Liang Yumei turned and walked away.
Liang Nian, in anger, grabbed her, “You come back here!”
Liang Yumei struggled and hit him with her other hand.
Liang Nian, in a rage, pushed her to the ground.
Wang Xiuzhen, coming back from the workshop to get her menstrual belt, witnessed this scene.
“It hurts…”
Liang Yumei clutched her stomach and cried out.
Liang Nian and Wang Xiuzhen noticed blood seeping through her skirt, and their expressions changed.
“Someone, come quickly!”
Wang Xiuzhen shouted.
Sun Shi was at Jiang Yan’s house, Su Lao Er and others were at the workshop, leaving only Lin Fen at home.
Seeing Wang Xiuzhen’s urgent shout, Lin Fen hesitated before running out, “What’s wrong, sister-in-law, Yumei, is this a miscarriage?”
Wang Xiuzhen’s face darkened, but she couldn’t argue right now.
Because it was indeed possible.
“Big sister, quickly help me get…”
“Okay!”
Without waiting for her to finish, Lin Fen dashed towards the village doctor’s house.
She’s being so cooperative today?
Wang Xiuzhen had even prepared some money to compensate her.
Liang Nian, worried that Liang Yumei and Wang Xiuzhen would resent him, stammered, “Yumei, dad, dad didn’t mean to, if it wasn’t for…”
“You leave!”
Liang Yumei, clutching her stomach, burst into tears.
Seeing Liang Nian still wanting to speak, Wang Xiuzhen yelled, “Didn’t you hear her? Leave our house immediately, or don’t blame me for having Big Girl deal with you!”
Liang Nian was afraid of Jiang Yan and didn’t dare to stay there any longer.
Lin Fen quickly returned with the doctor. Later, Liang Yumei was fine, but she had lost the baby.
Wang Xiuzhen felt it was a pity, but it was too late to say anything. She could only comfort Liang Yumei, saying there would be more children in the future and to take care of her health.
Lin Fen also helped console Liang Yumei.
Exiting the room.
Lin Fen spoke up, “I didn’t know this would happen. If I had known, I would have kept an eye on things. It’s such a pity that a good child is gone.”
“Sister-in-law, don’t say anymore. It’s too late now. Thank you for today.”
Wang Xiuzhen expressed her gratitude.
Lin Fen waved her hand, “No need for thanks, aren’t we sisters-in-law? If you really want to thank me, just put in a good word for me with Big Girl. I really know I was wrong and won’t act like before.”
“I’ll give you money instead. I can’t bring myself to say those words.”
Wang Xiuzhen handed over thirty wen to Lin Fen.
Lin Fen angrily took the money and left.
…
Wang Xiuzhen had work to do and couldn’t stay with Liang Yumei all the time, so she asked Sun Shi to come back and look after her.
After such an incident. Apart from Liang Yumei, the one who suffered the most was Su Jixiang. Just thinking that his own child was killed by Liang Nian before he could even meet them made him want to beat up his father-in-law. “Husband, I’m sorry, I didn’t know I was pregnant…” Liang Yumei cried for so long that her eyes swelled up like peaches. Su Jixiang held her in his arms and said, “Don’t cry, it’s not your fault, I don’t blame you. But in the future, be more careful.” “Yes.” Liang Yumei still felt bad and cried again. Jiang Yan, knowing about this, didn’t visit their house that day, and only came the next day with some tonics. … In the blink of an eye, it was Jiang Ran’s first birthday. On her birthday. Jiang Yan didn’t make a big fuss but invited Jun Shen, Mr. Bai, Ouyang Siyun, and the Sun family. Before lunch. Jiang Yan laid out many items for Jiang Ran’s first grab. The little girl could already walk, taking a few wobbly steps before crawling forward. She reached the place where the items were laid out. Jiang Ran looked at all the things on the ground, looking left and right, seemingly unsure what to choose or not knowing what to pick. “Little sister…” Jiang Ling wanted to help her, but Jiang Yan pulled her back, saying, “Don’t disturb her, let her choose by herself.” “Oh.” Jiang Ling stood to one side. Jiang Ran picked and picked, then grabbed a fake sword, which surprised everyone. But what surprised them even more was what came next. Jiang Ran reached for other items, grabbed two more, shook them, and gave them to Jiang Yan and the others, then went back to grabbing more. Except for Jiang Dahai. Jiang Yan, Jiang Ling, Jiang Wan, and others all received something from Jiang Ran. Mr. Bai chuckled and casually remarked, “This little girl is quite interesting. If she wants to learn martial arts, why not become my disciple?” He said it offhandedly. Then he suddenly thought that this way, he could stay at Jiang Yan’s house every day to enjoy good food. He felt his idea was quite good: “Big girl, would you like her to become my disciple? I can teach her not only martial arts but also medicine.” “My sister is still young; you can ask her yourself later.” Jiang Yan neither agreed nor refused. After all, she wasn’t Jiang Ran. Her life should be her own to choose. “Alright!” Mr. Bai thought this was a good arrangement. Su Xiu was somewhat against it, but after thinking it over, she kept quiet. She called for everyone to take their seats. Jiang Yan toasted Mr. Bai and the others with tea instead of wine and then invited them to start eating. Most of today’s dishes were made by Jiang Yan, with a few made by Su Xin and others. Su Xin’s dishes were decent, but the ones made by the rest of the family were not as good. In the end. All the dishes made by Jiang Yan and Su Xin were eaten, leaving only those made by others. This made Chun Hua and the others more determined to learn cooking well in the future. … The news that Jiang Dahai was brought back home by Jiang Yan soon reached the ears of Old Man Jiang and his family. Having stayed in the medical hall for so long, they thought Jiang Yan would not recognize him anymore. But unexpectedly, they still did. Zhang Shi’s mind started working again: “Old man, since Dahai has been taken back, he surely won’t lack money in the future. We could…” Jiang Zhengde gave her a disdainful look and said, “What nice things are you thinking? After how we treated him, it’s strange if he even acknowledges us!” Hearing this, Jiang Dahe squinted his eyes and said, “Dad, this isn’t necessarily the case. No matter what, you did raise him, right? If he still doesn’t acknowledge you, then you can ask for the money you spent raising him.” “Right!” “After all these years, we can’t have raised him for nothing!” Zhang Shi agreed. Jiang Dashan then added, “And there’s the life-saving grace; if it weren’t for you, he would have died long ago. That’s worth some money too.” Jiang Dahe’s wife, Yang Qingqing, asked with bright eyes, “So, how much should we ask for?” How much. Yes, how much should we ask for? Jiang Zhengde suddenly felt that what they said wasn’t impossible. He took a sip of water and said, “He definitely won’t give too much.” Jiang Dahe said, “Dad, if he doesn’t give too much, we can’t ask for too little either, right? Why not go find him first and see what he says?”
