Chapter 172 Miscarriage
…
Ji Hongxia missed the meeting because she arrived late, and was met by Li Manyu before leaving, feeling quite resentful. Ji Hongxia was not a person who could relieve her emotions, so she brought these emotions back home.
Seeing Ji Hongxia come back with a sullen face, Lu's mother felt unlucky and asked impatiently, "What's wrong with you? Who made you angry?"
Ji Hongxia heard that Lu's mother's tone was not very good, so she said, "I got to the office late, and everyone had left."
"Don't you know to get up early?" said Lu's mother.
Ji Hongxia murmured in grievance: "I used to sleep late at home and my mother would wake me up."
What I mean is that I don’t blame her for getting up late because there is no one at home to wake her up.
When Lu's mother heard this, she became furious: "You really take yourself too seriously. You want me to wake you up just to get out of bed? You think you are the ancestor and I have to serve you."
Mother Lu was already angry because her daughter-in-law didn't do housework or cook, and now she blamed herself for not waking her up, which made her even more angry.
Ji Hongxia didn't think there was anything wrong with her and argued with Lu's mother for a few words without giving in. Lu's mother was so angry that she almost fainted.
Lu's mother touched her forehead with one hand and held the table next to her with the other hand. Ji Hongxia thought that Lu's mother was pretending to be unwilling to give in and continued to scold. This scene happened to be seen by Lu Li who had just returned. Lu Li first stepped forward to support Lu's mother and let her sit down. Then he rushed towards Ji Hongxia, kicked her first and then slapped her several times.
Ji Hongxia was stunned and hit a chair beside her when she fell to the ground. When she came to her senses, she found something wrong: "Lü Li, my stomach hurts."
Lu Li didn't believe Ji Hongxia. She was used to being hurt. She had pretended before, but she just didn't want him to hit her again. "Don't pretend. You weren't like that when you scolded my mother just now."
Ji Hongxia was a little panicked: "No, Lu Li, I'm really in pain."
With a "bang", Lu Li's mother fainted behind him. At this time, Lu Li had no mind to listen to Ji Hongxia's words. Lu Li felt that Ji Hongxia was lying. Seeing Lu's mother fainted behind him, he hurriedly went to the next door to find someone to send Lu's mother to the hospital, and ignored Ji Hongxia.
Ji Hongxia had a stomachache and a dizzy head, then her face turned pale and she fainted. Not long after she fainted, a pool of blood gushed out from under her body. Lu Li's neighbor was not at home, so he knocked on several doors before someone came out, which delayed him for some time. Who knew that when he returned, he found two women fainted at home. It was not enough for him to call only one person when two people fainted.
It happened that Lu's father came home from get off work. When he saw the scene in his home, he almost fainted from anger and quickly sent the man to the hospital.
After a series of examinations, both of them were found to be in good health, but Ji Hongxia had a miscarriage. The doctor concluded that Lu's mother had indeed fainted from anger. Who else could it be but Ji Hongxia?
For a moment, Lu Li didn't know what emotion he should feel. He definitely disliked Ji Hongxia, but he didn't hate the child himself. However, he heard the news of miscarriage before he became a father, and he blamed Ji Hongxia in his heart.
Lu Li felt that Ji Hongxia was really useless. How could the child be saved after just one push?
Lu Li naturally knew that it was not as simple as just pushing it away, but he just wanted to push the responsibility onto someone he didn't like, so that he would feel less guilty.
Both Lu's mother and Ji Hongxia were in critical condition and were now sleeping in the same ward. Lu's mother woke up first and slowly opened her eyes. She was still a little dizzy. Lu Li noticed this and called a doctor to examine Lu's mother. The doctor told the family: "She is too old to withstand such anger. She may have a stroke next time."
Just as Lu's mother was about to stand up, she fainted again due to a dizzy spell. Lu Li was a little anxious and asked the doctor, "Doctor, why did my mother faint again?"
The doctor explained: "It's okay. It won't be like this when you wake up."
After hearing the doctor's explanation, the Lu family father and son felt relieved, and then Ji Hongxia woke up.
After Ji Hongxia opened her eyes and looked around, she saw Lu Li sitting beside her. She said in a hoarse voice, "Lu Li, what's wrong with me?"
Lu Li explained: "You fainted, with my mother, you are in the hospital now."
Ji Hongxia saw that Lu's mother was still unconscious in the bed next door, so she asked, "What's wrong with Mom?"
"I fainted because of you." Lu Li said this angrily: "The doctor said I can't get angry anymore, otherwise I will have a stroke."
Ji Hongxia felt a little aggrieved: "What about me? My stomach hurt so much just now."
Lu Li was a little panicked. She didn't know if Ji Hongxia had seen the blood under her body. She said uncertainly, "It's okay. I'm just too weak."
Ji Hongxia always believed everything Lu Li said, and she had no doubts at this time. Of course, Lu's mother and Ji Hongxia were not the only two people in this ward. The people who moved in first naturally heard what the doctor said. At this time, they also had some doubts in their hearts. She had obviously had a miscarriage, so why was it approved as okay?
Since it was none of their business, no one said anything. Some people thought that Lu Li concealed the news because he was worried that Ji Hongxia could not bear the blow, and some people felt a little sympathetic.
Lu Li felt a little guilty for telling a lie. After all, he had concealed such a big thing from Ji Hongxia. Naturally, he was afraid that Ji Hongxia would go home and complain to her father and mother. No matter what, she must not know about this.
Lu's mother woke up after a while. Lu Li did not dare to delay and left the hospital immediately. He had already cleaned the house in advance, and he would not see anything if he went back now. Since everyone was eating and had no time to pay attention to him, he left the hospital quickly.
It was already dark when they returned home. There were two patients at home who could not eat greasy food, so Father Lu cooked some light food for them to have dinner and then rest.
After returning to their room, Lu's father told his mother that Ji Hongxia had a miscarriage but she didn't know about it. After hearing this, Lu's mother felt a little regretful: "A good child is gone just like that. If I had known, I wouldn't have argued with her."
Father Lu comforted him, "It's not your fault. You didn't marry the right wife. She never smiles every day. It's really annoying to see her."
As a father-in-law, Mr. Lu shouldn't say such things about his daughter-in-law, but he has endured it for a long time. Every day, Mr. Lu has a gloomy face, as if someone in the family has died. Who would be happy seeing this?
Lu Li also took good care of Ji Hongxia. Ji Hongxia was a little confused, but she was relieved after a while. As long as Lu Li was nice to her, it was fine, no matter what the reason was.
The next day.
Lu Li did not tell Ji Hongxia that she had a miscarriage, so he did not ask for leave for her to rest. Ji Hongxia went to work before she was fully recovered.
