Chapter 85 This Tumultuous Day
The mother and son looked just like any other family member, but what they said made the female doctor frown deeply.
What kind of family member is this?
They kept talking about their sons and grandsons who were still nowhere to be seen, and not a single one of them cared about the pregnant woman's health.
The doctor, who was also a woman, felt sorry for the pregnant woman and said in a rather harsh tone, "The baby is saved, but the pregnant woman is very weak and needs to rest for a long time. Please don't let her suffer any more shocks."
Upon hearing this, the mother and son opposite clearly breathed a huge sigh of relief. Thank goodness!
The baby is safe!
The relationship with the Wu family has been maintained!
"Oh my! This is truly a blessing from God!"
Aunt Yan burst into tears of joy, but suddenly covered her mouth, saying, "You can't say that nowadays! Oh, spit it out! I was just talking nonsense. What do you mean by God's blessing? It's clearly the leaders who are blessing us, haha!"
"I knew it, I knew it! My grandson is a lucky man!"
As for physical weakness, they didn't care at all.
If you're feeling weak, just take some tonics and you'll be fine.
If it can't be fixed, then we'll talk about it again.
The important thing is the baby in my belly.
A smile appeared on Qin Ziwen's previously gloomy face.
Seeing this, Aunt Yan urged, "That's great, that's great! Third brother, why don't you go and check on Meifang and my grandson?"
The doctor frowned. "The sex of the fetus in the pregnant woman's womb is unknown, and it may not necessarily be a boy."
Aunt Yan's smile faltered for a moment, "My daughter-in-law is definitely carrying a grandson!"
That doctor really doesn't know how to talk. Isn't he cursing them to have a girl?
The doctor patiently explained again, "Ma'am, with our current methods we can't tell whether a pregnant woman is carrying a boy or a girl. It's the same whether it's a boy or a girl. Daughters are just as filial to their parents. We can't discriminate against girls."
The doctor said this because he was worried that the couple might be convinced that the pregnant woman was carrying a boy, and if a girl was born, they might take their anger out on the child, which would be bad for her. So, he was giving them a heads-up in advance.
But her repeated emphasis made Aunt Yan's heart skip a beat.
Yes, the baby in Wu Meifang's belly may not necessarily be a boy; it's just her wishful thinking that it's a grandson.
But what if it really is a girl?
What if?
The more Aunt Yan thought about it, the more convinced she became that the doctor must have known the baby's gender and was hinting at it to them.
It must be like this, it must be like this!
Thinking about this, Aunt Yan couldn't breathe properly.
Her grandson!
That grandson who could connect the Wu family and the Qin family, the grandson who could inherit the Wu family's property, is gone!
Aunt Yan's vision went black.
Experiencing extreme joy and sorrow in a single day, with her emotions fluctuating wildly, Aunt Yan finally couldn't bear it any longer. She cried out, "My grandson!" and then fell straight backward.
Qin Ziwen quickly caught the person and shouted anxiously, "Mom, Mom, what's wrong? Don't scare me!"
The female doctor was dumbfounded and stammered nervously, "How...how did she faint? I didn't say anything to upset her."
Qin Ziwen didn't know why his mother suddenly fainted, and he was very annoyed.
"Doctor, please come quickly, what's wrong with my mother?"
Fortunately, the doctor only hesitated for a moment before remembering his professional instincts and immediately stepped forward to provide first aid.
Before long, Aunt Yan slowly woke up.
The female doctor breathed a sigh of relief. "Auntie, please don't get so anxious and upset."
After saying that, the doctor quickly left, afraid that the old lady would try to pin something on him later.
Grandma Yan woke up, but the joy of saving her grandson was gone.
Instead, all he could think about was what if Wu Meifang gave birth to a daughter.
Would the Wu family still give any property to a mere girl?
She then remembered the doctor saying that Wu Meifang was physically weak.
