Chapter 3406 Extra Zhou Yin 21
She sighed and took the medicine bag from Zhou Yin's hand. "Then I'll make some medicine for you. Remember to drink it next time."
Zhou Yin agreed immediately, thanked Xia's mother with a smile, and took his wife back to the room.
He comforted Xia Xin, who was almost on the verge of tears, and said, "Don't be sad. I'm a son-in-law. I've only heard of wives being divorced for not being able to have children, but never heard of husbands being divorced for not being able to have children. Now that you're the head of the household, I have to beg you not to divorce me."
Xia Xin was amused by him, but she was also very sad. She cried and laughed at the same time, "You are teasing me again."
Zhou Yin pulled her and said with a smile: "Just tell me whether you are happy or not?"
Xia Xin hummed softly, but soon became worried again, "You take the problem on yourself, what if your parents scold you?"
Zhou Yin said, "My parents are very reasonable and love me so much, how could they criticize me?"
"Then what do the people outside say to you?"
"I don't care what they say, and I'm thick-skinned and not afraid of what they say. But you, your face is white and tender, I can't bear to let them say anything."
Xia Xin glared at him, but she did feel happy.
Every day, Xia's mother boiled medicine and brought it to Zhou Yin's house. Zhou Yin would cool it down and give it to Xia Xin to drink. Whether it was Xia's mother or Xia Yan, they all turned a blind eye and pretended not to know about it.
Seeing their daughter's rosy complexion and happy every day, Xia Yan and his mother were very glad for their choice.
Especially when their health is not very good.
Both Xia Yan and his mother were not in good health, especially his mother. In the five years since Zhou Yin came, her health had been intermittent. She would get sick several times a year, and each time she was sick, she would be ill for about a month.
They all seem to be minor illnesses, such as cough, fever, or back or leg pain. You don't need to stay in bed, but you just need to take medicine and be carefully cared for.
So when Xia's mother had a stuffy nose, sneezed, and felt she had caught a cold, no one, including Xia Yan, was very worried. They just called a doctor and prescribed some medicine for her.
By the time her family realized what was happening, she had been ill for over a month and hadn't recovered.
Every time her symptoms seemed to be getting better, they would get worse the next night. She would cough suddenly, or feel a sore throat, or get chills...
Xia Yan felt that it was not good for her to be sick all the time, so he asked Zhou Yin to invite another doctor to come and treat her.
It was only then that they discovered that she had typhoid fever, and not only her, but Xia Yan was also infected.
The doctor said, "It just snowed heavily. It's cold and wet. It's really easy to catch typhoid fever. We should be careful."
He said, "Many people in the city have fallen ill this month. It is best for the sick to be separated from their families to avoid passing on the disease."
Xia Yan had been experiencing a runny nose and chills recently, but he didn't take it seriously. Upon hearing this, he asked, "Are my wife and I seriously ill?"
The doctor said, "Mr. Xia's illness is not serious, but Mrs. Xia is weak and has been ill for a long time, so she is indeed not feeling well."
"Please ask the doctor to save her," Xia Yan said immediately, "Don't worry about the medicine. We can use any medicine."
The doctor nodded slightly and prescribed medicine for them.
Mother Xia did feel better after taking the medicine, but soon the weather turned cold. Although she had tried to keep warm, she still caught a cold and her condition worsened. She also developed a fever at night.
Xia Yan's illness had recovered, but she was still a little weak. Zhou Yin didn't dare ask him and Xia Xin to take care of her, so he spent money to hire a maid to take care of her. He lived next door and watched over her personally, bringing her meals and medicine every day. Finally, Xia's mother's condition improved a little.
The old woman who came to help and Xia's mother said, "Your son-in-law is really kind. My own son doesn't have such filial piety."
Mother Xia couldn't help but say happily: "This child is very good. After all, he was carefully selected."
The mother-in-law laughed and said, "I heard that he is making a lot of money outside now. You will enjoy your life when your daughter gives birth to a big fat grandson. In the future, you only need to take care of the grandson. With your daughter by your side, you won't even have to worry about the conflicts between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law."
Mother Xia paused for a moment, then said, "As for the child, it's up to fate."
"Hey, you don't know, I saw your uncle go to ask the doctor to see me early this morning, and Xin Niang seems to be pregnant."
Mother Xia immediately sat up from the bed, "Really?"
"If you don't believe me, just call someone in and ask them and you'll know."
Mother Xia couldn't bear it any longer, so she immediately went out to look for her daughter. When she got outside, she remembered that she was sick and she didn't want to pass her illness on to her daughter, so she stopped in her tracks.
Xia Yan, who was in the next room, heard the noise and came out to see her standing outside. He frowned and asked, "It's so cold outside, why did you come out?"
Mother Xia asked hurriedly, "I heard Xinniang is pregnant?"
Xia Yan glanced at the old woman and felt unhappy. His mother was recuperating in the room, so he could tell what she was talking about.
He nodded and said, "Yes, I'm pregnant, but it's still a short time, so I can't announce it yet."
Mother Xia nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, it's still early, we can't shout too loudly, what if we scare away the Goddess of Childbirth?"
She looked around and asked, "Where are Xin Niang and Zhou Yin?"
"Xin Niang is feeling sleepy and is sleeping right now. Zhou Yin has gone out to work. You should go back to the house quickly to avoid catching a cold."
Xia's mother had no choice but to agree.
In fact, Zhou Yin went out to buy medicine, not only for Xia's mother, but also for Xia Xin.
Her pregnancy was not in good condition, so the doctor prescribed some medicine. However, because it was still early and the pregnancy was not in good condition, he and Xia Yan discussed it and decided not to tell Xia's mother for the time being.
If the child cannot be saved, it will only add to Xia's mother's sadness if she finds out.
Who knew that the maid would tell Xia's mother so quickly?
However, since Xia's mother already knew about it, they naturally couldn't hide it. Everyone could only create the illusion that Xia Xin was doing well, and instructed the mother-in-law not to talk about Xia Xin's situation in front of Xia's mother.
The medicine Xia Xin had taken before worked, and the child was saved, but Xia's mother's illness worsened and was getting worse.
After the New Year, the weather was still cold and Xia's mother was about to die.
Xia Yan held her hand tightly and whispered to her, "Hold on a little longer, it will be fine when the weather gets warmer."
He said, "Shangzhou is too cold, it's hard to recover. We'll go somewhere warmer later. You just have to get through this spring first."
Xia Yan's voice was so low that it was inaudible, "Don't leave me alone..."
Mother Xia looked at him apologetically, "I'm afraid it won't work. It's a surprise that you can still make it this far. Fortunately, Xin Niang has a child..."
Xia Yan's tears fell on the back of her hand, and she could not hold them back for a moment.
Zhou Yin supported Xia Xin and stood aside, looking at Xia Xin worriedly.
Xia Xin's face turned pale. When she saw her mother looking at her, she walked forward and knelt in front of her bed.
Mother Xia grabbed her hand and whispered, "The ground is cold, don't kneel."
Zhou Yin hurriedly helped her up and sat her on the bed.
Mother Xia glanced at Zhou Yin and said to Xia Xin, "Seeing you two doing so well, I'm relieved. You must take good care of your father from now on."
