Chapter 1333: Ma Ling'er Has Gone Berserk
"No."
Ma Ling'er said triumphantly: "Right? There isn't any, I haven't put any pressure on you two at all, and Ranran isn't pregnant either, which shows that this method might work for other families, but it's useless for our family."
"Every family's situation is different; since that one is useless, then try this one."
Yun Qitian was almost crying: "Please don't be like this, if you are like this, Ranran won't be happy, and she will vent her resentment on me, and you are still pressuring me, aren't I caught in the middle..."
He shut his mouth.
He had said the wrong thing.
In a moment of anxiety, he had blurted out his inner thoughts.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship is very delicate, the superficial harmony is very fragile, and many mother-in-law and daughter-in-law pairs who usually get along well end up ruined just because of one poorly spoken sentence.
"Is your wife unhappy?"
Ma Ling'er's body swayed violently, she almost fainted, and her blood pressure soared.
She truly hadn't expected that her daughter-in-law was this kind of person?
She had always thought that Shi Ran treated her the same way she treated her own mother, because she called her 'Mom' and never skimped on the etiquette during holidays and festivals.
But looking at it now, it's different!
The logic is simple: if a daughter is dissatisfied with her mother, she says it directly, or keeps it inside, but in any case, she wouldn't relay it through Qi Tian.
A mother-in-law is ultimately not a mother; people's hearts are separated by skin, it is just different.
"Mom, Mom, what's wrong with you? I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's all my fault, please calm down, you can hit me or scold me, just don't make yourself sick..."
He was also trained in medicine, and seeing his mother's state, he knew it wasn't good.
Yun Qitian helped his mother sit down on the sofa and brought over a blood pressure monitor—systolic 180, diastolic 120.
He dialed 120 directly and sent Ma Ling'er to the hospital.
The hospital was full of acquaintances, and soon, the fact that Ma Ling'er had been sent to the hospital by her son due to high blood pressure was known to all her former colleagues!
There was no need to describe the cause of the illness; as fellow doctors, her former colleagues knew what was going on after examining her.
"Dr. Ma, you need to change this temper of yours. It was fine to be hot-tempered when you were young, but at this age, getting anxious and worked up easily leads to high blood pressure."
A diastolic pressure of 120 is no small matter; if not handled well, it can easily lead to a cerebral hemorrhage.
Fortunately, she was sent in time, and emergency measures were taken in the 120 ambulance, and after taking antihypertensive drugs, a major accident was averted.
Ma Ling'er was under observation in the hospital and needed to lie still without moving.
But the news of her hospitalization spread like wildfire.
The first to know was Jian Yixin.
She told Shi Youxuan, and Shi Youxuan immediately called her daughter to ask if she knew about this matter?
Shi Ran didn't know, and was equally shocked.
But Shi Ran quickly guessed why her mother-in-law was hospitalized.
"Mom, I won't talk to you anymore, I'm going to the hospital to see my mother-in-law."
"Go quickly, I'm coming over too."
Shi Ran wanted to say you don't need to come, the little sister is too young and can't be without you.
That was what she thought, and that was what she said, but after speaking, she found there was no response from the other end, and looking at her phone, it was out of battery.
Truly unlucky.
She just wanted to come out to find some peace and quiet, and actually forgot to charge her phone.
Forget it, going to see her mother-in-law is more important.
Hospital Ward.
Seeing Shi Ran, Ma Ling'er turned her head to one side, and tears silently slid down the corners of her eyes.
"Mom, don't cry, what's wrong with you?"
The daughter-in-law was still as concerned about her as before, but in Ma Ling'er's eyes, it was different now.
Yun Qitian tugged at Shi Ran's lapel, and then the two quietly walked out of the Hospital Ward.
In the hallway.
He confessed everything.
Shi Ran was speechless.
What was there to say?
She didn't know what to say either; should she blame her husband for having a loose tongue and betraying her?
What kind of life the two had been living these days—Shi Ran felt bitter in her heart, and her husband... felt even more bitter!
But they were only bitter in their hearts; now that her mother-in-law was hospitalized due to high blood pressure, she feared there would be no shortage of gossip to follow.
"Why are you two standing outside? How is your mother?" Shi Youxuan arrived, having run a bit hurriedly, with fine beads of sweat secreting on the tip of her nose.
"Mom, why did you come?"
Shi Ran blurted out.
"Nonsense, your mother-in-law is hospitalized, can I not come?"
Shi Youxuan glared fiercely at her daughter, blaming her for being inconsiderate.
Saying such things in front of her son-in-law—if Qi Tian were a narrow-minded man, he would definitely blame Ranran for not caring about her mother-in-law.
She entered the Hospital Ward to see her in-law, and when Ma Ling'er saw Shi Youxuan, it was like a drowning person seeing a straw to save their life, and she grabbed her desperately.
"You finally came, I've been wronged to death, you judge this for us..."
Ma Ling'er was aggrieved to the extreme, and she recounted to Shi Youxuan, from beginning to end, how she had been living at her son's house these past few days, helping them wash clothes and cook, so they could focus on making a baby without distractions.
The more Shi Youxuan listened, the more uncomfortable she felt, and her brows furrowed tighter and tighter!
She had thought that Jian Yixin might do such a thing after becoming a mother-in-law, but she hadn't expected Ma Ling'er to beat her to it.
"Why are you retiring? You haven't reached the age yet," she suddenly asked, veering off-topic.
Ma Ling'er followed Shi Youxuan's lead: "I'm thinking that Qi Tian is married. When he was young, I didn't take good care of him because of work, so now I want to make up for it."
"When a son gets married, there will soon be grandchildren. Taking care of them myself is always more reassuring than hiring a nanny..."
This woman has quite a knack for things.
Shi Youxuan tried to set a trap without showing it, but she didn't fall for it, circling the topic right back around!
"Children and grandchildren have their own fortunes. You are a bit too anxious. Just focus on recovering, and let's go on vacation together after you are discharged," Shi Youxuan suggested.
But she refused flatly: "I'm not going. You have many children, so of course you don't worry about the next generation. My Qi Tian is the only seedling of the Yun Family; I can't help but be anxious."
"If I don't see the two of them have children, I won't be able to close my eyes even in death!"
Shi Youxuan:...
Speechless.
She only suggested a vacation and hadn't said anything else yet, but she had already started escalating things; this conversation was impossible!
Shi Youxuan went back, but Shi Ran, as the daughter-in-law, had no choice but to stay and take care of her mother-in-law.
At the same time, this meant having to listen to her mother-in-law's nagging and brainwashing bombardment.
A lot was said, and many examples were given, but there was only one central theme—having children!
Shi Ran was about to have a breakdown.
Even with her good temper, she couldn't endure this kind of mindless bombardment, over and over again.
"Please rest easy and recover. Tomorrow, Qi Tian and I will go for another check-up, okay?"
"Good, good, Mom knows you are a good child."
The mother-in-law was satisfied and soon fell asleep.
The next morning, Shi Ran dragged her husband to get another infertility check-up, and the result was the same as last time—there were no problems at all.
When the test results reached Ma Ling'er's hands, she flipped them over and over, muttering to herself: "This shouldn't be. Where could the problem be?"
As a doctor, Ma Ling'er could not accept infertility without any cause.
She pondered deeply for three days and made a decision—to have them go to the United States for an in-depth examination!
Of course, she had to say this to her son; it was easier to bring up.
But while it was easy for her to bring up, her son was put in a difficult position!