Wu Meifang's body is so weak; she's been to the hospital several times every time she gets pregnant. I don't know if she'll ever be lucky enough to get pregnant again.
What about her third child?
Aunt Yan was very worried.
She looked at her favorite youngest son with heartache, "Son, what will become of you in the future!"
Qin Ziwen: "..."
His wife, Wen, was completely baffled and confused.
But Aunt Yan didn't continue speaking. She just kept looking at me with eyes that held a mixture of heartache, confusion, and guilt.
Qin Ziwen: "..."
Qin Ziwen suspected that his mother might have some serious illness that she was hiding from him.
After a moment, he tentatively asked, "Mom, is there anything else that's bothering you?"
Aunt Yan said weakly, "I'm not feeling unwell..."
She opened her mouth, intending to ask, "What if your wife can't give birth to a son?"
What will you do if you don't have a son to carry on the family line?
But then she felt that these words were too hurtful to her son.
Suddenly I remembered that a distant relative of one of my old friends had supposedly obtained a "rotation pill" from some master, and after taking it, he had a big, fat grandson.
Aunt Yan's eyes flickered, and she changed the subject, taking Qin Ziwen's hand and saying earnestly, "Son, you must never let your wife suffer any more shocks in the future. This child in her belly is your first child, so you must take it very seriously."
Qin Ziwen didn't understand what she meant, but he nodded anyway, "Mom, don't worry, I understand."
This is his bargaining chip to get close to the Wu family, how could he not value it?
The mother and son composed themselves before visiting Wu Meifang in the hospital ward.
...
Over here, in the machine factory.
Qin Jianguo, the eldest son of the Qin family, is a fitter in the factory. At a young age, he is already a fourth-level worker and earns a salary of more than fifty yuan. Among the employees who joined the factory at the same time as him, he is considered quite outstanding.
Of course, his father, Qin Weimin, also played a crucial role in this.
Qin Jianguo has had a smooth and successful life these past few years, living a very comfortable life.
The only thing that's not going well is that ever since Qin Ziwen married Wu Meifang, the house has been constantly noisy and argumentative, which is very annoying.
Qin Jianguo hasn't liked going home lately.
As soon as I get home, all I hear are these old women arguing; it's so annoying.
Qin Jianguo's eyelids kept twitching while he was at work today, and he had a feeling that something was about to happen.
He was constantly worried and uneasy, fearing that something might happen.
When Qin Jianguo suddenly heard his coworker say that his wife was looking for him outside, his heart skipped a beat and his face changed.
Why is his wife not at work at this time? Why is she coming to the machine factory to find him?
Could something really have happened at home?
Qin Jianguo dropped his tools and rushed out.
Sun Hongmei stood with her son at the factory gate, her hair and clothes disheveled, looking flustered, as if she had just been in a fight.
When Qin Jianguo came out, he angrily shouted, "Damn it, who bullied you and your mother?"
"Jianguo, you have to help our Junzi..." Sun Hongmei said anxiously, her eyes red, as she grabbed Qin Jianguo's hand.
Qin Jianguo gritted his teeth, "What's going on?"
That son of a bitch dared to bully his son and daughter-in-law; he'll beat him to a pulp!
But after Sun Hongmei finished telling the story in fits and starts, Qin Jianguo almost bit his tongue.
"W-what?! Junzi knocked down Lao San's wife?"
"There's even bleeding?!"
"How is your wife? What about the baby in her belly? Did she survive?"
Sun Hongmei shook her head. She hadn't gone to the hospital, so how would she know about Wu Meifang's condition?
Qin Jianguo, who had just vowed to avenge his son and daughter-in-law, was now pacing anxiously, constantly complaining about Sun Hongmei.
"Oh dear, how could you all be so foolish?"
"You know how much your third brother and your parents value this child, so why do you want to provoke her?"
"That's bad, now the third brother probably has a grudge against us!"
