When Lin Zhaoyue met Qian Chunyun, although she had already heard about her recent situation from her father, she did not expect it to be so serious.
Qian Chunyun's legs were severely swollen. She lay in bed looking terrible, unable to eat anything and vomiting only bile. In the hospital, she could only receive intravenous nutrition.
Pregnancy can be deadly.
Lin Zhaoyue was surprised that Qian Chunyun's obsession was so strong!
"Aunt Qian, how are you feeling today?" Lin Zhaoyue asked softly. Qian Chunyun forced a pale smile. "I'm alright, much better than yesterday."
So you're saying you're in a good state today? Yesterday you were in a worse state than today!
Lin Erwu weighed the thermos in his hand and found it was empty, so he got up and went out to get some water.
Lin Zhaoyue pulled a stool out from under the bed and sat down. "Aunt Qian, what exactly did the doctor say? When can I be discharged?" Staying in the hospital for a long time, I'm afraid I won't be able to get proper rest.
Qian Chunyun has been staying in the hospital recently, and Lin Erwu and his sister-in-law Niu Zaifang take turns accompanying her.
She couldn't be discharged at all. She had planned to be discharged a few days ago, but then she suddenly started bleeding at night.
After a thorough examination by the doctor, who said there was a risk of premature birth, Qian Chunyun now wishes she could live in the hospital every day and dares not go back.
If something happens at the hospital, you can see a doctor promptly; it's much more dangerous at home.
Qian Chunyun hasn't told Lin Erwu about this yet. If she does, Lin Erwu will definitely advise her to let things take their course.
The natural outcome was that the baby couldn't be saved. Qian Chunyun had persisted for so long, and she couldn't bear to give up.
As long as she could endure a few more months, the baby in her womb would be born safely. Whenever Qian Chunyun thought of this, she would feel great.
"We'll see," Qian Chunyun replied dismissively, looking at Lin Zhaoyue with envy. Youth is indeed a blessing; Lin Zhaoyue's pregnancy was as good as if she weren't pregnant at all.
"Aunt Qian, even if it costs you your life, are you still going to give birth to this child?"
Lin Zhaoyue thought of her mother, swallowed unconsciously, and frowned. "A person's life is only once. Once it's gone, it's really gone."
“Zhaoyue, you’re a mother now, you should know the answer to this question.” Qian Chunyun’s voice was gentle. She was very grateful that she was able to get pregnant. It was a gift from God. No matter what difficulties she encountered, she would give birth to this child. This was her bloodline.
Lin Zhaoyue subconsciously raised her hand and touched her lower abdomen. Aunt Qian was right. If it were her, she would also choose to give birth to the child.
Even though she hadn't met the baby in her belly yet, she already loved him deeply.
...
By the end of November, Beijing had fully entered winter, and Lin Zhaoyue, in her second trimester of pregnancy, had become a bit lazy and unwilling to get up early.
It started snowing last night. Lin Zhaoyue slept soundly until noon. When she got up, she saw that the snow in the yard was already quite thick.
Lin Zhaoyue stood at the door, not daring to go over. She knew she was pregnant and what if she fell?
"mom!"
Lin Zhaoyue called out towards the main room, and Hua Xiuyun responded. But it was her father-in-law, Jiang Guofu, who came out. He walked over through the snow and stretched out his arm to Lin Zhaoyue, saying, "Come on, slow down. The snow shows no sign of stopping, so we haven't had time to sweep the yard yet. Let's go eat first."
"..." Lin Zhaoyue leaned on her father-in-law's arm and carefully took a step. Jiang Guofu watched her warily to prevent her from falling.
"Slower."
"Dad, where's Jingzhou?" Lin Zhaoyue asked, puzzled. Did he go to the army base even with such heavy snow?
“He’s in the army,” Jiang Guofu replied. “He left early. He told us not to disturb your rest and to let you sleep until you naturally wake up.”
"Hmm, I don't know what's wrong with me lately, I always feel like I'm not getting enough sleep." Lin Zhaoyue said as she walked in. Hua Xiuyun took a towel and swept all the snow off Lin Zhaoyue.
“We’re having mutton soup for lunch today. It’s perfect for this cold weather. Didn’t you complain last time that the mutton soup at the end of our alley was too gamey? This time, we’re making it ourselves! It definitely won’t be gamey.”
"..." The good thing about my wonderful mother-in-law is that no matter what I say, she will remember it and treat me even better than her own daughter.
The two little ones are still asleep inside, and they're staying in bed too, even though it's snowing heavily outside.
I envy baby girls who can eat whatever they want as soon as they wake up; I have to make everything myself when I want to eat.
[Same envy +1]
Why can't I meet such a good mother-in-law? My mother-in-law is like she's doing it on purpose. I've already said I don't eat scallions, but she always adds loads of scallions to her cooking, like they're free.
Sister, believe me, your mother-in-law is definitely doing this on purpose; she's just trying to get back at you.
[Mothers-in-law are really strange creatures. If they dislike their daughters-in-law so much, why do they let their sons get married in the first place? They might as well just stay single!]
[An old bachelor is unable to carry on the family line; marrying him means he'll give the man a grandson.]
Her eldest grandson doesn't take her surname.
It's often said that women shouldn't make things difficult for other women, but in reality, it's women who are making things difficult for other women!
Lin Zhaoyue sipped the mutton soup, her hands and feet starting to warm up. As she watched the comments section of the live stream, she suddenly realized that every family has its own troubles.
"With snow like this, don't go to the hospital," Hua Xiuyun said worriedly. "The roads are too slippery!"
Even driving there isn't safe; we don't know when the snow will stop.
"Okay, I won't go." Lin Zhaoyue wasn't an important "person" to begin with. Patients all registered to see Professor Liao, and she was just sitting next to him to gain experience.
"Not bad, your mutton soup is really good this time. It's mainly because it's homemade with high-quality ingredients." Jiang Guofu had been clamoring for mutton soup, but Hua Xiuyun wouldn't let him have any. He had to wait until his daughter-in-law woke up before he could eat it. Did she expect his daughter-in-law to eat what he left over?
Hua Xiuyun filled Lin Zhaoyue's bowl to the brim with "ingredients," which was quite different from what her father-in-law served.
Jiang Guofu complained more than once that Hua Xiuyun didn't take him seriously even after he got a daughter-in-law!
In this family, according to seniority, the daughter-in-law is number one, followed by the two children, and finally Jingzhou, who is last.
Oh well, what can you do when your daughter-in-law is now a hero in their family?
Successfully enabled the Jiang family to flourish and multiply.
In his generation, he only had one son, and Jingzhou was his only son.
With three grandchildren now in the family, you can imagine how lively the household will be in the future.
Jiang Guofu drank two bowls of mutton soup, sweating profusely. He had plenty of energy but nowhere to use it, so he went to the yard to sweep snow.
Hua Xiuyun muttered, "What a waste of time!"
It would be better to wait until the snow stops before shoveling. He'd have to shovel so many times if he did it this way. Isn't he just wasting his time?
"Mom, is there any left in the pot? Why aren't you eating?" Lin Zhaoyue noticed that her mother-in-law wasn't serving her any, so she assumed there wasn't any left in the pot.
