I was married off to a disabled hero in lieu of marriage; my in-laws doted on me and I aspired to gr

After an unknown amount of time, the female doctor came out carrying a baby. Her face was grave as she said, "The baby is fully formed. Unfortunately, we did our best, but it's a boy. Please take a look."

Zhao Jintao took the baby with tears streaming down his face. The baby's face was pale and it was no longer breathing.

Zhao Jintao hugged her tightly, kissing her again and again, saying, "I'm sorry, Dad is sorry to you, I'm sorry to Mom, Dad is not human, go back and find a good family."

Qiaoqiao looked at the child and saw that he had delicate features and looked a lot like Brother Jintao.

"Even between father and son, there is a bond of fate. Jin Tao, you are still young, and there is a long future ahead of you."

Zhou Zhonghai patted Zhao Jintao on the shoulder, and Zhao Jintao finally couldn't hold back and burst into tears, so much so that even the doctor shed tears.

"Please leave the baby to our hospital. The pregnant woman is not in any danger, so don't worry."

Zhao Jintao held the child tightly and refused to let go, but Zhou Zhonghai forcefully took the child from him.

The doctor took the child away, and Zhao Jintao, his mask of strength shattered, collapsed into Zhou Zhonghai's arms, sobbing: "Uncle Zhou, my child is gone. It's all my fault."

"Jintao, things will get better, things will get better."

Zhou Zhonghai held Zhao Jintao in his arms, tears streaming down his face. He had seen too much life and death, but he was still deeply saddened by the sight of the lifeless child.

At five o'clock in the morning, Fenglin came out. Her face was as white as a sheet of paper, and she was fast asleep.

"The patient's vital signs are normal. Because she lost her child, she may experience emotional instability after waking up, which could lead to massive bleeding. You must take good care of her. I risked everything to save her life," the female doctor said coldly.

"Thank you, doctor, thank you so much." The three kept saying thank you.

"The pregnant woman's body has been severely damaged, and she may not be able to have children in the future. Of course, we still believe in medical miracles, and with proper rest, there is always a chance of something going wrong," the female doctor said calmly.

Can never have children again?

Qiaoqiao's heart tightened, and she felt so sad that she couldn't breathe.

"Thank you, doctor. We don't want children. Fenglin and I will live a good life together." Zhao Jintao held Fenglin's hand and kissed it.

"Okay, take it to the ward. Oh, and remember to pay the hospital fees."

"yes!"

Zhou Zhonghai did not ask Qiaoqiao to go back to get the money. Just because he didn't have any money on him didn't mean he couldn't get any.

Gu Quan drove to find Gao Bing, intending to borrow the money from him first and return it to him in a few days.

Exhausted from keeping watch all night, Zhou Zhonghai said, "Jin Tao, the medical bills have been paid. Qiao Qiao and I will go back first. Gu Quan will bring lunch. Feng Lin's anesthesia hasn't worn off yet, so you should lie down and get some sleep too. The responsibility of taking care of Feng Lin is on your shoulders, so you can't get sick from overwork."

"Thank you, Uncle Zhou, thank you, Qiao Mei. You should go back and rest now."

Zhao Jintao stood up to see Zhou Zhonghai and Qiaoqiao off; overnight, he was unsteady on his feet.

Zhou Wenhui, who had difficulty walking, didn't go to the hospital, but he was worried all night and waited for them in the yard early in the morning.

Upon seeing Qiaoqiao and Zhou Zhonghai return, they immediately came forward and asked, "How is Fenglin?"

Qiaoqiao's mother and father also came out of the kitchen.

"The baby couldn't be saved, but Fenglin is alright for now," Zhou Zhonghai said simply.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Qiaoqiao's mother said, "I'll go kill a chicken and send it over at noon. With our grandson gone, Jintao's mother probably won't be able to take care of Fenglin anymore. Alas, the poor child."

Qiaoqiao's dad went to the backyard to catch chickens without saying a word.

Qiaoqiao's eyes were red and swollen, and her face was pale. Zhou Wenhui quickly said, "Qiaoqiao, go and take a nap. I'll go see Fenglin with you at noon."

"Um."

Qiaoqiao nodded; she had no strength left.

"Gu Quan, go to my room and rest for a while. I'll bring you lunch at noon."

"Yes, Minister Zhou, you should go and get some sleep too."

