Chapter 2109: Chapter 2109: News of a Miscarriage Emerges
Because of this, the young woman marrying into the Li family is considered marrying down.
The Li family is kind-natured, and Madam Li is the only exception. Naturally, the town’s young women are treated with flattery and respect. Surprisingly, this young woman has become increasingly arrogant, feeling superior to the Li family.
Today, she also came over as a guest with the Li family, but she arrived late, and by the time she got there, Shu Yu had already gone into the mountains, so they didn’t meet.
At first, when she entered, she was obedient and demure, aware of her place.
But when she saw how the old lady treated Madam Li, she thought that there was discord between the Lu family’s second and eldest branches, and gradually, her true nature was revealed.
Shuyou said, "An Qing’s wife was married at the end of the year, and after only two months, she became pregnant. Seeing that Sister-in-law only had Zaozao, she suggested that Sister-in-law quickly have another child. After all, Brother Daniu is the Lu family’s eldest grandson and shouldn’t fall behind. She was polite to Sister-in-law, but when it came to Lanhua, her words were unpleasant. She said Lanhua had been married for almost a year and a half without any signs of pregnancy and should hurry up to avoid gossip about potential issues between the couple."
Those words nearly made Lanhua kick her out.
Madam Li was sharpening her knife on the side, "She has issues herself. My Lanhua wants to wait two years before having children; who is she to chatter on?"
This is true; Lanhua married at the end of the year before last, just turned sixteen.
At first, Lu Dasong and Madam Li said she should hurry and have a child, as Yu Fenglin was already twenty.
But Zhao Xi said sixteen was too young; her body was not fully matured, and pregnancy at that age was dangerous. If possible, it was best to wait another two years.
Madam Li wouldn’t listen to others, but Zhao Xi was Elder Zhao’s apprentice and a doctor with excellent medical skills. If he said so, it must be true.
She thought of Cuihua giving birth when she was only sixteen, which was quite dangerous, nearly resulting in a difficult labor.
On the other hand, when the slightly older Zhou Qiao and Shuyou gave birth, things went much better. Even Shu Yu intentionally waited until she was eighteen to marry, which certainly had its reasons.
Madam Li dotes on Lanhua and asked her to discuss with Yu Fenglin the possibility of delaying for a few years.
Yu Fenglin naturally had no objection, he was not in such a hurry.
However, over time, there was inevitably gossip nearby. Lanhua and Yu Fenglin explained, and some believed, while others did not.
This year, they indeed planned to have a child, but just during the New Year, they encountered such an inconsiderate person, bringing trouble.
Madam Li really wanted to act, but feared causing harm and the unborn child getting hurt, which would then be blamed on her.
"She is only fifteen this year; I want to see if she will still be so smug when she’s in labor, crying out in pain."
The old lady lightly coughed, "Alright, enough of such words." Although she disliked that young wife, the old lady would not curse an unborn child.
Shu Yu was surprised, only fifteen this year? She got married at the end of last year, meaning she married before coming of age?
Shuyou quietly explained, "Last year, the Li family sought a wife for An Qing. Afraid of missing the opportunity, the girl’s family wouldn’t wait for her coming-of-age."
Shu Yu couldn’t help but shake her head. Becoming pregnant now was indeed too hasty.
The Lu family was very displeased with the young woman’s words. While Madam Li said nothing further, who knows what she was thinking.
Unexpectedly, just a few days later, news broke that the young woman had miscarried.
