The Daily Life of a Down-on-Hard-Life Medicine Girl Supporting Her Family

Chapter 331

After taking one pill, Zhong Huimin felt a surge of energy throughout her body.

"Eldest sister, listen to me. I'll tell you when to breathe in and when to push. Let's sisters work together to welcome the baby."

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

Outside the delivery room, Mrs. Fang was very anxious.

"My dear in-laws, what if..."

“My dear in-law, the eldest daughter is my own daughter. I would never harm her.”

Madam Zhong was absolutely certain that Fifth Sister could do it; if she couldn't, she had already gone to ask the tutor for help.

"But Miss Fifth only attended Chunshan Women's Medical College for a few days, and she's still a virgin, she..."

How can you deliver a baby like that?

Isn't this nonsense?

They even angered the midwife, who then left. If anything goes wrong, the Zhong family will truly have only themselves to blame.

“I believe her,” Madam Zhong said. “It’s because Fifth Sister has always been Eldest Sister’s lucky star. Every time Eldest Sister is in trouble, Fifth Sister can save her from danger.”

Mrs. Zhong still harbored some resentment towards Mrs. Fang.

The reason why her daughter had not conceived after entering the Fang family was because one of the concubines in the mansion was pregnant. It was Madam Fang who had manipulated things, but deliberately pointed the finger at Zhong Huimin, making the concubine hate her.

Because the concubine was born into the family, she tampered with Zhong Huimin's food, which is why she couldn't conceive for so long.

Madam Fang also wanted to place her niece from her maternal family into her son's room as a concubine.

Just think about it, if her own niece becomes her son's concubine, whoever becomes her daughter-in-law will be unlucky.

Therefore, Zhong Huimin had no choice but to take the initiative. Rather than having her niece put into the courtyard, she thought it would be better to have her half-sister share the burden.

At least the people are in our hands.

When selecting people for the household, she chose the honest Zhong Xiuxiu.

Unexpectedly, Zhong Xiuxiu pointed her in another direction and personally asked Chunnuan to examine her. Only then did she learn the reason for her infertility. After taking many precautions, she finally conceived the child and took great care of her until she was about to give birth.

If Madam Fang were a capable woman who could manage her servants, would such a thing have happened in the household?

Furthermore, look at the midwife the Fang family hired; she turned around and left right at the last minute. How irresponsible is that?

If it weren't for Fifth Sister coming... Yes, then the midwife would have had no way to help, otherwise wouldn't the Minister's mansion have generous midwifery red envelopes?

Why is she running?
Just as Madam Zhong was about to bring up the matter, she suddenly heard a loud shout from inside the room.

"what……"

“Huimin…” Madam Zhong was somewhat lost in thought, and then she heard the baby crying.

"It's a boy! Congratulations, Madam! The young mistress has given birth to a son."

The nanny serving Zhong Huimin quickly came out to congratulate her: "Mother and child are safe!"

"Great, great."

Madam Zhong's eyes were filled with tears. She had said before that Fifth Sister was the eldest sister's lucky star.

"Elder sister, here, take another pill." Zhong Xiuxiu put a pill in her elder sister's mouth: "Elder sister, you've worked hard. Get some sleep. The baby is fine."

"Yes, Fifth Sister, thank you."

With tears welling up in her eyes, Zhong Huimin said, "Elder sister remembers your kindness."

The moment the midwife turned and left, Chung Wai-man was furious, but her mind went completely blank.

Now she realizes something's fishy. It seems someone wanted to kill her and her child while she was giving birth.

Therefore, simply guarding against the enemy is useless; one must use their own methods against them.

Five months after she became pregnant, her concubine also became pregnant.

Zhong Huimin sneered: Her kindness was the greatest cruelty she could inflict on herself.

If my fifth sister hadn't been here today, I would definitely have been killed.

Therefore, the fifth sister gave the mother and son a way to survive.

I will always remember this kindness.

“Eldest sister, this is what I should do. Even if you were a stranger, I would have done the same, not just because you are my eldest sister.”

As the doctor once said, a doctor's duty is to save lives and heal the wounded. When faced with an emergency, no matter what, the first thing to think about is to save the life. You can't just watch a life disappear before your eyes.

After tidying up the baby, Zhong Xiuxiu walked out of the new mother's room, her forehead covered in sweat.

"Fifth girl..."

Mrs. Zhong held her hand, so grateful she didn't know what to say.

"Mother, everything is fine." Zhong Xiuxiu said, "Eldest sister is a little tired, let her rest first. Mother, don't worry, eldest sister is in good health, she will recover after a period of rest."

They were not seriously injured.

However, I still need to tell my elder sister that even if she wants to have more children, she shouldn't get pregnant and give birth too frequently.

As the gentleman once said, the worst thing for women nowadays is that they have one child every year, which damages the mother's body. Before the child even grows up, the mother is already terminally ill.

She eventually died, leaving behind a group of hungry children. She then brought in a stepmother who abused them.

Therefore, the prerequisite for truly loving children is to love yourself well.

If you take good care of yourself, you can protect your children.

Having children infrequently is a way of taking good care of yourself.

"I never imagined that the Fifth Miss was even more amazing than the midwife."

Madam Fang felt a pang of sadness; was this woman really that amazing?

“Madam Fang, Chunshan Women’s Medical College was founded by order of the Empress Dowager. Our teacher is the granddaughter of Physician Xiao, and she is a disciple of Physician Xiao, inheriting his family’s skills.” Zhong Xiuxiu knew that she looked down on her.

Of course, she could look down on herself, but she absolutely could not look down on the Women's Medical College. Each of them represented the college and the professor's reputation, and they could not be easily trampled on.

"Midwifery is one of the essential skills we learn in medical school, in order to alleviate the pain women experience during childbirth."

Zhong Xiuxiu didn't say the words about "unnecessary death," as it was considered unlucky.

As the saying goes, "Some people are born to drink chicken soup but die before meeting the King of Hell." However, as long as we are skilled and have excellent medical expertise, we can still snatch people back from the King of Hell's doorstep.

"So, can the Fifth Miss open a clinic and practice medicine in the capital from now on?"

Mrs. Fang said this sarcastically.

You're a perfectly respectable daughter of an official; isn't it shameful for you to learn these things and show your face in public?
“If Fifth Miss is interested, I would be willing to provide some financial support.” Madam Zhong saw through Madam Fang’s problem, but she would never tolerate it: “Fifth Miss’s skills are inherited from Mr. Xiao, who is highly regarded by both the Empress Dowager and the Empress. If our Fifth Miss can learn even half of his skills, she can open a pharmacy and make house calls.”

"What does it mean to cultivate oneself and be a good person, to heal lives and save lives, and to deliver a safe baby for a pregnant woman? Isn't that much better than those who say one thing and mean another?"

Mrs. Zhong didn't use a single swear word, but her insults were very vulgar.

Rumors circulated that Madam Fang of the Minister's Mansion was kind and virtuous, a person who cultivated herself and accumulated good deeds.

But look at how she speaks so sarcastically about Fifth Sister; she doesn't deserve that title at all.
