"I have been hiding it from him." Yu Gancao sat on the bed and whispered with tears in her eyes, "Every time Han Qiu protects me in front of grandma, grandma will only get worse when he is behind her back."

Zhang felt as if a knife was stabbed in her heart when she heard this. She hugged Yu Gancao and cried, "That damn thief of the Li family, a good girl like me married into their family, but she tortured me like this!"

The mother and daughter hugged each other and cried for a long time. Zhang said angrily, "No, let your father take your eldest brother to the Li family tomorrow. We can't let that evil old woman think that no one in our family will stand up for you. It will be easier for her to control you in the future. I'll go tell your father now!"

"Mom, don't tell Dad. We can't go to the Li family to make trouble." Yu Gancao stopped Zhang.

"Don't stop me. The Li family is going too far. If I don't teach that evil old woman a lesson, she will become even more unscrupulous. You haven't committed any of the seven grounds for divorce, so how can that evil old woman torture you like this!" Zhang wanted to rush to the Li family and settle the score with Li Hanqiu's mother.

Yu Gancao choked up and said, "Mom, don't make a fuss. Mother-in-law has been instigating Han Qiu to divorce me these two days... Fortunately, Han Qiu loves me and Yu Jie'er and didn't listen to mother-in-law's instigation." Before she finished speaking, Yu Gancao was already sobbing.

"What? How dare she! What right does the Li family have to divorce your wife? After you got married, you have been filial to your parents, served your parents-in-law, and your husband. There is nothing wrong with you. Yet she dares to instigate Li Hanqiu to divorce you? Tomorrow, I will ask your father to go find the elders of the Li family and see if there is anyone in the Li family who understands what's going on!" Zhang was so angry that she shouted all these words.

Yu Gancao suppressed her tears and said, "Mom, I... I'm afraid I can't get pregnant. I was pregnant three years ago, but I fell while working and had a miscarriage. I haven't gotten pregnant again in the past few years. My mother-in-law made things difficult for me and instigated Han Qiu to divorce me because of this."

"You were pregnant three years ago? Why haven't I heard you tell me about it?" Zhang didn't expect that the problem was with her own daughter.

Yu Gancao said with a sad face, "At that time, Sister Yu was just one year old, and I didn't know I was pregnant. I didn't know I was pregnant until I had a miscarriage after the fall. It was not a happy thing, so I didn't tell you. There is no brother in the family, and my mother-in-law has been urging me to have a baby. I wanted to have a baby in the past two years, but I never got pregnant again."

Zhang looked worried, "Have you seen a doctor?"

Yu Gancao shook her head, "Not yet. I don't dare to go find a doctor. This time I came back, I also wanted my grandfather to check me out..." She looked at Zhang with red eyes and said helplessly, "Mom, what if I really can't have children and Han Qiu wants to divorce me? Yu Jie'er is only four years old, how can I bear to leave her!"

"Nonsense! You gave birth to Yu Jie'er and you're pregnant again, how can you be infertile?" Zhang no longer cared about cursing the Li family. She had a doctor who was better than the old man at home. She took Yu Gancao's hand and said, "Let's go and find Fifth Brother's wife."

Yu Gancao quickly wiped the tears from her face with her sleeves, "Mom, why did you take me to find my fifth brother's wife?"

"She knows how to treat diseases." Zhang had already left the house with the licorice.

In the yard, Yu Qiaoshan was pulling the stone roller to grind wheat, while Song was sifting out the wheat straw from which the wheat grains were pressed and piling it aside.

Seeing Zhang suddenly come out angrily, Yu Qiaoshan thought she was calling him back to the room, but he didn't expect Zhang to pay attention to him. Instead, she said to Song who was busy at the side, "Second sister-in-law, is Miss Meng in the room?"

"I'm here, sister-in-law, what do you want to talk to Meng girl about?" Song thought that Zhang still wanted Yu Jiao to use the money to send Yu Zhizhou to the county school.

Zhang had already walked to the door of the east room with Licorice, and said, "Licorice is feeling a little unwell. I'll ask Meng to take a look at her."

As she spoke, she had already opened the bamboo curtain and entered the east room. After greeting Yu Mengshan in the outer room, Zhang knocked on the door of the side room and asked, "Meng girl, are you asleep?"

Yu Jiao and Yu Fuling had both gone to bed, one was sitting at the head of the bed reading a book, and the other was embroidering a wedding dress.

Hearing the knock on the door, Yu Fuling answered it, put on her outer clothes, got out of bed and went to open the door for Zhang.

Zhang came into the room, suppressed her anger, and said with a smile, "Meng girl, your sister Gancao is feeling a little unwell, I want you to take a look at her."

Yu Jiao put the book in her hand on the bedside, put on a piece of clothing, got up from the bed, and said, "Sister Gancao, where do you feel uncomfortable?"

Zhang looked at Yu Fuling and was a little hesitant, but she couldn't hide the fact that she was going to see Yu Jiao, so she whispered, "Your sister Gancao had a miscarriage three years ago and has never gotten pregnant again. See if there's something wrong with her body."

Yu Jiao motioned Yu Gancao to sit down and raised her hand to feel her pulse.

Yu Gancao was puzzled. She had never heard that Fifth Brother's wife could diagnose illnesses. If she was bought to bring good luck, she must be from a very poor family. Why would a family with medical skills sell their children? But she didn't dare to ask.

"Change your hand." Yu Jiao said.

Licorice hurriedly stretched out his other hand, and Zhang asked nervously, "Is there something wrong with Licorice's body?"

Yu Jiao didn't say anything. After a while, she took her hand back and said, "It's not a serious problem. Sister Gancao had a miscarriage before and hurt her body. She has some kidney yang deficiency. She will be fine after taking a few doses of medicine."

Yi Gancao heaved a sigh of relief when she heard this, and a smile appeared on her face. "Can I really still get pregnant? How long will it take to recuperate?"

Yu Jiao smiled and said, "You can get pregnant naturally. You've given birth before. You just have some minor symptoms right now. You can take pregnancy soup for a month and it will be fine."

Zhang was overjoyed when she heard this. "Since Meng said so, then she will definitely be pregnant. Auntie can rest assured now."

"Come with me to Fifth Brother's room to get a prescription." Yu Jiao put on her outer coat and led Zhang's mother and daughter out of the room.

Yu Mengshan outside asked with concern, "Is Gancao sick? Where does he feel uncomfortable?"

"It's nothing, just a little waist pain. Miss Meng said she would prescribe a prescription and it will be fine after taking it." Zhang said with a smile, not wanting her family to know that licorice root is used to treat infertility.

Yu Jiao knocked on Yu Qizhe's door. Not long after, the door opened and Yu Qizhe stood inside wearing a long green gown. His handsome face looked sick. "What's the matter?"

Yu Jiao said slowly, "Please write me a prescription."

Yu Qizhe didn't ask any more questions, but stepped aside to let the few people enter the house.

He walked to the desk and sat down, flattening the papers on the table. He picked up the wolf-hair brush with his slender and clean fingers, turned his head to look at Yu Jiao, his calm and clear peach blossom eyes were like a cold pond, dark and deep.

Yu Jiao half-closed her almond-shaped eyes, and her delicate eyebrows and eyes added a little warmth under the dim light. She slowly said, "Five cents of wolfberry, three cents of raspberry, four cents each of Cnidium monnieri and Cuscuta australis, two cents each of red peony root, zelan, and cyperus, three cents of salvia miltiorrhiza, and two and a half cents each of curculigo and white peony. Boil them into three bowls and drink them while they are hot."

She spoke in a light voice, and her words were inexplicably convincing.
