"As long as your future brother-in-law is fine, your body is absolutely capable. The medicine I gave you is no joke."
Xie Mingzhu's tears turned into laughter.
She held Shuying's hand, unsure of what to say.
“Yingying, I really feel like you are my lucky star. Ever since I met you on the train, it seems like all the good luck has come my way. Not only did I successfully get a divorce, but I also found my biological parents. Now you are telling me that I can become a mother again. Yingying, you must be the one sent by God to save me!”
When she first arrived in the capital, Shu Ying would always add some medicinal herbs to her water. At the time, she thought it was a waste, since her injuries were just superficial and would heal sooner or later. Using those medicines was really not worth it. Only now has she finally understood Shu Ying's good intentions.
It turns out that she had been making practical plans for her health all along.
"No wonder my periods have been much more regular lately. The past two months, I had severe cramps during my period, but last month I barely felt anything, and my hands and feet were warm. Before, my limbs would be freezing cold in winter. Yingying, you've done so much for me in secret. How can I possibly thank you enough?"
As she spoke, her eyes began to redden.
She originally thought that those days in the mountains would last her forever, but Shu Ying was like a ray of light that broke through the darkness and pulled her out of the abyss.
Even now, Xie Mingzhu still often wonders what she would be like now if she hadn't met Shu Ying on the train.
Unfortunately, life doesn't offer "what ifs." She was always grateful for Shu Ying's appearance, and it was from that moment that she truly believed that there really are benefactors in life.
On countless nights, she thanked herself for making the courageous decision to escape the mountains, but her gratitude towards Shuying was even deeper.
Shu Ying placed the washed fruit on the coffee table and casually handed an apple to Xie Mingzhu.
“Sister, you’re always so polite to me. We’re family now, and you’re always like this. It makes me feel a little awkward. People should treat each other with empathy. I know that you do many things for me, so I’m willing to go through fire and water for you. When I do those things, I just hope that a girl can escape the fire. I’m honored to be able to help you.”
As she spoke, she sat down on the sofa with one hand on her arm. Her lower abdomen had been aching slightly for the past two days. Ever since giving birth, she had experienced noticeable pain in her lower abdomen two days before her period every month. Shu Ying had tried to regulate it, but the effect was not very obvious. In addition, the pain was tolerable, so she didn't bother with it much.
Seeing that her complexion was a little off, Xie Mingzhu remembered that Shu Ying had been looking listless lately, so she quickly went to help her up.
"Yingying, have you noticed that you seem to have lost interest in everything lately? Are you feeling unwell? The weather has been so hot these past few days, could it be heatstroke? Maybe we should go to the hospital to get it checked out."
Shu Ying waved her hand, not taking it too seriously, but she did start to worry about her own body.
Her period was supposed to start in the last few days, but today it's almost a week late. She's usually in good health and her periods are always regular. Plus, she's been taking Lingquan Water both internally and externally every day recently, so her period shouldn't be irregular for no reason.
Her eyelids twitched uncontrollably. Could she really be that unlucky?
