Good luck every time

The sister-in-law was still a little frightened when she saw Li Ruyi getting down from the tall horse.

She has limited knowledge, and people like Li Ruyi are already important figures to her.

"I can't really explain this..."

Li Ruyi looked at her anxious expression and nodded.

"Okay, I'll go take a look!"

The sister-in-law quickly made way.

"well……"

As the two were talking, Boss Li came running over from not far away.

"Ruyi, you're back! Let me help you tie up the horse!"

Li Ruyi did not refuse and thanked him.

"Thank you, brother!"

Most of the sons that the Li family needs are in the capital. The remaining ones at home are either lazy or stupid, or their parents like them and want them to stay by their side to fulfill their filial duties.

Boss Li was forced to stay by his parents.

Li Ruyi walked quickly into the yard and went to the backyard where Li Shiwu lived.

Han Shian did not follow her in. He really could not help with Acai's childbirth.

Li Ruyi walked to the place and saw everyone gathered at the door. Li Shiwu was extremely flustered at the moment and kept asking about the recent situation.

Li Ruyi was reluctant to go in, fearing that the cold wind he brought would irritate the people inside, so he also waited at the door.

When the old lady of the Li family saw her, she stretched out her hand and beckoned her over.

"Grandma, what's going on?"

The old lady's kindness was mixed with a hint of uneasiness.

"Nothing, nothing. The midwife is here and the doctor is waiting in the front yard..."

Ah Cai was able to endure the pain very well, and at this moment she couldn't hear any movement in the house.

Li Ruyi saluted her, and also saluted Old Man Li, before saying a few polite words.

"I feel relieved to have you here. My master is very concerned about Sister Acai. He originally wanted to come back in person, but he was worried that he would add burden to everyone."

Old Mrs. Li smiled and pulled Li Ruyi to stand aside.

The days are getting shorter now and it gets dark in a short while.

Seeing Li Shiwu pacing back and forth anxiously, his mother hurriedly asked his father to light the lantern.

Although it was not long after the Mid-Autumn Festival, the night wind in Sanjia Village was already making people feel cold all over.

Old Mrs. Li looked at this and that, and saw that everyone looked timid. She quickly asked people to go back to the house and wait for news.

Don’t worry that Acai is not in any danger inside, and the people waiting outside will be frozen to death.

Li Ruyi was also pulled by Old Lady Li into a house not far away to wait for news.

Li Ruyi couldn't calm down. She stood at the window and listened to the movements from Acai's side through the white window paper.

The voice of the midwife instructing Acai how to use more force overlapped with the sound of Li Shiwu pacing back and forth, making Li Ruyi frown.

Whether it is easy to have a baby depends not only on the mother's health but also on her luck.

Acai doesn't seem to be a very lucky person.

Li Ruyi came in the evening and waited until the early morning, but the child was not born.

The noise outside has changed.

Li Shiwu's mother put on her clothes and carried hot water in batches. A blood-stained towel was thrown out. Li Shiwu almost fainted at just one look.

The noise inside also became louder.

The midwife's voice, the doctor's voice, and Acai's painful and suppressed voice intertwined together.

Just now the midwife had asked Li Shiwu whether he wanted to save the adult or the child, and Li Shiwu said without hesitation that he wanted Ah Cai to live.

He knelt in the direction of the rising sun and confessed that he had had delusions in his mind. He clearly shouldn't have had a child. He had clearly made preparations to not have a child. Why was he so depressed...

The injury that Acai suffered earlier still affected her.

Li Ruyi was already standing at the door. Looking at Li Shiwu's back as he kowtowed, she felt indescribably sad.

Mrs. Li and the midwife's daughter-in-law went in and out, bringing out basins of blood.

Li Ruyi's heart seemed to have sunk into the lake, suffocating and cold.

Everyone was silent, suppressed their emotions, and looked towards the door...

When it was daybreak, the baby still hadn't been born. Many people in the village who heard the news came to the gate to check.

But everyone knew that this was not a good time to disturb them, so they all went home after saying a few words.

Li Ruyi listened to Ah Cai's cries of pain, which went from being suppressed to a weak breath.

"This is not a solution. I have to go in and see her!"

Li Ruyi really couldn't wait any longer. Even though she knew that all possible methods had been tried, she still wanted to go in and take a look.

The old lady of the Li family did not stop her. The only sound in the yard was Li Shiwu's kowtow, just like before.

