“Yes, indeed.” Everyone agreed with the midwife. They were afraid since things had gotten hairy just now. However, the mother and son were safe, thanks to Su Binglan and her apprentices.
The man could no longer cry as he wiped his tears and hugged his newborn baby. “Thank you, Miss Su. Thank you, midwife.”
He did not know what else to say.
The midwife could understand his feelings. “It was a close call, but your wife and son are safe now. Your son is a big boy who cries loud and clear.”
The older woman said worriedly, “Can we go in now? Has Miss Su not come out yet?”
She had seen the two apprentices helping her daughter-in-law just now. Li Su and Li Erying told the older woman she could leave, so she did. However, the older woman was worried that she could not see her daughter-in-law yet.
The midwife reentered the room and was stunned. She only knew the woman was pregnant with twins after going in. She screamed, “Another one?!”
The others standing outside were also scared silly when they heard the scream. “Two babies?!”
Previously, the family had asked a doctor to check on Wanwan, and he did not mention anything about twins. Therefore, the family always thought Wanwan was pregnant with just one child.
The man’s leg weakened even more, and he could barely stand while carrying his newborn. His mother hurriedly took the baby from him and anxiously wanted to go inside to take a look.
However, Li Erying came out after a while with another baby in her arms. She announced, “It’s a pair of twins! His mother is okay, and so are the two babies.”
Although she appeared calm, she was highly nervous—even a little excited. The children she had helped deliver were a pair of twins. Su Binglan had guided her two apprentices, and they had learned a lot.
The man was shocked. “T-Twins?”
“Yes, they’re twins. Congratulations, sir,” Li Erying replied calmly.
The man’s mother returned to her senses and said ecstatically, “What a perfect pair of twins!”
She smiled as she spoke, and the man’s father was excited, too. “A boy and a girl? That’s perfect! After all, everyone says Miss Su is a lucky star.”
The man’s mother said smilingly, “Exactly.”
Then she excitedly took another ten copper and added, “Thank you, midwife.”
The midwife smiled and took the copper. “You should thank Miss Su. I didn’t do much.’
Although her words were true, she had indeed helped Su Binglan. If word got out, it would be terrific for the midwife’s reputation. Furthermore, she had helped deliver twins, which was a much more joyous occasion.
Su Binglan was about to leave after helping Lin Wanwan pack up when the latter looked at Su Binglan and said gratefully, “Thank you, Miss Su.”
Although she had little strength left, she still wanted to thank Su Binglan. Lin Wanwan was scared and in a daze just now. She knew she could not fall asleep but could not control herself.
She was exhausted and could not muster the strength to stay conscious. However, she quickly regained her strength when Su Binglan fed her with something. Lin Wanwan did not know how else to thank Su Binglan.
“There’s no need to thank me. Take good care of yourself, okay?”
The man and his mother carried the twins and thanked Su Binglan profusely. They even took their family’s savings to give to her. Su Binglan only took two copper coins since she had principles.
She was also very persistent in not allowing the family to give her all of their savings. Besides, Su Binglan knew the family’s conditions were average and only accepted what she felt she deserved.
The family felt touched and thought Su Binglan was just as everyone said. She was a lucky star who would come to anyone’s aid. She was a kind-hearted fairy to everyone.
Since Su Wenxiu was a man, he could not enter and participate. Therefore, he anxiously waited outside for the others. He sighed in relief when he finally saw his sister and the other two coming out.
After boarding the carriage, he said, “Little Sister, I finally understand why you insisted on taking in female apprentices. Even though I have medical skills, I can’t do anything in that situation.
Su Binglan knew the people of this era were still feudal. Even if Su Wenxiu wanted to help, it would affect the woman’s reputation. Thus, Su Binglan followed this era’s customs.
She looked at Li Erying and Li Su, asking, “Why are you two so quiet? Were you scared just now?”
Li Erying returned to her senses and shook her head. “No, teacher. I was excited. I didn’t expect to help deliver twins. The feeling was indescribable when I held the twins.
“Besides, 1 just discovered my sister-in-law is pregnant. Now, I have the experience to take care of her.” Li Erying would be thrilled if she could help her sister-in-law.
“It’s good that you weren’t scared. After all, you’re still young and have yet to experience childbirth until now.”
Li Su said, “Teacher, since the earthquake, I feel my life has become even more meaningful, especially since I can learn medicine and save people.”
She could not describe her feelings but felt a sense of accomplishment.
Su Binglan looked at her two apprentices and felt proud of them. She said confidently, “Continue to study hard. You will all become outstanding doctors in a few years.”
Su Wenxiu sighed. “It looks like I must study harder too. I can’t allow my students to surpass me, can l?”
Everyone could not help but laugh when they heard his words.
After reaching Su Teng Village, Su Binglan did not let her two apprentices go home. Instead, she let them wash up at her house and made them supper. She only allowed the duo to go home after they had eaten.
Everyone was still awake when Li Erying reached home. Jiang Xiaocheng was also awaiting her return. She looked at her sister-in-law worriedly. “Erying, you’re back. Are you all right?”
Li Erying noticed everyone’s concern and felt warm inside, She knew this was what it felt like to have a loving home to return to. Her family would always wait for her with the candles lit, even if she came home late.
She shook her head, saying, “I’m fine, Sister-in-law.”
The family did not ask much when Li Erying left, so her mother asked, “What happened during your house call?”
Li Erying told them everything, shocking everyone. She had just celebrated her birthday but was still only eleven years old. The family was astounded and could not believe she had such capabilities. Everyone was prouder than anything else.
“Excellent job, Erying!” Li Dazhuang was thrilled for his sister.
Li Erying said, “Now I can take good care of Xiaocheng when she’s due.”
Old Madam Li nodded. “That’s right. You now have the medical skills to check on your sister-in-law daily. Everyone will feel more at ease then.”
Meanwhile, Li Su’s two older sisters and younger brother were still awake when she returned home, She also told them about what had happened that night. Li Mei felt her youngest sister had grown into a fine young lady.
Su Binglan was not in a hurry to rest after washing up. Instead, she went to Lan Ruozhu’s room to check on him.. She noticed he was not asleep and asked anxiously, “Brother, why aren’t you asleep yet? Do you have trouble sleeping?”
