Chapter 071
Wen’s body is extremely weak, need to recuperate, next to the need for more people.
Zhen Zhen did not stay in the hospital, after Wen’s mother rushed over, she went home first.
Because she had been so nervous all morning, fearing that something might happen to Shizuku, Jenny was now very weak, especially in her legs.
Luckily, Shizuku and the children were safe, and their lives were not in danger, otherwise she would not have been able to walk back today.
She has experienced the loss of her parents and has a deep fear of this kind of thing in her heart.
After Zhen Zhen went to the hospital, Shui Huaoming and Zhong Minfen stayed at home for half a day to take care of the children.
Because it was hot, Xingyu and Dantong were small, and Doudou and Mimi were here, they didn’t go out.
After lunch, the four children got sleepy and fell asleep on the cushions.
Zhong Minfen and Shihuaiming didn’t go away when they fell asleep. Zhong Minfen took an old sweater out and unwrapped it, and Shihuaiming sat down next to her to help her wind the unwrapped wool into a ball and talk to her.
They talked about the past, about their childhood, about many things.
Zhong Minfen loved this feeling.
The world is quiet in the afternoon, and you can hear cicadas chirping in the distance.
Her own son is here to talk and work with her, recalling those vivid days of the past.
There was a lot of bitterness, a gnashing of teeth and hatred, but of course there was also the sweetness of a heartfelt smile.
When she was winding out a ball of wool, she suddenly saw Zhen Zhen coming in from outside the courtyard door.
When she saw Zhen Zhen come back, Zhong Minfen immediately put down the old sweater in her hand, got up to welcome her and asked, “Did Wen give birth?”
“Just now.” Zhen Zhen nodded and went into the house with Zhong Minfen.
Zhong Minfen followed her and continued to ask, “She just gave birth? This is her third child, why did it take her so long to give birth?”
From the time her stomach ached at three o’clock in the middle of the night, to now it’s past noon, this time is too long.
As a matter of fact, if a child was born more than once, the time from stomach pain to labor and birth would be shorter.
Serving Huai Ming poured a cup of warm water over to Zhen Zhen.
Zhen Zhen took the cup and drank the water and said, “Difficult labor, walked through the gates of hell and almost lost my life.”
Hearing this, Zhong Minfen’s brows instantly locked, she looked at Zhen Zhen and asked, “So dangerous, are you okay now?”
Zhen Zhen nodded again, “Made it through, no more life threatening for now.”
Zhong Minfen breathed a sigh of relief, unconsciously lowering her voice, she asked again, “A boy or girl was born?”
Zhen Zhen put the cup down, looked at Shi Huai Ming, and then looked at Zhong Minfen, her voice was also low, “Girl.”
Zhong Minfen thumped violently and heavily.
She spoke out again in an even lower voice, “Then did her mother-in-law say anything?”
Thinking of how Feng’s mother-in-law behaved in the hospital, Zhen Zhen also felt exasperated in her heart.
She gently breathed in and looked at Zhong Minfen and said, “Didn’t say anything, heard it was a girl and left straight away.”
Zhong Minfen followed with a sigh, “If she doesn’t make a fuss it’s okay, I’m afraid ……”
Serving Huai Ming only listened from the side and did not ask more about this aspect.
When Zhen Zhen and Zhong Minfen had finished talking, he asked Zhen Zhen, “You didn’t eat lunch, did you?”
Zhen Zhen shook her head at him, “I don’t have much of an appetite to eat.”
“You have to eat something even if you don’t have an appetite.” Serving Huai Ming went straight to the kitchen to heat up the rice that was left behind.
After warming it up and bringing it to the dining table, he let Zhen Zhen sit down, sent the chopsticks to her, and sat down next to her to keep her company.
Zhen Zhen sighed and barely ate half a bowl of rice.
Serving Huai Ming cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, and told her to go to her room to rest for a while.
Looking at her face and condition right now, she must have gone through an emotional upheaval.
The two went into the room and sat down.
