On the way back, Sister-in-law walked with me.
She was silent for a long time before speaking: "Minmin, I'm sorry. I know that Ren and I owe you. We didn't want it to be this way. You can hit or scold us; we accept it. But..."
I interrupted her, "Sister-in-law, don't say those empty words to me. I just want to know how you plan to make it up to me?"
She was taken aback, seemingly not expecting me to respond this way.
I smiled and took her hand: "Sister-in-law, you're pregnant now. From now on, we are like sisters. My child with Ren will even call you 'Big Mama.'"
Sister-in-law's expression softened instantly.
I led her to the edge of the fountain pool: "Sister-in-law, look, there are goldfish in the water."
Sister-in-law looked down.
Suddenly, I pushed her into the fountain pool.
She pulled me in with her.
Zhu shouted, "Help! The young mistress and the mistress have fallen into the water! Help!"
"Help!" Sister-in-law cried out in panic.
Mei Shouren was about to walk this way when he saw us fall into the water. Without thinking, he jumped into the pool and pulled Sister-in-law out first.
Zhu hurriedly jumped down to save me.
After falling into the water, Sister-in-law was startled and lost her pregnancy.
The Mei Family urgently called for a doctor.
I also called for a doctor from the Gu Family.
However, I asked him to prescribe a mild miscarriage medication.
After all, if falling into the water and not receiving timely treatment led to a miscarriage, how could I not compete with Sister-in-law for this drama?
Although the Gu Family doctor didn't understand what I was trying to do, he followed my instructions nonetheless.
When Mei Shouren returned from outside and saw me lying on the bed with a pale face, he said, "How could you be so useless? You couldn't even protect your own child?"
I felt tears welling up as I looked at Mei Shouren: "You actually blame me? Sister-in-law and I fell into the water at the same time, and you saved Sister-in-law first without caring about me, which caused my child to be lost. Now you still blame me?"
Mei Shouren pressed his lips together: "You know very well that Sister-in-law is pregnant; how could you compare yourself to her?"
I let out a cold laugh, "The child she is carrying belongs to the the Mei Family, and mine doesn't?"
"Moreover, we don't even know..."
I paused at this point and didn't continue.
Mei Shouren frowned, "What do you mean?"
I sighed, "You should go check on Sister-in-law; she just had a scare and her emotions are still unstable."
Mei Shouren stared at me for a long time before finally turning to leave.
I followed him, crying, "Shouren, I want to go with you to handle Sister-in-law's miscarriage."
"Even though I'm weak right now, I can't let others say that I can't accept Sister-in-law."
Mei Shouren hesitated, "You're not well; you should rest."
I shook my head, "No, I have to go with you."
"We need to act quickly. Now that I've lost my child, Sister-in-law's child can't stay either; she must have a miscarriage."
"Dr. Cui is our family doctor; he won't keep the miscarriage from my family. At that point, our family won't help you anymore."
"If this gets out, what will people say about us?"
Besides, "The incident where your brother attempted murder hasn't passed yet."
Mei Shouren pondered for a moment and found my reasoning valid, so he went to find his mother.
I forced myself to the door of Sister-in-law's room and heard her heart-wrenching cries from inside.
"Mom, please don't kill my child."
"Shouren, that's your own flesh and blood..."
I pushed the door open and saw my mother-in-law holding water in one hand and medicine in the other, trying to persuade Sister-in-law to drink it.
Mei Shouren stood aside, looking somewhat hesitant.
