Chapter 53 Someone from the Qi family is coming
Just as Sun Sicheng rushed to Baicao Valley, Wu Min went on a mountain trip with his father-in-law Qi, and his brother-in-law Qi Wei came to Qi's house in Yong'an Prefecture.
When Qi Jiaojiao saw her husband and her father and brother had arrived, she didn't know what to say for a moment after welcoming them into the living room.
"Is the child okay these days?" Qi Shanxing looked at his daughter in front of him with mixed feelings.
"Overall, I'm fine. I've been taking my medicine."
Wu Min said, "Madam, didn't you bring Ping'er to see a doctor? What did your eldest cousin say? My classmate's second son was also a premature baby, but he is doing very well now. It's not impossible to treat him."
Qi Wei saw that his sister was hesitant. He knew his own sister well and she must be hiding something from everyone.
"Sister, don't hide anything. Everyone is very busy. Your husband will take the provincial examination in a few months. My father and I's herbal medicine business is also in trouble. We don't have time to waste."
It takes five or six days to go from Huainan Prefecture to here and back, and that’s just on the road. If we delay here for a few more days, ten days will be gone.
Wu Min also sighed. His wife was a thoughtful person and sometimes he simply couldn't see through her.
But because she once saved his life, he was willing to accommodate her in some small matters.
"Ma'am, what happened?"
"Dad, big brother, husband, Ping'er's illness is not just physical weakness, she also has a very serious heart disease."
"What?" Before she finished her words, Wu Min and Qi Wei were shocked. Heart disease, or a very serious one, doesn't that mean it is incurable?
How come they don’t know?
Qi Shanxing felt bitter. He was the only one who knew about this matter because he had seen his granddaughter having an attack before. He found out later after asking Siyuan carefully.
Siyuan thought that everyone in his family must be aware of this matter, but he had no idea that his daughter had such a big idea.
This daughter is too disobedient and stubborn. She has harmed herself, her children, and even her son-in-law.
He looked at his son-in-law in front of him with complicated feelings. He was a young man of about twenty-six or twenty-seven years old, handsome and tall, and indeed a man of good appearance.
Everything is fate.
Qi Jiaojiao knew that she could no longer hide the truth. Without the signed consent forms from these relatives, her cousin would never treat her daughter.
And for myself, getting pregnant is also a problem.
“When we first got married, my eldest cousin diagnosed my pulse and told me that I had hurt myself giving birth to Sheng Er and that I had not properly taken care of myself during the confinement period. I would need at least five years of care before I could get pregnant.
But I got pregnant soon after. I was reluctant to have an abortion and I didn't dare tell you. My eldest cousin insisted that I couldn't have Ping'er, saying that pregnancy would not be good for either me or the child. But he went out of town soon after. My second cousin couldn't convince me and wanted to look for you, but I stopped him.
After more than seven months of pregnancy, I really couldn't bear it anymore, so I gave birth to a daughter prematurely. When she was over one year old, I found that she had heart disease and a weak constitution. At that time, my husband happened to be taking an examination at the palace, so I didn't tell you.
In the past few years, her eldest cousin has been the main person treating her, and her second cousin has been helping out. Since March this year, Ping'er's heart disease has become more and more serious. With great difficulty, my eldest cousin came back this time, and I hurriedly brought her here.
But my eldest cousin insisted that you come over before he would treat the child. He said he could not guarantee that the child's illness could be controlled. Some things must be said in advance. Otherwise, let me find another famous doctor. Is there anyone in this area who is more capable than my eldest cousin?
The imperial doctors in the capital are very capable, but will they treat us? Besides, the capital is thousands of miles away, Ping'er can't stand it at all. What if she gets sick on the way? What should we do?
As for me, I was also found to be pregnant this time. Both of my cousins said that it would be better for me to wait a few years to have a child so as not to take risks. But what if it is a son? I want to give my husband a son. "
There was silence in the room.
Qi Shanxing and his son and Wu Min were all stunned.
Qi Jiaojiao swallowed her saliva: "Dad, you..."
