Chapter 50 Chapter 50 Something happened, something big happened! ...
Not sure, try it again...
Not only did she use her fingertips to feel her pulse, but in order to make sure she had not touched wrongly, Shen Miao even looked at her from head to toe like the men outside just now.
Her skin is very white and tender. Even though she has been doing rough housework at home every day in the past few months, only her hands have become a little rough, and her arms are still as delicate as a peeled egg.
Her feet were also very small, a circle smaller than Shen Miao's feet, 35? 36? It seemed that a man could lift her up with one hand.
The neck is long and thin, the facial features are small and delicate, and there are two big coconuts in front of the body...
But the strange thing is, her pulse is not as weak as her appearance. She does not have the delicate feeling of an ordinary woman. She is completely like a strong man.
Damn it, it must be because I haven’t felt the pulse for too long, and there’s something wrong with the feeling in my fingers…
“What’s wrong? Is there something wrong with her body?” Seeing Shen Miao’s face becoming more and more solemn and she didn’t speak for a long time, Cao Yun couldn’t help but asked nervously.
“No, no, no,” Shen Miao quickly put away her emotions and at the same time comforted her, “Sister-in-law is in good health, I think it won’t be long before you can hold a plump grandson in your arms!”
"That's good, that's good."
Li Shancha listened to their conversation with a confused look on her face. Although she didn't understand a word, she smiled slightly when she heard their relaxed and cheerful tone at the end.
I looked up at the time on my watch: ten forty.
The wedding ceremony would begin in twenty minutes. Shen Miao was a little excited when she thought about being able to sit down and eat after the wedding process was over.
Although they often had to eat a whole table in the past month, the chefs invited from each village had different skills and the dishes were not all the same, so every time Shen Miao would be full of anticipation for whether there were new dishes on the table.
Boom!
Suddenly there was a loud noise in the yard next door.
"Malay pen, can you please show me some more excitement?!"
"Let's talk it over. Don't do anything on such a happy day."
"Are you trying to trick me like this? Do you really think my family is so easy to bully?"
It seems like they are arguing.
The Li family's yard is not big. In order to quickly prepare the dishes to entertain the guests, they specially borrowed the yard from their neighbors and asked them to set up several large pots in the yard next door to cook.
Judging from the situation, someone must have had an argument with the chef.
Hearing the quarrel, the people in the yard looked over to the next room. Several strong men rushed over to stop the fight, fearing that the two sides would start fighting on such a happy day.
As the hosts, Cao Yun and Li Shancha also rushed to the next door to see what was going on.
Naturally, Shen Miao was indispensable to such a lively atmosphere, so she followed them as well.
When I arrived at the door of the next yard, a pot had been overturned on the ground. The coal that fell out of the stove was still burning, and the food that had not yet been taken out of the pot was scattered all over the ground. There was beef and chili slices. They must be stir-fried beef fillet with chili.
The person who took action was none other than today's groom, Li Quntao.
Why was Shen Miao able to recognize him? Because the person being pulled was dressed most formally, with a big red flower pinned on his chest.
It just got deformed when it was pulled, and the red cloth strip with the word "groom" written on it that was connected to the big red flower was torn off.
Li Quntao was not tall, less than 1.8 meters, but his arrogant aura seemed to be as tall as 2 meters. If there were not four or five people holding him back, he would have definitely punched the chef again.
How could this be a wedding? It was clearly some gangster coming here to mess things up!
It is hard to imagine that such a hot-tempered person is from the same family as Cao Yun, who was bullied by hooligans while selling tofu.
"What's going on?"
Walking forward quickly, Cao Yun glanced at the meat and vegetables on the ground with concern, trying to avoid stepping on them and ruining them. When he walked up to Li Quntao, he didn't dare to touch him, but just bent down and picked up the red cloth strip, "On such a happy day, what are you doing?"
