Xie Rongzhao wanted to laugh when he heard this. Fourth brother, you are really ambitious!
Xie Rongen has indeed benefited a lot from this trip. He has seen the outside world and learned that a man cannot always be trapped in the inner house. He should go out more often and take a look, so as not to be constrained by the two acres of land in front of his door. .
No one in the Xie family practices martial arts. Even Xie Laosan learned some skills after fooling around with the hunters in the village, mainly because of his strength.
Xie Rongen is different from him. He is still young and has already realized this. So Cheng Jingzhou simply discussed with his family and asked Master Wu to take him first. He did not mention accepting a disciple and just said that he would train with him first. Practice once and find a way out later.
Cheng Jingzhou knew that Xie Rongzhao had been frightened by the forced recognition of relatives by the Fang family, so he had been walking around the Liu family more frequently recently.
"Uncle is not at home. If you have anything, you can ask me or my fourth brother for help. How is Auntie doing now?"
Xie Rongzhao smiled sweetly: "It's okay, my mother-in-law is in good health. I just don't know when my father will come back."
Cheng Jingzhou pinched her face and then started to check her homework again.
Liu Ruolan was a little depressed in the room. Previously, her mother-in-law and several brothers and sisters-in-law had said that they wanted to find a famous doctor to help her see a doctor, but there was no news yet.
After waiting for a long time, Liu Ruolan inevitably felt a little impatient.
Mrs. Liu comforted her: "Don't be anxious. I don't care whether you can get pregnant again. At least Xiuwen's attitude has been shown. Since he has said that he will never take concubines again, let alone divorce his wife and remarry, you What else is there to care about?”
Liu Ruolan smiled bitterly: "Mom, that's just his temporary thought. If he goes to high school in the future and is expected to become an official, how can he be childless?"
At this point, Liu Ruolan's tears fell: "Mommy, when that time comes, not to mention my husband coming to persuade me, even I myself feel shameless to face the ancestors of the Xie family."
Mrs. Liu was so angry that she felt bitter and slapped her on the back: "This child of yours is already a mother, so what if my dear baby is a girl? How could you say such a thing? Come? It is important to continue the family lineage, but Xiuwen also has brothers, and he is not the only one, so why do you bother to embarrass yourself? "
Liu Ruolan was depressed before, but now she started to cry even more when she started talking.
"Mom, how can I not love my dear baby? Even if my husband doesn't mention it now, he will always envy others in the future. What if after more than ten years, he wants a son?"
Mrs. Liu is open-minded: "Then let him take a concubine! Your position as the head wife will never be lost, and you don't have to be too obsessed with this matter."
Liu Ruolan was still crying.
She also knew that she was a little awkward. She didn't want to take a concubine for her husband, but she also wanted to pass on the family line to her husband. It was really contradictory.
A few days later, Liu Laoer really came back with good news.
"That famous doctor is really powerful, and I heard that there is a secret recipe for childbirth passed down from our ancestors. I have asked someone to find out. It's just that I'm in Fucheng. I thought it would be better to wait until my brother-in-law comes back later, and we can go there again?"
But Liu Ruolan felt that she couldn't wait any longer: "I'm going tomorrow. I really can't wait any longer."
In the past few months, Liu Ruolan had been thinking about getting a chance to have another child. Now that she heard that she had a son, she couldn't wait.
Mrs. Liu also knew that she couldn't defeat her, so she had to ask her second son and his wife to accompany her to Fucheng.
Xie Rongzhao also wanted to go with Liu Ruolan because he was going to Fucheng.
After the Liu family discussed it, it was better not to inform the Xie family about such a big matter, so they simply asked Xie Rongen and Xie Rongzhao to follow them to Fucheng.
The Liu family did this to avoid any more gossip.
When Xie Rongen learned that he was going to Fucheng, he was naturally so happy that he jumped three feet high.
But what disappointed Liu Ruolan was that after the doctor checked her pulse, he bluntly said that it was impossible to get pregnant again.
Liu Ruolan couldn't bear the blow and fainted on the spot.
Xie Rongzhao also felt sorry for her. In fact, as early as in Gaoyang County, she had expected that her body would never be pregnant again. A trip to Fucheng would just make her give up completely.
Xie Rongzhao knew that Aniang had been secretly drinking tonics these days. She wanted to replenish her body so that she would have a chance to get pregnant again in the future.
Liu Ruolan was too persistent about Ziyi and refused to listen to anyone's advice.
Xie Rongzhao felt sorry for her, but there was nothing he could do.
She was not happy to watch her grandma drink those bitter medicinal soups every day, but she couldn't do anything if her grandma didn't listen to her advice.
"Second uncle, my father has repeatedly promised not to take concubines, why is my mother still uneasy?"
Liu Laoer sighed and touched Guabao's head, but didn't explain much.
There were some things that he couldn't say to a little girl.
There is a high possibility that Xie Xiuwen will go to high school in autumn this year. Once he becomes a civil servant, his status will no longer be accessible to ordinary people.
Liu Laoer understands that his sister is a little worried. What if there is a daughter from a rich family, or a daughter from a high family falls in love with her brother-in-law? How will she deal with it then?
In fact, the Liu family knew what Liu Ruolan was thinking.
If she has a son, then her position as the head wife must be secure, and if she insists on not taking concubines for her husband, no one can blame her.
But it happened that she only had one daughter. In the future, when Xie Xiuwen entered the officialdom and the family became rich, he would inevitably not want a son to inherit the family business.
After all, the Liu family has a weak foundation and cannot be relied upon by Liu Ruolan, and Liu Ruolan herself is too weak to be able to handle things. She always thinks that she will be confident to speak if she can give birth to a son.
Because Liu Ruolan was not in good condition, Xie Rongzhao didn't mention going to Cheng's house again after they returned home, and kept guarding her to prevent her from imagining things again.
In a blink of an eye, it’s the end of June.
It was still very hot in June in Gaoyang County. Xie Rongzhao looked at his mother who was sitting there in a daze, and for a moment he didn't know whether he should step forward to speak.
In fact, everyone can see that Liu Ruolan seems to have fallen into a dead end now. He doesn't listen to what others say and only accepts his own dead end.
Xie Rongzhao sighed: "You still need someone to tie the bell to untie it. If you want to make my mother completely better, you have to rely on my father."
Old Mrs. Liu was standing behind her, how could she not understand what her granddaughter meant?
"My dear, come into the house quickly. It's a little sunny in here. Didn't you say I want to send something to your father? Go and get ready. The Song family's servant will be here soon."
"I know, grandma, I'll go right away."
Liu Ruolan sat there in a daze. She had lost a lot of weight and seemed to have no energy at all.
"Ruolan, don't just think about your son, you also have to look at your daughter in front of you! If you continue like this, my dear baby will also fall ill with you."
