Chapter 43 Jinjiang First Release Chapter 43 Fang Shu takes action, all...

Doctor Mo said, "I've been practicing medicine for decades. If I couldn't even see this, I'd have been fired long ago. If you don't believe me, go ask elsewhere."

Wang Fugui immediately felt a burning pain on his face.

If the baby in Zhang Jinling's belly is really that old, what does that mean? It means that her husband had another man before she married him! And now she is pregnant with that man's bastard child!

Wang Fugui's lips moved for a moment, as if he couldn't believe it, and the arrogance he had when he came in seemed to have completely extinguished.

Mrs. Wang then said, "That's impossible! I've seen other girls with five-month pregnancies have very noticeable bellies. But look at my daughter Ling, she's not even showing any signs of pregnancy. You must have mistaken me. Please take another look at her."

Doctor Mo asked, "Does he eat regularly?"

Mrs. Wang thought about it and realized that her son-in-law had eaten very little since he got married. They didn't deprive him of food, but he just didn't eat much.

Her face became uglier and uglier.

Wang Fugui pointed at Zhang Jinling and said, "Brother Ling, tell me the truth. What is going on?"

His words seemed to be squeezed out of his lungs, and it seemed as if he had used up all the air in his alveoli. "I treat you so well, I can't bear to let you do any work. I wish I could worship you every day! You..."

Zhang Jinling's face was pale and she didn't dare to say a word.

When Mrs. Wang saw him like this, how could she not understand? This was clearly a deception!

Her head buzzed, and she inexplicably remembered the quarrel at Yu's house a few months ago. What did Yu Qinglong say at that time?

Yu Qinglong said: "The pie in the sky is not something you can get! Think about it carefully, you idiots!"

Yes, how could this Ling Ge'er, at such a prime age and with such an outstanding appearance, have fallen for her son at first sight? It must have been her family's ghost who bewitched her. Now look what happened!

Mrs. Wang slapped her thigh violently, feeling utterly devastated. Her vision went dark and she nearly fainted.

Fortunately, Wang Fugui was close by and was able to support her: "Mom! Mom, are you okay? Doctor Mo, please take a look at her."

Doctor Mo took out the needle he carried with him and pierced several acupuncture points on Mrs. Wang's head.

Mrs. Wang quickly recovered, but continued, "Why am I so miserable? You, how can I face people in the future? Damn it, you two debt collectors, aren't you trying to kill me? Look at you, mother told you not to jump to conclusions, but you refused to listen and insisted on having him. What should I do now?"

Being cuckolded is something that will make you laugh at others for the rest of your life! Not to mention that you're still pregnant!

Wang Fugui felt extremely ashamed. No man could tolerate his wife being pregnant with someone else's child, let alone when Fang Shu and Yu Qinglong knew about it!

He now has to either divorce Zhang Jinling or abort the child and accept the loss.

But no matter which one it was, he felt uncomfortable!

Now he only hated himself for choosing to come today!

He knew in his heart that Zhang Jinling must be pregnant, and he also knew that Yu Qinglong would most likely return home today. He just heard others talking about how Yu Qinglong didn't marry him, but got lucky and married Fang Shu. It was a good thing she didn't marry him, otherwise she wouldn't have missed out on such a great opportunity. How could he compare to Fang Shu?

He felt angry when he heard it, so he thought of coming here today, so that everyone could see how handsome his brother Ling was! Now that he was pregnant, he had made the right choice!

But who would have expected this outcome?!

Wang Fugui didn't even dare to look at Fang Shu and Yu Qinglong's expressions! He felt like his face had been trampled into the mud!

At this time, Mrs. Wang said, "No! My Wang family can't be the victim of this! Let's go to the Zhang family and ask for justice! How dare you throw a pair of worn-out shoes at my house? I'll smash down the door of the Zhang family!"

Mrs. Wang pulled Zhang Jinling hard: "Come with me!"

Zhang Jinling cried and hid away, saying, "Mom, I beg you not to look for me. Can't I just give up this child? I'll bear a few more for Fugui in the future. I beg you. If you send me back, my family will beat me to death."

"Beat you to death? I should have beaten you to death long ago! You shameless thing! Living is a waste of food! Come with me now!"

"I won't go...Fugui, please say something for me."

Wang Fugui's heart softened a bit when he heard this. But thinking about how he'd been deceived, he felt a little disgusted. Thinking about how Zhang Jinling had given her body to another man before marrying him, he felt even more uncomfortable! It felt like having a pot of shit poured on his head!

He stood aside without saying a word, letting his mother and husband pull them apart.

Yu Qinglong was disgusted by this family and said to Doctor Mo, "Master, my father and the others are still waiting for me to return. Anyway, there's nothing I can do to help you here, so I'll go back today. I'll come back the day after tomorrow."