At this moment, he was completely focused and more devout than he had ever been before.

Li Ruyi stepped into the house, and a strong smell of blood spread.

When A Cai saw Li Ruyi, a weak smile appeared on her pale face.

She stretched out her white fingertips towards Li Ruyi.

Li Ruyi ran over quickly and grabbed her hand.

Her fingertips were cold and damp with sweat.

"Ruyi...I seem to be running out of strength!"

Li Ruyi squatted beside her ear, and her warm breath melted Acai's almost frozen soul.

"Sister Acai! You said you would leave everything you didn't get to this child!"

Li Ruyi squeezed Acai's hand hard.

"Not just you, but me too...we need to give her a nice name!"

"We never expected her to be a boy. She was born with everyone's expectations. You can't leave her with any regrets!"

A Cai moved her fingers, and the pain reached an extreme point, and she just felt numb.

"Ruyi...I...you are right..."

A Cai opened her eyes hard and a drop of sweat fell.

"Ruyi...what do you think we should name them?"

Li Ruyi didn't know either, but she was also afraid that Acai would lose her last bit of strength, so she could only start to transfer her internal energy to Acai to help her recover some strength, while saying things that Acai was interested in.

"I think virtuous and kind are the most useless. Let's not give our children these names!"

After hearing this, A Cai nodded repeatedly.

"Yeah!"

There was another wave of pain, and A Cai instantly squeezed Li Ruyi's hand tightly.

Li Ruyi's true energy flowed through her meridians into Acai's body.

A warm current slowly flowed in, and Acai finally no longer felt cold.

"Ruyi...you're right! My daughter must be more powerful!"

Li Ruyi said to Acai in response.

"That's right! Damn his virtues, his ladylike manners, and his tactfulness!"

Li Ruyi seldom swears, and this was the first time Ah Cai had seen it, and she was amused by her exaggerated behavior.

"Yes! F**k Xian..."

Ah Cai suddenly felt so much pain that her whole body was shaking, and her fingertips turned completely white without any blood.

Li Ruyi felt very distressed.

"Why not just call this kid Wanwan? Why did he come out so late?"

A Cai gritted her teeth and endured the pain before she breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's not too late! It's never too late!"

Li Ruyi nodded vigorously.

"That's fine! Then it's never too late. It's never too late no matter what time it is!"

A Cai thought it was hilarious, but she also felt that there was nothing wrong with it. Other people's children all longed to be gentle and virtuous, but her daughter didn't have to be too late or too gentle.

"Ruyi... or the name you want is better..."

The midwife's eyes were red from staying up all night, but when she heard the two people talking about all this nonsense, she was not unhappy at all, on the contrary, she was very excited.

"Ouch! I saw the head! The baby is about to be born, it's about to be born!"

When Acai heard that she was about to give birth, she was also a little excited.

Because of the excitement, the head that was visible just now disappeared again.

The midwife was startled and said quickly.

“Breathe in, breathe in… push harder… push harder…”

A Cai didn't even know how many times she had exerted herself that night.

But this time is different from before.

It was not known whether it was because of the internal energy that Li Ruyi passed on to her, or because she had endured for so long that the time had finally come for her to give birth.

This time, when Acai exerted force, it seemed different from before.

The midwife suddenly said happily.

"It's born! It's born..."

A Cai was still a little confused. Li Ruyi remembered what Li Shiwu said about her being pregnant with twins, and was worried that she would become deflated after giving birth to one.

"Sister Acai! Don't sleep, there is a child here! She is waiting for you, you can't give up!"

Acai's ears were buzzing, and he could only hear some chaotic sounds in a trance.

She nodded.

"The other one is called Buqi... Buqi is also good!"

She was in a daze, and the midwife's daughter-in-law came over to help clean the baby's body and cut the umbilical cord...

Li Ruyi held Acai's hand tightly and tried his best to transfer his internal energy to her.

"You can call me anything! Anything is fine!"

A Cai suddenly took a deep breath, and after the harsh breathing sound, she suddenly cried out in pain.

"what……"

This sound was made with all her strength.

The red amniotic fluid and another child were born together with a crackling sound. The child born earlier seemed to have sensed something. He was silent just now, but suddenly started crying.

In an instant, the crying sound went from hoarse to clear.

This sound restored some of Ah Cai's scattered spirit.