The master was hit hard by his punch. Even after two pieces of paper were stuffed into his mouth, blood continued to flow out. However, he still endured the pain and said, "He is not satisfied with the beef sausage we brought. We made it at home and used good meat. He insisted that our sausage is fake."
Seeing that the master was quibbling, Li Quntao's anger, which had just been suppressed, suddenly burst into flames again.
"You're going to give me more? I don't know if it's pure beef or not. How much pork and chicken is mixed in it? Do you really think I can't taste it?!"
The person next to him picked up a piece of sausage from the plate, broke off a piece and put it in his mouth, then held it in his hand and looked at it repeatedly.
The meat in the sausage has been beaten into a paste when it is being made. It looks all red and tastes really like beef. I can't tell if it's fake.
Then he distributed the sausage to more people. Most of them didn't think there was anything wrong with the sausage. Only a few people found something wrong.
"Yes, there is chicken in it, and quite a lot of it."
"Yes, it tastes a bit tough, and you can tell it's not pure beef."
Beef is very expensive and not every household can eat it every day. Only people who eat beef regularly can tell the difference between pure beef and adulterated beef.
After getting affirmative answers from the people around him, Li Quntao snorted coldly and moved his wrist joints: "Hmm? Do you think it's unfair for me to hit you? How dare you cheat with me?"
Li Quntao's words were sonorous, not like he was asking for an explanation, but more like a landlord condescendingly teaching his tenants a lesson. He was three parts arrogant and four parts frivolous, and his eyes were burning with anger...
Hiss~ Shen Miao, the bystander, couldn’t help but shudder when he saw this.
His attitude is really a bit scary.
"It's just a small matter, I can't wait to do it. I'll just deduct a little less money after I'm done."
"That's right. On such a happy day, don't ruin the joy."
"Qun Tao, listen to me. Forget it. There are so many people here. Don't make a big deal out of it. It won't look good."
After being persuaded by several elders in turn, Li Quntao finally calmed down a little.
However, he did not let the chef go. Instead, he walked up to him, put his hand on his shoulder, and squeezed his shoulder blade hard. "Cook the next dishes carefully. If I find any tricks again, you'll have to wait."
It's very strange. Li Quntao's family is not rich, and Cao Yun is an honest man with a gentle temperament.
But Li Quntao's tone was as if he had tens of millions of wealth and was a boss who could make everything happen with a wave of his hand. If anyone displeased him, he would kill him as easily as crushing an ant.
It’s really hard to imagine what kind of job he did in the South. Not only did he not make any money, but he also had such a bad temper.
Fortunately, she brought Yao Heng with her this time.
Just now when Shen Miao and Wang Dongmei were in the house, Yao Heng who was outside was not idle either, but stood together with several men of similar age to chat and socialize, so he more or less knew something about Li Quntao.
Their wedding was planned not long ago and did not cost too much money, so the ceremony was relatively simple. Plus, the atmosphere was a bit awkward due to the incident just now, so it was over in about half an hour.
I don’t know if it was because Li Quntao had beaten the chef in advance, but every dish served was quite large and tasted good, especially the meat dishes, which had more meat than vegetables.
Shen Miao finally didn’t have to sit at the kids’ table this time, and could listen to Yao Heng’s gossip that he heard without worry.
Li Quntao started working early and was taken to the south to fight when he was sixteen or seventeen.
For so many years, he hadn't sent any money or news to his family. Cao Yun thought he was dead. Unexpectedly, he came back before the Chinese New Year this year, and brought a bought wife with him.
Because Li Quntao was not that close to the villagers, they didn't talk much about himself. All they heard was that he was in the jade business, but he lost money after being cheated, and he couldn't make it in Southern Province, so he came back with his wife.
“No wonder,” Shen Miao muttered quietly while eating a mouthful of celery, “After all, he was once a big boss, so it’s normal for him to have such a bad temper. I guess he must have exploited his employees a lot in the past.”
