It is appropriate for a married woman to return to her parents’ home.
It's just that some families are reluctant to return the gifts from their parents' families, or they are too busy at home to spare time, so they return less often. Those are ordinary families, and lintels like the Confucius House don't have this worry at all.
Besides, Lin Haiyin didn't make this trip for no reason. She was pregnant and wanted to see her mother.
If this is stopped, what should I do if there is a movement of fetal air?
Mr. Kong’s face was full of confusion: “Dad?”
Mr. Kong had a sullen face: "It's okay if you insist on taking it back. The ugly things were said earlier. Now the child is safely in her belly. After this trip, the child is gone. Then you can pack your things and go home."
Lin Haiyin's heart trembled. Dong Sanqi didn't help her hide it before. Her father-in-law had probably guessed that she didn't want to keep the child, so he stopped her. Therefore, she couldn't answer the question... She was really afraid of her father-in-law questioning him face to face.
She was crying to herself, and Mr. Kong looked surprised: "Dad, why is this happening? Isn't it normal for a married woman to return to her parents' family?"
"She is different." Mr. Kong said coldly: "Now I am still the head of the family, and I have the final say in this family. You can go back, but you must ensure that this baby is safe and sound."
He had a tough attitude. Mr. Kong rarely saw his father so serious about family matters. He glanced at his crying wife and tentatively said, "How about we call Dr. Dong together?"
Mr. Kong pondered and did not refuse.
Seeing the drama, Mr. Kong smiled and said, "Dr. Dong, I'm sorry to trouble you."
"This is another price." Chu Yunli said in a leisurely manner: "At first you asked me to ask for Ping Anmai, but later you paid me for helping with the abortion. It is risky for pregnant people to go out, so you want my help.
If you take responsibility, you must show sincerity."
"It's just a trip back." Mr. Kong frowned: "It only takes more than half a day. I don't want anything to happen to the child. The carriage must be safe and have thick mattresses."
It's not that he is stingy, he actually has to pay money for a trip, and judging from Dong Sanqi's tone, he is asking for a lot of benefits, so naturally he is not willing.
"I'm running for nothing, and I have to bear the risk. I won't do it." Chu Yunli said calmly: "Or, if something happens to this child, don't make trouble for me."
Mr. Kong: "..." She is a doctor!
With the doctor accompanying me, how could something happen to the child?
If something happens to the child, how could the doctor next to him not hold him accountable?
For a moment, he really wanted to lose his temper, and also thought about simply going out to hire a doctor. But when he saw his wife crying sadly beside him, he quickly suppressed all these thoughts and spent money to buy a comfortable life.
It’s worth it. He asked: “How much silver do you want?”
Chu Yunli glanced at Lin Haiyin: "Five hundred taels!"
Even if they are as wealthy as the Kong family, it is not a small sum. Master Kong's eyes widened and he blurted out: "What did you say? Why didn't you go and rob it?"
"My lord, don't be anxious. Aren't we still discussing? If you don't invite me, you don't have to pay me." Chu Yunli waved her hand and walked away: "I don't want to make this trip yet.
"
Lin Haiyin was still crying. Mr. Kong wiped his face: "How about we just go back like this?"
Mr. Kong's face was serious: "If something happens to the child, it's useless to say anything. I must stop this woman from going out."
Mr. Kong later discovered that his father seemed to be very dissatisfied with his wife. What puzzled him even more was that his father's attitude became worse and worse day by day. It happened under his nose. Where did this happen?
, but he knew nothing.
"Okay!" Seeing that his wife was getting more and more sad as she cried, Mr. Kong agreed. At worst, be careful on the way back and slow down the carriage, and nothing will happen.
Thinking of this, he ordered the maid next to Lin Haiyin to start preparing luggage and gifts. Chu Yunli saw it and asked Master Kong: "If I go home now, will you still pay me the balance?"
Mr. Kong frowned: "Of course not, I said seven and a half months, it's only a few days..."
