Mrs. Kong has no ambitions. Her dowry is quite generous, which is enough for her expenses. Besides, the accountant in the house will not hold back the money and things she wants. After living for half her life, she has never been embarrassed by money.
Therefore, even if she knew that the master must have benefited from not caring about it, she was not happy.
Why should such a good son of his own suffer this injustice?
She thought so, and immediately pulled the man aside and said this.
Mr. Kong knew what she wanted to say just by looking at her expression, and listened patiently: "Ke Jian doesn't have to suffer any injustice! He can take concubines. If something happens to the Lin family's own girl, no matter how many women Ke Jian finds,
The Lin family doesn’t dare to make trouble.”
Mrs. Kong disagreed: "But... this is my legitimate wife!"
"What does it matter whether we are direct children or not?" Mr. Kong lowered his voice: "That business makes nearly ten thousand taels of profit every year. Originally, the family received half of it, but now it's all given to us. It's a good deal!"
Seeing that his wife was still talking... The two of them were muttering here. The Lin family must have guessed that they were arguing about this. The things that had been discussed would never be changed. If he continued to talk, the things that he, as the head of the family, could not make the decision would be decided by the Lin family.
Looking at it, doesn’t it become a joke?
Immediately, he said rudely: "This matter has been decided!"
After saying that, he turned around and left.
Mrs. Kong was so angry that she stamped her feet, but she couldn't help it. The matters discussed between the two families could not be changed by her own unwillingness.
Mr. Kong didn't have much objection to the fact that he could not divorce his wife and continue to be with Lin Haiyin and his wife. After all, the relationship between the two was there. And what happened to Lin Haiyin was not her intention, but
A strange combination of circumstances.
However, it was difficult for him to accept it for a while, and he did not want to get close to Lin Haiyin for the time being.
*
On the other side, Lin Haiyin kept holding her heart, like a prisoner waiting for the final sentence. She couldn't sit still at all, and kept walking in the room. When she realized what she was doing, her lower abdomen was already aching. And it was getting worse.
Painful trend.
She didn't want to keep the child, but she didn't want to make herself suffer any more. She quickly sat down and drank some hot water.
This was a bit uncomfortable, and suddenly she heard the sound of greetings outside. She looked up and saw the Kong family walking in through the window.
As I got closer, I could see their different expressions.
Lin Haiyin was very nervous.
The Kong family couple entered the door, but Mr. Kong only stood outside the corridor.
Lin Haiyin waited for them to speak. After waiting for a long time and there was no movement, she raised her head in confusion.
It was Master Kong who said: "I went to discuss it with your parents. They are not willing to accept a daughter who has been divorced and go home. Even if you and Ke Jian are just a couple in name, they still want you to stay in my Kong family.
"
Lin Haiyin's complexion changed slightly.
Her parents loved her very much, but she wasn't sure if she could match the reputation of the Lin family.
She forced a smile: "So, what's the result of the discussion?"
"You can continue to be my wife of the Kong family, and we are still in-laws. But... if you make a mistake, you are wrong. Even if you don't make a mistake intentionally, you should still feel ashamed." Mr. Kong said mercilessly: "Be frugal in the future.
No matter what he does, you should stay out of it. Even if he wants to take a concubine, it is none of your business. In short, you are only his wife in name."
Lin Haiyin's complexion turned pale.
If a woman is loved by her parents at home for the first ten years, she can live freely. After getting married, her husband and wife must be harmonious to have any hope. Even if her father-in-law and mother-in-law are mean, they are elders and will leave sooner or later.
As long as a man cares about him wholeheartedly, he will surely survive one day. If he is unlucky and the relationship between husband and wife is average, then he has to look at the children. After the man is gone, he can rely on the filial piety of his children to enjoy his old age.
Lin Haiyin was quite comfortable in her natal family, and her husband and wife were harmonious after getting married. Even if her parents-in-law were a little dissatisfied with her, they never made it difficult for her. She thought she would be stable in her life... But now, her husband doesn't even
If she is willing to step into this door, her parents' family must have paid some price in order for her to stay. If her father-in-law said so, her parents' family should not care about her anymore!
