Capítulo 140: Chapter 137 Giving birth
Ye Chenghe stayed at the medical center in the town for four days before being taken home by Wu Xianglian and Ye Quan.
The skin wounds on his body have all healed, but his broken legs are still wrapped in thick straps, and he can't urinate on his own.
But there was nothing we could do. One day's stay at the town's medical center cost fifty cash, and four days was two hundred cash.
The eighty taels of silver given by Zhou Zaigan before were used to pay off foreign debts. The family didn't have much money left, and they really couldn't afford such a waste.
Ye Quan rented Zhou Liang's ox cart early in the morning and went to the town to take Ye Chenghe home.
Today's old Ye family is in a bleak state.
Sun Caihe, the son of the eldest daughter-in-law, has collapsed since Ye Ansong went to jail. She fell seriously ill and couldn't do much work at home.
The second daughter-in-law, Zhang Juan, is pregnant and looks to be eight or nine months old. She is even less capable of doing this job.
Wu Xianglian naturally did the laundry, cooking, sweeping the floor and feeding the chickens inside and outside the house.
The two of them finally brought Ye Chenghe home, but they had difficulties in how to carry him into the house.
There is also a medicine boy to help in the medical center, but the eldest brother Ye Chenghai and the second child Ye Chengjiang are not here at the moment.
Nowadays, Ye Chenghai goes out early every day and comes back late every day. Instead of working in the fields, he goes out to drink and fool around every day. The work in the fields is only supported by Ye Chengjiang and Ye Quan.
Ye Quan saw that it was still early and knew that his eldest son and second son would not be back for a while.
He smoked for a while and said to Wu Xianglian: "I'll drive him into the courtyard and we can lift him up."
"How can I lift this?" Wu Xianglian was worried, Ye Chenghe was so heavy for such a strong man.
"Go and call the eldest daughter-in-law." Ye Quan said in a muffled voice.
Wu Xianglian understood and knew that there was nothing she could do, so she had no choice but to go.
Their reputation in the village is quite bad now, and no one would be willing to help if they ask for this matter.
Just this bullock cart was rented from Zhou Liang after hard work in the morning. After paying more money, he had to return it later.
After a while, Sun Caihe followed Wu Xianglian out, and the three of them went to great lengths to move Ye Chenghe into his room.
Wu Xianglian and Ye Quan sat on the edge of Ye Chenghe's bed and panted. Sun Caihe went out to cook after helping.
Zhang Juan, whose cat was in the house, heard the movement outside and poked her head out. When she heard that Ye Chenghe was back, she rolled her eyes and walked towards the house where Ye Chenghe lived.
"Son, it's not a problem for you to be like this." Wu Xianglian was worried, "The doctor said that it will take a few months to recover from your injury. The medicine you take and the medicine you change must be taken every day. But we don't have it. Money."
"What do you want to do?" Ye Chenghe was lying on the bed, his eyes no longer as bright as before, with a heavy dead air.
"What should we do? We have to get money from that person named Zhou!" Wu Xianglian became furious.
Ye Quan knocked the cigarette ashes on the edge of the bed and rolled his eyes at Wu Xianglian: "What? Have you forgotten what Cheng He does?"
"He won't do it now anyway." Wu Xianglian muttered, "This is something that can be solved by just reporting to an official."
Ye Chenghe works at Zhou Ji Pawnshop on the surface as a shop assistant, but in fact he is a debt collector.
Moreover, the usury money usually released was in his own name and had no direct relationship with Zhou Ji Pawnshop.
Lending loan sharks is not allowed by law in Dongling Kingdom. Generally, those who do this business are secretive, either running casinos, or people with power and connections. Ordinary pawnshops would not dare to do so. Do.
Because if something goes wrong, not only will everything be lost, but the person will also go to jail and lose his or her head.
"He quits now, but what about the usury money put in his name? And the accounts recorded on his head. You are afraid that An Song will have no one to accompany him in prison, so you want to get his third uncle in too. Do you have a companion?" Ye Quan was very angry.
"Then let's go talk to Zhou Zaiqian. Anyway, only we know that his daughter is pregnant with a bastard. If he doesn't pay, we will publicize this matter to the whole Tianshui Town. I think his daughter still knows Who dares to ask for it?"
"Hmph," Ye Quan sneered, "I'm afraid that before you tell me about this, I'll be lying in a corner waiting to die."
When he said this, Wu Xianglian also thought of Ye Chenghe being beaten, and suddenly she didn't dare to speak.
Seeing that both of them had stopped talking, Ye Chenghe was also panicking: "Father, mother, then... what should we do?"
"Alas..." Ye Quan shook his head sadly and sighed.
But at this moment, I heard several screams of pain coming from outside.
"Ouch... Ouch!"
Wu Xianglian was stunned, and Sun Caihe's panicked voice sounded: "Brother and sister, are you okay?!"
"Ah...stomach, my, my stomach hurts so much!" Zhang Juan stood up.
She originally wanted to secretly hear about Ye Chenghe and what her parents-in-law were planning to do. After all, Ye Ansong's family had already invested a lot of money in it, and she didn't know how she was going to live in the future.
But who would have expected that when he heard about Ye Chenghe's loan sharking, he was so frightened that he gave birth prematurely.
Wu Xianglian in the room heard the sound and jumped out of the room like an arrow. She saw Zhang Juan being supported by Sun Caihe and sitting on the ground shouting "Ouch" and "Ouch". Her clothes were already wet.
"Quick! Get people into the house! Heat water!" After she shouted, she rushed into the kitchen without caring about the two men in the house.
