Mrs. Zhou had seen many in-laws who abused their daughter-in-law's belly in order to have a son. She did not doubt Su Man's words and said casually, "After all, she is married to someone else's daughter-in-law and is pregnant with someone else's child. If the in-laws say so, she has to abuse her."
Su Man frowned at such foolish words, as if she understood why Widow Zhou had cut off contact with her. However, for Chen Susu's safety, she had to endure it and said, "That's what I said, but Chen Susu and I hit it off right away. She's already having trouble eating or sleeping because of this. Besides, she's already quite pregnant. Forcing an abortion will only harm her body. I'm really worried she won't make it."
Mrs. Zhou understood something from Su Man's words. "What do you mean?"

She had a plan in mind and said, "As the saying goes, saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. You almost died by eating a date. I don't know if it was because of the Tai Sui. But God is merciful, and you have survived a great disaster. If you don't save me now, I'm afraid..."
Mrs. Zhou was frightened. "Oh, you little girl, you have no way of keeping your mouth shut. What are you talking about? Life and death. God bless you."
She turned around and bowed several times to the portrait of the Bodhisattva, chanting with lingering fear, "Amitabha."
Seeing this, Su Man raised the corners of her lips.