As for the child... Her husband is outside the door at the moment, but he refuses to look at her. He doesn't even want to be in the same room, so how can he still have a child?
For a moment, Lin Haiyin felt that there was no bright future ahead, and her heart was full of despair. But she was not courageous enough, and she did not dare to seek death.
She was unwilling to give in: "Husband..."
Mr. Kong was just outside the door. He heard her call, but he didn't react at all. Let alone entering the door, he didn't even respond.
Lin Haiyin waited for a long time, but saw no movement at the door. She felt more and more uncomfortable. Suddenly, a sharp pain rose in her belly. The pain made it difficult for her to breathe. She couldn't sit still, and she fell to the ground uncontrollably.
"My stomach hurts so much!"
Except for the two maids on the side who tried to help her, no one else in the room responded at all. The Kong family couple even had indifferent expressions on their faces, as if they were pretending to be pretending again after looking at her coldly.
Lin Haiyin tried his best to take a few deep breaths, but it failed to relieve the pain. Instead, the pain became more and more painful. It was so painful that his eyes went black and he almost fainted.
"doctor!"
Still no one moved.
Lin Haiyin burst into tears from the pain: "I am really in pain. If the doctor doesn't come... I will..."
Before she finished speaking, her body softened, her head fell backward, and she fell unconscious in the maid's arms.
The maid was stunned, touched her face, and said tentatively: "Master, it doesn't look like she's just pretending."
Mr. Kong waved his hand and said, "Call a doctor." He did not leave, but sat on the chair.
Mrs. Kong was particularly angry at her cheap daughter-in-law. In the past, whenever her daughter-in-law cried out in pain, the whole family would be as busy as a spinning top, for fear that something might happen to her. But now that it happened again...she really thought she was the young lady pregnant with the Kong family's direct grandson.
I have to expose her today!
The couple had similar ideas, and Mr. Kong outside the door also thought that Lin Haiyin wanted to beg him to be soft-hearted and was deliberately pretending.
One thing does not bother the two masters, whether what happened to others is easy to talk about or not. Therefore, Chu Yunli was invited over again.
Seeing the unconscious young woman on the ground, covered in cold sweat and trembling slightly all over, Chu Yunli raised her eyebrows: "How long have you been unconscious?"
"Just half an hour!" Mrs. Kong's expression was not good: "I can really lie down, and I can still endure it after such a long time. Wake me up quickly..."
Chu Yunli was quite speechless. She stepped forward and opened her eyelids to take a look and said, "I'm really fainted." She checked her pulse again and said, "There's fetal movement."
Mrs. Kong looked surprised: "Are you really dizzy?"
Mr. Kong frowned: "Is the fetus really moving?"
Chu Yunli nodded.
Master Kong said without thinking: "This evil creature shouldn't exist. Let's take this opportunity to make a bowl of medicine for her!"
"Probably not." Chu Yunli looked helpless: "She was hit too hard. If she were to have a baby now, she might lose two lives."
It wasn't that she wanted to keep the child and pay attention to the nonsense, but that Lin Haiyin really had the will to die. The pain she was suffering now had reached Lin Haiyin's limit. If the pain continued, he might not be able to wake up.
The Kong family couple looked suspicious.
Mr. Kong frowned: "Doctor Dong, if you are asked to prepare the medicine, just do it." Too many things happened today, and he was not in a good mood, which showed in his tone.
Chu Yunli is a person who takes soft things rather than hard ones. If the family talks nicely, she will patiently explain the pros and cons. As a result, Kong Kejian looks bossy, and her stubborn temper suddenly rises: "Not to mention that I don't deserve to be defeated.
Pregnancy medicine hurts people's lives, but if she is in her current state, if the medicine is taken, she may die and die twice. I am a doctor. I can treat illnesses and save people, but I will never kill people. Please ask someone wiser!"
She stood up and stepped aside, folding her hands across her chest, not intending to interfere.
She didn't leave in a hurry, because Mr. Kong picked her up and she had to be sent away!