Although Sun Hongmei was scared, she was still defiant and stubborn when her husband complained about her. "If she hadn't hit Junzi first, would I have been able to scold her? If she hadn't hit me first, would Junzi have dared to bump into her?"
"In the end, it's all Wu Meifang's fault. She started all this trouble, and now that she's in trouble, it's all my fault. What kind of logic is that!"
"Qin Laosan knows how to protect his wife, but you only know how to complain about me!"
As she spoke, Sun Hongmei's eyes reddened again, and she silently shed tears.
She felt that she was unlucky and that her in-laws were all on Wu Meifang's side, bullying her.
Qin Jianguo and Sun Hongmei had been married for so many years, and they still had feelings for each other. Seeing her cry made him feel bad.
She softened her voice and said, "Alright, alright, there are people coming and going here, stop crying."
After a pause, Qin Jianguo said, "I'll ask for leave and take you and Junzi back to your parents' home for a while."
Sun Hongmei was stunned, then her eyes reddened again, and she asked incredulously in a trembling voice, "You...you're going to send me back to my parents' home? You don't even want Junzi anymore? You heartless bastard, how could you do this to me!"
Sending a married daughter back to her parents' home to live with them for an extended period is not a respectable thing at this time. Often, this behavior means that the man no longer wants the woman and wants to divorce her.
Therefore, Sun Hongmei subconsciously assumed that Qin Jianguo wanted to divorce her.
Qin Jianguo: "..."
This stupid wife almost made him laugh out loud.
Qin Jianguo glared at the person and said irritably, "What are you thinking? Even if I don't want you, can't I not want our son? You two should stay away for a while, and we'll bring you and your son back when things calm down."
So that's how it is!
Sun Hongmei instantly burst into laughter through her tears. "That's right, even if you don't want me, you can't abandon Junzi. He's your own son..." As she spoke, Sun Hongmei realized something was amiss. Wait, what did she mean by saying she wouldn't abandon her son even if she didn't want him?
Sun Hongmei glared at him, "Qin Jianguo, what do you mean?! You still want to get rid of me?"
Qin Jianguo: "..."
Is that what he meant?
Qin Jianguo didn't want to get entangled with this stupid woman any longer, so he said, "Wait a minute, I'll go ask for leave right away."
Qin Jiaguo sent his wife and son back to his father-in-law's house, then rushed to the hospital to apologize to Qin Ziwen, hoping to smooth things over.
It's impossible for Qin Jianguo not to harbor some resentment towards the third son and his wife.
When Qin Jianguo heard that Wu Meifang forbade her son from eating meat and beat her wife and son, he felt a surge of anger. Otherwise, he wouldn't have made the decision to send his wife and son back to her parents' home.
Just like Sun Hongmei said, he also earned a share of the family's money, so why shouldn't his son be allowed to eat meat?
Qin Jianguo not only complained about Wu Meifang, but also about his younger brother and parents. If they hadn't pampered and supported her, would Wu Meifang, a woman, have been so arrogant in their family?
...
Aunt Yan and her son Qin Ziwen stayed in the ward for quite a while before Wu Meifang slowly woke up.
She remembers that her stomach hurt a lot before she fainted, and she seemed to have lost a lot of blood.
Wu Meifang's already pale face turned deathly white, and tears streamed down her face.
"Brother Ziwen, is my child... is it..." She couldn't finish her sentence, sobbing out, "Waaah!"
Qin Ziwen and Aunt Yan quickly comforted her, "The baby is still here, still here, Meifang, please don't cry. The doctor said you can't handle any stress."
"Oh dear, that's right, Meifang. You can't cry now. You need to take good care of yourself and the baby."
Aunt Yan's eyes flickered, and she said considerately, "Meifang, just tell me what you want to eat, and I'll make it for you. Your mother-in-law is quite busy with work, so let's not trouble her this time. I'll take care of you."
"Mom, you're so kind! I really can't tell my mom about this, so she won't worry about it again."