Unlike Li Shancha, Li Quntao looked like a man who had suffered hardships since childhood. His skin was dark and rough. He was not even forty years old, but one could see that he had quite a few white hairs and obvious wrinkles on his forehead.
It's not easy to go from being an employee to becoming a boss. When he rolls up his sleeves, you can see several long scars on his arms.
I don’t know if I heard someone talking about me, but as I was chatting, a hand suddenly fell on Shen Miao’s shoulder.
“Your name is Shen Miao?”
Looking at the rough hand on his shoulder, Shen Miao seemed to still be able to smell the nosebleed of the chef who cooked the food...
“Uh, yes, it’s me.” Shen Miao forced a smile at him with difficulty.
His aura was too strong, making it difficult for Shen Miao to look directly at him, fearing that he would attack her. Yao Heng at the side did not dare to breathe loudly, because if he was not careful, it would be "one corpse and two lives".
"Is today's meal okay?"
Shen Miao nodded like pounding garlic, “Yeah, yeah, sure.”
"Don't be nervous, I just came to thank you."
Li Quntao squeezed Shen Miao's shoulders, trying to help her relax her nervous mood, but the more he did so, the more nervous Shen Miao became...
Not only is his gloomy face scary, but his smile is also creepy.
"My mother said that it was thanks to you that they were not bullied by the gangsters last time," Li Quntao said as he took out a small jade pendant from his pocket and placed it on the table. "It's a little gift from you. Take it home and wear it."
After saying that, Li Quntao stood up and left.
Watching Li Quntao's back as he walked away, Shen Miao was still unable to recover. She lowered her head to take a look at the small jade token, and swallowed her saliva, feeling as if the King of Hell had suddenly touched her throat.
At this moment, many people around her were looking at her, as if they were all happy for her for escaping this disaster...
*
"Hey, this piece of jade looks good~"
The ballpoint pen for writing had run out of ink, and when Shen Miao was looking for the pen in the drawer, Aunt Zhao saw the jade plaque inside.
It was the one that Li Quntao gave her at the wedding last time.
Shen Miao did not wear it on her body, but kept it in a drawer in the clinic.
"Can I take a look?" asked Aunt Zhao.
Shen Miao did not refuse and took out the jade token and handed it to her.
Aunt Zhao and her husband work in the city, in a high-end jewelry store, one as a security guard and the other as a cleaner. After being influenced by them for a long time, they have learned to understand these gold, silver and jade ornaments.
He first held it up to look at the sun, then rubbed it carefully with his fingers, muttering to himself, "Good jade, it is indeed good jade, it should not be produced here, it must be from the south or foreign countries."
Wow? She really knows what she's talking about.
"Yes, it was brought back from the South."
"How much did you pay for it?" Aunt Zhao asked again.
"I don't know, someone else gave it to me."
Aunt Zhao curled her lips and said, "He is quite rich. This piece of jade would cost at least 500 or 600 yuan."
"Five or six hundred?!"
Such a small jade pendant is so valuable? ? ?
Shen Miao took the jade token in astonishment, carefully held it in her hand and looked at it from left to right. The jade token was only the size of a walnut, and it looked emerald green and pretty. She really didn’t understand what made it so valuable.
"Impossible?"
"You are not lacking at all. This jade is indeed valuable," Aunt Zhao took the jade and explained to her, "Actually, this is called jadeite, which is also a kind of jade, but it is more valuable than jade, and it is also glass-type. I sell it in my store."
Continuing to stroke the Buddha statue carved on the surface of the jade plaque, Aunt Zhao asked Shen Miao: “Did the person who gave it to you tell you what kind of Buddha this is? Why does it look so unfamiliar?”
Shen Miao shook her head, “No.”
This was also one of the reasons why Shen Miao did not wear it after receiving it: she could not tell what kind of Buddha it was.
In our ancient mythology, there are gods and Buddhas. Although she doesn't recognize every Buddha statue, she feels a sense of familiarity when she sees them.
