After a long while, Wu finally ran out of the house breathlessly. Her face was filled with anxiety and panic, and she kept muttering, "Xi'er, do you still have the potion you brought? Your aunt had a difficult labor and she has no strength left!"

Yang Mingxi only felt a buzzing sound in her head, as if countless bees were running around in it.

The word "difficult labor" kept circling in her mind like a curse, causing her heartbeat to accelerate to the extreme.

She didn't have time to think about it, and immediately ran towards the direction where Wu came as fast as the wind.

The delivery room, which had been cleaned up temporarily, was in a state of chaos.

My aunt-in-law, Mrs. Mi, was as pale as paper, with her eyes tightly closed. Beads of sweat rolled down her forehead. She lay on the bed with her legs curled up, her body shaking from time to time.

Her mouth was wide open, as if she wanted to swallow all the air, making a wheezing sound, making people feel that she might run out of breath at any time, as if she was about to die.

Beside Mrs. Mi, her grandmother and fifth aunt were busy helping her to settle her stomach.

Grandma's face was filled with anxiety. She massaged Mi's belly vigorously and shouted, "Old Fifth Wife, push harder! Don't fall asleep!"

Mi just opened her mouth, gasping for breath, and didn't respond at all.

Yang Mingxi stood aside, feeling extremely heavy-hearted.

She clenched her fists tightly and tried to stay calm.

She concentrated her mind and used her perception to check the baby in Mi's belly.

The baby was lying sideways in the belly and the situation was very critical.

Fortunately, with the help of the grandmother, the baby had turned most of the way, and his head was only a little distance away from the pelvis. With just a little more force, the baby could be born smoothly.

This tiny bit has become the biggest obstacle.

The baby's head was stuck firmly against the pelvis, and no matter how hard Mrs. Wu tried, she couldn't move the baby any further. Due to the prolonged labor, Mrs. Mi was already experiencing heavy bleeding, and her condition was becoming increasingly critical.

"Grandma, the baby is stuck and my aunt is bleeding profusely. We can't delay any longer and must make a choice!" Yang Mingxi stared at the baby's position and shouted anxiously.

A thin layer of sweat broke out on Old Lady Wu's forehead. She replied anxiously, "I'll protect your aunt, but I really can't handle this child!"

Yang Mingxi took a deep breath, calmed himself, and then said decisively: "Okay, then I get it, I'll do it!"

After saying that, Yang Mingxi quickly walked to Old Lady Wu, rolled up his sleeves, and prepared to go into battle himself.

As she washed her hands, she calmly ordered, "Bring in some soju."

"Yes, I'll go right away." Fifth aunt Li responded with sobs, then rushed out the door like the wind to get some liquor.

Old Mrs. Wu looked at Yang Mingxi with worry on her face, her lips trembling, as if she wanted to say something but was hesitant.

After a long while, Old Lady Wu mustered up the courage to ask, "Xi'er, do you really have a solution?"

Yang Mingxi nodded without hesitation and answered with a firm look in her eyes, "Saving one should be no problem, but I will do my best to save both. I plan to turn the baby over manually, so there might be a glimmer of hope."

After hearing this, Old Lady Wu nodded thoughtfully, indicating that she understood the principle behind this method. However, she was still a little hesitant and muttered to herself, "That being said, I really can't do it..."

Yang Mingxi quickly comforted her, "Grandma, don't worry, I'll handle it. Go sit over there and rest for a while, and leave this to me."

Yang Mingxi quickly washed her hands, turned to Li and said, "Fifth Aunt, please bring the liquor over."

Mrs. Li rushed in with a bottle of liquor in her hand and asked anxiously, "Xi'er, what do you want the liquor for?"

Yang Mingxi took the liquor and explained, "I need to wash my hands with the liquor to disinfect them. Also, find a clean cloth, dip it in the liquor, and carefully wash my aunt's private parts to prevent infection."

As Yang Mingxi spoke, she took out a water bag from her body and handed it to Wu, instructing her, "Mother, please slowly feed the water in this bag to my aunt. Try to let her drink as much as possible. This will be good for her and the child."

Li and Wu looked at each other, nodded in understanding, and started working without saying a word.

Yang Mingxi quickly picked up the soju beside her, carefully poured it onto a clean cloth, and then gently wiped her hands for simple disinfection.

After everything was ready, Yang Mingxi took a deep breath, calmed himself down, slowly placed his hands on Mi's bulging belly, and began to rub it gently.

