Duan Xiaohe was so scared that she broke out in cold sweat and quickly helped Xia Yu up. Liu Da was completely dumbfounded. Even when Widow Li was pregnant, he knew that a pregnant woman's money was too expensive to touch. In the past, Widow Li's family members would always be nervous, but now, even Xia Yu's face turned white because of the pain.
"Idiot, go find Qin Rui!"
Only after Duan Xiaohe shouted her name did she understand the situation. Liu Da ran off immediately as Duan Xiaohe supported him back home. Seeing that the opportunity was right, she stood up and pushed at Duan Xiaohe.
Last night, it rained so heavily that the puddles on the ground were covered with wet mud that could not be controlled. With the man's push, Duan Xiaohe's legs slipped and fell to the ground uncontrollably.
Her falling didn't matter, but Xia Yu's stomach was hurting so much that he could not even stand steadily. He could only support her with his arms around her. When Duan Xiaohe fell, she fell as well.
Duan Xiaohe screamed, but Xia Yu, who was beside him, was screaming miserably. Fortunately she was fast, and before she landed, she hugged Xia Yu tightly and allowed Xia Yu to press down on her body. Beneath her body was a small pit with a few pieces of gravel in it, just above her shoulder blade and her injured waist. She was in so much pain that her tears almost burst out.
Maybe it was because his body shook a little when he fell down, although there was a cushion of flesh under Xia Yu's body, he was still in so much pain that he was almost unable to breathe. The aunt saw that the two of them didn't look good, so she picked up the bucket and ran away.
Liu Da shouted all the way over. Since Qin Rui had a foundation in martial arts, his heart skipped a beat when he saw Liu Da's anxious face but was unable to come out. He turned back the way he came.
When they arrived, they saw two people lying on the ground like two stacked arhats, so they immediately pulled them up.
Qin Rui wanted to pull her up again, so Duan Xiaohe urged him to carry Xia Yu inside first. When Qin Rui saw Xia Yu's expression, he felt that it was really bad as he carried her in.
Liu Da who had rushed over from behind did not care about Duan Xiaohe, and directly ran into the door.
It was not that Duan Xiaohe was pampered, but rather that her body truly lacked energy. There was still water on the ground, so the weather couldn't be considered warm. She calmed herself down and struggled to get up.
Just as he entered the house, he saw Qin Rui rushing out.
"Where are you going? How is Xia Yu?"
Qin Rui swept a glance at her and immediately walked to her back. Looking at her clothes which were completely drenched her back, he frowned. Then he pulled her collar down, exposing her bleeding shoulder blades where the stone had cut them.
His actions were too rough, causing Duan Xiaohe to gasp in pain. Qin Rui frowned, she pulled back the clothes and coldly said that she wanted to go back to get the medicine, and let her change her clothes before going back to take care of Xia Yu.
Qin Rui walked very quickly, and in the blink of an eye, he was gone. She recited Xia Yu, regretting that she did not speak too quickly with his earlier words, even more so, that he did not want to fight with him in front of his own home.
If Xia Yu or the child in her womb had any problems, how could she face Liu Da, how could she face Xia Yu!
Entering Xia Yu's house, Xia Yu was lying on top of it with her eyes closed. Her face was ashen white, cold sweat trickling down her forehead. Liu Da was so anxious that she looked like she was in a hurry. The hair that Xia Yu had just combed for him in the morning was scratched up just like that.
She lowered her body and whispered comfort into Xia Yu's ear. Xia Yu opened her eyes and weakly smiled.
"It's fine. It's just that my stomach is hurting a bit."
Duan Xiaohe was shocked, she ran out with her hands on her waist, wanting to see if Qin Rui had come over. Xia Yu called out to Duan Xiaohe, telling her to stay by her side.
She thought, for someone as pretentious as her, if it was her turn to cry, Xia Yu would only be accompanied by others right now, and would be even better off than she was.
She did not rush to change her clothes and just sat on the side of the bed, tightly holding Xia Yu's hand. Xia Yu's hands had also lost all color, and were drenched in cold sweat.
Xia Yu opened her eyes and pursed her lips. "It's okay, it's not so painful now."
How could Duan Xiaohe be at ease? She urged Liu Da to let him go out and see if Qin Rui had come over. Liu Da was extremely afraid, and did not want to leave.
In a short while, Qin Rui returned with a few bottles, and a silver needle wrapped in cloth. Seeing that Duan Xiaohe was still sitting there, she immediately urged him to change her clothes.
It was only then that Xia Yu saw the sorry state she was in, and remembered that there were still puddles of water on the ground. She saw that Xia Yu's expression was much better than before, and since Qin Rui was coming over, she let go of Xia Yu's hand, and obediently went to change.
She had just left when she was called back by Qin Rui. Qin Rui had stuffed a bottle of medicine into her hands, telling her to wipe it clean before applying the medicine.
