Fall in love with your enemy

Continuing from the last time, I felt a pool of blood under my body. No matter how dumb I was, I should have known that there was something wrong with my body. But after thinking about it, the medicine was prescribed for me by Xiangyang. I took it when I was seriously ill three years ago and nothing happened. It was just an overdose of tonic. But now it has become a problem, and the bleeding spots make it hard not to think of something.

I have given birth and also had miscarriages. Although I have no physical sensation just now, when I think back to the past two months, my menstrual period has been delayed for a long time, and I also feel dizzy and nauseous. At first I thought it was just a reaction to anxiety, but now I think it is reasonable to say that it is morning sickness. I have also checked that you cannot over-nourish during pregnancy, otherwise it is easy to have yin deficiency and fire. In addition, I have a little high blood pressure, which is likely to cause bleeding or even miscarriage...

No wonder Uncle Hou looked at me like that, maybe he was worried, so he didn't dare to tell me about my pregnancy. Only if I didn't know about it, would it be better to keep it a secret in the Fu family. It would be safer to tell me after the three-month stable period. Otherwise, if I got pregnant when my body was not well, it would be easy for anyone to secretly abort my child.

I just didn't expect that I would be the one to fail...

When I woke up, the ward was pitch black, with only the lights on through the windows in the corridor. Gradually getting used to the dark environment, I hurriedly touched my belly, but unfortunately the baby was too young. I had only shared a room with Gao Xinci, and the earliest day was only two months. I couldn't tell whether I had miscarried or not. I suddenly wanted to cry, and the slightest noise I made woke up Feng Shizhi who was accompanying me in the ward.

He was lying on the small table beside the bed, leaning on his arms. He was startled and almost knocked over the porcelain bowl at hand. He turned on the light anxiously, got up and straightened my quilt, took my hand out to warm it. I don’t know how long I slept, but I saw that his eyes were red. I reached out to touch him, but he didn’t understand why. He dodged out of habit and then came towards me again. I don’t know what string in his heart was touched, but the pain suddenly surged up, and he covered his cheeks and broke down crying.

Feng Shizhi panicked and rushed to help me, but he was not as fast as the others who had been standing at the door. Aunt Wen Su was the first to push him away and hugged me in her arms, followed by Xiang Yang and Mo Nian. My uncle was unlucky as he was holding a large tray in his hand and it took him some time to put it down. In the end, he could only be squeezed at the outermost edge.

I really didn't care at that time. Seeing Aunt Wen Su was like seeing a life-saving straw. I pulled at the corner of her clothes and asked while crying and slurring my words: "Aunt Su, why am I bleeding? I'm scared... Am I pregnant? Did you save him? Is my child still alive..."

"Pregnant?" My uncle was the first to speak. He pushed Feng Shizhi aside and sat on the bed. He held my hand and frowned, "Shishi, did you have a nightmare? What are you talking about? How can your body withstand pregnancy now?"

I came back to my senses a little after he said this, but I couldn't take back what I had said. I still looked at Aunt Wen Su. She looked at me with worry and reached out to hook my sweat-soaked hair behind my ears: "Silly child, what are you thinking about? You are not suitable for childbearing for five years after the operation. I told you, have you forgotten?"

"Then why am I bleeding?" I touched my lower abdomen, feeling a little confused at the moment.

My uncle was extremely anxious. He let go of my hand and touched my stomach: "What's the bleeding? Where is it bleeding? Isn't vomiting blood a respiratory problem? Are there other bleeding points? Does it still hurt now?"

He asked a series of questions, and I couldn't answer most of them. Fortunately, it seemed that he focused on the last one. I reached out to wipe away my tears and shook my head.

To be honest, I didn't feel anything in my stomach, as if I had been injected with anesthetic. To be more precise, I could hardly feel anything in my entire body.

"She just took medicine, don't touch her, be careful not to catch a cold." Aunt Wen Su moved my uncle's hand away, covered me with the quilt, sighed and said, "Don't worry, Shishi is not suffering from an old illness, it's normal for her to be a little weak during the observation period. Can you take care of the family affairs? She can't be anxious anymore, thinking too much will not do her any good. I don't care about the other people in your family, whether they are dying or not has nothing to do with me, but Shishi is my half-daughter, I watched her grow up, if you can't raise her well, send her to my house, I don't mind having another child at home."

Unfortunately, my uncle could only sigh in the face of Aunt Wen Su’s accusations.

After Old Fu passed away, my uncle's say in the family has become less and less. Although he is not below me, he has been the head of the family for more than ten years. My second uncle now treats him like a child and basically doesn't let him participate in family affairs. My uncle mentioned it several times, but he always laughed it off. My uncle also said that he wanted to take me to Yingjing to recuperate, but neither my second uncle nor my brother wanted to let me go, and I didn't dare to believe him.

