Seeing Shumei in so much pain, the well-behaved and sensible little Youchen asked, "Mom, what's wrong with you? Do you have a stomachache?"
Shumei curled up there and responded to Xiao Youchen in a low voice, "Auntie is fine, it will be fine in a while, you go to sleep first, Auntie will be here soon."
Xiao Youchen didn't listen to Shumei at all. He ran barefoot to Boyi who was watching TV outside the house.
"Little troublemaker, why did you run out without clothes on? If you don't listen to your aunt, be careful that your dad will spank you."
Boyi put the unfinished cigarette in his hand into the ashtray and extinguished it.
Although he likes it, he never smokes in front of his children for the sake of their health.
Little Youchen probably didn't know how to describe it, so he walked up and grabbed Boyi's hand and pulled him into the house.
"Dad, let's go, let's go!"
"What are you doing? You don't have any clothes on. Where are you going to take Dad?"
"It hurts, Mommy's stomach hurts."
Xiao Youchen could only explain this to Boyi because, in his eyes, when he had a stomachache, he would feel very uncomfortable and would squat down to hold his stomach. He mistakenly thought that the area Shumei was pressing was still considered part of the stomach.
Although Xiao Youchen's expression was not very clear, Boyi could hear that something had happened to Shumei.
He quickly picked up little Youchen and walked quickly into the inner room.
Shumei leaned against the door of the inner room with a very painful expression.
Boyi quickly threw Xiao Youchen onto the bed and leaned over to help Shumei up. "Shumei, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
In order not to make Boyi anxious, Shumei forced a smile and said, "It's okay, it's just a heartache. It's okay when it's not hurting, but when it starts it's still a bit uncomfortable."
"Disease? When did you develop this disease? How come I didn't know?" Boyi helped Shumei to lean on the bed, poured a cup of hot water from the thermos, and handed it to Shumei, "Come and drink some hot water to see if it will make you feel better."
Boyi had watched Shumei grow up, and he knew whether she had leukemia or not. Shumei's words really puzzled him.
Shumei thought it was just a pain that came every now and then, and she didn't feel any other discomfort. She thought it was just like her old rheumatism, and she just needed to pay more attention. Rheumatism is more likely to occur when it rains, and this heartache is mostly caused by overwork.
"Anyway, it just happens when I'm tired, but it only lasts for a while and then it's gone. It's been going on for several months now."
"Why didn't you tell me? I'll take you to the hospital for a checkup tomorrow. You can't be careless about your health."
"It's not that serious. There's no need to go to the hospital. It's probably a postpartum illness. The hospital can't cure it. I just need to be more careful myself."
Boyi sat on the edge of the bed and tried his best to persuade Shumei to go to the hospital for a check-up, but Shumei felt it was unnecessary and refused again and again.
Little Youchen was very obedient, always leaning against Shumei, not making any noise, and listening to their conversation. Shumei saw that he was naked, and she pulled the quilt over him.
Boyi was helpless and thought of another trick.
"Why don't you just stop going to Qianqian's place? It's so tiring running back and forth. Business is good now, so we don't need your share of the dividends. Just stay here peacefully, fatten yourself up, and wait to be a bride."
"No, I'm leaving. How can Qianqian handle this alone? I won't do that kind of thing. And don't keep mentioning 'the bride' all the time. We're already old, and if others hear it, they'll laugh at us."
"What's so funny? I'm telling my own story. Let them laugh however they want. Otherwise, don't go back tonight. Stay here. I'll bring Qianqian her meal."
With Xiao Youchen around, the two of them couldn't do anything too inappropriate. Boyi held Shumei's hand and persuaded her to stay overnight.
Boyi was just worried about Shumei's health. His thoughts were very simple and he definitely didn't have any inappropriate thoughts.
"No, I'm much better now. I'll go back slowly."
Seeing Shumei's objection, he thought that Shumei had misunderstood him, so he explained: "You and Xiao Youchen sleep on the bed, and I will sleep on the sofa alone. Don't worry, I know what I can and cannot do. I will never allow myself to do anything to hurt you."
A man who truly loves you doesn't do it to possess you, but to truly put himself in your shoes and consider everything you do. Even dry wood and a fierce fire can't burn in the face of true love.
