Yu Guixiang obediently cooperated and pushed, finally giving birth to the child. However, the child made no sound, its face was bluish-purple, and it only had a faint breath.

When everyone saw that it was a boy, they thought, "What a pity, what a real pity."

The moment Yu Guixiang gave birth to her child, she fainted from exhaustion.

Huang Lanhua was holding her newborn child when someone outside called out, "Dr. Wu, come in quickly and take a look at the baby and Guixiang."

With lives at stake, Dr. Wu had no choice but to grit his teeth and enter the room, which was filled with a strong smell of blood.

He glanced at Yu Guixiang lying on the bed and quickly took her pulse. "She's fine, she just fainted from exhaustion. She'll wake up naturally once she regains some strength."

"It's good that everyone is alright, it's good that everyone is alright, come and see the child."

When Dr. Wu looked at the child, his face was bluish-purple. He checked the child's breathing and found it to be barely perceptible. He couldn't feel the child's heartbeat when he touched the chest, and he couldn't even feel the pulse in the child's thin arms.

After several attempts, switching between his left and right hands, he finally felt a faint pulse in the child. He shook his head and sighed, "The child is most likely dying, just clinging to his last breath. I'm powerless to save him. If you still have a sliver of hope, take the child to Doctor Li at Huichuntang in town for treatment, but..."

"But what? Dr. Wu, tell me quickly!"

"The child has been in the womb for too long and his face has turned bluish-purple. Even if he is saved, the child will be mentally challenged and will be born weak and sickly."

Old Mrs. Liu wiped away her tears. "Then let's not torment the child anymore. Let him go in peace. Even if he were to live on, he would only suffer in the future."

Huang Lanhua wrapped the child in a cloth and carried him to the yard for Liu Dahu and the others to see. "Dad, husband, take a look at your little grandson. After you've seen him, let the child go in peace."

Grandpa Liu and Liu Dahu were both furious, but when they saw their silent grandson, their eyes reddened.

Liu Dahu raised his hand and slapped Huang Lanhua, making her stagger and almost drop her child.

"Huang, your family harmed my Liu family's offspring. I will settle this score with you sooner or later."

"Grandpa, we must not let the Huang family get away with this! We must avenge my mother and younger brother!"

"Master, Laifu, they didn't do it on purpose. It really was just an accident."

"Grandma, even now, you're still protecting them. The child you're holding in your arms is your own grandson, my own brother."

My younger brother was killed by them, and this revenge must be taken. If you want to let the Huang family go, I will go to my maternal grandparents and ask them to avenge my mother and younger brother.

"Laifu, you can't think like that. You were there at the time. It was your mother who first scolded your great-uncle for being shameless, and your great-uncle only hit her because he was angry."

"To say that your mother and younger brother ended up like this is actually all your fault. You, a little kid, talked back to your great-uncle, and all he did was pat your bottom, and you ran to your mother to complain, causing this disaster."

Huang Lanhua just wants to suppress this matter now. The child is already dead, and she can't let the living suffer any more. What if they go to her parents' house and cause trouble?

"Grandma, you only think about your own family and don't care about us Liu family members at all."

My mother lies in bed, her life hanging in the balance, my younger brother's body barely cold, yet you're still defending your family. I'm utterly disappointed. You're no longer my grandmother.

Dr. Wu felt overwhelmed by the family's bickering. He just wanted to collect his consultation fee and leave as soon as possible. He called Old Lady Liu aside and said, "Auntie, Qingshan's wife barely survived this childbirth. She lost a lot of blood and her body is severely weakened. If she doesn't take good care of herself, she may suffer from a host of health problems in the future."

I'll prescribe five days' worth of medicine first. I don't have any of these medicines at home, so you'll have to go to the clinic in town to get them. One dose each morning and evening.

The new mother is weak, so give her plenty of good food and make sure the charcoal brazier in the room is burning brightly so she doesn't catch a cold.

"Okay, I've got it."

"The consultation fee plus the medicine cost, let's give you 500 coins in total."

"Okay, I'll go get the money for you right away."

Old Mrs. Liu gave 500 coins to Doctor Wu, who took the money and left quickly, not wanting to get involved in their family's troubles.

As soon as Dr. Wu left, Ma Qiao'er quickly followed suit, afraid that they would order her around again. Several neighbors nearby also wisely left immediately.

Everyone in the courtyard had left, leaving only their family. Lai Gui, pulling his younger sister, was so frightened that they quickly hid inside the house, afraid that their grandparents would be angry and beat them.

"Brother, they're all so scary! I'm frightened!"

"Er Ya, don't be afraid. Your brother is here to protect you."

"Brother, I miss Mom and Aunt." The brother and sister hugged each other tightly, silently shedding tears.

"Father, Mother, husband, things have come to this, so don't be sad. Be careful not to hurt yourselves. What will happen to this family if you fall ill?"

The child is gone. I'll pack his things, and then you can send him away so he can be laid to rest and reincarnate into a better life.

Grandpa Liu turned and went back to his room. Da Hu and Grandma Liu quickly followed. "Old man, Dr. Wu said he prescribed some medicine and told us to go to town to get it. Who do you think we should go get it?"

"This medicine probably isn't cheap. Do we have enough money?"

"Isn't the eldest girl over there? Have her go to the end of the village to fetch the horse-drawn carriage, and you can give her the prescription."

Old Mrs. Liu's eyes lit up. That's right, how could she have forgotten about this?

"I'll make a wooden box for the child so he can leave this world with some dignity."

"Okay, go ahead."

Grandpa Liu felt physically and mentally exhausted, so he went back to his room and lay down on the bed.

Huang Lanhua took out the little clothes that Yu Guixiang had made for the child from the cabinet, cleaned the child's body, put the clothes on one by one, wrapped the child in a piece of cloth, and tied the straps.

She looked distressed. How did things turn out this way? If things escalate, would the Yu family let her family off the hook?

Seeing her mother's sorrowful face, Liu Yiyue gently comforted her, "Mother, please accept my condolences. The child has passed away, but thankfully my sister-in-law's life has been saved. Let the child rest in peace first."

Old Mrs. Liu heard the mother and daughter talking outside the door, coughed lightly, and went in. "Eldest daughter."

"Grandma."

"With your older brother gone, your sister-in-law suffered a lot during childbirth. Dr. Wu said she needs to be well cared for and recuperate, otherwise she'll suffer from many health problems later. She also needs to take good care of herself."

"Yes, my sister-in-law has suffered terribly this time. I don't know if she can bear it when she wakes up and finds out that she lost her child."

"Dr. Wu prescribed medicine and told us to go to town to get it. Look at our family now, we have old people and young children, and we don't even have anyone who can run errands."

Your grandfather means that you should go to the end of the village and take a horse-drawn cart over so that you can get the medicine from the town faster.

Here's the prescription, and here's 200 coins for you.

Liu Yiyue thought about it and agreed. Her grandparents were getting old, her grandfather's legs were like that, and he also had to take care of her sister-in-law, so they couldn't leave at all. She had no choice but to handle this matter herself.

She took the prescription but refused the 200 coins. "Grandma, keep the money. Use it to buy some eggs for your sister-in-law in the village so she can have some nourishment. I'm going to town to get the medicine."

"My dear girl, we are so lucky to have you in our family, otherwise we really wouldn't know what to do."

"Such a big thing happened at home, and you haven't even come back to see me once in August."

"Grandma, she just got married today in August, so don't bother her and make her suffer at her in-laws' house."
