Chapter 381 - 0381 Mother-in-law and Daughter-in-law Relationship 1_1
On the day of the fishing, Feng Qingxue was not home. She had left early in the morning to assist with a childbirth at the neighboring production brigade.
Feng Qingxue was unfamiliar with the name of the expectant mother. The neighbor who came to fetch her didn’t discuss the details, only mentioning that Gousheng’s wife had been in pain since the middle of the night. Unable to bear her cries, they sought Feng Qingxue’s help, given her reputation and the close proximity of the two production brigades.
Upon arrival, Feng Qingxue saw that the woman’s situation was far from good.
No, it was dire.
The woman had allowed her health to deteriorate over time due to malnourishment. The fetus’s heartbeat was gradually slowing down. While her birth canal was open, she lacked the strength to give birth. According to the woman, she hadn’t even been able to eat anything hot or filling since the morning.
"We must cook for the mother, so she has the strength to deliver." Feng Qingxue said.
Upon hearing this, the grandmother who usually brought hot water merely sighed deeply, never responding. Gousheng stood afar, outside the straw pavilion, like a statue, as if he were deaf. The mother and son didn’t budge at all.
Indeed, they had a straw-roofed house, yet in the dead of winter, they forced their daughter-in-law to deliver in a straw shack.
