Chapter 124: Growth comes at a price



Gu Decheng breathed a sigh of relief, silently praying for Buddha's blessing in his heart.

Just now he was kneeling in the yard facing south and praying for a long time.

Now that his daughter-in-law is gone, he has to go to the temple to fulfill his vow on the first day of next month.

Wang Ying just opened her eyes and saw Lin Min still sitting there with her eyelids propped up. Her eyes moved a few times and she was embarrassed and didn't dare to look at Lin Min.

Wang Ying really didn't expect that Lin Min would be so dedicated and would stay with her late at night.

Not only Lin Min, her father-in-law and brother-in-law also seemed to be awake.

The whole family is busy.

At this moment, my heart was more or less moved.

In the past, no matter who in the family was sick, she never ran to say hello.

She had never even said a hypocritical word of concern to this family.

Lin Min pulled Wang Ying's wrist again and felt her pulse. She told Gu Jinghui, "Brother, take Wang Ying to the hospital tomorrow morning. After all, she is pregnant. You need to get a checkup.

Gu Jinghui nodded in agreement, "Okay."

"Pay attention to your diet in the future. Don't overeat, don't eat too much or too little, and don't eat unhygienic food."

Lin Min could probably guess how Wang Ying got the gastroenteritis.

Recently, I heard that Gu Jinghui's family cooked for the couple.

And then, it became like this!

Lin Min glanced at Gu Jinghui.

I am really speechless.

He was neither high nor low, and when he cooked a meal, he gave his wife acute gastroenteritis.

That couple really... leaves me speechless.

"Mom, I'm tired."

Lin Min packed her things and prepared to leave.

At this time, the wall clock showed that it was twelve twenty in the morning.

It was the middle of the night and they were still trying to go out, so Wang Guixiang pulled her aside and asked her to stay, "Xiao Min, just stay here. The snow is so thick outside and your room doesn't have a heated kang. You and Jingxiu can stay for one night and go out in the morning.

This is also their home. Even if they move out, there is no need to feel so unfamiliar with it.

Lin Min pulled her hand away, picked up her bag and was about to leave, "Mom, I'm worried about Jingchuan being home alone. Jingqi will be with me, and we'll be home soon."

"Or, you can stay here." Seeing Lin Min was about to go out, Wang Ying's eyes flashed slightly and he spoke awkwardly.

"No need. I'll leave first." Lin Min didn't even look at Wang Ying.

Gu Jinghui was worried about Wang Ying, "Sister-in-law, I hope your sister-in-law won't do it again."

"It shouldn't be. I'm applying medicine. Drink more salt water to replenish your energy."

Gu Jingqi took a flashlight and went home with Lin Min.

The temperature dropped sharply in the early morning. As soon as I went out, my face felt as painful as if it was being pricked by needles.

The two of them walked on the thick snow, and Gu Jingqi couldn't help complaining, "Second sister-in-law, you are really kind-hearted. Wang Ying treated you so well, and you still treated her in the middle of the night.

I don’t know if people will appreciate this snowy scene.”

She put her hands in the pockets of her cotton coat, glanced at Gu Jingqi, and said seriously, "Jingqi, as a qualified doctor, first of all, you can't mix too many personal emotions in front of the patient.

One thing you must remember.

Putting aside professional ethics, Wang Ying is a very annoying person. But she is your eldest brother's wife, your parents' daughter-in-law, and if she has something, the whole family will worry about her.

She is pregnant with my parents' grandson. If I wasn't afraid that the baby in her belly would be affected, I would definitely not treat her in the middle of the night. It's okay to let her feel the pain.

The monk looks at the Buddha’s face. ”

Gu Jingqi sighed, "Second sister-in-law, when can I be as clear-headed as you?"

"When you grow up and experience more, you will naturally understand more."

Lin Min looked at the faint shadow in the dark night ahead.

The eyes are deep.

Growth comes at a price.

She would rather be innocent like Gu Jingqi than live so transparently.

It was already one o'clock in the morning when they got home.

The lights in the yard were on, and the lights in the house were on too.

Gu Jingqi yawned and went straight into the house.

At this time, Gu Jingchuan had not slept yet.

He sat beside the stove and put coal into it. He opened the stove, which was sealed before, and the room became very hot.

Hearing the noise in the yard, his drooped eyes lit up slightly and he glanced sideways towards the door.

When he saw Lin Min come in, his tense expression relaxed.

"What took you so long? Are you frozen?"

Gu Jingchuan reached out and took her hand; it was cold.

"It's cold. The temperature is low at night and my face hurts from the cold."

Lin Min sat on the sofa next to Gu Jingchuan and warmed herself by the fire.

Gu Jingchuan asked, "Why is she like this?"

Lin Mindong's voice was trembling. "She had acute gastroenteritis. She might have eaten something bad. I had acupuncture and it temporarily relieved the pain. She was pregnant, so I didn't dare to treat her.

Let my elder brother take me to the hospital tomorrow."

Gu Jingchuan poured a cup of water from the kettle that had been boiling for a long time for Lin Min and handed it to her, "Drink some hot water."

Lin Min drank the hot water and warmed her hands before she felt her frozen body gradually warming up.

"Go to bed and go to sleep. It's already past one in the morning."

Gu Jingchuan hugged her and lay down on the warm kang.

When Lin Min and Gu Jingchuan woke up the next day, it was already noon.

Gu Jingqi got up early and went to school without disturbing them.

The snow has stopped. It is early winter and the temperature is not that low after all. The sun is out and the snow on the roof tiles is slowly beginning to melt. The snow water is flowing down the gutters, dripping.

Lin Min took a basin and a bucket and placed them under the eaves to collect the water.

Then start clearing the snow.

Gu Jingchuan accompanied her, leaning against the door frame with his crutches.

Every time Gu Jingchuan saw Lin Min working while he himself was unable to do anything, he felt suffocated.

The only thing he could do was to wait until she finished her work, then hand her a cup of hot water to warm her red, frozen little hands.

When Lin Min swept all the snow in the yard to the south corner and started throwing the snow into the garden with a shovel, Gu Jinghui and Wang Ying arrived.

Wang Ying had a rose-red headband and wore a cotton-padded jacket, leaving only her eyes exposed. Gu Jinghui also wore a military cotton-padded jacket that Gu Jingchuan had given him.

Seeing the couple wrapped up tightly, Lin Min stopped what he was doing and greeted them, "Brother, you are here?"

"Sister-in-law, let me do the snow sweeping." Gu Jinghui enthusiastically took the broom from Lin Min's hand.

Lin Min dodged the broom and didn't give it to him, "Brother, no need to help, I'll finish sweeping now, you guys can go into the house."

Wang Ying felt a little embarrassed and looked at Lin Min awkwardly without saying hello.

They got up in the morning and went to the health center to see a doctor. The doctor did an ultrasound and found that the baby was not born. She asked the doctor to prescribe some medicine to regulate her stomach. The doctor saw that she was pregnant and did not dare to give her medicine easily.

Prescribe medicine.

Gu Jinghui forced her to come over. First, he wanted to thank Lin Min and asked her to show it to Wang Ying again.

On the other hand, and most importantly, I wanted to see if Gu Jingchuan's legs were really as his parents said.