The Kong family consider themselves respectable, except when they have to grovel in front of officials. When ordinary people in the city see them, they all treat them with respect. Dong Sanqi, on the other hand, dares to choke.
The couple's expressions were not very good, and Mr. Kong said angrily: "Come here, go ask the doctor."
Someone immediately responded and left.
A quarter of an hour later, a doctor came.
The one who came was Dr. Zhou, who was good at recuperating babies. He was not so quick. The steward who went out to ask for the doctor met someone as soon as he arrived at the door and immediately arrested him.
Doctor Zhou noticed the stagnant atmosphere in the room as soon as he entered the door. When he saw the woman on the couch covered in cold sweat, he had some realization. After taking his pulse, he shook his head and said, "This child can no longer be saved."
Mr. Kong breathed a sigh of relief: "Then there is no guarantee. Sir, it's more important. Please help the doctor prepare medicine to save the person."
Doctor Zhou took a step back and said, "I'm sorry, she was hit too hard and may not be willing to wake up."
Master Kong turned his head and glared at Chu Yunli: "Can you save her?"
Chu Yunli nodded: "We have to save the child as well."
We just discussed the matter with the Lin family, and the Kong family agreed to let Lin Haiyin continue to stay. The pledge was already drawn in black and white on the paper, explaining the profit of the business. When Lin Haiyin got into trouble, the Lin family would definitely not be able to
promise.
Mr. Kong didn't hesitate for long: "Then, Doctor Dong, could you please help me save people?"
Chu Yunli didn't move: "This is another price."
Hearing this, Mr. Kong was speechless for a moment. In this short period of one month, Dong Sanqi had already received a lot of benefits... but all of them had to be given by the Kong family.
As soon as Mrs. Kong saw the man's expression, she guessed what he was thinking and asked first: "How much money do you need before you are willing to make a move?"
Chu Yunli smiled and said: "Well, Master Kong will definitely not let me down."
Master Kong breathed a sigh of relief. She didn't ask for any money, so just give her whatever you want, but give her less.
Chu Yunli added with a half-smile: "As long as it's no less than before."
Mr. Kong almost burst into tears. He had been very generous in his previous dealings, at least one hundred taels were given.
If this money was used to protect his own grandson, he would grit his teeth and pay it. But he didn't know where this scoundrel came from, and Lin Haiyin was living with another man. He couldn't figure out why he spent so much money to save these two people.
.
When Mrs. Kong suspected that Dong Sanqi had seduced her master, she had heard about the rewards her grandpa had given her. When she heard this, she was so angry that she said, "Come here, go ask the doctor again."
After Dr. Zhou was sent out, Chu Yunli suggested: "Why don't Master Kong also find a carriage to take me away? Your family doesn't want this child anyway, and he probably won't come looking for me again in the future."
Master Kong said nothing and did not ask the coachman to prepare.
Another half hour later, this time three doctors were invited.
In the eyes of the Kong family, the combined remuneration of the three doctors was less than 30% of a hundred taels, which was much more cost-effective than hiring Dong Sanqi.
However, after feeling the pulse, no one dared to prepare the abortion medicine.
Lin Haiyin was so shocked that he fell into a coma. If he took a dose of the medicine, he might be completely cold. If he didn't use the abortion medicine, he might still have a glimmer of hope.
After listening to the doctor's words, Mr. Kong couldn't help but glance at Chu Yunli again and said, "Send the three doctors out."
The doctor came and left, and the room became quiet again. Mr. Kong stood up and walked to Chu Yunli: "Dr. Dong, please save this person."
Chu Yunli raised her eyelids: "Since you don't believe me, just send me away."
"No." Mr. Kong said with a serious face, "She must live. Don't worry, the reward will definitely not be less later."
The medicinal materials Chu Yunli brought were not enough, so she went to the side hospital to prepare a pair, and then boiled the medicine herself and gave it to Lin Haiyin.
After pouring the medicine, she took out a handful of silver needles and started acupuncture.
Mrs. Kong looked at the young woman busy beside the couch and asked curiously: "Is her medical skills really so good?"
