When Qi Fusheng heard that Jiang Chunlai's wife had bleeding and needed to go to the hospital, he asked Jiang Chunlin to harness the cart without saying a word.
Jiang Chunlin saw a bicycle parked nearby and said to Qi Fusheng, "Village Chief Qi, can you lend me your bicycle, too?"
"Doesn't your wife have a bicycle?" Qi Fusheng asked in confusion.
As Jiang Chunlin was putting the cart on, he said, "I want to use my bicycle to drive the cart, so it can go faster."
Qi Fusheng agreed. A woman's spotting during pregnancy could be a big deal or a small matter. If you're lucky, the pregnancy could be preserved, but if you're unlucky, it would be over.
"Take it."
Jiang Chunlin thanked him, put the bicycle on the cart and pulled it back home.
Jiang Chunlai was standing at the door, turning around anxiously. When he saw Lao Si coming back, he hurriedly picked up a quilt and spread it on the cart, and put Chen Fenxia on the cart.
"Mom, you can sit on it too. Chunlai and I will ride the bicycles to pull you along."
Jiang Chunlin tied the two handlebars of the cart to the back seats of two bicycles.
He Xiuyun nodded, climbed up the shelf and hugged Chen Fenxia, "Fenxia, don't be afraid, mother will take you to the hospital now."
Chen Fenxia was terrified. She grabbed He Xiuyun's hand and asked crying, "Mom, will the child be okay?"
"It's going to be okay, don't be afraid, we're all here." He Xiuyun didn't know whether the child could be saved, so she could only calm Chen Fenxia down first.
Shen Qinghe and Liu Hongmei stood aside, "I'll go with you too."
He Xiuyun looked at her two daughters-in-law and said, "You two should not go. Take good care of the children."
I don’t know what kind of devil the Jiang family has offended today. Something happened to the eldest family, and something happened to the third family too. They can’t be staggered.
Jiang Chunming said to Shen Qinghe and Liu Hongmei, "Hongmei, Qinghe, mother is right. You stay at home and take good care of the children. I will go with you to take a look."
"I'll go too." Jiang Chunshan also said.
Finally, the two Jiang brothers and Jiang Jianguo ran behind the cart, while Jiang Chunlin and Jiang Chunlai each rode a bicycle and pulled the cart towards the county hospital.
Shen Qinghe and Liu Hongmei looked at each other and said, "Second sister-in-law, how about calling the children together?"
"Okay." Liu Hongmei nodded.
He Xiuyun's room was bigger, so she called all five boys over. After playing for a while, they climbed onto the kang and fell asleep.
Shen Qinghe talked to Liu Hongmei for a while, then couldn't hold on any longer and fell asleep leaning against the wall.
"Qinghe." Liu Hongmei pushed Shen Qinghe awake.
Shen Qinghe opened her eyes, still a little dazed.
Seeing Shen Qinghe's confused look, Liu Hongmei couldn't help but laugh, "No wonder mother wants you to have a daughter. If your daughter is as pretty as you, I would like her too."
Shen Qinghe smiled, and finally came to her senses. She glanced at the still dark sky outside and asked, "They haven't come back yet?"
"No." Liu Hongmei shook her head, "You go back to sleep, I'll take care of the five boys."
"Can you do it alone?" Shen Qinghe asked.
Liu Hongmei nodded. "They are all asleep and will basically sleep until dawn. You don't have to worry about them. I can just lie down beside them."
Shen Qinghe went back yawning, and seeing that there was hot water in the pot, she took a bath and then lay down.
I thought I would fall asleep quickly, but I became more awake the longer I lay there.
She knew Jiang Chunlin wanted a child, but she didn't dare to take the risk.
She didn't know whether she and Jiang Chunlin had a future. If she had a child under such uncertain circumstances, the child would be the one to suffer after the divorce.
She is confident that she can raise her children to adulthood, but what about their spiritual growth? Can she guarantee that divorce will not cause them harm?
The answer is uncertain.
Shen Qinghe fell asleep while she was lost in thought.
