Chapter 113 Small Production
As soon as Xu Laosan covered his hand with softness, there was a rapid knock on the door outside, mixed with Xu Laosi's anxious voice.
Ye pushed Xu Laosan away, got up and lit the oil lamp and urged, "It's Lao Si's voice. Go out and have a look. What's wrong?"
Xu Laosan put on his clothes, pulled his shoes out to open the courtyard door, and said in a low voice, "Don't wake up the neighbors. What's wrong?"
"Third brother, the second sister-in-law seems to be pregnant. My mother and Lingzi have gone to the second brother's house to help. My mother asked me to come over and ask my third sister-in-law to go there quickly." Xu Laoshi's face was covered with sweat, and he said anxiously while wiping his sleeves.
"Isn't it okay during the day? Why did you suddenly move the fetal gas?" Ye Shi has put on his coat and followed him out. Hearing this, he was shocked and turned to Xu Laosan and said, "I'll go there now. No matter whether it's good or not, I don't think I'll come back so soon. The children are still at home, and Xing'er is not feeling well today. Don't go out and take care of the children at home.
"Don't worry, I'm not going anywhere." Xu Laosan saw Ye disappear in the night and turned his head to ask Xu Laosi, "How is the second brother now? Are you awake? Is Dad still angry?"
"The second brother woke up halfway, but it wasn't long before he fell asleep again. Later, he began to have a fever. I was afraid that something would happen, so I quietly invited the doctor to come and have a look." Xu Laosi shook his body, as if recalling something scary. He swallowed his saliva before continuing, "As a result, the doctor came out of the room and bumped into my father coming out to the toilet. At that time, I was so scared that my legs were weak."
"Dad scolded you?" Although Xu Laosan himself didn't see the situation at that time, he was already in a cold sweat when he heard Xu Laosi's words and couldn't help complaining, "Why don't you have many intentions and talk to Lingzi in advance and ask her to help you have a good time?"
"Dad stared at me, said a few words politely to the doctor, and then went back to the room." Xu Laoshi was also afraid of talking about this matter and patted her chest repeatedly. "Lingzi had gone to accompany her second sister-in-law at that time, and her parents stayed in the east room. How dare I go there? I only saw that the lights were blown and thought they were all asleep, so I secretly ran out to invite the doctor. Who knew that Dad got up so early!"
"What's wrong with the second sister-in-law? Isn't it okay for a long time?" Xu Laosan asked again.
Xu Laosi shook his head and said, "I don't know what's going on. The second brother just recovered after drinking the medicine. Lingzi cried and ran back and called her mother over. Then my mother asked me to call my third sister-in-law, and I don't know the rest."
Li was lying on the kang at this time, and only felt a strong pain in his stomach. His forehead was full of cold sweat. He hugged his stomach and moaned, and his tears kept flowing, mixed with sweat and wet his hair on his temples.
Old Mrs. Xu sat on the edge of the kang, grabbed Li's hand with one hand, patted her on the shoulder with the other, and comforted her, "Yingzi Niang, don't be afraid. It's okay. It's definitely okay!" With that, he turned his head and looked at the door and complained in a low voice, "Why hasn't Lingzi come back for so long?"
Ye gently boiled water in the stove, which was ordered by Mrs. Xu. She should also see that Li's baby is probably difficult to keep. In fact, Li's own is probably aware of it, but she just doesn't want to believe it.
"Aunuch Guo, please go faster." Lingzi hurried to call up Mrs. Guo, pulled her over, and pushed directly into the inner room, "My mother and second sister-in-law are in it. Go and have a look!"
Lingzi hasn't married yet. At this time, she can't enter the house. She can't help panicking, so she has to go and help Ye Shi add firewood.
After stuffing a few pieces of firewood into the stove pit, Lingzi suddenly remembered that she needed a lot of boiling water when giving birth. Although she didn't understand it, she had seen it at home since she was a child. She suddenly jumped up and grabbed Ye and asked, "Sister-in-law, what are you doing by boiling water? Why do you boil so much water?"
Ye covered Xu Lingzi's mouth and made a silent gesture to her. Seeing that her mood calmed down, she let go and said, "Don't be afraid. It's okay. My mother asked me to boil hot water first and prepare it just in case."
After hearing this, Xu Lingzi understood in her heart. Her body suddenly softened, leaned against Ye's arms and choked, "What's the matter? Is it really God punishing our family and not allowing our next generation to have men?"
"Don't dare to talk nonsense!" Ye was so scared that she broke out in a cold sweat. She subconsciously turned her head to look at the curtain of the inner room and saw that Mrs. Xu didn't rush out. Compared with not hearing what she had just said, she was relieved and said to Xu Lingzi in a low voice, "Lingzi, don't say this. What if your mother hears it?"
Xu Lingzi also knew that she had lost her words. She lowered her head and stopped talking. She silently begged Buddha to worship God in her heart. She only hoped that Li could survive this time and give birth to a grandson for the Xu family safely.