Just like the flowers blooming in the ground, even if they are of different varieties and colors, they are all beautiful flowers. But this Buddha is like a cactus or aloe vera blooming among the flowers. Even though they are both plants, they are different from the blooming flowers.
Shen Miao felt that the Buddha on the jade tablet was very strange, and was afraid that wearing it would cause some kind of disturbance, so she kept it.
"Wear it. It would be a shame if you don't wear such fine jade for others to see." Aunt Zhao suggested after returning the jade pendant to her.
"Yes, wait until I get back and find a red string to string it on."
After writing a prescription and getting some medicine for his aunt and sending her off, Shen Miao sat down again and picked up the jade token again.
After thinking it over, she put it back in the drawer, but this time she didn't put it with the rest. Instead, she wrapped it in a piece of cloth.
It would be bad if such an expensive thing got damaged while you are wearing it, so you'd better keep it carefully.
I don’t know if it was a coincidence, but after the jade token that had not been taken out for a long time was seen by Aunt Zhao this morning, Li Quntao brought Li Shancha to the Shen family clinic in the afternoon.
“Sister Shen?”
When their number was called, Li Quntao swaggered into the room with his hands in his pockets, while Li Shancha, who was with him, followed him cautiously like a servant, carrying a piece of tofu and a bag of soy milk.
Looking at his posture, he doesn't look like he's here to see a doctor. Instead, he looks like a landlord coming to collect rent and mess things up.
Shen Miao quickly stood up and asked them to sit down: "Brother Li? Sister-in-law? Long time no see!"
Li Quntao was very polite to her, but after what happened at the wedding last time, Shen Miao couldn't help but be a little afraid of him, fearing that if she said something wrong or did something wrong, he would punch her and break her nose...
But on the surface she acted casual and tried her best to hide her fear.
Li Shancha treated her warmly as always, and took the initiative to give her the tofu and soy milk he brought. Even though he couldn't speak, he would give her a hug to let her know that he missed her.
"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
"I've been with her for quite a while, but we haven't had a child, so I wanted to come and see what's going on."
While Li Quntao was speaking, Li Shancha stood stiffly behind him and did not sit on the same bench with him.
You can tell that she is listening very carefully, trying to understand what they are saying.
"...I heard that you and Uncle Shen are very good at medicine, so we wanted to come and see if there is anything wrong with your body."
Seeing that Li Shancha had been standing, Shen Miao brought the pulse pillow and motioned for her to sit down: “Sister-in-law, don’t stand anymore, sit down.”
Li Shancha waved her hands and took a few steps back timidly.
She didn't seem to be afraid of him, but rather had the obedience ingrained in her bones like a slave to her master.
It was not until Li Quntao turned his head to look at her and got his permission that she carefully sat down at the other end of the bench.
Taking a deep breath, Shen Miao solemnly moved his fingers to prepare to check her pulse.
I guess I didn’t feel it right last time, but now the feeling is just right, so there shouldn’t be any problem anymore.
He placed his fingers on her wrist, and after just a few seconds, Shen Miao was sweating profusely again…
The pulse is still the same as last time: the pulse is solid and strong, and the pulse is deep, indeed the same as that of a normal man.
It seems that it is not my problem, but due to Li Shancha's physical condition.
Maybe her physique is different from that of a normal woman, so her pulse feels different.
However, judging from the man's pulse, there was nothing wrong with her body.
"Sister-in-law is in good health and suitable for childbearing. She can get pregnant."
Afterwards, Shen Miao felt Li Quntao’s pulse again.
Shen Miao: …
This couple is really weird, their pulses are completely opposite.
Li Shancha's pulse feels like a man, while Li Quntao's pulse feels like a man who is about to "become a woman".