Master Kong had already vaguely noticed Dong Sanqi's extraordinary medical skills, and nodded when he heard this. However, Dong Sanqi made money too easily and had a bad temper. Subconsciously, he didn't want her to have a hard time, so he snorted.
He said: "If she can't be saved, then she is a quack who deliberately exaggerated her medical skills. She will sue her in court and let the adults punish her!"
The voice was neither high nor low, and even though they were all in the same room, Chu Yunli couldn't even pretend not to hear it. She raised her hand to close the needle and said, "Master Kong, don't scare me!"
Seeing that the person on the couch looked better, Mrs. Kong asked, "Okay?"
Chu Yunli moved her fingers: "You will have to drink medicine for acupuncture later!"
"Then take a rest first and don't rush back. If it's too dark, you can stay overnight at your house." Mr. Kong had a tough attitude: "As long as you rescue the person, the reward can be discussed."
Suddenly I heard Mr. Kong’s surprised voice coming from outside: “Mother-in-law?”
It turned out that Mrs. Lin had arrived. She came in a fierce manner, followed by a large group of servants... She must have broken in to make such a big noise, but the people below tried to stop her but failed.
Lin Haiyin was lying there not knowing whether he was alive or dead. The Kong family members all felt guilty. Mrs. Kong immediately came up to her and said, "My mother-in-law, why don't you say hello if you are coming so that I can pick you up at the door?"
Mrs. Lin didn't pay attention to her at all. When she saw someone blocking the way, she stretched out her hand to push the person and quickly broke into the house. When she saw her unconscious daughter on the bed, her eyes were so angry that her eyes were red:
"You can't tolerate her mistakes, so don't agree to our master's proposal. Since you agreed and got benefits, you should treat her well. How can you go back on your word?"
The more she spoke, the angrier she became: "I don't ask for harmony between their husbands and wives, and I don't expect you to treat her with the same affection you once had, but... you can't kill someone for anything!"
"My miserable life!" Mrs. Lin could no longer restrain the grief in her heart. She rushed to hold her daughter and cried: "They are all animals of the same family!"
Mrs. Lin's anger can be seen when our wife curses.
But the Kong family was also very wronged. When it came to rescuing people, they were reluctant to part with the money and hesitated, but they still saved them in the end! In addition, Mrs. Lin's words were very clear that the Kong family could not tolerate Lin Haiyin and her son deliberately
It hurt her.
Mr. Kong thought that this matter needed to be explained. However, he was a man and it was not easy for him to argue with Mrs. Lin, so he quietly turned his wife beside him with his elbow.
"My mother-in-law." Mrs. Kong sighed: "She fainted on her own... Yes, if someone discovers such a scandal, 90% of people will not have the face to see others. She felt uncomfortable and thought, it is normal to feel dizzy due to fetal force.
.But those of us who saved people have invited five doctors to come over today. Doctor Xiao Dong promised to save the lives of their mother and son, and they have just given medicine. Please stop cursing, otherwise, I will be angry.
"
Mrs. Lin didn't believe what she said... Originally she didn't know what happened in the Kong family. Her daughter was deceived in Guanghua Temple, so she wanted to bribe the servants of the Kong family to act as her spies.
It's a pity that I haven't been able to find the right person, and no one relented until today. The first news that came out was that my daughter was unconscious.
Mrs. Lin panicked instantly. If her daughter's coma was fake, it meant that she was severely persecuted by the Kong family. If her coma was real, how could she still sit still as her own mother?
Therefore, she rushed over without even changing her clothes.
To be honest, she would rather believe that her daughter was forced to pretend to be in a coma. To be cautious, she took a doctor with her on the way here.
The doctor received Mrs. Lin's eyes, stepped forward to feel her pulse, and then said with a cautious face: "Madam, it is indeed very dangerous. Maybe it is because of the medicine. There is no danger of life for the time being, but when will I wake up... I can't
Make sure. You must not use abortion pills to harm your body at this moment, otherwise, you will definitely lose one body and two lives."