The water has boiled two caulders, and there is still no movement in the inner room. Xu Lingzi was afraid and had to let Ye go in and see what was going on.
As soon as Ye opened the door, he smelled a smell of burning wormwood and suddenly felt bad.
Burning wormwood can be said to be the last way to protect the fetus, but if there is any other way, you will not use burning wormwood. However, Li's baby has just been pregnant. Even if he barely retains it with burning wormwood now, he will be afraid that it will be difficult to be stable in the future.
But these words naturally can't be said, so Ye went in and whispered in Mrs. Xu's ear, "Mom, the water has been boiled. Let me in and see if there is anything I can help."
Mrs. Xu's eyes stared at Li's face. As long as she frowned or bit her lips, her hands and feet were suddenly cold, and she couldn't help whispering, begging for the blessing of the gods and Buddhas, and the protection of the ancestors of the Xu family. She must make her grandson safe, even if she reduces her life or damages her merits. And so on.
Mrs. Guo is not young. She was tossed around in the middle of the night and followed Xu Lingzi all the way. She was already very tired. She didn't expect Li's problem to be so serious.
She solicited the opinions of Li and Mrs. Xu, and then began to burn wormwood for Li, but she looked solemn and did not look relaxed until the burn was over.
Mrs. Xu felt cold when she saw this, but she was still unwilling to ask, "How's his aunt, Yingzi Niang?" Can this fetus be preserved?
"Alas..." Mrs. Guo sighed and said while packing up the burning things, "I'm afraid this tire will be useless!"
"..." As soon as Mrs. Xu heard this, her eyes turned over.
Because Ye was standing behind Mrs. Xu, she happened to pick up the person. She quickly put her on the bed and lay down. She grabbed Mrs. Xu's people hard and kept calling out, "Mom, wake up... Mother, are you all right? ......”
Mrs. Guo had already packed her things, but when she saw such a situation, it was not easy to pull out and leave directly. She poked her head out and said to Lingzi, "Go to the doctor's house quickly and say that your second sister-in-law's child can't be saved and ask him to grab a pair of medicine and bring it back for you."
Xu Lingzi was so scared that she was about to burst into tears. She grabbed Mrs. Guo and asked, "Aunmother, how's my mother?" My mother is not well yet, but she can't stand this..."
Mrs. Guo sighed, patted Xu Lingzi on the shoulder and said, "Your mother has your sister-in-law's care. Go and grab the medicine quickly."
Xu Lingzi turned around and wanted to leave. Suddenly, she remembered something. She turned around and pulled Mrs. Guo out of the room and whispered, "Aunuch, can I ask you something?"
"What's the matter?" Mrs. Guo was also worried that Li didn't know what was going on in the room. Looking at Xu Lingzi's hesitant appearance, she asked anxiously, "Lingzi, you are the one I gave birth, and I watched you grow up. What can't you tell your aunt directly?"
"Aunmother, you know how much my mother is looking forward to having a grandson. Before the tiger was gone, my mother suddenly became several years old." Xu Lingzi no longer hid and said quickly, "This time, my aunt has heard about my second brother. My mother has been so angry that she has fallen ill, and the doctor said that she can't be angry or something anymore. She is also holding on today..."
Mrs. Guo has been giving birth since she was 30 years old. Because she is honest, she has been a little famous in ten miles and eight townships for more than 20 years, and she has seen a lot of things, so when she heard these words, she knew that there must be more, so she did not interrupt and continued to listen to Xu Lingzi.
"My mother has calculated it before. The man said that my second sister-in-law must be pregnant with a son this time, so my mother has been very happy recently. Now if the child is really gone, my mother will be hit one after another, and her body will definitely not be able to bear it, so please do well. In case, if it really reaches that point, you can say that child Zi is a baby girl. Just hide it from my mother. Please..."
Xu Lingzi said that her eyes were red, and she knelt down for Mrs. Guo as soon as she bent her knees. "Aunuch, I know I'm an honest person and can never do such a thing, but what's gone is gone. Although I feel uncomfortable, I can't watch my mother have any more long and cons, so that my family's life really can't live. ."
Mrs. Guo quickly helped Xu Lingzi up. After a psychological struggle for a long time, she gritted her teeth and said, "That's all right. It's up to you. It's reasonable to take care of the people who are still there first."
Xu Lingzi wiped her tears, saluted Mrs. Guo gratefully, and quickly went out to get medicine.
Mrs. Guo took a long breath and turned back to the room for a long time and asked Li gently, "How do you feel now?"
"My stomach doesn't hurt at this moment, but it just sinks." Li Shi lay flat on the kang and didn't dare to move. Just now, her stomachache scared her a lot. After burning the wormwood, she felt a little relieved.
Mrs. Guo knew in her heart that this child must not be able to save it, but she dared not say this now, mainly for fear of stimulating the Li family, and it would be more troublesome if something unexpected.
