"Elder Madam Xu, quickly make a decision. Do you want to save the mother or the child?"
"Is there a need to ask? Of course it's to save the child!"
"No, we can't live without mother…"
"Boohoo… I want my mom, I want my mom…"
"Get lost! Your jinx of a mother jinxed your father to death. At least she'll manage to do something good by giving birth to a son!"
"Boohoo…"
…
"Shut up! We're saving both!"
A low growl suddenly interrupted the chaotic mess of voices.
It was as if someone had pressed the pause button. Everyone stopped for a moment.
"You money-losing good-for-nothing, what are you shouting about? Get lost!" That harsh voice sounded again.
Hua Jiujiu rubbed her temples, her head pounding as she struggled to get up from the ground.
She didn't expect that she'd collapse on the operating table from exhaustion.
When she woke up again, she had become a pitiful farm girl in this ancient era where men were superior to women.
She didn't know if it was because her body hadn't adapted or if it was something else, but she felt that she was floating.
In the next second, she felt a sharp pain in her head again. Memories that did not belong to her attacked her, almost knocking Hua Jiujiu out again.
"It's bad. Bai Zhi fainted." The Hua family's third daughter-in-law, Li Bing, ran out in a panic.
"What? Why did she faint now, of all times?!" Elder Madam Xu was so angry that the fat on her body was trembling.
"Wake her up. She must give birth to my grandson!" Elder Madam Xu brought over a basin of water. "Go and splash her awake."
Li Bing did not dare to resist. She took the basin of water and was about to enter.
When Hua Jiujiu heard this, she suddenly snapped out of it and ran over to slap the basin of water away.
She shouted coldly, "Are you trying to kill her?!"
What kind of person would pour cold water on a pregnant woman in the middle of giving birth? This woman was simply too vicious!
"Pfft, kill her?" Elder Madam Xu pushed Hua Jiujiu. "You money-losing good-for-nothing, how dare you attack your third aunt? Are you trying to rebel? Get lost."
Hua Jiujiu, who was already lightheaded, was pushed to the ground by Elder Madam Xu. Her palm was cut by a stone, and blood flowed into the lotus flower-like birthmark on her palm.
A burning sensation came from her palm, but she thought it was because of the injury and did not pay much attention to it.
Hua Jiujiu wanted to get up from the ground, but for some reason, she could not exert any strength.
She could not let these people act recklessly!
Just now, she had received all the memories of this farm girl's body and knew how much this mother, who was having a difficult labor, loved her. She had never known familial love since she was young, and now felt blissful and satisfied from her current mother's feelings.
Therefore, how could she not care?
She couldn't let anything happen to her mother!
At this moment, a large hand reached over.
Hua Jiujiu grabbed onto that big hand without thinking.
The man used just a bit of force and pulled Hua Jiujiu up.
Hua Jiujiu did not have the time to see who that person was. She hurriedly thanked him and turned around, not noticing that the owner of the huge hand had a pair of deep, unique eyes. It was obvious that he was not an ordinary villager.
As Hua Jiujiu walked, she shouted at her two equally skinny sisters, "Second Sister, Third Sister, stop them outside. I'll go save Mother!"
The two sisters immediately stopped crying when they heard their sister's voice. They ran over and grabbed onto the legs of the people trying to enter, refusing to let them in.
When Hua Jiujiu saw this, she hurriedly ran in. As she ran, she thought about how to ensure the safety of both mother and son in this primitive environment.
From what the midwife said just now, she knew that her mother must be having a difficult labor.
In ancient times, difficult labor was a very complicated thing. If one was not careful, it would easily result in the death of both mother and child!
