Chapter 559 Abortion?

"Sister-in-law, you must listen to me. I'll have Luzhu'er watch over things here. Don't take advantage of Luzhu'er being a child and unable to control others."

After saying that, Li San Niang and Qiu Xiang went out. After a while, Li's mother, Wu Qiaolan, and Li San Niang came back in.

The group didn't come in empty-handed; some brought teapots, others chamber pots, and Li San Niang even brought a small low table.

Li San Niang placed the small table on the bed where Li Da Sao was half-lying down: "This is much more convenient. Da Sao can drink water and eat snacks here by herself, which is quite nice."

Li San Niang brought Lu Zhu'er out, while Wu Qiaolan stayed in the side hall. Li's mother had also specifically instructed Li Da Sao before coming out.

"Third Sister knows what she's doing. Since she says you can't get out of bed right now, just listen to her."

She's the one you raised since you were little; Third Aunt would never harm you.

She said that, surely it's all for your own good.

Third Sister isn't the type to lie. You wait, tonight Third Sister will definitely give you a proper explanation.

Li's mother sat on the edge of the bed and patted Li's sister-in-law's forearm. Li's sister-in-law was originally a little anxious, but Li's mother's words gradually calmed her restless and tense heart.

"Don't worry too much. We have three doctors and a midwife in our family, and Third Aunt is still such a skilled female doctor. You and the baby will definitely be fine!"

After comforting and giving some words of advice to Sister-in-law Li, Li's mother's expression turned serious as she left the side hall.

Li's mother found Li San Niang talking to Li Er Xiong in the courtyard. As soon as Li's mother approached, she heard Li San Niang say to Li Er Xiong: "...Judging from the weather, it should be half an hour before my eldest brother finishes his shift. I can only talk to my eldest sister-in-law properly when my eldest brother and Er Lang are present."

"I've troubled you, Second Brother, to send someone to tell you that you and Second Brother shouldn't stay on duty too late tonight."

After listening, Brother Li didn't ask any more questions, nodded, and turned to head towards the door.

There are quite a few men on the street who earn money by running errands. Brother Li Er stays at the medicine cabinet of the Li family clinic year-round and also handles miscellaneous tasks for the Li family. He knows quite a few people in this field.

After watching Li Erxiong leave, Li's mother asked Li Sanniang, "Tell me the truth, what will happen to your sister-in-law?"

Li San Niang pulled Li's mother a little closer to the courtyard gate, afraid that being too close to the window of the side hall would allow Li's sister-in-law to hear something.

Seeing Li San Niang's actions, Li's mother's already anxious heart tightened even more.

"I just took my sister-in-law's pulse and found that she has some blood and qi deficiency."

This is a common occurrence, especially considering the age of the eldest sister-in-law and the fact that she has only been pregnant again after many years.

Although Father had said he would give his sister-in-law some tonic, she felt she was perfectly fine and refused to drink it.

Therefore, it is perfectly normal for my sister-in-law to have symptoms of blood and qi deficiency.

But Mother, the problem is that I am a female doctor. I can directly touch my sister-in-law's belly and even look at her lower body.

Just now in the side hall, I was afraid of frightening my sister-in-law, so I didn't tell her the whole story.

Actually, there was a little blood on my sister-in-law's pants, which means she's been bleeding painlessly for several days. Combined with what I saw when I touched her belly, it seems she's experiencing threatened miscarriage!

Although Li's mother was not a female doctor, she had been delivering babies for many years and had followed Li's father for decades, so she had been influenced by the medical profession. When Li's mother heard that it was "miscarriage", she suddenly felt dizzy and was stunned for a moment. It was only after Li San Niang called her twice that Li's mother came back to her senses.

"Go on, I'm listening."

Li's mother was thinking about those women diagnosed with threatened miscarriage, who rarely managed to give birth safely. Some were lucky enough to survive, while others would die along with their unborn child!

"The only lucky thing is that I discovered it early!"

Early detection, early diagnosis, early treatment!

Mother, I will protect my sister-in-law! I will definitely protect her!

At dusk, the side hall of the Li family's house was brightly lit, as Li's mother had brought out and lit all the lamps in the house.

To avoid the stench, the window in the side hall was left slightly ajar.

The food had been on the table for a while, but none of the Li family members had touched their chopsticks. They were all waiting for Li Da Xiong and Li Er Lang to finish their shift and return home.

"Master, come in quickly. Today we have some meat buns from Wang's shop. They're savory, crispy, and delicious. You'll have to try them later."

Li San Niang invited the old doctor Liang and the young boy from Shaoyang who lived in the backyard next door.

Still half-lying on the bed, Sister-in-law Li saw that Dr. Liang had come and began to speculate about the problems with her pregnancy.

"If this... what if things go wrong, could it result in the death of both mother and child?"

Before Sister-in-law Li could dwell on her worries, there was another commotion outside the courtyard. It was Brother Li and Second Brother Li returning.

Three tables were set up. After inviting Dr. Liang, Li's father said directly, "Let's eat first. After we finish eating, we can talk properly!"

In the past, there was always some activity at the Li family's dinner time. Everyone would chat about the day's events, talk about everyday matters, and strengthen their bonds.

However, today's meal was rather unappetizing, except for the younger children like Xiao Silang and Luzhu'er, who didn't notice anything amiss and ate with relish.

After the meal, Li Sanlang led Xiao Silang, Luzhu'er, and Xiao Wulang to play in the yard. Li Ersao also went out, as she was worried about Xiao Wulang.

Sister-in-law Li was still half-lying on the bed, but now Li Erlang was sitting at the foot of the bed and Brother Li was sitting at the head of the bed.

Just now, both Li's father and the old doctor Liang took Li's pulse in front of everyone. Combined with the questioning and palpation that Li's mother had done on Li's sister-in-law that afternoon, the two of them had their own answers.

Mr. Li and Dr. Liang exchanged a glance, and Dr. Liang spoke first: "It's undoubtedly a miscarriage."

On the bright side, though, Third Sister discovered it early; it's still in its early stages. I have a wonderful remedy that's very effective for replenishing qi and blood in pregnant women. I'll write it down later.

Upon hearing this, Brother Li and Second Brother Li quickly stood up, bowed, and thanked him.

Old Doctor Liang waved his hand, telling Brother Li and Li Erlang to get up quickly, there was no need for that.

"Although I am not an expert in gynecology, I have seen several women like this in the past few decades. Although the situation is dangerous, if they are taken good care of, both mother and child can eventually be safe."

Doctor Liang turned to look at Li San Niang sitting on the other side: "However, this situation is still very dangerous. What do you think, San Niang?"

Before Li San Niang could reply, Li Da Xiong anxiously said, "We don't want this child anymore, okay?"

Is it okay to have this child aborted now?
