Zhou's side calmed down after a long while, of course, the strong stimulation of Fu Jiujiu's acupuncture points also cleared her mind.

"Mother..."

Tian Guihua had also been to the Ghost Gate, so even though her eldest daughter-in-law wasn't her biological child, she still felt heartache for her at this moment.

"Here you go, child, take a breath, let's try again." Tian Guihua quickly grabbed her hand, soothingly comforting her like she was a child.

Ms. Xu is angry that this family lets some clueless kid get involved.

But, I have to say, Old Fu is truly righteous.

She's seen this kind of situation many times, and she doesn't know how many families just choose a child without even thinking about it.

The Fu family is wealthy, and Fu Dajin hasn't had a child in several years. Under these circumstances, it's impossible to choose an adult, so she kept asking one question after another.

"Mother... Am I going to... die?"

"Nonsensical!" Tian Guihua clutched her hand tightly, "What will Da Jin do if you die? The child would be so pitiful without a mother?"

"Good child, don't overthink it. Jiujiao and Wujin learned a skill. Think about it, even the County Magistrate's wife let our Jiujiao give her an injection, which means our Jiujiao is capable. Don't be afraid. Ask your Aunt Xu, back then wasn't I much worse off than you?"

Xu Daniu was taken aback by the question, but she quickly understood what Tian Guihua meant. "Yes, don't be afraid, your child hasn't come out yet, your mother's babies all came out feet first back then, that was scary."

Outside, the clamor and commotion had died down. Inside, people continued to encourage Zhou Shi, cheering her on. After drinking the ginseng soup made with spiritual spring water, Zhou Shi felt a little strength returning from the soles of her feet.

Zhou thought about pushing, but her baby was breech and she couldn't push yet.

"Aunt Xu, can you turn the baby?"

Xu Daniu was stunned again. The little dumpling in front of her was only a little over two years old, and she had personally delivered her. But no matter how she looked at it, this little girl seemed more experienced than her?

Turning the baby, that's quite a skill.

She didn't dare, for if things went wrong, the child might die in her womb. Besides, a breech presentation during labor was even more difficult to handle.

"I can't do it," Xu Da's mother said, not daring to be arrogant at this moment.

"Fu JiuJiu wiped the sweat from her forehead, "I'll teach you."

Generally, when labor begins, it's not possible to change the baby's position because the baby's head has already entered the pelvis and its position is set.

But Zhou shi belongs to a small minority, she is about to give birth, the baby hasn't dropped yet, so it's still worth a try.

Xu Dalian was inexplicably intimidated by the aura of the little dumpling. She walked over without saying a word.

Xu Daniu's hand touched Zhou's big belly and quickly retracted as if she had touched fire. "I... I dare not."

Fu Jiu Jiu doesn't have that much strength, otherwise she could do it herself. Human life is at stake, she already doesn't care about exposing her identity, as for what to say, let's think about it after both people are safe.

"Don't be afraid."

It's strange to say, but despite Xu Da-niang's inner fear and trembling hands, after being patted on the shoulder by the little dumpling and seeing her calm and resolute gaze, it wasn't so terrifying anymore.

The little dumpling held her hand and placed it on Zhou's big belly, muttering methods in her mouth, letting her move slowly.

The reason for choosing Granny Xu over Tian Guihua, who was bolder, is that Granny Xu had delivered many babies after all. Her skills were unmatched by Tian Guihua.

After about a minute, Xu Da's mother finally dared to take deep breaths.

"My God, it actually... it actually turned around."

Everyone present also let out a sigh of relief. Zhou quickly asked, "Auntie, I... I couldn't hold it any longer."

Xu Da's mother took two deep breaths, "I can't help it, I just gave birth. Don't be afraid, it's alright."

Tian Guihua and Wu glanced at each other, Wu couldn't help but shed tears, she didn't know if it was from fear or joy.

Soon, a baby's loud cry echoed through the house.

Zhou Pozi closed her eyes tightly, and Song Shi on the side once again spoke in a disheartened tone, "It's over, it's over, the child is born, then my third sister is definitely going to die."

"Mother, my poor third sister, how can she be so unfortunate." Song sobbed and collapsed onto the ground.

Zhou also cried along, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were both loud, arguing so fiercely that people's ears hurt.

"The Fu family is heartless! They took advantage of their young daughter being the county magistrate's goddaughter and callously took a life, killing my daughter!"

Fu Baimian frowned, there was no movement inside, and they started crying out?

It's hard not to suspect that their purpose is really to worry about the eldest daughter-in-law and the child, or maybe they're afraid of coming late and missing out on the money.

"Oh, Big Gold! Congratulations! It's a son, a real boy."

"Auntie Xu, my daughter-in-law..." M..

"Well then, raising such a big son must be tiring, right?" Aunt Xu handed the wrapped baby to Fu Dakin and glanced at him. "Look at him, he's really not small, probably ten pounds."

"Hehe, it's good that my wife is fine." Fu Dajin glanced at the child and peered inside.

The little dumpling went out first, leaving Tian Guihua and Wu Shi to help Zhou Shi wipe her body and change into clean bedding. There was a lot to do.

"Jiujiu is a great hero, indeed." Aunt Xu changed her previous dismissive attitude. This little ball of fluff was truly extraordinary.

Acupuncture, she couldn't understand that, that was the doctor's business. But just this single matter of turning the fetus, she had only heard about it, but never seen it done. In a small place like this village, there weren't many midwives who knew how to do it.

She not only broadened her horizons but also learned the craft, and in the future, she will be the most skilled midwife within ten miles.

Fu Dajin glanced at his little sister and grinned, "You two don't need to say so much nonsense. Our Jiaojiao is a lucky star."

Before, Aunt Xu didn't believe it, but now she believes it seven or eight points.

But this good fortune is also because this child truly has the ability.

The mother and daughter, who had been blocked by Fu Baiwan and Fu Sijin outside the courtyard, had already gotten up from the ground and were shouting that they wanted to see their daughter.

Fu Baiwan and Fu Sijin exchanged a glance but didn't stop him anymore.

"Oh, my dear girl, you've suffered so much." As soon as Zhou Po entered the courtyard, she began to cry out.

Tian Guihua had Wu stay in the house, watching over her. The child was born safely, but they still needed to observe if she would have postpartum hemorrhage. She couldn't be alone.

"Let me have a look at my eldest grandson. Look, what did I say? My daughter is blessed, isn't she? She gave birth to a son."

Zhou Pozi seemed to have completely forgotten that she had just been arguing with her daughter-in-law, threatening to report them to the authorities and demand compensation.

Now he's like a completely different person, not mentioning anything about what just happened.

Ke Tian Guihua is not someone to be trifled with. Just now, I was busy taking care of Zhou Shi and had no time to argue with the two of them. Now it's time to have a word or two.

"Mother-in-law, I wasn't sure what I heard inside just now. Did I hear someone say we harmed someone? Am I mistaken?" Tian Guihua smiled on her face, but her eyes were unusually cold.