…
Ye Anian and Jiang Zhu worked hard all day, and it was already dark when they got home.
As soon as the two children saw them coming back, they pestered Ye Anyian to see the little rabbit. Ye Anyian washed his hands, picked up some fresh cabbage leaves, and fed them to the snow dumplings first.
When the snow dumplings were full, they called the two children in to see the little rabbit.
The fur on the little rabbit's body is now all grown, and they are bunched together like dandelions.
Ye Anian caught two little rabbits as usual and gave them to the two children. Fu Zai took them and petted them for a while, then suddenly said in surprise: "Brother, it seems to have opened its eyes!"
Ye Annian took a look and saw that the little snow-white furry dumpling had his eyes open and was sucking on Fuzai's fingers.
Ding Qiu held the little rabbit in his hand and asked Ye Anyian expectantly: "Brother Ye, what do you think of this one?"
Ye Annian took it and took a look: "Well, your eyes are also open."
After he finished reading, he returned the little rabbit to Ding Qiu, and then carefully picked up the remaining nine and inspected them one by one.
I found that except for the smaller one that had not yet opened its eyes, the other eyes were all open. They were black and bright and very cute.
"Five white ones, three brown ones, and three flower ones." Fu Zai looked at the rabbits of various colors in the rabbit cage and told Ding Qiu one by one.
In the past few days, Xue Tuanzi had become accustomed to them visiting the little rabbit every day and was no longer so wary. Ye Anian let the two children play by themselves while he and Jiang Zhu went to prepare for the evening meal.
Having eaten a lot of fish and meat these past few days, Jiang Zhu planned to cook a pot of millet and pumpkin porridge, stew cabbage and tofu, and put some corn pancakes on it in the evening.
The two of them divided their work in an orderly manner and were busy when there was another hurried knock on the door outside.
Since Tongqian got a few pieces of roast duck that day and didn't get scolded, the whole dog seemed to be more lively than before. Not only did he work hard at looking after the house and the home, but as long as Ye Anian was at home, he would follow him every step of the way. The huts and huts have to kick back their heels.
At this moment, I heard someone knocking on the door outside, and like a bow full of arrows, it shot out with a "swish".
"Woof! Woof woof woof!"
Along with Copper Coin's barking, Wu Xianglian's anxious voice rang out, but it was not Ye Anyian.
"Dr. Jiang!"
"Mr. Jiang, help me!"
"Brother Nian! Open the door quickly!"
Jiang Zhu, who was cutting cabbage in the main room, made some movements with his hands. Ye Anian had already put down the small basin in which he was washing rice: "I'll go."
He walked out quickly, and Jiang Zhu followed him out. He said a little uncertainly: "She seems to be looking for me?"
Ye Annian opened the fence door, and Wu Xianglian stood outside the door. He stepped forward and grabbed Jiang Zhu's arm without hesitation: "Mr. Jiang, come with me quickly!"
After she finished speaking, she pulled Jiang Zhu away and Jiang Zhu frowned.
Before he could speak, Ye Anyian had already reached out and pried Wu Xianglian's hand away: "You have something to say, what are you doing?"
"Oh!" Wu Xianglian patted her thigh anxiously, "It's your second aunt who is about to give birth!"
"Then go find the midwife." Ye Anyian said softly.
"It doesn't matter if Grandma Sun, who knows how to deliver babies in the village, has already gone! It's been all afternoon and she hasn't been born yet!"
After she finished speaking hurriedly, neither Ye Anyian nor Jiang Zhu had any reaction.
Wu Xianglian also realized at this moment that if she wanted to invite Jiang Zhu, she had to see what Ye Anyian wanted.
"Alas!" She sighed, but even if she couldn't keep her face down, she had to lower her head.
"Brother Nian, it was grandma who was wrong in the past. Grandma shouldn't...shouldn't have treated you like that, and brother Fu."
"But, your second uncle has never tried to rub you off before. You...you can't just die without saving me!"
Ye Annian saw her trembling look at him and suddenly laughed: "What are you talking about? I'm not a doctor. What do you want me to do?"
"Then..." Wu Xianglian was stunned and a little confused, "Mr. Jiang, I beg you to save my second daughter-in-law's life!"
Jiang Zhu said nothing and glanced at Ye Anyian next to him. Ye Anyian just said: "Let's go, I'll go with you."
Although the people in Lao Ye's family were not good to him and Fu Zai, Zhang Juan was still relatively young compared to the rest of the family. He really couldn't leave her alone, so he asked Jiang Zhu to go take a look and save her if he could. It's two lives.
Without further ado, Jiang Zhu took the medicine box and the three of them hurried to Lao Ye's house.
Although it was completely dark at this time, there were already many people in the courtyard of Lao Ye's family, including aunts, aunts, and several husbands. Some were close to Lao Ye's family, and some did not usually interact with each other. of.
Although they are usually at odds with each other, when it comes to such a life-threatening matter, everyone is still concerned.
Seeing Wu Xianglian inviting Jiang Zhu over, everyone automatically moved out of the way.
Jiang Zhu took advantage of the crowd and patted Ye Anyian's shoulder: "Wait for me here."
After saying that, he followed Wu Xianglian in.
Ye Anyian stood in the crowd and vaguely heard Zhang Juan's feeble cry of pain in the room.
He knew that medical technology in ancient times was far less advanced than modern times, and that the woman had to go through hell to give birth. He didn't know what Zhang Juan's condition was, or whether Jiang Zhu could save her.
Just as he was worried, someone suddenly tapped him on the shoulder.
"Brother Nian."
