When Doctor Li came back, Su Baozhu asked.
"Doctor Li, what happened over there?"
"It's a happy event. My daughter-in-law is pregnant, but there are some signs of miscarriage. It's normal for pregnant women to have such a situation as they are fleeing and can't get a good rest."
Doctor Li thought of something and said, "Miss Su, among the herbs you collected from the bandits, there are several herbs that can protect the fetus. I will boil the medicine for them and give it to you when I get the money."
"It's all small stuff. I'll get it."
He might not have been in a hurry in the past, but now there was a pregnant woman waiting, so Dr. Li stood aside and waited.
Su Yin always placed scarce supplies such as medicinal herbs on the carriage and took out a bag of herbs from the stool cabinet below.
"It's all here. Take a look. If you need anything, just take it."
Doctor Li selected several herbs from the collection and went to Nan Jingzhi to look for pregnancy-preserving medicine for Li Si's family.
Seeing Doctor Li coming back, Su Yin asked with concern, "Have you found everything?"
Doctor Li smiled and said, "Maybe this kid is lucky to have found everything. I found two herbs at Young Master Nan's place, but I was missing one. I never thought that the Zhang family had it. Isn't this a coincidence? This kid is lucky."
"That's good."
Doctor Li took the herbs that he had prepared with great difficulty and hurried to boil the medicine. Naturally, he had to ask the Li family for the water he needed.
After Yunniang finished drinking the medicine, the Li family members breathed a sigh of relief.
Pregnant women tend to feel tired easily and fall asleep soon after taking the medicine.
After their initial joy, the Li family had to face realistic problems.
"It's a good thing that the third son's wife is pregnant. The third son will have an heir. But you also heard what Doctor Li said. There are signs of miscarriage."
"The first three months of pregnancy are the most critical time. It is the most likely time for pregnancy. But you should know the current situation without me telling you."
"Li Rui discussed with several other families earlier and decided to speed up tomorrow. Not to mention taking a break, we need to walk faster. Given the situation of the third daughter-in-law, it would be difficult for her to walk faster, let alone as usual."
"She is weak now and can't stand being tired, but in the current situation, it's hard not to be tired."
With his father's words, Li Si's previous joy was little by little shattered by reality.
Is it destined that this child will not be kept?
"Third brother, tell me, what do you think?" Old man Li Er looked at his youngest son.
Li Si raised his head and said, "Dad, at most I will be a little tired and carry her on my back."
Mrs. Li glared at her son and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? You can only carry him for an hour at best. Do you want to carry him all the time? Can your body handle it?"
"For one or two days, you can hold on if you grit your teeth, but what about the days after that?"
"There's still a long way to go. You kid, you don't even use your brain when you talk."
Li Si remained silent, feeling very annoyed.
Li Si's second brother said, "Why don't we go and ask Su Yin for help."
As soon as he said this, everyone in the family looked at him.
"I heard that Su Yin and his group have two carriages. One mule carriage is for checked luggage, and the other carriage is for passengers."
Li Si's sister-in-law asked, "Will they agree?"
Li Si's second sister-in-law followed up and said, "Su Yin is a good girl. If we go and ask them, I think they will agree. After all, we are from the same village, she shouldn't refuse."
Mrs. Li listened to what her two daughters-in-law said and became interested. This was the best solution they could think of so far.
She said, "When you ask someone to do something for you, don't just ask for it. You have to show your sincerity."
She looked at her youngest son and said, "Third son, Yunniang is your daughter-in-law, you go and take care of this matter. When you go, bring a bamboo tube of water with you."
Water is precious now, and taking water is also a way to show one's sincerity.
"Oh." Li Si agreed.
"Wait a minute, bring some millet over."
"good."
The two daughters-in-law felt very distressed when they heard that their mother-in-law was going to take out so many things.
If they were still in the village and had more than ten acres of land at home, they wouldn't care. But now they have nothing, and the more than ten acres of land have been bought cheaply by people in the same village.
The assets I have now are all I have. Every bit I spend is less and less, but I can't find a way to make money. I'm completely living off my savings.
The third son's wife has just become pregnant, so the family has to spend less. I'm afraid we will have to spend more money for this child in the future.
The eldest son's wife and the second son's wife looked at each other, and no one spoke.
After all, Mrs. Li Er was an experienced person. Even though her two daughters-in-law didn't say anything, she knew what they were thinking.
She looked at the two of them and said, "When you were pregnant, I gave you all the supplements you should have. Now it's the third daughter-in-law's turn, and I won't treat her unfairly. Don't feel bad, if you get pregnant at this time, I will treat you the same. The child you give birth to is our grandson of the Li family, and the third daughter-in-law is also pregnant with our grandson of the Li family."
These words are a reminder to them and also a warning to them.
"Mom, we all know."
"That's good to know." Mrs. Li nodded.
Li Si found Su Yin with a bamboo tube of water and a small bag of rice.
Su Yin and the others were just about to take a break when they saw Li Si coming over with something in his hand. Su's mother was busy taking care of him.
"Xiao Si, is there something wrong?" Su's mother asked.
Li Si hesitated for two seconds and said, "Aunt Su, my wife is pregnant, but the fetus is not very stable. Doctor Li said that she needs to rest well. But, in this situation, how can she rest well?"
"I came here today to shamelessly ask for a parking space for my wife. It doesn't matter if we are in the car or at the front, I just hope she can walk less and keep the child safe."
As he spoke, Li Si handed over the things in his hand, his eyes full of uneasiness, fearing that they would refuse.
Master Wan San raised his eyes and glanced at the boy. He knew what the outcome of this matter would be without even looking. He simply turned over and continued to sleep.
Mother Su pushed the things back. Li Si thought she was going to refuse, and suddenly became anxious, "Aunt Su."
Mother Su interrupted him with a smile, "It's a good thing that your wife is pregnant. You can ask her to come over tomorrow. You don't need to give her anything. We are from the same village, so it's just a matter of helping out."
Li Si didn't take it back, but pushed it back again, thanking her happily, "Thank you Aunt Su. You must give us the things, otherwise we will feel bad."
Unable to persuade the other party, Su's mother accepted the things.
Before Li Si left, Su Yin said, "Li Si, bring your quilt here tomorrow."
"Ah?" Li Si was confused.
Mother Su smiled and explained, "The road is not smooth, and the carriage is bumpy. Bring a quilt to cushion it, so your wife can sit comfortably."
