Chapter 90: Listen to Li Yao

Chapter 90

"Auntie Li, Aunt Liu still can't make it!"

"Aunt Liu has already fainted!"

"The midwife said if she doesn't give birth in the next moment, there will be no saving her!"

...

Bad news kept coming, but County Captain Zhang's figure was nowhere to be seen coming back.

Finally, Li Yao really could not sit still, and went to Fang's house directly with He Xiaoya and Du Xiao Hui.

"How is it?"

Almost all the women in Fang's family were in the yard, anxious and at a loss, but helpless. Seeing Li Yao ask, they all silently shook their heads.

The master of the house, Fang Shian, sat at the door with a relatively calm expression.

He was 50 years old this year. He had experienced things like this too many times, and knew getting anxious was useless. Everything could only be left to fate.

Just then, the midwife came out from the room. Everyone hurriedly gathered around her. But seeing her sighing repeatedly, they all knew there was probably no way left.

"Everyone disperse," Fang Shian let out a long sigh and said, "Prepare for the funeral."

"No. " Li Yao suddenly said, "You can't give up now."

"Who are you?" the midwife asked.

"Who I am is unimportant," Li Yao said, "But let me ask you, does the woman in labor still have a breath?"

"There's still a trace..."

"Then that's right. As long as there is still a ray of hope, you absolutely can't give up."

The midwife couldn't help but shake her head and said, "I've been delivering babies since I was 18 years old, and have gone through things like this countless times. I absolutely won't misjudge. If there really was a way, it would have to be a living Bodhisattva coming down to earth."

After the midwife finished speaking, she prepared to leave. Fang's family also completely gave up hope.

But just at this moment, the sound of galloping hooves came from the distance. County Captain Zhang quickly rode over to Fang's yard on his horse.

"Mistress Li, it's ready."

"Don't speak of it. Just focus on recovering now."

Seeing the baby and the mother were fine, Li Yao's heart finally settled down completely.

The Fang family outside, upon hearing that not only was Aunt Liu fine, but she had also given birth to a boy, were even more overjoyed.

Especially Fang Shian, who held his little grandson and looked at him again and again.

Seeing this scene, Li Yao could only shake her head.

The whole family was fussing around the child, and not a single person went to care about the weak mother.

Even in modern times, scenes like this happened frequently.

"Li Yao, I really have to thank you this time. If not for you, my little grandson..."

"No need to thank me," Li Yao directly interrupted Fang Shian's words, "Have your son pay more attention to his wife. She's very weak right now and needs to eat more nutritious foods."

"Yes, yes, I'll listen to you on everything."

Walking out of Fang's front gate, Li Yao discovered that the County Magistrate's wife had actually waited nearby. She already knew that Li Yao had saved Aunt Liu and her son, and her heart was extremely shaken.

Compared to ignorant villagers like Fang Shian, the County Magistrate's wife was clearer on how many laboring mothers this method Li Yao used could benefit, and how many infants could be spared from death.

Even describing Li Yao as a living Bodhisattva, she felt was not excessive!

"Li Yao, you've made great contributions again."

"It's just doing what little I can for the women of this world. It's not much of an accomplishment."

"You can't say that," the County Magistrate's wife said. "I will definitely have my husband petition the imperial court about this. Just wait for your commendation."

Li Yao smiled wryly.

She had just sent cement over, and now she was sending an obstetric forceps. She also didn't know if that deeply secluded emperor could even see it.

Of course, if the obstetric forceps could be widely promoted, she would naturally be very happy.

She drew another exquisite obstetric forceps again, and added detailed crafting requirements and notes, then handed it over to County Magistrate Song along with this world's first obstetric forceps.

On the way back, County Magistrate Song marveled again: "This Mistress Li really continues to surprise. Why would someone like her be willing to live humbly in a remote little mountain village?"
