Chapter 167: Can only one be saved?
As she was thinking about all this, she walked up to Liu Yingcai and others.
Seeing that she was in a bad mood, Liu Yingcai waved his hand in front of her and asked, "What happened? Why are you so scared?"
Liu Xiaoxiao seemed to have just come to her senses. She grabbed Liu Yingcai's hand, which had just been waving in front of her, and said, "Grandpa, someone over there is having a difficult birth. The midwife said the baby is in an abnormal position. Doctor Chen has been asked to come over, but we don't know if it will be able to be born safely."
Zhufu, who was standing by and also waiting for her news, heard that she had a difficult birth and sighed helplessly, saying, "Giving birth is like walking through the gates of hell. I hope that after Doctor Chen goes, she can have a smoother delivery!"
Liu Yingcai nodded in agreement, then asked, "Hasn't your grandma said someone was about to give birth? Could this baby be premature? Xiaoxiao, do you know who it is?"
Liu Xiaoxiao nodded and said, "I know. It's Li Lan that grandma visited two days ago."
Liu Yingcai was surprised at first, then asked, "Ah! It's her! Does your grandmother know about this?"
Liu Xiaoxiao replied, "I haven't told her yet, but she should know! After all, so many people have seen it, I'm sure grandma has heard about it too."
Sure enough, just after Liu Xiaoxiao and the others finished talking, Grandma Liu came over.
She was probably in a hurry to get over there, so she put down her apron, grabbed Liu Xiaoxiao's hand and said, "Xiao girl, do you have any herbs that can help pregnant women have children?"
Liu Xiaoxiao was confused by the question. What medicine can pregnant women take? What kind of medicine is it? She didn't know! And when she was stocking up on medicine, she didn't think of stocking up specifically for pregnant women.
Seeing that the old woman was so anxious that she was at a loss, Liu Yingcai actually asked a little girl if there was any medicine for pregnant women.
To ease Liu Xiaoxiao's embarrassment, he stepped forward and patted Grandma Liu on the back, comforting her: "Don't worry. How could she, a child, possibly have those medicines? Besides, she doesn't know which medicines pregnant women can and cannot take!"
Grandma Liu finally came to her senses. Yes! She must have been too anxious to ask such a question.
Fortunately, Xiaoxiao didn't answer. She patted Liu Xiaoxiao's hand and said, "Grandma was just too anxious. Don't take it too seriously. Since there's nothing, forget it. I'll go check it out first."
When Liu Xiaoxiao saw her grandmother was about to leave, she had wanted to go over too, but she had been stopped by her grandfather. Now was the perfect opportunity, so she quickly said, "Grandma, I'll go with you!"
After saying that, afraid that Grandma Liu would object, she added, "Don't worry, I'll just wait outside and won't go in. If Doctor Chen needs anything, you can come out and tell me immediately, and I'll see if I have it."
Grandma Liu hesitated for a moment, thinking that as long as she didn't go in and see anything, it shouldn't be a problem. After all, human life was at stake, so she agreed.
When they arrived, they heard the person holding the curtain outside ask, "Aunt Zhang, are you bringing your granddaughter in?"
Grandma Liu explained: "No, Xiaoxiao won't go in. She just doesn't feel comfortable letting me come here alone, so just let her wait for me outside."
After hearing what she said, the person who had just asked the question said with a look of astonishment, "That's good."
After saying that, he added quietly, "To be frank, I think it's futile for you to go in. We just heard Doctor Chen inside asking them whether to save the older one or the younger one! It looks like one of them is going to die."
Liu Xiaoxiao didn't expect that the situation here had become so serious just after she returned.
After hearing this, Zhang Xiujuan walked in without any hesitation.
She thought about how many children her two daughters-in-law had and how she, as the mother-in-law, had helped to look after them. Now she was going in to do her bit to help. Moreover, she still held out a glimmer of hope that the situation inside was not as serious as they said.
