Reborn as an Ugly Wife in the Countryside

Chapter 83: Chapter 83 Yang Qiu in the Cellar Xiaoxiao had never imagined that she would find Yang Qiu barely clinging to life in the cellar. Looking at the cold and dilapidated place where the girl lay quietly, seemingly devoid of any sign of life, Xiaoxiao’s heart ached immensely.

”You relentless bastards, give me back my daughter! Give her back! Ah! Ah!”

The mother-in-law immediately burst into tears, her cries piercing the heavens. The usually soft and weak mother-in-law had completely broken down, and the father-in-law, a grown man, also shed tears of pain at the sight of his daughter in such a state.

As for Yang Ming, seeing his sister in this condition, he was stunned into soulless disbelief. Only Xiaoxiao remained calm; she pushed aside the old midwife blocking Yang Qiu and checked for her breathing.

To Xiaoxiao’s surprise, there was still breath. Perhaps she had merely fainted from exhaustion, and there might still be hope for her. She immediately shouted to Yang Ming:

”Yang Ming, quick, take your sister out, she’s still breathing!”

At this moment, Yang Ming, hearing Xiaoxiao’s words, finally snapped back to reality. His sister was still alive, not dead. He hurriedly stepped forward and carefully picked up his sister as Xiaoxiao had instructed.

His fifteen-year-old sister, at the verge of childbirth, felt so light in his arms, seemingly not even ninety pounds. How miserable her life had been these past years! His eyes reddened, his vision blurred with teardrops, until finally, two clear streams of tears ran down his cheeks.

”Who are you people? You can’t take away my daughter-in-law, my grandson hasn’t been born yet!”

An old midwife stepped forward to stop them, followed by two other women, likely her daughters-in-law.

Heh, she’s nearly gone, what about ”your sister”?

”Hold them.”

Xiaoxiao immediately signaled the strong men she had brought, and the women finally calmed down.

The old midwife, who had just been pushed away by Xiaoxiao, was now cowering in a corner, utterly frightened. This was the worst ”job” she had taken on in her years of practice; never had she delivered a baby in a cellar. It was a first for her, but this family was notoriously dishonorable, so she had no choice but to do it against her better judgment, worried that it might ruin her reputation as a midwife forever—no one would dare to seek her services afterward!

”Are you the midwife?”

Xiaoxiao quickly asked, as Yang Qiu’s life was still dependent on the midwife!

”Yes... yes, I am,”

the midwife replied, shaking with fear.

”Hurry up and follow, my sister’s life is in your hands.”

Hearing these words, the midwife was utterly terrified. How heavy a responsibility—it was a matter of life! Yet seeing the seriousness of the group, she could only obediently follow along.

Yang Ming carried his sister into the house, and Xiaoxiao swiftly made her way onto the kang, spread out a blanket, and directed him to lay down Yang Qiu.

Then she turned to the midwife and asked, ”What’s the situation? Why can’t the baby come out?”

”The baby stirred too early due to inadequate months, a premature birth. The family insisted on saving the little one, which led to this delay!”

”We now need to save the mother. Is there any chance of saving her?”

”To save the mother, I’ll need to help push the baby out when she gives birth. But she no longer has the strength!”

Hearing this, Xiaoxiao quickly turned to her in-laws and said, ”Dad, mom, stop crying. There’s still hope for my sister. Go to the kitchen quickly and make some food for her, some sugar water. She doesn’t have the strength to give birth!”

Upon hearing that their daughter might still be saved, the two elders immediately busied themselves following Xiaoxiao’s instructions.

Outside the room.

”Let me go, you people will not end well!”

”I’m going to report you all, you can’t kill my grandson!”

The old midwife continued shouting, giving Xiaoxiao a headache. Xiaoxiao opened the door and said:

”Keep yelling, and I’ll sew your mouths shut!”

Suddenly, it was quiet inside the house. All mouths were closed, fearing she might actually sew their mouths shut.
