Doctor Li happened to not go out to collect herbs today. He heard that Nanny Lian was looking for him and that something had happened to a certain lady, so he hurriedly followed her. When he saw that the lady looked fine, he breathed a sigh of relief. He bowed first, then said, "Madam, you are looking for me?"
Yang Haiyan respected Doctor Li very much. Doctor Li really cared about the common people, otherwise he would not have been associated with them in the first place, so she said politely: "Please sit down. I want to talk to you about something."
Doctor Li sat down and said, "No, no, Madam, please speak."
Yang Haiyan didn't beat around the bush and said directly: "Doctor Li, we have known each other for more than a year, so if you have anything to say, I will just say it directly."
Doctor Li was very nervous when he heard this. He was most worried that the lady would kick them out. They were capable of surviving outside, but after the robber incident, Doctor Li felt that it was safer to stay in the general's mansion, at least he could protect his daughter. If they lived outside, what if the woman was bullied again? "Madam, please tell me." His voice was unconsciously tense.
Yang Haiyan didn't notice his nervousness, she said directly: "It's like this, my mother-in-law told me today that she thinks Miss Li is very good and wants to find a wife for my second brother Shoucheng, what do you think?"
Doctor Li was really surprised. He had prepared himself to be kicked out, but he didn't expect that. However, what the lady said surprised him even more. He couldn't help asking, "Madam, does the first wife know about my daughter's situation?"
"I don't know." Yang Haiyan said, "My husband and I promised you that we would not tell this matter to anyone, even to our relatives. However, if the two families were to marry, this matter would indeed need to be told, but we would not make any decision without your consent."
Doctor Li stood up and bowed to Yang Haiyan again: "I would like to thank Madam and Madam for their consideration on my daughter's behalf. But let's forget about this matter. My daughter is unlucky."
Yang Haiyan looked at him. What was that
Doctor Li continued, "My daughter's heartache will never heal after what happened to her. Although I am a doctor, I don't have the ability to do that. If her husband's family knew about this, even if they don't care now, what will happen in the future? If she has a child in the future, what if others know that the mother of the child had such an experience and use it to laugh at the child
Madam, I have let it go now. People live in the present moment. So for now, it is enough for me and my daughter to live well. I never think about future generations. This is how I want to live my life. I just want to take care of my daughter. My daughter is not going to get married in this life. She will be a female doctor. As for the future... please take care of her."
Yang Haiyan heard this and sighed, "I know. I will explain it to my mother-in-law. But before my mother-in-law told me about this, Shoucheng had mentioned to me that he liked Miss Li. At that time, I found a source for him, saying that Miss Li would never have children in her life due to her physical condition, and asked him if he minded. Shoucheng is still young and can't make up his mind for the time being, so if he refuses my mother-in-law, how about using this source?"
Doctor Li thought it was okay. "Very good. This way, no one will come after my daughter in the future." Using the reason of not being able to have children as a reason to refuse would not offend anyone, otherwise people would think they were being too picky. "Thank you, Madam, for considering my daughter."
Yang Haiyan said: "Doctor Li, you are too polite. Don't worry, our general's mansion will always be in need of a female doctor." If Miss Li just worked as a female doctor, Yang Haiyan would be willing to let her stay in the general's mansion for the rest of her life and would honor her in the future.
Doctor Li: "Thank you, ma'am."
After leaving here, Doctor Li returned to his yard. Seeing his daughter sorting out medicinal herbs, he felt sad again. How could his good daughter be involved in such a thing
Miss Li heard footsteps and looked back. It was her father who came back. But she saw that her father's eyes were red, so she walked up to him and asked worriedly, "Dad, what's wrong with you?"
Doctor Li shook his head, thought about it, and told her what Yang Haiyan said: "What do you think? If you want to..."
"Dad, this is the best ending." Miss Li said, "I have no plans to get married in this life. I will help Dad to collect medicinal materials and become a female doctor in the general's mansion. This is good. The general and his wife are kind people. It's good to live here for the rest of my life. But I will avoid the second master in the future, don't worry." Speaking of which, she hasn't seen the second master for a long time. Compared with last year, Miss Li has become stronger. She is no longer afraid to run away when she meets a man, but she is still uncomfortable psychologically and doesn't like to get along with men.
…
After getting the approval from Doctor Li, Yang Haiyan went to find Qin's mother. This matter could not be delayed any longer.
When Qin's mother learned that Miss Li was infertile, she felt very sorry and gave up the idea. Yang Haiyan understood this point. The ancients valued offspring. How could Qin's mother agree to let Qin Shoucheng be childless for his whole life
In a blink of an eye, the baby's full moon banquet was over, and Qin's mother took Qin's second wife and Qin Daya back to her hometown. In addition to Qin Daya's affairs, she also went back to her hometown for Qin Erya's affairs. Qin's second wife planned to arrange the marriage of Qin Erya and Li Duogu when Qin's mother returned to her hometown. Qin's mother was a seventh-rank lady, and it was still very prestigious to have her at the wedding.
