Chapter 201 Gu Ersao is pushed and unexpectedly goes into premature labor.
Faced with such a rebuttal, the families who had previously given up and taken their anger out on Lin Chang'er turned bright red.
But he still refused to admit his negative attitude and instead blamed Niu Xiaomei and He Chunhua.
"You two are both benefiting from the Gu family, do you think we don't know?"
"He who takes advantage of another's kindness is bound to do so; of course he'll speak up for the Gu family!"
Some people pointed at He Chunhua and Niu Xiaomei, saying, "You two are always hanging around that farmhand from the Gu family. Do you think we can't see it? You're practically offering yourselves up to him. He hasn't even said yes yet, but you two are already acting like you're family. Aren't you ashamed?"
Niu Xiaomei's face turned deathly pale in an instant.
He Chunhua was also furious, "What nonsense are you talking about? We were..."
Niu Xiaomei quickly tugged at He Chunhua, "Don't pay any attention to them. They're just unhappy with themselves, so they feel like everyone has wronged them, and they're picking on everyone they can!"
Hearing this, He Chunhua's expression softened, and she chimed in, "Well said! Even our little wolfhound knows to wag its tail when it gets something in return! These people take favors for granted, even as if we owe them something. They have no gratitude whatsoever; they're worse than animals."
"Who are you calling worse than an animal?" one of the men immediately became agitated and reached out to grab He Chunhua's collar.
"Stop!" She's still an unmarried young lady! If she's bullied by some stranger like this, how will she ever get married? Lin Chang'er shouted sharply and stepped forward.
But since Gu Ersao was closer and worried that He Chunhua would be taken advantage of, Gu Ersao, with her big belly, slapped the man's hand away.
The man shoved her hard with his backhand. The road was slippery from the rain, and Gu Ersao lost her balance and fell backward.
"Second Sister-in-law Gu!"
"Second Sister-in-law!"
"Erlang's wife!"
"mother!"
A gasp rippled through the crowd. Lin Chang'er reacted quickly, catching Gu Ersao to prevent her from falling. However, the mud was slippery, and Gu Ersao, being heavy, was slow to react.
Lin Chang'er didn't dare to make any big moves, so she could only act as a cushion and let Gu Ersao fall on her.
A moment later, people immediately surrounded them and tried to comfort them. Liu Zi even kicked the man who had hit them, yelling, "Watch your mouth, you bastard! What kind of man are you to lay a hand on a woman?"
Several guards sent by Wu Qingfeng to help also gathered around.
The men from the Huo family, who were originally going to unload the goods and turn back, saw this and didn't go over there anymore. Instead, they arranged for the faster ones to go find Zhou Hai.
The man was kicked to the ground and slid down the slope for about ten feet before falling into the water.
His family immediately started shouting, "Murder! The Gu family is bullying people and leaving them no way to survive..."
"God, please open your eyes and look! The Gu family's farmhand is about to kill someone."
Liu Zi: "..." Who the hell are you calling a farmhand?
No, so the farmhand they were talking about just now was him? He pondered for a long time, wondering who this farmhand these people were talking about was.
So it turns out the Joker was himself?
Liu Zi still wanted to argue with that family.
Niu Xiaomei exclaimed, "Second Sister-in-law Gu, you, you're bleeding!"
Lin Chang'er was stunned and subconsciously looked down at Gu Ersao's body. She saw bright red liquid sliding down Gu Ersao's ankles and onto the ground, spreading out in a winding, shockingly bright red color.
"Doctor," Lin Chang'er exclaimed, "My second sister-in-law must have just fallen badly and is going into premature labor."
The old woman doctor hurriedly turned back from the front of the line. When she saw Gu Ersao's appearance, she said, "Quickly find a clean and open place. We can't afford to delay."
“But it’s still at least a quarter of an hour’s journey from here to the cave,” Lin Chang’er said.
The old woman frowned. "Your sister-in-law won't live to see that day."
