Having said that, she took Hua Erniang's hand and headed home.
Suddenly, Hua Erniang pulled her back forcefully.
"Don't tell your brother-in-law!" she implored anxiously in a loud voice. Seeing the people around them looking their way, she quickly lowered her voice, "Listen to me, don't tell your brother-in-law for now."
"Why not?!" Isn't this good news? Was Hua Erniang confused with joy?
Hua Erniang lowered her head and sniffled, "I've been married to your brother-in-law for almost three years with no children. He has never complained, and he has always treated me very well, always defending me in front of his parents. But I know, although he doesn't say it, he hopes more than anyone to have a child soon. Previously, Doctor Xing said that my condition wasn't incurable, which gave him a lot of hope. I'm afraid if it turns out not to be the case this time, I don't know how disappointed and upset he'll be!" she said, seemingly on the verge of tears.
