Chapter 2109: News of a Miscarriage

This girl, because of her behavior, could be considered to have married beneath her when she married into the Li family. The Li family members were all good-natured, except for Li Shi, and they treated the town girl well. However, this girl's haughty attitude gradually surfaced after she saw how Grandma Lu treated Li Shi.

Shu You explained, "An Qing's wife just married into the family two months ago, and she unexpectedly got pregnant so soon. She noticed that sister-in-law (Da Niu's Wife) only had one child, who is already over two years old. So she suggested that sister-in-law should have another child soon, especially since the eldest cousin is the oldest son of the Lu family and can't fall behind. She spoke politely to sister-in-law, but when it came to Lan Hua, her words were harsh. She said Lan Hua has been married for almost a year and a half and hasn't shown any signs of pregnancy. She urged Lan Hua to hurry up to avoid idle talk and suspicions of problems between her and her husband."

These words nearly drove Lan Hua to the brink. Li Shi, on the other hand, was sharpening her knives, saying, "She's the one with the problem. Our Lan Hua has been married for almost a year and a half, and there's been no sign of pregnancy. Who is she to meddle like this?"

Her words were not entirely incorrect. Lan Hua got married at the end of the year two years ago, just after she turned sixteen. At first, both Grandma Lu and Li Shi urged her to have a child soon, especially since Yu Fenglin was already twenty.

But Zhao Xi, who was a talented physician and a Disciple of Doctor Zhao, their family physician, warned against it. He said that sixteen was too young, and her body hadn't fully developed. Pregnancy and childbirth at that age were very risky. If possible, it would be best to wait for two more years.

Li Shi didn't listen to anyone else, but since Zhao Xi was Doctor Zhao's Disciple and highly skilled in medicine, his words were taken seriously. Li Shi dearly loved Lan Hua, so she told her to discuss it with Yu Fenglin and consider waiting a few more years. Yu Fenglin didn't mind waiting either.

Over time, however, rumors began to circulate. Although Lan Hua and Yu Fenglin explained themselves, some people believed the rumors.

This year, Lan Hua and Yu Fenglin indeed planned to have a child. However, it was the Chinese New Year, and they encountered such an ill-mannered guest.

Li Shi was genuinely considering taking action against her but didn't want to cause trouble that might affect the unborn child. "She's only fifteen this year. I'd like to see how she can be smug when she's in excruciating pain during childbirth."

Grandma Lu coughed lightly, saying, "Enough, don't say such things." Even though she disliked the young wife, she didn't wish ill upon an unborn child.

Surprisingly, just a few days later, news of the young wife's miscarriage spread.