Lin Chang'er lowered her eyes and saw that Gu Ersao's face was pale, her hands were tightly holding Gu Erlang's, and her body was trembling slightly, probably out of fear.
Gu Erlang's face turned even paler. Gu Xiaoman had already climbed out of the basket and was tightly holding her mother's hands.
Lin Chang'er glanced around and pointed to the lawn on the high ground ahead, "Go there and temporarily set up a birthing shed with tarpaulin."
The doctor said with difficulty, "This..." The new mother cannot be exposed to the wind, and the men in the delivery room all consider it an omen of bad luck. We can't very well ask the men to form a human wall, can we? But the situation is urgent, and we have no other choice.
"Third Sister-in-law," Gu Silang, Lin Yanqing, and Zhou Li hurriedly ran back from upstairs.
Seeing Gu Ersao in this state, the young boys' brows furrowed so deeply they could have trapped a fly.
When Lin Chang'er saw them, she didn't waste any words. "You've come back at just the right time. Brother Li, take Xiao Jinyu on another trip and tell her that Second Sister-in-law is about to give birth. Please ask her to find two experienced old ladies to come back and help."
After saying that, he looked at the guards sent by Wu Qingfeng and said, "Could you please help me carry my second sister-in-law upstairs?"
The guards immediately sprang into action. Some of the tall and strong men picked up Gu Ersao, while others immediately took the oil-paper umbrellas, fearing that Gu Ersao would get wet in the rain. There were people holding umbrellas for her from both the front and the back.
Aunt Gu and Sister-in-law Gu immediately took out oilcloth from their baskets, while Gu Dalang and Gu Erlang went to the mule team to find cotton quilts.
Seeing her family members taking care of things in an orderly manner, Lin Chang'er looked at the men she had invited from the Huo family to help and said, "Everyone says that it's bad luck for men to go into the delivery room, so I shouldn't make things difficult for you all."
"Given the current weather and the harsh environment, and the fact that pregnant women cannot be exposed to the wind, I have no choice but to plead with my brothers to form a human wall to shield my sister-in-law from the wind and rain, against my conscience."
"Help my Gu family get through this crisis, and once the floodwaters recede, I, Lin Chang'er, will repay you handsomely."
After saying this, he bowed deeply to the men.
The men of the Huo family looked at each other, most of them still unmarried, and were still somewhat hesitant.
Until someone said, "What's with all this talk about bad luck? Who do women give birth for? Isn't it all for us men?"
"If we're talking about bloodshed, we've fought all the pirates, wasn't that bloody?"
"Saving a life is more meritorious than a seven-story pagoda. I, Huo Shisan, don't care about these superstitious sayings. I'll just ask Sister Lin to be my matchmaker when I get married!"
His mother said that when his eleventh brother was seriously injured, Sister Lin paid for his medicine in advance, and afterwards, tonics and supplements were sent to his house in a continuous stream.
Needless to say, the food supply practically covered his entire family's needs. Otherwise, his eleventh brother might have already passed away. So, when Sister Lin's family was in trouble, no matter what, even if it meant his life, he would step up.
As soon as he spoke up, the other men of the Huo family chimed in, "Thirteen is right. What nonsense about factories being unlucky. We have no taboos. Everyone, put away your things and let's go welcome the little baby together."
The men got to work quickly and knew their limits. They knew that what they were carrying was a family business. First, they spread tarpaulins under the big trees, then stacked the goods in an orderly manner. Once they had freed up their hands, they immediately ran to the flat slope to build production sheds like human-shaped wooden stakes.
The families who were causing trouble were already frightened by the situation and just wanted to take advantage of the chaos to catch up with the group that was taking refuge ahead of them.
Lin Chang'er didn't expect them to leave so easily. Her cold gaze locked onto these people, "If you don't want to live, don't drag others down with you."
"Given the current special circumstances, we'll let you off the hook for now."
“After the flood recedes, I will settle accounts with each and every one of you.”
