Old Man laughed a bit, this Wang Shouwang really was a true man, bold and willing to assu responsibility. If only he wasn’t the brother-in-law of Gao Yuzhu, the old man would have liked to befriend him, what a pity!
Because Gao Yulan refused to get up, Wang Shouwang used a bit too much force, causing Gao Yulan to stagger and fall into Wang Shouwang’s arms. Her complexion instantly turned pale, cold sweat poured down, she bent over holding her stomach and groaned, Wang Shouwang, frightened, quickly supported his wife, asking her what was wrong?
Old Man also felt sowhat at a loss, what was going on? Why all of a sudden did her stomach hurt, it didn’t seem like she was faking it.
Gao Yulan was in such pain that she couldn’t speak, and Wang Shouwang had no idea what to do. He tried to carry his wife to the hospital, but Gao Yulan couldn’t be moved at all; any movent made her pain even worse.
Tian Sisi was also frightened, her sharp eyes spotted the bloodstain on Gao Yulan’s trousers. Now the weather was hot, people wore light clothing, and Gao Yulan had on a pair of light-colored pants today, so that patch of red was especially noticeable.
Although she hadn’t had children in her previous life, she hadn’t been a stranger to pork despite never seeing a pig run, so after a mont of thought, she understood that Gao Yulan was probably pregnant. Excitent coupled with excessive force might very well have caused a risk to the pregnancy.
"Grandpa, Auntie is bleeding, I’ll go call Granny."
Tian Sisi couldn’t say it outright, and could only pretend to be a startled child as she shouted, dashing outside to call Granny Zhao. Granny Zhao was washing clothes by the well, banging the clothes washing bat, and thus didn’t hear the commotion inside.
Granny Zhao saw Tian Sisi running out with a face full of panic (truly scared), startled, she thought sothing had happened inside, quickly wiped her hands clean, and asked her what was wrong.
"Granny, Auntie is bleeding, her stomach hurts, go take a look quickly, I’m going to call Daddy." Tian Sisi said hastily, then dashed off to call He Xuewen, who knew a bit of dical knowledge and should have so way to help.
Before Granny Zhao could react, she saw her granddaughter run off again like a shot. She didn’t have ti to think much of it and hurried into the house. By this ti, Wang Shouwang and Gao Yulan had also understood what was happening under Tian Sisi’s prompting. Wang Shouwang was carrying Gao Yulan, rushing her outside, while Old Man awkwardly stood to the side, finally breaching a sigh of relief upon seeing Granny Zhao enter.
"It’s good you’re here. Yulan may have a threatened miscarriage, take a look quickly, will you?"
Only then did Granny Zhao understand what her granddaughter ant by stomach pain and bleeding. She was startled too; if Gao Yulan miscarried in their house, Gao Yuzhu might think up so crooked ideas. Her expression also seed a bit uneasy.
Gao Yulan also regretted in her heart; if she had known she was pregnant, she certainly wouldn’t have gone to soone else’s house inviting dislike.
"Uncle Tian, Aunt Tian, this has nothing to do with you, it’s my own carelessness, I truly didn’t know I was pregnant, I’m really sorry." Gao Yulan said these words with difficulty, her complexion grew even whiter, and her hair was soaked.
"Yulan, please don’t talk anymore, I’ll take you to the hospital. Uncle Tian, Aunt Tian, bla for today’s incident, please act as if we two had never co here."
Wang Shouwang hated himself to death, it must have been because he was too forceful just now. If anything happened to Yulan, what would he do?
Upon hearing the couple’s words, Old Man and Granny Zhao’s expressions finally improved a bit. Granny Zhao hurriedly brought out a mat from the inner room, placed it on the ground, and asked Wang Shouwang to lay Gao Yulan on it, also telling her to take deep breaths and relax.
Perhaps it was seeing Granny Zhao, an older woman, that allowed Gao Yulan to rely on soone, and she beca less tense. Under Granny Zhao’s guidance, she felt the pain in her belly ease a lot and her complexion wasn’t as pale as before.
Only then did Granny Zhao start to relax, it didn’t seem like a miscarriage, just a case of fetal distress; it probably wasn’t anything serious. She softly said to Gao Yulan, "It’s fine, I’ll go and cook you a bowl of brown sugar egg, eat it and you’ll be alright. Close your eyes and rest for a while."
Hearing Granny Zhao say this, both Gao Yulan and Wang Shouwang felt reassured. Embarrassed, Gao Yulan said, "Aunt Tian, I’m truly sorry, I will lie down for a while and then go back. You don’t have to cook the brown sugar eggs for ."
Brown sugar eggs were a precious item, and Gao Yulan imdiately declined. Granny Zhao told her to talk less and covered her with a thin quilt, "You just rest here; I’m going to boil the eggs now, and later I’ll go find Mama to co and take care of you."
Granny Zhao hurried out, and Tian Sisi also ran in panting, tugging He Xuewen along, "Daddy, it’s this auntie, she had severe stomach pain and bled a lot, please check on her."
"Xuewen, you’re here, take a look at Yulan. I think it’s nothing serious, just fetal distress. A bit of rest should do." Granny Zhao told He Xuewen.
Upon hearing this, He Xuewen quickly approached Gao Yulan and gestured for her to extend her hand. Wang Shouwang thought it was a husband from the village, and hurriedly asked his wife to extend her hand for the husband to examine. After taking her pulse for a while and asking Gao Yulan a few questions, He Xuewen then told Wang Shouwang:
"There’s nothing wrong. Your wife isn’t far along in her pregnancy, just over a month. Mainly it’s because she has been too worried and hasn’t rested well lately, coupled with the sudden forceful impact just now. She should rest in bed now, eat more nutritious food, and after the first three months, it should be fine."
After listening to He Shouwen’s words, Wang Shouwang finally put his mind at ease. He remorsefully said to Gao Yulan, "Yulan, it’s all my fault. I’m just not careful enough. If I hadn’t pulled you so hard just now, you wouldn’t have... You don’t need to worry about household matters anymore. You can trust ; I will definitely make sure you and the child have a good life."
Yulan smiled and consoled her husband, she didn’t bla him at all, she didn’t even know she was pregnant herself—how could Shouwang possibly have known?
Tian Sisi was observing Wang Shouwang on the side, he didn’t seem like a terribly vicious person. Why then, in her previous life, did he only listen to Gao Hongi’s side of the story and treat Jin Duofu, a child of barely ten years old, so cruelly?
Tian Sisi didn’t know that Wang Shouwang absolutely could not be considered a good person, brutal and ruthless. Indeed, the rumors about him having killed soone were true. Therefore, it was entirely possible that in her previous life, Wang Shouwang, in an effort to prove himself, could have cruelly competed with a child.
However, Wang Shouwang did have one good quality, which was being protective of his family and subordinates. He was fiercely protective, and he was a man of his word and valued loyalty. That’s why his followers were very loyal to him, ready to respond to his call at any mont. If it were a ti of chaos, Wang Shouwang might even beco the leader of a bandit stronghold.
Granny Zhao quickly cooked a steaming bowl of brown sugar eggs, bringing it over with three eggs set in the dark red sugar water. She asked Wang Shouwang to feed Gao Yulan, and then she hurriedly ran out to notify Yu Lan’s mother. (To be continued.
