kept growing, Lin Ping’er began to arrange for a midwife.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu didn’t have much faith in the village midwives.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ancient birthing methods seemed rather backward, and she herself, being a medical student, couldn’t quite accept them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, even though she didn’t agree, what could she do?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if her medical skills were excellent, she couldn’t help herself during childbirth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To maintain consciousness would be quite an achievement, especially since this was her first child, and her petite sixteen-year-old body isn’t fully developed, making childbirth very risky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, she had no choice but to place her hope on the famed village midwife.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At worst, she would teach her mother about sterilization and make sure she was thoroughly clean.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My girl, you’re young and probably don’t understand these things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This midwife Ji Wenpo is extremely popular throughout villages.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Your aunt sought her help while giving birth to your little cousin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Also, many babies in our village were delivered with her help, both mother and child are safe and sound.” Lin Ping’er explained to Bai Ruozhu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During those times, childbirth was akin to walking through the Ghost Gate, an act that could easily result in a loss of life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, Ji Wenpo managed to deliver countless babies without a single mishap, which was quite impressive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fine, mother, whatever you decide will be fine.” Bai Ruozhu knew her mother was very meticulous and always had her best interests at heart, so she had no objections.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Satisfied that Bai Ruozhu had no objections, Lin Ping’er continued, “Well, we should visit Ji Wenpo tomorrow, and also bring her some gifts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s only with her agreement that we can proceed, given her numerous commitments, she might not necessarily agree to it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It appeared that Ji Wenpo had a busy schedule.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Okay, I also want to meet her.” Bai Ruozhu said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The following morning, Lin Ping’er carried a basket with half a basket of eggs and some freshly picked vegetables, pulling Bai Ruozhu towards Liuye Village.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Wenpo lived in Liuye Village to the south of Back Mountain Village.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It didn’t take long to reach there by foot, however, considering Bai Ruozhu’s pregnancy, Lin Ping’er decided to hitch a ride on a passing ox cart, handing over some money as fare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two arrived in Liuye Village swiftly and marched to the Ji family’s home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure enough, they saw someone knocking on the Ji family’s door when they arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Ping’er looked at Bai Ruozhu, saying somewhat worriedly, “I wasn’t expecting Jin Wenpo to be so popular.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We’ve run into others who have reached here just like us.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s go and take a look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If she’s available, then it’s good, if not, we can’t force her to.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let’s just go with the flow,” Bai Ruozhu reassured her in an attempt to allay her mother’s worries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Ping’er nodded, supporting Bai Ruozhu by the arm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both of them went over to knock on the Ji family’s door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The door was opened from inside by a young boy, seemingly himself a teenager.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re here to see my grandma, aren’t you?” the young boy asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The woman who arrived ahead of them was a lean, dark-skinned old woman who quickly answered, “Yes, yes, I was here first.” Her demeanor and tone appeared as if she feared Bai Ruozhu and her mother might steal the slot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu couldn’t contain her laughter at this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Wenpo was indeed highly sought after.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We’re also here to meet Ji Wenpo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Excuse us, could you pass on this basket of fruits, please?” Lin Ping’er politely asked the boy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Being the daughter-in-law of the Scholar family, her conduct and manners were unlike the ordinary village women.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young boy couldn’t help but give Lin Ping’er and Bai Ruozhu a once-over before he said, “You all wait in the yard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My grandma is discussing something with someone.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was it just their bad luck to reach during peak hours, or was Ji Wenpo’s house always bustling like this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, thank you, young sir.” Bai Ruozhu nodded to the young boy in gratitude.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dark-skinned, skinny old woman appeared quite dissatisfied, grumbled under her breath, “This always happens.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I got here first, yet they take advantage of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hmph.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With his sharp ears, the young boy glared at her as she hastily put on a smile and replied, “I didn’t say anything, truly.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young boy gave a cold snort in response, quite intimidating, causing the skinny old woman to keep silent, shrink her neck, and enter the house.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu also followed suit and entered the yard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young boy moved a stool over, saying to Bai Ruozhu: “You sit.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu saw that there was only one stool, and with her mother not sitting, she felt a bit embarrassed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The boy then sternly said, “My grandma instructed that any pregnant woman visiting must be seated, lest problems arise that would be blamed on us.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Ping’er hastily nudged Bai Ruozhu with her elbow, saying, “Hurry up and sit.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu had no option but to sit down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She decided to accept the preferential treatment that comes with being pregnant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a while, an old woman leading a heavily pregnant woman appeared from the main hall, both wearing joyful expressions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed that Ji Wenpo had agreed to help.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, the skinny old woman hastily rushed forth, “Ji Wenpo, I am from the Liu family in Houtang Village.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could you consider assisting my daughter-in-law in childbirth?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Bai Ruozhu looked over, getting her first glimpse of Ji Wenpo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was a lean woman in her fifties.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An ideal midwife would have accumulated ample experience through delivering numerous babies, but without sufficient vigor, they wouldn’t be able to manage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, being in her fifties seemed perfect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Wenpo had a stern look and, glancing emotionlessly at the skinny old woman, she coldly said, “Bring the person here first, then we’ll discuss.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only then did Bai Ruozhu observe that the skinny old woman had arrived all by herself without her pregnant daughter-in-law, her hands completely empty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Noticing this, Lin Ping’er quickly moved forward to greet Ji Wenpo, “Ji Wenpo, I’ve brought my daughter to trouble you,” as she handed Ji Wenpo the basket she carried.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The skinny old woman was restlessly rolling her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only now realizing her mistake in coming empty-handed, she told Ji Wenpo: “I will come back with my daughter-in-law this afternoon.” After saying this, she trudged away feeling dejected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“They’re all from our own home, not worth much.” Lin Ping’er said apologetically, “I want you to assist my daughter during childbirth, and we’ll respect your terms for compensation.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the previous visitors who discussed terms with Ji Wenpo gone, Ji Wenpo handed over the basket to the young boy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her attitude towards Bai Ruozhu and her mother turned a bit friendlier, although she was not overly warm, “Talk inside.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three of them went inside and the young boy closed the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How far along are you?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How has your health been normally?” Ji Wenpo looked at Bai Ruozhu and directly asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu quickly bowed in salutation, “I am almost eight months along.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’ve been feeling well, getting good sleep and eating hearty meals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My legs haven’t swollen at all.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Wenpo scanned Bai Ruozhu from head to toe and, satisfied, nodded her head in approval, “You’ve nurtured yourself quite well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Come here, let me have a look.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu guessed that Ji Wenpo chose to deliver babies of those women who had healthy bodies and promising development.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On one hand, she didn’t want to risk complications and, on the other hand, she didn’t want her reputation tarnished due to complications with any particular patient.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu walked up to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, Ji Wenpo stretched her hand towards Bai Ruozhu’s belly, startling her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Ruozhu instinctively feared anyone touching her belly, even her mother hardly did.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How can I help you with childbirth if you won’t let me examine the baby?” Ji Wenpo said in a strict tone.\u003C\u002Fp>",1362,"2026-05-30T14:08:51.304Z","2026-06-01T04:31:25.023Z",1,"novelbin.me","68a7950ed803a7d4378ef9e705f05da82f7ae337b1795c62a37812d6d5fb995f","abandoned-woman-busy-farming-chapter-55","abandoned-woman-busy-farming-chapter-53",2707,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fabandoned-woman-busy-farming-cover.jpg"]
