"What else can you say? My mother makes her work every day, and she doesn't even have time to sleep." Wang Dafu was sad and angry. Not only did he work, but he also didn't have enough to eat. His mother kept a strict eye on them every day, and the food was rationed, but they were not allowed to eat. He brought food to his wife, but he had to secretly pick some wild fruits for her, which caused her to vomit and have diarrhea. They didn't have money to hire a wife, so they thought it was because of the wild fruits.
"Stop arguing, wait until the doctor comes out." Father Wang spoke and stopped his son. He didn't want the family affairs to spread, and abusing his daughter-in-law was not a good reputation.
Wang Dafu was angry and angry, but the people in front of him were his mother and his sister. He had nowhere to vent, so he had to squat on the ground, hold his head and cry.
"Mom, can Dr. Xiao do this? I think it's better to go to the town and ask for a doctor." Wang Chunhua said. She had a deep feeling of repulsion towards Xiao Ming and thought she had some medical skills at such a young age.
The village chief's wife next to her heard this and retorted: "Doctor Xiao has good medical skills. She is doing a consultation at Guangji Hall in the town. No one else is as good as her."
Mrs. Wang was still hesitating whether to call a doctor, but she stopped after hearing the words of the village chief's wife.
"Everyone's gone, there's nothing to see." Mrs. Wang yelled. She couldn't bear to face such an incident at home, so she started to drive people away. She originally thought that she could successfully divorce this daughter-in-law who couldn't lay eggs today, but it didn't happen. Thinking of her being pregnant again.
Well, it's a good thing to be pregnant.
Although Mrs. Wang was anxious to go in and take a look, the young man was guarding the door. He looked at her coldly, which made her feel frightened. She retracted her feet that she stretched out several times.
Most of the people watching the fun in the yard had left, leaving only the village chief and his wife. This was also because the village chief was the brother of Old Man Wang, otherwise he would have been kicked out by the grumpy old Mrs. Liu and Wang.
When Xiao Ming came out, the Wang family gathered around. Wang Dafu crossed Xiao Ming at the door and entered the inner room. Mrs. Wang asked anxiously: "Doctor, how is she? Can the child be saved? It's a boy." She’s still a girl.”
Xiao Ming first glanced at Shi Tingyu who was at the door, and then said calmly: "This sister-in-law is already one month pregnant, but she fell into the water today and was injured, which caused her fetal motility. I She has been given medicine and the child is temporarily saved."
"However, she has long-term malnutrition and irregular diet, and her health is very poor. Therefore, this pregnancy is dangerous. Whether she can keep the child depends on the subsequent maintenance."
The Wang family heard that the child had been saved again, but the second half of Xiao Ming's sentence made them look bad. How could she be in poor health and malnourished? It was not Mrs. Wang who caused her. The Wang family had a fever on their faces.
"Doctor, how can we keep this child?" Mrs. Wang didn't care how she treated Li in the past, she just wanted this baby to be a son.
"I will prescribe a few medicines to take first, so that she can rest well and recuperate. It is best to stay in bed until the pregnancy is stable in the third trimester." Xiao Ming said, giving her own suggestions. As for whether the Wang family will comply with it, She took out the money to nurse Li back to health, but she didn't know about it.
However, it was a truly amazing turn of events. Li's pregnancy came just in time. If it was too late, Li would have been divorced from home.
Xiao Ming was worried about Mrs. Li. With her current weak body, it was not easy to save the pregnancy.
Mrs. Wang hesitated, this was a matter of spending money.
"Bao, please help Dr. Xiao. You must protect the child." The person who spoke was Wang Dafu. He rushed out of the room with a very excited expression.
~~
It was already past noon when we came out of Wang's house. The Wang family didn't even leave any food for Xiao Ming and Shi Tingyu to come back. Fortunately, with Wang Dafu's insistence, Mrs. Wang finally nodded and agreed to let Xiao Ming keep the pregnancy. .
Xiao Ming did not get into the carriage, but sat outside with Shi Tingyu, watching Shi Tingyu drive the carriage.
Xiao Ming took out a big red apple from the medicine box and handed it to Shi Tingyu, saying, "Brother Shi, are you hungry? Eat an apple."
It's already two o'clock in the afternoon, and unfortunately they haven't had lunch yet.
Shi Tingyu just glanced at it, shook his head and said, "No, you can eat it."
Thinking of the Wang family's farce, Xiao Mingyu lost the mood to eat and put the apple back.
This era is really harsh on women. The three obediences and four virtues, and the seven rules are all used to restrict women. If they cannot have children, they will be divorced. If they are not filial to their parents-in-law, they will also be divorced. , Li took advantage of this, accused Li of being unfilial and unable to give birth to a son, and wanted to drive Li out of the house.
As the saying goes, why should a woman embarrass a woman? Mrs. Wang wanted to abandon her daughter-in-law, who had done nothing for five years, and cruelly gave her such a reputation. This would cost her her life.
His evil intentions are no different from those of a murderer.
Mrs. Li is pregnant and may not be abandoned for the time being. If the child is not a son, she may still be kicked out by Mrs. Wang.
It is said that it takes many years for a daughter-in-law to become a mother-in-law, but it is not just hard work. There is no telling how much blood and tears there are in the process. This man is caught in the middle and is in a dilemma, just like Wang Dafu. Although he does not want to divorce his wife, Mrs. Wang has a word of filial piety. Pressure, you have to stop even if you don’t stop.
Li was pitiful. Xiao Ming, who was also a woman, sympathized with her and took pity on her. He bought her time to recuperate. She wanted to change but was unable to change. She felt a deep sense of powerlessness and she could not control Li's belly. The child was a boy or a girl. Faced with Li's experience, she had no other choice but to sympathize.
Marrying is really scary. Thinking of the Li family, Xiao Ming doesn't want to get married even more. Thinking about if she gets married in the future, she will have a mother-in-law like Mrs. Wang or Mrs. Liu above her head, and a weak and filial son like Wang Dafu. That's okay, it's scary to think about it, it's better not to get married.
Xiao Ming turned her head and looked at Shi Tingyu who was driving the carriage. Even though it was from the side, it could not block his sunny and calm face, resolute and perfect facial lines. He was not that handsome, but he was more charming that way, completely He was the tough guy he had seen in his previous life. Looking at him, Xiao Ming suddenly asked a very stupid and very realistic question.
"Brother Shi, if your mother and your wife fell into the water at the same time, who would you choose to save first?"
Shi Tingyu······
The reins in his hands tilted and he almost drove the carriage into the ditch.
Shi Tingyu was silent, as if thinking seriously, and then said after a moment: "I don't have a wife."
No mother either.
His mother, that gentle mother, followed his father seven years ago.
Xiao Ming·····
What kind of answer is this? Can't we just assume it?
Xiao Ming couldn't help but feel a little funny. Was she stupid to ask such a question?
