After Huang Daniu's mother finished asking, a woman replied immediately. "The midwife isn't here yet. Lang'er went to get her. She should be here soon."
Huang Daniu's mother went back into the house. The women stopped gossiping. Everyone was doing what they could to help.
Not long after, a figure ran into the courtyard. People heard an old woman speak up. "Don't panic, don't panic. I'm old and can't walk as fast as you young people."
Huang Lang'er put down the midwife, Granny Hu and said, "Granny Hu, my wife is about to give birth. She's in so much pain. Please help her."
Granny Hu smiled. "This is what every woman has to go through. It's impossible not to feel pain. Don't worry, my hands are called blessed hands. I've delivered a dozen children. Don't worry."
She had indeed delivered many children, and every time, it was smooth-sailing, so everyone in Huanghu Village respected her a lot.
