Chapter 374 Jealousy
As she spoke, Granny Xu carried the child into the clinic. As soon as she entered, she didn't see Yu Niang, so she shouted at the top of her lungs, "Where did that little hussy go? Oh, did she go to find another wild man?"
These words were harsh, and Xu An, who had followed in, blushed again. Xu An stepped forward and pulled at Granny Xu, but Granny Xu ignored him and continued to curse.
Qi Li quickly stepped forward and said, "Grandma, please do not make loud noises in the clinic."
"Grandma, are you looking for the young woman who was just brought in?"
“Mother, please stop talking, please stop talking. I know where Yu Niang is.”
After Qili said that, Granny Xu became a little more restrained, but she was still muttering under her breath, cursing something.
Xu An led Granny Xu to Li San Niang's consultation table, and saw that the curtain was drawn inside. Just as he was about to ask a question, he realized that the curtain was drawn.
Then they heard Granny Xu immediately start cursing: "Well, in broad daylight, they've even drawn the curtains. Are they having an affair inside?"
"Come quick, everyone! Look! That woman's cheating on me!"
With a "whoosh," Qiu Xiang emerged from inside and lifted the curtain. Qiu Xiang stared at Granny Xu with a gloomy expression, as if she would tear Granny Xu's mouth apart if she uttered another word.
Qiu Xiang was a seasoned member of the Bad Guys who had completed countless missions; once she got serious, her murderous aura went straight for Granny Xu.
Granny Xu was frightened and remained motionless, muttering something but no longer shouting.
"Are they Yu Niang's family members?"
If you're here to see Yu Niang, please come in quietly. If you're here to cause trouble, please leave.
When Li San Niang's words from inside reached Xu An, he got up to go in. As he passed Qiu Xiang, she stepped aside to let him pass. Xu Pozi followed behind, wanting to go in as well, but Qiu Xiang stopped her.
Granny Xu didn't dare to cause trouble with Qiu Xiang, who looked like a troublemaker, so she called Xu An. Xu An had already walked to the curtain when he heard Granny Xu's call, so he turned around and said to Qiu Xiang, "This is my mother. Please make way for me, madam."
Qiu Xiang didn't move, and continued to stand in front of Granny Xu.
Li San Niang said from inside, "The inner room is cramped and not suitable for too many people to come in."
Hearing this, Xu An thought for a moment and then said nothing more. He turned to Granny Xu and said, "Mother, you take Xiao Lang home first. I'll take Yu Niang home when she wakes up."
Granny Xu had no choice but to turn around and leave, huffing and puffing.
"Right now, she not only has an external injury on her wrist, but she has also just given birth and her body is severely weakened, which is why she hasn't woken up yet."
After he takes the medicine, we'll see if he wakes up.
I've already written the prescription; go and pay.
Xu An looked at the person on the bed with their eyes closed, seemingly unconscious, and responded. He picked up the prescription that Li San Niang had mentioned and placed on the consultation table, paid at the counter, and then followed Qi Li to the backyard to brew the medicine.
After Li San Niang put in the needle and woke up Yu Niang, she told her what had happened, “...I think your mother-in-law is not easy to get along with. Is this why you are so upset?”
Do you have relatives in Chang'an? I can help you contact them.
Yu Niang leaned against the wall, looking up at the roof beam, unsure of what to say.
Looking at Yu Niang like this, Li San Niang really didn't know what to say.
She had no choice but to continue, saying, "You just gave birth, and your body is weak. You should take good care of yourself."
Now that you've come to me, tell me what you're going to do, and see if I can help you.
"help me?"
Yu Niang looked at Li San Niang and nodded, "I am a doctor, so of course I can help you."
"help me?
There's no one who can help. No one can help.
Li San Niang kept repeating these words over and over again, knowing that if she didn't stop her, Yu Niang would fall into self-harm again.
Li San Niang forcefully pried Yu Niang's other hand away, looked into her eyes and said, word by word, "You speak first, and then we'll see if I can help you."
Yu Niang paused for a moment, then began to ramble on about her own story.
Yu Niang's mother-in-law looked down on her from the moment Yu Niang married into the Xu family, because Yu Niang's parents had died and she had no brothers to help her; she was just a niece being fostered in her uncle's house.
However, Xu An took a liking to Yu Niang because of her good looks. When Yu Niang came to Chang'an with her aunt to sell vegetables, Xu An saw her and began to have designs on her.
Whether a good color is a good thing or a bad thing for a person is hard to say.
Yu Niang is beautiful, but beautiful women, especially those who are beautiful but do not protect their beauty, will eventually encounter evil dragons.
That day, Yu Niang encountered a thug who wanted to harass her. Xu An happened to see this, stepped forward, chased the thug away, and saved Yu Niang.
And so, naturally, the two of them got together.
Despite his mother's strong reluctance, Xu An could not change his mind. Furthermore, Yu Niang's uncle and aunt not only did not ask for a bride price, but were also willing to provide a dowry of several taels of silver. In the end, Xu An married Yu Niang.
Despite being disliked by Granny Xu, Yu Niang married into the Xu family, and her suffering began from that moment.
Xu An was the foreman of laborers who worked for a merchant in the area. He often had to travel to other places to do business with the merchant and was rarely at home.
This gave Granny Xu an opportunity, and while Xu An was away from home, Granny Xu began to torment Yu Niang.
At first it was alright, just that Yu Niang did more work, cooking, washing clothes, mending, and cleaning. Although it was tiring, it was manageable.
Every time Xu An returned from his business trip, he would use his wages to buy things for Yu Niang, whether it was silver earrings or cakes, he would always bring something back for Yu Niang.
Xu An's behavior made Granny Xu look down on Yu Niang even more.
Even secretly, this widowed woman, who had raised Xu An single-handedly for many years, actually became jealous of Yu Niang.
Yu Niang was beautiful, young, and favored by Xu An, all of which made Granny Xu unable to tolerate her.
"This little slut stole my son!"
This is what Granny Xu was thinking. She even thought, "Once this woman gives birth to the child, I'll poison her and make her die."
Then, An'er and I can live a good life together.
Granny Xu began to torment Yu Niang even more, not only making her do more work but also not letting her eat her fill.
Every time Xu An returned from a business trip, he would make love to Yu Niang at night. The man would growl loudly, Yu Niang would moan softly, and the bed would creak.
As soon as Xu An left, Yu Niang would be subjected to a barrage of insults from Granny Xu, who would call her a seductive vixen and a woman who wanted men, and could hurl a variety of vile insults at her for an hour.
Granny Xu began spreading rumors that Yu Niang was having an affair. Unable to bear the humiliation, Yu Niang attempted suicide by cutting her wrists for the first time.
When Granny Xu saw this, she became frightened, afraid that others would say she had mistreated her daughter-in-law while her son was away, and had even driven her to her death.
So, Granny Xu went to the clinic, bought medicine, and saved the person.
Later, Yu Niang became pregnant.
When Xu An returned from his merchant journey and heard the news, he immediately hugged Yu Niang and spun her around, exclaiming, "That's wonderful! Yu Niang! We're having a baby! We're going to be parents!"
Yu Niang, you are so kind!
I must earn more money so that you and the children can live a good life in the future!
At this moment, Xu An's words, still spoken with genuine sincerity, warmed Yu Niang's heart, which had been tormented by Granny Xu.
But Granny Xu, who was watching from the side, was furious and went crazy with anger!
