319: Choosing a Wife

"Si Niang! Si Niang! You'll be fine, I'm here!"

After hearing Su Zhi's cry, Li Shi felt as if a thunderclap had gone off in his head, almost knocking him unconscious. However, his body involuntarily rushed towards Liu Siniang, picking her up as fast as he could.

Su Zhi asked Li Shi to carry Liu Si Niang into the house, and Aunt Lan immediately asked them to carry her to their house, which was the nearest place. They knew that they would have to ask a doctor to come in a while, so the closer the better.

Li Shi now followed every instruction and did whatever he was told to do. He put Liu Si Niang on the bed and held her hand tightly. He no longer had his usual calmness and composure.

Su Zhi asked someone to invite Doctor Huang and the midwife. Although she knew that she had the Lingquan Xianlian, she still invited the doctor and the midwife. She didn't want Liu Si Niang to have any accidents. This miscarriage was no different from being sick. If she was not careful, the fragile baby might disappear from this world. Su Zhi loved children so much that she didn't want to see such a scene happen.

After a moment of silence, the people present started talking noisily. Everyone gathered around, and after one wave of noise had not yet subsided, another wave arose. This time, the wave was even bigger!

No one expected that Liu Si Niang would have a miscarriage after the fall. To be more precise, no one expected that she would be pregnant. Liu Si Niang had been married to the Zhao family for nearly four years, and her belly had not moved. The Zhao family called her a hen that didn't lay eggs. Many people in the village also thought so. Even when she later married Li Shi, many people didn't change their minds. Most people thought that Liu Si Niang couldn't have children. And now, Liu Si Niang actually has a child! What does this mean? It means that Liu Si Niang can have children, and the Zhao family is talking nonsense!

The people in the village now feel so sympathetic towards Liu Si Niang. Just imagine how such a hardworking and kind-hearted woman was, marrying into the Zhao family and suffering hardships. The man who took good care of the whole family was not at home all year round, and was beaten and scolded, and was scolded like a hen that couldn't lay eggs. How much suffering must she have endured!

Now everyone has realized that Zhao Daliang is not at home all year round, and it is impossible for Liu Si Niang to have a child alone. But at that time they didn't think so at all, and they spread these rumors. They were all a little ashamed, and then this shame turned into disdain and ridicule for the Zhao family, thinking that the Zhao family was really not a good family.

"The Zhao family is such a scoundrel. They bullied Liu Si Niang because she had no family support. They either beat her or scolded her, and even said that she couldn't have children. Now they've been slapped in the face."

"That's right! She's pregnant now, but the newlywed isn't pregnant!"

"Isn't it about Zhao Daliang?"

"Maybe. If that's the case, it's really retribution!"

"This Fourth Lady is so pitiful. She had a conflict with the Zhao family and suffered in the Zhao family. She finally left the Zhao family and finally had a baby, but it was hit by someone from the Zhao family. She doesn't even know if she can keep the baby!"

"If this can't be saved, won't the stone overturn the Zhao family?"

"Even if the baby is saved, there will be a fuss. If it were me, I would make a fuss. I don't know if the baby will be weak after birth. This is the eldest son and daughter."

"Yes, yes, this is going to be exciting again."

The villagers outside were talking about it, worrying about Liu Siniang, and at the same time thinking that there would be another lively scene, but Liu Siniang was in danger of not being able to show her excitement to anyone else, and people close to Li Shi and Liu Siniang were still there, and the head of the village was there too!

A few of the women, including Sister Li and Sister Shugen, went into the house, but the rest did not because the house was not that big, and the men were all waiting outside.

Shen Zian had stopped Zhao Dazhu and his wife long ago. The couple wanted to run away but failed. Under Shen Zian's cold eyes, they entered Fuyuan obediently. They wanted to enter Fuyuan, but they didn't think of using this method. They wanted to run as fast as possible, but they knew it was useless to run. So many people saw that it was Dazhu's wife who hit Liu Si Niang, and she hit her so obviously at that time.

Doctor Huang and the midwife were brought in very quickly. They were all quite close to the room and entered the house as soon as they arrived.

Doctor Huang examined her and said that she had a miscarriage, but it was not serious and that she would be fine after taking some medicine to stabilize the pregnancy. She just had to be careful in the future, otherwise she would easily have another miscarriage. The midwife did not even have a chance to perform the delivery. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they heard the result.

Su Zhi had just left to get medicine. She ran back at this moment and was relieved to hear the news. She gave the medicine to Liu Si Niang, thinking that the child would be saved and there would be no miscarriage.

Liu Si Niang felt better after taking the medicine. She touched her belly with a look of joy on her face and said to Li Shi beside her: "Shi Tou, we are going to have a baby. I can give birth to a baby for you."

Li Shi nodded quickly. After the previous nervousness and fear, he finally felt relieved to see that his wife and child were fine. Then he was excited to be a father. Although everyone said that Liu Siniang could not have children, he never thought so. He always believed that he and Liu Siniang would have their own children. Now, this child is really here, but it makes him so scared. Fortunately, nothing happened. He was really surprised and happy. He thought that when this child is born, he must love him well.