Hearing some noise outside, Shen Qinghe opened her eyes and found it was already dawn. She hurriedly lifted the bed sheet and got up.
Except Jiang Chunlai, everyone else came back.
"Mom, I'll deliver the cart and bicycle to the village chief's house." Jiang Chunlin said to He Xiuyun. When he saw Shen Qinghe coming out of the house, he glanced at her and left.
"Mom, how is Fanxia?" Shen Qinghe asked.
He Xiuyun sighed, "The baby was not saved. Fenxia was very sad and cried all night. The doctor said she had to stay in the hospital for a few days. Chunlai is taking care of her in the hospital. I came back to make some chicken soup for Fenxia to nourish her body."
He Xiuyun looked exhausted, with bags under her eyes almost falling to the ground. She probably hadn't slept all night.
Shen Qinghe said to her, "Mom, go and have a rest. I'll go to the state-owned restaurant and buy a bowl of chicken soup for my third sister-in-law."
He Xiuyun nodded. Buying an old hen would cost a lot of money, and it would take time for her to stew chicken soup, so it would be faster to buy the one she bought.
She went into the house and took out the money for Shen Qinghe, but Shen Qinghe refused, "Mom, I'll pay for it, you don't have to worry about it."
"No." He Xiuyun insisted on putting the money into Shen Qinghe's hand, "I am the mother-in-law, and this is what I should give to Fen Xiahua. You can use it to buy chicken soup for her, or I can go to the village and buy an old hen to stew it myself."
Shen Qinghe had no choice but to accept the money.
After Jiang Chunlin came back, Shen Qinghe prepared to go to the county.
"Let's go, I'm going to work too."
Shen Qinghe asked in surprise, "You don't want to sleep?"
"Just take a nap during the lunch break." Jiang Chunlin said nonchalantly.
Shen Qinghe said nothing and took out the snakeskin bag.
Jiang Chunlin was tied to the back seat of the bike. He swept his legs and slowed down his speed. He felt the back seat sink. He turned his head and saw Shen Qinghe's fair face, then he sped up.
After arriving at the county, the two went straight to the state-owned hotel.
The staff said that chicken soup was only available at the Bank of China and it hadn't been stewed yet. So Shen Qinghe bought a bowl of tofu pudding for Chen Fenxia, weighed two kilograms of fried dough sticks, and bought a few meat buns for Jiang Chunlai, and the two of them went to the county hospital together.
When I arrived at the gynecology department and just walked to the door of the ward, I heard Chen Fenxia crying and Jiang Chunlai was comforting her in a low voice.
Seeing Jiang Chunlin and Shen Qinghe, Jiang Chunlai stood up from his chair and said, "Chunlin, Qinghe, you are here."
Overnight, Jiang Chunlai seemed to have aged several years, his beard was untidy, his eyes were red, and it seemed that he had cried.
"Third sister-in-law, you should take care of yourself first. You will have children in the future."
Chen Fenxia cried so much that her eyes were swollen like walnuts. Shen Qinghe whispered to comfort her.
"I won't have any more." Chen Fenxia cried, "It was so hard to get pregnant with this baby. It will be hard to have another one in the future."
Jiang Yufeng is five years old this year. She and Jiang Chunlai have been planning to have a second child since he was three years old. It took them two years to get pregnant. They were looking forward to the birth of their second child with great joy, but they didn't expect it to be like this.
Shen Qinghe was stunned. "What did the doctor say?"
"The doctor told me not to worry, and that what's supposed to happen will eventually come to me," Chen Fenxia said while crying.
Shen Qinghe, "..."
"Fenxia, don't cry. The doctor didn't say you can't have children. We can try again in the future. If you really can't get pregnant, we still have Yufeng." Jiang Chunshan endured the pain in his heart and comforted Chen Fenxia.
He felt no less pain than Chen Fenxia because he lost his child.
At first he hoped it would be a girl, but as time went on he thought a boy would be fine too, because no matter what the baby was, it would be his child after all.
He never dreamed that he would lose the child.
