"There is only one. It's up to you whether to use it or not!" Qiao Xin put the porcelain bottle into his hand and turned her head away from him.
She was afraid that if she looked at it for one more second, she would want to snatch it back!
Fifty thousand merit points, she must ensure that at least fifty thousand people benefit from her directly or indirectly. How many good deeds must she do and how much effort must she put in to reach this standard?
Is she easy?
Qiao Yunqing was stunned for a moment, then he blinked the moisture from his eyes. It would be a lie to say that he was not touched. It was obvious that Qiao Xin was not satisfied with Yunniang, but at the critical moment, he still protected her.
He and his wife are one, so isn't this a way of protecting himself?
Qiao Yunqing lifted his robe and knelt down to kowtow to Qiao Xin. He choked up and said, "Thank you, mother!"
"Don't be so quick to thank me. From the moment I heard about you and your wife's pregnancy, I have never let go of my heart.
I had told her that her health had been bad and she shouldn't have a child for three to five years. But you two just didn't take it seriously. Now that this has happened, you as her husband can't escape the blame."
"I would not interfere in the affairs between you and your spouse, but for the sake of my grandchildren, I cannot let them lose their mother at such a young age. I can only do my best.
I spent more than five thousand taels of silver on this medicine, and I'm not giving it to you for free. Remember to ask your wife to personally deliver the silver to me."
Qiao Yunqing looked up at Qiao Xin in astonishment. He didn't expect that his mother was still thinking about money at this time. How short of money was she?
When I thought about what she had done recently, I suddenly understood.
Building bridges and roads, and reclaiming wasteland were things that the court and government officials should have spent money on. But the court had no money, and the government office in Yuncheng was also penniless. The taxes that were hard to come by were also used to build flood control embankments and resettle the insurgents.
With the help of A Niang and Bai Liu, the shop owned by his wife has expanded to three branches. All of the business is done by women from wealthy families. It is no exaggeration to say that they make a fortune every day. He and Qiao Xin have never asked his wife what she does with the money.
You can imagine, my mother's family came from afar to bring me here, and they still have some spare money to spend, and now it's time to pay for the life-saving medicine!
Seeing that Lao Er was still in a daze, Qiao Xin couldn't help but remind him: "Go and give it to her quickly. It's very precious. Be careful!"
Just after I drank the soup that dissolved the pills, I heard a faint baby cry within a quarter of an hour.
The crying broke the tense atmosphere, and both mother and son breathed a sigh of relief.
When Qiao Xin received the little child handed over by the midwife, she no longer felt bad about taking out the pills.
This was the first grandson she had ever seen being born. It was a special feeling. It was like two unrelated people were magically connected.
After checking the pulse, the doctor reported: "Madam has a good foundation and is blessed with a long life. It is not easy for both mother and child to be safe now. You should focus on recuperating in the next three to five years..."
Then he talked about some things to pay attention to during the confinement period, and reminded them implicitly that it would be best not to have another child in the next three to five years, otherwise even the gods could not save them.
Then he left a prescription and said goodbye!
The Mo family escorted him out quickly and paid double the consultation fee.
After there were no outsiders present, Qiao Xin asked about what happened today!
"Didn't we tell her to stay at home and take care of her pregnancy? Why did she end up like this?"
Qiao Yunqing then told the story of how Zhang insisted on seeing her eldest brother off in person, and how she was insulted by her mother and sister-in-law, and gave birth prematurely due to shock in the crowd.
Finally, he sighed: "My son and she have been through thick and thin together. I thought that if I treated her well enough, she would treat me sincerely. But in the end, she still didn't trust me completely. This happened, and my son was very sad. He didn't know how to continue.
But considering that she is in a life-or-death situation, I can't say anything."
"No matter what ideas or questions you have, wait until your wife recovers before discussing it with her. As a couple grows older, it is inevitable that they will have different ideas. The most frightening thing is not the difference of opinion, but suspicion and lack of communication. It is so easy to say that you will abandon your wife.
No matter how bad your wife is, she listens to you on major issues, and she is just a little stubborn in this matter.
To be frank, even if you were a noble lady, you would probably have to deal with more than just these trivial matters.
When you are with your wife, at least you can control everything, but that may not be the case with other people!"
Qiao Yunqing was thoughtful. He admitted that he would give up at some point. But he couldn't really reach the point of divorcing his wife. But seeing Zhang drifting away from him, he didn't know how long he could hold on.
He could stop marrying and taking concubines, but he would not tolerate Zhang's stupidity without limits.
What my mother said was right. Even if I married a lady of equal status, the harem would still not be peaceful. By then, I would not only have to face the bloody storm in the court, but also the intrigues in the harem. Just thinking about it made me shudder.
"Please help me, mother!" Qiao Yun asked sincerely.
Qiao Xin looked at him speechlessly.
Isn't it a joke that you asked her, who has been single for two lifetimes, to teach you how to save your marriage as soon as you got married?
Forget it, even if you haven't eaten pork, have you ever seen a pig run?
Although unhappy families have their own misfortunes, happy families all have the same reasons.
In the past, people have been forcing me to drink chicken soup for the soul for decades, and now it is someone else's turn to experience that dizzy feeling.
