Xiao Mufan is a well-known filial son, he has lived so long and has never gone against his mother's wishes. This time, the old lady came forward to make the decision and ordered him to accept Hui Niang, but it really made him difficult.

Got it, right? He was reluctant. Let him face a woman he didn't feel all day long, he didn't know what to say, and he felt awkward in his heart. Don't accept it, right? He couldn't bear to make his sick wife sad and anxious, and he didn't dare to go against his mother's wishes, which really made him unable to do it on the left or right, which made him upset.

In the end, Xiao Mufan still did not resist the joint attack of his wife and mother, and took Hui Niang away against his will and officially became his aunt's wife.

Hui Niang made a partial house and justifiably became the second wife of the family. The people in the house used to call her Miss Hui or Sister Hui, but now they have all changed their words, and they all call her the second aunt. Yixuan and Yixin's little brothers have been closest to her since they were children, and Aunt Hui screamed every day, but now they suddenly changed their words to call the second aunt, and they are not used to it. Hui Niang loves these two little masters the most, and when she heard them call her aunt, she also felt awkward, and when she told her wife, she simply called her Aunt Hui, and she seemed closer, so her wife agreed.

Although Xiao Mufan married his aunt's wife, he basically stayed in his wife's room all day long. Although Hui Niang didn't say anything, Mrs. Xiao couldn't help it, she didn't want Hui Niang to be wronged, so she persuaded Xiao Mufan hard, and persuaded Xiao Mufan a lot, so she was annoyed by Xiao Mufan, so she had to go to Hui Niang's house to stay for a while. In fact, Xiao Mufan didn't hate Hui Niang, he went there a lot, and he slowly got used to it, but when the two of them were alone, he still didn't know what to say to her.

In this way, Hui Niang's heart was already very satisfied. She was sold to a big family as a maid ring from a very young age, although the young lady was very good to her, but after all, she was still a subordinate, and now although she is a partial house, the lord always treats her lightly, but after all, she was given a home. Especially her status in Xiao Mansion has changed dramatically, she is now a veritable second wife in charge, the old lady and his wife rely on her for everything, even Xiao Mufan trusts her very much, and the affairs of the family are entrusted to her to manage with confidence.

After his wife passed away, the two young masters became motherless children, and they relied on her even more. And Hui Niang herself has never been pregnant again since she had a miscarriage with her first child. At this time, he treated the two children as his own flesh and blood, and treated them with all his heart. Yixuan and Yixin's little brother also regard her as their own mother, especially the little young master Yixin, who has taken care of him since he was born, and the people of Manchu only listen to Huiniang's words.

Since Xiao Mufan has no wife in the main house, the Xiao family has become the sweetheart of those who have a daughter to marry, and the matchmaker is about to collapse the threshold of the Xiao Mansion, and they are all talking about the yellow flower girl with a good family background and outstanding character. There are those who ask relatives to say yes, some ask friends to introduce them, and some simply go directly to the door to propose, this one is gone and that one is here again, and it is not easy to keep Mrs. Xiao busy. But no matter how good the woman's conditions were, how much Mrs. Xiao liked it, Xiao Mufan just didn't nod, which made Mrs. Xiao lose her temper, so she had to go back to the house one by one. Gradually, there were fewer people who came to talk about matchmaking, and Xiao Mufan finally lived a life of dissipation.

Four years have passed in a blink of an eye, Xiao Mufan is about to enter the year of no confusion, and the Xiao family's business is booming in his hands. In the past four years, Xiao Mufan has devoted almost all his time to business, and he does not allow himself to have a moment of leisure, so that his heart is not idle.

Just when he was ambitious and ready to expand the scale of the business again, the old mother suddenly fell seriously ill.

Mrs. Xiao had a very strange disease, and at first she always had no appetite, she didn't want to eat, and she didn't eat anything delicious. Later, I felt nauseous when I smelled everything, vomited whatever I ate, and even vomited when I drank saliva. Later, I couldn't eat it anymore, and I felt like I had something blocked in my throat and eyes, and I couldn't swallow it at all. People are also getting thinner and thinner, and in less than three months, they have only a handful of bones left.

In the past three months, Xiao Mufan has invited all the famous doctors in the capital, but they are all helpless, and they have prescribed a lot of prescriptions, but none of them worked. During this period, a friend also introduced a few Western doctors to the old lady, but did not find out the specific cause, and the old lady said that she would not take the medicine given by Western medicine. Seeing that the old lady's condition was getting worse day by day, Xiao Mufan was really anxious. Later, when he heard that there was a Westerner-run hospital in Dongcheng, which had cured many incurable diseases, he immediately went to the hospital himself and invited a German doctor to treat the old lady. The German doctor learned about the patient's condition in detail, and asked the old lady to stretch out her arm, but instead of taking the pulse, he used a glass tube with a long needle on her head to draw a tube of blood from the old lady's arm, saying that she would take it back for study. Xiao Mufan was anxious when he heard this, "Research and research? Emotions take my mother as an experiment? You've been asking for a long time, but what kind of illness do you see? ”

The German doctor was a little embarrassed and said, "Your mother may have something in her esophagus, what is it, we have poor conditions here, and we can't check it out without instruments." ”

Xiao Mufan was completely stunned this time. He asked the doctor suspiciously, "Is there a cure for my mother's disease?" ”

The German doctor said, "The only way now is to have surgery to remove the contents of the esophagus." ”

Xiao Mufan had heard that Westerners could cut open people's stomachs and sew them up after curing the problem, but he had never seen it. He frowned and asked, "Then if the contents of the esophagus are cut off, will our old lady's illness be cured?" ”

The German doctor shook his head and said, "It's not certain what exactly grows, only after cutting it open." If it's something bad, there's no good treatment yet. ”

"You mean that even if you have surgery, it won't necessarily cure our old lady's illness, right?"

"You can say that, but that's the only way to do it at the moment."

"If so, won't this knife be in vain? Isn't that a sin in vain? ”

"At least there is hope, and if you don't have surgery, there is no hope at all. Mr. Xiao, your mother's condition is very serious, you must make a decision as soon as possible, I am afraid that if you continue to delay, you will lose your last chance. ”

"I understand, if you allow us to discuss it again, I will write back to you as soon as possible."

Xiao Mufan respectfully sent Doctor Yang away. He also understood that the old lady's illness could not be delayed any longer, but he really had no idea in his heart about such a suspense. He couldn't help but think of his deceased wife again, lamenting that he was alone and didn't even have anyone to talk to.

In desperation, he walked into Hui Niang's room, and he had to find someone to discuss.
