Er Ya asked Lai Gui fearfully, "Brother, if we don't go to Auntie, will Grandma beat us?"

"He's busy right now and doesn't have time to hit us. Even if he remembers to hit us later, he wouldn't dare to kill us."

"Okay, I'll do whatever my brother says."

Old Mrs. Liu and Huang Lanhua carried Yu Guixiang to the bed. Yu Guixiang's face turned pale. Old Master Liu and Liu Dahu stood outside the door, constantly rubbing their hands.

A moment later, Doctor Wu came running over, panting, carrying a medicine box. When Laifu saw his mother lying on the bed with a pale face, he cried out, "Mother, don't die! Laifu doesn't want you to die! What will happen to me, my younger brother and sister if you die?"

"Those damned Huang family members! I must avenge my mother!"

"Laifu, your great-uncle didn't do it on purpose. Step aside and let Doctor Wu take a look at your mother. Your mother's life is more important than anything else."

Doctor Wu stepped forward, examined her complexion, and took her pulse. "This is not good. Quickly, call a midwife."

"Dr. Wu, what's wrong? You must save Guixiang!"

Our family can't take any more damage.

"I'm afraid the baby can't be saved. Let the midwife come and take a look. If it doesn't work, we'll have to save the mother."

The new mother is breathing very weakly; should you give her ginseng slices to keep her breathing?

"Yes, yes, whatever medicine you have, please use it. You must save the adult's life, otherwise how am I going to explain it to Qingshan when he comes back!"

"Ginseng slices cost 200 coins each."

"Use it first, I'll go find my father to get the money right away."

"Father, Qingshan's wife is in bad shape and needs ginseng slices to keep her alive. Give me one tael of silver first, and Doctor Wu will administer the medicine immediately."

"Wait here, I'll go get it right away."

Grandpa Liu went back to get the money, and Huang Lanhua ran out to ask for a midwife.

Lai Cai, panting, ran to the end of the village and rushed into Da Wang's house. He shouted in the yard, "Auntie, Auntie, where are you? It's me, Lai Cai! Something terrible has happened! Something terrible has happened!"

Just as Qingwu was about to throw the child out, Liu Yiyue came out of the room. "Qingwu, put the child down first. Laicai, what happened?"

"Aunt, my mother was beaten by my maternal uncle and fell down. She's dying now. My grandmother told me to come and get you right away."

Madam Feng and Liu Siyue, who were in the main room, also heard it. "Siyue, look at this?"

"That's their family matter, what does it have to do with me?"

"I'm going out to take a look."

"Mother, you sit down. What are you going out for? You're neither a doctor nor a midwife. What use are you if you go out?"

"The pregnant woman fell, and instead of calling a doctor or a midwife, why did they call my older sister? Can she help her give birth, or can she help her relieve the pain?"

Upon hearing that her sister-in-law was in danger, Liu Yiyue quickly grabbed Lai Cai's hand and tried to follow her. However, after taking only a few steps, she turned back and hurriedly walked towards the main room.

Qingwu was stunned. How did this older sister suddenly become so agile?

"In April, my sister-in-law fell and her life is in danger. You must come with me to see her immediately."

"Big sister, I won't stop you if you want to go, but don't take me with you."

"April? What time is it? Why are you still throwing a tantrum?"

"Who said I was throwing a tantrum? Everything I said was the truth."

"April, you've really disappointed your older sister. What happened to you?"

"What have I become? I've always been like this!"

"Okay, okay, if you won't go, I will. Just don't regret it later."

"What do I have to regret? I don't regret anything at all."

She stormed out of the main room, yelling, "Qingwu, hurry up and get the carriage ready to take me there!"

"I'm sorry, Miss January, the master hasn't given any instructions."

"Alright, alright, all of you."

"Come on, let's go."

"Master, Miss Yiyue just asked me to hitch up a carriage to take her, but I took it upon myself to refuse. Please punish me, Master."

