Time flies, from spring to summer, to autumn, inadvertently, most of the time has passed, and Yang Wan's stomach has reached the day when the melon is ripe.

Since the morning, Yang Wan's stomach has begun to hurt, but until noon, the child has not been born. On occasions like this, children are not allowed to watch from the sidelines, so Lin Jin was carried to the main courtyard. But she didn't feel at ease and ran over secretly, because Lin Ruhai, Aunt Lin and Jia Min were all guarding here, so she didn't dare to enter the yard, but waited outside.

Listening to the voice coming from the courtyard, looking at Aunt Lin, who was worried and begging for the blessing of the gods and Buddhas, and holding the tea bowl, she pretended to be calm, but the bowl of tea had not been put down since it was served, and the tea in it had obviously been drunk before, but she didn't notice it at all, and Jia Min, who was restless on the side, Lin Jin's heart lifted, is this going to be a difficult birth?

Accompanied by Yang Wan's mournful hoarse shout, "Wow Wow......" A few baby cries followed, Aunt Lin chanted the Buddha several times in a row, and shouted with joy on her face: "Okay, finally born, born!" ”

After that, I heard the stable woman in the delivery room shouting loudly with joy: "Born, born, the second wife gave birth to a son!" ”

Hearing this, Jia Min couldn't hide his sourness and bitterness in his joy, and said hello to Lin Ruhai with a forced smile.

Although Aunt Lin had already known from the doctor that Yang Wan was pregnant with a boy, but not until the moment she was born, after all, her heart was not at the bottom, and now that she was confirmed, she cried and laughed and shouted: "Great, great, our Yang family finally has a queen." ”

"Congratulations to the old lady, congratulations to the old lady and the wife, congratulations to the old lady, congratulations to the old lady and the wife, the second wife gave birth to a boy, white and fat, the little arms and legs are very strong, the cry is loud, and it is ......very strong at a glance" Wen Po cleaned up the mother and child, walked out of the room, and said hello to Aunt Lin, Lin Ruhai and Jia Min.

Before the words fell, Aunt Lin couldn't wait to run into the inner room to see her daughter and grandson, oh no, the grandson went.

When Jia Min heard the word "strong", he thought of Brother Mao'er, who was still sick, and felt that it was very heartbroken, so he forced a smile and asked the servant woman to give a reward, and he had no intention of staying in the east courtyard anymore, and ordered the maids, mothers-in-law and servants in the courtyard to say a few words, and turned around and went back to the main courtyard.

Walking outside the courtyard, she collided with Lin Jin, who was caught off guard and didn't have time to dodge. The eyes of Lin Jin who were black and white were clear, as if he had seen through everything, Jia Min only felt that he was extremely embarrassed, and hurriedly hid his face and left.

But Lin Jin still saw the tears on Jia Min's face that he hadn't had time to wipe away. She sighed involuntarily and cursed this damn world: her son is sick, and the mother does not stay by the child's side, but guards her husband's concubine to give birth to the child, is there anything more tragic than this?

Ignoring the obstruction of the servant, Lin Jin entered the delivery room, only to see Yang Wan, who had just finished giving birth, lying on the carved bed, with a little fatigue on her face, and fell asleep. The newborn baby was tightly wrapped and held in her arms by Aunt Lin.

Lin Jin was clamoring to see her younger brother, but she didn't say anything as she wished, but was kicked out by Aunt Lin.

……

The newborn child was named "Yang Lin", and Lin Jin complained that Lin Ruhai didn't care about the name, but simply added the surnames of the two families together, which was not level.

In fact, she misunderstood Lin Ruhai, this name was seriously thought about by him, the word "Lin" is not only the same as Lin, but also has the meaning of beautiful jade, and the name of the heirs of the Lin family's generation is ranked.

It stands to reason that no matter what Lin Ge'er's surname is, he is Lin Ruhai's heir, and there is joy in the family, so he should celebrate. Even if you don't invite guests, you can't do much, just a small celebration for the family. But in addition to a simple wash, the rest of the full moon and 100 days passed quietly.

The reason why this is so is because in the middle of this year, after Brother Mao had an illness, her health took a sharp turn and became worse and worse; The number of illnesses becomes more frequent, and the interval between relapses becomes shorter and shorter after recovery.

