"Oh, I see!" Su Nianxue nodded in understanding.
In the village, it's really hard for women to have a child.
Not to mention the attitude your in-laws will have towards you, the gossip from the villagers alone could drown you.
Especially for women like Taozi who are engaged in arranged marriages, if they don't have a child and their maternal family has no say, they will probably have an even harder time than most people.
The two chatted casually.
Soon, everything on the stall was sold out.
Gu Yanliu saw the two of them talking, greeted them, and left.
Su Nianxue knew she must have gone to buy popsicles again.
"Did they go to get the medicine?" Su Nianxue asked casually.
Peach is quite pitiful. She is also a woman, and women can best understand the situation of other women.
"I've gone."
I've been drinking the folk remedy for two days now.
His aunt was supposed to go back a couple of days ago.
Now that the crops in the fields are ripe, and my family has a lot to do, she wants to go back and help out.
"He wasn't feeling well, so his grandma let him stay for a couple more days," Wang Erya said in a low voice.
"Sister Peach, what's wrong?" Su Nianxue asked curiously. Didn't she see her working in the field just a few days ago?
"She's had her period these past few days!"
That guy was in so much pain, the beads of sweat were as big as soybeans.
They were practically rolling on the ground in terror; they scared us all to death.
His grandmother was worried and insisted that she stay a few more days, also wanting to see if the medicine was effective. Wang Erya looked lingeringly fearful as she spoke.
Over the years, because of the arranged marriage, Taozi has not been close to her family and does not come back often, so her family really did not know about it.
Upon hearing about Taozi's symptoms, Su Nianxue suddenly felt weak and her heart began to race with anxiety.
He sat down on the rock behind him, and only then did he feel better.
"She...she has a stomachache, what did the doctor say?"
"They say she jumped into the river in the dead of winter and her body got cold."
There's no other way now but to see a doctor and try.
Su Nianxue also knew about this. Taozi and Gu Yansong had a good relationship, and Aunt Yang forced her to change her marriage. In a fit of anger, she jumped into the river.
"Maybe she'll be able to give birth once her stomach pains subside!" Wang Erya suddenly said meaningfully, glancing at her lower abdomen.
"Er Ya, why...why are you looking at me like that?"
Wang Erya looked at her, a hint of hesitation in her eyes.
"Nianxue, I've had these words stuck in my mind for days, and I don't know if I should say them or not."
Seeing her serious expression, Su Nianxue also became a little nervous.
"Just tell me what's wrong. With our relationship, what can't we talk about?"
"I'm asking you, do you experience abdominal pain every time you have your period?" She thought for a moment, but finally asked.
Su Nianxue's expression turned somewhat unnatural. "Er Ya, how did you know?"
"Hey, I guessed!"
Weren't you feeling unwell the other day? You didn't even have time to sell your tofu.
I was passing by your house when I saw your menstrual belt drying in your yard.
"I already guessed a bit, so tell me, isn't that right?" Now that she had started talking, she stopped hiding her intentions and spoke frankly.
Su Nianxue nodded shyly.
Wang Erya laughed and said, "We're all women, what's there to be embarrassed about?"
I only remembered this matter a few days ago.
Nianxue, why don't you go see a doctor when you have some free time?
Su Nianxue paused in her work of packing up the stall. "Er Ya, what do you mean?"
"Hey, it doesn't mean anything else."
I just wanted to say that it's reassuring to go and see for yourself.
Besides, you've been having stomach aches since you came back, that's not a good thing.
She didn't finish her sentence, but the meaning was clear.
Su Nianxue's expression became somewhat unnatural.
Peach has the same symptoms as her; they've been married for so many years but still don't have a child.
Doesn't that mean she also...?
She remembered that night when the two of them were arguing and even talked about the child.
Gu Yanbai said that they should have at least two children.
She agreed at the time.
What if she can't have children...
She almost didn't dare to think about it anymore.
"Nianxue, what I said might not be accurate. You should find an opportunity to go to the hospital and see a doctor."
Seeing her somewhat absent-minded appearance, Wang Erya immediately regretted that she had probably spoken too much.
Su Nianxue felt heavy-hearted. Gu Yanbai had said a few days ago that he would take her to the hospital!
If this is really confirmed, what will we do?
"Sister-in-law, Er Ya, what are you whispering about behind my back?" Gu Yanliu walked back quickly with three popsicles in her hand.
"No, I didn't say anything!" Su Nianxue said listlessly, taking the popsicle from her hand.
Wang Erya was also somewhat absent-minded, only repeatedly saying, "Don't buy it for me next time."
Gu Yanliu felt that something was off about the atmosphere.
She joked, "What's wrong with you two? Did you have a fight?"
They both shook their heads.
"Let's go back!" Su Nianxue had already packed up the tofu stall and took the lead, daring to walk ahead.
After returning home, having dinner and washing up, Su Nianxue went to her room without a word.
The two siblings, Gu Yanbai and Gu Yanliu, were left looking at each other in bewilderment.
"What's wrong with your sister-in-law?" he asked, glancing at her retreating figure.
You should know that going to the market is her happiest day, because going to the market means she can earn money.
This is the first time I've made money and not been happy.
"I don't know either, she's been like this all day."