"I told you long ago that we would have several children. Look, one is here so soon."

Li Shi held Liu Si Niang's hand and said.

Liu Si Niang nodded happily. She felt that her life was complete and everything that had happened in the past could be put to the past.

The people in the room looked at the couple being so sweet and all left.

When the people outside heard that Liu Si Niang was fine, they were all very happy.

"Well, since Liu Si Niang is fine, can we go now?"

Zhao Dazhu heard that Liu Si Niang was fine, he heaved a sigh of relief, thinking that she was finally fine. Otherwise, she would not only be beaten to death by Li Shi, but also have to pay a sum of money. Fortunately, God bless her. He immediately thought about leaving here.

Dazhu's wife also said immediately: "Yes, yes, can we leave now? I said it, it was just a fall, how could it be so easy to get a miscarriage? You are so delicate, no wonder you haven't had a child for so many years, so delicate..."

"Shut up!" Su Zhi looked at the couple and her usually gentle eyes were cold. She was really mad at them. After doing such a thing, they didn't want to take any responsibility at all and didn't even have the attitude of admitting their mistakes. That was a little life.

"It's a good thing that Si Niang is fine today. If she were, you would all be in trouble! You have to pay compensation and apologize to Si Niang for this incident! You should ask Brother Shitou and Si Niang about the outcome."

Sister Li and Sister Shugen all stood aside to blame them. The women looked down on them, and even the men started to criticize them this time. This matter of children, regardless of gender, is very important. Moreover, Li Shi and Liu Si Niang are very popular.

Zhao Dazhu and his wife knew that there was no way to resolve the matter peacefully this time.

The head of the village talked to Aunt Jinhua for a few words. Aunt Jinhua went into the house and asked Li Shi and Liu Siniang how to deal with Dazhu's wife. After all, she was wrong this time.

Liu Si Niang had always had a grudge against Da Zhu's wife. They used to be sisters-in-law, but Liu Si Niang was the one who was bullied. Now she finally left the Zhao family, but she was almost killed and lost her child. No matter how good her temper was, she couldn't help it at this time. If it wasn't for the baby in her belly, she really wanted to rush out and slap Da Zhu's wife a few times. Li Shi saw that Liu Si Niang was so angry, and hurriedly comforted her.

Li Shi asked Jinhua to stay with Liu Si Niang, and then he went out and asked Su Zhi to go talk to Liu Si Niang. Su Zhi turned and went in. Li Shi faced the Zhao couple, feeling very angry. He was almost going to lose his child. It was his first child, and he was already in his twenties. Others at his age would have children everywhere. He just wanted to have a child, but he almost lost it, and it was deliberately harmed by someone!

"W-What are you going to do?"

When Dazhu's wife saw Li Shi coming towards her, her face was so scary that she stepped back in fear, but Li Shi punched Zhao Dazhu in the face.

Zhao Dazhu was knocked to the ground, screaming in pain, blood flowing from the corner of his mouth, and two teeth sticking out.

"You are a woman, I can't hit you, I will hit your man!"

The village head hurried over to hold Li Shi, and said to him, "Shitou, they are wrong in this matter. Calm down and let them give you a gift to apologize. They paid for your wife's recovery. Don't beat them up again, or your wife will be in trouble. It's not worth it."

When Li Shi heard this, he thought that was the case and he didn't want to make Liu Si Niang worry.

The village head said to Zhao Dazhu, "Zhao Dazhu, Dazhu's wife, what do you think we should do about this matter?"

Dazhu's wife huddled aside. She was really frightened just now. Although she dared to fight and make trouble with others, she was really afraid to fight with people like Li Shi and Shen Zian, because such people would not tolerate her making trouble. They had too many ways to deal with her. Zhao Dazhu was crying there.

"Li Zheng, I was beaten too, and you still want us to pay? Let's call it even!"

The head of the village said with a stern face, "Can your punch compare to Liu Si Niang's? She has two lives!"

When Dazhu's wife heard that he wanted money, she became anxious. Money was what she needed most. She was already distressed when she was asked to pay so much money last time because she failed to harm Su Zhi. Now she was unwilling to spend money again. She didn't care about Li Shi's cold face. She sat on the ground and started crying. In short, she told what happened today as if she was innocent.

"Don't show up in front of me and my wife anymore! Just turn around and leave when you see me. Otherwise, I'll beat you up every time I see you! Get out of here now!"

Li Shi was very upset when he heard the crying. He was also worried that Liu Si Niang would be disturbed. He had no shortage of money now, and he just hoped that his wife and children would be safe.

When Zhao Dazhu heard that he didn't want the money and let him go, he immediately got up and ran away without caring about his wife. Dazhu's wife followed him.

All the onlookers looked down upon the couple.

The head of the village was relieved. Although he knew that Li Shi was not a person who did not distinguish the importance of things, he was still worried that he would get angry and make a big fuss about this matter. Dazhu's wife was wrong, but after all, the child was saved. At most, she would have to pay compensation and apologize in silver. Now the result was finally not too serious.

