Chapter 116 Worried, I'm going to bring Fu Leyi back.
Many women give birth at home because they don't have time to go to the hospital.
However, some people in the countryside are very old-fashioned and refuse to listen to advice, so they have to use some unscientific methods to produce goods.
In cases of difficult labor, they prioritize saving the baby over the mother, resulting in a high maternal mortality rate.
Women who do farm work for a long time are more likely to have a smooth delivery. How can you expect someone like his sister, who is spoiled and doesn't even bother to pick up a fallen broom, to have a smooth delivery on her own?
They knew their daughter better than anyone.
She's delicate, afraid of pain, and lazy—she's become even lazier since getting pregnant.
She'll lie down if she can, and sit if she can't stand. She doesn't exercise at all. It's no wonder she can't give birth on her own.
Conditions in the countryside are definitely poor. If I get really anxious and can't get into a hospital, I'll have to give birth at home, which could be life-threatening.
It's been over seven months. What if it's premature? What if?
Their eldest son died years ago, leaving only this one daughter in the family, whom they absolutely cannot afford to have any mishaps.
Fu Huaiyi's words were terrifying, and they were terrified.
They didn't even need to call her back; they decided to go pick her up themselves, no matter what she said, they had to bring her back.
Fu Huaiyi and his aunt Zhang Fangfang bought plane tickets and flew there that same day.
It was already dark when we arrived at Pan Hong's village.
Pan Hong's family was having dinner together when they stared in disbelief at the two strangers standing at the door.
"Mother-in-law, what brings you here?"
They couldn't drive their car right to their doorstep, so they hired a taxi, but once it reached the main road, they had to get out and walk.
Unable to see clearly, and stumbling along, Fu Leyi's mother, Zhang Fangfang, was both frightened and exhausted. She was panting heavily when she reached her in-laws' door.
"We've finally arrived, in-laws. Where's my Xiaoyi?"
Everyone in the room was still stunned when they were suddenly confronted, catching them completely off guard.
"Xiaoyi isn't feeling well and is resting in the house."
Zhang Fangfang frowned. "Xiaoyi hasn't eaten?"
"No, she didn't want to come out, so I asked Pan Hong to bring her food in. She's eating it now."
Only after hearing her say that did Zhang feel relieved.
I looked around and couldn't see my daughter. I wondered what had happened.
I had heard from my nephew Fu Huaiyi that she was bedridden during her pregnancy, so I was somewhat prepared.
"Mother-in-law, you haven't eaten yet, have you? What a coincidence! Please sit down and eat." Mother-in-law Wang hurriedly got up and invited them to sit down, while she busied herself serving them food.
Zhang Fangfang smiled and said, "Mother-in-law, you can just fill a bowl for my nephew. I'm going to check on Xiaoyi."
"Alright, then you go take a look first, and come out to eat later."
"it is good."
Zhang Fangfang whispered a few words to Fu Huaiyi, who nodded in agreement and then sat down to eat with the Pan family.
Wang asked her eldest daughter-in-law to serve Fu Huaiyi rice, while she herself put down her chopsticks and led the way for Zhang Fangfang.
Their house is quite large, consisting of a courtyard house that was only built in the last two years.
Zhang Fangfang looked around the house, her heart sinking deeper and deeper.
Two years ago, my son-in-law took the money to start a business, but it failed.
But how much of that money ended up in his mother's pocket is unknown.
Look at these houses, there seem to be quite a few.
“My dear in-laws, Pan Hong and his wife are staying in the best room in our house. Look, this is it.”
Wang stopped in front of a door and politely knocked.
Soon a voice came from inside the house, "Who is it?"
"Pan Hong, Xiao Yi, it's me."
"Mother, come in."
Wang turned to Zhang Fangfang and smiled, "Xiaoyi's rule is that you have to knock before entering the house."
Her humble and ingratiating expression was exactly like Pan Hong's.
Zhang Fangfang suddenly didn't know what to say, so she just smiled awkwardly and followed Wang Shi into the house.
As soon as she entered, she saw her daughter lying on the bed with a big belly, and her son-in-law sitting by the bed, feeding his daughter chicken soup with a spoon.
Seeing this, Zhang Fangfang was somewhat dazed.
When they were at home, the eldest nephew only told the couple how dangerous it was to give birth in the countryside and told them that they must bring his sister back.
On the way here, my nephew said something quite meaningful.
They said that if they cooperated, they would let it go, but if they obstructed her in every way, they would have to take her away.
The nephew just said that without saying it explicitly, but Zhang Fangfang already understood what he meant.
It's not that I think too badly of people, it's just that she only has one daughter and can't afford to gamble.
But now, seeing how well the mother and son treat their daughter, she wonders if they're overthinking things.
Although the son-in-law became their son-in-law for money, his family actually treated their daughter quite well.
On the other hand, if it weren't for money, would a perfectly fine young man become a live-in son-in-law?
Where in the world are there truly selfless people? They have to get something in return, right?
Pan Hong looked bewildered.
"Mom? Why are you here?"
"Mom, why are you here?"
The daughter and son-in-law both exclaimed in unison, expressing their surprise.
Fu Leyi struggled to get up.
Seeing this, Zhang Fangfang quickly pressed her down, saying, "If you're not feeling well, just lie down. I just came to check on you."
Fu Leyi said, "I don't feel any discomfort. It's all the doctor's fault. He insisted that I had signs of miscarriage and told me to rest at home, preferably in bed. I was so bored."
Pan Hong, standing nearby, said, "You should listen to the doctor, that's always the right thing to do. Honey, you should just lie down and rest. Here, drink this chicken soup."
"Ugh, this is so annoying. I'm tired of eating this every day. I'm not eating it anymore. Take it away."
"Oh dear, you can't not eat this!" Hearing that she wasn't going to eat it, Wang Shi was very anxious. "Xiao Yi, this is a free-range chicken raised in our countryside. It's very nutritious. We can only eat it when you come. We usually only eat it on holidays."
"Oh, Mom, I know it's good stuff, but even the best food gets boring if I eat it every day. Take it away, I'm not eating it anymore. My mom's here, I want to talk to her."
She impatiently pushed the bowl away, nearly knocking it to the ground.
Wang caught it quickly, but some still spilled out.
She was heartbroken and said, "Even if you don't eat it, be careful. This is chicken soup, it's very nourishing."
After saying that, she gulped it down herself.
Fu Leyi: "..."
Zhang Fangfang: "..."
"Mother-in-law, how could you eat what Xiaoyi has already eaten?"
Wang laughed and said, "It's alright, Xiaoyi's mouth is very clean, I don't mind."
Zhang Fangfang: "..." Is this something to be ashamed of or not?
Zhang Fangfang felt a strange sense of unease.
Fu Leyi is a little better; it's not the first time, and she's almost used to it.
She told her mother-in-law and husband that she was full and didn't want to eat anymore, and sent them away.
The two men knew that the mother and daughter had something to say, and although they were surprised and suspicious, they didn't say anything.
Wang said with a smile, "You and your daughter must have a lot to talk about, so we won't disturb you. Xiaoyi, say less, your mother hasn't eaten yet."
