Chapter 154 Giving birth is like having one foot in the grave.
Gu Jun leaned down, and Shu Yun looked at the fluffy head buried in her chest. She closed her eyes shyly, unaware that the moment she closed her eyes, her other senses became even more acute.
The unusual touch made Shu Yun flinch. There were footsteps and voices passing by outside the ward from time to time, and Shu Yun's nerves never relaxed.
To be honest, she and Gu Jun had engaged in such intimate behavior before, but it was somewhat exciting to do it in a public place like a hospital, like having an affair.
Lost in thought, Shu Yun's face became burning hot. She had been cooped up for too long during her pregnancy and was really hungry!
The man was strong, and Shu Yun didn't suffer much pain. White milk flowed out, and she finally got through!
"Alright." Gu Jun straightened up. Shu Yun looked at him, her eyes immediately burning as if she had been burned. She quickly handed him a handkerchief. "Hurry up and wipe yourself."
"Oh." Gu Jun took it, lowered his gaze, and didn't dare to look at Shu Yun either, just like a naive young man who had just gone on a blind date.
He grabbed a handkerchief and wiped his face haphazardly. In a short time, he felt himself covered in sweat.
Shu Yun couldn't stand it anymore. Gu Jun had been wiping for a long time, but the white stain on his mouth was still so obvious. She couldn't help but say, "Bend down and I'll wipe it for you."
As Gu Jun did, Shu Yun finally managed to wipe away the unsightly white substance from the corner of his mouth.
"Patient in bed 6, has your milk come in yet?" The nurse's voice at the ward door made both of them feel guilty. Shu Yun immediately withdrew her hand, while Gu Jun stood up, walked out of the curtain with a stern face, and said, "It's done."
The nurse glanced at him. "Oh, then I'll be going. Remember to feed the baby later."
As they were talking, the baby lying next to Shu Yun woke up and opened its mouth with a "waaaah" sound. Shu Yun was so close that her ears rang.
She reacted quickly, feeding the baby just as he was about to cry for the second time. The baby immediately began to swallow the fragrant milk, clearly because he was starving.
Shu Yun had a natural birth, and the process went smoothly. By late afternoon, she was able to get out of bed and walk around. Wang Xiuwen helped her walk slowly down the hospital corridor.
"Doctor, is it a boy or a girl?" As soon as the operating room door opened, an old woman rushed forward, asking not about the mother's condition or the baby's, but about the baby's gender.
The doctor had seen many bizarre cases in the obstetrics department and was no longer surprised, but she was still displeased. However, thinking about what would happen in the operating room, she patiently handed the baby in her arms to the young man next to her, saying, "It's a girl."
"The mother is still very weak due to postpartum hemorrhage, and there are no complications yet."
Before the doctor could finish speaking, the old woman interrupted, "A girl? Is this a girl?"
After the old woman finished speaking, she roughly snatched the still-swaddled baby away, glanced at her with a desperate look, and then, without looking at her newborn granddaughter again, put the baby in the arms of the man beside her. She pulled the doctor aside and said, "Why isn't there a boy? My daughter-in-law is carrying twins. Is the other one not born yet?"
Doctor: "I regret to inform you that the patient's family did indeed carry twins, a boy and a girl, but the boy's organs were not fully developed at birth, and he stopped breathing immediately after birth."
The old woman seemed to have been struck by a blow, and staggered back a few steps. The young man beside her quickly stepped forward to help her, but the old woman pushed him away, saying, "Mother."
She stared at the baby in the man's arms with hatred in her eyes, "That jinx, she's the one who killed her brother, I'm going to strangle her."
The man quickly backed away, and the doctors and nurses were also startled, rushing forward to stop him. But the old woman changed her tune, grabbing the doctor's white coat and refusing to let go, shouting, "You must have killed my grandson! Give my grandson back to me!"
Even the doctor's good temper eventually wore thin. He pushed the person away and said irritably, "The mother's severe postpartum hemorrhage caused the baby to be born prematurely. This girl was also saved with great effort."
As they were talking, several people from the hospital's security department rushed over. The old woman, being a bully who preyed on the weak, dared not step forward to pull the man away. The doctor said to the silent young man beside him, "Your wife hasn't woken up yet and needs to stay in the hospital for observation."
The old woman, her face grim, said, "If I had known it would turn out like this, I shouldn't have sent them over in the first place. It's such a waste of money."
She left as soon as she finished speaking, ignoring the unconscious woman still lying in bed.
The young man hurriedly tried to follow, asking, "Mom, where are you going?"
The old woman glared at him and said, "Where are you going? What else can you do? Go home and farm. Don't you have any chores to do? You should go back home too. You've already wasted a whole morning. You'll lose several work points."
The young man, lacking initiative, glanced towards the ward while holding the baby and asked, "Then, what about Yingzi?"
"What can we do? It's all up to us. She didn't even give our Sun family a big, healthy son, and now I have to take care of her?" The old woman got angrier and angrier. She casually put the baby in her son's arms on the ground and pulled her son out.
The young man was also weak-willed, and he let his mother drag him away without saying a word, leaving behind a crying baby on the ground and an unconscious woman lying on the bed.
Wang Xiuwen and Shu Yun stood aside and watched the whole thing. Not only them, but also many patients in the ward heard the commotion and witnessed this farce.
Wang Xiuwen sighed, "Everyone says that when a woman gives birth, she has one foot in the coffin. What's the point of having children if they're like this? Let their family line die out."
That's absolutely right, and many people think the same way.
Coincidentally, when Wang Xiuwen helped Shu Yun back to the ward, there was already someone lying on the empty bed in their ward. It was the unlucky woman who had just gone through the farce.
She was still asleep, her eyes tightly closed, her face pale and sallow. Instead of gaining weight during her pregnancy, she had become extremely thin, though it was still clear that she was not very old.
The nurse was putting an IV drip on her and asked Shu Yun and another person to help watch over the mother, who was still unconscious and whose family was nowhere to be found. However, the hospital could not kick her out, so they could only treat her first and wait until she woke up before checking on her again.
Wang Xiuwen stayed with Shu Yun in the ward for several hours before going back to prepare dinner.
Shu Yun leaned against the headboard, munching on an apple that Wang Xiuwen had peeled for her, and rubbed her loose belly. Although she had already given birth, her belly was still very big and hadn't shrunk.
Suddenly, a soft moan came from next door, and the woman in labor in the next bed finally woke up.
Seeing that she was awake and seemed a little out of it, Shu Yun said, "You're awake. Let me call the nurse."
Wang Keying touched her stomach and was startled. She immediately tried to get up, but the pain from the wound on her stomach made her fall back onto the bed.
Shu Yun: "Don't get excited. You just had surgery. Be careful that your wound doesn't reopen."
"Where is my child? Is my child alright?" Wang Keying's voice was extremely hoarse.
Shu Yun pursed her lips. "I don't know the specifics either. You should ask the nurse later."
