sister-in-law

Chapter 56
Gu Zhang came here when his sister was married, and later his brother-in-law Wang Laichun always came to the house to ask for things, and Gu Zhang annoyed him so much that he didn't come here often.

Father Gu Hongjun fell ill again, and this family couldn't do without him.

Entering the fenced yard of Gu Lan's mother-in-law's house, there are three thatched cottages, which don't look better than Gu Zhang's house.

In the main room sat a few elderly women, drinking water and chatting.

From the room on the east side, there were a few low howls from time to time, and it seemed to be Gu Lanniang's room.

It is said that the room on the west side was occupied by Wang Laichun's younger sister. The family of five squeezed into three thatched huts, and they were not well off.

As he was walking in, a middle-aged woman suddenly came out of the main room, her half-grey hair was tied into a bun, and there was no headgear on it.

His complexion is a bit gray, with high cheekbones, thick eyebrows, big eyes, thin lips, and a sharp face.Doesn't look like a good match.

I heard her shouting into the east room: "Why can't it work? It is more difficult to give birth to a child than a hen to lay an egg!"

In the room, several women laughed when they heard this, and someone raised his voice: "Aunt Wang, your comparison is too good. How can that person be compared with a hen."

The woman just let out a cold snort, without any joy on her face, she knocked on the door of the east room resentfully, "I think when I was born in spring, I didn't even invite a lady Wen, but I came down within half an hour. It's gone. Look at the delicate daughter-in-law, even the old lady has come, and she's still dawdling there."

As soon as she finished speaking, she seemed to hear something, the woman looked towards the door, and saw a young man and woman coming in with something.

The woman recognized Gu Zhang, and when she saw her daughter-in-law's natal family coming, she became annoyed, not at all ashamed of what she said just now, and pointed at Gu Zhang, "Your natal family also knows that someone is coming?"

As a man, Gu Zhang is not good at arguing with his sister's mother-in-law. At this time, Su Ruoli just used it.

So she pursed her lips, walked forward with a smile, didn't even look at the woman, and asked with a smile: "The aunt didn't tell us, how would we know that my sister is going to give birth today? An empty room is idle, we can come and live in advance."

The woman choked on one sentence, her face turned red, she pointed her hand at Su Ruoli, speechless.

A girl a few years older than Su Ruoli walked out of the room, her face was five or six points similar to this woman, she should be Gu Lanniang's sister-in-law.

As soon as she saw the things in Gu Zhang and Su Ruoli's hands, the corners of her mouth split open, and she came to pick them up, "Mother, since you are from my sister-in-law's natal family, let them come in for a glass of water. Come on, It’s tiring to carry things all the way, so leave them to me.”

This sister-in-law is really good at talking, but her eyes are rolling around, only circling on the things in her hands.

Su Ruoli pursed her lips and smiled, without letting go of her hands, and said with a smile: "We are here to see my sister, how can we care about drinking water?" With a clever move of his hand, Miss Gu Lanniang was caught in the air.

She greeted Gu Zhang, "Give me something, I'll go in and see my sister, you wait outside."

Gu Zhang nodded silently and handed the things to her.

With his hands full of things, Su Ruoli walked into Gu Lanniang's room calmly under the salivating gaze of Miss Gu Lanniang.

Gu Lanniang's mother-in-law, Wang Baishi, came to her senses and shouted loudly, "A little girl like you can enter the delivery room?"

Gu Lanniang's sister-in-law, Wang Hong'er, was even more unwilling to be left behind, watching helplessly as the things were brought into her sister-in-law's room, and followed in with itching.

A small thatched hut, facing the window is a small earthen kang, on the floor are two worn-out chairs and a broken kang table with mottled black paint, and three adults are stuffed in, the room is suddenly dark, I can't get down.

Su Ruoli got used to the light in the room, and then saw a woman in her 50s standing in front of the kang, presumably she was the midwife Wang Bai said she had invited.

