CHAPTER 1035: CHAPTER 1037: COMFORTING THE PREGNANT WOMAN

Since Yang Ming had stayed in Lin County for a while before, he was quite familiar with the streets there.

Yang Ming drove easily towards the address given by the lady, of course, because there was a pregnant woman and they were in the city, he had to drive steadily.

In the carriage, Little Liufu was quite still, always in the basket, but since he could already turn over, Xiaoxiao had to keep an eye on him, afraid he might fall out.

While keeping an eye on Little Liufu, Xiaoxiao also had to comfort the lady who was about to give birth. Her hand tightly held the lady’s hand, "Sister, is your time here?"

"Not yet, but it’ll be within these couple of days."

If it’s within these two days, then it’s not premature birth, maybe the baby just wanted to come out now. Xiaoxiao tried her best to keep calm, right now there was no one else to help, "Sister, how are you feeling now?"

The lady had a look of pain on her face and spoke intermittently, "It hurts, my stomach really hurts, hurts a lot."

Xiaoxiao hurriedly felt the lady’s stomach, it was hard. Even though she had never given birth, she had some modern understanding that if the stomach was this hard and painful, it was likely contractions, which are a sign of impending childbirth.

"Sister, don’t be afraid, we’ll be home soon. Don’t be nervous, relax, like I just said, inhale, exhale."

The lady followed Xiaoxiao’s instructions, inhaling and exhaling, but her emotions were no longer as stable as before. She was filled with tension and fear, beads of sweat forming densely on her forehead, "No, my stomach hurts a lot, I can’t take it."

Seeing the lady in so much pain, Xiaoxiao got a bit worried, afraid that the lady might give birth in the carriage. She could only manage some calming efforts; she didn’t know how to deliver a baby. Seeing Yang Qiu give birth last time was scary enough, she was really afraid of witnessing it again.

She kept telling herself to stay calm in her heart, "Sister, hang in there, all childbirth is painful, just bear with it and it won’t hurt soon. Do you feel like the baby is coming out?"

The lady shook her head, "No, just my stomach hurts a lot."

Seeing the lady say the baby wasn’t coming out yet, Xiaoxiao inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief, "Sister, the baby isn’t coming so quickly, hold on, we’ll be home soon."

But it seemed nothing was working; the lady kept crying out in pain. The tense atmosphere was not good for the pregnant woman.

Xiaoxiao was also sweating anxiously, after a moment, she finally thought of a way, she started humming songs to the lady, hoping to calm her emotions, but Xiaoxiao’s songs had no effect.

In order to distract the lady and reduce the perception of pain from contractions, Xiaoxiao was trying her best. "Sister, there’s a monkey on the tree, a monkey on the ground, how many monkeys in total?"

"There are five birds on the tree, you shoot one, how many are left?"

"Two people fell into a pit, the dead one is called dead, what do you call the living one?"

"..."

"..."

Xiaoxiao tried her utmost, and finally heard the lady’s laughter. Had the contractions ended? Was it no longer painful?

But Xiaoxiao didn’t dare to ask, afraid that asking might remind the lady of the pain again, so she kept telling her jokes one after another.

After a while, the lady surprisingly said, "Miss, my stomach doesn’t hurt anymore, really doesn’t."
