Transmigration: Becoming the Wicked Stepmother of Four Children

Chapter 47 Wang Xiuxiu's Miscarriage

The next morning, Lu Qingqing heard Aunt Zhang's anxious knocking on the door:

"Qingqing, Qingqing, something terrible has happened to your family!"

Your second sister-in-law is dying!

Upon hearing this, Lin Yunlan and Lu Qingqing quickly got dressed and opened the door for Aunt Zhang.

"Aunt Zhang, what exactly happened?"

Lu Qingqing asked anxiously.

Aunt Zhang, panting heavily, said:

"I don't know either, I just heard that your second sister-in-law suddenly fell ill."

She bled a lot, and was almost dead!

Lu Qingqing and Lin Yunlan exchanged a glance, their expressions tense.

He hurriedly followed Aunt Zhang to his second brother's house.

As soon as Lu Qingqing arrived at the Lin family's door, she saw Liu Cuihua blocking the entrance and preventing anyone from entering.

When Liu Cuihua saw Lin Yunlan, who was now healthy and normal, she was initially surprised.

It then returned to its original state.

"Hey, isn't this the third brother? You're all better now?"

Liu Cuihua said in a sarcastic tone.

Lin Yunlan frowned and ignored her.

Lu Qingqing was extremely anxious and said:

"Where is Second Sister-in-law? Stop talking nonsense and let us go in and see."

Liu Cuihua put her hands on her hips and said domineeringly:

"No way, who knows what you're up to!"

Lu Qingqing glared angrily:

"Human life is at stake. If you keep stopping us, can you take responsibility if something goes wrong?"

Liu Cuihua was intimidated by Lu Qingqing's imposing manner.

After a slight hesitation, he reluctantly stepped aside.

Lu Qingqing walked to the door of the second room and heard heart-wrenching cries coming from inside.

There's the second brother's, and also the eldest and second daughters'.

Her heart tightened, and without thinking, she pushed open the door and rushed inside.

The second sister-in-law was lying on the bed, her face as pale as paper, with bloodstains still wet on her hands.

Second brother Lin Yundong knelt by the bed, holding his sister-in-law's hand, crying like a child.

Daya and Erya were also standing nearby, their eyes brimming with tears, their small bodies trembling incessantly.

Lu Qingqing quickly walked to the bedside and reached out to check her second sister-in-law's breathing.

He checked her pulse again, his expression growing increasingly serious.

Lu Qingqing diagnosed the miscarriage from the pulse. Lu Qingqing inquired:

"what is going on?"

Second brother Lin Yundong choked up as he said:

"She got up to do chores in the morning, accidentally tripped and fell, and then..."

Before she could finish speaking, she started sobbing again.

Lu Qingqing frowned, looked at Liu Cuihua beside her, and said sternly:

"My second sister-in-law is pregnant, why are you still making her do chores?"

Liu Cuihua turned her head away guiltily, muttering:

"I don't know..."

Lu Qingqing didn't have time to argue with her, and turned to Lin Yundong, saying:

"Second brother, don't panic, I'll try my best to find a solution."

Lu Qingqing shook her head helplessly. This was a child they had finally managed to conceive.

It died before it was even born.

Daya and Erya sobbed, clutching at Lu Qingqing's clothes.

"Auntie, can you save my mother?"

Lu Qingqing tenderly patted the two children's heads and comforted them:

"Don't be afraid, your aunt will take good care of your mother."

At this moment, the second brother, Lin Yundong, was filled with remorse and kept hitting himself:

"It's all my fault, I didn't take good care of her."

Lu Qingqing quickly grabbed him:

"Second brother, now is not the time to blame yourself. We must protect your wife's health first."

After saying that, she began to get busy.

"Second brother, you take Daya and Erya out first, I'll treat sister-in-law."

Lin Erzhu then pulled Daya and Erya outside. As soon as Lin Erzhu stepped out,

Then they saw Lin Yunlan, who was healthy and normal.

He was taken aback at first, then a look of surprise appeared on his face:

"Yunlan, are you cured?"

Lin Yunlan nodded:

"Second brother, it's all thanks to Qingqing."

Lin Erzhu sighed, "That's good, that's good. It's just that your second sister-in-law..."

As he spoke, his eyes reddened again.

Lin Yunlan patted his shoulder:

"Second brother, don't worry too much, Qingqing will do her best."

Lin Erzhu wiped away his tears:

"I hope she can pull through this."

Inside the house, Lu Qingqing broke off another piece of the jujube and put it into her second sister-in-law's mouth.

A short while later, Wang Xiuxiu opened her eyes.

She looked at Lu Qingqing in front of her and said:

"Qingqing, what brings you here?"

Lu Qingqing held her hand and whispered:

"Second sister-in-law, don't say anything, just rest well."

Wang Xiuxiu smiled weakly:

"Am I...losing my baby?"

Lu Qingqing's nose tingled:

"Second sister-in-law, don't think too much, focus on getting better first."

Wang Xiuxiu's tears slid down her cheeks:

"It's all my fault for being careless."

Lu Qingqing comforted her:

"This is not your fault, there will be other opportunities in the future."

Wang Xiuxiu's eyes were filled with tears, and Lu Qingqing comforted her:

"You can have more children in the future, but you must take care of your health first."

Wang Xiuxiu nodded, her voice choked with emotion:

"Qingqing, it's all thanks to you."

Lu Qingqing tucked the blanket around her.

"Second sister-in-law, we are all family, don't be so formal."

Don't think about anything right now, just rest.

At this moment, Lin Erzhu's voice came from outside:

How is Xiuxiu?

