Female-dominated society: My husband is clingy and I can't shake him off

That night, Li Mo'er was still filled with fear, but she didn't have any more nightmares. She would only get up occasionally to take a look at Su Yanli's room.

next morning

Seeing that Su Yanli had a poor appetite yesterday, Li Mo'er gave up on cooking noodles and instead cooked a light rice porridge.

She brought the bowl into Su Yanli's room, intending to wake him up and give him some hot porridge, but seeing the dark circles under his eyes, she decided to let him sleep a little longer.

Li Mo'er carried a basket on her back and went to the back mountain to gather herbs. She wanted to work hard for her little family so that she could be by Su Yanli's side when he was sick in the future.

But gradually, Li Mo'er realized something was wrong. She came to the back mountain to collect herbs in order to earn money, to earn money for a better life, so that she and her family could live a better life.

But now, she's abandoned the sick Su Yanli, leaving him alone at home. What is she doing?

Li Mo'er slapped her forehead, immediately stopped what she was doing, and quickly walked down the mountain.

However, as soon as she saw the village, she encountered Li Tianming, who was anxiously pacing not far from her house.

Li Tianming suddenly saw Li Mo'er, and quickly ran over, grabbed her, and ran home.

"Mo'er, why did you go out? Su Lang has fainted."

"what?"

This time, Li Tianming didn't need to pull her along; she ran home in a few quick steps.

Li Tianming looked at the anxious Li Mo'er and shook his head.

Today she came to Li Mo'er to discuss matters concerning the shop, but there was no sound when she knocked on the door.

Just as she was about to turn and leave, she heard a dull thud.

Pushing open the door, they found Su Yanli collapsed in the courtyard.

At this moment, she no longer cared about the differences between men and women, and in her eyes, Mo'er was also her daughter.

She helped Su Yanli to bed and then went to call Doctor Wang.

After administering acupuncture to Su Yanli, Doctor Wang informed her of her condition.

Su Lang is pregnant, but she is malnourished in the early stages of pregnancy, and her blood and qi are deficient. The baby also shows some symptoms of oxygen deficiency.

Li Tianming silently kept these words in mind, and would tell them to Li Mo'er when she found her.

I haven't even had a chance to tell her yet, and she's already disappeared.

She followed behind, panting, as she was getting on in years and couldn't keep up with the strong bodies of the younger people.

Looking at Su Yanli's pale face, Li Mo'er regretfully slapped herself. She should have figured it out sooner.

She held Su Yanli's hand tightly and gently rubbed her cheek against his hand.

When Li Tianming entered the room, he saw that Li Mo'er seemed unaware that Su Lang was pregnant.

The thought of scolding her vanished; now, what mattered was Su Lang's health and the baby in his womb.

She patted Li Mo'er's shoulder, gesturing for her to come out with her.

Afraid of disturbing Su Yanli, Li Tianming specially took Li Mo'er outside and lowered his voice, "Su Lang is pregnant."

"pregnant?"

Li Mo'er thought it was some kind of illness and repeated it in confusion.

"Pregnant!?!"

Suddenly she remembered that in ancient times, "有喜" meant pregnancy.

She was so excited that she forgot to control her volume. She only realized what she had said after she finished and quickly covered her mouth.

However, Su Yanli had already woken up, and he also heard Li Mo'er's surprised voice.

He gently stroked his abdomen, and although the baby was not yet fully formed, he could almost feel its heartbeat.

He closed his eyes, letting the tears fall. He knew that once Li Mo'er found out about this, the child would no longer exist.

He really couldn't bear to part with it. If it weren't for this child, he wouldn't have been able to get through the early days of their marriage.

However, he seemed unable to keep the child. He still remembered Li Mo'er's answer that evening: she didn't want a child right now.

He opened his mouth, then silently uttered a sentence, "My child, it is your father who has wronged you."

He lay quietly on the bed, feeling the baby's presence in his hands, and the thought that this might be the last time they could spend together made him unable to breathe.

Li Mo'er, who was outside the door, hurriedly went to get the medicine after hearing Li Tianming's retelling.

Su Yanli was immersed in the world of parting until she was startled by the sound of a door opening, followed by another.

He knew that Li Mo'er had left; she had abandoned him and their child.

While Su Yanli was lost in her thoughts, the sound of the door opening came again.

It wasn't until Li Mo'er brought the prepared medicine and pushed open the door that Su Yanli hurriedly wiped away her tears, but Li Mo'er still noticed.

She thought Su Yanli was worried about the baby in her belly, which was why she was secretly wiping away tears.

So she took the medicine to the bedside and said, "Drink the medicine, and you'll feel better."

Little did they know that these words made Su Yanli's tears flow even more fiercely.

Li Mo'er looked at Su Yanli, who was silently weeping. Helpless, she held the bowl in one hand and could only wipe his tears with her sleeve.

Why are you crying so hard?

Su Yanli simply shook her head and remained silent.

So Li Mo'er stopped asking. If she waited any longer, the medicine would get cold and its effectiveness would decrease.

The medicine was fed directly to Su Yanli's mouth with a spoon. Su Yanli swallowed the medicine in one gulp as if she were going to her death. It was very bitter, but it was far less bitter than the bitterness in her heart.

Seeing that Su Yanli's tears only increased after she swallowed the medicine, Li Mo'er suspected that the medicine was too hot.

After that, she blew on each puff before bringing it to his lips.

However, his tears continued to fall, dripping into the bowl.

The saltiness of the tears mingled with the bitterness of the medicine.

Li Mo'er exclaimed, "You cry so much! Is this pregnancy-preserving medicine really that bitter?"

As she spoke, Li Mo'er was about to try it.

Upon hearing this, Su Yanli suddenly looked up at Li Mo'er with surprise and delight, her watery eyes sparkling.

She snatched the medicine from Li Mo'er's lips and gulped it down herself.

After drinking it, he even licked his lips; the medicine didn't seem so bitter anymore.

Li Mo'er looked at Su Yanli in shock. What was wrong with him?

Su Yanli blinked, puzzled, and asked, "Can this child stay?"

Did I say I didn't want this child?

Li Mo'er was puzzled, and she thought about it carefully.

Su Yanli pouted, feeling wronged. "But you clearly said you didn't want children right now."

"That means you don't want him now... Oh no, now that he's here, of course I want him!"

Seeing that Su Yanli's pale face was gradually regaining its color, Li Mo'er felt relieved and began to settle scores later.

She stared intently at Su Yanli, as if trying to bore a hole through her.

Su Yanli lowered his eyes, completely at a loss as to what to do, and also wondering why Li Mo'er was looking at him like that.

"Why didn't you tell me you weren't feeling well?"

Li Mo'er stared intently at him, making sure not to miss a single expression, even for a fleeting moment.

Su Yanli twisted her fingers helplessly and explained in a low voice, "I... I'm afraid you'll find out about this child."

"Afraid I'll make you abort him, huh?"

Li Mo'er's tone rose slightly.

Su Yanli nodded; he was indeed afraid of losing the child.

"Do you know that if it had been any later, the child would have been gone too?"

Su Yanli suddenly raised her head, her eyes filled with lingering fear.
