Seeing Su Man enter the house, Third Aunt continued, "We have to go to town to see a doctor. Chen Susu has always wanted to run around. Bringing her to town now is like throwing meat buns at a dog."
"That's true, but it's not a good thing for her to be like this." Zhao Chunhua was also worried.
"Well, let's just leave it to fate. When I was pregnant with my son Fu'an, I also had spotting when I was carrying water home. It wasn't a big deal, right? At most, I could feed her a few more eggs later to help her take care of the baby."
"That's the only way."
“…”
Separated by a wall, Su Man heard every word of their conversation.
They were right. When Jia Man was pregnant and giving birth, they did not take her to the hospital. Instead, they asked a midwife to deliver the baby for her. She was in so much pain that she almost lost her life.
Not to mention that Jia Man was deceived and would not go to the town, even the wives in the village mostly gave birth at home, and it was even more impossible for someone like Chen Susu.
After listening to the corner, Su Man went to the inner room.
When Su Man entered, she saw Chen Susu lying on her back on the bed, motionless. If it weren't for her hollow eyes, Su Man would have thought she was not alive.
Today, Chen Susu had washed her face and had a white cloth wrapped around her head. After this period of torture, her face had become thinner and unrecognizable, like skin stretched over bones, making her eyes look unusually large.
Hearing the noise, she slowly turned her head. Seeing it was Su Man, she sneered and turned back.
"Here you are again, a lobbyist."
Su Man knew that Chen Susu didn't believe her. Not only that, because of Xiaofeng's deception, Chen Susu was very hostile to her.
As for why Chen Susu is willing to eat...
Su Man glanced at her belly, which was not yet visible, and did not move closer. Instead, she pulled a stool and sat a few steps away from the bed. "I heard from Aunt San that your pregnancy is unstable."
Chen Susu's eyes flickered for a moment, then she turned her head back to stare at the ceiling. "I've been hungry for a few days, and then I hit my head against the wall to commit suicide. It's normal for the fetus to be unstable."
Although Chen Susu's tone was extremely flat, Su Man, who had already seen through her thoughts, said bluntly, "You did it on purpose."
"You're talking nonsense!"
Chen Susu reacted strongly, "What makes you say I did it on purpose? Do you think you can curry favor with your mother-in-law by talking nonsense? Do you have any conscience?"
Facing her accusations, Su Man was not angry, but smiled helplessly, "Sister-in-law, your acting skills are not good. The scientific name for your reaction is anger out of shame. Anyone with a discerning eye can tell that there is something wrong with you."
"I don't understand what you're saying!"
Chen Susu simply turned around and faced Su Man, but where Su Man couldn't see, her face was full of panic.
What should I do? If Su Man finds out about her plan, then her plan to escape by using the doctor's treatment will fail. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If I miss it... I miss it...
"Susu."
Su Man's voice suddenly rang out from above her, startling Chen Susu. She jumped up from the kang and said, "You...what are you doing!"
Su Man was afraid that she might have a miscarriage, so she quickly stepped back. "I have no ill intentions. I just want to tell you that your method won't work."
Chen Susu laughed sarcastically, "And then? Persuade me to give birth to the child in peace?"
Feeling Chen Susu's hostility, Su Man sighed, "You think too simply. Do you think they will take you to the town to see a doctor because they care about the child? Yes, they care about your child, but they are more afraid of being exposed."
Su Man paused. "Let me put it bluntly. Even if you lose this child, there's still another one. But if you run away, they'll have nothing. Do you understand?"
Chen Susu's chest heaved heavily several times, her hands that were supporting herself on the quilt tightly grasped the sheets, and her eyes instantly turned red.
After finally having hope, it was shattered in the blink of an eye. This made Chen Susu, who was already restless due to her pregnancy, even more anxious. She had no place to vent her anger, so she grabbed the pillow on the bed and threw it at Su Man, "Get out!"
After saying that, she couldn't hold back any more and lay down on the pile of quilts and cried. A feeling of powerlessness swept over her, making it hard for her to breathe.
Looking at her trembling back, Su Man picked up the pillow, sat down beside the bed, and whispered softly, "I haven't finished yet. Now that you can't keep the baby, they may not care much. However, if this is their last child, they will have no choice."
Chen Susu's crying stopped abruptly. She raised her head suddenly, tears and snot still hanging on her face. "What did you say?"
Su Man stared into her eyes. "Aunt San's family only has Li Fuan as their son. If he is unable to have children, then the one in your belly will be their only child. They will do whatever it takes to keep this child."
“…”
Chen Susu's heart started beating wildly when she understood what Su Man meant. She swallowed unconsciously and was speechless for a long time.
"you mean..."
Halfway through her words, Chen Susu seemed to have thought of something and her expression suddenly changed. "What are you talking about! Fu'an is my man, how could I harm him? Wait until I tell my mother-in-law, and she'll kick you out!"
Judging from her expression, she was obviously moved, but she was afraid of ropes after being bitten once. Xiaofeng's example was right in front of her. She didn't dare to trust Su Man anymore, so she acted like this.
Su Man was not in a hurry and said calmly, "I know you don't believe me, but the solution is not to lie. You can think about it carefully. If you think it through, I will help you."
After delivering the message, Su Man did not stay long and planned to go out and let Chen Susu think about it carefully.
"stop."
Su Man, who had already reached the door, turned around. Chen Susu had gotten off the ground without knowing when. She leaned on the table, hunched over, and asked, "You want to run away too?"
"yes."
Su Man said without hesitation, "I have my own life to live, I want to leave here."
Perhaps Su Man's tone was too sincere, or perhaps Chen Susu had no other choice. After listening to Su Man's words, she was silent for a full half minute before she said, "You just said that we should make Li Fuan infertile. How do we do it?"
Seeing that Chen Susu had come to her senses, the excited Su Man almost danced a song "Thank You" for her.
She helped Chen Susu sit on the bed and said slowly, "There are many ways. The fastest way is to disable him with external force. But if we do that, firstly, it will be too conspicuous and people will see through our plan immediately. Secondly, if we hurt Li Fuan, the Li family will not let us go. We have to do it covertly, preferably without anyone noticing, so that no one can connect this matter to us. For example, we can drug him."
"Drug?"
Chen Susu immediately rejected Su Man's suggestion. "Don't say I can't go out. Even if I could, this village doesn't even have a clinic. How could there be medicine?"
"Everyone can come up with solutions, but the most urgent thing is to let them know that you are pregnant with a boy."
