Sister Zeng is a wife living in the family compound who goes into labor during this chapter. She has congenital heart disease since childhood but insisted on having a child despite the significant risks involved. On the morning of the labor, her water broke while she was home alone. In her panic, she tried to get up and call for help but slipped and hit her head on the bedframe, sustaining a huge swollen bump with dark bruising on the right side of her forehead, which caused her to faint. When discovered by her husband at noon, she was already four centimeters dilated but still unconscious. Yang Qingyan uses acupuncture needles to wake her up. Despite the complications of her heart condition, the umbilical cord wrapped around the baby's neck, and her unconscious state, Sister Zeng shows tremendous determination and desperation, saying she wants to save her baby. She endures painful contractions, biting her lips until they bleed but stubbornly refusing to cry out. With Yang Qingyan's guidance and medical intervention, she successfully delivers a baby girl.