Doctor Mo said, "Okay, then you should go back soon. You finally got a few days off, don't rush back. And you guys!" Doctor Mo pointed at Mrs. Wang and the others and said, "If you want to make a fuss, go home and make a fuss. I'm only here to treat patients and not to deal with your family's mess! Get out of here!"

Mrs. Wang desperately tugged at Zhang Jinling, "Fugui'er, go back and divorce this shameless bitch! I'm going to find the Zhang family and ask them to return all the betrothal money!"

Wang Fugui's face was gloomy, but he finally went over. He grabbed Zhang Jinling's clothes and dragged her out.

Zhang Jinling was a boy, after all, and a skinny one at that. How could he withstand Wang Fugui's furious tug? He was half-dragged out of the Mo family's courtyard.

Yu Qinglong frowned as he watched, but said nothing.

People always have to pay the price for their actions. Zhang Jinling couldn't have been unaware that Wang Fugui was already married, yet she still chose to interfere. She must have known that Wang Fugui would have to break off the engagement.

She found a ready-made cheap father for the child in her belly, but didn't care about the lives of other brothers. She should have expected such an outcome.

"Brother Long?" Fang Shu saw that Yu Qinglong looked unhappy and asked, "What's wrong?"

"It's okay. Master, if he really didn't want the baby in his belly, could he have given birth to it earlier? It's only been five months..."

"You need to take medicine and then have acupuncture to induce labor. You can't do it on your own."

"oh."

"Are you asking me why I didn't keep it a secret for him?"

"I can't quite figure it out."

His master was a doctor with a compassionate heart. He always believed in saving every life possible. If he hadn't told Zhang Jinling about her five-month pregnancy, perhaps she could have kept it a secret, and the baby might even have survived.

Putting it so bluntly doesn't seem like something his master would do.

The master said, "Long'er, remember this from now on: it's okay to do good deeds, but be sure not to get involved in too many karmas."

Yu Qinglong seemed to understand, "Master, when we do good deeds, don't we inherently have to be affected by karma? After all, it's about saving lives."

Master said, "If you can easily save someone, it's called a good deed, and it only affects your karma. But if you can't save someone by yourself, then it's more than just a good deed. If you can't save someone by yourself, you often have to rely on others."

Seeing that Yu Qinglong still didn't quite understand, Doctor Mo said, "Just like the ginseng your senior brother helped me pick. If I can pick it by myself, it will be mine, and I can use it to save anyone. If I can't, then you should learn to let it go. If you can't let it go, it will become a disaster. Oh, forget it, let's not talk about this. Go back quickly, and don't listen to an old man like me nagging on the wedding day."

Yu Qinglong vaguely felt that his master was unusually impatient today. He was just wondering whether to ask again when Fang Shu said, "Then you should be busy first. Brother Long and I will be leaving first. I will come to visit you another day."

Doctor Mo waved his hand and picked up his herbs without looking back.

Yu Qinglong was dragged out by Fang Shu. When no one was around, he asked, "Why did you drag me out here? I feel like Master is acting strangely. Did something happen to him?"

Fang Shu said, "If I remember correctly, your late senior brother passed away this month. And as for the matter of the Wang family's husband, you can hide it for a while, but not forever. If Master doesn't tell the truth, there will be a lot of trouble later, and it will definitely not go away."

For a family like the Wang family, if they found out the baby wasn't theirs after it was born, wouldn't they cause a huge uproar? They'd probably blame the master for miscalculating the date.

Yu Qinglong didn't feel sorry for Zhang Jinling, but he was a little confused by his master's words: "You said to stay out of the karma thing. Master can be considered as a matchmaker for us, but doesn't that also involve the karma of many people? If it weren't for him, our relationship might not have been successful."

Fang Shu said, "How can they be compared? Master said you were good and that our Fang family was blessed to marry you. That was all true, no lies. Besides, that was also our Fang family's wish. But the Wang family's matter is different. If Master wanted to help the Wang family husband, he would have to lie. Moreover, if the Wang family knew that the baby in the husband's belly was not theirs, would they be happy? If they were not happy, they would complain, which would naturally lead to endless troubles."

Yu Qinglong thought about it and looked at Fang Shu with a smile: "You have a point. Let's go, I'll show you something interesting when we get back."

The couple returned to the Yu family's house, but they didn't specifically mention the Wang family's affairs. Yu Qinglong took Fang Shu to the backyard to see the tomatoes he had planted.

He said, "We'll take them with us when we go back."

Many small yellow flowers have bloomed on it, some have been pollinated, and small fruits can be seen.

Fang Shu had never seen this kind of plant before and asked, "Is this a vegetable?"

Yu Qinglong said, "It's both a vegetable and a fruit. You'll know when you eat it when it's ripe. This is my treasure."