Zhen Zhen leaned on the bed and looked at Serving Huai Ming and said, “Ah Wen saved her life this time by going through the gates of hell, but the doctor said that with her physical condition, it’s not recommended for her to have another child in the future, it’s very dangerous.”
Liu Zhi mentioned in front of him about wanting to have a son, Squire Huai Ming naturally knew why Zhen Zhen said this.
He looked at Zhen Zhen and asked, “What did he say about Liu Zhi?”
Zhen Zhen said, “When Ah Wen had a difficult labor, he was shocked and could tell that he was really scared and worried. After settling down in the ward after the labor, the doctor came over and said this, and he told Shizuku that he would never give birth again.”
Servant Huai Ming slowly nodded his head twice, “It’s fine if he thought it through.”
After saying this, he added, “What’s the point of having so many, just have two dolls to keep you company.”
Zhen Zhen looked at him, the breath in her voice was very shallow, “He can think clearly, but his mother ……”.
Understand what Zhen Zhen means, the service Huai Ming said: “Have a child is a matter between husband and wife, as long as Liu Zhi and Wen heart decision on the line, the day is ultimately a husband and wife two people live.”
Zhen Zhen sighed, “I’m just afraid that Wen will be aggrieved, and I’m even more afraid that she won’t be able to handle the pressure to conceive another one.”
Squire Huai Ming said, “As long as Liu Zhi can handle all the pressure, there won’t be any problem, he won’t be so unbalanced.”
Liu Zhi can he carry it all?
Jen recalls the state of Shizuku when she first moved here.
She said after a moment of silence, “Why did Ah Wen lose weight like that before, it must have been because she was under too much pressure on the matter of giving birth to a child, and she herself didn’t want to have a child that much, and the anxiety in her heart led to a poor mental state, she didn’t eat well or sleep well, and she had to be busy bringing up DouDou and MiMi, so she emaciated into that state.”
Servant Huai Ming held Zhen Zhen’s hand, “Don’t think about it so much for now, get some sleep first.”
Zhen Zhen’s mind was really foggy, she looked at Shi Huai Ming, “Can you stay here with me for a while?”
Servant Huai Ming spoke in a soft tone, “Okay, I’ll fan you here.”
He said, reaching out and taking a fan in his hand, gently shaking it, fanning Zhen Zhen.
Zhen Zhen lay down and pulled the sheet to cover her stomach.
She originally felt unable to sleep, but Servant Huai Ming’s presence next to her put her at ease, and the cool breeze from his fan made her feel comfortable, so she lay there for a short while before closing her eyes and falling asleep.
The world is quiet in the afternoon, the person on the bed breathes shallowly, and broken cicadas chirp in the distance.
***
Feng granny came back from the hospital, heart stifled, did not go anywhere, did not do anything, lying at home for half a day.
In the evening she came over to Zhong Minfen and said: “DouDou and MiMi will trouble you for a few days, I am not in the mood to take care of it, so bad that I can not breathe.”
Zhong Minfen comforted her and said, “Granddaughters are good, granddaughters grow up to be thoughtful.”
Granny Feng laughed coldly, “What’s so sweet about it? These two girls don’t even want to call their grandmother.”
Zhong Minfen softened her tone and patiently persuaded her, “Sister Feng, everything is mutual between people, you are good to the children, the children will be close to you.”
Feng does not care, “I don’t have that kind of energy, if you don’t want to be close to the children, then you don’t want to be close to the children, forget about it.”
Zhong Minfen also understood that there were some things that could not be persuaded.
Especially at their age, most people are very stubborn and won’t change their minds easily.
She and Granny Feng said a few more words that were neither deep nor shallow, and then sent Granny Feng out the door to leave.
Liu Zhi was at the hospital with Wen, no one was at home, Granny Feng went directly to the cafeteria to eat.
After eating, she came back and washed up, then lay on the bed and shook her fan.
She originally planned to pack up and go back home tomorrow.
The girl that Wen just gave birth to, she did not want to see a glance, and could not wait to shove it back into Wen’s stomach, so that she could give birth to another one, and naturally, it was impossible to stay and wait for Wen’s month.
