Chapter 332 To Eat or Not to Eat
As expected, Lin Liuyi successfully obtained the pills from Liu Mingyue.
"Tsk, Xiao Liu, you really have everything!" Lin Liu winked at her, as if to say, "Sister, you didn't save one for your husband too, did you?"
Liu Mingyue didn't hide anything, "Yes, if he has other ideas, of course I have to protect my own and my child's interests. Otherwise, how can I let him have a bunch of illegitimate children competing with my child for things?"
"That makes sense! But, won't this cause any health problems?"
"Don't worry! This is a royal secret medicine. It will only cause male infertility and will not affect the body!" Liu Mingyue assured her that it came from the palace and was absolutely reliable.
Lin Liuyi took the pills and gave them to Zhao Qiong, also giving her a pill that would help her give birth smoothly.
Zhao Qiong breathed a sigh of relief after receiving it; she hadn't expected Lin Liuyi to actually have such a miraculous medicine!
I only asked the question out of hope, but I never expected to get such a good result.
"Thank you so much, Liu Yi!" Zhao Qiong now knew that Lin Liu Yi was from another world.
"You're welcome. By the way, you're a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner. After you give birth, I'll return a set of silver needles to you, and I'll also give you some books, how about that?" Lin Liuyi thought of the silver needles the other party had given her as a reward; it seemed they were her personal belongings.
"How can I ever repay you?" Zhao Qiong felt a little ashamed; Lin Liuyi had helped her so much.
"Hmm, no rush. You can find me some medicinal herbs after you give birth!"
Medicinal herbs? Zhao Qiong wondered if she could find the person who used to deliver medicine to their clinic and ask him to find a ginseng root so she could buy it and give it to Lin Liuyi.
Thinking of this, Zhao Qiong happily nodded in agreement.
That night, when the couple was sleeping, Zhao Qiong casually brought up the matter.
"What's wrong? Your legs are sore again? Let me massage them for you." Seeing that Zhao Qiong seemed a little distracted, Wu Jianjun immediately started massaging her legs.
Every time Zhao Qiong was pregnant, she would experience edema, and Wu Jianjun always knew what to do.
Looking at her considerate husband, Zhao Qiong found herself unable to say what she wanted to say.
Wu Jianjun is truly devoted to her. He goes home to take care of her whenever he has a day off, and he hands over all the money he earns to her without keeping a penny for himself. A few days ago, during the autumn harvest, he even took leave to come back, just in case there were too few people at home and she got tired.
When our daughter was born, he and his parents took care of her together, changing and washing diapers whenever he was home.
So the more Zhao Qiong thought about it, the harder it became for her to bring it up, but she really didn't want to have any more children.
"What's wrong? Have you been tired these past few days? Sigh, it's all my fault, I got you pregnant again!" Wu Jianjun sighed.
"No, Jianjun, I want to tell you something. These past few days, I found the pills I brought with me when I went to the countryside in that package, and I discovered that one of the pills was mixed up. However, this pill happens to be suitable for men to take, but after taking it, you can't have children. You..." Zhao Qiong didn't want to explain too clearly.
Wu Jianjun was somewhat unhappy after hearing this, after all, it was a matter of male dignity.
But when he looked at Zhao Qiong's big belly, he thought to himself, so what if he can't have children? His wife has already given birth to several children.
Wu Jianjun remained silent, and Zhao Qiong assumed he was unhappy, which immediately made her somewhat disappointed.
It would be somewhat hurtful to say that the man is infertile if word got out.
"That..."
"Then I'll eat it!"
"Jianjun, you!" Zhao Qiong was about to say that it was alright, but Wu Jianjun agreed, and she was touched.
"We already have several children, that's enough. If we can't have any more, so be it! It's better that I can't have any than that you can't!"
"Jianjun, don't worry, that medicine won't harm your body!"
Just as Zhao Qiong was about to say something more, Qiao banged on the door.
Who is it?
"I am your mother!"
Wu Jianjun's mother got up to go to the toilet, but when she got to the young couple's door, she heard them talking about not being able to have children and taking medicine. So she peeked through the crack in the door to listen carefully.
Upon hearing this, I became furious!
Good heavens, Zhao Qiong actually coaxed her son to take medicine that would prevent him from having children, how can this be allowed!
She started banging on the door, determined to stop this.
"Mom, it's so late, why aren't you asleep yet! Is something the matter?" Wu Jianjun opened the door and let his mother in.
"Hmph, thank goodness I wasn't asleep! Otherwise, I wouldn't know you'd be unable to have children!" Wu Jianjun's mother said sarcastically.
"Mom, what nonsense are you talking about? I wanted to take that medicine myself! It has nothing to do with my wife!"
"Hmph, don't try to cover for her. I heard everything. She's the one who made you eat it!"
“What’s wrong with eating it? It just means I can’t have any more children. I already have four kids, and with the two in my belly, that’s six, that’s enough!” Wu Jianjun gave up and plopped down on the bed, ignoring his mother.
"You can't have children? Are you going to become a eunuch? How do you know these pills won't harm your body?" Wu Jianjun's mother couldn't hold back her anger and shouted.
"Mother, everything will be alright!"
"Don't say a word! Don't think that just because you gave birth to a few children for our family, you can do whatever you want! You even forced my son to take medicine, what are you up to! You're up to no good!" Wu Jianjun's mother was now so angry that she was saying all sorts of things.
Zhao Qiong was also angry when she heard her mother-in-law say that, so she didn't argue anymore.
"Mother, how could you say that about Xiaoqiong? She's had several children in a row, and she's pregnant again. She wouldn't hurt me!"
"you!"
"Alright, stop talking!" I don't know when Wu Jianjun's father arrived, or how much he heard.
"dad!"
"Alright, since there's a problem, let's clarify it here!"
The family, who should have been sleeping, began to solve this problem.
"Xiao Qiong, let me ask you, will this pill really not harm your body?"
"Dad, of course not. This is a secret medicine from the palace back then. How could I joke about Jianjun's health? Besides making him unable to have children, this medicine will actually make him healthier!"
"Hmph, there's no such thing as a good medicine!"
"Old woman, don't say anything!"
"Jianjun, let me ask you. Are you really willing to take this medicine? Have you really decided that you won't have children in the future?"
"Dad, I've thought it through. I'm willing to take the medicine. I really don't want any more children. You know, with Xiaoqiong's baby in her belly, our family will have six children. How can we afford to raise them when they grow up? Anyway, I think this many children are enough!" Wu Jianjun also expressed his true thoughts.
"That's how they raise them in that village!"
"Mom, would you like your grandson to work in the fields in the future? I can only pass this job on to one child in the end, and the other children will continue to be old farmers?"
Wu Jianjun's mother fell silent.
