Chapter 35 (4)
Because he kept thinking about these troubles in his heart, he couldn't sleep even more. She rolled over, feeling very heavy, although the weather has been much hotter lately, it is still far from being as hot as in summer, and people have no appetite at all. She has been barely able to eat a mouthful of food lately, her body is always feeling unwell, and she almost retches out when she smells the smell of oil smoke when she stir-frying. She became thinner and thinner, almost a paper man, and she looked like she was crumbling in the wind at any time.
Later, in order to divert her attention, she decided not to let herself think about Cheng Jiahua's gambling money anymore. Fortunately, she has saved a little savings, which is the only comfort for her, and the piggy bank that has not yet been filled with coins is the motivation for her to live. All this money was pulled out from between her teeth, and in order to save money, she was reluctant to buy fat powder, and she has been using the skin care products she brought from her own home, and she has been using them until now. Occasionally, I followed my mother-in-law on the street, and she was reluctant to buy the broken things that needed to be replaced, and she always felt that she could continue to use them when she went back to repair them. Not to mention the clothes, the craftsmanship is exquisite, with the fabric, you can make a set of clothes yourself, so why spend money to buy outsiders to make it. So now, the only two new clothes she has added are from clothes that her mother-in-law doesn't wear, and they look half-new, and the style is not old-fashioned. When she was really bored, she thought about making clothes to sell, but as soon as she told her mother-in-law about this idea, she was discouraged. Because Mu Shi laughed when she heard this, she turned her head to look at Hedi, as if looking at a stupid donkey, "Now the clothes are all made in the factory, and the other ones are assembly lines, how many pieces can be made in a minute." Let's not say that it takes you two or three days to make a piece of clothing, even if it is done, who do you sell it to? People have that kung fu, and they went to the clothing store in the morning. ”
Hedi's wish to sell clothes was disappointed, and he became idle again, except for worrying about Cheng Jiahua, but he also began to plan for his future. She thinks about what she can do to make some money back, but no matter what she does, she can't escape a curse, and that is her mother-in-law. Mu Shi never allowed her to go out at will, even if she went out, she had to make it clear that she had to go out, and Mu Shi would agree to let her go out. He Di didn't know why her mother-in-law was so strict with herself, but she wouldn't be like this to Cheng Jiayi, maybe she did something wrong, or she inadvertently said something and did something that made her worry that she had run away? He really couldn't figure it out, and he couldn't ask in person, so those plans were detailed and perfect, but there was nothing to do.
The days passed like this, and Hetu seemed to be very idle, but his brain never stopped spinning in circles, always making various plans. When he finally found out that he hadn't had menstruation for two months, he panicked a little. If you are not in good health, no matter how good your plan is, it is useless. Sometimes in the mirror, she saw her emaciated self inside, and began to feel scared, she felt as if she was sick, and she was terminally ill.
But can you tell your parents-in-law? He Di felt that if he said it, they might divorce Cheng Jiahua immediately and drive her back to their home to die. But that's not bad, at least it's a way to get rid of the boring life here. As soon as this childish thought came out, Hetu was amused by herself, she sighed, touched her thin wrist with only bones left, and began to worry about what to do.
She finally told her mother-in-law. It was an early morning in May, and Mu Shi didn't know how to catch the wind chill, so he lay down on the kang to rest, and Hetu wrapped the breakfast for the whole family. After it was ready, she brought a bowl of porridge to her mother-in-law and prepared to serve her mother-in-law to drink the porridge. The whole process lasted for half an hour, and when the mother-in-law finally finished drinking and took the medicine to sleep, Hetu hesitated and said, "Mom, I have something I want to tell you." ”
Mu Shi closed his eyes, feeling very tired. She snorted in her nostrils, indicating that she should speak quickly.
"I, I seem to be sick...... "Hedi said, his eyes suddenly a little dry, "and it seems to be an incurable disease." ”
"Huh?" Hearing this, Mu Shi opened his eyes in surprise. She raised her head and glanced at Hedi, feeling that Hedi seemed to have lost weight recently, and her face didn't look very good, so she immediately frowned and said, "Sick? What do you think of yourself? ”
"It's just that the body is very tired, and I can't eat anything." He Tu held the bowl and stood helplessly on the ground, his thin body trembling slightly under the clothes that seemed empty, "Sometimes I feel dizzy when I walk." ”
Mu Shi sat up slowly, leaning back on the pillow and looking at Hedi. Her brow furrowed, and she didn't know what she was thinking, but she didn't say anything. After a long time, she asked, "Does Jiahua know?" ”
"I haven't told him yet."