I don't want to rely on anyone, and I don't want anyone to have any ideas about me. No matter how good my uncle is to me, he is just my uncle, not my father, and he has hurt me before.

The ward was silent for a long time before my uncle took a deep breath and reached out to rub my hair, asking, "She wasn't pregnant and she didn't have an old illness, so why did she bleed from her lower body? There must be a cause."

Before Aunt Wen Su could reply, the door of the ward was kicked open with a bang. Uncle Hou, holding a lollipop in his mouth, was extremely angry from head to toe. "She's still a child! If your family continues to do this, her uterus will have to be removed! If your second son is a little monk, the eldest branch will be extinct in a hundred years! Who will inherit this huge family? How many grandchildren does the second branch plan to have?!"

Uncle Hou looked out the door as he spoke, deliberately lengthening his tone as if to enlighten someone. When he came up to him, even my uncle couldn't stand it anymore and said directly: "You're going too far. What good can it do?"

"It's neither good nor bad. I'm the boss of a pharmaceutical factory and I sell medical equipment. I have nothing to do with your other businesses. Hey, go back and ask your brother. I have a new batch of vaccines for rabies. Does he want a shot? If he doesn't want one, do his men want one?" Uncle Hou paused here, turned his head and raised his voice to the door: "There are a bunch of dogs guarding the door! Didn't I tell the child to rest? You make a little noise every now and then, and annoy your young lady to death. Can you bear the responsibility!"

"Second brother just wants to see peace all the time..."

"Why didn't he come to check on Ping An? What are these? Surveillance cameras? If you really just want to take a look, then there's no need to go through so much trouble. It costs a lot of money to hire these people a day. Can I personally provide him with modern and sophisticated tools?" Uncle Hou took out his phone and opened WeChat. The video was transferred to Aunt Wen Su's phone. He held up two phones to show his uncle: "Don't you want to see it? Take this. Shi Shi is awake now, so you should be relieved. He can leave. Please rest assured about my family's security, they are ironclad. I can also guarantee that neither the phone nor the Hou family will record or tell anyone about it secretly."

"Uncle Hou..." I pulled at his sleeve, and Aunt Wen Su secretly hit Uncle Hou when she saw this, and he stopped. It wasn't my uncle's fault after all, and there was no need to make a big fuss and hurt the relationship. Wenyu Hospital still had to open in Yingjing. I continued to act pitiful and reached out to tap my uncle again: "Uncle, where's my second uncle? Didn't he come over?"

"No, he took care of you for two and a half days during the three days you fainted. Something happened at the company, so he just went out. He left someone to watch over you. He has no ill intentions when it comes to major issues." The uncle said and winked at the outsiders.

I smiled bitterly, understanding what he meant. My second uncle might have really let me go, but it was inevitable that someone was watching me. I still had to pay attention to the situation, but I didn't think they would directly look inside through the ward window. I would just listen for any noise.

"So what exactly is Shishi's disease? You've been scolding me for a long time, but you still can't explain it. Can't you see?" My uncle patted my back to comfort me. I really had to avenge Uncle Hou's cold eyes. In just a few seconds, my eyes were twitching.

"I'm a pediatrician, not a gynecologist. Why do you keep wondering about me? Is your family still a child?" Uncle Hou said, and finally calmed down a little after seeing Aunt Wen Su's expression. He hugged his arms and coughed, "Endometriosis, also known as endometriosis."

"Endometriosis?" My uncle frowned. "Not pregnant? Is this disease serious?"

"What's good about her being pregnant? Do you really want to realize your dream of becoming a grandfather in your thirties?" Uncle Hou pursed his lips and said, "As for endometriosis, it depends on the situation. We checked and hers is the mildest one for now. She has abnormal menstrual period and dysmenorrhea. Is this usually the case with children?"

Uncle: “How should I know?!”

Uncle Hou: "Look, you are obviously not paying attention as a parent. How can you be an uncle and not know when your child is uncomfortable? Lack of companionship at home is also the main cause of anxiety and depression in children."

Uncle: "She is already 20 years old! And she is a girl. I am her uncle. I have to avoid certain things when a girl grows up. Besides, she is married. Ask her if she wants to see me every day?"

Their eyes suddenly fell on me. My hair stood on end and I shook my head subconsciously.

My uncle immediately pointed at me and said, "Look! Is this still my problem?"

Uncle Hou hissed and looked at me: "You little brat, why are you still trying to sabotage me?"

I was stunned for a moment, then immediately nodded and hugged my uncle. Then my uncle was speechless.

Uncle Hou clapped his hands and said, "Look! This is your problem. What's wrong with a grown-up girl? This is an illness, not something you should avoid. Besides, she is no longer your niece after she gets married? Then why don't she call you uncle instead of brother, okay?"

"You little traitor." My uncle choked back his breath and tapped my forehead: "Come on, how do you treat endometriosis? There won't be any sequelae, right?"

