Have you studied Chapter 530 before?
"Sister-in-law, snap out of it!" Just then, a clear female voice rang in my ears, and a familiar face came into view again.
Cai Shitou's wife's eyes regained their clarity. "Boss, I'll listen to you."
Lin Chang'er nodded, "Don't overthink it."
"Okay, I won't think about it too much!"
After comforting the new mother, Lin Chang'er turned to look at the old doctor. In both her lives combined, she only had the experience of taking care of her second sister-in-law when she gave birth to Yudian. If she were to take charge of any major situation, she definitely wouldn't be able to do it.
The old woman doctor remained calm and composed, even as if the sky were falling, but she deftly disinfected the silver needles.
Meeting Lin Chang'er's gaze, he directly ordered her, "Keep your hand steady, I'll tell you the acupoints, and you insert the needles."
Lin Chang'er didn't hesitate, "I'll disinfect it with strong liquor, and you cut a slice of ginseng for your sister-in-law to hold in her mouth."
"No need, I can, I'm fine..." Cai Shitou's wife was now fully conscious. Ginseng was not something she could use.
Unfortunately, her opinion didn't matter. The old woman cut a piece of ginseng and pressed it under Cai's tongue, saying, "It's not some century-old ginseng, but your boss can afford to consume it."
Before Sister-in-law Cai could say anything more, Lin Chang'er, who had already washed her hands with strong liquor and put on sheepskin gloves, said solemnly, "Let's begin!"
Next, the time that should have been dominated by the healer was handed over to Lin Chang'er.
Ever since she became acquainted with the old woman doctor, whenever there was a need for acupuncture or stitches, the old woman doctor would leave it all to Lin Chang'er.
They treated her like an apprentice, using her like a beast of burden, and Lin Chang'er was quite happy about it.
Although I left my clinical post due to a medical dispute, I feel that saving even one life is a bonus.
Lin Chang'er had already memorized the human acupoint chart perfectly, and working with the old doctor made things much easier.
However, the process of the fetus turning into the correct position takes time, and it is also necessary to prevent the possibility of umbilical cord entanglement during this process.
About half an hour later, the baby's position finally returned to normal, and the baby's head could be seen.
Outside, the Cai family mother and son were already anxiously waiting, but because Lin Chang'er was inside, they dared not urge her no matter how anxious they were. Cai Shitou sat on the steps under the eaves, holding his head in his hands, his legs trembling inexplicably.
Aunt Cai tucked her hands behind her back, craned her neck and strained to peer into the house, holding her breath so hard that you could barely hear her breathing.
Finally, a voice came from inside the house saying, "She's been born."
The Cai family mother and son paused, and Cai Shitou immediately stood up, grasped his mother's hand, and said, "Mother, my wife has given birth."
Aunt Cai nodded excitedly, "She gave birth! She gave birth! That's wonderful!"
But they weren't told to go in, so the mother and son held hands and waited for Lin Chang'er to call for help.
But the next moment, an elderly voice was heard, "What's wrong? Why isn't the child crying?"
"Let me see……"
Aunt Cai and Cai Shitou both stared wide-eyed. Cai Shitou held his mother's hands tightly. "Mom, what does it mean if I don't cry?"
A flicker of fear crossed Aunt Cai's eyes. "Don't cry, don't cry... No, it can't be..."
There was a noise coming from inside the house. "The baby might have blocked amniotic fluid. Give me a bamboo tube and tell the people outside not to come in yet."
It was Lin Chang'er who spoke.
The old woman doctor deftly found a bamboo tube for Lin Chang'er and called out to the outside, "Wait outside first."
His words remained devoid of emotion.
“Mother,” Cai Shitou’s heart jumped into his throat, and a voice in his mind was screaming for him to rush in.
"Mother, I can't wait any longer..."
No matter what, he had to go in.
Cai Shitou let go of his elderly mother's hand and tried to rush inside without a second thought.
Aunt Cai hugged his arm tightly, "Shitou, didn't you hear the boss say to wait?"
"But what's going on inside? I can't wait any longer..."
"We still have to wait. What can you do by barging in like this? What can you do besides cause trouble?"
Aunt Cai glared at her son and lowered her voice, "Don't forget, the head of the household personally helped with the delivery. The midwife didn't care anymore. Originally, it was a difficult birth, and neither the mother nor the child could be saved. Now, no matter what, the mother can be saved."
"Maybe the big boss still has a way to save the child. What if you interfere like this? Won't you regret it?"
“Mother…” Cai Shitou, a grown man, had tears in his eyes.
Aunt Cai's tone softened, "My son, one should always remember where one's blessings come from, and never let the well-digger feel disheartened."
Cai Shitou's shoulders slumped, and he softly pulled his arms away from his mother's embrace, then squatted down with his head in his hands.
Aunt Cai sighed softly. How could she not feel sorry for him?
How could they not feel heartache? Whether it's a boy or a girl, they are the first grandchild in their family.
In today's situation, it's already difficult to save even the big ones.
"Wow...wow..."
Suddenly, a loud baby's cry rang out in the room, followed by Lin Chang'er's laughter, "This little guy, he's finally crying."
"Stone, stone!" This time it was Aunt Cai's turn to get agitated. She grabbed her son and cried, "You're crying, you're crying?"
Cai Shitou's eyes were wide open, and he didn't recover for a long time.
Lin Chang'er came out of the house and said, "Congratulations, mother and daughter are safe and sound!"
"Really?" Cai Shitou finally came to his senses.
Lin Chang'er nodded, "First it blooms, then it bears fruit. Let's go in and see your sister-in-law and the child!"
Lin Chang'er, her hands still stained with blood, lifted her foot and walked towards the well.
Aunt Cai hurriedly followed, helping to fetch water while expressing her gratitude, "Thanks to the boss, my Cai family will never forget your kindness for generations to come."
Lin Chang'er washed her hands. "I just happened to hear that Cai Shitou was doing work for me, so how could I not help him?"
"My sister-in-law has a good temperament, and her daughter will be just like her. She will definitely be a dutiful and filial daughter in the future."
"When she turns three or five, her father can take her to Linshui Village to attend school. If her father works hard, he might be able to settle down in Linshui Village in the future, which would be even more convenient."
Of course, besides Cai Shitou having to work hard, the most important prerequisite is that they have to take good care of their daughter at home.
Aunt Cai nodded repeatedly, "Girls are just as good. Besides, our daughter is lucky to have met the big boss. I will definitely give Shi Tou a good talking-to. Right now, so many people from all around are desperate to get into Linshui Village, but no one has any connections."
Lin Chang'er pursed her lips, "As long as your daughter's father works hard, he'll find a way."
"Alright, alright, this old woman thanks the boss on behalf of our daughter."
Lin Chang'er smiled slightly, "Auntie, don't bother, go check on your sister-in-law and the child first!"
"Okay, okay..." Aunt Cai's mouth stretched almost to her ears as she put down the ladle she was using to scoop water and hurried into the room.
The old woman doctor also came out, and Lin Chang'er took over Cai Da Niang's job, washing her hands with hot water.
The old woman was washing slowly when she suddenly looked up at Lin Chang'er and asked, "Have you studied this before?"
"Huh?" Lin Chang'er looked completely bewildered by the question. "What? What did you learn?"
"Delivering the baby," the old woman said calmly, her tone revealing no emotion.
