Jiang Mengxue remembered that she had met Gao Xiulan, the women's director of their Taoyuan Brigade, in the hospital before and heard her mention the incident of Gao Yuzhen jumping into the river.
But looking at her condition now, she seems to be much better.
"Sister Yuzhen, bring the child over here to sit. This is your daughter, right?"
Jiang Mengxue gently touched the little girl's hand, her face flushed red. The little girl felt embarrassed when she saw her beautiful sister, and went straight into her mother's arms.
Gao Yuzhen looked at the girl in her arms and smiled: "This is my fourth child. She is still little. She saw me go out just now and insisted on following me."
"It's normal for a child to cling to his mother when he's still young."
"You seem to be in much better shape now than before."
The last time Li Cuiying visited her, she looked depressed. She was afraid that Gao Yuzhen would be depressed again.
Wang Daya said with a smile: "It's much better. It's been much easier since she separated from her mother-in-law."
Li Cuiying was a little surprised: "Dividing the family? How could your parents-in-law agree to this?"
After all, the old couple has three sons, and now they have ten granddaughters, but not a single grandson.
If the family is divided, how can I still be the master of my sons?
Gao Yuzhen put her daughter on the ground and let her play by herself. She sneered when she heard it, "Of course they don't agree, but it's not their turn to decide whether to have a boy or a girl. Anyway, I've already done this with my sisters-in-law. If his family still wants a grandson, they can just marry someone else."
They, the sisters-in-law, have been urged to have sons in this family for more than ten years, but none have come out. Now everyone says that it is the problem of Gu Anqing's brothers. Otherwise, it would be fine if one could not give birth, but how could all three brothers fail?
His reputation is like this now, no woman would be willing to marry him even if he is divorced.
Instead of marrying a woman with children and having them raised by others, it is better to raise your own daughter well and keep one at home to marry into your family in the future.
So the brothers discussed it and decided that for the sake of future family harmony, it would be better to live separately from the old couple.
After all, no man wants to be told every day that he can't have a son. At first, he could look for the reasons in his wife, but now the brothers also think that it may be their own problem.
Now, if someone keeps nagging them about how their wife can't give birth, on the surface they are saying that women can't give birth, but deep down in their hearts, isn't this just mocking them?
After a long time, I naturally didn't want to live with the old couple.
But the old couple thought that this was all for the good of their sons, but in the end, their sons didn't want them.
Although they are separated now, she still scolds her sons for being unfilial every day at home.
But everyone in the team knew about his family situation, although some elderly people also said that it was because his sons were unfilial.
But most people think that there is no problem with it, and dividing the family property does not mean that they will not provide for their parents in old age.
It was also clearly stated in the document signed when the family was divided that when the two elders reached a certain age and the money and food were distributed at the end of the year, the team would directly divide the food from the sons' shares and give it to them.
In this way, the team can make the decision directly, and there is no need to worry about the sons being unfilial in the future.
Actually, it’s better this way. At least if we don’t live together, there won’t be too many conflicts. Maybe the relationship will be eased a little after we break up.
Anyway, Gao Yuzhen is very satisfied with her current life. Her husband is capable and her daughters are obedient.
But Jiang Mengxue always noticed that Gao Yuzhen seemed to have something to say, but for some reason she didn't speak.
"Sister-in-law, do you have anything to say?"
Gao Yuzhen didn't expect Jiang Mengxue to be so meticulous, and she didn't act like she could guess everything.
Suddenly, she was so embarrassed that she couldn't say anything: "I, I, you know I jumped into the river right after giving birth last time. The water was icy cold, and I was afraid that my body would be frozen.
I found a doctor at the commune, and although he said my life wasn't in danger, he didn't say if I had any underlying illness. I'm worried that now that I'm doing well, my health might fail me."
Jiang Mengxue understood that it was impossible not to leave a chronic illness, and now the only thing to do was to see if she could recover a little bit.
Jiang Mengxue looked at Luan Huiying, thinking that she had studied medicine for a long time and must have more experience than her.
Luan Huiying noticed the look in Jiang Mengxue's eyes and quickly shook her head.
"Don't look at me. I've always studied Western medicine. I can do surgery, but it's really difficult for me to take people's pulses and regulate their bodies."
Jiang Mengxue gave up, but her experience came from being with her grandfather since she was a child. She knew a lot about gynecology and pediatrics, but she was not particularly sure.
"Sister Yuzhen, I'll take a look at it for you, but I'm not very sure. If it doesn't work, you'll have to go to the hospital and see an old doctor."
Gao Yuzhen was not disappointed. "It's okay. You know the situation here. There's only a health center in the commune, and it's not easy to get there. Besides, the doctors there often go to the countryside, so you can't see them for a long time. Just let me take a look."
Chinese medicine practitioners use the four methods of observation, auscultation, questioning and palpation. Jiang Mengxue looks at a person's complexion the first thing he or she does when he or she looks at the patient. This may be a professional habit.
"What's the color of your period? Is it normal compared to before?"
"It was delayed for several days, the color turned black, and my stomach hurt a lot, otherwise I wouldn't be so worried."
"Actually, having these symptoms is considered a good thing. Some people are so cold that their menstruation stops, which is more serious."
After taking her pulse, Jiang Mengxue knew that it was very difficult, at least it couldn't be cured by just a few doses of medicine.
You have to take good care of your body all year round, take nourishing food, and keep warm.
After all, Gao Yuzhen had given birth to five children in total, and she had never had a proper confinement period before, so her body was severely depleted.
Jiang Mengxue poured a cup of hot water and handed it to Gao Yuzhen.
"Sister Yuzhen, drink more hot water and don't touch anything cold in the future. Drink it first and I'll write you a prescription."
Jiang Mengxue tries to choose cheap and practical Chinese medicinal materials. If the price is too expensive, Gao Yuzhen may simply refuse to see a doctor in order to save money.
"This recipe is not expensive. You can get a lot for just ten cents. Drink it three times a day for half a month and see the effect."
Gao Yuzhen took the list. She could barely read a single word and didn't recognize most of the words on the list.
But she was relieved to hear that the price was not expensive.
She was afraid that a prescription would cost several or even dozens of dollars, which was really unaffordable for ordinary people.
"Okay, well, do you think I can still have children in this state?"
Jiang Mengxue didn't expect that she was still thinking about whether she could have children. With her current physical condition, it would be good if she could live without suffering for the rest of her life.
Perhaps Gao Yuzhen also saw what Jiang Mengxue was thinking, so she gave up.
Ultimately, she still feels unwilling to accept it. Why can everyone give birth but she can't?
I haven't seen it as difficult for other families to have a son.
Ever since she got married, her mother-in-law has been feeding her all kinds of bitter medicine every day just because she wants her to give birth to a boy.
I suffered for so many years, but in the end I didn't get what I wanted. Sometimes when I think about it in the middle of the night, tears fall.
