As Xiaocao inserted the needle, Du, who was originally leaning on Han's shoulder with a pale face, gradually lost consciousness.
“Mom, mom…” Wen Renxi panicked and became extremely anxious upon seeing this.
"Don't panic, fifth sister. Your mother's emotions are fluctuating too much. I let her sleep temporarily. It's okay, don't worry." Xiaocao comforted her gently, but her hands did not stop moving at all.
Wenrenxi's lips trembled as he looked at Xiaocao with a complex expression in his eyes. After a moment, he said "thank you" in a voice as soft as a mosquito.
Xiao Cao paused for a moment and let out a breath.
"Xuan'er, how is your second aunt?" Han asked softly.
"Not very good." Xiao Cao frowned slightly, "Let's send Second Aunt back first. I'll prescribe medicine for her and tell you the details later."
"Listen to the fourth girl and send the person back first." Madam Wenren suppressed her anger and glared at her second son. "I didn't intervene before and let you do whatever you want. If I don't intervene today, won't someone get killed someday?"
Wenren Zhongyong wanted to refute, but when he saw his mother's expression, he could only stammer and remain silent.
"Dining with unrelated people."
After Madam Wenren gave her instructions, it seemed that they were going to go to the second house's courtyard together.
The old lady was in a rage and it was impossible to stop her. As the eldest brother-in-law, it was naturally inconvenient for Wenren Taibo to go to the second room. However, with Han around, there was no need to worry too much. In addition, Yan from the fifth room took the initiative to step forward and support the old lady, and Wenren Taibo said no more.
Wenren Zhongyong had never been kind to his wife. To be honest, if Mrs. Du died, he would be very happy. Moreover, he was over 40 years old and was beaten by his own mother in public. He had never lost face like this before. He dared not and would not hate his mother. Naturally, this account would be blamed on Mrs. Du. Now that he had missed his dinner because of Mrs. Du, he was very unhappy in his heart, but he did not dare to show it.
After Mrs. Du was sent back, she was settled in bed. Xiaocao prescribed some medicine and asked the servants to get it as soon as possible and send it over after it was boiled.
"Fourth girl, tell me what's going on with your second aunt." Old Madam Wenren waved to Xiaocao.
Xiao Cao hesitated a little, "Second Aunt is pregnant, it's early, not even a month yet..."
"Really? She's really pregnant?" Wenren Zhongyong, who originally had a cold face, suddenly became ecstatic.
However, Xiaocao didn't even glance at him.
When the others heard this, they had no idea what expression to put on their faces. Logically, they should be happy, after all, it was really not easy for Mrs. Du to get pregnant again. However, looking at Mrs. Du's situation, getting pregnant was not necessarily a good thing.
"Fourth girl, are you sure?" It's not that I don't believe some things, but I'm just not sure whether they are good or bad. I always want to confirm it again, or perhaps I want to get a clearer answer from others.
"That's right. I've been dealing with gynecology the most before. But... Grandma, I suggest that this baby be aborted. Second Aunt's health is really..."
"What? Abort—" Wenren Zhongyong was furious. "I have been waiting for the legitimate son for more than 20 years. Who dares to touch him?"
Xiao Cao turned her head abruptly and looked at Wenren Zhongyong, her eyes like knives, "Shut up, no one is talking to you." It's just an embryo now, and it's a legitimate son? You're crazy!
Wenren Zhongyong was startled at first, then he was furious, "You bastard, how can you talk to an elder like that? You are indeed a wild girl from the market, you don't know the etiquette and have no manners. You should learn some manners before entering the family tree. You are so rude and disrespectful. If outsiders knew about it, wouldn't it be a disgrace to our Wen family?"
"I can be a member of the Wenren family, or I can be someone other than the Wenren family. I can still live well without the Wenren family. Don't use your status as an elder to pressure me. I won't take it." Xiaocao was not afraid at all and started to fight back. "When it comes to bringing shame to the Wenren family, you are the first to bear the brunt of it."
"Asshole..."
"Shut up and stay away!" Madam Wenren pointed at Wenren Zhongyong and shouted angrily. Turning back, she patted Xiaocao with her anger still not completely subsided, "What do you mean you can't be a member of the Wenren family? Don't talk nonsense. Your parents have been looking for you for so many years, day and night looking forward to your return. Aren't you making them sad by saying this?" She didn't say a word of scolding in the end.
Hearing this, Xiao Cao looked at Han apologetically and said, "Grandma, mother, I said the wrong thing, I won't do it again. Second Aunt's body is really too poor, not suitable for bearing a child. Not to mention that the fetus is very unstable now, and she may miscarry at any time. It is extremely difficult to keep the baby. Even if she is lucky enough to keep it, the risk during delivery will be very high. If it goes wrong, there will be two lives. Even if she is lucky enough to give birth, the child will definitely be born with congenital deficiencies or even defects. Such a child..."
Even a healthy child may die because of a small problem, let alone a sick child.
At a time when the child mortality rate is too high, the fact that Wenrenjia has so many children can really be considered a blessing from God.
Madam Wenren was in a dilemma for a moment. No matter what, her daughter-in-law would not be as important as her son. The reason why she stood on Mrs. Du's side was because her son had gone too far and even lost the most basic manners of a man.
However, she also knew the obstacles in her son's heart. Mrs. Du finally got pregnant again. There was always a glimmer of hope despite all the difficulties. However, she couldn't ignore her daughter-in-law just because she didn't know the gender of the child and the future was not promising...
"Grandma, they say you reap what you sow. If you sow beans, do you think it's possible to grow melons? If no melons grow, then you blame the soil. Isn't that ridiculous?"
Whether the child is a boy or a girl is determined by the man rather than the woman, and the probability is originally 50-50. If you really can't give birth to a boy, you can only say that you lack a little luck in this regard. How can you force it
Every child is a gift from God. Compared to those who cannot be born at all, this is such a blessing.
"It is already a huge risk for a woman to bear a child. How wronged is it that she has fought so hard to give birth to a child, but is criticized just because it is not a boy?"
Xiao Cao glanced at Wenren Zhongyong calmly and continued to speak slowly...
"If you really want a boy, you should take good care of him. As long as you are healthy, you won't have to worry about not getting pregnant. You can just keep having children. If you can't even take good care of your body and still insist on having children, then you are committing a sin. If you commit too many sins, you won't be afraid of not having a son."
Although Xiaocao didn't mention anyone by name, what he said was not much different from pointing at Wenren Zhongyong's nose and cursing him.
"Xuan'er!" Han shouted to stop her. No matter what the old lady's attitude was, he was her son. She could beat and scold him, but that didn't mean others could do the same. All mothers had the same mentality.
However, regardless of other things, Xiaocao's words themselves are really touching. In this world, if a woman cannot give birth to a son, it is all her fault. Even the woman herself will think that she is not good enough, but she never knows that there is such a saying. But, thinking about it carefully, it seems to be true - you reap what you sow!