Her movements were skillful and professional, as if she had experienced such scenes countless times.

After rubbing for a while, Yang Mingxi suddenly stopped, staring intently at Mi's belly, then carefully lifted the child's head with one hand, and with the other hand, he quickly turned the child's head at lightning speed and sent it accurately into Mi's pelvis.

"Aunt, the baby has entered the pelvis. I'll count to 3, then push hard." Yang Mingxi said softly to Mrs. Mi, while closely observing her breathing and found that Mrs. Mi's breathing had become slightly stable.

When Mrs. Mi heard what Yang Mingxi said, she nodded slightly, indicating that she understood.

Seeing this, Yang Mingxi immediately began to exert force on Mi's stomach, working together with Mi.

"3, push harder!" Yang Mingxi's voice was clear and loud. At the same time, she pushed hard on Mi's belly with both hands, as if she wanted to transfer all her strength to Mi and the child.

"Ah..." Mi suddenly let out a shrill cry, and the sound echoed in the silent room, making people tremble with fear. However, Mi was not defeated by the pain. She gritted her teeth and persisted tenaciously.

"Pa, pa..." Old Mrs. Wu nervously slapped the child's butt, trying to make the child cry as soon as possible.

Amidst everyone's anticipation, a clear cry broke the tense atmosphere in the room.

"Wow..." The child's cry was like the sound of nature, making everyone breathe a sigh of relief.

When Mrs. Mi heard the child crying, a relieved smile appeared on her face, then her body went limp and she fainted.

When Yang Mingxi told Mi to push harder, Old Lady Wu stood up and waited on the side. After the child was born, his face was already blue and purple. Old Lady Wu directly held the child upside down and slapped his butt.

"Okay, the child is fine. Mrs. Li, you take the child away! I'll take a look at Mrs. Mi." Old Mrs. Wu ordered, and then took over the remaining matters of Mrs. Mi.

After Mi's side had dealt with the problem, everyone left and let Mi have a good rest.

Mrs. Wu then asked, "Mom, what happened? Why didn't you give birth in the usual delivery room?"

Old Mrs. Wu sighed and said, "Your third sister-in-law had a seizure first, so she went into the delivery room. Your fourth and fifth brother's wives and I helped her give birth, while the sixth brother's wife was outside helping to boil water."

After Old Lady Wu finished speaking, she picked up the water bowl and took a big gulp before continuing, "Then the third daughter-in-law gave birth to a son. She was crying and making a fuss. The sixth daughter-in-law thought something was wrong, so she fetched some water herself. Maybe she was holding on, so she had a seizure right then and there."

Fifth aunt continued, "Today, Second Sister-in-law went to call for help, but only Big Brother came back. Third Brother also didn't come back. In the end, Fourth Sister-in-law had to accompany Third Sister-in-law. My mother and I temporarily cleaned up a room for Sixth Sister-in-law to give birth. Unexpectedly, Sixth Sister-in-law had a difficult labor."

Wu said, "It's a boy, so what's there to cry about? There are so many boys before us, right, fifth sister-in-law?"

Fifth aunt Li smiled awkwardly and said, "That's right, a boy is a boy. There's no need to cry and make a fuss. She just gave birth, but she might be feeling a bit upset! No one gave birth to a girl back then. Third sister-in-law is a bit upset because eldest sister-in-law just gave birth to a girl."

"She is so fragile. The sixth son's wife also gave birth to a girl. She doesn't know what to do?" Old Mrs. Wu continued.

"Sixth brother's wife also gave birth to a girl?" Fifth aunt Li said in surprise. After a pause, she continued, "This makes Third sister-in-law even more upset."

At this time, my second aunt Liu came in and said, "What's so strange about this? Should I just give up my life? All the other sisters-in-law gave birth to children, but I didn't?"

After saying that, he looked at his fifth aunt, Li, and said, "Fifth wife, go back and look after the children. You've only just finished your confinement. Ask Fourth wife to come along. Daddy is looking after the two babies and doesn't even dare to come over to see his sister-in-law."

Only then did Mrs. Wu remember that she had been there for almost an hour and it was almost dark, but she still hadn't seen her father. It turned out that her father was looking after two babies!

Wu was anxious. How could her father look after a baby? He had several grandchildren's wives! She quickly said, "Don't we have nieces and nieces? Why should my father look after a baby? Let's go and take a look!"