"If you wait any longer, you will definitely be infertile. As for you, you should hurry up and have children to inherit the eldest son's property. Anyway, I like you better than your brother." Uncle Hou waved his hands. When he was glared at, he continued unconvincedly, "Medication and surgery are all fine. It will take about half a year and you will recover slowly. My wife is watching over you in the hospital. As the godparents of our child, don't worry. You should find a way to get those people outside away. You should rest quietly from time to time. They are too noisy!"

"Godfather and godmother are still relatives..." My uncle said disdainfully, touched my head and pointed at the people around me: "Okay, if you have anything to say, go talk to your godfather and godmother. I'm relieved to see you wake up. I'm going to go outside to get some fresh air. The smell of disinfectant in this hospital is too strong."

"What a vicious business war. If the hospital doesn't spray disinfectant, it will be full of the smell of rotten meat and blood. Do you smell it?" Uncle Hou glanced and said with disgust.

The uncle said without missing a word: "Business war? How can I fight you? I haven't watered your fortune tree yet."

"You didn't water the trees enough when you were a kid! This dead kid has been a bad boy since he was young. Let me tell you, my daughter, when he was in school, every time your dad and I had a quarrel, this little bastard would climb over the wall to my room to get the boiling water to water my money trees! None of the trees I bought survived more than two weeks!" Uncle Hou got angry and spoke in dialect. Just then, the door of the ward opened and he was so scared that he almost crawled under the bed.

I should probably smile, but the person who walked in at this moment was Jiang Yinan. When he looked at me at the end of the crowd, he still had a faint smile on his face.

I wanted to speak, but there was something stuck in my throat. I coughed without making a sound. When I looked up again, I didn't know what to say. My uncle followed my gaze and patted me on the shoulder gently.

"I brought him here. You were sick, and if he stayed in Qianhe Hall all the time, he would make trouble. Besides... the old house is not very safe for him."

"Isn't home safe either? In other words, that's not his home, so naturally it's not my home..." I felt a little resentful when I saw him, and my words became more harsh.

My younger uncle had no way to refute, so he could only keep looking outside. I didn't care much about my second uncle's eyes and ears. If he was still unhappy, I could give him everything I had, except Jiang Yinan.

"I won't let him die." I gritted my teeth and said each word. I was about to get out of bed to confront them when my uncle hurriedly stopped me. Even Jiang Yinan came to stop me, but he said nothing and tucked the corner of my quilt.

"Don't go." He said softly. I don't know which action or words touched me, but the moment I lowered my head, a tear as big as a bean fell on the bed sheet.

"Nothing has happened yet, don't cry, it's unlucky." My uncle gave up hiding it, sighed and said to us, then pointed at Jiang Yinan: "Why don't you bring him to live with me first."

"Uncle, can you stop Uncle?"

"As long as you stay at home, you won't get attacked by anyone."

The room was filled with sighs. Murian was the first one who couldn't bear the pressure. She hugged Jiang Yinan from behind and cried, gasping for breath. Jiang Yinan turned around and hugged her to comfort her, but he was very powerless. Murian had no hope for my family anymore, so she had to turn around and ask Uncle Hou and Aunt Wensu for help, her little body trembling.

"Mom and Dad... Can you please save my brother? He is my last family. There is no one left in the Lin family. My mom and my brother are all dead..."

I was listening from the side. These words were indeed true. All the members of the Lin family were buried underground. In fact, Jiang Yinan was not her relative. They had no blood relationship, but they had been together for ten years. They were better than relatives. Xiangyang protected her and recited silently. Uncle Hou and Aunt Wensu felt soft-hearted when they heard it, but no matter how they thought about it, there was no best solution.

There is no evidence that Second Uncle killed Jiang Yinan directly. I can't say anything publicly or privately. He can use Chengcheng and me, but he never says a single truthful word. Sometimes I get nervous. I can't find any fault with his methods...

"How about... take him to my house to stay for a few days? My house is always safe, right? Even if something happens, there are doctors all over the house who can treat him as soon as possible." Uncle Hou paused, but his bad mouth was quickly put down by Aunt Wen Su.

I sneered. Two months ago I thought I was so great, but reality immediately hit me hard. There was nothing I could do even if I had to put myself into it.

I held Jiang Yinan's cheek with my hands and sighed deeply: "No need, he won't stay at home for his whole life, I'll take him away, no matter what the result is, I accept it, I will be with him forever, if Second Uncle wants to kill him, he'll kill me too..."

"Don't talk nonsense."

Someone around me tried to stop him immediately, but I couldn’t tell who it was. It was only Jiang Yinan. I only saw him in my eyes. I saw him laughing and holding back his tears.

"Retribution, this is retribution." He coughed lightly: "When I was with William, I killed so many people. I should have thought about it since then. I have been raised by him and will also bear his fate. It is my fate to die a bad death..."