"I'm hungry, I'll have a bowl of noodles first."

"I'm going downstairs, Qiaoqiao, why don't you have a bowl of noodles first?"

Qiaoqiao's mother hurried to the kitchen to cook.

Inside the house, Zhou Xiaowei saw Qiaoqiao and ran over: "Mom, are you crying?"

Instantly, Qiaoqiao hugged Zhou Xiaowei and burst into tears: "My little brother is gone, such a lovely child, just gone..."

"Mom, where is my little brother?" Zhou Xiaowei asked innocently.

Hu Xiaomei said softly, "Mom is sad, let her cry for a while."

After crying herself to sleep, Qiaoqiao kissed Xiaowei's face again and again. Every child is a mother's life, and Fenglin's child was gone, which took half her life.

In the small bedroom in the back room, Zhou Wenhui lay down next to Qiaoqiao.

"I always thought Fenglin was omnipotent. She had a fiery personality, and she would always stand up for me when I was bullied. The doctor said she collapsed because of malnutrition and overwork. Wenhui, I thought Fenglin married for love and that she was happy. Little did I know how much suffering she endured. Why didn't she tell me?"

Qiaoqiao spoke calmly, but tears still streamed down her face.

"She's too strong-willed. Actually, showing vulnerability appropriately is also a survival skill," Zhou Wenhui said, gently patting Qiaoqiao.

"Jin Tao's mother is too formidable. She talks about divorce all the time. Feng Lin is afraid she's not good enough for Jin Tao. Wen Hui, do you think Jin Tao will change his mind now that Feng Lin has lost her child?" Qiao Qiao asked worriedly.

"Jin Tao is not that kind of person."

"But what about Fenglin? Fenglin has a strong sense of pride and loves Brother Jintao so much. Could she get a divorce because she can't have children?"

"this……"

"Wenhui, I need to help Fenglin."

"How can I help?"

"Let her go to the city, leave Jin Tao's mother, find a job, and have the confidence to support herself. Then she won't have to worry about Jin Tao changing his mind."

"That's a good idea. Why don't we send her to the provincial capital to be with Jin Tao?"

"Will it work?"

"Sure, I'll talk to my dad."

"That's great! Fenglin has left this place of heartbreak and is in a better mood. With Brother Jintao by her side, she might even get pregnant."

"You should get some sleep first. Only when you're well-rested will you have the energy to face Fenglin."

Zhou Wenhui looked at his kind-hearted young wife with affection and urged her on.

"Okay, I'll take a nap then."

After saying that, he fell asleep without even eating any noodles.

Zhou Zhonghai ate a large bowl of noodles, his eyelids drooping so much he could barely keep them open, and went to sleep in the west wing.

Qiaoqiao's parents were busy killing chickens and making soup. Luckily, they could raise chickens at home, otherwise Fenglin wouldn't have been able to get a single sip of chicken soup.

While I was busy preparing, my third aunt arrived.

"Qiaoqiao's mother, is Qiaoqiao back?" Third Aunt asked as she entered the courtyard.

"You're back, Third Aunt, come in, come in and sit down." Qiaoqiao's mother, her hands covered in chicken feathers, called out from the kitchen doorway.

Third Aunt entered the kitchen, her eyes red, and asked, "My Fenglin?"

"Qiaoqiao said everything's alright. Jintao is watching over things. I'll kill a chicken and deliver it to Fenglin at noon."

"Qiaoqiao's mother, no, how can you kill a chicken? I'll go find Zhang Cuilian."

"Don't go. If it gets out of hand, Fenglin and Jintao will both be upset."

"No, Qiaoqiao's mother, my daughter has suffered such a great injustice in the Zhao family, are we just going to let it go? No, I have to get an explanation."

"What good will it do to give you an explanation? Even if you win, isn't Fenglin also upset? Unless you really want them to divorce."

"My heart is breaking. How did I, a perfectly healthy young woman, become a slave after marrying into the Zhao family?"

"Third Aunt, stop joking. Fenglin's health is important. Why don't we go to the hospital to see Fenglin together at noon? Luckily, your in-laws' car is here."

"Okay, I'll go with you to see Fenglin at noon. Sigh, I've been holding this in for so long, I couldn't sleep all night."

Auntie San sighed. Her daughter had miscarried, and now she was asking an outsider to kill a chicken. Zhang Cuilian, I swear I will never forgive you.
