Who is Xiuying? She's Jin Cuihua's sister-in-law, her full name is Niu Xiuying.
Jin Cuihua's husband is the eldest, while Xiuying's husband is the fifth youngest. Out of all the sisters-in-law, they are the closest. When Cuihua heard that Xiuying was about to give birth, she was the first one to run to find Feng Qingxue.
Their production team only had one midwife, who was skilled but had a very high mortality rate.
Despite this, everyone sought her out, because there were very few people in this profession, a profession that was considered to be lowly in the old times.
Now, the midwife was also getting old. Her hands were not as steady when delivering babies, and sometimes she couldn't be found. Many women ended up giving birth at home, relying on the childbirth experience of their older female relatives.
Life or death, it was all up to fate.