Lu Qingqing called out towards the door:

"Second brother, second sister-in-law has woken up. She's fine, but she's still weak and needs to take good care of herself."

Lin Erzhu led Daya and Erya into the house and saw that Wang Xiuxiu was awake.

The family finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Lu Qingqing wrote down a prescription, and Erzhu immediately prepared to go to town to get the medicine.

Lu Qingqing looked at the family of four and said:

"Second Brother, let Yunlan and I handle the medicine dispensing."

"Take good care of your second sister-in-law at home."

Erzhu looked grateful and said, "Thank you for your help."

Lu Qingqing smiled and said, "We're family, so let's not talk like that."

After saying that, Lu Qingqing pulled Lin Yunlan out the door.

She asked Lin Yunlan to borrow an oxcart from the village chief's house.

Lu Qingqing, who owns an oxcart in the village, only knows Grandpa Zhang and the village chief.

A short while later, Lin Yunlan returned in the oxcart.

Lu Qingqing picked up the four little ones and sat on the oxcart.

The children were initially quite excited, chattering away non-stop.

But it soon quieted down, probably influenced by the somber atmosphere.

Lu Qingqing sighed softly and said to Lin Yunlan:

"Yunlan, let's hurry."

Lin Yunlan grunted in agreement, cracked his whip, and urged the old ox to quicken its pace.

The oxcart stopped in front of Baohetang.

Lu Qingqing quickly got out of the car to buy the medicinal herbs her second sister-in-law needed to nourish her body.

Just then, Manager Hu and Doctor Chu were both there, and Lu Qingqing asked where she could buy acupuncture needles.

Without saying a word, Doctor Chu gave her a set, saying:

"Madam Lu, please take it and use it. Don't be shy with me."

Lu Qingqing was in a hurry today, so she had no choice but to accept it first, saying:

"Dr. Chu, I am deeply grateful and will repay your kindness in the future."

Manager Hu smiled and said from the side:

"Madam Lu, you are truly a person of great loyalty and affection."

Lu Qingqing paid for the medicine and then hurriedly said goodbye to them.

They rode back together in an oxcart.

Passing by a general store, Lu Qingqing carefully bought two jin of brown sugar.

Then I bought thirty meat buns from the bun shop next door.

After boarding the oxcart, Lin Yunlan asked with some confusion:

"Qingqing, why did you buy so many steamed buns?"

Lu Qingqing smiled slightly: "The children have been running around all day, they must be hungry."

I bought a few extra for my daughters to take home and eat.

Lin Yunlan nodded, his eyes full of admiration for Lu Qingqing.

As the oxcart passed by her house, Lu Qingqing took another basket of eggs.

This was brought over by villagers who came to visit Lin Yunlan a couple of days ago.

She kept a basket for Lin Yunlan and the children to eat.

She wanted to give this basket to her second sister-in-law to help her recover.

Lin Yunlan helped put the eggs away and said:

"Qingqing, you've thought of everything so carefully."

Lu Qingqing sighed softly:

"My second sister-in-law has suffered a great deal this time, so let's help her as much as we can."

After saying that, the two continued on their way and soon arrived at the second brother's house.

When Lu Qingqing entered the house, she saw the family of four hugging each other and crying.

Lu Qingqing asked what happened, and Daya replied:

"My aunt wouldn't give my mother eggs, saying it would be a waste if she ate them."

Upon hearing this, Lu Qingqing's anger flared up instantly:

"What kind of talk is that! Second sister-in-law needs nutrition right now, how can you not give her food!"

Lin Erzhu wiped away his tears, feeling both angry and helpless:

"My sister-in-law has always been this mean-spirited."

Lu Qingqing placed the eggs and steamed buns on the table and comforted them:

"Don't be angry, second brother. Let's ignore her. I bought some steamed buns and eggs."

Second sister-in-law can eat as much as she wants.

Wang Xiuxiu was so moved that tears welled up in her eyes again: "Qingqing, thank you for going to so much trouble."

Lu Qingqing held her hand:

"Second sister-in-law, we are family, let's not be so formal."

Lu Qingqing asked her second brother to cook a bowl of poached eggs for her second sister-in-law.

She then gave her second sister-in-law acupuncture.

Lin Erzhu quickly got up and went to the kitchen, where he busied himself with tasks.

Lu Qingqing focused intently as she carefully inserted the silver needles into Wang Xiuxiu's acupoints.

Wang Xiuxiu frowned slightly, but still managed to keep quiet.

After a while, Lu Qingqing gently removed the silver needle and said:

"Second sister-in-law, how are you feeling now?"

Wang Xiuxiu said weakly, "I feel a little better."

At this moment, Lin Erzhu walked in carrying a plate of boiled poached eggs:

"Xiuxiu, eat it while it's hot."

Lu Qingqing looked at the bowl of clear soup with poached eggs and immediately took out the brown sugar she had just bought.

Said:

"Second brother, this is what I bought when I went to get medicine. Please give some to your wife."

The people in the room were somewhat surprised when they saw the two packets of brown sugar.

In this era, brown sugar was considered a luxury only for the wealthy.

Ordinary families wouldn't be willing to buy it.

Lin Erzhu stammered:

"Qingqing, this...this is too precious."

Lu Qingqing scolded playfully:

"Second brother, why are you being so polite with me? Second sister-in-law's health is the most important thing."

Wang Xiuxiu was so moved that tears welled up in her eyes:

"Qingqing, you're so good to us."

Lu Qingqing smiled and said, "We're family, so let's eat."

Lin Erzhu then added some brown sugar to the poached egg.

When the dish was placed in front of Wang Xiuxiu, she ate it in small bites, her heart filled with warmth.