"Why should I punish you? She wanted to use the carriage, so she came to me. What's it to you?"

"I think Miss January is all better now, except she's lost a little weight, you can tell from how briskly she walks."

"I noticed it a long time ago, and I don't know why my older sister has always been so gentle and weak."

"Mother, do you know?"

"Perhaps it's become a habit after being sick for so long, and maybe even she doesn't realize it. Today it was just an instinctive reaction in a moment of panic."

"Okay, even if it was an instinctive reaction in a moment of panic."

Lai Gui led his younger sister to Liu Daniu's house. When the children of Liu Daniu saw the siblings, they greeted them, "Lai Gui, Er Ya, what brings you here? You must not have gone hungry today, right?"

"Uncle, we need to talk to Auntie."

"Oh, you're looking for my mother? Come in, she's inside."

The children in Liu Daniu's family used to dislike these two kids a lot because they would come to their house to freeload every day. But after a while, they saw that the kids were really pitiful, so they didn't dislike them as much anymore.

"Lai Gui Er Ya is here. What brings you to see Third Aunt?"

"Third Aunt, my eldest aunt was beaten by my maternal uncle and fell to the ground. My eldest aunt said her stomach hurts so much!"

Grandma told us to ask our third aunt for help, but we didn't want to. She can't have children or treat illnesses, so it would be useless to ask her. But Grandma still told us to ask her.

Today is my third aunt's big day, and we didn't want to upset her. We weren't sure if we were doing the right thing, and we had nowhere else to go, so we came to visit my third aunt.

"You were right not to go see your third aunt. With so many people around, what would she need to do there?"

"Grandma even sent someone to call Auntie."

"What is your grandmother trying to do? Does she want to make a scene so that everyone knows that this is the work of her brothers?"

"Come on, I'll go with you to the old house. Tell them you ran into me on the way and brought you back. That way, your grandma won't hit you anymore."

The two children were overjoyed and quickly thanked her, "Thank you, Auntie Third, thank you, Auntie Third."

"Qingyun, you take care of the house with your younger siblings. I'm going to the old house."

If I come back late, you'll have to cook for yourselves.

"Okay, Mother."

When Ma Qiao'er and the others arrived, they found quite a few people standing in the courtyard. "Dad, how is Qingshan's wife now?"

"The situation is not good. The midwife is inside delivering the baby, and we don't know if the child can be saved."

The midwife came out with her hands covered in blood. "Dr. Wu, this is no good! The baby can't be delivered. If we delay any longer, it will be a tragedy for both mother and child! And the mother is hemorrhaging badly. You need to go in and check on her quickly."

Dr. Wu stood at the door and said, "Excuse me."

"Human life is at stake, what's the point of being offensive?"

Doctor Wu went in and quickly took the child's pulse. He discovered that the child was beyond saving. He prepared for both possibilities and had already sent someone to prepare the medicine.

Dr. Wu would go to town from time to time to consult Dr. Li of Huichuntang about medical skills. With Dr. Li's guidance, his medical skills improved considerably.

He quickly administered acupuncture to stop the bleeding, and after a quarter of an hour, the bleeding finally stopped.

"Bring the medicine in quickly."

Upon hearing this, Granny Liu quickly brought the medicine in. As soon as Doctor Wu saw the medicine arrive, he instructed her to quickly administer it to the woman in labor.

Huang Lanhua took the medicine bowl and helped Yu Guixiang up. "Guixiang, drink the medicine quickly, saving your life is the most important thing."

Although Yu Guixiang was exhausted, she was still conscious. She didn't want to die, so she immediately opened her mouth and drank the medicine.

A short while later, she felt a sharp pain in her abdomen. Dr. Wu was also very flustered, as this was the first time he had encountered such a situation. He rushed out and said, "Auntie, tell her to push hard and give birth to the baby quickly, then her life will be saved."

"Guixiang, did you hear me? Hurry up and push to give birth to the baby, then your life will be saved."
