This little fellow, Gu Xutong, not only knew how to observe people's expressions, but he also knew how to help his mommy out of trouble. Moreover, he never got too close to his mommy in front of his grandmother.
"What are you still standing there for? Drink the medicine! Seriously, you didn't even pick up when I called you. It's not like you don't know how busy Ruohan is usually. It's not easy to go home, and you came back so late. The medicine is getting cold. Hurry up and drink it!”
Dong Fen's voice was filled with anger and displeasure.
"Oh."
Xia Xiaochan didn't dare to say anything and walked over silently.
He reached out and picked up the bowl of black medicine on the table. The thick smell of Chinese medicine rushed into his nose.
In one breath, he drank the bowl of medicine that was difficult to swallow.
Bitter!
It was a bitter feeling that went deep into his bones.
She seemed to have gotten used to this kind of intense bitterness.
Seeing Xia Xiaochan drink the entire bowl of medicine, Dong Fen's expression finally eased up a little.
"Don't think that I'm willing to force you to drink these medicines all day long. Let me tell you, this medicine was not easy to get. Mom spent a lot of effort to get it. I did so much just to make you two pregnant again.”
Dong Fen was a little superstitious and believed in those so-called fortune-telling and physiognomy.
She didn't know which master had told her that the Gu family's thin population had affected their luck. If the Gu family's luck didn't decrease in the future, they had to have a prosperous population.
Therefore, Dong Fen had been forcing them to have a second child. Perhaps after the second child, there would be a third and fourth child.
Xia Xiaochan had been drinking all kinds of Chinese medicine for a long time.
"..." Xia Xiaochan didn't say anything.
"Xiao Chan, it's not that I want to criticize you, but I'm very unhappy that you're running around outside all day! Tell me, is it because our Gu family can't afford to support you or can't tolerate you anymore? Do I need you, the young mistress of the Gu family, to go out and work? Your current task is to give birth to a few more children for our Gu family! Having many children and grandchildren was the blessing of a family!”
Dong Fen's voice was sinister as she began her daily preaching.
Xia Xiaochan lowered her eyes, and there was no expression on her face. In front of her mother-in-law, she had always been a submissive character.
She had long gotten used to her mother-in-law's domineering and unreasonable attitude.
" Don't blame me for forcing you. Ruohan's father passed away early, and I became a widow when I was 30. I raised Ruohan with my pants down. I've been through a lot as a woman all these years, and it's not easy for me…I don't have any other requests. I just hope that the Gu family will prosper so that Ruohan's father can live in peace in the afterlife…"
Her mother-in-law often said this, and she would repeat it from time to time.
Xia Xiaochan remained silent and listened quietly.
Seeing that she did not resist, her mother-in-law began to brainwash her again. "Look, how long have you been drinking this soup? I don't even know how many different kinds it has been, but you guys haven't even made a move? Other families can have two children in three years, but you can't even have a second child after so many years. It's so worrying!”
"Mom has to remind you that this woman has to have a few more children to lock down a man! Can you guarantee that your man won't have a change of heart? As long as there's a child, a man won't tear down the family so easily…Listen to Mom, there are plenty of young ladies who miss an outstanding man like our Ruohan. If you can't give the Gu family a few more children, I think something will happen sooner or later…"
Dong Fen laughed coldly as she brainwashed Xia Xiaochan.
Xia Xiaochan did not refute and obediently replied,"I know, Mom."
"If you know, why aren't you going up? " Go up and tell Ruohan to drink less. If he drinks too much, it's not good for conception…I told him to have sex within 30 minutes after drinking the decoction. The chances of conception will be higher. Conception also requires skills. You have to be more careful…" Dong Fen said these words in front of Tongtong without any scruples.
Her mother-in-law did not even bother to let her eat and was in a hurry to let her go upstairs to share the room with Gu Ruohan.
Xia Xiaochan didn't say anything. She silently turned around and went upstairs.
How many more?
But how was she going to give birth?
She had never shared a bed with Gu Ruohan. How could she have a child?
Xia Xiaochan found it ridiculous.
When she went upstairs and pushed open the bedroom door, she could smell the strong smell of alcohol.
Gu Ruohan was leaning lazily on the sofa outside. There was a bottle of wine on the table that was almost empty.
Gu Ruohan glanced at her, then looked away and continued drinking. She was like air, completely ignoring her.#
