She sighed and took the medicine bag from Zhou Yin's hand, "Then I'll make some medicine for you. Remember to drink it later."
Zhou Yin agreed, thanked Xia's mother with a smile, and took his wife back to the room.
He comforted Xia Xin, who was almost in tears, and said, "Don't be sad. I am my adopted son-in-law. I have only heard of wives who were divorced because they could not give birth to children. I have never heard of husbands who were divorced because they could not give birth to children. Now you
I am the head of the household, and I have to beg you not to divorce me."
Xia Xin was amused by him, but she was really sad. She cried and laughed and said, "You're teasing me again."
Zhou Yin pulled her and smiled: "Just say you are not happy, right?"
Xia Xin softly said "Yeah", but soon became worried again, "You take the problem on yourself, what if your parents say something to you?"
Zhou Yin said: "My parents are reasonable and it's too late to love me, so how can they criticize me?"
"What do people outside say about you?"
"I don't care what they say, and I'm thick-skinned and not afraid of what they say. But you, your face is white and tender, I can't bear to let them say it."
Xia Xin gave him an angry look, but she was indeed happy.
Xia's mother boiled medicine and brought it to Zhou Yin's house every day. Zhou Yin cooled it down and gave it to Xia Xin to drink. Whether it was Xia's mother or Xia Yan, they turned a blind eye and pretended not to know about it.
Seeing their daughter's face rosy and happy every day, Xia Yan and Xia's mother were very happy for their choice...
Especially when their health is not very good.
Xia Yan and Xia's mother are not in good health, especially Xia's mother. In the past five years since Zhou Yin came, her health has been intermittently bad. She always gets sick several times a year, and each time she gets sick, she lasts about a month.
They all appear to be minor illnesses, such as cough, fever, or back pain or leg pain. There is no need to stay in bed. They just need to take medicine and take careful care.
So when Xia's mother had a stuffy nose, sneezed, and felt cold, no one, including Xia Yan, was very worried. They just called a doctor for her and took medicine.
By the time her family members came to their senses, she had been ill for more than a month and could not get better.
Every time her symptoms were getting better, she would get worse again one night. Either her cough suddenly worsened, her throat hurt, or she felt aversion to cold...
Xia Yan felt that it was not good for her to be sick all the time, so she asked Zhou Yin to invite another doctor to come to the house for diagnosis and treatment.
Only then did he realize that she had typhoid fever, and not only her, but Xia Yan was also infected.
The doctor said: "It snowed heavily just now. It's cold and wet. It's really easy for people to get typhoid fever. You should be more careful."
He said: "Many people in the city are sick this month. It is best for patients to stay away from their families to prevent them from getting sick."
Xia Yan recently felt a runny nose and a chill, but he didn't take it seriously. Hearing this, he asked, "Are my wife and I seriously ill?"
The doctor said: "Mr. Xia's illness is not very serious, but Mrs. Xia is weak and has been ill for a long time this time, so there is indeed something wrong with her."
"Please ask the doctor to save her," Xia Yan said immediately, "Don't worry about the medicine, we can use any medicine."
The doctor nodded slightly and gave them a prescription.
Xia's mother did get better after taking the medicine, but soon the weather turned cold rapidly. She obviously paid attention to keeping warm, but the cold aggravated her condition, and she also developed a fever at night.
Xia Yan had recovered from his illness, but his body was still a little weak. Zhou Yin did not dare to let him and Xia Xin take care of him, so he hired a woman to take care of him. He lived next door and watched personally, serving meals and medicine every day. Finally,
Xia Mu's condition improved a bit.
The mother-in-law who came to help said to Xia's mother: "This uncle of yours is so kind. None of my biological sons have this kind of filial piety."
Xia's mother couldn't help but said happily: "This child is very good. After all, he was chosen from thousands of people."
The mother-in-law smiled and said: "I heard that he is making a lot of money outside now. You will be blessed when your daughter gives you a big fat grandson. From now on, you only need to take the grandson with you. Your daughter will be right beside you, so you won't even have to worry about conflicts between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law."
Already."
Xia's mother smiled slightly and said, "The child's affairs will be left to chance."
"Hey, you don't know. I saw your uncle going to the doctor early this morning. It seems that Xin Niang is pregnant."
Xia's mother immediately sat up from the bed, "Really?"
"If you don't believe me, just call someone in and ask."
Xia's mother couldn't bear it anymore and immediately went out to look for her daughter. When she got outside, she remembered that she was sick now and it was difficult for her daughter to get over the illness, so she stopped in a hurry.
Xia Yan, who was in the next room, heard the commotion and came out to see her. Seeing her standing outside the door, he couldn't help but frowned, "It's so cold outside, why did you come out?"
Xia's mother hurriedly asked, "I heard that Xin Niang is pregnant?"
Xia Yan glanced at the mother-in-law and felt unhappy. Xia Yan's mother was recuperating in her room, and she knew who she was talking about.
He nodded and said, "I'm pregnant, but the days are still short, so I can't advertise it widely."
Xia's mother nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, it's still young, so you can't shout loudly. What if the mother-in-law goes away in shock?"
She looked around and asked, "Where are Xin Niang and Zhou Yin?"
"Xin Niang is sleepy and is falling asleep right now. Zhou Yin has gone out to work. Please go back to the house quickly and don't catch the cold again."
Xia Mu could only agree.
In fact, Zhou Yin went out to buy medicine, not only Xia Mu's medicine, but also Xia Xin's medicine.
Her fetal image was not very good, so the doctor prescribed medicine. Because it was still young and the fetal image was not good, he and Xia Yan decided not to tell Xia's mother for the time being after discussing it.
If the child cannot be saved, letting Xia's mother know is just to make her feel sad.
Who knew that the helper would tell Xia's mother so quickly?
But since Xia's mother already knew, she couldn't hide it. Everyone could only create an illusion that Xia Xin was very good, and warned her mother-in-law not to tell her about Xia Xin's situation in front of Xia's mother again.
The medicine Xia Xin took before worked and the child was saved, but Xia Xin's mother's illness worsened and tended to get worse.
After the New Year, it was still cold, and Xia Mu would die.
Xia Yan held her hand tightly and encouraged her in a low voice: "Stay a little longer and wait until the weather is hot."
He said: "Shangzhou is too cold to recover from illness. When we go to a hotter place in the future, you can survive this spring first."
Xia Yan's voice was so low that he couldn't hear it, "Don't leave me alone..."
Xia's mother looked at him apologetically, "I'm afraid I won't survive. I'm surprised that I can survive until now. Fortunately, Xin Niang has a child..."
Xia Yan's tears fell on the back of her hands, and she couldn't control herself for a moment.
Zhou Yin supported Xia Xin and stood aside, looking at Xia Xin worriedly.
Xia Xin's face turned pale. When her mother looked at her, she stepped forward and knelt in front of her bed.
Xia's mother held her hand and whispered: "The ground is cold, don't kneel."
Zhou Yin hurriedly helped her up and sat on the bed.
Xia's mother glanced at Zhou Yin and said to Xia Xin, "I feel relieved when I see how well you are doing. You must take good care of your father in the future."