At this moment, the woman didn't care how many people came in, she just urged Gu Lanniang, "Put hard, if you don't push hard, the child will be suffocated in the stomach." At the same time, she probed to break Gu Lanniang's leg.

Behind him, Wang Bai yelled, "Oh, why is it so slow to have a baby? Hurry up?"

Su Ruoli turned her head and glared at Wang Baishi, wondering if all the mother-in-laws in the world can't be like this?It is estimated that if she gave birth to a child, Luo Shi would have to look like this.

The midwife just went to check, busy around Gu Lanniang, ignoring the other people in the room.

Gu Lanniang clutched the bed sheet tightly with both hands, the straw covered under her body was stained red by her blood, her forehead was so painful that there were bead-sized beads of sweat, but she bit her lower lip desperately, Keep silent!
This woman is too hot.

As a doctor, Su Ruoli knows how painful it is for a pregnant woman to give birth!
She stepped forward lightly, wiped the sweat from Gu Lanniang's forehead with her sleeves, and said with a soft smile, "Sister, Gu Zhang and I watched you come. Take care of yourself, and we will watch by the side."

Upon hearing this, Gu Lanniang, whose eyes were already blurred with tears, opened her eyes and glanced at her, then smiled slightly.

She was exhausted, and there was no way to talk to her.

The midwife kept urging Gu Lanniang, telling her to work harder.

But no matter how hard Gu Lanniang tried, the child in her stomach could not see half of her head showing.

Su Ruoli couldn't help feeling a little anxious, could it be that the fetal position is not right, or the umbilical cord of the fetus is wrapped around the neck?Otherwise, why can't this child come down?
If you really encounter such a problem, you will die.With such poor medical conditions in ancient times, it might not be easy to perform caesarean section?

She was silent, silently observing.

The midwife suddenly yelled loudly at this time, "What should I do? The baby can't come out, and it will suffocate to death after a long time."

When Wang Baishi heard this, she became anxious, pulled the midwife's sleeve and said anxiously: "Then think of a way, I can't let my eldest grandson suffocate to death in the stomach."

Seeing how she only knew that she had a grandson but not a daughter-in-law, Su Ruoli was inexplicably angry.

Could it be that all the ancient mothers-in-law were like this?Why did she meet one, and Gu Lanniang also met one?
The midwife was a little flustered, thought for a moment, then curled her lips pretendingly, "There is no way, it depends on your old Wang family's reluctance."

"Oh, why don't you tell me quickly at this juncture? What is the solution, what are we reluctant to part with?" Wang Bai's monkey asked anxiously.

Su Ruoli's eyes flashed, and she looked sideways at the midwife.Is there something bad about this old thing?

Sure enough, the midwife pinched her chin with a skinny hand, exposing her two yellowed front teeth, and said: "There is a way, it depends on your old Wang Jiabao, or the child."

As soon as the words fell to the ground, Wang Baishi nodded hastily, "Of course I will protect the child, this is the blood of our old Wang family."

Regardless of when Gu Lanniang was giving birth, when she was the most vulnerable both physically and psychologically, she leaned down and asked, "Lanniang, do you think so? The child is smothered in your stomach, right?"

Without waiting for Gu Lanniang's reaction, Wang Bai said hypocritically: "Don't worry, the child will not suffer a disadvantage if he follows me. In the future, even if he remarries in the spring, with me as a grandmother, he will not let the stepmother Stay away."

Su Ruoli just stood aside, listening to Wang Bai's utterly emotionless words, she wished she could step up and slap the old godly woman in the face!
Gu Lanniang is a member of their Gu family, so her natal family will stand in front of her, okay?Wouldn't it work if their Gu family members were all dead?

After Wang Bai finished explaining, she pouted at the midwife, "You can hear clearly, our old Wang family wants a child!"

I was afraid that people would not hear me, so I repeated the phrase "I want a child" loudly!
It will be on the shelves tomorrow, thank you for being with me all the time, after it is on the shelves, I will consider double updates for a while, everyone can rest assured.Hope to support the original version, thank you.