However, she was not ready to leave tomorrow, as she was holding her breath.
No matter what, there are still some things that must be explained.
Since this one is not yet a son, then hurry up and prepare for the next child.
***
Shizuku stayed in the hospital for some more days because of her poor health.
Zhen Zhen had to take care of the children, especially DouDou and MiMi were still at home, so she could only take the time when the four children were sleeping to go to the hospital to see Ah Wen for a while.
Chen’s sister-in-law worked at the hospital and had more opportunities to visit Shizuku.
When she could, she came to sit in Shizuku’s hospital room and talk to her.
She knew a lot about Wen’s family, and when no one else was in the ward, she whispered to her, “Listen to your sister-in-law, even if someone gives you a mountain of money, you can’t have another baby, okay?”
Ah Wen smiled bitterly, “Sister-in-law, do you think I want to have a baby?”
If she really wanted to have a baby that badly, she would have happily gone ahead and had a baby, eaten well and made this a goal to accomplish, and wouldn’t have gotten herself into that haggard state before.
Sister-in-law Chen looked at her, ”Now no matter who wants or doesn’t want to, this body of yours just can’t take any more risks. This time it’s your life, next time it’s hard to tell, you can’t take your life to give birth to someone else’s child every time.”
Ah Wen looked down at the child beside her, tears slipping down her face as she watched.
Chen’s sister-in-law panicked and looked for a handkerchief to give her, she took the handkerchief and covered her eyes, leaning against the bed for a long time without moving again.
After a few moments, she collected her tears and returned the handkerchief to Mrs. Chen.
When she met Mrs. Chen’s worried eyes, she smiled and said, “Mrs. Chen, I’m fine.”
Sister-in-law Chen was distressed to see her like this, and softly said, “Sister-in-law knows that you are aggrieved in your heart, you should say it all out, it will make you feel better.”
Ah Wen shook her head, still smiling with red eyes, “It’s really okay.”
Sister-in-law Chen looked at her and inhaled gently.
Sitting and silently accompanying her for a while again.
***
Shizuku stayed in the hospital for a week and was still weak when she was discharged home.
Her mental state was also not good, often with hollow eyes, anxiety and sensitivity, and she would fret and shed tears when no one was around.
Her mother took care of her in the hospital for a week, but she couldn’t stay at home because of family matters, so she went home after being discharged from the hospital.
When she left, she did take DouDou and MiMi with her, so that Wen could sit at home and rest in peace.
Of course, Liu Zhi didn’t expect Mrs. Feng to be able to take care of Wen, but he paid for someone else to do so.
The nanny came to the house to serve Shizuku and the children, and Grandma Feng didn’t go into Shizuku’s room, so things were fine.
After Wen returned home, Zhen Zhen came to see her every day to keep her company.
Zhong Minfen wanted to come over to add to the fun, but she didn’t for fear that she would feel bad about seeing Xingyu.
Zhen Zhen tried her best to make Wen happy, and Wen would smile back, but Zhen Zhen could tell that her smile was on the corners of her mouth, not in her eyes. There was more depression in her eyes than anything else.
Zhen Zhen sometimes wanted her to pour out her bitterness, but she still didn’t talk about it.
She kept all the negative emotions inside herself and suffered by herself.
The days are calm.
After two days of mutual peace.
Liu Zhi asked Granny Feng during dinner, “Mother, when do you plan to go back?”
Hearing this, Granny Feng glanced at Liu Zhi and said in a bad mood, “You want to drive me away?”
Liu Zhi didn’t want to annoy Granny Feng, busy explaining, “Of course not, asking when you’re going back, I’ll take the time to go buy some things for you to bring back.”
Granny Feng clutched her vegetables and said, “It’s useless to buy anything without holding a grandchild, I don’t need it.”
Finally bringing this up, Liu Zhi pressed his voice and said, “Mother, didn’t we all agree ahead of time that no matter if we have a boy or a girl, we won’t say unpleasant and harsh words?”
