The man seemed to notice something and said gently, “I’ll go get you some water to wash up.”
Zhu Nuannuan’s gaze followed the man’s movements slowly.
His wheat-colored skin exposed, and the powerful muscles exuded a unique temptation with every movement, along with those long legs—everything was just right.
Zhu Nuannuan quietly swallowed, it was too tempting, she couldn’t take her eyes off him!
Cui Yunhan seemed to notice the fiery gaze and turned to look at Zhu Nuannuan, who had already hidden in the quilt.
“Are you feeling unwell again?”
“No, I’m fine, you don’t have to worry about me!” A slightly anxious voice came from inside the quilt.
Cui Yunhan put on his shirt in an orderly manner, buttoning it up, covering the tempting scenery, coupled with that perfect profile…
Zhu Nuannuan, who was peeking through the gap in the quilt, kept marveling at Cui Yunhan’s perfect figure when a knock on the door suddenly brought her back to her senses.
“Nuannuan, are you awake?”
Zhu Nuannuan quickly lifted the quilt and sat upright on the bed, “I’m awake, come in.”
Niu Guihua, wearing a hospital gown and a face full of guilt, walked in and looked at Zhu Nuannuan.
“Nuannuan, I’m really sorry, if it weren’t for me, you wouldn’t have had to suffer this.”
Zhu Nuannuan grabbed Niu Guihua’s hand and smiled, “Sister-in-law, aren’t I doing well?”
Niu Guihua’s tears instantly slid from her eyes, and she said, choking, “Nuannuan, if it weren’t for you, I’m afraid I would have jumped down long ago. You are my own sister from now on.”
Zhu Nuannuan picked up the handkerchief placed aside and wiped the tears from Niu Guihua’s face.
What happened again while she was asleep? How did it make Sister-in-law Guihua so sensitive? The deathly silence in her eyes also turned into sadness and confusion.
“Nuannuan, I’ll go out and buy you some food. You and your sister-in-law chat first.” Cui Yunhan, noticing the abnormality, took the opportunity to walk out.
The door closed, and Zhu Nuannuan opened her mouth, “Sister-in-law, did something happen again? Where’s Tian Dage?”
The sadness in Niu Guihua’s eyes became more obvious, “His old mother is making a scene, insisting on me and Lao Tian getting a divorce. I really can’t stand it anymore, so I let Lao Tian go back.”
The ordinary words made Zhu Nuannuan feel an ominous premonition in her heart.
“Sister, my family’s affairs can’t be explained in a few words. The worst thing is that I dragged you into it.”
Zhu Nuannuan’s mind was racing, and for a moment she didn’t know whether to persuade them to reconcile or to separate.
People in this era have old-fashioned ideas, and divorce seems to be disgraceful. No matter what kind of family it is, they will never choose divorce unless it is absolutely necessary.
It’s okay for men, but for women, it’s worse than death. If they return to their parents’ home, they will have to endure the villagers’ scolding and ridicule as soon as they enter the village, and they can’t even avoid seeing people.
“Sister-in-law, what are your plans for the future?”
A trace of confusion flashed in Niu Guihua’s eyes. She really didn’t know where to go now.
If she died, it would be the end of it, but when she thought of what the old woman had done, she couldn’t swallow her anger. As for whether or not to divorce, she hadn’t really thought about it.
Looking at Niu Guihua, who was silent, Zhu Nuannuan guessed her thoughts and comforted her, “Sister-in-law, the main contradiction between you and your mother-in-law is because you don’t have children. If you solve this problem, all the contradictions will disappear.”
Niu Guihua sighed and said with a wry smile, “Sister, it’s not that I don’t want to have children, it’s that I really can’t get pregnant.” As she spoke, Niu Guihua’s eyes turned red.
“I’ve seen many doctors and taken a lot of medicine, but I just can’t get pregnant. Nuannuan, I dream of having a child for Lao Tian, boy or girl is fine.
But my stomach is really disappointing. It’s my fault. I’ve implicated Lao Tian and made him suffer all the scorn.”
“Sister-in-law, if you believe me, let me take a look at you.”
A trace of hope flashed in Niu Guihua’s eyes, but it was quickly replaced by despair, “Sister, I don’t want to implicate you.”
Zhu Nuannuan smiled and said, “What’s the matter with implicating or not? There are only two of us here. I’ll take a look at you first, maybe there will be a way. Even if there is no way, no one will know.”
“Then let’s try.”
Niu Guihua didn’t have much hope, but she still stretched out her arm.
Zhu Nuannuan took her pulse and carefully felt the changes in Niu Guihua’s pulse. After having a bottom line in her heart, she changed to the other hand.
Niu Guihua didn’t dare to speak, but there was an expectation in her eyes that even she herself didn’t notice.
“Sister-in-law, stick out your tongue and let me take a look.”
Zhu Nuannuan looked at Niu Guihua’s tongue coating, and combined with the pulse just now, she immediately knew what the reason was.
People’s minds are not yet open, and even gynecological masters dare not practice medicine openly. Some are forced to change careers, which gives quacks a chance.
Because there are fewer and fewer gynecologists, many problems cannot be effectively solved and accumulate over time, which leads to serious illnesses.
And Zhu Nuannuan was influenced by her grandfather since she was a child, and can observe a person’s disease based on the pulse, tongue coating, and complexion, and then prescribe the right medicine according to the physique.
Sister-in-law Guihua originally had cold air entering her body, and she only needed to expel the cold air, but because she had been eating various folk remedies for a long time, the cold air and toxins accumulated, coupled with excessive mental stress, which led to infertility.
“How is it? Is there a way?”
Niu Guihua’s voice trembled a little, looking at Zhu Nuannuan with anticipation.
“Sister-in-law, I already know where the problem is, I can cure it.”
“Really? You’re not lying to me?” As she spoke, she grabbed Zhu Nuannuan’s hand, as if she had grabbed a life-saving straw.
Zhu Nuannuan quickly comforted her, “Sister-in-law, it’s true, don’t eat those folk remedies, I’ll give you a new prescription to get rid of the toxins in your body.
You also have to be more open-minded. When the time comes, the child will naturally come. When the time comes, you can have as many as you want.”
A faint blush appeared on Niu Guihua’s face, “Sister, I’ll be satisfied with just one child.”
“Sister-in-law, as long as you do as I say, you’ll be able to get pregnant in a few months, but this is about fate, you must not rush.”
Looking at Zhu Nuannuan, who was full of confidence, Niu Guihua saw hope again, “I’ve been waiting for so many years, I can still wait a few months.”
After speaking, she seemed to think of something, and her face drooped again.
“Sister-in-law, are you worried that your mother-in-law will make trouble again?”
Niu Guihua sighed helplessly, “To be honest, don’t look at me as someone who doesn’t like to suffer losses, but no matter what, she is Lao Tian’s mother, and I don’t want to make Lao Tian feel bad.”
Zhu Nuannuan understood Niu Guihua’s concerns. Although it is common for mothers-in-law to suppress their daughters-in-law, there are ways to deal with evil mothers-in-law.
