Chapter 37: Premature Birth
Chi Xinru took a deep breath to calm down and asked, "Xin Xin, do you know how to deliver a baby?"
Hearing this question, Duan Yixin nodded and said, "I know. What’s wrong? Is someone going to give birth now?"
Seeing her calm expression, Chi Xinru held her hands and said, "There is an elder sister near my home. Her husband was killed when the bandits attacked our village a few days ago. Due to shock and sadness, she was going to give birth prematurely and had been in pain since last night. Because there were still two months before the due date, she hadn’t found a midwife yet. Can you help her deliver the baby?"
Duan Yixin thought for a moment and said, "Wait for me. I go get my medicine box."
After saying that, she quickly returned to her bedroom. Before leaving, she took some emergency medicines from the warehouse and put them in the medicine box. After making sure that she had already packed all the basic items and medicines, Duan Yixin closed the medicine box.
After leaving the bedroom, she thought of the pot of medicinal porridge and hurried to the kitchen. After putting the pot of medicinal porridge into the warehouse, she went to the front yard.
Seeing her coming with the medicine box, Chi Xinru said, "Let’s go."
When the two left Duan Yixin’s house, the sky just started to change color. Duan Yixin and Chi Xinru arrived twenty minutes later.
Before they could take a breath, Madam Chi saw them coming. She quickly pulled Duan Yixin and said anxiously, "Xin Xin, hurry up! Wen Niang can’t hold on anymore!"