Therefore, Grandma Qin also entrusted Qin's mother to buy four acres of land, two acres to provide to Qin Daya, and two acres to keep for Qin Erya.
It is really hard to buy land in the countryside. Land is the lifeblood of ordinary people. If they are not really left with no other options, they will be reluctant to buy the land.
It has been a year, and the land that Qin Fang promised to the second wife has not been replenished yet. He has to let the second wife look after it on their own.
In the blink of an eye, it was mid-June.
The baby is two months old.
Two-month-old babies can already identify locations by listening to sounds.
The weather started to get hot in June, so a straw mat was placed in the baby's cradle. Of course, a very thin blanket was placed on top of the mat for fear that the mat would prick the baby's tender skin.
Yang Haiyan fanned the baby slowly with a fan and said, "Little baby, mother is here. I am mother. Do you recognize me?"
Of course the baby didn't understand what she said. He stared at the fan in Yang Haiyan's hand with his eyes and clenched his fist. Then when he heard Yang Haiyan talking, he opened his mouth and smiled foolishly, not knowing what was so funny about the fan.
Nanny Lian said, "The young master has a really good personality."
Yang Haiyan: "How can you tell a baby's personality when he's so young?" She handed the fan to Aunt Lian, who took it and fanned the baby slowly, while Yang Haiyan put her finger into the baby's hand. The two-month-old baby seemed unable to stretch out his hand because he didn't have enough strength, but if someone put something into his hand, he would still hold it. Just like now, the baby held Yang Haiyan's finger, thinking it was a toy.
Nanny Lian said, "Young Master loves to laugh, and people who love to laugh usually have good tempers."
Yang Haiyan looked at him and said, "You really love to laugh, ever since you learned how to laugh."
"You never fail to smile at me." Qin Fang's voice came from the door. He had just finished his shift and the first thing he did was to come to see his son.
The little baby heard the sound again and turned his head to the side, but unfortunately, his vision was limited and he couldn't see Qin Fang at all.
Seeing this, Yang Haiyan said, "Come here quickly, your son is looking for you."
Qin Fang strode over and looked down at the baby lying in the cradle: "Qin Linyang, I am your father, call me father."
Yang Haiyan: "... Can you call for help when you are two months old?"
Qin Fang smiled, looked at his son silently for a while, then picked up a rattle from the side and started shaking it.
The rattle made a dong dong dong sound, which attracted the baby.
Qin Fang: "Do you want to play?" He handed the rattle to the baby.
But the baby couldn't reach out to grab it, and he was willing but unable to do so. Qin Fang saw this and stuffed the rattle into his hand. After becoming a father, he would pay attention to every detail in life. For example, when he came in from outside, he would wash his face and hands first, so as not to touch his son with dirty hands, which would cause any accidents.
The baby seemed very happy to get the rattle. When he was about to smile, the rattle was taken away by his father. Suddenly, the baby's mouth tightened. Qin Fang was happy, shook the rattle a few more times, and then put it in his hand. When he held it, he took the rattle away again.
After repeating it several times: "Wow..."
The baby is crying.
Yang Haiyan quickly patted his chest and said to him, "Good boy, don't cry, mom is here." Then she rocked the cradle gently. Of course, the most important thing was that she didn't forget to scold Qin Fang, "How can you be a father? You even bully such a young child."
Qin Fang: “…” When he was playing with the child, he didn’t see her stop him. Wasn’t she just watching the show? Of course, he didn’t dare to say this. He quickly stuffed the rattle back into the child’s hand, and then said, “You’re a real man, you have so many tears. I’m going out now, we can eat now.” After a day of bullying his son and making him cry, Qin Fang was in a good mood.
The baby was still twitching. He accidentally got the rattle. He didn't cry loudly, but his mouth was still pouting.
Yang Haiyan looked at his little face and said, "My son is so cute." Speaking of which, she felt that she was also guilty and thought it was quite interesting to bully a child until he cried.
After dinner, when it was time to sleep, Qin Fang got naughty and held his wife's legs for a long time, but he didn't get in. Qin Fang was never careless when it came to loving his wife, and he never joked about his wife's health.
Afterwards, he hugged his wife and told her something: "The teacher sent me a letter today."
Yang Haiyan leaned in his arms and asked curiously, "What did the teacher say?" Du Ke was not a person who liked to chat about family matters. When he wrote to her, something must have happened in the capital.
Qin Fang said: "The emperor is choosing a study partner for the second prince. Guess who he chose?"