The two were arguing here, and Mr. Kong heard it, and a surge of anger rose from the bottom of his heart. Previously, he had a fetus, but now it has been raised, and three doctors in a year said that the mother and child are healthy. But Dong Sanqi
As soon as he opened his mouth, he seemed sure that something would happen to the child.
It’s nothing like her, after all, she is an outsider and has no love for the child. But even the father implicitly agrees that the child will be lost... It’s too outrageous.
"Dad, what are you talking about?"
Mr. Kong's son, who now knows nothing about it, feels a little helpless. He has no evidence, so it is difficult to identify his daughter-in-law, and he doesn't want to pour cold water on his son who is very happy to know that he is about to become a father.
He thought that he had put in a lot of effort to keep this child, and had made Dong Sanqi laugh a lot, so he showed his kindness and waved his hand: "Go early and come back early."
This look of not wanting to say more made Mr. Kong think too much.
My father seemed to be particularly bored with the couple.
"Dad, what happened?"
Lin Haiyin's hands holding her face became tense.
Master Kong looked at his daughter-in-law and said, "Don't you want to go home? Hurry up."
The maid had packed up her things, and the couple walked out hand in hand. Master Kong saw this and couldn't help shouting: "Ke Jian, why don't you go?"
He was already ready to go out, but he regretted it again. Mr. Kong felt that there was something fishy here, but his wife wanted to go back too much... He hesitated and said, "Dad, we have agreed."
After all, Master Kong still couldn't bear to part with his grandson: "Take Doctor Dong with you."
Mr. Kong: "..." To put it lightly, that's five hundred taels of silver!
It seemed to him that his father was making things difficult for him. However, money was spent on his wife. He said unhappily: "Doctor Dong, are you satisfied?"
Chu Yunli smiled: "Take people's money and share their worries. Let's go now."
The couple walked in front, and she followed. Lin Haiyin looked back at her several times.
It is dangerous for a pregnant woman to walk without looking at the road. Mr. Kong held her tighter and reminded her: "Don't look back."
"I just feel..." Lin Haiyin hesitated and whispered: "It's really not cost-effective to pay so much for just asking Dr. Dong to accompany us. Father, what exactly is it for him to do this?
for what?"
Mr. Kong heard something in her words and asked, "What do you think?"
"My father is a man, and Dr. Dong is a young woman with good looks..." At this point, she paused.
Mr. Kong immediately understood what she meant.
In this world between men and women, isn't that what a man has to protect a beautiful woman?
"No way?" Mr. Kong said in disbelief: "Father has not taken a concubine for many years."
"Many men in this world, as long as they don't die, their hearts will not be at peace." Lin Haiyin said softly: "Doctor Dong is indeed good-looking. There is one thing you may not know. Doctor Dong checks my pulse every day.
Report to father. Do you think it is necessary?"
Not necessary.
So many women have to give birth to children. If they are so careful, who can afford to raise them?
Mr. Kong frowned: "Does your mother know about this?"
Lin Haiyin shook his head: "Maybe mother didn't take it to heart, but since we have seen the clues, we can't ignore it. Unless you want to have another aunt in the family."
Mr. Kong: "..."
The parents have a good relationship. Even when they were young, their father had enough respect for their mother. All women were arranged by her mother. Now there are exceptions. Not to mention what impact Dong Sanqi will have on the family after entering the house, her mother will definitely
It will be sad.
He was dear to his mother, but he couldn't bear to part with her.
Lin Haiyin was silent for a moment and whispered: "If there is really something going on between Dong Sanqi and his father, I'm afraid I won't be so sincere towards you. It's good for our children, let alone taking care of them, and not doing any harm.
.What I hate the most is this kind of woman who knows that a man has a wife and still sticks to her... He gets annoyed when he sees her and can't drive her away?"
"This..." Mr. Kong hesitated: "Father told her to follow us."
