She reflexively pulled her head back, but Pei Yuchen suddenly reached out and tugged at her skirt, covering half of her calves.
Song Yanzhi paused for a moment and looked at him.
Pei Yuchen straightened up and said, "Don't wear so little next time."
Upon hearing this, Song Yanzhi became displeased, "What's wrong with me dressing like this?"
Her dress is already quite conservative; there are plenty of people wearing similar outfits in public.
When the male lead's mother wore silk pajamas, he didn't think she was wearing too little.
Pei Yuchen paused for a moment, and after a long while, he said, "What I mean is, you're not wearing enough clothes, you'll be cold."
Song Yan choked on his words.
The air fell into a deathly silence.
Fortunately, the military hospital was not far away, so this atmosphere did not last long.
The car drove into the hospital and stopped downstairs. Song Yanzhi opened the car door, picked up Xiaobao, and got out.
Because they had made a reservation in advance, the two of them did not have to wait in line.
The doctor on duty was an elderly traditional Chinese medicine practitioner who seemed to hold a high position of power.
Xiao Liu, standing nearby, explained that this old Chinese medicine doctor had very high medical skills, and that he could tell what kind of illness someone had just by looking at them.
But he has a terrible temper; whatever he says goes, and you can't talk back.
Anyway, when military personnel have any difficult or complicated illnesses, the thing they fear most is encountering this doctor.
Song Yanzhi had heard of this person, but she rarely came here. Although it was much cheaper for family members to come to the military hospital, she rarely came unless it was a serious illness.
She nodded to indicate that she understood, and then followed Pei Yuchen inside.
Sitting in the consultation room was an elderly doctor in his fifties or sixties, wearing reading glasses.
When he saw someone coming, he only glanced at them before his gaze finally settled on Song Yanzhi and Xiaobao.
"You two, sit here." He pointed to the seats in front of him.
Song Yanzhi paused for a moment, then pulled Xiao Bao to sit down next to him.
The old Chinese medicine doctor examined her complexion and took her pulse, then frowned. "Your condition is not very good. You are severely anemic and have a poor complexion. This is a sign of weakness and illness. Moreover, your physical condition is not suitable for conception. Remember, you cannot have a second child, otherwise it will be very dangerous."
Song Yanzhi didn't care much about herself. She knew her problem better than anyone else; it was just anemia and poor health.
The reason I can't have children is because I suffered severe bleeding during childbirth, which damaged my genitals.
There's nothing we can do about it.
She nodded and said, "I had a lot of bleeding during my first pregnancy, and the doctor said it would be difficult for me to have a second child."
The doctor nodded. "Yes, although you might get pregnant, your body absolutely cannot handle a child. It would be very dangerous. You should think twice before proceeding. The rest are all issues related to blood and qi deficiency. I'll prescribe some medicine for you to take home and decoct, once in the morning and once in the evening. You should also pay more attention to your diet, eat more blood-nourishing foods, and focus on your body's nutrition. Once your nutrition improves, your blood and qi will naturally improve as well."
Song Yanzhi nodded and said, "I'm not the main one. Please help me look at Xiaobao's problem. He didn't start speaking until he was four years old, and he hates contact with strangers. He's not like other children who are lively and energetic. He's often alone."
The doctor nodded, looked at Xiaobao, and said, "His physique is worse than that of children of the same age. It's probably due to premature birth and inadequate nutrition, which will affect some of his physical development."
"As for your claim that you learn very quickly, that's more about talent and genetics, and has no direct relationship with physical function."
After saying that, he took Xiaobao's pulse and said, "The child's health isn't very good, and his nutrition needs to be improved. His vocal cords are developing fine; he's not unable to speak, he just doesn't like to talk, and over time, this has led to his withdrawn personality. He can't interact with outsiders, which is a psychological issue, and you, as parents, need to guide him more. Otherwise, it could have a significant impact on him when he grows up."
After hearing this, Song Yanzhi was somewhat alarmed. In the future, there will be many children with autism, most of whom will be autistic due to their original family conditions. Xiao Bao's situation is very similar to those children.
So Xiaobao's reluctance to talk is not because he was born that way.
It's just that she didn't guide him properly from a young age, making him live like a left-behind child.
Even when others say he has a problem with his brain, her first reaction is not to get angry and refute, but to question her child.
They believed that children were just as outsiders described them, so they never tried to teach them seriously.
It was never the child who was escaping reality, but the mother.
Song Yanzhi's eyes were slightly red. After thanking the doctor, she planned to get her medicine.
Pei Yuchen stood still, and she asked in confusion, "What's wrong with you?"
But then she saw him looking at her with a complicated expression. "You had a difficult childbirth, why didn't you tell me in your letter?"
When Xiaobao was born, the letter I sent only contained the words "Mother and child are safe and sound, don't worry" and "Send more money back."
These were not mentioned.
However, these words struck a nerve with Song Yanzhi, and that period was the most painful and unbearable time for her.
She was in a coma for two days due to severe bleeding. When she woke up, she heard her mother-in-law cursing her for giving birth to a stupid child who couldn't cry or make a sound.
Song Yanzhi was completely bewildered at the time.
I finally had time to write to him, but I never received a reply.
If it weren't for the dowry money she still had, given her mother-in-law's disdain and indifference towards her and Xiaobao, they would probably have starved to death long ago.
It was during that period that I didn't take good care of myself during my postpartum period, which led to my poor health later on.
Various aftereffects require painkillers to relieve year-round.
He's actually asking her why she didn't tell him?
That's absolutely hilarious.
Shouldn't he, as a man and as a father, have taken the initiative to call or write a letter to ask about his situation at that time?