Two of the seedlings have grown quite tall, and the third seed hasn't sprouted yet, so it's likely it won't grow. But he's already content that two of them are still alive.

"I found a place a long time ago. I can take them back and plant them today."

"Can I pick out a few of your big sticks to use as stands for them?"

"Of course, no problem." Fang Shu said, "What's mine is yours, just use it."

The young couple sat side by side, looking at the two plants and chatting. Bai Wanqiu came over and saw them, but for a moment he felt embarrassed to interrupt. Just as he was debating whether to talk about it later, Yu Qinglong saw him first and called out, "Brother Qiu'er, are you looking for me?"

Bai Wanqiu felt embarrassed when being called, and stood by the house: "Long Ge'er, I want to ask you something, can you..."

Yu Qinglong stood up: "Why not?" He told Fang Shu: "Go find my second brother and the others first. I'll talk to Brother Qiu and come over."

Fang Shu naturally didn't stop him, so Yu Qinglong dragged Bai Wanqiu deeper into the vegetable garden, chatting and weeding as well.

"What does little brother Qiu'er want to ask?"

"Hey, just call me 'Qiu Ge', you're older than me. I get embarrassed when you call me 'brother'." Bai Wanqiu said, "I, I just want to ask you... ask..."

"What?"

"That's right, I saw you walking pretty well. Do you have any medicine? Brother Ye was so fierce on the kang that I'm still in some pain. You studied medicine with Doctor Mo, do you have any medicine that can help?"

Yu Qinglong: “…”

Bai Wanqiu looked so familiar, and panicked, "What, what happened? Is it not allowed to ask?"

Yu Qinglong smiled and said, "No, it's about this medicine. Come back and I'll ask for you. But don't pull out all the vegetables."

Bai Wanqiu looked down and said, "Oh my God, he pulled out all the good vegetables!"

Those are the seedlings grown from the newly planted autumn cabbage seeds!

He quickly took a small shovel and dug a new hole to bury the grave. His ears were bleeding.

Yu Qinglong said, "Please ask my second brother to be gentler."

Bai Wanqiu said, "I told him. I begged him. But the more I begged, the more aggressive he became. I might as well just shut up."

Yu Qinglong laughed so hard that he fell down: "Okay, I, I will help you get some medicine when the time comes."

Bai Wanqiu said, "Long'er, please laugh softly so no one hears you."

Yu Qinglong said yes.

Later, Bai Wanqiu also wanted to return home, so she left with Yu Qingye.

Yu Qinglong ate five large buns at Zhou Yuehua's urging. Then, thinking of what Bai Wanqiu had said, and also missing his master, he went to the Mo family again.

Fang Shu didn't go. He was drinking with his father and eldest brother. Not long after, his second brother and Bai Wanqiu also came back, and they drank together.

Yu Qinglong chatted with his master for a long time and learned that it was nothing serious, so he shamelessly asked his master to bring back the medicine.

When I returned, I saw an empty wine jar in front of Fang Shu. Fang Shu looked a little pale, but he was in good spirits. Meanwhile, his father and brothers were already a bit drunk. The eldest brother couldn't even sit still on the stool anymore, so he sat on the ground, propping up his head, and looked like he was about to fall asleep. Bai Wanqiu couldn't even form a complete sentence.

My second brother was still somewhat energetic. My father and I looked like he was just trying to hold on.

Yu Qinglong hurried over: "Why are you so drunk?"

The second brother said, "Shoucheng drinks too much. I won't drink with him anymore."

Fang Shu smiled a little embarrassedly and whispered to Qinglong, "I told you to drink less, but my father-in-law and brothers said that was insincere."

Yu Qinglong was convinced. He helped to carry his elder brother into the house, and then helped his father and his father in.

Now, only my sister-in-law is left in the yard.

Yu Qinglong went to help his sister-in-law clear the table. His sister-in-law smiled and glanced at Fang Shu, saying, "I'll do it. Your brother-in-law wants to keep you all to himself."

Fang Shu looked at him eagerly with a red face.

Yu Qinglong said awkwardly, "Then sister-in-law, you should go and rest too. He and I will clean up, otherwise we have nothing to do."

The eldest sister-in-law said, "The young lady and the young man have returned to their parents' home and their father's home, so they need to rest. You can take your brother-in-law for a walk. There's not much stuff, and I'll be done in a short while."

Yu Qinglong said, "You should take a break. He and I can handle it."

Yu Qinglong called Fang Shu over and decided to clean up with him. After clearing the dishes, he went to organize the birch bark notebooks.

At this moment, a small jar fell out from Yu Qinglong's sleeve. Fang Shu picked it up and asked, "What is this?"

Yu Qinglong: “…”