"My father is not pure of heart!" Lin Haiyin said plausibly: "Send her away and agree to wait at the intersection at a certain time. Then we can go back together."
This is also a method. The key is that Mr. Kong does not want to make his wife unhappy. Since she insists on this, there is no need to confront her over such a trivial matter.
"Doctor Dong, it's rare for you to come out, take this opportunity to go home and have a look!" Mr. Kong thought that he would ask her to help deal with his father later, so he softened his tone and said: "In two hours, you will wait for us here.
Father won’t know. Don’t worry, you won’t be short of reward.”
Chu Yunli raised his eyebrows: "Young lady's idea?"
The tone is firm.
Mr. Kong didn't feel uncomfortable after being told the truth. To put it bluntly, he was the boss, and Dong Sanqi was paid to do things, so he should be obedient. In fact, he shouldn't even ask this question.
"Go ahead!"
"That can't be done." Chu Yunli leaned on the carriage and had no intention of getting off: "Master Kong asked me to follow you, and I have to go. If you insist on driving me away, then I have no choice but to go back home.
Go in and tell the truth."
Master Kong's face turned dark after hearing this: "You are still so young and have medical skills, why do you have to pester my father?"
Chu Yunli was stunned for a moment before she understood what he said, and immediately laughed angrily. She pointed at the tip of her nose: "You mean, I am pestering you because of your father?"
Mr. Kong didn't answer, which was regarded as acquiescence.
Chu Yunli sneered twice: "If you want to think so, no one can stop me. Anyway, I am innocent. If you have the ability, you can take this to your father and try it."
"Are you sure that my father will protect you?" Mr. Kong became angrier as he thought about it: "My mother has been married for many years, and my father has always respected her. Will he accept other women without her knowing, and I
Mom, I will definitely not accept you, so you should stop thinking as soon as possible."
"Take it easy." Chu Yunli waved her hand: "Originally, I didn't want to have anything to do with dad. So, will you take me to the Lin family with you, or will you let me go back to the Kong family?"
Mr. Kong could see that she was really not moved by money and there was no room for negotiation at all.
The father was already very dissatisfied with his wife. If Dr. Dong was released and the conflict deepened, he would be in a dilemma. After thinking for a while, he immediately made a decision: "Follow us and stay away.
Don’t come near unless ordered.”
Chu Yunli was too lazy to talk to him and lowered the curtain.
The rest of the journey went smoothly, and we soon arrived at the Lin Mansion. The married woman was treated as an honored guest when she returned to her parents' home, and the couple was welcomed in.
Not long after she sat down, Mrs. Lin gave her daughter a bowl of sweet soup: "What you like best, drink it while it's hot."
Lin Haiyin took it with a smile.
Chu Yunli glanced at it, stepped forward and snatched it quickly.
This action was so sudden that everyone looked over. Mrs. Lin's face changed slightly: "What are you doing?"
"Sweet soup, I haven't had it yet. I want to have a taste." Chu Yunli smiled brightly. Before anyone could react, he raised his hand and took a sip.
Mr. Kong was about to reprimand her, but he saw her spitting out.
"It's so bitter." Chu Yunli looked puzzled: "You rich people are really funny. It's obviously a bitter medicine soup, but it must be sweet. This stuff tastes so bad, but the young lady still likes it. Is it because of my tongue?
question?"
No matter how you make the sweet soup, it cannot be bitter. Mr. Kong frowned: "There is something wrong with your tongue."
Chu Yunli handed the soup cup with the lid off to him: "How about you try it?"
Mr. Kong's chest heaved with anger.
He is our son, how can he drink a bowl of soup with someone else? Especially if this person is a woman and is just a doctor from an ordinary background!
"Doctor Dong, although you are young, you still need to know how to measure your jokes."
Chu Yunli sneered: "I see you not only have a problem with your tongue, but you are also blind. Didn't you see that this bowl of sweet soup is black?"
