Sheng An Ning felt very strange when she heard Leng Jie say that Old Madam Lu was feeling dizzy and uncomfortable. She was able to eat and sleep well and rested well. Her wounds had healed well and her discharge indicators were all normal. So why did she feel dizzy after returning?
But she still had to go and take a look because of her duty.
When following Leng Jie upstairs, Sheng An Ning asked her: "Did your mother-in-law have dinner tonight? Did she get some fresh air?"
Leng Jie was in a bad mood at the moment and replied indifferently, "I don't know."
Seeing her like this, Sheng An Ning knew that they had quarreled again at night, but this time the noise was small and they didn't hear it downstairs.
When they entered the house, Lu Chaoran had already helped Mrs. Lu lie on the sofa. He was squatting on the floor feeding her water. The old lady closed her eyes and kept groaning, mumbling non-stop.
When Lu Chaoran saw Sheng Anning, he quickly stood up and said, "Doctor Sheng, please take a look at my mother. What happened?"
In fact, after Leng Jie left, he had already guessed that his mother was pretending just to get him and Leng Jie to agree to have a baby.
Sheng An Ning went over, measured Mrs. Lu's blood pressure, and touched her forehead to make sure there was no problem at all. She didn't cooperate with her: "Everything is fine. If you feel dizzy, it may be a psychological problem. It will be fine after a while."
Mrs. Lu cried even louder. She was very dissatisfied when she heard Sheng An Ning say that. "Aren't you irresponsible for saying that? I'm in so much pain here, and you're saying that I have a psychological problem. Does that mean I have to die of pain?"
After saying that, he added: "I think your medical skills are not good enough."
Sheng An Ning was not annoyed, and said calmly: "If you are still in so much pain tomorrow, you can only go to the hospital to open your head again to make sure whether the wound inside has healed and whether it is inflamed. Otherwise, it shouldn't be like this."
Then he ignored her and looked at Lu Chaoran: "If you still have a headache tomorrow, take you to the hospital. You should have a good rest tonight."
After saying that, he walked out.
Lu Chaoran was quite embarrassed. He politely sent Sheng Anning to the door. After watching her go downstairs, he turned back to the house and moved a small stool to sit down opposite Mrs. Lu: "Mom, if you are not feeling well, we will go to the hospital. If you pretend to be sick, won't it make me worried? I am already very tired from work every day. If you keep going like this, I won't be able to do my job. I might as well apply to go home with you."
When Mrs. Lu heard this, she quickly got up. How could she let her son go home? Lu Chaoran worked here, and that was her pride.
If Lu Chaoran didn’t work in such an organization, would the village have taken such good care of her?
It made her stand up straight and her words carried weight in the village.
"Look at what you are talking about. Why are you going back? Wouldn't it bring shame to our Lu family if you go back? How can we face our ancestors after we die? Son, I just want a grandson. Is that too much? I didn't even ask you to divorce and find another one."
Leng Jie listened from the side, her face changed, and she went straight back to the bedroom and slammed the door.
Lu Chaoran felt even more overwhelmed. He tried to coax one side, but the other side was making a fuss. In the end, he failed to coax either side.
Old Madam Lu didn't mind Leng Jie's attitude: "Look at your wife, how does she treat me every day? The previous child was miscarried, can you blame me? It was because she was not in good health and couldn't keep the fetus. When I was eight months pregnant with you, I went to the river to scoop sand in the middle of winter. The water was so icy that my calves cramped when I got ashore."
"Look, you are fine, and you weighed seven pounds when you were born. I know she is a city girl and is delicate, but that doesn't mean she can't have children. I said I have a way, can I still hurt you? If my way doesn't work, then forget it. You haven't even tried it, how do you know it won't work?"
"Chao'er, you are my only son. Your sisters are all married. I have been a widow for so many years. I just hope that you can be successful and leave a child for our Lu family. Is my request too much?"
"You know how I've been living these years. I just want our Lu family to have a successor."
Old Mrs. Lu changed her previous unreasonable attitude and took her son to talk about reminiscing.
Lu Chaoran was originally a filial person, even a little foolishly filial. After listening to his mother crying, he felt very uncomfortable and felt that he was really sorry for his mother for not having a child.
Seeing her son's red eyes, Mrs. Lu wiped her tears with her hand and said, "If you really don't want a child, then send me back when I get better. I know I'm in the way here, but I'm doing this for your own good. I just want someone to take care of you when you're old."
Lu Chaoran was silent for a long time: "Can you really get pregnant?"
Seeing that Lu Chaoran was obviously moved, Mrs. Lu quickly assured him: "Just trust me this time. As long as you have sex at the time I said and put the baby's clothes under your pillow, it will work."
When Lu Chaoran heard that he had to put children's clothes in there, he resisted in his heart: "Wouldn't this be bad for other people's children?"
Although Lu Chaoran doesn't believe in supernatural powers, he still has to be careful when it comes to other people's children.
Mrs. Lu assured with a solemn oath: "How could that be? It definitely won't happen. It's just like the reason why children wear clothes from many different families. This is to give birth to a healthy child. You see, there are so many healthy children downstairs, and the little babies are all good-looking. We can borrow their clothes for a few days. Then we can return them, right?"
Lu Chaoran was silent, a little shaken. If it doesn't hurt others, it should be okay, right? But I have to discuss this with Leng Jie.
Mrs. Lu patted her son on the shoulder and said, "You are a man, the head of the family. Look at our village. How many families are ruled by women? Aren't they all ruled by men? How come you are still so cowardly after getting married? If the villagers knew about this, they would definitely laugh at you."
After saying that, he sighed and said, "If your father knew that you lived like this, he would never have peace in hell."
Lu Chaoran had no choice but to bite the bullet and go back to the bedroom to persuade Leng Jie.
After hearing this, Leng Jie refused without a second thought: "I just don't want a child, and I don't want your mother's dirty tricks either."
Lu Chaoran thought about his mother's difficulties and reasoned with Leng Jie: "It was not easy for my mother to raise me. She suffered a lot. She would be very sorry if we didn't have children. Let's try once. My mother also said that it's just this once. If we still don't have children, she will accept her fate."
"Leng Jie, I beg you. I'm in a difficult position, but I really want to spend my whole life with you. If my mother doesn't give up, she will keep making trouble."
Leng Jie pursed her lips and said nothing, but she was struggling and tangled in her heart.
No matter what, she had never thought about divorce. If she could live a peaceful life because of her concession, it would be fine...
