Mother, how is Third Sister-in-law?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked at Mrs. Gu, lying on the bed, her gaze showing a hint of sympathy. On normal days, she disdained Mrs. Gu's meek and peace-seeking demeanor, but now, as a woman and having faced difficulties together, she was somewhat worried for her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Still unable to give birth,\" Mrs. Wang answered first, then said to Old Mrs. Qin, \"Mother, you should go wash up first, and then have a bowl of ginger soup. We can handle things here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lady and Great Aunt should both go, you've been caught in the rain.

If possible, invite a doctor to come stay with us. Add some brown sugar to that ginger soup, and beat a couple of eggs into it, let your Third Aunt gather her strength.