Granny Feng put her chopsticks down on the table, “What did I say? What did I say?”
Feng’s voice was so loud that Ah Wen heard it from inside the house.
The nanny was changing the baby’s diaper, and when she heard Feng’s words, she slightly stopped her movement and glanced out.
Of course, she didn’t get involved in anything, just pretended she didn’t hear it, secretly glanced at Wen, and continued to change the baby’s diaper.
Seeing how Granny Feng is like this, Liu Zhi naturally has no mood or appetite to eat.
He also put his chopsticks down, sat at the table with his head lowered in silence, and said a moment later, “Please, don’t say anything for the time being, okay?”
How could Feng listen to this, her tone was heavy and her voice was loud: “There are some things I can’t help but say! I have given birth to three children, all three are maids, I still can’t say a few words? The old Liu family’s lineage can’t be broken in your place, if this child is not a son, then hurry up and have the next child until you give birth to a son!”
Liu Zhi’s brows slowly clustered, he was patient, “Ah Wen has just been discharged from the hospital after giving birth to a child, and it was a difficult labor, she is still in her monthly period, can we talk about this later? Even if we want to give birth, we still have to wait for Ah Wen’s body to get better, don’t you think so?”
Of course he didn’t intend to tell grandma Feng about Ah Wen’s inability to give birth right now, if he did, he would inevitably make a scene, and it would only do harm but no good. Ah Wen is now in her monthly period, her body is very weak, she can’t withstand a big fuss.
He and Wen have discussed, for the time being, to conceal the Feng granny, do not let her know.
The first step is to make sure that she goes home, so that she can have a good time, and then we can talk about the rest later on.
However, Feng’s heart was already stifled, because of the birth of three granddaughters, this period of time did not even sleep peacefully.
Now the fire in her heart has been stirred up again, where can she speak properly again.
If she didn’t vent it immediately, she would have to suffocate.
Her voice got louder and louder as she spoke, like exploding thunder, ”I can’t wait to say it later! Giving birth to a girl, giving birth to another girl is still a girl, giving birth to three girls in a row, what kind of month is it? It’s also her fault for giving birth to that girl! If she had a son, she wouldn’t have to suffer today! It was all for nothing!”
Liu Zhi wrinkled his eyebrows before he could say anything, when he suddenly heard a hysterical scream from inside the house, “Ah!!!”
He was startled and got up and rushed into the house, only to see Shizuku sitting on the bed holding her head, her eyes tightly closed and her face scrunched up.
The nanny was also startled by Shizuku and avoided the side with the child in her arms.
The child naturally could not withstand this kind of movement, in the nanny’s arms open mouth wow wow crying sound is loud.
Without giving Liu Zhi time to react, Shizuku suddenly lifted the blanket and got out of bed again.
Her eyes and nose were all red, she slipped on her shoes and rushed straight out of the room, going to the dining table and standing in front of Granny Feng.
Granny Feng didn’t care, looked at her and said, “I’m telling the truth, you don’t have to look at me like that.”
Liu Zhi wanted to help Wen back, Wen pushed him away and stared at Granny Feng, her lips trembling out, “You die of this, I won’t have any more children! I won’t give birth to another child for your family!”
Hearing these words, Granny Feng’s brows furrowed.
She tilted her head and looked at Ah Wen, her face and tone extremely poor, “What did you say?”
“Ah Wen.” Liu Zhi wanted to carry Ah Wen back, but Ah Wen struggled and just wouldn’t go back.
She relied on the edge of the table, both hands deadlocked on Liu Zhi’s arm, her eyes bloodshot as she told Liu Zhi, “You tell her, you tell her right now, I can’t have any more babies, I’m never having any more babies.”
Liu Zhi’s entire face was wrinkled together.
Originally, he wanted to solve this problem slowly in a more stable way, but it seemed that it would not work.
This thunder, was already on the verge of being detonated.
Without waiting for Liu Zhi to speak out.
Granny Feng’s eyes rolled around to look at him and asked, “What do you mean? What do you mean you can’t have any more children?”