"Well, call your sister and ask her to take you to the hospital." Mu Shi said, closing his eyes again, "If you really have any illness, go and see it quickly." ”
He hurriedly agreed. Unexpectedly, her mother-in-law actually asked her to go to her sister, which was unexpected. After a few months, she was finally able to see her sister, and her heart was overjoyed, and her previous exhaustion was almost swept away by the news. She returned to her room, hurriedly changed her clothes, said a word to her mother-in-law and went out. With her previous memories, she walked for a long time, and finally came to the door of her sister's house, but she just stood there and knocked on the door for a long time, but no one came to open it.
"No one at home?" He thought to himself, and knocked hard a few more times, but no one came to open the door. She turned and stood against the wall, ready to wait a moment.
Somehow, her head became groggy again. Barely able to stand. She took a few steps forward, found a staircase and sat down, rested her head on her knees, and fell asleep. By the time I was woken up, it was already past five o'clock in the afternoon. He Tu looked up in a daze, and when he saw his sister's worried face, he immediately forced himself to smile.
"Don't laugh, it's ugly." Hexin frowned and looked at her, reached out and touched her sister's face, only to feel a cold tingler, "Hurry up, it's so cold on this step, be careful of catching a cold." She took Hetu's hand, one hand fumbling in her pocket for the key to open the door. He shook his head, trying to make himself sober, but to no avail. She was dragged into the door by her sister like this, sat down on the sofa, stared blankly at Hexin pouring water for herself, and sat beside her and touched her head.
"I don't have a fever." He Xin said suspiciously, "Why is your face so bad?" She looked at Hetu's face seriously and asked, "Why are you here today?" Keyi had a fever again last night, I took him to the hospital with your brother-in-law today, and now he is still in the hospital for hanging injections, if I didn't come back to get clothes, would you still be waiting at this door all night? ”
Hedi's eyes were sour, tears immediately welled up, she stretched out her arm and hugged her sister hard, and said sadly: "Sister, I feel like I'm going to die." ”
"What do you say?" He Xin immediately reproached, "Say what you can't die for!" ”
"Really." He choked up, "I think I'm bad. ”
"What's wrong?" Hexin pushed her up from herself, "You tell me." ”
He described the same sister that he had described to Mush.
Hexin looked at her sister and felt that she had really lost a lot of weight recently, and even her eye sockets had sunken. After listening to what He Tu said, a wave of anger mixed with distress surged up from the bottom of his heart, and he said fiercely: "What a good mother-in-law, I didn't take you to see you when you were sick, and I actually let you come to me so far alone." ”
He Tu lowered his head and asked in a muffled voice, "Sister, do you dislike me?" ”
"How so!" Hexin frowned and said, "I just think it's inappropriate for her to do this, what if you faint on the way here?" She took Hetu's hand and stood up and walked towards the door, saying, "Let's go, I'll take you to the hospital." ”
He Tu didn't speak, just obediently followed his sister. She hadn't been to the hospital a few times, and she became nervous as soon as she entered the hospital, especially when she smelled the disinfectant water, which stimulated her mood even more, and she felt that she was about to die now. After registering and making a diagnosis, the doctor asked her to go for a urine test and B-ultrasound. He Di didn't understand what this meant, but followed Hexin around the crowd, and finally, all the tests were done, and when she came out of the ultrasound room with a blank face on the back of her head, Hexin was called in by the doctor.
He sat down in a chair in the doorway, staring blankly at the air in front of him. Strangely, now I don't feel drowsy, and my body seems to be refreshed again. Within a few minutes, Hexin came out, with an ecstatic expression on her face, she grabbed Hexin's hand and laughed in a low voice: "Good thing, good thing." ”
"What's good?" He Tu looked at her sister suspiciously, "Am I not terminally ill?" ”
"You stupid boy." He Xin smiled and poked He Tu's forehead and said, "You're pregnant!" It's just that your pregnancy reaction is stronger, that's why you've lost so much weight. ”
"I'm pregnant?" He Tu frowned and said, not understanding for a while.
