Chapter 1032: A Girl Becomes a Woman
Ah Tie now lives upstairs with his wife, and upon going upstairs, they hear a muffled, gentle moaning from inside the room.Upon entering, they see He Hua lying face up on the bed.
Yun Jiao asks Yang Ying to remove He Hua’s pants, intending to check how much her cervix has dilated.
Unexpectedly, He Hua clutches her waistband tightly, "No, no, you can’t look······"
Yang Ying, encountering such a situation for the first time, can’t help but say, "What will you do if you don’t take them off? Even the midwife would have you take them off. Or do you want your child to be born in your pants?"
He Hua struggles to reply, "My mom, my mom said I was born in her underwear."
Yun Jiao frowns, "This is no time for shyness."
"We’re both women, what are you afraid of! You’ll have to take your pants off eventually!"
He Hua loosened her grip on the waistband a bit, and Yang Ying swiftly pulled her pants down.
Fortunately, it’s still warm, and she was only wearing one layer.
At this moment, He Hua’s legs were still tightly shut, and Yun Jiao, amused and exasperated, had to gently say, "Spread your legs; otherwise, the child won’t be born."
Yang Ying quickly chimed in, "Do you plan on keeping the child inside?"
After hesitating for a moment, maternal instinct prevailed, and He Hua finally slowly opened her legs.
At this moment, Yun Jiao suddenly recalled something she’d read before.
It’s not men who turn girls into women, but the birthing bed.
Once on the birthing bed, you have to expose your body’s most private parts to strangers.
By overcoming embarrassment and passing this hurdle, a woman’s once precious body becomes less so.
It’s like breaking some kind of psychological taboo.
Yun Jiao herself deeply understood this; after giving birth to You Er, when returning from Da Jin to Xiang City, she sometimes wouldn’t even notice if there were men around while nursing at an inn.
At that moment, her only concern was whether the child was hungry, never considering whether her unintentional exposure would disturb others.
Yun Jiao took a look, calmly saying, "The cervix is only two fingers dilated; it’s still early."
She then said to Yang Ying, "Yingying, go downstairs and tell Chun Bozi to prepare some hot water."
She asked He Hua, "Did you buy the new scissors?"
He Hua quickly brought her legs together again, "Yes, they’re in, in the drawer."
Yun Jiao said, "When you’re not in pain, it’s best to get up and move around a bit; it’ll help during delivery."
He Hua gritted her teeth and got up, "I, I’m not in much pain."
Yun Jiao went over to support her, but He Hua quickly dodged sideways.
She had heard from Ah Tie that Doctor Gu was a National Lady, a person of great honor; how could she dare to let her provide support?
Yun Jiao, seeing He Hua avoiding her, shook her head with a helpless smile, "What if you fall from the pain because I’m not supporting you?"
She forcibly supported He Hua, who dared not avoid her anymore.
The two of them began walking back and forth along the corridor.
When the pain became intense, He Hua would lean against the wall to catch her breath. When the contractions paused, she continued walking.
Suddenly, they heard loud footsteps on the stairs; Ah Tie was bringing the midwife up.
The midwife asked He Hua to go inside and lie down.
At this moment, Chun Bozi came up carrying a copper kettle, and Yang Ying also brought up the medical box.
Yun Jiao sterilized the scissors and then asked the midwife to carefully clean her hands with her disinfectant solution.
The midwife asked He Hua to spread her legs.
Fortunately, He Hua had just gone through Yun Jiao’s encounter and was a bit more relaxed. She hesitated for only a short moment before spreading her legs.
The midwife looked and also said, "It’s still early."
