BXBX NOVEL Chapter 321 - 321: Giving Birth
A woman giving birth to a child was like walking through the gates of hell.
Guo Miao’s mother had died of dystocia, and she knew how dangerous it was.
“Lie down first. I’ll help you feel it,” Guo Miao said.
“Feel?” Zhong Wei was puzzled.
Wasn’t this a technique that could only be achieved by X-ray? How could Guo Miao achieve it by feeling it?
He looked at Guo Miao in confusion.
Guo Miao helped Tong Xin lie upright and reached out to touch Tong Xin’s stomach a few times.
Tong Xin’s fetus was only three months old. Her stomach was not very big and was only a small bump. This fetus seemed to be slightly smaller than a normal three-month-old one.
Tong Xin’s health was not good. Even if she consumed medication to make up for a lot of her deficits, it was still very difficult to meet the nutrition needed to give birth to a child.
However, this child was not completely lost.
“What happened?” Seeing Guo Miao’s frown, Zhong Wei was a little anxious.
“This child is not developing well. 1’11 prescribe some medicine for Sister Tong Xin to drink first. After that, 1’11 give Sister Tong Xin acupuncture once a week,” Guo Miao said.
Zhong Wei was a little worried. “If we have to force Xinxin to give birth to this child, we’d rather not have it.”
He already planned to be childless for the rest of his life. If Tong Xin really could not conceive, he would not force her to as long as the two of them could be together.
“You can trust me. 1 can definitely protect this child,” Guo Miao said. She had seen cases similar to Tong Xin’s. Although it was not easy, the mother and son were safe in the end.
“It’s a boy. It’d be a pity to give up just like that.”
Upon hearing this, the old lady’s jaw dropped in shock. “Child, how can you tell?”
Guo Miao nodded.
Old Mrs. Zhong sighed deeply. She had always hoped to have another grandson, but it would not be worth it if she harmed Tong Xin’s body because Tong Xin had to give birth.
Old Mrs. Zhong eventually shook her head and held Guo Miao’s hand. “Child, you don’t have to force yourself to help Xinxin and Zhong Wei keep the child. It’s fine as long as Xinxin is safe.”
Old Mrs. Zhong was not a traditionalist. She did not have the concept of men being superior to women. In her heart, her granddaughter-in-law was not a reproductive tool at home but a family member.
She treated Tong Xin as her own granddaughter and naturally did not want her to be involved in danger because of giving birth.
“Don’t worry, I’ll definitely protect this child. Tong Xin will definitely be fine.” Guo Miao instructed Tong Xin on some things to take note of before returning home and starting to research a prescription to help Tong Xin protect her child.
This era was different from the Empire Era. The extraction technology of medicinal herbs could not be compared to the Empire Era. Therefore, Guo Miao herself had to handle many medicinal herbs.
Fortunately, there were quite a number of Chinese medicinal herbs in the Lin family’s courtyard that could be used.
She finalized the prescription and ran to the Lin family’s medicine yard to get some medicinal herbs. When she was almost done processing the medicinal herbs and putting them into the furnace to cook, it was already past ten o’clock at night.
Sitting in front of the medicine furnace and looking at the steam, Guo Miao suddenly remembered something.
It seemed that the school mid-term exam was tomorrow, but she had not reviewed it yet.
Looking at the time, Guo Miao decided not to do any revision. Those things were just a piece of cake for her. The most important thing now was to prepare Tong Xin’s medicine.
Guo Miao went to sleep after cooking the medicine, but the teachers in the Haicheng High School teachers’ group chat were still awake.
Mr. Lu from Haicheng High School: “Who do you think will be the first place in tomorrow’s city-wide comprehensive examination?”
Mr. Hu from Haicheng High School: “Of course, it’s Guo Miao from Haicheng High. Her previous scores were close to full marks. This time, it must be the same.”
Ms. Lu from Haicheng Second High School: “You’re definitely betting wrong. Our school’s Tian Yang went out to participate in a competition for a month. When he came back, he felt that the humanities exam were too easy. This time, Guo Miao definitely won’t get first place.”
The teachers’ guesses were not without reason. After all, the science exam tested comprehension while the humanities exam tested accumulation and memory.
Even if she could make up for it in the past two days, she might not be able to get good results.
Mr. Zhang from Haicheng High School: “Did you guys hear? This time, the principal of Haicheng High School promised that as long as Guo Miao can get first place, she will be able to skip a grade to the third year of high school and take the college entrance examination next summer..”
