Lin Anyi's face turned red because of what Liu said. She had just become a bride and her cheeks were not yet developed.
"Alin comforted me in the same way, but my mother-in-law would always ask me if I felt unwell. I was not anxious at first, but I gradually became anxious..."
Her mother-in-law didn't mean to urge her, but just asked her every few days if she felt any discomfort or anything, worried that she didn't have any experience for its first time.
Every time she gave a negative answer, her mother-in-law was not disappointed, but just said that it was not her destiny yet and there was no need to rush.
As the person involved, every time she heard similar words, her heart sank a little, and she gradually became impatient. Especially when her period came every month, she would feel disappointed and blamed herself.
Lin Anyi felt very painful.
Her life at her husband's house was much better than at her own family. She was never short of money for food and drink. Her parents-in-law treated her like their own daughter, and her husband loved her very much. But because of this, she felt even more miserable and hated herself for not being able to conceive.
As she spoke, she began to sob. Liu hugged her and patted her shoulders gently to comfort her silently.
"If...if they were all less nice to me..."
As the only girl and the youngest in the family, Lin Anyi is the most favored one at home. Compared with other families of the same level or similar circumstances in the surrounding areas, she is really happy.
However, after marrying into the Chang family, which was more than one class better off than the Lin family, her life in the Lin family became miserable in comparison.
The Lin family's love and pampering for him and her is limited. They are busy preparing three meals a day, and their love for the child is only reflected in ensuring that she has a meal every day.
Compared with those girls in the village who worked every day but had no food to eat, she was truly loved.
The heavy work was done by her brothers in the family. When she was young, no one asked her to do the fine work. When she grew older and her brothers got married, her sisters-in-law did the work. The most she did was to help her mother with the work.
After marrying into the Chang family, she didn't even have the chance to help. She slept until she woke up naturally every day and ate when she was hungry without having to worry about who ate more or less.
If you eat a few more bites of your favorite food, you will still see it on the table at the next meal. If you look at your favorite gadget for a second longer, it will appear in front of you the next day.
She also receives warm greetings from her family every day. How could she deserve such a life?
The Chang family treated her so well, the kind of kindness she never expected. It was so kind that she felt apprehensive, so uneasy that she always wanted to give something back.
But after observing for a few months, she found that they seemed to have everything they needed, the only thing they lacked might be a child.
So she made having a child her goal and always wanted him to come soon.
"Pah, pah, pah! What nonsense are you talking about? Who doesn't want their partner to treat them well when they get married? It's something they can't even hate. You're the only one who wants someone to treat you badly. Don't be so ungrateful that you don't appreciate the blessings you have."
Liu slapped Lin Anyi on the head. She felt that this child was a bit like what her daughter had said? Oh, yes, it was called mental problems.
Lin Anyi felt dizzy after being slapped, but it also helped to clear some of the water in her head.
She was overthinking it. It turned out that being too stubborn was such a terrible thing. She felt like she was no longer herself.
When she came back to her senses, she felt a little unnatural, but she still wanted a child.
Which woman doesn't want a child after getting married? Especially those with harmonious marriages, who want a baby even more.
"It's my fault for not knowing what's good for me." Lin Anyi apologized immediately.
"That's right. Don't tell anyone what you just said, or you might get beaten up."
Liu was not joking when she said this. Not to mention outsiders, even she, her sister-in-law, wanted to punish her.
She is not satisfied with marrying into such a family, so how can she bear marrying into the Lin family?
Lin Anyi answered obediently. She recalled what she had just said. To outsiders, it must have sounded like bragging, right?!
Lin Shiyu: ...
Let me tell you a word - Versailles.
The two aunts and sisters-in-law started chatting in whispers on the boat, talking about family matters one after another, as if there was no end to the topic.
Lin Shiyu sat in the corner, listening to their gossip while sewing up the unfinished work of Liu Shi with needle and thread.
She is a Chinese medicine practitioner, and she is actually quite good at sewing!
"I heard Sister Yu knows medicine?"
Somehow the topic of their conversation turned to themselves. Lin Shiyu's hand holding the needle and thread paused, then she tied a knot on the thread on her clothes as if nothing had happened.
"Yes, she used to live with my father and learned the basics from her grandfather." Liu explained, "Didn't you have severe pain during your period before? Ask Sister Yu to take a look at you. She was the one who helped me when I fainted from the pain last time."
Lin Anyi's eyes lit up when she heard this, and then her face turned red.
She did suffer excruciating pain every month during her period, but she never felt the pain again after getting married.
She remembered that before she got married, every time she felt severe pain, Old Mrs. Lin would comfort her and say that the pain would go away after she got married. Now she thought it was true.
"Then let's take a look! Is Sister Yu okay?" Lin Anyi asked.
Whether it hurts or not is another matter, she will not refuse her sister-in-law's kindness.
Lin Shiyu had just put away her needle and thread when Lin Anyi spoke.
"Sure auntie, I'll come now."
Lin Shiyu touched her nose and couldn't say no. Didn't she see that her dear mother wanted to show off her lovely daughter?
Lin Shiyu came over and Liu stood up and made an empty seat for her.
"Put your hand out."
Lin Anyi stretched out her hand, and Lin Shiyu placed her fingers on it. After a moment, her brows furrowed, "Change to your other hand."
Her voice was a little serious, and Lin Anyi, who originally just wanted to deal with his sister-in-law, suddenly felt a little nervous.
Is there something wrong with your body?
Is it that I can’t have children anymore?
Or is it that I have some serious illness and am about to die?
ヾ(＞Д＜;)))).....
After taking her pulse with both hands, Lin Shiyu pointed to her lower abdomen and asked, "Are you bleeding now?"
Lin Anyi put his wandering thoughts aside and nodded along with her.
"It's been a few days now. Is the amount of bleeding heavier than usual?"
"It's the third day. Compared with the past..." Lin Anyi didn't know how to answer for a moment.
"How does it compare to the past?" Lin Shiyu asked.
"Compared to last month, the amount is about the same, but compared to earlier, it's much smaller." Lin Anyi answered truthfully: "Am I sick? Is the problem serious? Can it be cured?"
If Lin Shiyu hadn't asked her, she wouldn't have noticed that the amount of blood she had been bleeding since last month was so little, and the color was different from before.
Did her illness start at that time? It shouldn’t be serious since it lasted for such a short time!!
