Chapter 130: What Virtue and Ability Can I Marry Shi Huai as My Wife [Edit]
It was already late at night when the family hurried to Jinling.
Before leaving, I learned that Qiu Zehang was beaten to a cripple and thrown on the ground, gasping for breath. His second child was kicked and lost his reproductive function. He was paralyzed on one side of his body, and the tendons in his hands and feet were broken, making him a disabled person from then on.
Later, when the Qiu family came to the door, the Zhou family learned that it was Zhou Jibai's work and the whole story.
Previously, they had upheld the principle of harmony and mutual respect. But they hadn't expected Qiu Zehang to dare target Shi Huai, Zhou Jibai, and their great-grandson. The Zhou family, furious, would certainly not let the Qiu family go. It wouldn't be long before the Qiu family was bankrupt and reduced to ruin.
After arriving at the hospital, the Zhou family learned that Shi Huai had not yet woken up, and they all fell into a gloomy and lonely mood.
According to the doctor, Shi Huai is no longer in danger of death and it is only a matter of time before he wakes up.
Who would have thought that such a thing would happen during Shi Huai's most critical pregnancy period!
The old lady almost couldn't breathe. She looked through the glass window at Shi Huai lying on the hospital bed, tears welling up in her eyes.
During this period, Shi Huai devoted herself to the family, and everyone saw everything she did and all the good things she did.
The result was that even such a great person was not protected by their Zhou family.
For a moment, endless self-blame and guilt spread in everyone's heart.
They also didn't have the heart to blame Zhou Jibai and put all the guilt on Zhou Jibai.
My wife was lying unconscious in the ICU, and the baby weighed less than four pounds when he was born. He was sent to the incubator without even being seen.
Everyone saw Zhou Jibai's decadence and misery, and felt heartbroken.
Zhou Jibai stood outside the glass door, looking at Shi Huai with a serious gaze, the red bloodshot in his eyes never faded away.
Being overly negative wouldn't solve the problem right now. Zhou Xu stepped forward and patted Zhou Jibai's shoulders twice. "Have you been to see the kids?"
Zhou Jibai has been guarding Shi Huai since he left the ward, and has not even visited the child.
"without."
Zhou Jibai felt that he would definitely not be a good father in the future.
He didn't want to see the child, he just wanted to stay with Shi Huai.
"Go and take a look, sister-in-law, we will help you watch over her." Zhou Xu advised.
Zhou Jibai lowered his eyes and felt warmth and moisture rising to his eye sockets. He looked up at the snow-white ceiling above his head.
This is the flesh and blood that Shi Huai gave birth to with most of his life, and is related to him.
Zhou Jibai let out a long breath and looked at his wife lying on the hospital bed with reluctance again.
In fact, he was a little angry. If Shi Huai had not given birth to this child, he would definitely not have suffered so much.
But after all his complaints, the person he hated the most was himself.
He knew clearly that he was the one who caused Shi Huai to become pregnant.
He holds all the reasons.
He is the culprit.
What right does he have to be angry inside?
The heavy and suppressed feeling of guilt almost made Zhou Jibai breathless. He glanced at his family members behind him.
At least until Shi Huai wakes up, he has to take good care of their child.
"Thank you for your help."
After Zhou Jibai said this in a hoarse voice, he walked towards the neonatal intensive care unit where his son was.
The icy, pungent smell of disinfectant repelled him intensely. Even the echoing footsteps in the corridor sounded grating and noisy to Zhou Jibai. Even though it was already summer, the blood in his body felt cold, as if it were flowing backwards.
He was like a puppet being pulled by strings, a walking corpse. The world before him automatically fell into a cold, gloomy hue of black, white, and gray.
Shi Huai was unconscious, and his world was dimmed.
The sounds in my ears seemed to be blocked by a thick glass cover. Going to see my son felt like carrying out a mission.
At the beginning, Zhou Jibai only thought about.
Just take a look.
This little guy made Shi Huai suffer.
He doesn't want to be with him right now.
But when the nurse led him to the incubator where his son was, Zhou Jibai's heart trembled for a moment through the transparent incubator screen.
The child in the incubator was not good-looking, with wrinkled skin.
The doctor said he wasn't breathing when he was born, and it took a lot of effort to pat him before he started to cry. His voice was weak and tiny, devoid of any vitality. He was like a fragile glass doll that would shatter at the slightest poke.
The cubs in the incubator were tiny and thin, like kittens drenched in a rainstorm. Their hands were like dry sticks, and their hair was the golden color of malnutrition.
He was covered in ECG electrodes, covering his entire body. A breathing tube was inserted into his nose, and his thin chest rose and fell as he struggled to breathe, to stay alive.
This is the child that Shi Huai gave birth to at great pains.
So fragile and small.
And so strong and hardworking.