After being reminded by her, Mr. Kong looked at the soup cup. This thing didn't look like sweet soup at all, but more like bitter medicine soup. Between the sun and flint, he suddenly remembered his father's love for his wife.
The unusual attitude of returning to her parents' home, and insisting that Dr. Dong come back with them... Could it be that before they came back, their father knew that the Lin family was going to give this kind of stuff to his wife?
But how could my wife enter this dark thing?
Thinking of this, he recalled his father's words about divorcing his wife, and he was extremely frightened to think about it.
His expression changed several times, and his mind was a mess. Mrs. Lin reacted the fastest, stood up suddenly, and took the soup cup: "My taste is quite special, Haiyin followed me."
As she said that, she picked up the bowl of soup and drank it all in one gulp, and finally said, "Look, it's not bitter at all."
Master Kong saw this and felt more and more strange.
Not to mention whether the soup is sweet or bitter, Dong Sanqi is from a low background. To put it bluntly, she is just like the wet nurse hired by the house and the maid who signed the living contract, a servant who will be released at the time gate.
As a master, how could he possibly drink the leftovers of a person?
Lin Haiyin secretly breathed a sigh of relief and scolded: "Doctor Dong, this is not something you should drink, and this is not the place for you to talk. Please stand aside."
After Mrs. Lin said that, she handed the soup cup to the maid next to her. Chu Yunli stepped forward and grabbed it: "I think there is something wrong with this soup."
The maid wanted to take it back, but Chu Yunli raised her hand to avoid it: "I am a doctor, this is obviously a medicinal soup!" She squinted and smelled it: "Such a strong saffron smell, it is obviously an abortion medicine. If it is
If you like to drink this stuff, I'm afraid you won't be able to have children soon."
Mrs. Lin scolded: "Don't talk nonsense."
"I'm telling the truth." Chu Yunli handed the soup cup to the flustered maid: "They spent money to invite me here, otherwise, I wouldn't be too lazy to meddle in this business."
Lin Haiyin noticed that the man next to her had something wrong with her expression: "Husband, I don't know why she is doing this. There is absolutely no way that my mother would give me abortion pills. Don't believe her lies."
She was so anxious that the circles under her eyes turned red.
However, Mr. Kong did not immediately comfort him as before. Instead, he ran two steps towards the door, caught up with the maid who left with the tray, and snatched the soup cup from it.
The expressions of the Lin family's mother and daughter changed.
Lin Haiyin forced a smile: "Husband, this thing is pickled, put it back quickly."
Mr. Kong looked at her deeply, turned around and left.
Lin Haiyin became anxious and asked in a loud voice: "Husband, if you have something to do, just ask the people below to do it. Where are you going?"
Mrs. Lin thought of something and said sternly: "My uncle finally came to the door, but he just left like this. Come with a few more people and stop my uncle."
Everyone moved. Mr. Kong was blocked by a wall of women at the door. He held the soup cup in his hand tightly and turned around to ask, "So, there is really something wrong with this soup?"
Lin Haiyin looked stiff: "No, you misunderstood."
Mr. Kong immediately said: "Then let me go, and I will go find another doctor to take a look."
"It's just a bowl of sweet soup. Why are you looking for a doctor?" Lin Haiyin looked helpless: "I don't think it's just my father who is influenced by Dr. Dong, you are the same. She is like that charming vixen. With just a few words
It makes you not even trust the person next to you. Husband, my mother has just ordered the kitchen to prepare meals for us, what does it matter if you leave now? I come back once in a while, but I can't cause trouble for them! If you keep doing this, I will be angry."
Mr. Kong looked confused.
Chu Yunli said at the right time: "Mr. Kong, put the soup cup away. Any doctor with some medical skills can tell that it is a bowl of abortion medicine. You can take it out and ask about it."
Hearing this, Mr. Kong, who was still a little confused, immediately looked over. He suddenly remembered that the young doctor in front of him saved the child who even gave up on the pregnancy.
Her medical skills are excellent.
Even ordinary doctors can see it, so naturally she can see it clearly.