Similar to what the previous doctors said, the Kong family once again recognized Dong Sanqi's medical skills.
Mrs. Lin shed more tears: "Why does my miserable daughter have to suffer such a crime?"
After seeing the doctor off, even the maids retreated. There were only a few masters left in the house. Chu Yunli didn't intend to leave, so she sat on the edge to eat snacks.
No one had the intention to kick her out. Mrs. Lin's face was full of grief and anger: "You made a good promise earlier, why did you force her to be like this when you turned around?"
Mrs. Kong was dissatisfied: "We didn't force her, she fainted on her own."
Mr. Kong sighed: "I'm just telling the truth. Who would have thought that she wouldn't be able to accept it? You can't blame us. She did it herself..."
Mrs. Lin yelled: "She caused this disaster because of you, the heirs of the Kong family. Don't act like it has nothing to do with you. Before I came here, I heard that you wanted the doctor to prescribe abortion pills. This is not right."
You won’t stop until you kill people!”
Mrs. Kong was speechless: "You don't agree with this child staying. I thought he would have fetal force anyway, so by the way."
"This child must be born!" Mrs. Lin gritted her teeth and said: "No one is as important as my daughter's life. If you don't want to raise the child after it is born, then send it to the Lin Mansion, and I will send him to the suburbs to raise him!"
Kong family couple: "..."
Kong Kejian had been standing outside the door, and now he couldn't help but rushed in: "This child can't be born!"
"I don't want you to support me." Mrs. Lin is an elder in front of her son-in-law. In the past, she didn't need to be careful when speaking. She probably developed a habit. Even if her daughter does something wrong now, her tone is not good: "As a man, I have no responsibility."
.When something like this happened to your wife, you didn’t want to comfort her, but you avoided her. In those few steps, you would have died and you didn’t even want to take a second look. I misjudged you."
Mrs. Lin was furious, and Mr. Kong also looked bad: "Hai Yin and I have feelings, and with this child in the middle, I will think of these things when I see him. It is impossible for me to have no grudges.
"
Hearing what her son-in-law said, Mrs. Lin was moved for a moment. However, she quickly came back to her senses.
The son-in-law is willing to forgive his daughter, provided that there is no such child.
But if you want to have an abortion, your daughter will die! If everyone is gone, what’s the use of asking for forgiveness?
"Kejian, Haiyin will die!" Mrs. Lin's voice was stern: "Can't we just give birth to the child and send him away, and then pretend that nothing happened?"
But this thing clearly happened!
Nothing can go by without a trace. Even if this child is sent to the end of the world, he cannot be forgotten by everyone. By then, people in the city will know that the first child of the young lady of the Kong family has been sent away, and
You will wonder why the child was sent away.
When there are too many people talking outside, the Kong family will become a source of conversation and jokes for others. Mrs. Kong was very dissatisfied with this, and just when she was about to speak, her sleeve was pulled by the man beside her.
Master Kong didn't let his wife speak because he knew that his son couldn't accept it. As expected, Mr. Kong turned his face and said, "No!"
Mrs. Lin: "..."
She wiped her tears with a handkerchief: "Even if the couple breaks up, this child will still be born. I heard Haiyin say before that Dr. Dong is particularly good at preserving pregnancies."
She glanced around and finally landed on Chu Yunli: "My daughter's safety will be left to you. Don't worry, the Lin family will never treat you badly."
Chu Yunli immediately agreed: "I have to go and prepare the medicine."
Because she had to take care of Lin Haiyin, Chu Yunli couldn't go home that day. Mrs. Lin thoughtfully sent someone to help her deliver a letter to the Dong family.
In the middle of the night, Lin Haiyin slowly woke up. What she saw was a dim candlelight, and a figure was swaying beside the candlelight. She looked sideways and saw a young female doctor reading a book.
The room was quiet, but she couldn't help but get excited: "Why are you here?"
Chu Yunli raised her eyebrows: "Mrs. Lin asked me to take care of you."
"How is this possible?" When he asked, Lin Haiyin remembered what happened before he fell into coma, and reached out to touch his belly: "Aborted?"