The midwife was overjoyed and quickly picked up the other child to check her mouth and nose.

The little red and wrinkled ball heard its sister's crying and started to cry heart-wrenchingly too.

The two children cried louder than each other. Li Ruyi felt his head buzzing as he cried. This also attracted the attention of Li Shiwu who was kowtowing at the door.

Li Shiwu sat up and tears burst out in an instant.

But he didn't have time to cry. He could only wipe his tears, quickly stood up and rushed into the room.

The midwife was frightened by him.

However, A Cai recognized the person from the figure as he walked in.

When she saw clearly that she was struggling to get up, the midwife came to her senses and started scolding her.

"Is this the place you're supposed to be? Get out! Get out! Don't expose the children to the wind outside!"

Li Shiwu was covered in dust and his forehead was covered with cuts from pebbles. Blood soaked the dust, making him look disheveled, terrified and vulnerable.

Ah Cai wanted to say something comforting, wanted to smile at him...

But her strength was finally exhausted, and she closed her eyes and fainted.

Li Shiwu was so frightened that he rushed over and knelt in front of Acai.

Li Ruyi felt Acai's meridians, which were so thin that they were almost inaudible, and her hands and feet became cold with panic.

"Quick! Call a doctor!"

Li Shiwu was so frightened that his legs went limp, but when he heard that a doctor was called, he turned over and crawled out the door.

The sleepy old doctor waiting at the door was awakened by the crying of the child, but before he could feel happy, he heard Li Ruyi's panicked voice.

He had already gone in last night when the midwife asked whether to save the adult or the child. It would be too deliberate to go through those empty formalities at this time!

Li Shiwu's mother was waiting outside. When she heard what was said inside, she went to find the old doctor without saying a word.

The child was wrapped up in no time.

Two daughters who look very alike. They are very small, and the quilt that wraps them is also very small.

When put together, they are as big as two freshly picked corns.

They fell asleep peacefully, unaware that their mother was hanging by a thread beside them.

Childbirth is a daunting process. Even if there is no heavy bleeding, there are still many difficult stages.

Li Shiwu clenched his teeth and his expression was very serious. Only his eyes revealed confusion and panic.

The old doctor first inserted many silver needles into Acai's broken body, and then turned around to write a prescription.

Li Ruyi took the list and asked someone to call Sun Xiaohua over. The little girl was next door. When she heard the noise, she came running over, took Li Ruyi's prescription, and ran away to get the medicine.

The smell of blood and medicine mixed together in the yard.

The sky slowly faded from bright to dark.

In the evening, many people could not bear it anymore, only Li Ruyi and Li Shiwu were still holding on.

The two of them remained silent. The child woke up crying because of hunger. Li Shiwu's mother brought out the goat milk that she had prepared earlier and gave it to them to drink.

The milk-producing sheep was brought back from the mountains by Grandma Ding earlier. She started preparing when she knew Acai was pregnant.

The sheep gave birth a month and a half ago and has plenty of milk. Now it can help Acai feed the baby!

The two little girls drank the goat's milk, smacked their lips, and fell asleep again.

Li Shiwu washed himself and dressed himself as the midwife had instructed, and took care of Acai and the two children without taking off his clothes.

His mother was not idle either, running around, boiling milk and burping the baby.

The low pressure in the Li family lasted for two days.

A Cai slept for two days and two nights before waking up.

She opened her eyes and saw Li Shiwu's emaciated appearance.

In order to take care of the children, he had to neglect his cleanliness, but he could not hide his haggardness.

A Cai wanted to reach out and touch his face, but as soon as she stretched out her hand, she suddenly found that she had no strength at all.

Li Shiwu, who was always paying attention to her condition, discovered that she had woken up at the first moment.

"you're awake?"

Noticing Acai's action, he took Acai's hand and placed it on his face. At that moment, Li Shiwu could no longer suppress his collapse and tears instantly fell.

At this moment, he didn't know what to say, nor why he was so sad. He rubbed his face hard against Acai's scarred palm.

A Cai looked at him, eyes full of heartache.

Li Ruyi originally thought that Acai would be able to go back to work after she finished her confinement!

This was also because she took it for granted.

After all, all the children she had come into contact with in her previous life were raised by wet nurses.

After seeing Acai taking care of the children, she truly understood how difficult it is to raise two children.

Even though she didn't care about other things like defecating or urinating, A Cai just focused on feeding the baby and was very busy.