Although Aunt Lin and Yang Wan did not receive the news of the doctor's conclusion, from the faces of Lin Ruhai and Jia Min, as well as the fact that the house not only frequently invited the doctor to come to the door, but also inquired about famous doctors everywhere, and began to burn incense and worship the Buddha everywhere, coupled with the tone of the servants serving in the upper courtyard, they could also guess that eight or nine were not far from ten.

In this case, it is really not good to celebrate the full moon and the hundred days; Moreover, Aunt Lin felt that Brother Lin was a child of the Yang family, and his affairs should naturally be handled by the Yang family, and she didn't want the Lin family to interfere, but it was hard to say, and there was just such a justifiable reason for the Lin family not to come forward and not do these things, which was exactly what she wanted.

……

After Lin Ruhai finished handling official business, he went home, went straight to the main room of the Lin family's back house, lifted the curtain and walked into the inner room, while walking to the warm pavilion where Brother Mao lived, and asked Jia Min who greeted him: "Did Dr. Yao introduced by Master Li come to the door today?" What did he say? ”

Seeing her husband, Jia Min wanted to smile as usual, but she couldn't do it at all, her lips moved several times, and she still couldn't tell Dr. Yao's diagnosis.

She covered her mouth with a handkerchief, the tears in her eyes were like a flood that had discharged the floodgates, she couldn't stop at all, they fell one by one, turned around and threw herself to the bedside where the angry Brother Mao slept, looked at the child's little face, suppressed the choked voice, and cried silently.

Seeing her like this, Lin Ruhai still didn't understand something, and wanted to comfort him, but he couldn't say it when the words came to his lips, because he clearly knew that it was useless to say anything at this time.

He reached out and put his hand on Jia Min's shoulder as a gesture of comfort. Jia Min threw herself into his arms and began to cry.

"Mother, father-" Brother Mao slowly opened his eyes, saw his father and mother standing by the bed, and complained with a small mouth: "The child hurts, it hurts......"

Jia Min wiped away her tears, held Brother Mao'er's small hand, which was so thin that it seemed to be only a layer of skin wrapped around the bones, and said: "Mother knows, Brother Mao is well-behaved, after drinking the medicine, it won't hurt for a while, Brother Mao is the most well-behaved...... When he spoke, tears fell involuntarily again.

Brother Mao said unhappily: "Mother...... It hurts, the medicine is bitter, it still hurts after drinking, it hurts ......" He felt that Jia Min lied to him, he drank the medicine, and it still hurt, and the medicine was so bitter, it didn't taste good at all.

In fact, in the recent past, after the doctor went to the outpatient clinic, he didn't prescribe a prescription, but under Jia Min's bitter pleading, he finally had no choice but to leave a prescription.

Jia Min also knew that the medicine that Brother Mao drank had no effect, but let her do nothing, just watch her son die, and she couldn't do it if she was killed.

She held on to the psychology of luck, thinking that if her son drank the medicine, her condition would improve, and she coaxed softly with tears: "Brother Mao, after drinking the medicine, I will give you your favorite candied fruit, and you are allowed to eat three this time." Tears slid down her face one after another, and her vision was blurred, and she hurriedly wiped them with a handkerchief.

The doctors in the house came and went, and Jia Min went to all the major temples and Taoist temples around, but Brother Mao'er's body was still weakening day by day. Originally, he could still speak a few words a day, but now his spirit is getting weaker and weaker, and he doesn't even have the strength to speak.

……

Since Brother Mao'er died, Jia Min has been seriously ill, and after he recovered, he has aged a lot all of a sudden.

Before, she was well-maintained, and even though she was over forty years old, she still looked like a woman in her thirties. Although there are some traces of time on her face, the mature and graceful charm brought by the years makes her more and more charming, and it does not make people feel that she is old.

But after this illness, she lost a lot of weight, her spirit was different from before, although her hair was not white, and the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes were not a few more, but she could clearly feel her aging.

Originally, she was a full and ripe fruit from the inside out; Now she looks the same on the outside as before, but on the inside she has begun to rot and slowly deteriorate.
