“Daya, gentleman Wei Ting?” 

Lizheng* was very surprised.

*Lizheng (里正) : An official position in ancient china, mainly in charge of household registrations and tax payment. 

Previously, just like the villagers, he would call Wei Ting ‘Ting ge’er’*. 

But later, after seeing Wei Ting’s talent and knowledge, he felt a surge of respect in his heart. So the way he called him also changed accordingly. 

*(Name) + ge’er (哥儿) / jie’er (姐儿) : In the past, the elders using this to call the younger generation affectionately. 

“Lizheng.” Wei Ting also greeted him back.

“Why are you here?” Lizheng asked.

Wei Ting said, “We heard something happened in the Li family, so we came over to take a look.” 

How could you hear it when you lived so far away? What kind of ears did you two have ah! 

Even he who lived next door had only just woken up right now, okay?

Wei Ting went to knock on the door, but just as soon as he raised his hand, the door was opened.

The one who opened the door was Old Li Tou.

When Old Li Tou first saw the four people standing at the door, he was simply startled! 

“Aiyooo!” 

“Uncle Li, it’s us.” Su Xiaoxiao said.  

Old Li Tou wiped away his frightened cold sweat and asked, “Daya? Ting Ge’er? Lizheng? Why are you here?” 

“What happened to saozi*?” Su Xiaoxiao asked. 

*Saozi (嫂子) : is a title referring to the older brother’s wife, it is also a general term for a young married woman. 

A word of ‘Saozi’, showed that she wasn’t estranged from Old Li Tou. 

Old Li Tou wiped his reddened eyes and said, “In the afternoon, she went to pick up Shuanzi, and accidentally hurt herself…… At first it was still okay…… but something went wrong at night……” 

Lizheng’s expression changed.

I’m afraid Mrs. Zhao was about to give birth! 

He hurriedly said, “Then why don’t you hurry up and invite the midwife!” 

That was the problem!   

The midwife…… was not available! 

When his daughter-in-law started to realize that her stomach was not feeling well, the sky was only getting dark, and Old Li Tou went to invite the midwife. 

The midwife did come here, but just as when they entered the village…… They were intercepted by other people! 

“Who is it? Besides Shuanzi and Qiuni’s mother, is there still anyone else in our village who is going to give birth?” 

He was Lizheng, how come he didn’t know about it ah? 

“Old Su family?”  Su Xiaoxiao asked.  

Wei Ting also had the same guesses, just now when they were walking all the way here, it was only the Old Su family who hadn’t slept.  

If there was any other family in the village who was going to give birth, then it could only be the Old Su family. 

Lizheng thought for a moment and said, “There’s no one who is pregnant in the Old Su family ah!” 

“Yuniang?” Su Xiaoxiao asked again. 

Old Li Tou nodded his head once again. 

Yuniang was Su Jinniang’s older sister. She married in another village three years ago and just got pregnant this spring. On August 15th, she went back to her natal house with a big belly to visit her family. 

For this matter, Lizheng did have an impression. 

“Did she come back for the New Year?” Lizheng frowned, “Even so, she still shouldn’t be able to take away the midwife you invited.” 

The reputation of the Old Su family was high in the village, Old Li Tou also didn’t expect that Su Yuniang would do something like this. 

Old Li Tou said, “The midwife also had come here to take a look and said that Shuanzi’s mother didn’t have a seizure yet, so she would go to see Yuniang’s side first. She said that she would come over here again when Shuanzi’s mother had a seizure……” 

And the reality was that once she went there, she couldn’t be invited to come here again. 

The midwife was from He Tongsheng’s village, since it was close, naturally she would know the situation of the Old Su family.

Su Yuniang was married to the grandson of the Qianshui village’s Lizheng, and also had a sister-in-law who was a young mistress in the town. 

How could Mrs. Zhao be comparable to her? 

“Why are you standing at the door? Hurry up and go call the midwife ah!” 

It was Mrs. Qian’s voice.

“I’ll go!” Old Li Tou said to the three of them and braved the wind and snow to go to Old Su’s house.

Old Li Tou came back very quickly, his face was full of anxiety and frustration.

“Yuniang is also going to give birth, the midwife can’t leave……” 

Su Xiaoxiao said, “Uncle Li, let me take a look.”

“You?” Old Li Tou looked at Su Xiaoxiao in astonishment. 

Although he understood that Su Daya had grown capable and was no longer a lazy little bully in the past, but to help others deliver a child…… I’m afraid she still couldn’t do it! 

Wei Ting said, “Uncle Li, please let Daya give it a try. Daya has some medical skills.”