Wu Meifang thought her mother-in-law was her own mother who was considerate, and she felt extremely warm inside. She thought her mother-in-law was the most understanding mother-in-law in the world.
She made her request without hesitation, "I want to eat minced meat porridge for lunch, Mom, you need to go back and cook it quickly, otherwise it will be too late."
Aunt Yan's smile faltered for a moment, then quickly returned to normal. "Okay, I'll go to the supply and marketing cooperative right away to buy some meat to make porridge. I'll also pick up some clothes to change into."
After giving Qin Ziwen some instructions, Aunt Yan set off on her own two legs to buy meat at the supply and marketing cooperative.
He muttered curses under his breath as he walked.
She thought she was speaking very softly, but people on the street could hear her clearly.
So passersby saw an older woman hurrying along with a ferocious expression, cursing angrily. She would say things like "little bitch," "useless thing," "a glutton reincarnated," "incredibly lazy," and "stupid to death."
Everyone glanced at her in surprise, then quickly moved eight feet away from her.
Good heavens, there's a lunatic here!
They don't know if they might suddenly attack and hurt someone, so they'd better stay away!
Aunt Yan: "..."
It was quite a coincidence. I don't know if the hospital didn't have enough wards or what, but they put Wu Meifang, a pregnant woman, and Ren Yongsheng, a urology patient, in the same ward.
Moreover, their hospital beds were not far apart.
Ren Yongsheng's injury was also quite serious. Although the doctor applied medicine, the area still hurts a lot.
He had been pampered and doted on by Guan Ailian and Ren Wenhua since childhood, and had never suffered like this before. He groaned in pain on the bed.
Although Wu Meifang managed to save the baby, she had suffered a miscarriage and lost a lot of blood, leaving her very weak.
After Aunt Yan left, Qin Ziwen went to pay the medical bills. Wu Meifang felt extremely tired and wanted to close her eyes and rest for a while.
But Ren Yongsheng kept whining and grumbling, which annoyed her greatly.
After being kept awake by the humming noise once again, Wu Meifang said impatiently, "It's so annoying! Can you please stop making noise? The hospital is a public place, not your home. Can't you have some manners and public spirit?"
Ren Yongsheng was already in a bad mood because he was hurt by a woman, and when Wu Meifang came along, he was very rude to her.
"You're not the only one staying in this ward, why can't I make a noise?"
"I'm going to argue, I'm going to argue, so what? You stupid woman, do you think everyone has to fawn over you? Who do you think you are?"
Wu Meifang flew into a rage, "You damned eunuch, who are you calling a ghost?!"
"Don't hit someone in the face, don't insult someone by revealing their shortcomings"—Wu Meifang's words really hit Ren Yongsheng where it hurt.
Didn't he worry all day about whether he would become a eunuch?
This is a direct slap in his face.
Ren Yongsheng was so angry that his face turned red and his neck bulged. He cursed loudly, "Pah! I'm talking about you! You slut, you whore who slept with Qin Ziwen before the marriage!"
The words "broken shoe" stung Wu Meifang like needles.
She could almost picture herself being paraded through the streets with two worn-out shoes hanging around her neck, being looked at with disdain and spat at by everyone.
Wu Meifang yelled, "Ah! You're the slut, your whole family are sluts! You damned eunuch, if you keep spouting nonsense, I'll have my brother beat you to death!"
Wu Meifang suddenly felt a heat below her body. She looked down and saw a patch of blood.
"ah!"
Wu Meifang was so frightened that her eyes rolled back and she fainted again.
Aunt Yan's heart was about to stop. She screamed, "Doctor! Doctor! My daughter-in-law is bleeding again! Please come quickly!"
Qin Jianguo, who had just arrived at the hospital and breathed a sigh of relief upon learning that Wu Meifang's child had been saved, was now on edge again.
What is that?
Didn't I hear that everything is alright now?
Why is there bleeding again?
Oh my god, is this child really gone?