His throat suddenly felt sore and swollen, and tears blurred Zhou Jibai's vision. He couldn't help but stretch out his palm and gently cover the incubator, "My dear, be strong."
The little cub in the incubator seemed to understand what he said. Through the incubator, he gently waved his little hand and touched Zhou Jibai's palm.
Zhou Jibai smiled bitterly.
Then hot tears rolled down his cheeks and dripped to his chin.
…
Shi Huai woke up on the third day after giving birth.
She had a long and heavy dream. When she regained consciousness, the first thing she felt was her left hand, which was clenched so tightly that it was a little painful.
Shi Huai slowly opened his eyes. It had been a long time since he had been able to open his eyes, and the world before him was blurry.
Zhou Jibai, who was dozing off on the bed holding Shi Huai's hand, suddenly noticed a slight movement and was stunned for a moment.
He sat up immediately.
Seeing Shi Huai's eyes gradually opening, Zhou Jibai called out in a hoarse voice, "Shi Huai."
Shi Huai opened his eyes completely.
She had just woken up from a dream and was still a little dazed. She blinked her eyes twice before her vision became clear.
The next thing that came into view was Zhou Jibai's somewhat haggard and decadent face.
Shi Huai felt completely powerless. He weakly raised his finger and pointed at Zhou Jibai, muttering weakly, "Zhou... Zhou..."
Realizing that Shi Huai had something to say to him, Zhou Jibai did not dare to neglect it. He quickly leaned down and put his cheek close to Shi Huai's lips so that he could hear clearly what she was going to say.
The first thing Shi Huai did when he woke up was to ask him.
"Are you not hurt?"
"The car didn't hit you, did it?"
In an instant, the sour pain once again filled his eyes, and tears blurred his vision again.
Zhou Jibai leaned over and hugged Shi Huai, who was still lying on the hospital bed.
He shook his head and answered in a deep voice, "No."
How could I be so worthy as to marry Shi Huai in this life?
Zhou Jibai was fine, and was guarding Shi Huai safely by his bedside. Shi Huai felt that it was all worth it.
She did it.
She successfully protected Zhou Jibai.
The debt from the previous life was finally made up.
A tear slid down the corner of her eye, and then tears kept falling, Shi Huai was crying and sobbing.
Zhou Jibai is still here.
Zhou Jibai will always be by her side.
The misery of the previous life was finally saved and reversed.
From now on, she will no longer be alone.
Rebirth is not her sin and punishment.
Rebirth is new birth.
It was because of her sincere repentance that she finally got her reward after suffering.
From then on, what lingered in her heart were no longer nightmares day and night, nor were she filled with heart-wrenching guilt and self-blame.
The clouds cleared at dawn, and the rosy glow of light shone through the dark clouds, and the sky, which was originally covered with gloomy clouds, became clear.
…
After the doctor examined Shi Huai, he confirmed that Shi Huai was not seriously injured before leaving.
Only then did Shi Huai realize that he was the only one in the ward.
Her face was not looking good, and she asked Zhou Jibai opposite her: "Where is the child?"
Zhou Jibai lowered his eyes. Out of guilt and pain, he did not dare to look up and meet Shang Shihuai's eyes.
After hesitating for a long time, he spoke in a deep voice: "The child was put into the incubator as soon as he was born."
Shi Huai just woke up from a coma and is still in confinement.
Shi Huai pursed his lips and forced a smile: "I gave birth to him after only eight months of pregnancy, so it's normal to put him in an incubator..."
Afterwards, Shi Huai's shoulders began to tremble constantly, and he hugged Zhou Jibai and burst into tears: "He was born only eight months ago, and he has to suffer so much for no reason."
In this life, the person she feels most sorry for is her own child.
I took him to many places during my pregnancy, and now he was born prematurely, coming into this world early.
When Shi Huai thought about the fact that he was not yet full-term and could not be brought into this world healthy and safe, guilt enveloped her heart.
Listening to Shi Huai's wailing, Zhou Jibai's heart was about to break.
He patted Shi Huai's back gently and coaxed her gently, "It's not your fault."
"Zhizhi, you've done a great job." Zhou Jibai leaned over and put his forehead against hers.
Shi Huai sobbed and shook his head slightly, still denying himself, "I didn't do anything good at all."
Zhou Jibai raised his hand and gently wiped away the tears on her face: "Zhizhi, don't blame yourself."
“Do the best you can, and you’re good enough.”
Zhou Jibai kissed Shi Huai's forehead with his thin lips: "You lost most of your life giving birth to him. You were unconscious for three days and three nights before you woke up."
"You don't owe him anything."
"Besides, our child is healthy. He's just a little thin and needs to be observed for a few more days."
Zhou Jibai lowered his eyes and looked at Shi Huai, who was still looking down and silent. He reached out and rubbed her cheek. "The doctor said she's very well behaved and rarely cries. She's getting more energetic every day when she's breastfeeding."
