After leaving the yard and walking onto the corridor, Hua Zhi asked softly, "Go ahead."
Shaoyao tugged at her braids and said, "The old lady is actually old. People have three souls and seven spirits. When they are old, they are easily unable to calm down. That's why a thunderclap scared her to such an extent. In fact, I think she has relaxed a little. If she takes care of her body slowly, maybe she will get better."
This was definitely something she hadn't expected. Hua Zhi's eyes lit up even brighter. "Really?"
"That's what I felt when I took your pulse just now. I'll go check it out tomorrow. If your heart disease is healed, everything will be fine."
"It would be great if you could think it through."
After passing through the Moon Gate, it becomes much more lively here.
The other three daughters-in-law of the Hua family gathered in the Fourth Madam's courtyard. Zhu raised her voice to encourage her, "Save some energy. You've already given birth to one child. The second one will come soon. I'll have someone go downstairs. After you finish eating, push harder and it will come out in no time."
It was a rare occasion for Hua Zhi to see her mother behave like an eldest daughter-in-law. One thing after another made her tense heart relax a little at this moment.
Second Madam Qi was the first to see her and said hurriedly, "Zhi'er is here."
Zhu and Xia looked over at the same time.
Hua Zhi came over to greet the three people. Zhu felt sorry for her daughter and stopped her before she could bow. "Aren't you in class in the front? You, an unmarried girl, can't help."
Although the speaker had no intention, both Qi and Xia felt a little unhappy, as they felt that their sister-in-law's words were as if she was deliberately showing off in front of them that her daughter could be a teacher.
"How is Fourth Aunt?"
"This is my second pregnancy. The birth is less than 20 days earlier than expected. The fetus is growing well, so there should be no problems."
Hua Zhi nodded slightly, turned back and held Shaoyao's hand, "Let's go in and see Fourth Aunt."
"No." Zhu held Hua Zhi tightly and said, "How can an unmarried girl enter the delivery room? Do you still want to get married?"
"Mom, I want to go." Shaoyao was also unmarried. It didn't make sense for her to let Shaoyao go in while she waited outside because of these concerns.
"It's okay, Huahua, I'll go by myself." Shaoyao shook her hands gently and thought, no one wanted her anyway.
Hua Zhi did not answer, but firmly pulled her hand out of her mother's hand, "Mom, I have to go."
Zhu bit her lip. Although her face was still full of disapproval, she did not stop her. She remembered what her mother said last time. Yes, she could not block her daughter's way. Her daughter was much more capable than her. She could not hold her back. Just like her mother said, it didn't matter if she didn't understand. She should support her daughter in whatever she wanted to do.
Seeing this, Qi and Xia hurriedly pushed their eldest sister-in-law. Xia said anxiously, "How can we let a girl go into such a dirty place as the delivery room? If this gets out, will the girls of our Hua family still get married?"
Even if Hua Zhi doesn't get married, they still have a daughter!
Zhu's ears softened and she was about to speak again, but Hua Zhi had already stopped and turned around, "If you can't even tolerate this, how can your daughter really marry him? Don't encourage my mother. In the end, my mother will still listen to me."
Qi and Xia were so stunned by her self-evident words that they could not say a word. Since when did mothers have to listen to their daughters? Only a girl like the eldest sister-in-law could do this. If it was her family, she would dare to do it!
"The noodles are here."
Hua Zhi glanced at the maid who came over and said, "Yingchun, you stay and take care of my mother."
"yes."
Zhu wanted to say that she didn't need anyone to take care of her, but when she saw the unhappy faces of her two sisters-in-law, she swallowed the words. She was afraid of quarreling with others, and felt that there was nothing to quarrel about. It would not be a big deal to take a step back, but since her daughter wanted to protect her, she would just agree. She was still happy in her heart.
The door was half open and the smell of blood hit her in the face. Hua Zhi took a few breaths to adjust herself at the door before entering the house.
Wu was biting a round piece of wood in her mouth, which must have been extremely painful. The hair on her forehead was wet.
Everyone in the room was stunned when they saw her coming in. Wu took a piece of wood and scolded her, "What are you doing here? Can you lend me your strength to help me give birth to a child? Get out now."
Hua Zhi pulled Shaoyao forward and said, "Let's go take a look."
Shaoyao sat obediently on the edge of the bed, pinched Wu's wrist and took her pulse.
Mrs. Wu was stunned for a moment. Her panicked heart due to the premature delivery suddenly calmed down. Men and women were strictly prohibited from giving birth. Even when the Hua family was at its peak, they would check the pulse every day before the birth. It was impossible to call a doctor when the time came to give birth, and no doctor was willing to enter the delivery room. Therefore, giving birth for women was like going through hell.
Thanks to Zhier, she was able to enjoy the treatment that only the queens in the palace could enjoy.
"The pulse is fine."
Hua Zhi looked at the midwife, "Is the fetus in the correct position?"
The midwife had always been visiting the homes of the powerful and wealthy. She had delivered several sons and daughters of the Hua family. She had also met the eldest daughter of the Hua family before. But it was not until this time when she entered the mansion that she found out that she was the head of the Hua family, and that the Hua family was not as difficult as people outside said. From what she saw, the inner courtyard was not much different from before.
She admired the eldest daughter of the Hua family very much, and replied respectfully, "Yes, the fetal position is correct at the moment."
Hua Zhi signaled the maid to help Fourth Aunt stand up. She took the milk and sat on the edge of the bed to feed her. She looked calm as if this was not a delivery room that girls couldn't enter. "Did you hear that? The pulse is stable and the fetus is in the right position. There is no problem. Just use all your strength to give birth to the baby. He can't wait to see this world."
Wu's eyes were hot as she ate the noodles in big mouthfuls. She ate the whole bowl of noodles and soup cleanly. "Get out now. Fourth Aunt appreciates your kindness."
Hua Zhi did not try to be stubborn and led Shaoyao out.
Zhu came over quickly, "How is it? Is your fourth aunt okay?"
"Everything is fine. Where is Nanny Lin?"
"You said to keep everyone in the room under control, so I left her in the room to watch."
"Speaking of this." Xia interrupted, "Zhi'er, it's just that Fourth Brother's wife gave birth to a child, why do you have to do this? Are you still worried that we will do something?"
Chunxiang was probably too anxious at the time, and her shouting was a bit loud. The children from both classes in the school probably heard it. Fortunately, Chunxiang only said that her grandmother was frightened, not fainted. Huazhi did not intend to cover it up, and could even be said to be open and honest, "Grandmother and Fourth Aunt were both frightened by thunder. I was afraid of trouble, so I simply detained everyone. It was my fault that I did not explain clearly and frightened the aunts."
Was the old lady shocked? The daughters-in-law looked at each other, wondering why they hadn't received any news!
"I've taken Shaoyao to see Grandmother, and she's fine. Since Grandmother doesn't want to make a fuss, you can just pretend you don't know."
Zhu hesitated and said, "But we already know about it, how can we pretend we don't know?"
"Grandmother had just gone to bed when I came here. You will only disturb her if you go over there." Hua Zhi made the final decision, "Mother, send someone to find Nanny Lin and ask her to come in and help Fourth Aunt."
"Oh, okay."
