In front of everyone, Ruan Meng squatted down and took Duan's pulse again.
Duan did not react at all, letting Ruan Meng do as she pleased, only shedding tears.
Silently, that's all.
Ruan Meng released Duan's wrist, her voice calm.
"Are you very sad?"
"You can't let go of your children. Even though your husband and family treat you very well, you can't control your heart."
"I get tired easily, I tend to think negatively, it's like my heart is broken, my consciousness is detached from my inner self."
"I want to be positive and happy with my family and take good care of my children, but I just can't seem to be happy."
"I felt only numbness, no anger, no sadness, no fear of death. It was as if there was a hole in my heart, dragging me into an abyss..."
“You really want to go, but you can’t bear to leave your husband and children. You’re torn between them, so you’re in pain.”
Duan slowly turned her head and looked at Ruan Meng.
With tears welling up in her eyes, those around her seemed to sense Duan's pain at that moment, thanks to Ruan Meng's words.
There's nowhere to confide in, yet no way to vent.
Ruan Meng took her hand and explained:
"You feel this is wrong, you despise yourself for this, but you are powerless to change it, and you can't bear this pain, right?"
Duan nodded, his eyes blurred with tears.
Ruan Meng softened her voice, "I had a feeling that you came to my house, but I didn't comfort you. I apologize to you."
"But I did feel uncomfortable with your previous reaction, so I don't want to feel wronged. Let's call it even, okay?"
Duan Shi didn't hear Ruan Meng's disgust, but her expression was slightly moved, perhaps because Ruan Meng's words touched her heart, and her expression was no longer numb.
Ruan Meng looked at Fan Zili and Fan Zizhong, asking them to listen as well.
"Let me tell you first, happiness is not caused by emotions, but sometimes by physical factors."
"Joy is one of the seven emotions, and it is governed by the heart. When qi and blood are abundant, it is easy to feel happy. Conversely, when qi is deficient, it is easy to feel unhappy."
"Your complexion is pale, and your teeth and eyes show signs of qi deficiency. Do you often experience dizziness or numbness in your hands and feet?"
Duan nodded, and Ruan Meng continued to explain:
"There are many reasons for blood deficiency, but for women, the biggest reason is pregnancy."
"The ancients said that the fetus is nourished by blood. The baby absorbs the mother's blood and blood for ten months. The pregnant woman's blood and qi gather in the Chong and Ren meridians, which reduces the blood supply to the heart."
“The loss of energy and blood not only occurs during pregnancy, but also after childbirth.”
"If a woman is weak after childbirth and does not take good care of herself, or if she is exhausted from raising her child, maintaining a good relationship with her husband and mother-in-law, it may lead to insufficient blood production."
"After my second sister-in-law gave birth, the Fan family encountered a misfortune, and she must have been under considerable pressure. Her body did not receive adequate care, and she also had to live in fear and anxiety, suffering from malnutrition during her exile..."
"All of these can cause blood deficiency, which can easily lead to unhappiness. The duration can vary, but in some people it can last for decades..."
Those behind him were surprised; Fan Zili hadn't expected it to be like this either.
He assumed that his wife was unhappy because of the trouble at home, the difference in their living conditions, and the hardship of taking care of the children.
Unexpectedly, her unhappiness stemmed from her body not fully recovering and her blood being depleted.
As Duan listened, her tears gradually subsided, and her eyes gradually regained focus.
Fan Zili immediately asked, "Little sister, is there any way to cure this?"
Seeing his anxious expression and Fan Zizhong's concerned look beside him, Ruan Meng smiled at Duan Shi.
