Chapter 258 I Don’t Want to Support Mother Shen Anymore
"Are you done? Isn't it my turn as a doctor to say something?"
Upon hearing this, Shen Jizu and Xu turned to look at the old doctor. They saw that the doctor's face was solemn, and their hearts tightened.
"Doctor, my wife is very weak now. She keeps complaining about being tired. Look..."
Liu Shiying stood at the back, anxiously waiting for the doctor to tell him about Xu's condition.
The old doctor sighed and said, "I'm telling you the truth, please don't think it's unpleasant, this lady is already at this age and is no longer suitable for childbirth.
Moreover, her qi and blood were severely depleted, so she was easily tired. If my guess is correct, she must have been in great sorrow for a while not long ago.
In addition, she has not exercised for a long time, so her body is very weak. And given her age, it is difficult to save the fetus. "
The two people who were originally happy were dampened by the doctor's words.
How is this possible? This is how women get pregnant. How could the pregnancy not be preserved? This doctor is talking nonsense.
"Doctor, don't you have a lot of medicines to help with pregnancy? Please prescribe a few for me. My wife must keep this baby."
After so many years, Xu finally got pregnant, and this might be her last child in her life.
Maybe this was the child that her Rouer had prayed for her in the afterlife, and she must give birth to the child.
Most importantly, the baby in her belly is a son.
"Well, that's all I have to say. If you insist on having it, it's very likely to endanger the life of the mother."
Mrs. Xu didn't care. She grabbed the old doctor's wide sleeve with one hand.
"Doctor, I'm not afraid. Please give me some medicine to keep the baby healthy. For this child, I'm not afraid of anything."
The old doctor's persuasion was futile, so he could only prescribe some pregnancy-maintaining medicine for Xu and told her to talk to Shen Jizu.
"Even if you take medication to maintain pregnancy, there's no guarantee you'll have a smooth birth. Don't overexert yourself. If you feel unwell, stay in bed and rest. With luck, you might be able to have a safe birth, but the hope isn't great!"
After sending the doctor away, Shen Jizu asked Liu Shiying to stay and also called Shen Zuxiong in.
"Second brother, it's so rare that your sister-in-law is pregnant this time, but the doctor said that she is not in good health.
Now she is probably no longer able to take care of her mother. Go and call Shen Dali and Yang Xiuxiu's family.
The most urgent thing is to leave Mom to your two families' care. I really can't spare any time here."
Shen Zhuxiong and Liu Shiying were dumbfounded. They were asked to take care of Shen's mother. This...
It’s okay to take care of someone for a few months, but I’m afraid that once I start taking care of someone, I’ll have to do it for the rest of my life.
Now that Xu is pregnant, she can’t take care of Shen’s mother. Will she be able to take care of her during the confinement period and the child in the future?
Besides, all the benefits of the Shen family belong to the couple, and the second son’s family gets nothing.
During the period of taking care of Shen's mother, the two acres of land should be cultivated by whoever takes care of it.
Liu Shiying bumped into Shen Zuxiong's shoulder and spoke in his ear.
"Dad, call the people over first!"
Given how Shen's mother treated Lin Ting and Shen Dali's family before, Lin Ting would definitely not want to support Shen's mother. Let's first call her over to discuss what to do.
Brother Shen Zhu went to the Shen residence again today. There were many people at the Shen residence today, and Lin Ting did not go to the county. Except for Shen Wanyi and An Yue who were taking classes with the teacher in the room, everyone was at home.
"Shen Dali, sister-in-law, please come out for a moment. Something happened."
The last time Shen Zuxiong came to call people like this, something bad happened to their family. This time when he came to call, Shen Dali and Yang Xiuxiu were much more cautious.
"Second brother, what happened again?"
Shen Zhuxiong said with a dark face: "It's my eldest brother. He doesn't want to support my mother anymore and asked us to discuss it."
Lin Ting also heard this. Shen Jizu doesn't want to support Shen's mother anymore and wants to rely on them?
"Grandpa and Grandma, this matter could be big or small, let's go and take a look first."
Lin Ting thought of Shen Qingzhou. If Shen Jizu really didn't support Shen's mother and they didn't care, Shen Qingzhou would be criticized if he passed the imperial examination in the future.
When they arrived at the Shen family's old house, Shen Jizu directly asked them to go to the west wing, which was originally the house where Shen Dali and others lived.
Shen's mother moved from the original main house to this room, and the main house was given to Shen Jizu and Xu.
Mother Shen is now sick and cannot get out of bed. The doctor cannot find out what is wrong with her. She can move, but as soon as she moves she feels weak and about to fall down.
The smell coming from the whole room made it impossible to open my eyes, especially the smell of urine. I didn’t know how long it had been since the bed was washed.
Lin Ting stood at the door and did not go into the room. The whole family was there, including Xu, who was sitting inside waiting.
Shen's mother leaned on a quilt, barely supporting her to sit up.
"Mother, I am an unfilial son, but I had no choice but to do this today. Please don't blame me. You usually love me the most."
Mother Shen didn't say anything. She was so thin that she could be described as skin and bones. Her eyes, which were already small, were now even more sunken.
If she hadn't been mean to Lin Ting, and Lin Ting knew her character, he would definitely feel deep sympathy when seeing such an old man.
After Shen Jizu finished speaking to Shen's mother, he looked at Shen Zuxiong and Shen Dali.
"Second brother, third brother, and my two sisters-in-law, your eldest sister-in-law is pregnant, and I have to prepare for this year's Autumn Examination, so I am too busy to attend to you.
Mother gave birth to three brothers and raised us. It was supposed to be me who took care of us, but now there is really nothing I can do.
Mom's health isn't good either. My two brothers and sisters-in-law won't let her be left unattended like this, right?"
Shen Jizu's words sounded nice, and Shen Zhuxiong and Shen Dali might be persuaded by his words, but Lin heard it very clearly.
"Shen Jizu, when did you ask a doctor to see Mrs. Xu and find out that she was pregnant?"
When Lin Ting asked this question, her expression and tone were indifferent. No one knew that she was setting a trap for Shen Jizu.
"Just now, not long after we sent the doctor away!"
Before Shen Jizu could answer, Liu Shiying spoke out.
"Is that so? Now that the doctor is at home, why don't you ask him to check on Grandma Qingzhou?"
Several people came back to their senses and looked at Shen Jizu and Xu.
Yes, the doctor was invited to the house, but he was not asked to treat Shen's mother. Shen Jizu only knew how to say nice things, but what he did showed that he didn't care about Shen's mother at all.
Even Shen's mother herself breathed a sigh of relief. She couldn't move now, and she lay in bed every day, figuring out a lot of things.
It is said that there is no filial son by the bedside of a long-term patient. During this period, she knew exactly how everyone treated her.
She was able to survive this winter thanks to the medicine Shen Dali bought for her, and the two quilts she slept on were also given by Shen Dali.
She could have enjoyed her old age in good health, but she knew who poisoned her like this.
