After the separation, the family had a lot of fish and meat every day, and the best was furious

Chapter 272 Stillborn

Mother Shen's eyes fell on Lin Ting. When she was speechless, Lin Ting felt that the world was quiet.

"What are you looking at me for? Look, I can't save your eldest daughter-in-law, but if you want to know the result, I can tell you."

Lin Tingke was not afraid of upsetting Shen's mother at all. She could let Shen Dali take care of Shen's mother and return the money, which was her greatest kindness.

Mother Shen's mouth moved for a long time before she uttered a single word: "...Speak!"

Lin Ting looked at the main house and said, "The child cannot be saved. This outcome was destined from the beginning. If you are lucky, the person can survive. If you are unlucky, we can handle the funeral."

There is no advanced medical technology here, and Xu is five months pregnant. There are many unknown risks in abortion, and Lin Ting cannot guarantee that she will survive.

"Retribution... Retribution..."

Lin Ting didn't know what Shen's mother meant by these two words. Was she referring to what Xu had done to her, or to others?

Not long after the doctor left, he came out of the main house carrying a medicine box on his back, with Shen Jizu pulling him from behind.

"Doctor, you can't leave. You have to save my son. You can't leave."

The old doctor pulled his sleeve out of Shen Jizu's hand and said viciously,

"I've already told you that this child cannot be saved, but you refused to listen. Now the baby is stillborn. My medical skills are limited, so you should seek help from someone else."

"Doctor, you can't leave. How could my son die? You must have seen it wrong. Please take another look. You must save my son."

This is Shen Jizu's hope. He only has two goals in this life: to have a son and to pass the imperial examination. If he can't get one of them, he would rather die than live.

"Hey, face the reality. Don't bother with me anymore. You have to protect my master first. First, find some ginseng to replenish my master's strength until he recovers.

First use medicine to make the water come out, then take abortion medicine. After three days, the fetus will be expelled.

Remember, you must take the ginseng first, otherwise, given your wife's current weakness, she will die."

The old doctor had no idea how many times he had advised Shen Jizu not to have the child, saying it would be best to have an abortion in the first one or two months.

Now it's all right. If you don't listen to him, hey... the old doctor shook his head. Everyone has their own destiny...

Yang Xiuxiu also came out of the main house. She took a look inside and after the doctor came out, she followed him out. Anyway, she couldn't help much by staying here.

"Lin Ting, let's go back!"

Shen Qingzhou took Lin Ting's hand and they went back to Shen's house, and the village chief also dispersed the villagers.

"Okay, everyone, stop looking. We have to get up early tomorrow to pick peppers. Let's go back and stop looking..."

Liu Shiying also pushed Shen's mother back to the west wing. If Shen Jizu had been more low-key in the village, he would not have been despised by the entire Wushan Village.

He is now reaping the fruits of his own actions.

On the way back, Lin Ting didn't ask any questions, and Yang Xiuxiu told him what she had seen.

"Oh... I'm afraid Mrs. Xu is not going to make it. She just bled heavily, and even the doctor said there's nothing she can do. If she can't make it, oh..."

Lin Ting held Yang Xiuxiu's arm, and the two walked in front, while Shen Qingzhou and Shen Dali walked behind without saying a word.

"Mother-in-law, everyone has their own choices. It's all fate."

Although Yang Xiuxiu hated Shen Jizu and Xu, she was not very happy when she saw Xu in pain.

The next day, before dawn, the bad news about Xu came. She passed away in the late night.

The villagers spontaneously went to Old Shen's house. Shen Jizu dressed Xu in a half-new set of clothes. She had a stillbirth and the baby was still in her belly, but it was a very bad omen and unlucky.

The villagers were most taboo about these things. Before dawn, someone came to the village and said that they wanted to take Xu to the back mountain for cremation, otherwise he would turn into something unclean and their village could not afford it.

Shen Jizu was completely exhausted. He followed the villagers of Wushan Village with his body hunched, muttering to himself.

"My son, this is not true, it is not real, I must be dreaming."

I don't want to believe it, but I have to face the reality.

Shen Zhuxiong and Shen Dali also went to help. Usually, every family in the village would come to help during a funeral.

But Xu's situation was special and she couldn't stay in the village. A few people took her to be cremated, and the rest of the people went straight to dig up the grave and buried Xu's bones, not leaving them until dawn.

When Lin Ting was about to go out, the villagers had already dealt with the matter. The villagers came back and everyone washed themselves. Wushan Village was the same as usual, and there was no sign of any trouble at all.

Except for Shen Jizu, no one mentioned this unlucky thing.

The deceased are gone, and considering the character of Shen Jizu and Xu, the villagers have done their best for them.

……

After a month, corn and peppers have entered the harvest period, which is also a good time for Wushan to prosper financially.

Three days ago, Lin Ting received an invitation from Yu Kangle, asking her to invite Shen Qingzhou to attend a banquet at Nanxing Tower.

The corn and peppers are ripe, and Yu Kangle is also going back to Beijing to report. This banquet is for him to say goodbye to Lin Ting and others.

Lin Ting went to the college to pick up Shen Qingzhou. As soon as he arrived at the bottom of Nanxing Building, he saw that Qu Yuanxun and his friends' carriage was already parked there.

"Sister, brother-in-law, you are here too."

Lin Lin and Qu Yuanxun live in perfect harmony, and even though they don't have children, they are very loving and happy.

"Lin Ting, Qingzhou, you are here too, let's go up together."

The four of them walked together. Yu Kangle was in a private room on the second floor. His servants were guarding outside the room. As soon as the four of them came in, someone came to lead them.

After entering the private room, Yu Kangle sat in the main seat. There were only five of them there tonight.

"Everyone's here. Ask the people from Nanxinglou to serve the food."

The food and wine were served. Yu Kangle poured a glass first and said to the four people.

"During the past few months I've been staying in Wenzhu County, I've been grateful for the hospitality provided by Madam Lin and the Shen family, as well as County Magistrate Qu. You've also been busy running around for me. Tonight, I'd like to offer this wine to express my gratitude to you all."

Qu Yuanxun and Lin Ting also raised their glasses.

"Master Yu, you are too polite. This is what I should do. I put the people first and foremost. I have no choice but to do it."

Yu Kangle was very satisfied with Qu Yuanxun. He hadn't seen such a good official who was so dedicated to serving the people for a long time. As for those in the capital, it was better not to talk about them.

"County Magistrate Qu has governed Wenzhu County effectively, and you and your wife donated all the corn on your farm, allowing the imperial court to distribute the corn seeds.

This is an act of great love. I have already submitted a letter to the emperor. Your Majesty must be very pleased with County Magistrate Qu's deeds for the country.

I believe that before long, this official and Magistrate Qu will meet in the court of the capital, hahahaha..."

The tax revenue in Wenzhu County has increased significantly, and Qu Yuanxun's promotion is an inevitable trend. Yu Kangle will not misjudge His Majesty, nor will he misjudge Qu Yuanxun.
