Chapter 514 - 231: Master Li, You Were Really Careless!
Li Yang’s outfit really didn’t look like he had just arrived.
"That’s just what I heard from others, usually people aren’t allowed into the delivery room. You need a protective suit, so I specifically bought one. Do you want me to get you one too?"
Li Likun didn’t really question Li Yang’s explanation but instead said seriously, "You want to go in? No way! We all have to wait outside. Even your mom has to wait outside."
"Huh? I’ll go ask about the situation. When did Ning get to the hospital?"
"Just now, she suddenly said she wanted to eat something, so I went downstairs to buy it."
"Oh oh oh, then I’ll go talk to the doctor about the situation and see if they can allow a family member to accompany her."
Li Yang originally thought his parents had everything arranged, but now it seemed... a bit different.
His parents certainly wouldn’t save money on this matter; it’s just... they had no channels to spend the money.
Some high-end healthcare resources can’t be accessed by ordinary people even if they have some money.
You need connections in various aspects, and many people don’t even know those things exist.
For instance, if you ask about a hotel suite costing hundreds of thousands for a night, would the hotel front desk tell you?
Absolutely not!
Ordinary people can only access presidential suites that cost several thousand or ten thousand.
Li Yang accompanied Li Likun to Xue Ning’s delivery room, making calls to inquire about the situation as they walked.
When he arrived at the delivery room, he saw Wang Cuiping taking care of things, while Xue Ning was happily munching on a heap of food around her.
Once inside the delivery room, Li Yang could take off his mask because he had a valid reason to be there.
Xue Ning widened her eyes when she saw Li Yang enter.
"What are you doing here?"
Li Yang replied, "We have a new addition to the family, how could I not come? How do you feel now?"
Xue Ning smiled and said, "Everything’s normal, don’t worry, chief!"
Li Yang: "..."
About twenty minutes later, the doctors and nurses were called out of the delivery room.
About half an hour later, a new group of people came in.
Li Yang put on his mask again because this group was for delivering Bai Qing’s baby.
Soon after, they switched delivery rooms.
They moved from a room of dozens of square meters to one over a hundred square meters. The cleanliness and facilities far surpassed the previous one.
There were even two resting rooms, with food and drink, and even a specially equipped kitchen.
It was almost like being at home.
Once everything was settled, Li Likun pulled Li Yang aside and asked, "I asked the hospital before, why didn’t they mention this to me?"
"Maybe it’s... a resource limitation."
The hospital must reserve some resources to cope with any urgent situations that might arise.
They’d rather let those resources go to waste than give them out haphazardly.
Class differences exist everywhere in the world; domestically, it’s relatively better, at least there’s a channel like the university entrance exam.
Elsewhere, they don’t even give you that. A student loan can keep you down for life.
In comparison, a mortgage almost seems friendly.
He and Jiang Banxia still have a mortgage; they pay about three thousand a month.
Li Likun sighed, "Having money is still better; the hospital feels like home."
Li Yang had an idea and said, "Dad, why don’t we move to Jiangbei? Instead of living in the county town, the medical resources here are much better, many times better than in the small county."
He really didn’t want his dad entangled with those relatives. Now those relatives didn’t dare bother him, but they often troubled Li Likun privately.
And Li Likun was happy to help out with some things.
For instance, the good wine Li Yang bought him, he would take it to the village to drink with his two brothers and some relatives.
These weren’t big deals, so Li Yang didn’t bother controlling them.
He just feared his dad would spoil them, and they might demand something excessive later on.
Hearing this, Li Likun seemed hesitant and finally laughed it off, saying, "We’ll see, we’ll see. Anyway, if you all live here, I definitely support it."
"Okay, good."
...
Li Yang occasionally found excuses to go out. Bai Qing’s delivery room wasn’t far from here, one on the south side of the corridor and the other on the north.
A few hours later, reactions started coming from Xue Ning’s side, and then it turned into a battle.
Due to various reasons, Li Yang and Li Likun stayed at the door.
They could hear the cries from inside, making Li Likun pace worriedly.
Li Yang, although appearing calm on the surface, was very anxious inside.
Suddenly, the door opened, and a distressed-looking Wang Cuiping peeked through the crack, saying, "Yangyang, come in for a moment, Ningning’s calling for you."
"Huh? Okay."
Li Yang walked in.
He saw Xue Ning sweating profusely, with some of her features contorted.
For someone with her petite figure, childbirth could indeed be more challenging.
The anesthetic was ready on the side, surgery could proceed anytime.
However, Xue Ning didn’t seem very willing.
Seeing Li Yang come in, Xue Ning immediately reached out her hand.
Holding her hand, Li Yang could feel an unprecedented strength coming from her.
At this moment, Xue Ning seemed to forget everything else. Looking at Li Yang, her eyes full of yearning, she said, "Yangyang, I feel like I’m going to die. Could you... take good care of the child for me, please?"
"Don’t worry, don’t worry, nothing will happen. I’ll ask the doctor to apply some anesthetic for you. You should take a break..."
"No, I... I’ll try one last time..."
Xue Ning knew that Li Yang loved her flat tummy. If there was a scar left, who knows if he might not like it anymore?
"Alright then."
Li Yang agreed.
After all, it was nothing major.
The expertise in obstetrics and gynecology here is among the best, no matter what happens this time, Xue Ning’s life wouldn’t be at risk.
