'll go get someone!"

Li Shaoyun got out of the car and ran to the emergency room. Soon after, several doctors and nurses came out pushing a bed.

They carefully placed Xia Xiaoyun on the bed.

Qiao An and Li Shaoyun followed on either side.

"Qiao An..." Xia Xiaoyun reached out her hand, and Qiao An quickly grasped it.

"Don't go... I'm scared..."

"I'm not leaving. I'll stay here with you. Don't worry, with me here, no one can hurt you!"

Joan whispered in her ear.

The operating room lights came on.

Qiao An and the other two remained in the outer corridor.

She sat down and then realized that her hands were covered in blood.

Li Shaoyun came to her side and said, "I've already sent someone to call Director Feng from the obstetrics and gynecology department. She should be here soon. Let the midwife check if Xiaoyun can have a natural birth."

"She has to have a natural birth," Guo Caifeng suddenly said.

"I've heard that babies born through open surgery either have health problems or are mentally challenged."

"Shut up!" Joanne growled coldly. "Say another word, and I'll kill you!"

Guo Caifeng shrank back, still feeling a bit scared as she recalled the scene of her chopping down the door with a wood-chopping knife.

In fact, besides anger, Joan is now mostly filled with fear.

She had just heard Xia Xiaoyun's screams and seen how much blood she had lost.

Qiao An thought of herself; the original owner's memories of giving birth for the first time were already blurred.

She knew that this was a self-protective mechanism of the female nervous system, which, to put it bluntly, was driven by the body's reproductive instinct.

Joanne realized that she would have to go through the same thing in the near future.

That's terrifying...

Giving birth is truly terrifying.

At that moment, she felt immense regret, regretting why she had gotten pregnant.

What an idiot!

But now that my belly is so big, it's no use regretting it.

Qiao An remained silent for a long time, her expression complex.

More than forty minutes later, Dr. Feng, the head of the obstetrics and gynecology department, put on her surgical gown and came to the operating room.

Li Shaoyun hurriedly stepped forward, "Sister Feng, inside is Commander Zeng's wife from our compound. Thank you for your hard work."

"Okay, I will definitely do my best."

Seeing this, Guo Caifeng interjected, "Doctor, my daughter-in-law can't have surgery! Absolutely not!"

"It depends on the baby's condition. You all wait here while I go in and take a look."

The corridor returned to silence.

Joan also recovered from the panic and fear she had just experienced.

She knew her own physical condition and believed in her luck.

When it comes to children, it's all about fate. She couldn't bring herself to abort the child back then, so now she has to bear the consequences.

But in the future... there absolutely cannot be any more accidents.

Joan made up her mind.

The lights in the corridor kept flickering, just like a person's mood, fluctuating up and down.

Just then, the operating room doors suddenly opened.

Director Feng's hands were covered in blood, and his expression was very serious.

"The baby is in an incorrect position. If you try to deliver vaginally, you are very likely to experience severe bleeding. I recommend an immediate cesarean section."

"Okay! Okay! Let's switch now, don't delay." Li Shaoyun nodded.

"Which one is a family member? The surgery requires a signature." Director Feng said, looking at Qiao An and Guo Caifeng.

"No way!" Guo Caifeng jumped out from the side. "She can't have an open delivery! She has to have a natural birth. Even if she dies today, she has to give birth to my grandson."

"Guo Caifeng! Are you even human? Xiaoyun is in critical condition right now, the priority is to save her life!" Li Shaoyun was so angry that his lips trembled.

"I don't care! Which woman doesn't give birth? Why is she the only one needing surgery? Are you doctors trying to overcharge me? Let me tell you, we don't have any money! Even if we did, we wouldn't allow surgery!"

"Ma'am, if you have a natural birth, both you and the baby might not survive. Only a cesarean section can ensure the safety of both mother and child," Director Feng explained patiently. "You're a family member of the mother, right? If you sign the consent form now, there's a chance that both you and the baby can be saved."

Guo Caifeng withdrew her hand. "I can't read, I won't sign. No matter what you say today, I won't sign."

"It's Xia Xiaoyun's fate that she died. You can marry another wife. There are plenty of women who can have children for my son. We don't need her."

"Guo Caifeng, now is not the time for you to throw a tantrum. Sign it now!" Li Shaoyun was about to swear in anger. In all the years she had lived in the compound, this was the first time she had ever been this angry.

Director Feng watched them with a troubled expression. That's how hospital surgeries are; they can't perform surgery without a family member's signature.

At this moment, Qiao An, who had been silent all along, stood up and kicked Guo Caifeng squarely in the back of the knee.

Guo Caifeng knelt down on the ground with a "bang".
