Song Jingchen did not know how he got into the wheelchair. By the time he reacted, he had already arrived at Madam Li’s room.
Looking at the closed door, he felt his cheeks heat up.
After taking a few deep breaths, he reached out and knocked.
At this time, the sky was still dark, and Madam Li was woken up by a knock on the door. She put on a coat and opened the door. When she saw that it was Song Jingchen, she asked curiously, “Brother Chen, why are you up so early? What happened?”
“She… her period started. Her stomach hurts badly. Mother, go over and take a look,” Song Jingchen said calmly.
When Madam Li heard this, her first reaction was to be happy about it. Living under the same roof, Madam Li naturally knew that Shen Yijia hadn’t been having her period. Since Song Jingchen’s legs were crippled, and the two of them were still in the mourning period, she naturally wouldn’t think that Shen Yijia was pregnant.
Thus, Madam Li had been worried that there was something wrong with Shen Yijia’s body, but she did not dare to ask, afraid that she would make Shen Yijia sad. Now that Shen Yijia had started menstruating, although it was a little late, it meant that she could still have children.
However, when she heard that Shen Yijia was in great pain, Madam Li quickly brought her period supplies to Shen Yijia’s room.
Song Jingchen didn’t follow her. He turned his wheelchair into the courtyard and exhaled to calm himself down.
His wife had grown up.
Madam Li helped Shen Yijia change out of her dirty clothes and went to the kitchen to boil a bowl of brown sugar water. When she saw Song Jingchen in a daze in the courtyard, she found it funny.
She walked over with the brown sugar water. “Brother Chen, let Sister Jia drink this. Her stomach will feel better. She’s not feeling well. Tell her to lie in the house for the rest of the day.”
Song Jingchen was speechless. “Mother, I saw you walk to the door and then turn back.” he thought.
“Go quickly, child.” Madam Li urged.
Song Jingchen had no choice but to take the bowl and bring it into the house. Shen Yijia lay on the bed, limp and weak.
Song Jingchen placed the bowl on the table without looking sideways. “Mother said that your stomach won’t hurt so much after drinking this.”
Shen Yijia took a look and shook her hand to show that she had no strength. She huffed. “Feed me.”
Shen Yijia didn’t have much hope in it. The spiritual liquid didn’t work, so what was the use of a bowl of brown sugar water? However, when she saw Song Jingchen’s rare moment of awkwardness, she couldn’t help but tease him.
Song Jingchen paused. Seeing how pitiful Shen Yijia was, he couldn’t bear to leave her alone. He could only lean over and feed her spoonful after spoonful.
She didn’t know if it was a psychological effect, but after drinking the bowl of brown sugar water, Shen Yijia’s stomach didn’t hurt so much anymore. Her body felt warm and comfortable. She was also drowsy. She opened her eyes and glanced at Song Jingchen. “Hubby, sleep with me for a while more.”
After saying that, she closed his eyes. Perhaps it was because Shen Yijia didn’t make a big deal out of it, but Song Jingchen felt less awkward. Seeing Shen Yijia like this, he lay back down.
Shen Yijia rolled into Song Jingchen’s arms.
At dawn, screams sounded in Xiagou Village. The screams came from more than one place and spread throughout the village.
It instantly broke the morning silence.
At the Song family’s old residence.
Song Erlin’s wife, Madam Chen, got up early to go to the toilet because she was pregnant. When she passed by the courtyard and saw three people lying on the ground like corpses, she screamed in fear.
This sound woke the others up to investigate. When they saw Madam Chen sitting on the ground with a pale face, clutching her stomach, they fell over again.