Qi Shanxing suddenly burst into tears: "Don't call me dad, you are my ancestor."
He became a widower at the age of thirty, and almost twenty years passed in the blink of an eye. Fearing that his children would suffer, he never remarried.
My son has been doing relatively well. Although he is not outstanding, he has always helped with the family business. Now he can even take a break and support the family business on his own.
Apart from not having a very close relationship with the daughter, the daughter-in-law keeps the house tidy and teaches the children well.
But his daughter had always had a rough life. She did not marry into the Sun family when she was young. That would have been fine. He originally planned to marry her to an old friend who was in business. She would live a rich life and would not be bullied by her parents-in-law.
But she wanted to marry a scholar from the county town, and she wanted to become an official's wife.
As a result, less than three years after she got married, her son-in-law died unexpectedly. He felt sorry for her being a widow before the age of 20, so he brought his son to negotiate again and again.
His grandson was only two years old, and he felt sorry for him. Considering that he was the grandson of the Chen family, he would never let the child suffer too much. His grandson was a boy and he could not be without his own clan. But his daughter insisted on taking the child away, otherwise she would commit suicide.
After going through untold hardships and using a dowry of ten thousand taels of silver to buy freedom for the mother and son, a year had passed.
On the way back home, he had to go out of town for business and only let the coachman, maid and old woman accompany her back. Unexpectedly, she accidentally saved a person because of the temporary change of route and fell in love with him at first sight. A month later, after she saved the person and he was completely safe, she had lost her memory and could not remember anything except reading.
He wanted to help find her relatives, and his daughter knelt down and begged him, believing that this was the fate given to her by God, otherwise how could a young widow with a son find a suitable partner.
He didn't think it was a good thing. What if the man had already married and had children? Just because he couldn't remember it for a moment didn't mean he couldn't remember it for the rest of his life. He asked his daughter more than once, "When you rescued the man, didn't you find a package?"
But my daughter insisted that there was no such thing.
He always felt that there was something behind his daughter's slightly evasive gaze, but his daughter refused to admit it. What could he do?
This was the knot in his heart. Could it be that his daughter lost someone else's package?
What if there is someone's pass inside? How dare you throw it away?
Even if you are not married, people are not born into this world out of thin air. We all have parents. If your parents send you away and never come back, and you are left alone in your old age, what should you do?
Because of this, even though the two of them later got married, he rarely cared about his daughter. If there was any problem, his son would help.
He couldn't get over the hurdle in his heart, and this time he came because he heard about his poor granddaughter, otherwise he wouldn't have come.
But when he heard that his daughter had hidden so much and had kept it a secret for so many years, he got angry. If she had the guts to disregard her own health and the risks, why did she go after her family?
"Dad, this is not the time to be angry. You should discuss the matter between my sister and Ping'er with your brother-in-law."
Wu Minxin sunk to the bottom of the valley. After years of making inquiries from many sources, there was no clue. She received treatment, but her memory did not recover at all.
Last year, he finally caught Sun Sicheng and gave him acupuncture, but the effect was not obvious. Occasionally, a little memory would flash by, but he couldn't catch it at all. This time, in addition to his daughter's matter, he also wanted to see Sun Sicheng again.
His parents and relatives were under the same sky but could not recognize each other. Whenever he thought of this, he could not sleep at night.
He is now twenty-six or twenty-seven years old, and his parents are getting old. If a son cannot take care of his parents and see them off until they are old, what kind of person is he?
He even made a rough estimate of his age and picked a name at random, then found connections to register a household.
With no other options, he chose to study hard, hoping that once he found his parents and relatives, he could give them a better life.
He couldn't say he was good to his wife, nor was he bad either. This should be the case for all couples, right? Love is certainly not as important as studying.
This daughter is currently his closest relative in this world. For several years since she was born, her body has always been weak and frail. She cannot play or jump around freely. But his wife now says that it is because of her stubbornness that led to her current situation.
This left him speechless.
Is he still my husband? Can't we discuss such a big thing?