"It won't be long before he's out of the incubator."
Listening to Zhou Jibai telling her in a deep voice about the child's recent situation, Shi Huai couldn't help crying again.
Zhou Jibai's heart ached when he saw Shi Huai crying. He didn't want to see Shi Huai's emotions fluctuate so much when his body was at its most vulnerable.
But if I lie and hide everything from Shi Huai, it would be too cruel.
No matter which side he was on, Zhou Jibai would make Shi Huai cry.
He felt a little guilty because he could trigger her tears and emotions just by opening his mouth.
But he was not with Shi Huai, which made Shi Huai feel even more uncomfortable and panicked.
Forget it, forget it. After I accompany Shi Huai out of the confinement period, I will go to the ancestral temple and kowtow to the ancestors a few more times, asking them to help me wash away this sin.
"Then can I see the child?" Shi Huai sniffed, raised his tearful little face, stared at Zhou Jibai with his red eyes flashing with tears.
"Can."
"But you have to promise me one thing."
Shi Huai said seriously: "I can agree to anything."
"Don't cry."
Shi Huai nodded seriously and said confidently, "I definitely won't cry!"
Looking at Shi Huai's confident expression, Zhou Jibai raised a faint smile at the corner of his lips. He stretched out his long arm, took a few tissues from the bedside table, and wiped the tears from Shi Huai's face.
…
Accompanied by Zhou Jibai, Shi Huai walked out of the ward and came to the neonatal intensive care unit where their child was.
Walking to the incubator where Zizi was sitting, Shi Huai's body trembled uncontrollably. Then he turned around and buried his face in Zhou Jibai's arms.
The black shirt Zhou Jibai was wearing was very thin. As soon as Shi Huai buried his face in it, he felt the warmth and wetness.
Zhou Jibai lowered his eyebrows and his gaze fell on the little guy in the incubator.
"Our baby is really strong."
"The doctors praised him for his excellent performance during this period."
Shi Huai bit her lower lip tightly and nodded heavily in response. She didn't dare cry out loud for fear of disturbing the fragile little one in the incubator.
After a long while, Shi Huai calmed down a little and turned back to look at the baby in the incubator.
Tears blurred her vision, hiding the guilt in her pupils: "I'm sorry, baby, I couldn't let you be born safely into this world."
Zhou Jibai stood behind Shi Huai, watching this scene, his eyes also wet.
"Dear baby, dear baby, get well soon. Mom and Dad are waiting to take you home."
Zhou Jibai took Shi Huai away without staying in the incubator for too long.
I was afraid that if Shi Huai stayed any longer, he would cry and faint.
…
At night, Shi Huai couldn't calm down for a long time. He tossed and turned in bed for a long time but couldn't fall asleep.
Zhou Jibai's palm fell lightly on her waist and patted her twice as a comfort.
"You didn't fall asleep either?" Shi Huai asked softly with his back to Zhou Jibai.
"Um."
From the first day Shi Huai gave birth to the child, Zhou Jibai's sleep time did not exceed three hours a day.
Can't sleep.
As soon as I close my eyes, my mind is filled with Shi Huai and the child.
Shi Huai took on the pain of childbirth for herself. Giving birth is like walking through the gates of hell.
The child is still in the incubator and it is unknown how long he can come out.
The excitement and anxiety of being a father for the first time.
All kinds of emotions came one after another, and the night was long and unbearable.
Shi Huai slowly turned around and faced Zhou Jibai, "We haven't named the child yet."
With the help of the dim light from the bedside lamp, Zhou Jibai discovered that Shihuai's long and thick eyelashes were wet again.
His palm covered half of Shi Huai's face, and Shi Huai took the opportunity to gently rub his palm.
Zhou Jibai frowned slightly: "Why are you crying again?"
Shi Huai: "I can't control it."
Zhou Jibai kissed her forehead and said, "My wife's eyes are like faucets, they flow as soon as I tell them to."
"Can you say something nice?" Shi Huai curled his lips and puffed up his cheeks.
But after being teased by Zhou Jibai, her mood was not so bad anymore.
"Name the child?" Zhou Jibai raised his eyebrows and asked when he saw that Shi Huai's mood had changed slightly.
"Um!"
Zhou Jibai raised his hand to turn on the light, and the couple sat up from the bed to name the child.
Before Zhou Jibai could speak, Shi Huai interrupted him, "Although, I still don't allow you to name our son Jianqiang."
Zhou Jibai laughed out loud, "Do I look like someone who would make fun of my son's name?"
"Yes!" Shi Huai thought without hesitation.
Zhou Jibai raised his eyebrows and pretended to be hurt, "Where is the most basic trust between husband and wife?"
"Stop talking nonsense. If it's not allowed, it's not allowed!"
