The days when I was an obstetrician and gynecologist in Chang'an

Chapter 905 Yu Xuelian's Struggle! (200 million words, thank you for being here!)
Yu Xuelian, who was worried about by the maid and Li Sanniang, was lying on the bed with a pale face. She had not eaten for several days and only had a pot of water to survive every day. In just a few days, her face became pointed.

The face that should have been that of a young girl was cute and lovely, but now it looked lifeless, like the old man in the twilight, just waiting to die.

Closing her eyes, Yu Xuelian's still beating heart was telling her something. She thought to herself, "Am I going to die like this?"

Yu Xuelian recalled the scene a few days ago when she contradicted her father in the main hall. She felt so happy that even the pain of starving for several days could not suppress the happiness in her heart at that moment!

This happiness was something she had never experienced since she was a child. It was a rebellion against the elders, or, in other words, a rebellion against patriarchy, even though she was suppressed, locked up and left hungry for days, and would most likely starve to death if she did not get help.

She was still happy in her heart, but Yu Xuelian was unable to express this experience in words at this moment.

She wanted to fall into a deep sleep so that she could forget the feeling of hunger. However, the more she wanted to sleep, the more Yu Xuelian couldn't sleep. The question from her father that day appeared in her mind again.

"You are crazy!
You are the daughter of my Yu family, so you must listen to me!"

Yu Xuelian, who was kneeling below with her head lowered and staring at the floor tiles, turned a deaf ear to Yu's father's words and did not respond at all.

Yu Xuelian's reaction directly ignited the nerve of Yu's father who was challenged in his authority.

Father Yu slammed the teacup on the table with great force, and the tea in the cup splashed out of the cup and onto the table. Father Yu opened his mouth to curse, but before he could say anything, the eldest lady of the Yu family who was sitting on the other side raised her hand to stop him.

Father Yu looked up and saw the disapproving look of the eldest lady. Looking at Yu Xuelian who was kneeling upright, he relaxed his breath and said, "I have raised you for more than ten years. Although I don't say that you have been well fed and clothed every day, I have never let you go hungry. I also allowed you to study in the family school like your elder sister.

That's not good enough for you?
Go and take a look at other people's homes in Chang'an City. Which concubine's daughter can receive such treatment?

If your mother hadn't said that even a girl should be well-educated and well-mannered, would you have been able to read?"

The more he talked, the more he felt that he was a rare good father who was very kind to the daughter of his family. The accusations against the disobedient Yu Xuelian became more and more obvious in his eyes.

"Even though you wanted to go to some midwifery school before, your father allowed you to go.

Now, your family needs you to marry and go to Dengzhou. Although Zhou Lang is older than you, you can be the head of the family once you go there. What's wrong with that?

I am your father, and I am doing this for your own good. How could I possibly harm you?"

Yu Xuelian listened to Yu's father's words, but she did not feel angry. Instead, she smiled a little.

Therefore, she did not hide it and laughed out loud in class.

When Father Yu heard Yu Xuelian's two "Haha"s, he was so angry that he shouted "rebellious girl" and threw the teacup in his hand directly towards Yu Xuelian.

With a "bang", the teacup hit the ground and the fragments happened to scratch the back of Yu Xuelian's hand, and a trace of blood appeared on the white back of her hand.

Feeling the slight pain on the back of her hand, Yu Xuelian raised her head, and smiled at Father Yu with curved eyebrows, "For my own good?
Haha, does father mean what he said? "

Yu Xuelian stared at her father's eyes angrily, "Let's not talk about the long journey to Dengzhou, Zhou Lang is fifteen years older than me, and he has a son and a daughter who are only a few years younger than me.

Is this the kind of man my father said is good for me?

Is my father really doing this for my own good?

Or would you rather sell me off and spend the betrothal money given by Zhou Lang?

Or maybe he wants to borrow Zhou Lang's hand to help his family's business?"

Yu Xuelian's words, which were like peeling off Yu's father's face and throwing it to the ground, made Yu's father very embarrassed. His face turned red, and he looked guilty as if Yu Xuelian had hit the nail on the head. "Nonsense!
To shut up!

shut up!
You are disrespectful to your father."

Before Yu's father finished speaking, he was interrupted by Madam Yu: "Okay, my Lord, don't be angry. Xue Niang didn't think that way. It's just that although the young lady is young, she can't think it through for the time being.

My dear, please don't be angry with your daughter. She is just accepting the favor now. Give Xue Niang some more time, she will figure it out."

Madam Yu winked at Yu Xuelian, who was kneeling below and still looking up at Yu's father with her head held high, telling her not to talk back any more.

But how could Yu Xuelian be willing to give in?
If she gave in any further at this moment, she would really be married to a man who was old enough to be her father. Not only would she be his concubine, but she would also be his stepmother.

So, she straightened her back, held her head high and said loudly to Yu's father who had lost his mind due to anger: "I will not marry Zhou Lang!
Impossible, I won’t go to Dengzhou!

Don't say anything about doing it for my own good, my father is just selling his daughter for fame and fortune!"

A very loud slapping sound was heard in the main hall. Covering her left cheek where she was slapped, the angry Yu Xuelian did not feel any pain at all. She looked at her father who had completely lost his mind due to her words, and she felt only a sense of relief in her heart.

Madam Yu was stunned for two moments before she reacted and quickly stood up to hold Yu's father's hand.

Father Yu raised his hand again, but when he saw Yu Xuelian's eyes full of mockery, he stopped and felt very weak in his heart.

Madam Yu took advantage of this opportunity to call the maid outside the door and asked her and the maid to drag Yu Xuelian out of the main hall.

Looking at the bright red blood dripping from the corner of Yu Xuelian's mouth after she was dragged out of the main hall, Yu's father paused for a moment and then said sternly: "Lock up this unfilial daughter and don't allow her to eat. I wonder how long she can resist me!"

For the next few days, Yu Xuelian, who was locked in her room, had only a pot of water every morning and nothing else.

Moreover, Yu's father did not allow anyone else to contact Yu Xuelian, and even the maid was only allowed to enter the room once every morning when she went to clean the toilet.

Madam Yu came and brought food. She said to Xuelian, "You should give in. The master is just angry because you are not obedient.

If you don't like Zhou Lang, just talk to your husband and find a husband who is your age.

The master of the house is the heaven, Xue Niang, don't resist."

When Mrs. Yu left, she left the plate of snacks for Yu Xuelian.

Although Yu's father had forbidden Yu Xuelian from eating, who could say anything when Madam Yu really left her a plate with only four pieces of snacks?

However, Yu Xuelian was stubborn and refused to eat a single bite even though she was extremely hungry.

The next day, the maidservant told her that the water-delivering maid brought out the tray of snacks intact. Madam Yu said helplessly to the maidservant beside her: "Why is this child so stubborn? She doesn't care about her own body. What will we do if something happens to her?"