Old Mrs. Wu stopped Wu, who was about to run away, and said, "Your niece's wives, Xiao Li and Zhang, haven't been back to their parents' home since they got married. Now that the fourth and fifth daughters are out of confinement, they've been sent back. She's taken the two from the second daughter's family to your house, leaving three. Mei and Erya are in charge of taking care of the eldest daughter-in-law and cooking, and Xiao Zhang is helping out in the third daughter-in-law's room."

"Oh, I'll go see my dad!" Mrs. Wu still wanted to go outside.

The fifth son's wife, Li, said, "Sister, don't go. I'll go and bring the child over, and Dad will come over too."

Mrs. Liu said, "That's right. Stay with mother! The meal will be ready soon and it's time to eat."

Yang Mingxi sat aside, not saying a word, just quietly.

All six of my grandmother's daughters-in-law are good, but my third aunt can be a little petty sometimes. Today, she almost got two people killed. Look how pissed off my grandmother is. I don't know how to punish my third aunt. At least I have to teach her a lesson!

While Yang Mingxi was thinking, her uncle and grandfather came over.

When Old Lady Wu saw her youngest son, she asked in surprise, "Xiao Liu, why are you back?"

My uncle nodded and said, "I had a bad dream last night. Thinking that Mi was about to give birth and the workshop wasn't too busy, I rushed back to check on her!"

Yang Mingxi looked at her uncle who was always smiling and now had a dark face. It seemed that he knew what happened at home.

"It's good that you're back. Have you gone to see your wife? She has suffered a lot!" said Old Mrs. Wu.

"Well, I've checked. She's asleep, and the child is asleep too. Mom, I came here to tell you, I'll go call my third brother back!" Wu Laoliu said in a hoarse voice.

"Go! Your third brother will handle it when he comes back." Old Mrs. Wu said weakly.

"Old woman!" Old man Wu stopped her.

"Dad, I was so angry. It almost resulted in two deaths. I know it. If Xier hadn't taken over, I wouldn't have been able to see them, mother and daughter!" Wu Laoliu cried.

"You, when did you come back?" Old man Wu said with trembling lips.

"A quarter of an hour before my sisters, I came back and heard the noise in my yard, so I went straight back to the yard and stood in front of the window watching mother and fifth sister-in-law help Mi give birth to a baby. If..." Wu Laoliu choked and raised his hand to wipe away his tears.

"When I was about to go in, my sister and Xier came running over. I heard Xier say that only one could be saved. Thank you, mother, for saving Mi." Wu Laoliu cried like a baby and went forward to hug Old Lady Wu.

Old Man Wu sighed and said, "Well, there are some things I wanted to talk about when you brothers are together. Now that you know, go ahead and see what your third brother does!"

Wu Laoliu let go of Old Lady Wu, raised his eyes and looked at Old Man Wu in surprise, mumbling, "Dad, you...I made things difficult for you, but I can't swallow this."

Old Man Wu stepped forward, patted his youngest son, and said, "I know, it's okay! Go!"

Yang Mingxi stood up and said, "Don't go. We went to see my third uncle before we came here. He will be back tomorrow morning. After this kiln is fired, he will also be ready to rest."

Only then did everyone realize that Yang Mingxi was also there, and her face didn't look particularly good either.

Wu was the first to speak: "Xi'er, how are you? Where do you feel uncomfortable?"

Old Mrs. Wu also looked at Yang Mingxi. She looked pale, and thought she was hungry, so she quickly said, "Second wife, is it time to eat? Is Xier hungry?"

Li quickly said, "It should be OK. I'll go take a look."

Yang Mingxi suppressed the churning in her stomach and stood up, saying, "It's okay, grandma, I was just busy and I'm a little tired now!"

"Dinner is ready, dinner is ready!" Tang came in carrying a large bowl of meat and vegetables, saying as she walked.

The churning that Yang Mingxi had just suppressed suddenly rushed out of her mouth, and she vomited with a "wow".

"Xier, Xier, how are you?" Wu hurried forward and supported Yang Mingxi.

Old Lady Wu looked at Yang Mingxi and said with a smile, "It's okay, it's okay. It's all good news. Miss Xi is pregnant. I'll go make her a bowl of sour water and she'll be fine."

Yang Mingxi looked at his grandmother who was weak just now. When she saw his appearance, she suddenly became like a spirited young man again, helping him to make sour water, tears silently sliding down his face.