When he came down again, Qin Rui had already pierced a needle into Xia Yu and also swallowed the medicine. She moved closer to Xia Yu, and saw that her face was already a little red. His eyes lit up, and he looked much better than before.
"Is the baby okay?"
Qin Rui looked at her, "It's fine."
Duan Xiaohe heaved a sigh of relief and said guiltily: "Blame me. If I hadn't gone up to fight, I wouldn't have harmed you."
Qin Rui raised his brows, "You can fight with people?"
Liu Da was at a loss of what to do, "I also hit him."
Qin Rui's eyebrows were twisted into a lump. "What's going on?"
Duan Xiaohe explained everything to everyone in front of them. Liu Da was very angry when he heard it, he raised his fist and went to find someone. Duan Xiaohe stopped him and said that it would be better to avoid trouble.
She sent Qin Rui out the door the second time, and when she reached the door, it was Qin Rui who spoke first.
"Are you trying to tell me to be more careful in the future and not come running over to your house?"
Duan Xiaohe really wanted to say this, she did not care about what people in the village said, but now that Liu San was not around, she had to avoid talking about it.
"Qin Rui didn't mind, but instead, took a step closer to her. No matter what you say, I will still come tomorrow. "
Seeing her frown, Qin Rui continued to play with the scoundrel. That's how shameless I am. It's not the first time you've known me. His body was in danger before the start of March, so Xia Yu had to rest well and not get out of bed in the end. Liu Da's hands were rough and his feet were rough. In the end, he left Xia Yu alone in his room, so as to not accidentally hurt him. I'll come back tomorrow. "
Seeing that he had left, Duan Xiaohe turned back around. After entering their room and telling them everything that Qin Rui had said just now, Liu Da was immediately unhappy, and was unwilling to live alone in a room.
Duan Xiaohe advised him for a long time before finally nodding her head and agreeing to let him make a bed in the house.
She sighed and said, "Why didn't you tell me about this huge matter earlier? It's not like I'm a man, what's there to be embarrassed about. How dangerous it was today. If Qin Rui wasn't here, I wouldn't have been able to do anything. "From now on, you should obediently stay at home and don't do those jobs anymore. I'll go to the county city in two days and tell everyone about this news."
Xia Yu held her hand and laughed, "I can still walk after that, I'm almost done. Others might not know my acupuncture skills, but it would not be good if I changed my clothes now."
Saying that, she rubbed her belly, "I didn't expect it either. It's just that I haven't been here for the past two months, so I was quite cautious. "Even though you are married, you have never borne a child. It would be useless if I tell you."
Seeing that Duan Xiaohe's expression was strange, Xia Yu realized that she had said something wrong and was worried about her.
"My child was born to be your eldest nephew. You must be in great pain. It is said that when a woman gives birth to a child, she is like stepping into the hall of the underworld. If something happens to me, you have to help me raise the child. "
She flung Xia Yu's hand away, "What nonsense are you spouting?"
The wound on his back was much better after rubbing the medicine Qin Rui brought over. A clear, cool, and not too itchy feeling would probably only take a day or two. However, the wound on her lower back was too painful, causing her to be unable to sleep on her back.
He turned his body and stared at the sky for an entire night, wanting to find Liu San and tell him that his big brother was going to be a father. But now she didn't even know where her man was. Where would she find him?
At that time, because of a grudge in her heart, she did not care about the pain or faking it, but today, when Xia Yu showed up, she clearly saw just how heartless she was back then.
It was only until the latter half of the night that she finally fell asleep. The first thing she did when she woke up the next morning was to find the Old Man Liu and tell them that Liu Da wanted to be their father.
Who knew that just as he stepped out of the door, he would run into a group of men who wanted to go down to the ground, and women who stood by the door and chatted with each other, all of them pointing at him.
Duan Xiaohe was baffled, she walked over to a familiar place, and stood at the entrance and called out: "Aunt, you called me? I see that you are all pointing at me. Is this a call to me? "
Those two people with broken lips laughed, saying that they didn't call her and only stood here spouting nonsense.
With that, the two of them left.
Duan Xiaohe acknowledged her as she continued to head towards Liu Er's home. She only slowed her pace as she eavesdropped on the gossip of others.
"She couldn't bear to find a man right after he left her family. How shameless."
Liu Jinfu did not go to your house last time? Be careful that Liu Jinfu comes to your house to scold again. "
"What's wrong with you? [He doesn't know us from the start, but are we wrong?] How could he care so much? Yesterday, the Lin Family's sister-in-law came back crying. Duan Xiaohe had admitted to fighting the two of them. Tsk, tsk, tsk, she was a widow to begin with, and now she has even made Liu Family number three into the Green Bastard. "
"I'm afraid that Liu San already knew that the two of them are dirty and left home in anger."
