Lin Chaodong couldn't laugh; instead, his eyes reddened. He tilted his head back, forcing back the tears that were about to fall, then let out a long breath and said in a hoarse voice:
"Mother, Dr. Li said the child is not seriously injured, but he won't be able to do physical labor when he grows up. She is also injured and will never be able to have children again."
After saying that, Lin Chaodong finally couldn't hold back anymore, lowered his head, and tears fell to the ground.
Yue Jiuyue didn't know if he was crying for the child, for Liu Shi, or for the fact that she would never have a child again.
"Don't be sad. You're in your postpartum period, so you can't cry, it'll hurt your eyes. After you're done with your postpartum period, you two should take Dazhuang to the county town for a checkup. If the county town can't treat it, then go to the prefectural city, the state city, or the capital."
People in this era believe that having many children brings many blessings. Although Yue Jiuyue felt that the young couple having a son and a daughter was just right, this was her own opinion, and one she dared not voice, for fear of upsetting the couple.
If Lin Chaodong was so upset, why did he still have time to pick a fight with her when she came back? Was he deliberately venting his bad mood on her?
Believe it or not, Yue Jiuyue actually guessed it right.
If Yue Jiuyue hadn't gone out today and hadn't invited Doctor Li to his home for a checkup, he wouldn't have found out about this so quickly, or he wouldn't have been the one facing this bolt from the blue.
If Yue Jiuyue hadn't desperately tried to stop him, Dazhuang wouldn't have grown so big in the womb, which would have prevented Liu from having a difficult childbirth, Dazhuang from becoming weak, and Liu from being unable to give birth.
Little by little, these things added up, which is why Lin Chaodong couldn't help but take the opportunity to vent his emotions when he heard Yue Jiuyue's voice.
He knew in his heart that these reasons were untenable, which is why he kept focusing on the fact that Yue Jiuyue did not want to take care of Liu Shi during her postpartum period.
Of course, in the end, all he got was a beating for nothing.
"mother!"
The couple couldn't help but look up at Yue Jiuyue. They really didn't expect Yue Jiuyue to say such a thing, and even planned to tell them to go to the capital to see a doctor.
The capital city! That's where the emperor lives, where many princes and ministers live, a big city they thought they would never go to in their entire lives, a city they didn't even dare to dream of. They never expected that their mother would actually send them to the capital to see a doctor!
This is my own mother! Absolutely, truly my own mother!
The couple were moved to tears.
"Also, the three people you brought back today are Liu and her two sons. Liu is here to take care of you during your postpartum period. She will come over tomorrow morning. Do you think we should clean up the room next door for her to stay in? In addition, one child will stay with the third son and the other with the fourth son, so the three of you brothers can each have one child."
These words naturally moved the couple even more, leaving them speechless. Lin Chaodong, recalling what he had done at noon, wished he could slap himself across the face.
His mother always thought about them, but they talked badly about her and complained about her behind her back. They were really despicable!
Yue Jiuyue did all this not with the intention of making them grateful to her. She only bought people to take care of Liu Shi because she didn't know how or wanted to. As for asking them to go to the capital to see a doctor, that was genuine. After all, not wanting to have children and not being able to have children are very different for a woman.