"It's been almost three months." Hexin touched Hexin's belly, "It looks like it's a little bulging." ”
"Sister." He Tu grabbed He Xin's hand and looked at her dumbfounded, "It means that I also have a baby?" ”
He Xin looked at her with a smile and nodded.
He Tu felt like a cloud for a while, and an indescribable emotion permeated her heart. She felt very miraculous, there was a life conceived in her belly, and she felt worried, but now she is living in such an embarrassment, and she will have to live such an embarrassing life with her when the child is born in the future, which makes her feel a little uneasy. Before she could think about it carefully, Hexin had already pulled her towards the outside of the hospital, "I'll send you back first, you take care of it at home, eat your body fat first, you are too thin, the doctor said that if you lose weight like this, there may be a risk of miscarriage." ”
"Oh." He nodded in a daze, obviously not listening to all of his sister's words. Shaking all the way, even she didn't know how to get home, only remembered that her sister spoke to her mother-in-law, and waved goodbye to herself, and on the cold May night, the dim light was sprinkled on the concrete floor of the yard, like a dream.
"You go in." Mu Shi closed the door, walked up to her and said, "Be careful from tomorrow, don't fall and bump." ”
"Got it." He Tu nodded, looking at the expression on her mother-in-law's face, but she couldn't see what kind of psychology she was now. Isn't she happy with the news? When my parents knew that my sister was pregnant, they were so happy that they ran so far to see my sister, why couldn't my mother-in-law see any joy on her face? He Tu opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but Mu Shi had already walked past her towards the main house, and the dim light in the courtyard dimmed, and the cold seemed to penetrate into the marrow, and He Tu shivered from the cold.
Cheng Jiahua still arrived home in the middle of the night, but usually at this time, Hetu had already gone to sleep, but the lights in the house were still on. He came into the house with a full body of smoke, looked at the person sitting in front of him in a daze suspiciously, and couldn't help asking, "Why haven't you slept yet?" ”
"I'm pregnant." He said, and didn't beat around the bush.
"Pregnant?" Cheng Jiahua's action of taking off his coat was stuck in mid-air, "Really fake? ”
"My sister took me to the hospital for a check-up today, and it's true." He Tu took out the medical record book from his pocket and threw it in front of him.
Cheng Jiahua picked up the notebook in disbelief, opened it and looked at it, pursed his lips slightly, and muttered, "It's amazing." ”
"What did you say?" He Tu didn't hear clearly, and asked with a frown.
Cheng Jiahua didn't take off his clothes anymore, he sat directly next to Hedi, reached out and touched her lower abdomen, which was still very flat, and said with a smile: "Why can't you see a big belly at all?" ”
He Tu glanced at him, it seemed that he didn't realize that he had lost a lot of weight recently, how could he show his nostalgia. She sighed and said, "Go wash yourself, the smell of smoke on your body is too strong." ”
"Good, good." Cheng Jiahua stood up with a smile, but her eyes were still wandering on her stomach, "It's amazing." ”
When he went to bed at night, Cheng Jiahua said something that broke the sky, and he almost jumped off the bed in shock. He said, "Tomorrow I'll go out and look for work." ”
He Tu suddenly turned over and sat up, looking at him in disbelief, although he couldn't see his face clearly in the dark, he felt that he exuded a determined aura, and his tone was undoubted.
"Seriously?"
"Of course, when did I, Cheng Jiahua, tell a lie!" Cheng Jiahua clenched his fists, and the words fell to the ground.
"Why do you suddenly have this thought?" He Tu frowned, she had already given up persuading Cheng Jiahua, but when he suddenly said this, she didn't believe it.
"Do you still have any money?" Cheng Jiahua did not answer the rhetorical question.
He Tu sneered in his heart, look, look, sure enough, there is something in the words, and he is tricking himself. She shook her head and said coldly, "No." ”
"That's it, we don't have any money, and if we don't make some money, we won't have money to buy toys for the baby in the future." Cheng Jiahua grinned, reached out and grabbed Hetu's arm, and pulled her into his arms, "Did you say?" ”
He Tu was stunned for a while, and his heart didn't feel good. It seems that he really wants to change, but he misunderstands it like this. She thought blankly, and suddenly felt a wave of emotion in her heart, as if all the grievances and helplessness she had endured for a long time had disappeared at this moment.
"We're going to have a better life, right?" She muttered. Cheng Jiahua snorted, and the hand holding her waist became tighter and tighter.
