After falling out with her third aunt's family, Su Man and Chen Susu could no longer meet, but Su Man was not worried because she had already discussed with Chen Susu that they would proceed to the next step of the plan on the third day after Li Fuan was discharged from the hospital.
When the three days were up, Su Man went to Mrs. Zhou's house with some white wine.
As soon as she entered the room, she saw Mrs. Zhou worshiping the portrait of the Bodhisattva hanging in the room, muttering something to herself. Su Man couldn't hear clearly, only the last sentence, "Buddha bless you."
Mrs. Zhou turned around and was startled when she saw Su Man. "Hey, when did you come? Why do you look like a ghost?"
Su Man smiled and put down the wine in her hand, "I came to see you."
"What are you looking at me for? I'm still looking for you."
Old Mrs. Zhou was about to say something when her attention was suddenly drawn to the wine barrel in Su Man's hand. She turned it open and smelled it. Her appetite was immediately aroused. Without bothering to speak, she scooped out a little and poured it into her mouth.
She smacked her lips and made a "ha" sound. "Not bad, not bad. Better than the one brewed by my daughter-in-law."
After she put the wine away, she finally found time to talk to Su Man. "By the way, have you heard about the boy from Li Lao San's family? I ran into his wife yesterday. She cried and talked for a long time, saying that it was a good thing that God had mercy on his family and left him with descendants."
Old Madam Zhou slapped her thigh and said, "How can there be a baby? I took the girl's pulse and it's definitely a baby girl!"
Su Man smiled, "Girl is also a queen, it's just a thought."
"How can it be the same? You really are! If she finds out, I don't know how she'll make a scene."
"well."
Su Man suddenly sighed, "Don't talk about the boy, it's good enough to give birth to a girl now."
"What's going on?" Old Mrs. Zhou was curious. "Could it be that his daughter-in-law thinks her husband is no longer viable and wants to abort him?"
"That's not the case. It's just that Susu has been upset ever since Li Fuan got into trouble. She's been having redness for three days now."
"What? That means miscarriage!"
"Who says it's not true? But Susu was afraid that her parents-in-law would be sad if they knew, so she kept it a secret."
"Oh, this bleeding is no small matter. If the child is really gone, then Mr. and Mrs. Li will be dead."
"Yes, but it's hard for me to say as an outsider. I hope she can keep the baby."
As the two were talking, someone from a distance yelled, "Mrs. Zhou! Are you home?"
"Mrs. Zhou!"
Old Mrs. Zhou frowned, "What the hell are you doing? Are you calling out to ghosts?"
Su Man's eyes flickered slightly. "From the tone of voice, I'm afraid there's something urgent. You should go out and take a look."
Mrs. Zhou nodded and said, "Okay, then please close the door for me when you go out."
"Why."
...
After Old Lady Zhou left, Su Man locked the door and followed her out slowly. She happened to see her third uncle running away with Old Lady Zhou.
He said something anxiously, then simply carried her on his back and ran away.
Seeing how anxious he is, it is likely that something has happened to Chen Susu.
This was also the reason why she came to see Old Lady Zhou today. She had just mentioned Chen Susu's menstruation intentionally or unintentionally, and coupled with Chen Susu's pretending to be sick, she would definitely have a preconceived notion that Chen Susu's condition was serious and would not be able to see that Chen Susu was pretending.
Sure enough, Su Man walked back home slowly. Not long after, Zhao Chunhua also came back. As soon as she entered the door, she pulled her aside to talk about gossip.
"Hey, Xiaoman, guess who I saw just now."
"Who is it?"
"Mrs. Zhou, his third uncle was carrying her home on his back. I thought Fu An was okay, so I went over to check, but I didn't expect Chen Susu to have a miscarriage."
"ah?"
Su Man looked "shocked", "No way?"
"Of course not. I heard from the neighbors that Chen Susu has been complaining of stomach pains for the past two days, and today she fainted. Then Mrs. Zhou took a look and said she was going to have a miscarriage."
Zhao Chunhua said this with a sigh, "If this child can't be saved, your Third Aunt will probably die with him."
Although her tone was somewhat sympathetic, it was mostly gloating. She pouted and said, "Really? I told her to be more kind. She took it out on us last time. What's the point of earning so much money when she can't even protect her own grandson?"
Su Man glanced at Zhao Chunhua. Although she knew her character, Third Aunt was close to her. She didn't expect that she could say such sarcastic words. It was a perfect example of what it meant to burn bridges after crossing them.
At the same time, it would not be an exaggeration to say that the sky was falling for Li Fuan's family.
Li Fuan, who had become a vegetable, was lying on the left side of the kang, while Chen Susu, who was showing signs of miscarriage, was lying on the right side.
The third aunt, who had cried herself to death, sat on a chair, and the third uncle, with his back hunched, could not take care of this or that, and slapped his forehead again and again.
"What a sin, what a sin..."
After an unknown amount of time, Third Aunt trembled and stood up from her chair. She said fiercely, "No matter what, I will protect this child for Fu'an."
Uncle San frowned, "How can we protect it? Didn't you hear what Old Madam Zhou said just now? She didn't even prescribe medicine for us."
Because Su Man had received a vaccination before, Mrs. Zhou was afraid that she would prescribe medicine without thinking and delay Chen Susu's treatment, so she simply said that she couldn't cure her and ran away.
Uncle San and Aunt San didn't know the whole story and thought that Chen Susu's condition was really so serious that no medicine could help. They were all heartbroken.
Uncle San has already accepted this reality, but Aunt San refused to accept it. She wiped the snot and tears on her face and said, "If she can't cure it, we'll go to town. If she can't cure it in town, we'll go to the city."
"In the city? You, you, you, are you crazy?"
Uncle San was furious, "You forgot that Chen Susu is..."
He glanced at Chen Susu lying on the kang and said in a low voice, "You've forgotten how she came here! If we send her to the city, not only will the child be in trouble, but we will all suffer as well."
"It's a disaster!"
Auntie Three gritted her teeth and said, "There's no hope for Fu'an. This child must stay no matter what."
"you..."
Uncle San was silent. Of course he wanted to keep the child. He was unable to have children at his age. Now Li Fuan's life or death was unknown. If Chen Susu's child was gone, his family would have no descendants.
Thinking of this, his tone softened a little, "What if she runs away?"
"No, she went to town before and failed. At worst, we can just say she's mentally ill and tie her hands and feet. Or we can ask Old Madam Zhou for some medicine to make her mute."
"What about Fuan?"
"Fu'an..."
Auntie San's eyes turned red again when she saw Li Fuan lying there. "Old Zhao's family has a good relationship with me. Ask his daughter Xiaofeng to come over and look after us. Give her some benefits. She'll be happy."
"Okay, then I'll go talk to his fourth uncle and ask him to come with us. It's easier to make mistakes with more people."
"Then let's split up. You go find his fourth uncle, and I'll go find Old Madam Zhou to ask for medicine."
"Why."
“…”
While the two were discussing, Chen Susu, who was dozing on the kang, clutched the quilt tightly.
