Wen Xinya looked at Xia Ruya with a half-smile: "Do you want me to sit and wait for death?"
Xia Ruya's eyes narrowed, and she said with grievance, "I didn't mean that. I just think that the clear ones will be clear, and the turbid ones will be turbid, so there is no need to fight over these groundless news."
Look at what a generous and tactful word she said. Wen Xinya pretended to think for a while and said, "You are right. This is the only way I can do now."
Mr. Wen stood up from the sofa: "Xinya, help me walk in the backyard!"
Wen Xinya happily stood up and left the living room holding his arm.
Wen Xinya looked at the magnolia tree in the backyard. Perhaps it was the season, the white jade-like flowers dotted the branches of the tree, giving it a kind of elegant and beautiful appearance like the magnolia tree.
Wen Xinya helped Grandpa Wen take a walk in the yard: "Grandpa, do you often eat the medicinal recipe I sent you before?"
When I asked Du Ruo for medicinal recipes before, I saw a few health recipes and asked for them as well. I sent them to Wang Ma and asked her to take care of Grandpa's health.
Grandpa is in good health. When she died in her previous life, he was still in good health.
Old Master Wen smiled and said, "Old Master Du's prescriptions are all good things. Most people would pay a fortune to get them. You took the trouble to get them for me. How could an old man like me not use them?"
The taste of the medicinal food made with that recipe was not unbearable, unlike the medicinal food made with those recipes circulating in the market which had a bitter taste of traditional Chinese medicine and was difficult to swallow. Moreover, the effect was quite good. He had only been eating it for half a month and his sleep had obviously improved a lot.
Wen Xinya smiled and said, "I also hope that Grandpa will be healthy and live a long life!"
Mr. Wen came under the magnolia tree, looked up at the branches full of magnolia flowers that looked like clusters of white butterflies, and said slowly, "When people get old, they always like to think about the past. Recently, I often think about how you looked when you were just born."
Wen Xinya helped Old Man Wen sit on the chair under the magnolia tree.
Master Wen's cloudy eyes were a little blurry: "When your mother was pregnant with you, she had a very hard time. She spent the first four months lying in bed, and she couldn't eat oily food for six months. She almost had a miscarriage several times. Your mother was a strong person, and she fought hard to get through it."
This was the first time Wen Xinya heard someone talk about her mother. She felt mixed emotions. Thinking about how painful her mother's pregnancy was, while her father was with another woman who was also pregnant, but with someone else's child, she felt resentful towards Wen Haowen for the first time in her life.
Old Master Wen continued, "Your mother was born half a month early. Medical technology was not well developed at the time. Although caesarean sections were already practiced in China, the Z people had a deep-seated concept of waiting for the right time to come, and they were not able to accept it for a while. In addition, there had been several caesarean section accidents in China, so your mother insisted on giving birth herself, and I did not object..."
Wen Xinya's nose suddenly felt sore and tears welled up in her eyes.
"The amniotic fluid broke at 10 o'clock that morning. Your grandmother and I personally took her to the hospital. She started having stomach pains in the afternoon and the pain lasted until 8 o'clock the next morning, a full 18 hours. During the process, I requested a caesarean section, but the doctor said your mother's condition was not suitable for a caesarean section and that she could only have a natural birth. Your grandmother and I felt that every minute and every second was torture while we were waiting outside. You can imagine how she endured the pain of wanting to die."
Wen Xinya burst into tears, but she covered her lips tightly to prevent herself from making any sound.
Old Master Wen sighed, "After your mother gave birth to you with all her might, she began to bleed and couldn't stop. The doctor wanted to send her to emergency, but she refused and insisted on feeding you a mouthful of milk, saying that only when the child drank the mother's milk could he grow up healthy and safe. I was in the delivery room and watched her feed you with her last breath. As soon as she finished, she asked the nurse to take you away, fearing that her foul air would get on you and bring bad luck. I still remember that when the nurse took you away, you cried so hard that your face turned purple, and no one could comfort you. You cried for more than half an hour."
Wen Xinya suddenly thought of her previous life, when she was addicted to alcohol, fought, made trouble, took drugs, and was a slut and was condemned by everyone. She thought of what Ning Shuqian said before she died. Wasn't she the only stain on her mother? How could she in her previous life be worthy of her mother's great maternal love for whom she risked her life
In the previous life, I ultimately let myself down and my mother down!
Old Master Wen held her hand with tears in his eyes: "I still remember the day when your mother fed you the last mouthful of milk, she held my hand tightly, her nails piercing into my flesh, and entrusted you to me. I agreed at that time and swore an oath, but..." He couldn't say the rest.
Wen Xinya choked up and cried. In the limited time of her life, her mother did everything she could for her, and also did everything she couldn't do.
A feeling of hatred rose up. When her mother was pregnant with her, Wen Haowen was with another woman. When her mother was in labor, where was he? Was he in Ning Shuqian's gentle place
Mom, in this life I will make this couple go to hell and make them repent to you.
Old Master Wen continued, "When you were born, you were very thin and tiny, weighing only 15 pounds and 20 grams, and only this long!" Old Master Wen stretched out his hands and compared them. The length was only the size of a rabbit. "Because of the difficult birth, you were in the stomach for too long, so your whole body is purple and blue."
Mr. Wen paused for a moment before saying, "At that time, I accidentally heard the doctor say that this child suffered this kind of pain since birth, and he will definitely suffer in the future. At that time, I thought that the children of my Wen family were born to be favored by heaven and were loved by everyone. How could they be destined to suffer? But..."
Wen Xinya already knew the purpose of her grandfather bringing up the old matter today, which was just to express that he stood on her side and supported her decision.
Mr. Wen changed the subject and asked, "What do you think about this scandal?"
Wen Xinya said in a hoarse voice: "Grandpa, I was too careless this time. I let others take advantage of me and brought shame to the Wen family. But please believe me, I will definitely find a reasonable solution."
"Are you sure?" Old Master Wen looked at her, thinking about how she had faced the questioning of her son and daughter-in-law alone before. She was so calm and eloquent, and she managed to suppress the momentum of her son and daughter-in-law. If she hadn't been smart, she wouldn't have been able to do that.
Wen Xinya nodded: "This matter still needs to be planned, but it shouldn't be a big problem."
Mr. Wen said calmly, "If that's the case, then I won't interfere. Don't worry, I'll take care of the Wen family for you."
Wen Xinya wanted to hear these words from her grandfather. She was afraid that she would fight hard for the identity of the eldest daughter of the Wen family, but the Wen family would deny her and give up on her: "Thank you, Grandpa. I won't let you down."
