Chapter 44 It turns out that when he couldn't see, she actually...
After opening her eyes, Tang Mingmei stared at Tang Mingli, unable to distinguish whether it was a dream or reality, this life or the previous life.
In the midst of utter confusion, she uttered, "Am I going to die?"
Tang Mingli told her, "No, you're just a little weak, you won't die."
These words finally brought Tang Mingmei's thoughts back to normal, and she couldn't help but laugh at herself for thinking it was her previous life.
The last time I saw Tang Mingli in my previous life was when she was lying in a hospital bed.
Tang Mingli rarely comes back to visit her family, and knowing that she was sick and hospitalized, she came to the hospital to see her.
When I sensed that I was nearing the end of my life, I said something similar.
However, in her previous life, Tang Mingli answered her like this: "Why did you put yourself through this?"
She was furious upon hearing this.
Why does everyone have to act superior and lecture her?
The last meeting between him and Tang Mingli in his previous life was very unpleasant.
She wondered if Tang Mingli would regret treating her this way if she knew it would be their last meeting.
She will never know the answer.
In the short time it took for the two to exchange just a few words, Li Hong had already brought the doctor over.
After a brief examination, the doctor smiled and said, "The fever is starting to subside. If it doesn't return tomorrow, you can be discharged. But even at home, you'll need to rest well for a while."
"Okay, okay," Li Hong replied repeatedly.
She had already made up her mind that since her daughter was injured this time, she would bring her home after she was discharged from the hospital and take care of her personally.
She doesn't trust anyone in the Li family.
After the doctor left, Li Hong excitedly grabbed Tang Mingli's hand, "See? I told you that if you talked to Mingmei, she would definitely wake up."
Tang Mingli was very embarrassed. She felt it was just a coincidence, since her cousin woke up before she could finish her sentence.
However, Tang Mingmei, who was lying in the hospital bed, reacted even more strongly. Her eyes widened, and she looked shocked and embarrassed.
"Mom, what are you talking about? I just have a fever and my head is spinning, but you're making it sound like I've been unconscious for a long time."
Tang Mingmei was shocked because, while she was deep in a nightmare, she vaguely seemed to hear Tang Mingli's voice, but she wasn't sure if it was her.
Wanting to see what was going on, I suddenly opened my eyes.
So, what he vaguely heard was really Tang Mingli speaking to him?
This made her feel very embarrassed.
If there's one person she least wants to see in her disheveled state, it's Tang Mingli.
She had clearly told her parents not to let Tang Mingli know about her miscarriage, so why did she not only tell them but also call Tang Mingli over while Tang Mingli was in a daze?
Tang Mingmei grew angrier the more she thought about it. If she hadn't been feeling so unwell, she would have definitely had a fight with her mother.
Her biological mother just wanted to expose her shameful deeds to everyone.
Li Hong could tell that her daughter was angry, and she even knew why she was angry.
With Tang Mingli there, she couldn't explain directly.
It's understandable that a mother, seeing her daughter in a dazed state calling out another person's name, would reluctantly go and find that person.
However, Li Hong couldn't possibly hold a grudge against her daughter.
She didn't care when her daughter was healthy, let alone now that she's weak.
She quickly tried to appease her with a smile, saying, "Mom was just flustered and lost her composure. Besides, you are sisters who are related by blood. If you don't help each other now, when will you ever help each other?"
If Tang Mingmei could listen to these grand principles, she wouldn't be Tang Mingmei.
She was so angry that her head was throbbing, and all she could do was respond with a cold face and remain silent.
Tang Mingli felt exhausted just looking at it; how could anyone deliberately suffer to this extent?
If she had a mother who cared for her like that, she would definitely be the happiest little princess in the world.
It's so painful to look at.
But since she's already here, she might as well play the good guy to the end.
Tang Mingli deliberately asked her aunt, "Has my sister not eaten anything for a long time?"
"Oh, it really is." Li Hong suddenly remembered.
Since my daughter became delirious with fever, she hasn't eaten anything except for a few sips of water.
Tang Mingli thought to herself, "Just as I expected."
Then he said, "The hospital cafeteria should have food available. Why don't you go and buy a bowl of porridge for your sister?"
“You’re right.” Li immediately got up and went to the cafeteria to buy something.
Taking advantage of the fact that there was no one else in the ward, Tang Mingli wanted to quickly say some things to Tang Mingmei.
Do you know why you miscarried this time?
Speaking of this, Tang Mingmei felt resentful and said through gritted teeth, "It's all because of my good mother-in-law who insists on making me do housework."
Tang Mingli shook her head: "Washing dishes isn't a labor-intensive task."
"Then why do you think it is?"
What started as a spiteful question turned out to be met with a serious reply from Tang Mingli.
"The doctor said she initially thought it was a recurrent miscarriage, but that only happens to people who have had a miscarriage before. Since this is your first pregnancy, it's impossible."
Hearing this, Tang Mingmei was already nervous, and when she heard Tang Mingli's next sentence, she was terrified.
Is this your first time?
After asking the question, Tang Mingli did not stare at her.
This allowed Tang Mingmei to slowly recover, and she retorted stubbornly, "What do you mean by that? This isn't the first time, is it the second?"
Tang Mingli didn't reply, she just smiled.
She doesn't need to know the answer to this question; it's enough for her to know it herself.
"I know this must have been very upsetting for you. But it's already happened, so don't dwell on it anymore, and definitely don't rush into having another child. Focus on getting your health back on track first."
These kind words left Tang Mingmei with mixed feelings.
She was really not used to Tang Mingli caring about her, especially so calmly, which made her feel a little ridiculous.
However, it cannot be denied that Tang Mingli's reminder was correct.
