She thought for a moment and added, "I've made the decision and am prepared, but I won't force it. I'll just let things take their natural course."
"Giving birth is like walking through the gates of hell for a woman. In my many years of medical practice, I've seen many women lose their lives in childbirth, and I've also treated many who developed lifelong illnesses as a result of childbirth."
Wu Zhi's eyes were misty. "The more I see and the more I diagnose, the less I understand why so many women are willing to risk their lives for men."
Xu Jiang pondered for a moment and said, "There are many reasons. Perhaps they didn't choose to do it, but were simply obeying blindly. Perhaps they understood but were powerless to resist. Perhaps it was out of genuine love for their husbands and children. Or perhaps it was simply for their own sake. Different people, different circumstances, and naturally different reasons."
Wu Zhi asked, "What about you?"
Xu Jiang tilted her head slightly, "I am the latter, for myself."
Wu Zhi was puzzled, "Myself?"
Xu Jiang looked towards the direction of the flower hall in the backyard, where was the person she had lost for many years and had found again.
But now that Keren is back, the years that have been missed can never be made up.
During the eight years of wandering after losing his master, Xu Jiang was riddled with holes in the lonely and helpless nights.
Especially after she learned that he was her father, her love, hatred and regret gnawed a dark hole in her soul that could not be filled or blocked no matter what.
Now, although it is numb and no longer hurts, it will never go away, and she will never be able to ignore it.
Because it is a loss of emotion and a loss of blood.
So she wanted to try to create another blood relative to fill the gap.
And this idea became even stronger when I heard Lou Yunchun's childhood experience that night.
Both he and she are incomplete people, and this incompleteness cannot be made up by each other alone.
If you want to make up for it, the process will inevitably be painful, but as long as he can face it with you and never leave you, it will be worth it.
The confidence she had in making decisions came not only from herself and Lou Yunchun, but also from Lou Jing and Mrs. Lou.
They set a good example for her and Lou Yunchun.
After Wu Zhi finished listening to her, she was lost in thought for a moment, then asked softly, "Will you and him be good mothers and fathers?"
Xu Jiang nodded, "Of course." Just like their parents.
Wu Zhi exhaled a breath of foul air, then slapped his thigh and said, "Alright! Since you're ready, I'll escort you. As long as this miracle doctor is here, Ah Qiao and you will be safe."
Xu Jiang was so moved when she heard this that she couldn't help but throw her down under the peach tree, "Azhi, you are so kind!"
Wu Zhi said in disgust, "Ouch! It's so heavy! Get out of here!"
A few days ago, he was calling me "the charlatan", but now he's calling me "Azhi". He's so fickle.
Wu Zhi expressed disgust in her heart but had a smile on her face.
Lin Hongchu and Yinyin came over with cakes and saw the two of them rolling around under the tree. They put the cakes in and mixed them in. Suddenly, they were covered with fallen flowers and the scent of spring.
After the main banquet was set, Xu Jiang and Yin Yin went to call people separately.
As soon as she reached the east window, she heard a noisy scene.
Zeng Er roared, "Cross the river chariot! Take his pawn!"
Wan Qingmiao stopped him, "Why eat the pawns? They're about to attack, so we should definitely attack the chariots and protect the general!"
Lou Jing's forehead twitched, and he finally roared angrily: "A true gentleman watches chess without saying a word! You two little bastards, if you mess with me again, I'll throw you both out!"
The two of them fell silent immediately.
Finally it's quiet.
Lou Jing snorted and did not accept the two people's suggestions. Instead, he chose to attack as defense and sent a cannon across the river, blowing up Master Lin's car.
Master Lin calmly helped a pawn cross the river, causing the situation on Lou Jing's side to suddenly become stagnant.
There was a long silence under the west window.
Zeng Er whispered, "That's why I said, take his pawn first..."
Wan Qingmiao also added, "The rib cart won't be stiff and dead."
Master Lin coughed, and Lou Yunchun also cleared his throat, but in the end they couldn't help laughing twice.
Lou Jing couldn't stand it any longer. He pointed at Zeng Zhui and Wan Qingmiao, blowing his beard and yelling, "You two little bastards, get out of here!"
Zeng Zhui and Wan Qingmiao were startled by the roar and immediately ran away around him.
When he ran out and ran into Xu Jiang, Wan Qingmiao asked, "Sister, are you ready to eat?"
Zeng Zhui touched his stomach and said, "I'm just hungry."
Xu Jiang heard Lou Jing's two roars and asked in a low voice, "Master lost, and Master won?"
The two nodded vigorously.
Xu Jiang covered her mouth and laughed, then said to Wan Qingmiao, "The banquet is set up in the small garden, you guys go and wait first."
The two men followed the instructions and headed towards the small garden while discussing the chess game.
Lou Yunchun heard the conversation and immediately stood up and walked out, calling out, "A Jiang."
Xu Jiang stepped forward and said, "The banquet is ready. I will call my father and the teacher to the table."
Lou Yunchun took her hand and squeezed it, "Thank you for your hard work."
Xu Jiang said: "It's not hard, I enjoy it."
No need to call them, Lou Jing and Master Lin have already come out.
Lou Jing's face was full of resignation. "It's all because of those two brats that I lost to you. Let's fight again after dinner."
Master Lin said leisurely, "I'll accompany you to the end."
Xu Jiang asked curiously, "How many games have you two solved?" In addition to the "Rampant Rise", the chess record also included twelve endgames.
Lou Yunchun said: "One was broken, and father lost."
"Who lost!" Lou Jing's anger, which had just subsided, was aroused again. "It's all because of those two bastards. I made a mistake in judgment."
Then he scolded his son, "And you, you just stand there and watch them make trouble, and as their brother-in-law, you don't know how to intervene."
This time it was Master Lin's turn to have his beard curled up.
There is nothing wrong with Wan Qingmiao calling Lou Yunchun brother-in-law, but what kind of brother-in-law is Zeng Er calling him? He hasn't agreed to marry his daughter yet.
Lou Jing was so busy taking out his anger on his son that he didn't realize he had sparked a fire.
So when they fought again, Master Lin broke him three games in a row, and he finally rushed home with his wife in grief and anger.
For a long time afterwards, whenever he thought of these three games of chess, he would sit up in bed in shock, beat his chest, and ask himself:
Where did he lose?
Which step did I take wrong?
