Finally, with the mediation of Wu Jianjun's father, he chose to swallow the pill whole.
"son!"
"Son, how are you? Do you have a stomachache or feel nauseous?" Although Wu Jianjun's mother had agreed to let her son take the pills, she still couldn't help but care when she saw him taking them.
Rural people think very simply: they only need to take medicine when they are sick; they would never think of taking medicine to avoid having children.
"Don't worry, Mom! I don't feel anything, the pill just tastes sweet!"
"You brat! How can you have such wild ideas!" Wu Jianjun's mother couldn't help but give him a beating.
"Oh, don't worry, Mom! I'm fine. I'm even planning to earn more money for your six grandsons!" Wu Jianjun comforted his mother, hugging her tightly.
He finally managed to coax his mother to bed, but now he has to coax his wife.
"Wife, I'm sorry. You know my mother is just stubborn but soft-hearted. She only said things because she cares about me!" Wu Jianjun went over and hugged Zhao Qiong again.
Zhao Qiong snorted and turned her head away. "You think you know your mother is doing this for your own good? You think the grievances I've suffered are nothing?"
Wu Jianjun quickly leaned closer, grinning, and said, "My good wife, I know all the grievances you've suffered. I just took the pills too, so from now on, I'll listen to you."
Zhao Qiong rolled her eyes at him. "At least you have some conscience. But you've finished your medicine, are you really alright?"
Although Lin Liuyi gave his assurance, Zhao Qiong was still somewhat worried because she hadn't seen it with her own eyes.
Wu Jianjun patted his chest and assured her, "What could possibly happen? I'm perfectly healthy. Honey, don't be angry. Let's live a good life together, and when we earn more money in the future, we'll let you enjoy a comfortable retirement."
Zhao Qiong felt a warmth in her heart from his words, and her tone softened. "You're so good at coaxing people. Fine, since you took your medicine, I won't hold it against your mother."
In fact, Zhao Qiong understood her mother-in-law's feelings. Anyone would worry if they heard that their son was going to take pills that would prevent him from having children.
But she really didn't want to have any more children, so Wu Jianjun had to put in more effort.
Wu Jianjun nodded quickly, "Definitely, definitely, I'll stand by you, my wife."
Finally, Wu Jianjun managed to appease his wife.
After delivering the infertility medication, Lin Liuyi was already thinking about Li Huanyan, who wanted a child, and wondered how she was doing.
Actually, Li Huanyan is doing quite well. She got pregnant smoothly, and because she knows it's a boy, she's in a pretty good mood.
"I'm so angry! Huanyan, you absolutely have to give birth to a boy this time. I must have a grandson!" Li Huanyan's mother-in-law said angrily.
It's obvious that it was that old lady Ma who provoked her mother-in-law again. Ever since she gave birth to her third daughter, her mother-in-law has been criticized by old lady Ma whenever she goes out.
This caused her mother-in-law to stay home for a while.
This is why she got pregnant again, and only then did her mother-in-law start going out again.
Li Huanyan secretly asked her sister-in-law and learned that Madam Ma had gone all out this time, even taking her grandson out with her.
She even bragged about it to her mother-in-law, no wonder her mother-in-law was angry.
“Sister-in-law, you have no idea how outrageous that old woman is. She was holding her grandson and said she wanted to share her mother’s good fortune with him. As soon as my mother reached out, she said that since we all have girls in our family, we shouldn’t hold him, lest it affect her grandson’s luck. That made my mother so angry.” Sister-in-law Yushan was also angry.
She was right there, but she couldn't bring herself to yell back.
"Later, my mother said, 'If a child isn't lucky, then he isn't lucky. Anyway, he wasn't good-looking to begin with, so we have to pay attention to him.' That made the old woman angry again, and she started yelling about how ugly her grandson was." Yu Shan said, and then covered her face and laughed.
"Is her grandson really not good-looking?" Li Huanyan asked curiously. She thought that children should all be cute when they are young and haven't fully developed yet.
"It's really ugly. Don't let the fact that we're the sisters fool you; all the sisters inherited your and your eldest brother's good looks—fair skin, big eyes, and so delicate. That grandson of hers, I don't know if he's been in the sun too much or what, he's all dark-skinned, with a flat nose, small eyes, and very thin hair. What's more, that old woman dressed her grandson in green to dress him up; that color combination is truly an eyesore!"
Yu Shan couldn't help but laugh when she thought about it; she wondered what kind of taste that old woman had.
The old woman, in particular, didn't realize it herself and kept showing off her grandson. One minute she would say her grandson was sensible, and then the child would start crying loudly. The next minute she would say her grandson was smart, and the child would start crying loudly again. Then she would praise her grandson, saying he would definitely have a bright future, and the child would continue to cry loudly.
Later, a woman who couldn't stand it anymore reminded her that the child was crying a lot because he was hungry.
As a result, the old woman went out without her wet nurse and hurriedly went back to take the child to school.
She left, and the other ladies burst into laughter.
Thinking about what would happen next, Zhang, the mother-in-law, couldn't help but laugh.
Li Huanyan laughed when she heard this. She comforted her mother-in-law, "Mother, don't be angry. I'm carrying a boy. Once I give birth, let's see what she has to say."
Her mother-in-law's expression softened a little upon hearing this, but then turned grim again.
"Will this doctor be alright? Last time with Sanya, the doctor also said it was a boy, but it turned out to be a girl. No, I need to go and get another doctor to take a look!"
He then left in a hurry.
Li Huanyan nodded with a smile, not worried at all. Liu Yi had said that this fertility pill would guarantee a boy.
Sure enough, her mother-in-law consulted several doctors, all of whom said she was carrying a boy. One doctor even said she might be carrying twins!
"Twins! It's been so long since our Chen family has had twins. The only ones were your great-great-great-grandmother's generation, who had two brothers. After that, everyone had only one!" her mother-in-law exclaimed.
Li Huanyan had only one thought in her mind at that moment: Lin Liuyi was too amazing! The pill he gave her could actually make her pregnant with twins.
If she could give birth to two sons in one pregnancy, her life would be perfect.
Her mother-in-law thought so too; after hearing that she was carrying twin boys, she walked with a swagger.
They even hired a doctor to stay at home and watch over her at all times. They also prepared double the supplies for the midwife and the baby.
But as soon as the news of her twins spread, Old Madam Ma came to visit immediately.
"Mrs. Zhang, you don't have two more granddaughters, do you?!"
"Get out of here! Who let you in?!" Mother-in-law Zhang was furious when she heard this.
That old hag, she never utters a kind word.
"Hmph, fine, I'll go then, who knows!" Seeing that Zhang was about to beat her, Old Lady Ma quickly ran away.
"You're lucky you ran fast!" Li Huanyan saw her mother-in-law stomping her feet in anger and about to go and argue with Old Madam Ma.
She quickly stopped her mother-in-law: "Mom, we don't need to argue with her. Let me give birth to the baby and see what she has to say then."
Her mother-in-law thought about it and agreed, so she suppressed her anger for the time being, hoping that Li Huanyan could give birth to two big, healthy grandsons soon.
