Chapter 604: Assisting a Childbirth

As for childbirth, these people could hardly go to big hospitals and mostly delivered at home. Even if they wanted to go to a big hospital outside the village, the journey would not be easy.

The village was far away from the external roads and there were no vehicles to take them there, so they had to rely on their feet. This strenuous trip was challenging even for healthy individuals, let alone a heavily pregnant woman on the verge of delivery. It seemed like they were practically risking their lives, didn't it?

Hence, most of the children in the village were born there. Perhaps due to a lifetime of laborious work, the women of the village carried on with all their duties, whether in the fields or at home, regardless of their sizeable abdomens. They couldn't afford to indulge themselves, bestowing precedence to their pregnancy. Even if they were unable to work in the fields, they still had to take care of the household chores like cooking meals and cleaning.
