Seeing her daughter looking like she had lost her soul, Zhao's mother forced back her grief and said, "Daughter, go and take a look. They'll be taken away soon."

Zhao Sufeng suddenly broke down: "What? He was taken away? Why was he taken away? He was perfectly fine. He was fine when he went to work this morning. How could he suddenly be in trouble? I don't believe it. You're all lying to me."

She rushed to the bedside, her hands trembling as she pulled down the white sheet covering her face, revealing a very familiar face, but the complexion was already pale and bluish. Her tears flowed like a broken string of pearls. She wanted to cry, but found that her throat seemed to be blocked by something, and she couldn't even make a sound.

She pounded her chest hard, but it was no use. Gradually, she felt that she couldn't even breathe. Zhao's mother, father, and elder brother noticed that something was wrong and quickly ran over to help her catch her breath.

"Sufeng, breathe, breathe! Don't hold your breath, Mom can't take it anymore, Sufeng, hurry!" Zhao's mother's voice trembled with anxiety, and seeing her daughter's face turn pale, she cried out in fear.

Zhao's father quickly shouted, "Doctor, doctor, come quick, save him!"

Zhao Sufeng slowly came to her senses after her parents called out to her, and she regained her sense of breathing. However, when she saw her husband's face, she couldn't hold back anymore: "Wenchuan, get up, Wenchuan, what happened? How could this happen, Wenchuan..."

Overwhelmed with emotion, Zhao Sufeng fainted and was rushed into the emergency room by the arriving doctors.

Zhao Sufeng's in-laws were busy with their son's (brother's) funeral arrangements and couldn't take care of their daughter-in-law for the time being. They all thought that Zhao Sufeng had only been married for less than half a year and had no children, and now she had lost her husband. It was heartbreaking to see her like this, but they thought that she was so young that she would never be a widow, so they didn't care whether she lived or died.

The Zhao family naturally cares more about their beloved daughter, whom they have raised with utmost care. Now that she has lost her husband at a young age and suffered such a great blow, they don't know when she will be able to recover.

As a result, the thorny problem was discovered after the doctor's emergency treatment. The doctor who performed the emergency treatment was a female doctor who studied traditional Chinese medicine. She noticed that the girl's complexion was a bit off and asked the family some private questions. Zhao's mother's expression changed. The doctor examined her, thought for a moment, and then carefully took her pulse. Then her expression changed again.

She knew that the woman had fainted because she was too heartbroken to accept the sudden death of her newlywed husband. However, she had just discovered that the woman was pregnant. What should she say? Was this a happy event or something else?

Judging from the doctor's expression, Zhao's mother guessed what was going on. Before, she was worried about why her daughter wasn't pregnant yet. Now, what she least wanted was for her daughter to get pregnant. She was still so young, and she couldn't let a child burden her for the rest of her life.

"Doctor, is my daughter alright? She just suffered some kind of shock, right?"

Zhao's mother stared intently at the female doctor, who immediately understood what the family member meant. She hesitated. As a doctor, the patient's condition should be known to her family, including her in-laws. However, as a woman herself and a mother with a daughter, she could understand the family member's actions.

After hesitating several times, she nodded: "Yes, it's nothing, she was just traumatized. Her emotions are too unstable and her body has been greatly stimulated. You must take good care of her."

She was saying this to Zhao's mother, and sure enough, Zhao's mother understood immediately: "Thank you, doctor, thank you."

After she left, Zhao's father stared at his daughter-in-law for a long time, seemingly lost in thought, and finally said nothing.

Zhao Sufeng is only twenty-one years old this year. Her life has just begun, but it has already undergone earth-shattering changes. She went from a newlywed wife to a widow in the blink of an eye, which is really heartbreaking.

Fortunately, she has parents who love her dearly; parents who love their children will surely plan far ahead for them.

Jiang Ruyu saw Zhao Sufeng again about ten days later on a day off.

Zhao Sufeng came to her house to find her. Jiang Ruyu looked at her friend, who was so thin that she looked like a paper doll, and her eyes were red: "Sufeng, how can you not take care of your body? Look how thin you are. Have you eaten? Sit down quickly. Is there anything you want to eat? I'll make it for you."

Zhao Sufeng shook her head. She was feeling very frustrated and had no one to confide in. Ever since her mother found out she was pregnant, she had been pressuring her to have an abortion, but she couldn't bear to. After thinking it over, she realized that Ruyu was the only good friend she could talk to, so she came to her.

Jiang Ruyu made a cup of malted milk powder for her friend and watched her drink it. Then she gave her a boiled egg. Zhao Sufeng did not refuse her friend's kindness and ate it. Old Mrs. Jiang could tell that the girl had something to say to her granddaughter, so she sent her two grandsons out to play and went out herself.

Sure enough, only the two of them were left at home. Jiang Ruyu closed the door again, and the two sat at the desk by the window. Jiang Ruyu then said, "You must have something to say or something to ask me?"

Zhao Sufeng nodded with a bitter smile, tears welling up in her eyes before she could even speak: "Ruyu, I'm really feeling suffocated, and there's no one I can talk to about these things, so I came to you. I also wanted you to share your thoughts. Don't worry, I just want to hear different opinions, I won't force you."

Zhao Sufeng knew that she had been a bit presumptuous. Ruyu had never been one to meddle in other people's business. Usually, even when they talked about other people's exciting affairs, she would just listen and smile without commenting. She came to see her today because she knew that Ruyu was tight-lipped and wouldn't talk about her affairs with others.

Jiang Ruyi could tell that Su Fen was having a difficult decision, or rather, someone had given her advice, but she was still hesitating. She couldn't guess what it could be, but since Su Fen had said so, she couldn't very well refuse to listen.

"Okay, tell me what you think, I'll listen. I won't give you any bad advice."

Zhao Sufeng cried and told her story: "I'm pregnant. I found out at the hospital the morning Wenchuan died. My mother kept it a secret from everyone. Only my mother and father know so far. No one in Wenchuan's family knows."

Jiang Ruyu's eyes widened. She glanced at Zhao Sufeng's stomach, and Zhao Sufeng also placed her hand on her stomach, her tears flowing even more fiercely: "Wenchuan's parents thought I definitely wouldn't remain a widow for Wenchuan, so they told my parents directly that we should pretend the marriage never happened. My mother returned the betrothal gifts to them and packed up all my dowry and clothes. They discussed everything before telling me about my pregnancy. My mother has been pressuring me to have an abortion these past few days. I feel so bad. Ruyu, tell me, should I really have an abortion?"

Jiang Ruyu was instantly overwhelmed with worry. How could she ask her about something like this? What could she possibly say? Nothing she said would be right.

Fortunately, Zhao Sufeng must have been holding it in for a long time. She continued, "Although Wenchuan and I only knew each other for less than a year before we got married, people say that even a day as husband and wife is worth a hundred days of kindness. He died so young, without even a descendant. Now that I'm pregnant, shouldn't I leave him a lineage?"
