The next day, Sister-in-law had a terrible case of diarrhea. Dark red, bloody mucus filled her stools. She rushed to the bathroom again and again, and by the end, she was so dehydrated that even sneezing caused a little mess, forcing her to wear protective underwear.
Worried that she might have caught some illness, Sister-in-law wanted to go to the hospital for a check-up, but her mother-in-law stopped her. "You're just eating too much! If you eat less, you'll be fine! Don't waste money on unnecessary things!"
Exhausted, Sister-in-law lay on the bed and asked, "Mom, could it be that the raw Beef Testicles had bacteria in them?" Her mother-in-law shook her head vigorously, like a rattle drum. "That's impossible! Beef Testicles are highly nutritious; how could they have bacteria?"
She even brought the raw Beef Testicles over to Sister-in-law and urged her to eat more. "Xiao Xue ate them without any issues. Don't be so picky! Eat a few more Beef Testicles; that's how you'll have a son!"
Sister-in-law looked at the raw Beef Testicles, noticing tiny live worms wriggling inside. She grabbed my hand in panic. "Xiao Xue, what should I do? I hope I don't have those little worms in my stomach!"
"Xiao Xue, can you look it up online and see if these Beef Testicles are safe to eat?" Wang Shuang was a true rural person who didn't know how to search online and had to rely on me.
I patted Wang Shuang's hand reassuringly. "Sister-in-law, these Beef Testicles are perfectly fine. I ate them too, and look at me—I'm completely fine! Besides, Xiao Yue next door ate them and gave birth to a pair of twin sons!"
"If you're still worried, let's eat them together; it'll be alright." I picked up the chocolate imitation Beef Testicles I had prepared earlier and took a big bite.
"Sister-in-law, you need to listen to Mom; having a son is the most important thing." As soon as Sister-in-law heard me mention having a son, her resolve strengthened, and she swallowed several more Beef Testicles.
Her mother-in-law watched with delight as Sister-in-law consumed the Beef Testicles, feeling hopeful that she would soon have a grandchild. "Xiao Shuang, you and Xiao Xue should eat more for a few days. Before long, I'll be holding my grandson."
"Oh right, Xiao Xue got a raise! If you or Xiao Tao run into any difficulties in the future, don't hesitate to ask her for help; she can support you both."
I felt speechless inside. In my past life, she had pressured me just like this to unconditionally help Sister-in-law's family.
I resisted, and she acted as if she were on the verge of death. She even went to Lin Yu, crying and complaining that I was an ungrateful wretch, recounting all the good things she had done for me and how well Sister-in-law treated me. She insisted that I help her with this and that, and Lin Yu, unable to handle her tantrums, asked me to turn a blind eye and support them.
Later on, Sister-in-law started asking me for money every few days, and I could only give in. But now, I wasn’t going to be as overly compassionate as I was in my past life. Why should I care about the difficulties faced by Sister-in-law’s family? If it weren’t for them, Lin Yu and I would have settled down in the big city long ago. How could we possibly be crammed together like this now? Over the years, Sister-in-law had taken far more money and things from us than I could count.
As it turned out, Sister-in-law had been eating Beef Testicles for over ten days straight. A couple of days ago, she had even suffered from diarrhea. By the tenth day, her body gradually adapted to the taste of Beef Testicles, and she stopped having stomach issues. However, she still occasionally felt nauseous.
"Xiaoxue, are the testicles not fresh? Why do I keep feeling like I'm going to throw up?"
I feigned casualness as if something just came to mind: "Sister-in-law, is there any Beef Testicles left in the fridge? How much have you eaten?"
Upon hearing this, Sister-in-law hurried over to rummage through the fridge for the Beef Testicles. "There are a few left in the fridge, but not much."
"Xiaoxue, why don’t you let me eat the Beef Testicles from now on? Your health is better than mine; you should eat less."
I smiled: "It's fine, Sister-in-law. You eat them; I'm not in a hurry to have kids yet—just take them all."
"But Sister-in-law, are you pregnant?"
"You seem like you might be showing signs of pregnancy."
I remembered that in my previous life, both Sister-in-law and I had ended up pregnant around this time. This time around, I was taking precautions because I feared that if a child were born, Sister-in-law might harm it. After my reminder, Sister-in-law finally realized that her period had been delayed for a week.
"Let's go to the hospital and take a look," the grandmother decisively said, leading her sister-in-law to the hospital.
The doctor examined the sister-in-law and handed her a test strip. "You'll have to wait until tomorrow for the results. If you're anxious, you can try it at home first; two lines mean you're pregnant."
The grandmother nodded eagerly, pulling out several hundred yuan and stuffing it into the doctor's pocket. "Doctor, is my daughter-in-law having a boy or a girl?"
The doctor was taken aback and returned the money to her. "It's too early to determine the gender, and besides, it doesn't really matter whether it's a boy or a girl."
Ignoring the doctor's words, the grandmother supported her sister-in-law as they headed home, muttering to herself, "It must be a son, it must be a son."
The sister-in-law was also very happy, continuously rubbing her belly.
Once they got home, the sister-in-law used the test strip and confirmed that she was indeed pregnant. She danced with joy, grabbing her mother-in-law's hand. "Mom, I'm really pregnant! I'm really going to have a son!"
"It's all thanks to me," the grandmother replied happily, turning to me and saying, "Xiaoxue, you need to take good care of your sister-in-law, understand? You both need to support each other."
I nodded in agreement.
