" I can do it," As Yu Dong spoke, she instilled ayer of spiritual energy inside the belly of the mer to pad the child lest it suffocate. " You two pay attention to him and make sure that he isfortable, as soon as the child is in the right position help him give birth."
When Ye Liu and Fang Chi saw that Yu Dong was calm and not flustered, they also calmed down. Looks like Yu Dong knew what to do, they did not need to worry about anything.
Yu Dong ced her hand on the belly of the mer who stiffened as he had never been touched by another woman.
Seeing this Yu Dong immediately said in a low voice, " You need to rx, if you don''t then your child might die." Only then did the mer force himself to rx while Yu Dong pushed the child into the correct position, her brows were tightly furrowed as she looked at the mer''s belly and even with her spiritual energy padding the child, there were a few times when the heartbeat of the child faltered.
Fortunately, Yu Dong had cultivated for a few months and she could instil more spiritual energy to make sure that the child wouldn''t die.
" I am leaving, take note of the child. I think he is dted enough now to push," Yu Dong''s hands were fast and steady which caused the child to get into position very soon. And as soon as the child was in the correct position, she moved out of the greenhouse while Ye Liu washed his hands and then put on the gloves that were left behind by Yu Dong.
He checked the dtion of the mer and nodded before turning to look at Fang Chi as he said, " He is already fully dted, help him push."
" Okay," Fang Chi immediately crouched down next to the mer and then said in a gentle voice, "There is no need for you to be scared. When I say stop you need to stop pushing and when I say push, you need to push all right? Don''t push without mymand and waste your energy, you are too weak and cannot waste any more energy, understand?"
The mer nodded in understanding. Even though he felt like he was dying for the sake of his child he was willing to hold on.
At this point, Yu Dong was already out of the greenhouse. She could not allow her name to be connected with another mer, given how many people were eyeing her, she needed to be really careful. As soon as she stepped out, the wife of the mer immediately rushed towards Yu Dong and asked,
" Madam Yu, how…how is my husband?"
" I have already corrected the position of the fetal, he is ready to give birth. By now he might have already started pushing," replied Yu Dong.
No sooner did she finish speaking, than the mer inside the greenhouse screamed.
" ARGH! It hurts! It hurts so much!" The mer cried out in pain as the contractions became more and more intense causing his face to turn pale. Compared to a woman giving birth, a mer''s contractions were even more intense causing him to almost die in between of the birth if not taken care of properly.
" Stop screaming. Conserve your strength and keep drinking this sugar water," Ye Liu told the mer as he pushed the bowl closer to the mouth of the mer. The mer was not in his senses since he was in so much pain but maybe it was because he was hungry, he instinctively gulped down the sugar water which was being fed to him.
With the sugar water going down his throat, the mer recovered a bit of his energy and once again started to push ording to Fang Chi''smands. Perhaps the mer was too weak resulting in his child being too small and thus, he gave birth to his child not long after.
After the mer gave birth Fang Chi wrapped his child in a thick nket and then covered his ears with a small hat before bringing the child outside while Ye Liu helped the mer with post-delivery procedures including cleaning him up.
Fang Chi brought the child to the mother after cleaning him up and handed the child to the woman, " Congrattions, it''s a girl."
The woman took the child in her arms carefully. Sheughed upon seeing the child breathing and crying and heaved a sigh of relief, no one knew but this child was her hope. Her family was poor and she did not have enough money to marry a mer, it was after a lot of savings that she was able to buy a mer from the town.
With her situation it was impossible for her to marry a mer from a decent family, if this mer died then she could forget about getting married for another six to seven years as she had bought thend on loan and was yet to pay the money back to Yu Dong including the green house''s payment.
With this child, her family line finally had a chance to survive.
" Thank you for saving my child and husband, Madam Yu. We will never forget your kindness," the woman carried the child in her arms while bowing in front of Yu Dong in gratitude.
Yu Dong nced at the woman who was bowing in front of her and then turned to look at the mer inside the greenhouse. He fainted after pushing the child as he was too fatigued, she couldn''t help but question, " Why is your mer malnourished? I gave funds and rations to mers whose financial situation was not good. Didn''t I?"
Because Yu Dong wanted to make sure that the pregnant mers who were poor would not die, she handed Shen Li the responsibility of handing a small mary sum including some food rations to their wives. Which was why it did not make sense for this mer to be so weak.
A trace of resentment shed through the eyes of the woman as she replied to Yu Dong''s query, "It is my stepfather. I am just a small mason and cannot earn much,ter on, I fell from a building and lost control of my right arm.
But the reason I fell was because of my stepfather''s daughter, she worked in my team and was under my control butter on, she became greedy and pushed me off the building. She took my team and left me to starve, my stepfather supported her and as Madam Yu might already know with a stepfatheres a stepmother."
" My mother doesn''t care about me and doesn''t allow me to separate either. So when my husband got pregnant, they took away the funds that were given to us including the ration and sold it to earn money. I couldn''t work with my broken hand and could only take a loan from Master Shen who felt pity towards my family."
