Chapter 613: Chapter 605: Unable to Give Birth Chapter 613: Chapter 605: Unable to Give Birth The young man who had gone back to fetch things had now arrived at the Sun Family’s house and he was panting as if he was about to collapse.
Coming out of the kitchen, Tang Yuxin saw the young man standing at the door, panting heavily.
Her eyes were very dark.
There was hardly any light in them, as if she was dead, or like a dormant volcano, perhaps capable of erupting at any moment.
“You…”
When the young man finally caught his breath, he did not know how to address Tang Yuxin.
She was bought by the Song family, but her status within the Song family was indeed very awkward.
She was originally purchased to serve as a bride for the Song family’s fool, but now he has not married her.
Therefore, her status is one of ambiguity: neither a wife nor a servant.
In the village, marriage usually involves a grand banquet, yet her status in the village is extremely low.
Most people in the village consider her beneath their notice and won’t engage in conversation with her.
Moreover, in the eyes of the villagers, Yuxin is mute.
Even if she speaks, it’s as though she is speaking to deaf ears.
“Auntie told you to get something from her white cabinet and deliver it.”

The young man decided to not dwell on what to call her and just went for it.Anyway, it’s just the two of them here.
Surely, this woman, no matter how silly she might be, would know who he was referring to, right?
As expected, Tang Yuxin wiped her hands on her clothes and walked into Old Lady Song’s room.
She knew exactly where everything was stored in there.
She cleaned the place every day, and except for a large box that was locked, she knew where everything else was.
Regarding that locked box, Tang Yuxin didn’t need to guess, she knew it must contain the old lady’s valuable items.
She went to a large white cabinet, crouched down, opened it, and took out a green bundle, carried it over and put it in front of the young man.
The young man awkwardly scratched his head.
“Auntie said, you need to deliver this.”
Tang Yuxin then took back the bundle.
She prepared to follow the young man.
As for…
She turned around, her gaze resting on a door for a while.
Her colorless lips tugged a bit.
Okay, she would go.
Either way, it wasn’t just her who hadn’t had a meal.
Old man Song had a temper tantrum with Old Lady Song last night and hadn’t eaten the whole day.
Of course, whether he ate or not was none of Tang Yuxin’s business.
Old man Song had been hollering earlier for food.
Now if he wasn’t going to eat, that’s even better.
The air in the room was unpleasant—take a good detox.
Tang Yuxin took the bundle and walked behind the young man.
The young man initially wanted to walk fast, but it was impossible for Tang Yuxin to do so.
Not because she lacked physical strength or could not walk, but because she had a chain locked on her ankles.
Even if she wanted to run, she couldn’t lift the heavy chain.
By the time they reached the doorway of the Sun Family’s house, the young man was drenched in cold sweat.
What would usually be a few minutes’ walk stretched into a quarter of an hour.
If it took any longer, the food would be cold, and he would probably have dug himself a pit.
He was patting his chest and sighing here, unaware of Tang Yuxin behind him, the slight furrow between her eyebrows, and the blood seeping from her chafed ankles.
“Where’s the stuff?”
Old Lady Song stretched out her hand, demanding her items.
Tang Yuxin approached, the chain rubbing against her ankle, bringing the familiar sensation of burning pain.
Her ankle had never been in good condition ever since she arrived here.
It was in a constant cycle of getting chaffed, healing, and then getting chaffed again.
Yet her life was quite tough.
Even though the old chain was full of rust, astonishingly, she had never contracted tetanus.
Despite the chain chafing her skin, raw and then healing time and again, it was gradually thickened into a callus.
Old Lady Song grabbed the bundle in one go and shoved it on a table nearby.

Everyone in the room was watching her intensely.
She opened the bundle to reveal a set of clothes and an incense burner.
After changing her clothes and lighting the incense, she paid her respects.
It made one wonder, what was she worshipping?
Just delivering a child?
Old Lady Song leisurely adjusted her clothes and neatened her hair, then finally entered the delivery room.
Inside, the Sun Family’s daughter-in-law would hum from time to time, being too weak to even cry out.
She seemed to be struggling for breath.
Tang Yuxin’s nose twitched slightly.
She could already smell a strong scent of blood.
Labour had already lasted a day and a night with no end in sight.
If they were to follow standard procedure, they would need to perform a cesarean section; otherwise, the baby might get infected from the contaminated amniotic fluid, assuming it was born at all.
She stood there, gently touching the silver needles tied to her waist.
She could save them in this kind of situation, but why should she?
She would never save those who had hurt her, for she was a woman who held a grudge.
Moreover, she was not a good person; she was worse.
What good did it bring to be a good person?
She was once a brilliant college student at a reputable university, a promising doctor in the military hospital, yet she was sold to this remote and destitute place for merely 500 yuan.
She was supposed to marry a fool and was targeted by a man nearing fifty.
She stood outside, watching everything with cold eyes.
If the others didn’t move, she wouldn’t either.
If they were waiting, she was also waiting.
They were waiting for the baby.
She was waiting for Old Lady Song.
And for that hunger-stricken Old man Song, who couldn’t even be bothered about his lifelong partner, who should care about him?
Meanwhile, Old Lady Song had entered the delivery room.
She put her experienced hands on the belly of the Sun Family’s daughter-in-law, feeling around and kneading for half an hour.
At the beginning, she was quite confident, thinking that she had delivered babies all her life.
Her midwifery skills were passed down through generations of her family.
Her family used to serve as midwives for the nobles in the palace, not everyone could master this skill.
However, she seemed to have forgotten that her skills were now outdated.
Even if she did deliver the babies for the nobles in the palace, the success rate wouldn’t necessarily be high.
Given the Daughter-in-law of the Sun Family’s condition, it was not something she could save just by claiming she could.
As half an hour passed, she became paler, looking no better than a ghost.
The scent of blood in the delivery room grew stronger, indicating that she was bleeding more and more.
