Chapter 118 - 118 Courage
118 Courage
“What nonsense are you spouting?!”
Du Lin’er and Fang Rui’er were talking quite loudly, so they naturally attracted the attention of the others beside them. Hearing that Du Lin’er’s words become more and more outrageous, Mrs. Ma quickly reached out and patted her back as a warning, but she didn’t really blame her.
It seemed that this was also a question that Mrs. Ma was curious about.
“That general probably doesn’t lack beautiful concubines. In addition, look at what’s in front of him. This woman gave birth to his child. Even so, didn’t he abandon her just like that?!
What a heartless man.” Du Zhou sighed. She really felt that it was a pity. It wasn’t because she cared much about Miss Zhu, but because she really felt that it wasn’t worth it for a beautiful little girl.
Unfortunately, greed blinded people!
Many people only saw the wealth and glory, but not the evil and darkness beneath the surface!
“Mrs. He is desperate to social climb! Now that there’s such a rare opportunity, how can she let it go?!” Mrs. Luo shook her head. She really didn’t want to say another word about this matter. She only felt vexed.
“Let’s not talk about this anymore. Anyway, we don’t have the intention to let our children climb up the social ladder. What’s wrong with enjoying an ordinary yet peaceful life with our family?!
I just hope that when the time comes, Rui’er can find a good husband. He doesn’t have to be rich. As long as our family is safe and sound for the rest of our lives, I’ll be satisfied!”
At this point, Mrs. Luo was about to end the topic, but Du Lin’er seemed to have thought of something and turned to look at Lin Suisui, who was slowly drinking a bowl of soup. She asked curiously, “By the way, Madam Liu, just now, Mrs. He said that that woman gave birth prematurely. Is that true?!”
“Lin’er, don’t talk nonsense!” Mrs. Ma was shocked by her daughter’s words. As she scolded her daughter, she turned to apologize to Lin Suisui with an embarrassed expression. “I’m sorry, Madam Liu. It’s all my fault. I’ve spoiled this girl! She’s just curious. She really doesn’t have any bad intentions!”
“It’s true. She almost had a miscarriage. The child was born prematurely, and the fetus wasn’t in the right position. Moreover, the amniotic fluid broke first. If we hadn’t made a timely decision at that time, it was very likely that the child would have suffocated in the mother’s womb!
There’s nothing wrong with talking about it. Actually, in comparison, women from ordinary families like ours give birth more safely. At the end of the day, wealthy families are not peaceful to begin with. Secondly, because they have too many restrictions, the greatest pain those women had suffered in their lives was when their hands were pierced by embroidery needles.
In addition, they take all kinds of supplements and fear that the slightest exercise will hurt the child, causing many women to encounter problems when they eventually give birth.”
Lin Suisui looked calm as she answered Du Lin’er’s question. She revealed this because there was indeed no need to hide it. More importantly, Du Zhou was pregnant. On the other hand, Fang Liu’er, Fang Rui’er, and Du Lin’er might get pregnant in the future as well. She might as well tell them about it so that they could accumulate some knowledge.
“Then, is that little girl alright now?!”
When Du Lin’er heard Lin Suisui’s story, her face couldn’t help but turn pale. However, although she was afraid, her curiosity overcame her fear in the end. She really wanted to know how the woman inside was doing!
Could she really survive after being disemboweled?!
“She’s fine for the time being, but in such a situation, mothers rarely survive. The reason she survived this time is largely that in this cold weather, her wound didn’t get infected that easily, so she recovered more quickly!
“Secondly, it’s also because she cares about her daughter and isn’t willing to give up! That’s why she endured it.”
When Lin Suisui mentioned the woman, she couldn’t hide the admiration in her eyes. “She’s very tough and brave.”
Hearing Lin Suisui’s words, Du Lin’er finally stopped asking about this topic. She sat beside her mother and sister-in-law for a while before the three of them stood up and bade farewell to Mrs. Luo and the others.
At night, the snow that had stopped fell again.
After dinner, Lin Suisui and the others had no intention of staying outside and enduring the cold. They all returned to their ox carts and packed up to rest.
Over the past two days, Little White seemed to have become especially lazy because of the cold weather. Other than looking for Lin Suisui or Lu Ze to feed it when it was hungry, it slept in the ox cart most of the time.
Lin Suisui reached out and rubbed Little White’s furry head. After thinking for a moment, she looked back at Lu Ze and suggested, “If the snow stops tomorrow, why don’t we take Little White out for a walk?!”
“Alright.” Lu Ze didn’t refuse Lin Suisui’s suggestion. Little White hadn’t gone out to play in quite some time. Moreover, he might be able to obtain some unexpected gains right after the snow had stopped.
“Then I’ll go with you.” Lin Suisui thought about it for a moment and couldn’t help but feel interested. “I heard from my mentor that there’s a very rare herb in the north that only appears on snowy days. As soon as the snow melts and the sun comes out, they disappear with it! My mentor said that he only encountered a few of this type of herb in the north in the past few years!
Since there’s an opportunity, I want to try my luck.”
“There’s such a thing?!” Lu Ze was slightly stunned. This was the first time he had heard of such a herb. A herb that came with snow and dissipated with snow…
“There really is!” Lin Suisui nodded as she explained to Lu Ze with certainty, “It’s a record my mentor saw in the book ‘South Gu Jungle’. Later on, he combined the knowledge from the book with some ancient mystic techniques and really found it!
Anyway, let’s try our luck tomorrow!”
“Okay, then tomorrow…”
Lu Ze nodded and was about to discuss their arrangements to go out together tomorrow, but heard an extremely miserable scream outside the carriage.
