Chapter 614
Chapter 614: Chapter 606: Neither Mother nor Child is Safe Chapter 614: Chapter 606: Neither Mother nor Child is Safe The sanitary conditions here were primitive, without intravenous fluids or medicine.
Simply allowing the blood to flow, it would truly be a miracle if the child was born, let alone if both mother and child could remain safe and sound.
The latter would be a miracle within miracles.
Quickly, the back of Old Lady Song’s clothes was soaking wet, but the child hadn’t been born yet.
By this time, Sun Family’s young wife seemed to be running out of breath.
Old Lady Song stretched out her hand and pinched her harshly.
When the young wife felt pain, all the muscles on her body cramped, but this pain was nothing compared to the pain of childbirth.
While Old Lady Song was not a particularly good person, one had to admit she didn’t boast without reason in some respects.
She didn’t know if her ancestors had delivered children for the women in the palace, but she indeed had some skills.
What other midwives couldn’t manage, she really achieved.
Probably half an hour later, Old Lady Song finally delivered a baby, all purple, along with a mother who was barely breathing.
Old Lady Song raised her hand and slapped the child’s buttock, but there was no response from the child.
“No good, it’s not breathing.”
Old Lady Song sighed.

Even though her relationship with the old Sun family wasn’t good, and the two families were like enemies, the newborn child was so fragile that it was heartbreaking.
It was a pity that the child was stuck in the womb for too long, and couldn’t be saved.
When the people outside heard that a child had been born, but it was a stillborn, they all sighed.
The old Sun family’s misfortune had really reached a peak.
Under their family’s circumstances, they likely only have one offspring.
The child was just born and had lost its life, and it was a boy too.
Old Lady Sun was holding the lifeless child and began to cry loudly.
The men of the Sun family also sighed and groaned, their eyes turning red, but they were powerless.
“That’s bad.
The woman has also lost a lot of blood.”
A midwife lifted the blanket off Sun family’s daughter-in-law, and saw she was in bad shape, with the blood gushing out like a small stream, and it looked more ominous than propitious.
In such a situation, the life of the Sun family wouldn’t be easy.

If both the daughter-in-law and child were gone, there would be no hope for the Sun family in the future.
The members of the Sun family were all standing numbly, waiting for the people inside to announce the death of the young daughter-in-law.
Whether she lived or died, they were helpless and could only resign themselves to fate.
In such a place where medical skills were severely lacking.
Human life was indeed very fragile.
“Bury it.”
Old Lady Sun handed the child to her son.
The village had such a custom.
Children who were born dead couldn’t be buried in the cemetery.
They could only be casually buried in a pit in the ground.
When Old Lady Song came out, she saw Tang Yuxin still standing there.
She felt upset right away.
She didn’t know if it was because she hadn’t delivered the child successfully for some reason, but she vented the anger in her belly directly at Tang Yuxin.
“What are you still doing here?
Not doing the work in the fields?
Not planting vegetables?”
Tang Yuxin lowered her eyes.
She could feel that the way others looked at her was not as if she was a person, but as if she was some kind of anomaly.
Yes, she was not a human.
She was a dog, a dog bought by the Song family for five hundred yuan, a dog that could be used like a horse or an ox.
She turned around and walked out, heading towards the fields.
The iron chain on her feet occasionally scraped against the ground, making a clang noise, and this sound was somewhat harsh.
Not far away, a woman sat there, holding a wild grass in her hand, laughing foolishly, her clothes covered in mud and dirt.
“Hehe…” she cracked a smile again, with saliva flowing down the corners of her mouth.
Tang Yuxin stopped and stood in front of the foolish woman.
The foolish woman glanced at her, and then laughed hehe again, her eyes devoid of any other color, only a sense of numbness and stupidity.
This woman had lost her mind.
Tang Yuxin knew.
She also knew that this was one of the three women who were sold into the village along with her.
This one lost her mind, the other was locked in the dark room, and it was said that she was already pregnant.
But whose child it was, whether it was the son’s or the father’s, no one knew.
These purchased women were the least valuable and had no respect.
Even survival seemed like a luxury.
Tang Yuxin lowered her head to look at the iron band on her feet.
Her body was bound, but these few women were not just buried here with their bodies, but their souls as well.
She continued to walk forward, a sense of melancholy inevitably arising in her heart.
There was a hint of moisture in the corners of her eyes, but she forcibly suppressed it.
The chain was still dragging on the ground, from time to time making that metallic sound of hitting the ground.
There was also the the feeling of the chain grinding against her skin, unbearably painful, but she didn’t know who it was hurting.
In the fields of the Song family, Tang Yuxin was pulling weeds.
Even though the grass was dried up, there were still lots of it.
She sometimes stared into the distance, seeing only a continuous range of mountains.
She wondered how many years had they been there?
Not to mention a foreigner like her, even the indigenous people who had been living here for generations wouldn’t easily go there.
There might be some good things over there, but no matter how good they were, one had to be alive to enjoy them.
There was only one road out of the village and only one road that one could walk out on, but this one road had dashed the hopes of all these people.
As long as they dared to escape, the whole village would come out to capture them, and they…
Couldn’t escape.
Off in the distance, a man was digging a hole with an iron shovel, and there was a small bundle beside him, seemingly filled with something.
While digging, the man suddenly stood up, then held onto his stomach.
He carelessly threw the chain to one side, checked his surroundings, and then retreated behind a large tree to relieve himself.
Tang Yuxin thought for a moment, then stood up and walked over.
She squatted down in front of the bundle and carefully untied it.
Inside was indeed a lifeless infant.
The infant was small with wrinkled skin and a small face about the size of an adult’s palm.
She put her hand under the baby’s nose; there was no breath.
She cautiously felt the baby’s tiny wrist; it was so fragile that she felt like she could break it with one finger.
