244 Don't be afraid
Lin Jiaojiao didn't know that her words in the spirit of "human rights" could cause her to think so much, and looked at Huo Ningzhi again, "This is just my personal opinion, what is the specific, of course, it still depends on the meaning of your Jingguo Mansion."
Huo Ningzhi didn't answer, only motioned for the mother-in-law to go back to the delivery room, and after the mother-in-law left, both of them fell silent, well, to be precise, it should be Lin Jiaojiao who was silent, if she wasn't asked by name, Huo Ningzhi would rarely take the initiative to speak.
After a while, the woman went downstairs again, her steps were hurried and heavy, obviously with vigorous anger, "General, grandma said to save her life!" ”
Lin Jiaojiao looked at Huo Ningzhi, and lowered her eyelashes again, she could understand where the woman's anger came from, in ancient times, which regarded "women's morality" as greater than the sky, no one, especially an old lady who valued rules and etiquette, could tolerate such a selfish answer.
Even in the 21st century, such straightforward egoism will make countless people disdainful.
The woman gasped heavily, tried to suppress her anger, and tried to organize her words calmly and objectively, "The old slave listened and asked the uncle, and the grandmother was anxious, and tried to pat her stomach, saying that let it die, she wanted to live, and the uncle said, do what the grandmother said."
Huo Ningzhi was silent for a while, and then spoke, "Listen to the eldest brother."
The woman opened her mouth twice, but she didn't say anything, bowed, and went back to the second floor.
Lin Jiaojiao didn't know how to evaluate Lin Ruliu's words and deeds, if her guess was true, she had no position to evaluate, so she could only be silent.
It was getting dark little by little, and when Qisan came to ask when the meal would be served, Lin Jiaojiao suddenly came back to her senses, ordered the meal to be set up immediately, and asked Qisan how Lin Ruliu's situation was.
Qisan pouted and said, "It's still early, only four fingers have been opened now, and ten fingers have to be opened before the child can be born, and they all said that if the grandmother doesn't save some effort to scratch the uncle, she will definitely have no strength when she gives birth to a child."
Lin Jiaojiao didn't know what kind of unit of measurement the four fingers was, and she didn't want to ask so carefully when Huo Ningzhi was there, but she could still understand four to ten, and she couldn't help but be a little irritable, although she hated Lin Ruliu very much, she never wanted her to die like this!
After a while, the food was put on the table, Lin Jiaojiao and Huo Ningzhi had no appetite, and they put down their chopsticks after eating some casually.
After the two drank the tea in silence, Huo Ningzhi said, "The child doesn't know when he will come out, the seventh sister should go back and rest first, if there is movement, I will send someone to call the seventh sister."
Lin Jiaojiao didn't want to sit with Huo Ningzhi like this, so she nodded, told him to rest earlier, and walked to the second floor.
As soon as she went to the second floor, Lin Ruliu's violent wheezing and barely suppressed choking sound came into her ears clearly, presumably she could hear it clearly in her room.
Lin Jiaojiao stood still, and after a while, a deep voice reprimanded, "Grandma, women have to pass this hurdle when they give birth!" When it doesn't hurt, just rest well, slow down, crying will only waste your strength, don't cry anymore! ”
Lin Ruliu cried for a moment, and then raised her voice and shouted, "You shut up for me!" Come on, throw this wicked old woman into the river to feed the fish! ”
Huo Xuanzhi hurriedly persuaded in a low voice, Lin Jiaojiao stood for a while, and finally raised her feet and walked to her room, she didn't want to listen to this kind of unwarranted irritability, but she couldn't just sit with Huo Ningzhi on the first floor overnight.
This night, accompanied by Lin Ruliu's crying and splashing sound, Lin Jiaojiao slept very unsteadily, and when she woke up, she felt more tired than having slept all night, it was dark in front of her, and she didn't know what time it was, but Lin Ruliu didn't make any sound at all, she listened carefully for a while, but there was still no sound!
She was startled and hurriedly shouted, "Seventy-three! ”
After a while, Qisan's brisk footsteps sounded outside the door, followed by the sound of pushing the door, and the flickering candlelight suddenly sprinkled the entire room.
"The girl is awake?"
Lin Jiaojiao propped up the bed and sat up, "How is Lin Ruliu?" ”
Qisan hesitated for a while, Fang said, "It is said that it is dangerous, Grandma Huo has fainted several times, and the child has no movement in the stomach, they said that it is estimated that the child has no strength, just now the grandmother fainted again, the midwife is trying to make the grandmother wake up, they said that if the grandmother does not wake up, the child has no strength, and it must be a corpse and two lives."
Lin Jiaojiao was stunned for a while, then she understood what she meant, and hurriedly lifted the quilt, "Quick, freshen up."
Qisan quickly waited for Lin Jiaojiao to groom properly, Lin Jiaojiao lifted her skirt and ran, as soon as she arrived at the door, she suddenly felt something, and subconsciously turned around.
The moonlight was very good, but it didn't benefit Huo Ningzhi who was standing at the end of the passage, and he didn't know if he chose it on purpose, obviously it was bright all around, but the small place where he stood was cold and dark, and it was easy to be mistaken for a black shadow.
At this time, Huo Ningzhi stood in the place where the moonlight could not shine and looked at her silently, and he didn't know if he had been looking in this direction, or if he had heard the movement before he looked over.
Lin Jiaojiao paused, turned around and walked towards him, stopped about a meter away from him, and saluted, "Second Brother Huo."
Huo Ningzhi spoke in a dumb voice, "Mama He said that they can't live."
Lin Jiaojiao's nose soured suddenly, not for the fate of Lin Ruliu and her unborn child, but for the way Huo Ningzhi spoke at this time.
On the surface, he looks like he is no different from usual, and even the tone and speed of his speech are about the same as usual, but he is inexplicably very cold.
Yes, it's not indifference, it's not despair, it's just cold, resolutely, as if seeing through the coldness of the red dust from now on, Lin Jiaojiao definitely has reason to believe that if he is really allowed to be so cold, he will never marry a wife in his life, let alone propose to her under the pressure of the six brothers of the Lin family.
Lin Jiaojiao eagerly stepped forward and grabbed his hand, she wanted to say something, but she couldn't think of anything in her eagerness, she only subconsciously grabbed his hand and put it on her face, and blurted out, "Don't be afraid-"
As soon as she spoke, she suddenly said, yes, don't be afraid, I'm not Lin Ruliu, even if you are not there, even if you can't do it, I can properly protect myself, and even if there is a case, I will not toss myself like Lin Ruliu like this, hurting others and hurting myself, so, don't be afraid, don't be afraid-
Lin Jiaojiao raised her eyes to look at Huo Ningzhi, trying to make her eyes and expressions appear sincere and urgent, while eagerly grabbing his hand and rubbing it up and down on her face, her originally sweet voice was shrill because of eagerness, "Really, don't be afraid, Second Brother Huo, don't be afraid, don't be afraid......"
