Facing Xu Shuhua's questioning, Gu Yunji turned his head and did not answer, and the two of them were silent with each other, and neither of them took the lead in speaking.

At this time, there was a sound of footsteps outside, and he stopped by the door but did not move for a long time. Xu Shuhua noticed the movement, looked up and asked, "Who is outside?" ”

It was Xu Dong's voice: "It's me." Young Master, Young Lady...... The medicine is boiled. ”

Hearing this, the two of them instantly stagnated their breathing.

Xu Dong knew that the two of them must have something important to say at this time, and it was not appropriate to go in and disturb them. He didn't know what kind of medicine it was, but Gu Yunji had taken this medicine very seriously before, and Xu Shuhua also told him to listen to his errands well, and now that it was time to drink the medicine, he didn't dare not boil the medicine.

Xu Shuhua glanced at Gu Yunji, then took a deep breath, trying to calm his voice back: "Come in." ”

The door creaked open, Xu Dong lowered his head, brought two bowls of medicine and put them on the table, placed them in front of the two of them, and after saluting them, he silently retreated.

Silence returned to the room.

After a while, Xu Shuhua looked at the steaming medicinal soup on the table, and smiled coldly: "Didn't you say that this medicine should be drunk for half a year?" It's only been five months now, and I haven't had enough of it, so let's drink it. ”

Gu Yunji was silent, still silent.

"Don't drink? Before, whether it was behind my back or in front of me, didn't you drink quite happily? Now that I know the truth, why don't you drink it? Xu Shuhua's face was sneering, and his eyes were like a sword, forcing Gu Yunji not to dare to look at her, "Okay, if you don't drink, I'll drink." ”

As she spoke, Xu Shuhua picked up her bowl of medicine from the table and drank it all, then she didn't stop, and reached out to serve the medicine in front of Gu Yunji.

"Shuhua don't!"

Gu Yunji was taken aback, and quickly rushed to knock down the medicine bowl before Xu Shuhua could drink it.

With a "pop", the porcelain bowl shattered into pieces and sprinkled with medicinal soup all over the ground.

Xu Shuhua glanced at the medicinal soup on the ground, looked up at him again, and said with a sarcastic smile: "Didn't you say that this medicine is very cost-effective?" Why don't you let me drink it? ”

Gu Yunji's throat rolled, and his voice was difficult: "This medicine...... It's bad for the body, you can't drink ......"

"You also know that it is harmful to the body? Then why do you give yourself a drink? Xu Shuhua's eyes were red, and his tone became excited, "Yunji, you don't want me to hurt my body, it's for my good." But as your wife, am I willing to see you hurt? ”

"If I hurt my body, you will feel distressed, and if you hurt my body, won't I feel distressed? You said that you want to grow old with me, but you are so bad about your body, you don't think about yourself at all, you don't think about our future, have you thought about it, if you have an accident, what will I do? What about Xi'er? ”

Xu Shuhua's words were like thorns, his two ends were sharp, and while the words pierced Gu Yunji's heart, he also poked himself into a thousand holes, and when he said that he had an emotional breakdown behind him, he whimpered in extreme pain.

Gu Yunji had a headache as if she had been stripped of a piece of meat, trembling and helping her wipe her tears, and couldn't stop apologizing: "Shuhua, I'm sorry, I was wrong, I was wrong......"

Xu Shuhua gradually stopped his tears, and asked him with red eyes: "Do you know wrong?" ”

Gu Yunji nodded a few times, as if he was afraid that she would leave, held her hand to the side of his face, and choked up: "I know that I am wrong, Shuhua, I really know that I am wrong......

Xu Shuhua held her husband's face, looked at it carefully, looked at his eyes a little full of panic and helplessness, pulled the corners of her lips sadly, and shook her head gently: "Yunji, I understand you too well, you don't know your mistake at all." You just can't bear to see me sad, you can't bear to see me cry, so you coax me with these words. ”

"If you could do it all over again, you would still choose to drink this medicine, yes or no?"

Gu Yunji was stunned and said bitterly: "...... Be. ”

After a few painful tears, the dizziness hit, Xu Shuhua closed his eyes tiredly, and sighed: "You are really like this." ”

"Yes...... Aren't you like that, Shuhua? ”

"Today, you are sad and angry, nothing more than blaming me for hiding from you and hurting your body, but if you and I are in the opposite situation, you may not make the same choice as me. Just like I told you many times that you don't want to have children, and you still refuse to agree, don't you think that you are the one who suffers from childbirth, not me? ”

"If I had a child and lost half of my life, and now that we have Xi'er, you wouldn't let me take this risk for the sake of that possible heir, wouldn't you?"

Xu Shuhua looked at him with a good eye and said, "Yes." ”

Gu Yunji got an affirmative answer, and subconsciously wanted to smile, but just pulled the corners of his lips, but he couldn't laugh, so he could only be silent.

Xu Shuhua said: "You drank this medicine for five months, and it has damaged your body, and the wood is already in the boat, and it is impossible to do it again." You don't want me to hurt my body, I don't want you to hurt my body, and there is no point in us arguing about this anymore. Now that we're talking about heirs, let's have a good chat. ”

Gu Yunji's heart jumped, and he suddenly panicked, but Xu Shuhua was surprisingly calm: "From a traditional point of view, we only have one daughter Xi'er, and no son will stand up to the door, and when Xi'er gets married in the future, I am afraid that you and I will be bleak in the evening." ”

"Of course, we can also leave Xi'er at home and recruit a son-in-law. But everyone in the world says that there are many sons and many blessings, you Gu Yunji is a young man, and the glory is infinite, and the elders in the family - father-in-law, mother-in-law, and cousin, I don't think they will see that you have few heirs under your knees, if I don't give birth, they will definitely come to send the concubine to the house again and again. ”

"I could still help you push through the room before, but if you and I have not had children for a long time, I have no reason or position to refuse for you. Even if you support me, how long do you think I can withstand the pressure? ”

Gu Yunji took a few deep breaths, adjusted his emotions, and said, "I have thought about this. This medicine harms people's ability to give birth in silence, as long as we don't say it, outsiders can't see the clues. After a few years, you and I have no children, ask the doctor to come and take a look at the body, and you can know that I can't give birth, and then my family will not embarrass you, and will persuade you in every possible way because of shame, for fear that you will have a problem with this. ”

"You're thoughtful and think of me in every way." Xu Shuhua smiled, but his voice was cold, "Then have you ever thought that if I have been entangled in this, I have to have a child?" ”

"After all, the world likes to have many children, I am a woman with normal health, I want to have two more children, be a mother a few more times, give birth to the blood and blood of my beloved husband, and watch my children and grandchildren go around their knees and enjoy their old age, this is really a very common wish."

"To say something taboo as a parent, Xi'er is only seven months old now, and she is not completely standing, in case of an accident, what should you and I do? We'll never get a chance again......"

Xu Shuhua looked at him fixedly and asked him: "Yunji, if I really want a child in the future, but you can't give birth, what should I do?" ”
