Chapter 1000: Glaring (80)

What’s the problem?

Gu Haojun stared at Gu Lingling and asked.

"Because it has a strong hawthorn flavor." Yang Yunhai said, "You can smell the hawthorn even without tasting it."

Hawthorn?

Gu Haojun looked at Yang Yunhai confusedly, then at Gu Lingling.

What exactly do they mean?

Why doesn’t he understand?

What’s wrong with hawthorn?

Is it not allowed to eat?

"Of course not." Gu Chunhai responded with a darkened face.

He had specifically asked a doctor in the past.

Hawthorn is the first thing pregnant women can’t eat. Eating too much hawthorn helps in childbirth, causing premature delivery.

Those words still echoed in his ears today.

"No...can’t eat it? I didn’t know," Wang Meili said with an awkward smile. "What do you mean?"

"Haojun, don’t listen to them. Wasn’t it just a few days ago your aunt brought some hawthorn over? I thought I’d make some snacks for the girl to eat." Wang Meili grabbed her son’s hand in panic. "I didn’t know hawthorn couldn’t be eaten."

"When you were little, you also ate them, right? Didn’t you all grow up eating the hawthorn cake made by mom?"

"None of you had problems. Why can’t it be eaten now?"

Yes, he grew up eating hawthorn, especially the hawthorn cake made by Wang Meili, which he ate before he joined the army.

"Ordinary people definitely have no problem eating it, but the issue is that sister-in-law is not an ordinary person," said Gu Lingling. "She is pregnant."

"If a pregnant woman eats too much hawthorn, it has the effect of inducing labor and may cause premature birth."

Inducing drugs?

Gu Haojun immediately thought of the time when Yao Rumei was giving birth to twins — basins of red blood poured out. It frightened him so much he hid in the haystack by the door, not daring to come out.

He then heard the midwife Wang saying a few words before she left.

"Why give her inducing drugs? How could it not result in premature birth? They’re lucky to have saved one life."

"It’s truly sinful and will eventually face retribution."

At that time, he wondered what inducing drugs were.

Now, he understood.

Isn’t the inducing drug just the cake made by Wang Meili?

He remembered it clearly.

Before that, Wang Meili had made this hawthorn cake and given it to Yao Ruanqian.

They also had eaten it at that time.

Not long after eating, Yao Ruanqian felt fetal movement and went into labor.

At that time, it wasn’t the expected due date.

Now, it was just like the situation back then, but Yao Ruanqian was replaced by Liu Juanhao, and her Liu Juanhao was saved by Gu Lingling’s timely arrival.

If it was late...Gu Haojun didn’t dare to imagine.

The pool of blood on the kang bed is still there.

Extremely glaring.

"Stop talking nonsense. What’s wrong with eating some hawthorn? When I was pregnant with Haojun, we could pick any hawthorn from the mountain and eat it, and nothing happened." Wang Meili said, "Stop babbling nonsense."

"Haojun, don’t believe her." Wang Meili said to Gu Haojun, "I just kindly wanted to make some snacks."

"Besides, Juanhao is carrying my granddaughter. How could I be so cruel?" Wang Meili said, "Do you think I wouldn’t want my granddaughter?"

This statement could indeed be explained like that.

But there’s a saying, "Explanation is obfuscation."

The more Wang Meili is like this, the more it shows she’s guilty.
