Sir Song, do you want to pledge yourself to me?

As soon as these words came out, the villagers who had originally thought that the village head aunt was really anxious to find her niece suddenly realized that this was not looking for someone? It was clearly forcing the Ji family to marry her niece! For a moment, there was a lot of discussion around, and all kinds of eyes and expressions were intertwined.

There were indeed many families in the village who shared the same idea as the village head's aunt, but after being politely rejected by Ji's mother, they all gave up on this idea. Now that the village head's aunt was making such a fuss, it seemed a bit desperate.

"Are the Ji family members feeling guilty? Why are they still hiding? If you don't explain this matter to me clearly, I will let the entire Fang family come to your house and stay there!" Seeing that no one came out to pay attention to her, the village chief's aunt began to threaten.

At this time, Aunt Zhou hurriedly pushed aside the people blocking the door to prevent her from entering. Seeing Ji Nuan standing by the door, she hurriedly said, "Girl, your sister-in-law Dayu's fetus is in an abnormal position and can't be born yet. Can you think of a way?"

Aunt Zhou's voice was quite loud, and the people near the door also heard it and turned to look over.

The village head's aunt hadn't seen the Ji family respond, and she was already anxious. Now someone had diverted her attention, so she ran over and cursed, "Zhouzi family, you have no conscience! My niece is missing, and I'm so anxious and angry, why are you here to mess with me? You've delayed my search for her, and I'm not done with you!"

Aunt Zhou's daughter-in-law was having a difficult labor, and she was also anxious and angry. She retorted, "Why are you looking for someone here? Who doesn't know that your niece wants to marry into a rich family? I saw her walking quite a distance with the Wen family's marriage proposal team yesterday. Maybe she just went home with them."

"What nonsense are you talking about here? Do you believe I will tear your mouth apart?" The village chief's aunt had been arguing for so long just to marry Fang Miaomiao to the Ji family. How could she allow people to gossip and ruin things?

Aunt Zhou was not to be outdone: "What nonsense did I say? It's not like I was the only one who saw it. Many people who were walking behind me yesterday saw it with their own eyes."

Saving people was the most important thing. Ji Nuan strode out of the gate and said, "Fang Miaomiao didn't even enter my house yesterday. Aunt Village Chief, you should quickly look for her somewhere else. If anything really happens, you can still find her in time."

"You said he didn't go in, so he didn't go in! I..." The village chief's aunt pointed at Ji Nuan and was about to continue pestering her, but was pulled away by the village chief who had just arrived.

The village chief growled angrily, "Aren't you ashamed? Go back now!"

A middle-aged man who lived at the entrance of the village stood up from the crowd and said, "Village Chief, when I was returning home from fishing yesterday, I also saw Fang Miaomiao following the young master of the Wen family."

"I saw that, too," another person echoed.

"Me too." A few more people stood up and said.

The village chief's wife usually acted aloof, and few people in the village were worthy of her attention. Aside from a few people who flattered her, few people wanted to associate with her. Now, seeing everyone come forward to testify, her face turned pale, but she couldn't get angry anymore.

The reason why everyone was afraid to speak out just now was because they were afraid of the village head's aunt's arrogance in secret. The village head was upright, and those who knew about it were emboldened and stood up one after another.

Seeing that her family had nothing to do, Ji Nuan pulled Aunt Zhou and said, "Aunt Zhou, let's go quickly. Let them handle the things here on their own."

Aunt Zhou nodded quickly: "Okay, okay. We have to hurry, your sister-in-law Dayu is still waiting."

Ji Nuan followed Aunt Zhou and hurried to her home.

As soon as they reached the gate, they heard the anxious voices of Uncle Zhou and his son. Seeing Aunt Zhou and Ji Nuan coming, they acted like they had seen a savior and hurriedly said, "Nuannuan, go in and take a look. Save your sister-in-law. She's almost dying."

Ji Nuan didn't hesitate at all and immediately ordered: "Okay! I'll go in first. Aunt Zhou, please prepare a bowl of hot water and bring it in." After that, she went into the delivery room first.

Uncle Zhou's surname was Zhu. Like many other families in the village, the Zhus had fled here and settled there. The Zhus had been a single-line family for generations, with no sisters-in-law or relatives. So when faced with such a major crisis, they could only turn to their neighbors for help.

Ji's mother and Aunt Zhou had always had a good relationship. This time, when the Zhu family gave birth, Aunt Zhou asked Ji's mother to come and help. At this moment, the midwife in the room was sweating profusely with anxiety. The woman's cervix was fully dilated, but the baby just couldn't come out.

The woman in labor no longer had the strength to cry out in pain, her eyes half-closed weakly. Ji's mother wiped the sweat from her head and neck while whispering encouragement to her.

When Ji Nuan walked into the room, her mother immediately made way for her, a look of apprehension on her face. Whenever anyone in the family had a headache or fever, Ji Nuan would come back to cure them with the herbs she collected. But her mother had never seen her truly treat a patient, and she had no idea how skilled she was, or whether she could save a woman in labor.

"Nuannuan, the baby is lying sideways in your belly. I had no other choice but to ask your aunt to call you. Go and see your sister-in-law!" Ji's mother said anxiously.

Ji Nuan didn't say much and had already felt the pulse of the woman in labor.

The baby's fetal position is abnormal and the amniotic fluid has broken. Both the mother and the baby are very weak now, and the situation is indeed very bad.

Ji Nuan's eyes remained firm as she comforted her mother, "Don't worry, Mom. I have a solution! Both the adults and the children will be fine!"

Soon after, Aunt Zhou came in with hot water. After hearing Ji Nuan's words, her trembling hands became much steadier.

Ji Nuan took the bowl and accidentally put her thumb into the water. She paused for a moment and said, "Mom, help him stand up a little and feed him this bowl of water."

Although Aunt Zhou didn't know what Ji Nuan was going to do, she still obediently helped Ji's mother lift up the woman's head and took the bowl to feed her water.

Although the mother was exhausted, she cooperated and drank all the water. When she lay down again, she felt that some of her strength seemed to have returned.

"Press this under your tongue."

Ji Nuan handed over a piece of ginseng and quickly sealed the painful acupuncture point of the woman with a silver needle. Then, she placed her hands on the woman's bulging belly. With the help of her supernatural power and the ancestral technique of reincarnation, she stopped her hands after about ten breaths.

The midwife watched nervously from the side. When Ji Nuan said, "Prepare for delivery," she looked down and exclaimed in surprise, "The head is turning! It's coming out! It's coming out!"

The cervix was already fully dilated, and the woman pushed as the midwife instructed, and the baby came out quickly and smoothly. The atmosphere in the room suddenly became relaxed.

With the baby's loud crying, Uncle Zhou and Dayu, who were waiting outside the door, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Uncle Zhou seemed to have lost all his strength. He sat down on the wooden block outside the door and said with great emotion: "Thanks to your sister Ji Nuan! No wonder your uncle Yinzhu always praises her. If I had a daughter like her, I would also cherish her dearly."

As Da Yu listened to his father talking more and more nonsense, he couldn't help but roll his eyes secretly.

Their Zhu family had been a single-line family for several generations. If his father had been able to give birth to a daughter, he wouldn't have to envy Ji He for having a sister since he was a child. However, at this moment, he was still very grateful to Ji Nuan, after all, his wife and child were saved.

Ji Nuan carefully checked the condition of the mother and child, and after confirming that they were safe, she gave them a few instructions before going back.
