Chapter 106: Rich Daughter!
“I need knockout powder and people to come in and help me!”
Since she had spoken, Lin Suisui didn’t hide anything. She spoke very straightforwardly, not to Gao Xuwei, but to Pei Qian, who was standing at the side. “Mr. Pei, I want to ask you for help.”
She had never received such a patient since she came to this world, so she couldn’t guarantee the severity of her grip, but Pei Qian was different.
Pei Qian was definitely much more familiar with this kind of thing than she was. He knew how much strength to use. Not only could he open the pregnant woman’s abdomen as quickly as possible, but he also wouldn’t hurt the child in her womb.
Most importantly, she didn’t just want to save the child this time. She also wanted to try her best to save the woman’s life.
Therefore, if Pei Qian helped her, she could apply needles to stop the bleeding and relieve the pain. This way, her chances of survival would increase.
Actually, she could ask Lu Ze for help on this matter, but with Lu Ze’s identity, it wasn’t appropriate for him to go in. If things went wrong, he might be targeted by that general!
With Pei Qian’s identity, General Gao didn’t dare to do anything to him on the surface!
“But I only know how to kill people. I’ve never learned how to save people!” Pei Qian raised his eyebrows, surprised that Lin Suisui would ask him for help at this moment.
“I just want to trouble you to hold the scalpel for a while.”
Lin Suisui looked at Pei Qian and briefly explained her plan to him. However, before Pei Qian could respond, Gao Xuwei couldn’t help but interrupt, “What’s so difficult about this? I’ll go in!
I’ll cut anywhere you tell me to. As long as I can save my precious son, so what if I cut open her entire stomach?!”
Gao Xuwei spoke aloofly and matter-of-factly.
It was as if what he was going to go in and cut open later wasn’t the woman whom he had once doted on, but an object, a sheep.
He didn’t treat the woman inside as a human!
“Uncle, you’re someone who does menial work. You don’t know how to handle such a meticulous task!” Before Lin Suisui could speak, Pei Qian had already retorted half-jokingly, “That child is in her womb. If you’re not careful enough, you might cut the child open too!”
Pei Qian’s words were like a bucket of cold water that immediately sobered up Gao Xuwei, who was eager to enter the tent. Pei Qian didn’t explain further and turned around to instruct Qian He, “Go and get my wristguard!”
While Pei Qian was quickly preparing himself, Lin Suisui also went to the place where the doctor had placed the herbs previously. She quickly arranged for someone to boil a dose of leprosy and water. Clean cotton bandages and strong alcohol were sent into the tent.
After some preparations, Lin Suisui brought Pei Qian into the tent.
Lin Suisui’s movements were fast and steady. She first used silver needles to seal a few major acupoints on the woman’s body. Then, she gently touched the woman’s abdomen to confirm the child’s location. Finally, she gently drew a line on the side. “Cut from here to here. Don’t cut too long!”
Almost as soon as Lin Suisui finished speaking, Pei Qian’s thin dagger had already slashed down at where she pointed.
Just as Lin Suisui had expected, Pei Qian’s slash was fast, accurate, and stable. He didn’t cause the woman to feel any severe pain, but made it convenient for Lin Suisui to take out the child from the womb.
She didn’t have the time to be distracted. She quickly cut the umbilical cord and handed the child, who was already suffocating, to the nanny waiting at the side. Then, she used needles to sew up the cut!
Sealing the double-layered wound tested Lin Suisui’s suturing skills. Like embroidery, this was a delicate job.
Just as Lin Suisui was about to suture the wound on the second layer of the epidermis, she finally heard a weak cry behind her. She felt relieved and began to stitch the remaining sutures more skillfully and quickly.
Seeing that there was nothing else for him to do in the tent, Pei Qian turned around and walked out without delay.
“How is it? Is my son alright?!” When Gao Xuwei saw Pei Qian come out, he rushed over and asked him anxiously.
He had been leaning against the tent. He didn’t know if he had misheard, but he heard a child crying!
“I didn’t see your son, so I don’t know if he’s alright or not!” Pei Qian raised the dagger in his hand and handed it to Qian He, who had come over. Then, he turned around and slowly washed the blood off his hands in the copper basin. “However, my cousin cried twice when I came out just now, so she should be fine!”
She?!
“It’s a girl?!” A look of disappointment flashed across Gao Xuwei’s face.
How could it be a girl?!
The fortune teller had said that this child would definitely be a son! How could…
“That’s right. Congratulations on getting a daughter.” Pei Qian turned around and looked at Gao Xuwei as he said perfunctorily, “As the saying goes, flowers bloom first and bear fruit later. As long as you continue to work hard, you’ll get what you want one day!”
“Sigh, how can it be? How can it be a girl?!” Gao Xuwei stomped his feet and sighed. Although there were constantly people congratulating him, he didn’t feel happy at all!
What could a girl do?!
If he didn’t have a son to inherit the family business that he had worked so hard on all these years, what was the point of all his hard work?!
Could those riches be brought to the underworld after death?!
“Uncle, didn’t you say before that if the Gao family has no descendants, you won’t be able to face the Gao family’s ancestors in the underworld?! Now that your wish has been fulfilled, you should be happy. Why do you still look so worried?!”
Pei Qian pretended not to hear Gao Xuwei’s complaint. He only reached out for a cup of tea that Qian He had just brewed and drank it slowly.
“She’s just a girl! How can she count as a descendant?” Gao Xuwei gritted his teeth, his face filled with frustration.
Facing Gao Xuwei’s complaint, Pei Qian couldn’t help but laugh. “Who said that a girl doesn’t count?!”
If you ask me, daughters are more reliable!
“Think about it, no matter if my cousin marries into another family or her husband marries into her family in the future, the child she gives birth to will always have half the Gao family’s bloodline. But if it had been a boy and he married in the future, are you so sure that your grandchild will have the surname Gao?!”
