Chapter 261 - 0261: Giving Birth in the Countryside 1_1
Who is Xiuying? She’s Jin Cuihua’s sister-in-law, her full name is Niu Xiuying.
Jin Cuihua’s husband is the eldest, while Xiuying’s husband is the fifth youngest. Out of all the sisters-in-law, they are the closest. When Cuihua heard that Xiuying was about to give birth, she was the first one to run to find Feng Qingxue.
Their production team only had one midwife, who was skilled but had a very high mortality rate.
Despite this, everyone sought her out, because there were very few people in this profession, a profession that was considered to be lowly in the old times.
Now, the midwife was also getting old. Her hands were not as steady when delivering babies, and sometimes she couldn’t be found. Many women ended up giving birth at home, relying on the childbirth experience of their older female relatives.
Life or death, it was all up to fate.
This is Niu Xiuying’s third child. The first was a girl who survived. The second, a boy, didn’t make it and died less than ten days after his birth.
Feng Qingxue rushed over with Jin Cuihua. On the way, she instructed Lu Tianjun to hurry home and fetch the medical kit with a red cross on it from her wardrobe, and two thermos filled with hot water.
The medical kit was given to her by Dr. Guo before she left the military hospital.
Since she was intent on studying medicine, she couldn’t be without the usual medical supplies, so Dr. Guo and several nurses from the hospital who had taught her, gathered all the necessary materials and put them in the kit.
"And bring our new toilet too!"