“Brother, you’ve been overdoing that…” Shen Miao scratched her head, afraid that he didn’t understand what she said, so she changed to a more straightforward way to tell him, “According to your current age, once every four or five days is the most appropriate. You’re doing it five, six, seven or eight times a day, even a young man in his early twenties wouldn’t be able to handle it.”
Fortunately, Li Shancha didn’t understand what they were saying, otherwise she wouldn’t be blinking her eyes so innocently like she was doing now.
It was at this time that Shen Miao realized that the red patch on the coconut near the right side of Li Shancha did not seem to be caused by a mosquito bite...
Li Quntao's body was weak, too weak, like an empty rice jar. It seemed that some food could be scooped out every time, but in fact the situation was already bad, and he was only half a step away from being completely emptied.
Shen Miao could understand his desire to have a child, and could also understand that it was difficult to control himself with a beautiful woman by his side, but if one wanted to have a child, and a healthy child, it still depended on the quality of a man's seed, and just the quantity was useless.
How does the saying go? A hundred bad things are not worth one good thing. That's what it means.
“Take a break recently. I’ll prescribe some medicine for you to take care of yourself. You have to wait at least a month before you can try again.” Shen Miao said as he wrote the medicine prescribed for him on the prescription.
I was worried that he might not be able to benefit from the nourishment because of his weak constitution, so I prescribed very mild medicine to help him recover little by little.
"So we can still have a baby?"
"Yes, there is nothing wrong with your body. As long as you are patient, you will get pregnant sooner or later."
Hearing Shen Miao say this, Li Quntao finally showed a relieved smile on his face, reaching out to touch Li Shancha’s belly, he said gently: “Tired.”
This time, Li Shancha seemed to understand what he meant.
She placed her hand on the back of his hand, still with a faint smile on her face, but Shen Miao saw a hint of unspeakable bitterness in her eyes.
tired?
Of course, not only men are tired, women are also very tired.
Especially during the ten months of pregnancy, I couldn’t eat well and sleep well. It was more than just tiring. It was pure suffering.
I didn't expect that Li Quntao looked fierce, but he actually felt sorry for her. He knew that she would be tired after being pregnant, so he comforted her in advance...
Summer comes suddenly. Since the beginning of summer, many more people have come to the clinic for medical treatment.
Shen Wanshan completely handed the clinic over to Shen Miao. He either went out to see patients or stayed at home. He seldom went to the clinic. Yao Heng was busy with his graduation thesis, and Jiang Xiaozhen was busy with the news. Apart from dealing with patients every day, Shen Miao had not come into contact with people for a long time.
It was not until that night when she was cooking that Shen Miao heard someone knocking on the door.
"Uncle Luo? Why are you here so late at night?!"
It’s Uncle Luo again…
Although Luo Jialin still couldn't get used to this name, but... as long as she was happy.
Luo Jialin raised the jar in his hand and replied, "My mother brewed a few jars of wine before the New Year. Thinking that Uncle Shen and Brother Shen love to drink, she asked me to send some over."
Taking the wine jar from his hand, Shen Miao quickly called him in: “Come in and sit down! My grandfather just went to the village committee, and they will be back soon.”
All in all, they haven't seen each other for almost two months.
Normally, men over the age of thirty should become fatter and heavier like steamed buns in a steamer, but Shen Miao saw that he had lost some weight, his jawline was very obvious, and it seemed that there was almost no flesh on his face.
Following Shen Miao into the yard, Luo Jialin’s personality made him not beat around the bush, so he took the initiative to ask: “Miao Miao, have you seen Lao Xu recently? He is the gangster who went to the police station with you last time.”
Hearing about the word "hooligan", Shen Miao's originally good mood slightly lowered.
"No, I haven't seen him since I left the police station last time."
Seeing Luo Jialin’s strange expression, Shen Miao smelled a hint of something fishy, so she asked him, “What did that gangster do again?”
Luo Jialin thought about it and finally decided not to hide it from her, "I'm telling you, don't tell anyone else."
"Okay, you say?"
"He's dead."
