When Fu Dahai went out, he was spotted by Fu Dazhi, who was returning from playing cards.
However, neither of them had a flashlight. Fu Dahai was focused on selling the fish to Fu San and going home as soon as possible, so he didn't notice Fu Dazhi locking the door.
Seeing Fu Dahai carrying a bulging net bag, Fu Dazhi felt a surge of jealousy.
Especially since he lost money again tonight!
Why is it that he can't make big money?
Thinking back to the day Fu Wan and the others came to find Fu Dahai, Fu Dazhi became even angrier, and for a while, he tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep.
Li Fang had been woken up when he entered the room, and hearing his tossing and turning, she guessed that Fu Dazhi had lost money again.
Li Fang was extremely annoyed, but she kept her mouth shut and didn't say anything. She simply turned over and continued to sleep.
"Hey, when did Fu Dahai from next door get back?"
Hearing Li Fang's commotion, Fu Dazhi suddenly asked a question.
After not hearing a reply from Li Fang for a while, he kicked her again.
"I'm talking to you, are you dead?"
Li Fang felt the pain and simply sat up.
"How would I know about other people's family affairs? Besides, didn't Fu Dahai go out to sea? Where has he come back?"
"He's back already. I just bumped into him carrying this net bag. Looks like he went to Fu San's place to sell his goods!"
Fu Dazhi grew angrier the more he thought about it. Fu Dahai's family was much poorer than his own, but this guy was just luckier than him.
He used to disbelieve in luck, but ever since he started playing cards, his luck has gotten worse every day.
Fu Dahai's wife is prettier than mine, and he even has a son!
Even though he's sick and takes medicine every day, he's still a son. Look at Fu Dazhi, he doesn't even have a daughter, let alone a son!
Thinking of this, Fu Dazhi couldn't help but glare at Li Fang again.
She can't even have a child; I don't know how she can be a woman.
Li Fang used to be intimidated by him, but now she's given up on everything. She envies the life of Qian Jing next door, whose children are obedient and whose husband earns money for the family.
Who else is like Fu Dazhi, who becomes a completely different person after getting addicted to gambling?
Why are you glaring at me?!
Fu Dazhi instinctively reached out to slap Li Fang in the face, but then thought better of it and put his hand back.
No, he still has to have a baby, otherwise those card players will laugh at him all the time for his lineage going extinct.
"Did you go to the town hospital last time? When exactly are you expected to give birth?"
Li Fang had been expecting a fight tonight, but hearing him bring this up made her feel a little guilty.
Not being able to conceive made me feel somewhat insecure.
However, remembering what the doctor had said, Li Fang hesitated again.
"I...I went. The doctor said there's no problem with my pregnancy..."
"If there's no problem, why has there been no movement for so long?"
Fu Dazhi was frustrated. He and Fu Dahai got married almost immediately, and Fu Dahai's child was already almost ready to start school.
Li Fang looked at Fu Dazhi's profile in the darkness. This man had actually treated her well before they got married, but she didn't know why he had turned out this way.
Just like the other women in the village said, it suddenly rotted, like a cabbage in the field.
"Speak up, are you mute?"
"What are you saying? The doctor said you should get checked too. Having a baby isn't just my problem!"
After being scolded like that, Li Fang simply blurted out everything the town doctor had said earlier.
These words ignited Fu Dazhi like a fire. Damn it, wasn't this saying that he was no good?!
"You mean there's something wrong with me? Don't you know whether there's something wrong with me or not?"
After saying that, he got impatient and pressed Li Fang down to take off her clothes, but the next second, his stomach started growling again.
Damn it, Fu Dahai made him forget to ask his wife to cook him something to eat; he hasn't eaten dinner yet.
"Go get me something to eat, I haven't had dinner yet!"
Li Fang pulled her clothes closer together, muttering to herself.
Who eats before doing anything? Could there really be something wrong with her husband?
Thinking about it this way, the pressure in her heart suddenly lessened a lot.
Meanwhile, Fu Dazhi was also thinking to himself. After Li Fang went to the kitchen, he lit a cigarette, which he had won at the card table that day. As he smoked, he recalled what Li Fang had just said.
Damn it, he hadn't really thought about the possibility that he had a problem before. He couldn't possibly go to the hospital for a checkup, could he?
If people found out he went to the hospital to get this checked, wouldn't they laugh their heads off?
No, we still need to make everyone think it's Li Fang's fault!
Some men are just that selfish; they value their own pride more than their wives.
Thinking this, Fu Dazhi took two more deep drags on his cigarette before carefully extinguishing it, intending to save it for later.
Li Fang can't have such thoughts; he needs to talk to his mother and have her give him a good talking-to.
As night fell, Fu Wan and her family finished packing and went back to their house. After drifting at sea for almost two days, Fu Wan felt that her own bed was still the most comfortable.
She slept soundly through the night. When she opened her eyes again, before she could even sit up, she saw her daughter sitting beside her, frowning and covering her mouth with her two little hands.
"Lingling, what's wrong?"
Upon hearing Fu Wan's voice, Fu Ling's eyes immediately welled up with tears.
"Waaaaah, Mom, I'll never steal spicy snacks again! My mouth got bitten by a mouse, waaaaah!"
Fu Wan was shocked to hear this. Rats carry a lot of bacteria, and if she got bitten, she would have to go to the hospital to get checked out.
She quickly sat up. "Put your hand down and let Mom see."
Fu Ling lowered her hand, sobbing. Fu Wan breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the wound on the corner of her mouth.
What kind of rat bite is this? It's clearly a festering sore on the corner of the mouth!
Seeing that Fu Wan didn't speak, Fu Ling cried even harder, "Waaaaah, my mouth is going to rot, what am I going to do, Mommy!"
Qin Mingzhu's eyes also reddened as she held Fu Ling and looked at Fu Wan.
"Godmother, let's go see Uncle Xiaobai for treatment. He's a doctor."
After saying that, she was about to put the clothes on Fu Ling. Fu Wan was both amused and exasperated, and she helped them put on the clothes.
"No need to go to the hospital. I'll put some water from the pot lid on it for you later, and it'll be fine in a couple of days."
Upon hearing this, Fu Ling immediately stopped crying and looked at Fu Wan with wet eyes.
"real?"
"Really, I wouldn't lie to you. But you can't sneak food at night anymore. If it really was a rat bite, we'll have to go to a big hospital and get injections many times!"
These words startled Fu Ling, causing her to shrink back.
"Okay, we'll never eat it again!"
Fu Wan was finally satisfied. After putting on her clothes, she took the two children out of the house.
Ye Xiaocui steamed a big pot of buns early in the morning, and now she is cleaning up the fish and shrimp they brought back.
Seeing that Fu Ling's eyes were red and swollen from crying, Ye Xiaocui couldn't help but stop what she was doing.
"Oh dear, my sweet granddaughter, what's wrong with you? Why are you crying like this so early in the morning?"
