"Cai Cai, this is my mother-in-law, and the one in her arms is my daughter Niuniu."
After listening to Qu Ting's introduction of Tian Cai, I realized that the visitor was Chen Jinhui's mother.
Mother Chen thought that her daughter-in-law had been in the hospital for several days, so she should come and see her. Besides, Niu Niu missed her mother, so she made some delicious food and came with the child.
She had only heard of Tian Cai's name in the past few days. In the past, Chen Jinhui's injury during the mission was a secret and it was impossible for him to tell Chen's mother casually, so she only knew that her son met his daughter-in-law in the countryside while on a mission and then married her.
In fact, Chen's mother looked down on Qu Ting. She thought that such a country girl had little education and a poor family background, and her living habits were very different from theirs.
Besides, her son has good looks and a job, so he can't marry anyone else. He has to marry a rural girl. It would be better to marry a teacher or someone who works in a factory.
But when Chen Jinhui said he wanted to marry Qu Ting, she didn't say a word of objection.
It’s not that Chen’s mother is so open-minded, but she knows that her son has had his own ideas since he was a child, and he will definitely do what he decides to do.
After all, Chen's mother had raised him for so many years, how could she not know his temper? She didn't say a word of objection, thinking that children will have their own blessings.
It is he who marries the wife, not you, and he will be the one who lives with her for the rest of her life. Only after being together for some time can you know whether the two of you are suitable for each other. Besides, if you can't live together, you can always get a divorce.
Men don't suffer any loss.
She would be stupid to do that if she had to alienate her son because of a woman.
After Chen Jinhui got married, he brought Qu Ting to the military region and did not go back for several years. Chen's mother did not care how the two were doing.
In the spring, Chen Jinhui called her and asked her to come over, saying that his daughter-in-law was vomiting a lot because she was pregnant with her second child. Only when she came over did she realize how thin Qu Ting had become.
Seeing her stubborn son serving her attentively, and cooking for his wife even after coming back from training exhausted every day, Mother Chen knew that it was right for her not to interfere. Their relationship was pretty good. If she spoke casually, she would become a bad person.
So Chen's mother began to serve her daughter-in-law with all her heart, but she still couldn't eat much.
As Chen's mother spent more time with Qu Ting, she gradually understood her daughter-in-law's personality. She was a rare, innocent girl who did not have the bad habits that she thought country people had. She was also very clean and knew how to feel sorry for Jin Hui. She became more and more satisfied with Qu Ting.
But this constant vomiting has become a problem.
A few days ago, my son came back from the hospital, grinning from ear to ear, saying that he met a female doctor from the same village as Qu Ting, and that with her around, Qu Ting would definitely get better soon.
Chen's mother still didn't believe it. How capable could a village doctor be? Could he be better than the doctors in the military district?
Chen Jinhui secretly dragged Chen's mother into the room and told her that he had been poisoned and unconscious, and that the military hospital was helpless but Tian Cai had detoxified him. Only then did Chen's mother take it seriously.
It turns out that he is such a great doctor, and my daughter-in-law knows such a capable person!
The next day, Chen Jinhui came back to get something and told Chen's mother that the doctor said Qu Ting was in critical condition and had to be hospitalized.
She hurried to help pack up.
But this is the first time we actually meet.
This girl is really young——
It’s really beautiful too.
"This is Doctor Tian, right?" Mother Chen placed the child in Qu Ting's arms and enthusiastically stepped forward to shake Tian Cai's hand. "I know everything. Jin Hui's life was saved back then thanks to you, and now you've saved my daughter-in-law's life. I really don't know how to thank you enough."
Tian Cai also had a big smile on her face. "Aunt, look at what you said. This is too polite. Qu Ting is like a sister to me. If she had told me earlier, I would have come a long time ago. I definitely wouldn't let her suffer for so long in vain."
Mother Chen couldn't stop laughing. "Oh, this child is so good at talking. When Qu Ting gets better, remember to come to my house and I'll make you something delicious!"
"Okay, Auntie, I remember that. Qu Ting said the garlic scrambled eggs you made were delicious, but she couldn't eat it because she had a poor appetite. In fact, she was almost dying of greed!"
When Chen's mother heard what Tian Cai said, she laughed like a morning glory.
"Oh, really? Then I'll make it for you later. Eat more and don't be polite to me!"
Qu Ting widened her eyes in surprise, as if to say, when did I ever say that her fried garlic sprouts were delicious?
Tian Cai glared at her and continued to greet Chen's mother with a smile.
Qu Ting shrank her neck and said, "Okay, just treat it as delicious. Although my mother-in-law always likes to boil garlic in water, it is indeed a bit mushy and can be swallowed without biting. Isn't it an advantage after all?"
Old Mrs. Feng saw the actions and expressions of several people from the side, and she liked Tian Cai even more in her heart. Oh, this girl has such a cute little mouth, she is so adorable!
After the two of them had exchanged pleasantries, Chen's mother asked about Qu Ting's condition. In fact, she knew the answer without asking. She could tell from the fact that her daughter-in-law looked much better now, and her cheeks had grown some flesh, which showed that her condition had improved a lot.
"They're stable now, and their appetite has mostly recovered. The two fetuses seem to be doing well, but the medication can't be stopped, otherwise I'm afraid they won't be fully developed by the time they're born at full term."
"What!!"
Mother Chen exclaimed.
"Two fetuses? Twins?"
It was only then that Tian Cai realized that Chen Jinhui had not told Chen's mother that Qu Ting was pregnant with twins.
She nodded. "Qu Ting is pregnant with twins, otherwise her condition wouldn't be so serious. The two children have no source of nutrition and can only continuously absorb it from the mother."
When Mother Chen heard that it was twins, she became nervous and quickly picked up Niuniu, who was just in Qu Ting's arms. "It's better not to hold the child. If he kicks you again, it will be too dangerous."
Her sister-in-law was pregnant with twins, a boy and a girl. Later, it was said that the boy died in the womb due to lack of nutrition. The doctor said that all the nutrients were absorbed by the other girl. When the baby was almost full-term, it was a skinny and tiny dead fetus, probably weighing less than one pound.
Her sister-in-law was crying so hard at that time that the remaining daughter looked unhappy, thinking that she had killed the son she had been waiting for so hard.
Mother Chen didn't mind whether it was a boy or a girl, but twins were always much more dangerous than a single baby. Thinking of this, she no longer had any grudges against her daughter-in-law for always being sick.
"Qu Ting, let's take good care of her. Let's not have any more children after these two. It can be considered as one step at a time. Three children are enough!" Mother Chen stared at Qu Ting's belly for a long time, and finally blurted out these words with a troubled look on her face.
Tian Cai burst out laughing, "Yes, Qu Ting, I'm an experienced person, so it's always right to listen to me!"
Qu Ting also had this idea. She was afraid of getting pregnant. It would be fine if Cai Cai was around. If Cai Cai was around, she would be willing to give birth to ten children. But if she was not around, she would just forget it and not have any children.
