When Xu Liqin opened her eyes again, she saw her sister Xu Lifang with tears on her face.
"Sister, your child is gone." Xu Lifang said this when she saw Xu Liqin wake up. After she finished speaking, the tears that Xu Lifang had held back flowed down again.
"Child..." Xu Liqin put one hand on her belly, her eyes a little dazed.
Before she fell into a coma, Xu Liqin already knew that her child was in danger. When she heard Xu Lifang's words, she felt more grief than shock.
"Sister, listen to me and live a good life with your brother-in-law! Don't worry about your parents. They are a bottomless pit. No matter how much you give them, they will never be satisfied. They won't stop until they break you and squeeze you dry. You have to stand up on your own. Your brother-in-law is a powerful man. Your parents dare not lay a hand on him." Xu Lifang persuaded Xu Liqin earnestly. In recent days, Xu Liqin's actions in the Xu family were so severe that even she couldn't stand it. I really don't know what those brainless parents of her family are thinking. It's rare for the eldest sister to go back to her parents' house to stay for a few days, but they order her around like a top, without even a moment of free time.
Xu Liqin was pregnant, not to mention that even a normal person would have been exhausted. Xu Lifang herself hadn't been as obedient to her parents in recent years as she used to be. Whenever the Xu Laolai couple went too far, Xu Lifang would hide in the hospital dormitory and not go home. Although Xu Laolai was domineering at home, he didn't dare run to the hospital to scold Xu Lifang.
Xu Lifang didn't understand what her elder sister was thinking. Erwang's problem was his own fault. After Xu Erwang was arrested, Xu Liqin acted as if she was atoning for her sins. She did whatever Xu Erwang told her to do, even though she was pregnant, she didn't care about her body at all.
"Little sister, your brother-in-law... he won't forgive me." Xu Liqin finally told Xu Lifang the truth: "That day, I asked your brother-in-law to take the blame for Erwang's crime. Your brother-in-law got angry and said he wanted to divorce me."
"Big sister?" Xu Lifang was stunned. These past few days, Xu Liqin had been staying at her parents' house, never mentioning returning to the Zhao family. Zhao Guohui, unusually, hadn't come to visit Xu Liqin either. Xu Lifang had assumed her big sister and brother-in-law were just having a minor spat, never expecting Xu Liqin to be so mindless and meddlesome. Wasn't this simply pushing Zhao Guohui away?
Letting her husband take the blame for her brother? I really don't know what's wrong with Xu Liqin's brain?
No matter how good Xu Lifang's temper was, she was almost pissed off by Xu Liqin.
"Little sister, Erwang was raised by me personally. He is so young and I don't want him to suffer..." For some reason, Xu Liqin especially wanted to find someone to talk to about her true feelings today.
"Sister, Erwang is a failure, and it's his own fault. There's nothing wrong with you loving Erwang, but you can't let your brother-in-law give up his freedom and reputation. Are you going to take the blame for Erwang? Sister, you're obstructing justice, and that's a crime, don't you know?" Xu Lifang's face flushed with anger. As an elder sister, she was a soft-hearted person. She was not wrong to love her younger siblings, and Zhao Guohui didn't owe the Xu family anything. Taking the blame for Erwang? Zhao Guohui's bright future and reputation would be ruined. Sister, you're really audacious.
"I, I know I was wrong, but...but things have come to this point. Guohui is angry and ignores me, and there's nothing I can do." Xu Liqin said in a daze, tears streaming down her eyes.
"Sister, it's not too late. You were just confused for a moment. If you tell your brother-in-law about your mistake, he will probably forgive you. Otherwise, he wouldn't have come to see you today. Doctor Huang said that if your brother-in-law had been ten minutes late in sending you to the hospital today, you would have lost too much blood and might not have been saved. For you, your brother-in-law gave you 600cc of blood."
"Did Guohui send me here?" Xu Liqin's eyes lit up. When she fainted from the stomachache, she felt something leak out of her stomach. The Xus weren't home at the time, and if it weren't for Zhao Guohui, she might have died on that bed in her parents' home.
"You had a miscarriage. You had heavy bleeding. My brother-in-law gave you a blood transfusion and left the hospital only after Dr. Huang said you were out of danger." Xu Lifang was curious: "Sister, how did you have a miscarriage?"
"The ground was slippery and I fell." Xu Liqin thought of Zhao Guohui still caring about her, and her heart was filled with sweetness and bitterness. She felt sorry for Guohui. She hadn't gotten pregnant in two years, and now that she finally got pregnant, she had lost it because of her own troubles.
"Sister, you should rest first! My brother-in-law has already paid the hospital bill, and he said he will come to the hospital to see you tomorrow." Xu Lifang comforted Xu Liqin, tucked the corner of the quilt for her, and then gently left the ward.
Xu Lifang is on duty today, so the nurses' station must be empty.
After Xu Lifang left, Xu Liqin stared blankly at the snow-white ceiling for a long time before closing her eyes and falling asleep exhausted.
At Zhao Guohui's home, Zhao Guohui was lying on the bed, also staring at the ceiling with his eyes wide open.
Zhao Guohui was very tired, but he couldn't sleep.
As soon as Zhao Guohui returned to Sanhe Town, he went to Xu's house to look for Xu Liqin. Seeing Xu Liqin's pale face and half of her body drooping on the edge of the bed, Zhao Guohui's heart ached.
The bloody smell in the room made Zhao Guohui realize that Xu Liqin might not be well. When Zhao Guohui rushed Xu Liqin to the hospital, her pants were almost soaked with blood. Even if Zhao Guohui was inexperienced, he could guess that the baby in Xu Liqin's belly was in danger.
After Dr. Huang performed a uterine curettage on Xu Liqin, he explained that she had lost too much blood and needed a transfusion. Today was New Year's Eve, and many departments in the hospital were closed for the holiday. Even if they hadn't been, a small hospital like Sanhe Town Hospital wouldn't have a blood bank. If blood was needed, they had to request plasma from Yuyuan County People's Hospital in advance.
Zhao Guohui has type O blood, and when he saw Xu Liqin needed it, he rolled up his sleeves and asked Dr. Huang to donate his blood to Xu Liqin without saying a word. Dr. Huang has been a doctor all his life, but this is the first time he has seen a man who cares so much about his wife like Zhao Guohui.
After the blood transfusion, Zhao Guohui dragged his tired body and waited until Dr. Huang announced that Xu Liqin was out of danger before leaving the hospital.
When Xu Liqin was sent to the hospital, many of Xu's neighbors saw her.
It was almost eleven o'clock in the evening when Zhao Guohui left the hospital. Neither Xu Laolai nor Xu's mother had shown up at the hospital for such a long time, which made Zhao Guohui feel distressed and also felt sad for Xu Liqin.
Outside the window, the sound of New Year's firecrackers continued, but Zhao Guohui's heart was very cold, and he didn't feel happy at all.