Liu Zhi gulped deeply and held Wen.
After brewing for a long time, he looked at Granny Feng and said, “Mother, we don’t intend to have any more children.”
Granny Feng chased after him and asked, “What does this mean? What does it mean to not plan to have any more children?!”
Liu Zhi held his breath for a moment and said in as calm a tone as he could, “I don’t want any more, just the two Dou Dou and Mi Mi are already making enough of a mess, and now there’s one more, and there’s no one to help bring them up, so it’s simply not possible to raise that many children.”
Granny Feng’s face was fierce and anxious, “A beggar can support four or five children, you can’t support a government official?!”
She wasn’t one to be fooled, staring at Liu Zhi and asking, “Is it that she can’t have children in the future? Is it?”
Liu Zhi still wanted to keep this matter under wraps.
Since the outcome had already been decided, there was no need to put Shizuku through it again.
As a result, before he uttered another word, Ah Wen suddenly picked up, “Yes, because of giving birth to your family, my body was born broken! The doctor said that I won’t be able to get pregnant in the future!”
Hearing these words, the expression on Granny Feng’s face instantly froze, only to feel that the sky had collapsed.
She could accept anything, but she couldn’t accept the fact that the Liu family had no queen.
Her butt slipped and she sat on the ground.
Liu Zhi let go of Ah Wen and went over to pull her.
Granny Feng did not get up, backhanded Liu Zhi, looked at him and said, “Repudiate her!”
She tugged at Liu Zhi and did not let go, her eyes rounded and her voice raspy: “You give me a divorce with her! Divorce her immediately!”
“You get up first.” Liu Zhi still wanted to drag her up.
Granny Feng stayed on the ground and didn’t get up, her eyes also became bloodshot and she spoke with some gnashing of teeth, “You must divorce her! If you don’t divorce her, you’re forcing me to die! She can’t give birth, find someone else to give birth! Find someone else to give birth to!”
Is it some kind of livestock?
Liu Zhi’s head was about to explode, and he shouted, “Mother!”
Feng’s voice was hoarse, “Do you still know that I am your mother? If you still recognize me as your mother, you should quickly repudiate her! Our old Liu family can’t afford to be without a son! Without a son, you Liu Zhi will be looked down upon for the rest of your life!”
Liu Zhi wrinkled his eyebrows, “Who dares to look down on me?”
Granny Feng hissed loudly, “Those who have sons despise you! No matter how big an official you are, what’s the use of not having a son!”
She began to slap her legs and bawl, “Our Liu family is unfortunate! I married such a daughter-in-law! We’ve had three babies, and we can’t get a son! And now we can’t even get pregnant! How do you not have a difficult labor directly to the death of you ah!”
This last statement is considered a direct poke Liu Zhi and Ah Wen heart.
Liu Zhi’s tone instantly became more coarse, “Mother! What are you talking about?
Ah Wen stood still and stared at Granny Feng, her eyes red, squeezing her fingers tightly, holding her breath and gritting her teeth.
Granny Feng didn’t care what Liu Zhi said, crying and continuing to shout, “I said divorce! You must divorce her! With your condition, where can’t you find another ah! A woman who can’t give birth to a son, a piece of rotten land, what do you want her for? I’m not sure what you want her to do, but I’m not sure what you want her to do, because she can’t even carry on the family name! What do you want her for?
The words were getting worse and worse, Liu Zhi once again stopped Mrs. Feng, “Stop it!”
Feng completely trapped in their own emotions, the more not allowed to say the more to say, continue to cry and scolded: “When the first look at the past I can not see her ah, that body is not a son of a look, people are not a life of the people, you do not listen to my words, have to marry her ah! These years, gave birth to a two are girls, I said you let me not rush, the result is to let the Liu family break the back ah! Can not give birth to a child is not as good as an old sow, you do not rest her, what do you want her ah!
Liu Zhi simply can not drink Feng granny, can not block her mouth.
These words sounded harsh to him, like knives thrust into his heart, not to mention how Wen would feel if she heard them. The first time I saw her was when she was being scolded like this, so worthless that she was not even as good as a dog or a pig.