Li Shi went back to the house. Seeing that Liu Si Niang was fine, he felt relieved. He wanted to take Liu Si Niang home. Su Zhi asked someone to find a wooden board, put a quilt on it, and put Liu Si Niang on it. Then someone carried her home. Su Zhi also went with them to help. Shen Zian naturally went with them.

After all this commotion, it was getting dark.

All the people in the village dispersed, and it was dark when Shen Zian and Su Zhi came back together. Su Zhi had prepared a meal for them before she came back, and also made chicken soup for them, which they could drink as soon as the time came.

It was a very tiring day. After taking a bath, Su Zhi sat on the kang, looking at the three kids, Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai, playing under the kang. Her face was full of tranquility.

"What are you thinking about?" Shen Zian looked at Su Zhi and found that the water droplets on her hair had flowed down. He helped her tighten the towel on her hair and then wiped her hair.

Dahei stared at them with his eyes wide open, and the white wolf's eyes also opened for a moment, then closed again.

Su Zhi smiled and said, "I was thinking that Si Niang finally had a child. It was not easy for her." Su Zhi thought of herself. If she had a child in her previous life, would she have lived a happy life and would there be no later things? But she thought again that the child was just a test. If they really loved each other, they could be together even without children. She was very happy now. She really didn't have to think about the past anymore. Now she was healthy and had the spiritual spring and fairy lotus. She would definitely give birth to the healthiest baby. She would be the happiest woman.

Shen Zian nodded. He was also happy for Li Shi and his wife.

"Zi'an, if I don't have a child for a long time, will you dislike me?"

Su Zhi asked suddenly. She saw that Li Shi was so happy today, so she thought of asking Shen Zian. In fact, she already had the answer in her mind, but she still wanted to hear it.

Shen Zian was still gently wiping Da's hair and said, "No, we already have children now, right? We have three more. I won't let you suffer just for the sake of the children."

Shen Zian thought of his mother. It was because of the long period of childlessness that Shen Zhang was born, and his mother suffered so much. He would not let his wife suffer that kind of pain, and he would not be a man like Shen Youfu. In this world, there would never be another woman who could replace Su Zhi. If having a child would destroy his and her happiness, he would insist on not having a child.

Su Zhi was happy to hear the satisfactory answer. She saw the three kids looking at them, and thought it was a bit wrong to talk about this in front of them. But when she thought about what Shen Zian said just now that the three of them were their children, she felt that the three kids would be very happy.

"It's late, darlings. Go to bed."

When the three children heard Su Zhi calling them babies, all their worries disappeared. They thought that their father had just said that they were their children, and now their mother also called them babies, so they were their parents' babies! The three children were clamoring to hear stories. Su Zhi sent them back to their room and told them stories. After watching the three children fall asleep, she gave them a goodnight kiss, blew out the lights, and went back to the room.

At night, the two slept in each other's arms.

The whole village knew that Liu Si Niang had a child. Many people came to congratulate her. The atmosphere was lively for several days, but the Zhao family was also depressed for several days, especially Zhao Daliang. He didn't smile for several days. He felt very upset. Liu Si Niang had been with him for almost four years without a child, but she got one after marrying Li Shi. Now he heard that someone said he was not good enough, which really pissed him off.

"My sons, you have to hurry up and give me a grandson. Qing Niang, you should also eat more good food. You look a little thin, and it will be difficult to get pregnant if you are thin."

Mother Zhao told Zhang Qingniang that she was also extremely upset. As soon as she went out, someone told her about Liu Si Niang. Many people looked at her with mocking eyes, which meant that she let a good daughter-in-law go. She also heard people say that she treated Liu Si Niang so well, and Zhao Daliang might really be childless in the future, saying that she cursed him. Mother Zhao cursed those people, but she was also a little anxious in her heart.

Zhang Qingniang responded, thinking that she was not thin at all, and Liu Si Niang was thinner than her, but she still got pregnant. She was a little anxious, and she wanted to have a child soon. Only after giving birth to a child could a woman feel a sense of belonging to a place. Otherwise, even if she married Zhao Daliang, she would not feel that this man would belong to her forever. She really did not trust men much, and she only trusted the flesh and blood that came out of her belly!

"Tell me, is it all thanks to Zi'an's wife that Liu Si Niang got pregnant?"

Mrs. Zhao suddenly said something. She said that because someone in the village got pregnant after taking Su Zhi's medicine. At that time, she just thought it was a coincidence. But now, Liu Si Niang, a woman who had not been pregnant for four years, got pregnant all of a sudden, so she began to believe it.

Zhang Qingniang thought so too, but the relationship between the Zhao family and the Shen family was too bad, so it would be troublesome to ask for medicine. Moreover, she had only been married for half a year, so there was no rush. If there was no medicine in the future, she would ask Su Zhi.

And now, Zhang Qingniang was most interested in what to do with all the sweet potatoes Su Zhi had collected.

Zhao Dazhu and his wife came to the Zhao family again and were given the cold shoulder. This time they brought shame to the Zhao family again. It was impossible for Zhao Daliang and Zhang Qingniang to give them a good face. In addition, Zhao's mother-in-law was angry and kept Tiedan and drove them away. However, they refused to leave and talked to Zhao Daliang about the sweet potato incident.
