Madame Ruan’s words made Ling Tianya blush, but she didn’t avoid the question.
“Let’s wait till Tiny Rice Ball is a little older. When he is older, he will dote on his sister more. When I was a child, I always wanted to have a doting older brother when I was a child.”
When Madame Ruan and Wang Yazhi heard Ling Tianya’s words, they exchanged a look. There was a chance!
It looked like the lass was not against the idea of a second child at all, and she also wished to have a daughter.
Madame Ruan immediately broke into a wide smile. “Hahaha, alright! Then let’s wait a few years. For the sake of my great-granddaughter, I have to stay in good health and live a few more years!”
On the topic of a second child, Wang Yazhi suddenly became serious as she looked at Ling Tianya. “However, Yaya, regarding the issue of children, we need to let things be. Although Granny and I would love you to have a second child, your health is the most important thing. Don’t do anything that might harm you just for a baby. It’s not worth it.”
Wang Yazhi sighed before continuing. “Do you know this already? We just got news that your fifth grand-uncle’s eldest granddaughter-in-law’s baby died in her womb just as she was about to give birth. It caused internal bleeding and almost cost her life.”
Ling Tianya was shocked to hear this. “How did this happen?”
“It was all because of that ‘miracle doctor.’” Madame Ruan’s voice held a hint of helplessness and anger. “Originally, when people were saying that you were having a girl, he wanted to introduce the ‘miracle doctor’ to you, but I didn’t agree to it. It sounded shady from the start. Didn’t I call it from the start? If we had let you take the medicine from that fake ‘miracle doctor’ as well, you would have been harmed too.”
Wang Yazhi nodded. “Your fifth grand-uncle’s youngest granddaughter-in-law did manage to give birth to her child, but after the baby was born they found out that the child was brain-damaged and couldn’t be cured.”
“Didn’t they do periodic check-ups?” Ling Tianya asked.
“They did, but they did it with the ‘miracle doctor’. What can you possibly diagnose at a place like that?” Madame Ruan said angrily.
“Also, after what happened, his family brought the two older children to the hospital for a check-up and found out that both of them have problems with their brains. Say, what do you call this?”
“Now, that ‘miracle doctor’ knows that his trick is up and has long since fled. Your fifth grand-uncle is looking for him all over the world. However, now that this tragedy has already happened, nothing can be done to make up for it. Also, because of taking that medicine, his two granddaughters-in-law have damaged their bodies and cannot become pregnant anymore. Their parents are going at it with your fifth grand-uncles family over this. The first month of the lunar calendar is approaching, but they probably won’t be able to have a good Chinese New Year.”
When Wang Yazhi finished, she grabbed Ling Tianya’s hands. “That’s why, Yaya, you don’t need to feel pressured. Compared to children, you are the most important. As for a second child, we can let things be.”
Madame Ruan and Wang Yazhi’s attitude made Ling Tianya feel very touched. She was extremely grateful to have married into a family like this. At the same time, she felt sad for her fifth grand-uncle’s two granddaughters-in-law.
They were all good young ladies, but after their marriage, they had been reduced to tools for giving birth. They were the most innocent.
Before the New Year, Ruan Zeyan had many things to take care of.’ Almost every day, he would leave early in the morning and come back at night after Ling Tianya had already fallen asleep.
When Ruan Zeyan got back that night, he discovered that Ling Tianya hadn’t slept yet, but was waiting for him. He glanced at the time and frowned. “Why aren’t you asleep?”