Liu Zhi was almost on the verge of a breakdown when he couldn’t stop drinking Feng’s words.
When Feng’s curses became more and more unpleasant, and her mouth was full of swear words with the word “pussy”, and when she was cursing Wen with the most vicious and dirty words, he once again shouted “Stop it”, and then violently lifted the table beside him.
After lifting the table, he picked up a bench and slammed it on the door, smashing the door with a loud bang.
The noise was too loud, and directly scared Feng and Ah Wen into a daze.
Nanny holding the child was in the house doorway side of the sneak watch, was Liu Zhi this action to scare, busy also holding the child turned back to the bedside coaxing to go.
This series of loud noise, naturally, also startled the neighbors on both sides.
When Zhen Zhen, Servant Huai Ming and Zhong Min Fen heard it, their hearts and brows were all tightened.
Zhong Minfen tightened her face and spoke out first: ”What’s going on? Is there a fight with all this commotion?”
Their hearts tensed up, Zhen Zhen and Serving Huai Ming didn’t sit down any longer, and busily put down their chopsticks to get up and rush to the next door.
Turning to the door of the next yard, just bumped into the equally alarmed over the Chen sister-in-law and Cheng Chen, the four people did not talk more outside, rushed to the yard together.
Into the yard to the house outside the door, stretched his head to look inside, only to see Feng granny sitting on the ground with her legs stretched out, her face is the appearance of having cried, Ah Wen stood next to her face is full of tears, eyes and face are all red and red.
Liu Zhi squatting on the ground deep holding his head, looks to be the most painful.
And inside the house, was a mess.
Zhen Zhen hurriedly stepped in to support Wen.
Servant Huai Ming went over to help tug on Liu Zhi who was crouching on the ground and asked him, “What’s wrong?”
Liu Zhi held his head and didn’t get up, only raising his hand and waving it at Shui Huai Ming, “Don’t worry about me.”
After saying that, he slowed down and added, “Please help me take care of Ah Wen.”
Sister-in-law Chen went over to help Granny Feng up from the ground, saying nothing.
Zhen Zhen didn’t say anything either, she helped Wen to go to the house, and when she entered the house, she saw that the nanny didn’t say anything either, she helped Wen to sit down by the bedside, took a handkerchief and wiped Wen’s tears, and coaxed her, “Good girl, don’t cry during the month.”
The more she heard this, the more she cried.
As she cried, she fell straight into Zhen Zhen’s arms, soaking Zhen Zhen’s clothes on her chest.
Outside the service Huai Ming also managed to pull Liu Zhi up, pulled to another room.
Sister-in-law Chen naturally still watched over Granny Feng, helping her to sit on the bench.
Seeing that there were people in the house, Feng’s heart was shocked, so she naturally began to cry and complain, telling Chen’s wife, “My life is miserable! I’ve got such a daughter-in-law, and my son has changed his mind, they are forcing me to die! The Liu family has no queen, and if I die, I won’t have the face to meet my ancestors!”
Before Chen’s sister-in-law could answer, she suddenly heard Liu Zhi’s voice from inside the house, “Stop talking!”
In front of her eyes there was the overturned table, the floor was full of broken open bowl pieces and spilled rice, the bench was broken into several petals, and there was also a big crater on the front door that was smashed out by the bench, for the first time to see Liu Zhi so crazy, Feng Maozi was also terrified.
She closed her voice again, and gave Chen’s wife a face of aggression and annoyance.
Chen sister-in-law did not dare to speak again, afraid of hooking the Feng granny again cried and scolded, but also have to make a mess.
Outside the gate of the courtyard, there were already some good people coming over to poke their heads in and watch the fun.
The house was quiet, only the sound of Feng’s wife wiping her tears and sniffing her nose, as well as the sound of the baby crying in the nanny’s arms.
Ah Wen lying in Zhen Zhen’s arms crying very hard, but did not make a sound.
Zhen Zhen was so distressed that she didn’t ask anything and patted her back like a child.
