Upon hearing this, the eyes of the people in the ward all turned strange.
Su Wantang was alarmed.
Isn't this for my cousin's wife?
Who is it for?
The thought of something elusive flashed through my mind.
Before she could think it through, she saw out of the corner of her eye that Li Jia got off the bed barefoot, rushed forward, grabbed Zhang Juan's shoulders with both hands, and shook her violently.
"You really did add something!"
"That's your own grandson!"
Lu Huaidong put his arm around Li Jia and said in a low voice, "Wife! Calm down!"
Seeing that Li Jia was restrained, Zhang Juan took the opportunity to shake off Li Jia's arm, raised her hand, and slapped Li Jia.
"You jinx! You got rid of my grandson! And you still have the nerve to blame your mother-in-law?"
"Mom, please talk less."
Lu Huaidong turned his head and noticed the whistling palm wind coming towards him, his pupils shrinking sharply.
He was fast, but Su Wantang was even faster.
When the palm was less than ten centimeters from Li Jia's face, Su Wantang grabbed it and flipped her over, causing Zhang Juan to look pained.
"Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!"
"You capitalist slut! What business is it of yours if I'm disciplining my daughter-in-law? Let go of me right now!"
*Smack*
Li Jia slapped Zhang Juan across the face, her eyes flashing with malice.
"Try calling me 'bitch' again, and see what happens?"
Zhang Juan was stunned by the beating.
"You dare slap me? Just for that capitalist bastard—"
*Smack*
The crisp sound of a slap rang out again.
"I told you, don't shout!"
"If you dare shout, I dare slap you!"
Anger surged within me, burning my chest with a searing pain.
"Ahhh!"
Zhang Juan let out a scream, ignoring the fact that Su Wantang was holding her wrist, and lunged at Li Jia with her arms outstretched.
"You little wench! I'm going to tear your face apart!"
"Enough!"
Lu Huaidong roared and slapped away Zhang Juan's left hand that she was swinging.
Su Wantang also stopped at the same moment.
Due to inertia, Zhang Juan fell directly to the ground, her body sliding half a meter away.
Lu Huaidong glared at Su Wantang, but Su Wantang's expression remained unchanged.
"My hand is sore."
Zhang Juan's shrill roar drew Lu Huaidong's attention.
"Lu Huaidong! You unfilial son!"
"Mom, haven't you made enough of a scene?"
"I..." Zhang Juan pointed to herself, "Making a scene?"
"Hahaha!"
Zhang Juan seemed to have heard a joke; she laughed for a moment, then burst into tears.
"I carried you for ten months, cleaned your poop and pee, fed you and raised you... Lu Huaidong! You heartless monster! How could I have given birth to such a wicked beast!"
Lu Huaidong frowned: "Mom, why don't you tell me why you didn't let Li Jia eat that bag of hawthorn cake? Did you really put something in it? Or rather, who did you want to give that bag to?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Zhang Juan forgot about crying and her eyes showed a hint of panic.
She insisted, "There's nothing there!"
Seemingly realizing she was getting too emotional, Zhang Juan added, "It's all because of the plasters you gave your dad the other day. Your dad then asked me to buy some pastries that your wife likes, to let you know that we, the old folks, are thinking of you too."
“Your wife doesn’t really like hawthorn cake, so I just bought some.”
"Who knew your wife was so stupid? She didn't even know she was pregnant, and now she's caused the loss of my grandson. And you even bully your own mother along with her!"
"I might as well not live anymore!"
Su Wantang reacted quickly, seized the loophole, and steered the topic back on track.
"Why did you specifically tell my cousin's wife not to eat that bag of hawthorns?"
Just when she was about to get away with it, Su Wantang caught her out, and Zhang Juan glared at Su Wantang angrily.
"It fell on the ground and got dirty."
Li Jia suddenly realized that the crumbs did indeed look like they had been stepped on, which fit the disgusting things her mother-in-law did because she disliked her third aunt and the others.
but.
"You're talking nonsense!"
"Wan Tang said that something to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis was added to it!"
Zhang Juan's eyelids twitched, but she stubbornly denied it.
"Whether it's there or not, what you say doesn't count. My sister-in-law didn't finish that hawthorn cake; we'll take it to the doctor at the hospital to check, and then we'll know if there's anything wrong with it!"
"Don't look!" Zhang Juan shouted.
"So, you have it? Let me guess what it is?"
Su Wantang listed several common medicinal herbs that have the effect of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, but which may cause miscarriage if used improperly.
"Safflower? Motherwort? Curcuma zedoaria—"
Upon hearing the name 'Eshu', Zhang Juan's shoulders trembled even more violently than before.
In Zhang Juan's eyes, Su Wantang had no medical skills whatsoever. It was just that the old man favored the third son's family and allowed Wen Wanqing to fabricate stories to save face.
How proud and refined is Wen Wanqing?
She once introduced her niece from her maternal family to her nephew Lu Huai'an, but that woman Wen Wanqing spoke ill of her niece.
He was forced to marry a capitalist, and they pretended to be like mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in cahoots, but who knows how she tormented her daughter-in-law like a wicked mother-in-law in private.
And another thing, a capitalist's daughter is a miracle doctor? Are you kidding me?
so.
At this moment, when Su Wantang suddenly mentioned her name, Zhang Juan's pupils dilated, and she couldn't hide the shock on her face.
He blurted out, "How did you know?"
She had bloating and stomach pain, but didn't want to go to the hospital, so she went to the pharmacy to buy medicine. The pharmacy clerk recommended turmeric, a cheap herb, to her.
When he went back to brew the medicine, he happened to be seen by his second son's wife, Wang Xiu, who pointed at him and gave him a good scolding.
"You old hag! Even if you're unhappy that I married into Huaibei, you can't be so cruel as to buy me abortion pills because my period is late!"
"Miscarriage?" Zhang Juan was stunned. "You were pregnant?"