Even now, Mr. Kong still doesn't want to believe that his mother-in-law wants to kill the couple's first child.
why?
He thought so, so he asked.
Mrs. Lin naturally refused to admit it: "The abortion pill is simply nonsense. Where did the barefoot doctor come from? He is clearly a quack doctor with ulterior motives."
Mr. Kong really wanted to believe his mother-in-law, but his father acted like his wife would have an abortion when she returned to her parents' home, and Dong Sanqi's certainty when he said it was an abortion medicine, made him unable to believe it.
"Step aside!"
The women blocking the road did not move.
Lin Haiyin was really anxious, tears fell all over her face: "Kong Kejian, you don't believe me? If you walk out of this courtyard today, our relationship as husband and wife will be over!"
Mr. Kong paused and turned around and said, "Madam, I also want to believe you, but how can I believe what your mother and daughter have done? Even if Dr. Dong is not clear with his father, he would never dare to do anything like this."
That's nonsense. Our child has been unsettled since the day he was conceived. Before, I thought it was because he didn't have a close relationship with us, but now..."
He emphasized his tone: "I haven't done anything wrong. The Lin Mansion has no right to force me to stay. Get out of the way!"
"Kong Kejian, this is your in-law's family, what are you doing?" Mrs. Lin's eyes were red with anger: "If you dare to leave, don't come back again."
Mr. Kong pushed the woman in front of him away and rushed out without looking back.
But before he had taken a few steps, several more people immediately surrounded him, making it difficult for him to move the door.
Chu Yunli stepped forward slowly and handed over a silver needle: "Just poke whoever dares to stop you. You are not a prisoner. They have no right to stop you."
Mr. Kong glanced at her and his eyes fell on the silver needle. He took it with a straight face.
By now, he had already seen that neither the Lin family nor his wife wanted to keep this child. Perhaps his father had already understood that, so he said that Lin Haiyin would be divorced if the child was gone.
No matter how much the servants obeyed the orders, they were just flesh and blood. After Mr. Kong poked the two men and made them scream and give in, everyone tried to stop him, but they all deliberately avoided his silver needles.
As a result, the four of them, Master Kong and Chu Yunli, slowly walked towards the outer courtyard.
The Lin family's mother and daughter kept jumping around and threatening Mr. Kong in various ways. When they saw the gate, Lin Haiyin sat down, holding her stomach, and screamed: "I have a stomachache."
This person's voice was so loud that everyone around him looked over. Mr. Kong was the same. Unlike usual when he stepped forward worriedly and asked, he just glanced at it and then looked away. He ordered: "As soon as you get out of the door, ask where there is a medical center nearby.
?”
The attendant agreed.
Seeing that she couldn't stop it, Lin Haiyin cried: "Husband, where are you going? This woman Dong Sanqi has no good intentions. She is inciting feelings among our family. Don't believe her nonsense. If the doctor outside says that, then
It’s an abortion pill, so she must have bought it.”
Chu Yunli laughed out loud: "So, all the doctors in this city have been bribed by me? Madam, I don't think I have that ability, nor do I have that much financial resources!"
Hearing this, Mr. Kong didn't hesitate any longer, he stepped a little faster and said without looking back: "Madam, please wait a moment. I'll talk after I finish reading. I'll pick you up soon."
The carriage was already waiting, and the mother and daughter watched helplessly as several people got on the carriage and drove off.
Lin Haiyin sat on the ground, and neither of the two maids could pull her up. She murmured: "It's over!"
Mrs. Lin had a serious look on her face: "Haiyin, get up quickly, the ground is cold, and you will easily get sick if you sit for a long time."
Two more maids came and almost lifted the person up. Lin Haiyin cried and said, "The doctor will definitely hate me after reading this."
Mrs. Lin comforted her: "You also said that the doctor will be bribed."
Lin Haiyin burst into tears: "What if he really asks all the doctors in the city to check the soup cup?"
