The handsome guy next door loves to flirt.

Chapter 7 An Uneasy Night (1)

Yun Shu doesn't have a boyfriend yet. One reason is that she doesn't have time to date, and another is that her family situation is complicated, making her unwilling to enter the "grave" of marriage so early. Besides, she's already decided that she'd rather live alone for the rest of her life.

There are only two buildings in this community, one in front and one behind. The one in front is newer and cleaner. Although the rent in the one behind is cheaper, the residents are more mixed, and even the stairwell is dirty. When the landlord brought her to see the apartment, Yun Shu refused to go up any further than the stairwell in the back.

This building is much cleaner and safer. In particular, when I came to see the apartment on this floor, the landlord specifically said that this floor is the safest. With Brother Kun around, even thieves don't dare to look around.

But after only two nights, all sorts of problems arose, even though the landlord had said it was the safest and most secure floor when we viewed the apartment.

Yun Shu thought to herself, silently reciting the Heart-Cleansing Mantra.

Before she could even finish reading it once, there was a loud banging on her door. The person was banging on the door urgently, and Yun Shu immediately got out of bed, changed her clothes, and ran out to open the door.

"Are you a doctor? Could you come over and check on my wife? She's having stomach pains, is she about to give birth?" It was the man from the other household who came over.

A few days ago, when Yun Shu asked someone to move her things over, she had met the couple next door. The woman next door, Tian Li, even lent her a broom to sweep the floor.

Without saying a word, Yun Shu locked the door and immediately went with him, feeling very apologetic for misunderstanding the sound as moaning.

Yun Shu went to the next room, which was sparsely decorated and furnished. Tian Li was in the inner room. When she entered, she saw that Tian Li was covered in sweat, her face was pale, and she was biting her lip. Her four-year-old daughter was looking at her in fear.

Yun Shu went over to take a look and saw that Tian Li's pants were also wet, meaning her water had broken. Yun Shu touched her belly and saw that it was hard. The baby hadn't descended into the pelvis yet, and it wasn't time to give birth, but her water had broken, so she was definitely going to give birth early, and it would be a difficult labor.

"Why not take her to the hospital? It looks like the baby is breech. She needs to be taken to the hospital as soon as possible. She might even need a C-section." Yun Shu had seen many cases like this. In most cases, a C-section was required. If a C-section wasn't performed, the baby wouldn't be able to come out.

“We…have no money…and my daughter was born at home and she’s perfectly fine…” Tian Li’s husband, A Dong, stammered nervously.

Upon hearing this, Yun Shu felt a surge of anger. What was going on? She was still thinking about having a baby at home. If she didn't have money, why didn't she want to have a baby? It must be that her first child was a daughter, and she wanted a son this time. But in this situation, she couldn't leave without going to the hospital. These were two lives at stake.

"These are two lives at stake. If you don't get them to the hospital, your wife and child will be in grave danger. You'd better decide what to do!"

Tian Li was still groaning in pain, and Yun Shu couldn't bear to look at her. Given her current condition, it seemed unlikely that she could have a natural birth.

The man hesitated and became worried. There was less than a thousand yuan left in the family, and a cesarean section at the hospital would cost several thousand yuan, especially since they were from out of town and did not have medical insurance.

At this point, the commotion reached other houses, and several neighbors came over to ask what was going on.

Just then, someone else arrived. "Brother Kun, you're here!" one of the family members present shouted.

"What's going on?" Xiao Mingkun looked like he had just returned; his clothes were a little wrinkled, his hair was a little messy, and his expression showed fatigue.

"Brother Kun, my wife is about to give birth..." A-Dong said timidly.

"She's about to give birth! Hurry up and get her to the hospital!" Xiao Mingkun frowned as he heard Tian Li's painful groans coming from inside the room.

Most of the people living on this floor are his workers and fellow villagers. He runs a construction company and employs dozens of workers.

"I...we don't have enough money at home, I want her to give birth at home..."

Yun Shu stepped in at that moment and said, "The baby is breech and most of the amniotic fluid has leaked out. It's a difficult labor, and the situation is not optimistic!"

"Nonsense! What year is this? Giving birth at home? What if something happens! Hurry up and get ready. I'll go back and change. The car is waiting for you downstairs." Xiao Mingkun couldn't help but curse. This involved two lives, and he couldn't joke about it. After thanking Yun Shu, he went next door to change his dirty clothes, grabbed his wallet, and prepared to go downstairs.

Ah Dong, who was behind, did not dare to object anymore. He hurriedly packed his wife's clothes and the baby's change of clothes. However, there was no one to take care of their eldest daughter, so they would probably have to take her to the hospital as well. They had only been in their hometown for a little over a month and were not familiar with the people in the area. They were too embarrassed and dared not entrust her to someone else.

Yun Shu watched him busy tidying up and helped him lead their daughter Lele downstairs.

Lele is very well-behaved. Looking at her mother, she had only cried for a short while earlier, but now, although her tears were still wet, she wasn't making a fuss. She seemed a little frightened, and her parents couldn't take care of her at the moment.

Downstairs at the large iron gate, Xiao Mingkun's car was indeed parked there, and he was leaning against the car door, smoking and waiting.

Xiao Mingkun's car wasn't very new; it was a Volkswagen, a low-key black one, and its price was probably around 100,000 to 200,000 yuan.

Yun Shu led Lele to the car. Xiao Mingkun opened the car door and carefully carried Lele inside. When Yun Shu saw him come out, she was about to tell him that she was going upstairs.

At this moment, Xiao Mingkun called out to her, "Could you do me a favor? Come with me to the hospital; you're more familiar with the place where you work." It was already late at night, and he was worried that there wouldn't be many doctors on duty. Besides, from what he had just heard, A Dong's wife's condition didn't seem very good.

"This... alright!" Yun Shu originally wanted to refuse, but he had already helped her fix the light, and there were two lives at stake here. As a doctor, how could she avoid such a situation?

Xiao Mingkun told Yun Shu to wait downstairs while he went up to call A Dong, telling him to hurry.

Yun Shu didn't have to wait long before they all came down.

A Dong was carrying his wife, while Xiao Mingkun carried their large bags of belongings as they walked over.

Just then, another car drove back into the yard. The people who got out of the car were all Xiao Mingkun's colleagues. They had been working overtime and then went out for a late-night snack before coming back. They had been doing this for the past few days. Last night was Xiao Mingkun's birthday, and the group of people specially left work early to come back and celebrate his birthday with him. That's why Yun Shu could hear the noise from next door at that time.

Xiao Mingkun came home earlier than usual tonight. He didn't drink with Tie Tou and the others until late. He came home early and ran into Tian Li from A Dong's family, who was about to give birth.
