"Third son-in-law! The way you're saying this makes it sound like your mother can push your third sister away just because she's not pregnant!" Cai Xiaolian came out of the house, her hair still damp, but she couldn't hold back any longer.
Where does this logic come from?
Even if a mother-in-law isn't pregnant, she shouldn't push her daughter-in-law!
How much force would it take to push someone to the point where they need to be protected from miscarriage?
Cai Xiaolian was so angry that she stopped calling him "brother-in-law"!
"Second sister-in-law, no, that's not what I meant..." Third uncle was anxious. Usually, his wife's family treated him very well and had never given him a cold shoulder before. For a moment, he really didn't know how to communicate with them.
“Dad, let’s go see his aunt! Their family dares to bully his aunt like this because they think their maternal family is far away, right? Perfect timing, we, as the elder brother and sister-in-law, are here! Let’s stand up for his aunt! Otherwise people will think that his aunt’s brothers don’t help their sister!” Cai Xiaolian didn’t bother arguing with her third uncle and directly called Gu Shouxin to go to the Guo family.
Even my third aunt's husband couldn't stop them from going.
The four Gu sisters were in the room, their hair still wet. They all wanted to help, but since their hair wasn't dry, they would be sent back even if they went.
The sisters could only try their best to dry their hair quickly.
...
The backyard of Guo's rice shop was quiet. At this time, every household should be having dinner, but the lights in Guo's main room were not on, only the kitchen was slightly lit.
My third uncle was stunned for a moment. He wasn't like this when he left!
A small figure emerged from the kitchen doorway. Guo Rui was holding a cup, the water inside still steaming, clearly boiling water.
Seeing that everyone in the courtyard ignored his father, he put down his cup, ran to Gu Shouxin, and threw himself into his arms: "Second Uncle, waaaaah, my mother is hungry. I can't cook, I can only boil water for her to drink first. I can't brew medicine either, waaaaah, Second Uncle..."
Guo Rui's third uncle was shocked and pulled him aside: "Rui'er, where are your grandma, aunt and uncle?"
Guo Rui struggled free and then hugged Cai Xiaolian again: "Second Aunt, could you please brew some medicine for my mother and cook some food? Teach me, so I can cook for my mother and brew medicine for her in the future!"
Cai Xiaolian couldn't stand seeing children cry, so she squatted down and hugged Guo Rui: "Don't cry, don't cry. Your second aunt will make medicine for your mother, and I'll have your second uncle go to the street to buy food for your mother. Be good, don't cry! Your second uncle and aunt are here, so your mother won't be left unattended. Don't worry!"
Third Uncle: "Second Brother, Second Sister-in-law, please let me explain, I really didn't know..."
Gu Shouxin interrupted him: "Xiaolian, go and see if it's Third Sister. I saw a porridge shop on the way here, and it was still open. I'll go and buy Third Sister a bowl."
Third Uncle: "Second Brother, I..."
Cai Xiaolian nodded and took Guo Rui's hand: "Okay, you go ahead. I'll go see Third Sister first and brew her medicine while I'm at it."
Third Uncle: "Second Sister-in-law, I..."
Neither of them paid any attention to him.
Uncle was so anxious that he eventually went to the kitchen to brew medicine for Aunt Gu.
Inside the room, it was a bit stuffy. Gu Sangu lay on the bed with her eyes closed, her face pale.
Guo Rui leaned over the edge of the bed and whispered, "Mom, Second Uncle and Second Aunt are here! Mom, I've boiled some water and added sugar. Would you like to get up and have a sip?"
Gu Sangu opened her eyes, her gaze somewhat unfocused. But upon recognizing Guo Rui and Cai Xiaolian, she immediately perked up: "Second Sister-in-law, I've been bullied!"