This miscarriage is likely due to the previous miscarriage not being properly treated.
So much time has passed, and she hasn't felt any discomfort, so how could it still have an impact?
The thought of losing her child because of her youthful ignorance caused Tang Mingmei a pang of heartache.
I'm afraid this time we really have to listen to Tang Mingli and not rush into having a child.
However, if you get pregnant a year after getting married, people will definitely talk about it, and your in-laws will also be anxious.
Tang Mingli has been married for almost four years, and there's been no word about her having children, let alone being pregnant. She and Fu Ci seem to have a good relationship; it's impossible for it to be a marriage in name only. How come they haven't had children after all these years? Doesn't anyone say anything about it?
Tang Mingmei was so confused that she couldn't help but ask.
"How could no one say anything? But people can talk, what can I do about it? And let them say it, as long as they don't say it to my face, I'll pretend I don't know. If they do say it to my face, I'll retaliate."
Tang Mingmei was stunned by these words.
She's a year younger than me, but she's a hundred or even a thousand times more mature.
Tang Mingmei didn't believe it, or rather, she didn't want to believe it, and subconsciously shook her head: "How can a person living in this world not care what others say?"
"What's there to care about? There are so many people in this world, but only a few are truly good to you. Just care about those few."
"Alright, let's do it your way. If we ignore what others say, what about the Fu family? They can't possibly be unconcerned. If they are, they'll definitely start talking about you too."
Tang Mingli shrugged and said, "That's even simpler. Since you've married into this family, you're family now. You can discuss any issues openly and make things clear."
"Is it really that simple?" Tang Mingmei was deeply shocked, asking Tang Mingli, but also asking herself.
Tang Mingli agreed, but then added, "Of course, that is, provided they are reasonable people."
If someone is unreasonable and lives in their own logic, pressuring others to get married and have children, then there's nothing more to say. Treat them as irrelevant people and ignore them.
The added sentence made Tang Mingmei want to laugh.
Are the Fu family members reasonable?
They always act superior.
Why did the Fu family members she saw and the Fu family members Tang Mingli saw seem to be from completely different families?
However, compared to the Fu family's aloofness, the Li family was simply unreasonable.
So what Tang Mingli said earlier was pointless; they were dealing with two completely different types of people, and the logic she just mentioned wouldn't apply to her.
If Tang Mingli knew that all her words hadn't elicited any reflection from Tang Mingmei, she would probably laugh at herself for having gone to such lengths.
The two stopped talking and soon Li Hong returned with a box of porridge.
Tang Mingmei was indeed hungry, so she obediently started eating.
Once she started eating, it was the beginning of her recovery, and Tang Mingli felt there was no point in staying any longer.
She called Li Hong to the ward door, took out two ten-yuan bills from her pocket, and handed them to her.
"The doctor said my cousin needs to rest and recuperate, so let's use this money to buy her some good food."
Li Hong frowned visibly, clearly thinking it was too little. She made a perfunctory refusal, but in the end, she accepted the twenty yuan.
Tang Mingli then asked, "Once your cousin is discharged from the hospital, you and your uncle will probably take her home to recuperate for a while, right?"
"Of course."
Tang Mingli guessed correctly and replied politely, "I'll come back to see you again when I have time."
Hearing this warmed Li Hong's heart, and she exclaimed "Eh!" several times, feeling touched. She thought to herself, "After all, we share the same surname. This person is much more sincere than the Li family."
-
Upon returning home from the hospital, Madam Fu immediately inquired about Tang Mingmei's condition from Tang Mingli. Hearing that she was awake, she repeatedly expressed her relief.
He then laughed and said, "Alright, go upstairs and take a shower first."
Having lived together for so long, Madam Fu knew her habits to some extent.
After returning from a place like the hospital, you'll definitely want to take a shower and change into clean clothes first.
Tang Mingli smiled.
She really needed to take a shower first, otherwise she would feel uncomfortable.
Tang Mingli quickly washed her hair and took a shower before going downstairs. She wanted to keep her husband company, but found that he wasn't there. She asked Zhang Guihua and learned that their neighbor, Aunt Li, had come to knock on the door and asked her to go for a walk.
Since that's the case, Tang Mingli went back upstairs.
It was still early before dinner, so she sat down at her desk to practice her calligraphy.
After thinking she was going to have a divorce and reflecting on her lack of skills, Tang Mingli decided that she still needed to learn a skill.
I haven't decided what to learn yet, so I'll start with what I can do first, like improving my handwriting.
She actually really enjoys writing; otherwise, she wouldn't have fantasized about becoming a calligrapher when she grew up in her past life.
She thought that if her hand hadn't been deliberately injured by her classmates in her past life, making it impossible for her to hold a pen and write normally, she would definitely have been able to develop beautiful handwriting.
She was so engrossed in practicing calligraphy that she didn't notice Fu Ci, who had come home early from get off work that day, had already appeared at the study door, intently watching her write.
Only when he slowly walked towards her and appeared in front of her did Tang Mingli raise her head with a smile.
"Did the sun rise in the west today? It's back so early."
Fu Ci also subconsciously smiled and explained, "I met with a big client today. The meeting went smoothly, so I came back early."
"oh."
Tang Mingli didn't ask him who his big client was, and lowered her head to continue practicing calligraphy.
She was engrossed in writing and wanted to finish this page.
Fu Ci noticed this, but instead of disturbing him, he stood aside quietly, admiring the scene while inwardly marveling at it.
After not checking her handwriting for a while, she had unknowingly improved a lot.
His wife is really talented in this area.
After the initial amazement came a touch of disappointment. It turned out that when he couldn't see, she was actually able to do everything better.
