She wiped her eyes with her hand, her eyes brimming with gratitude: "Dr. Song, thank you! I'm so glad I met Sister Wei, and so glad I asked her for your information..."

Since Sister Wei's husband is willing to seek treatment from you along with her, if my husband is unwilling, then there's truly no point in continuing our marriage.

She and Wei Hongjuan met by chance. Since both of them had been unable to conceive after many years of marriage, they felt a sense of shared fate. However, Wei Hongjuan's husband and in-laws didn't put much pressure on the other.

She didn't say anything nasty, unlike her... who treats being unable to have children as if she's guilty of a heinous crime, deserving to be scolded and humiliated!

Song Lan did not comment on Cui Xiaochai's plans, because she was just a doctor and only needed to do her job well when dealing with patients. As for how patients chose to live, it was not something she, as an outsider, could interfere with.

Of course, Song Lan didn't have the time to meddle in other people's family affairs.

She gestured for Cui Xiaochai to lie down on the examination bed, then spoke briefly about the precautions for the acupuncture treatment. After that, Song Lan disinfected the silver needles to be used. Once all preparations were complete, she casually drew the curtain closed and said to Cui Xiaochai in a soft, gentle voice, "Relax."

Cui Xiaocha hummed in agreement, subtly adjusting her breathing to relax her entire body.

"Very good, keep it like this."

Song Lan praised Cui Xiaocha, saying her voice was very soothing.

Seeing that Cui Xiaocha was completely relaxed, Song Lan began to apply acupuncture. As time passed, one silver needle after another was applied to several acupoints of Cui Xiaocha by Song Lan.

Next, Song Lan activated her "Golden Eyes" and channeled her gentle internal energy, slowly injecting it through a silver needle that served as the core of the formation, thus forcing the toxins in Cui Xiaochai's body to the tip of her left index finger.

With a focused expression, she quickly picked up a silver needle with her other hand and pricked the pad of Cui Xiaochai's left index finger. The next moment, a dark red bead of blood appeared at the puncture site.

As dark red blood droplets slid down, the blood oozing from the pad of Cui Xiaochai's left index finger gradually changed to its normal color.

Withdrawing her gentle inner strength, Song Lan breathed a sigh of relief and began to rhythmically insert the needles.

"You can get up now."

After disinfecting each used silver needle, Song Lan put them back into the needle case and said something to Cui Xiaochai.

"this……"

Looking at the small glass bottle on the examination table, Cui Xiaochai's eyes widened: "Is this the blood that Dr. Song just expelled from my fingertip after acupuncture?" The little bit of blood in the glass bottle was obviously the wrong color. Could this be the toxins accumulated in her body?

Song Lan seemed to see through what the other person was thinking. She nodded and said, "The toxins that had accumulated in your body have been basically eliminated. Next, you just need to take the herbal medicine as I told you."

Handing the prescription to Cui Xiaochai, Song Lan said, "There are three doses in total. Come back after you finish them. If I go home to prepare for childbirth, you can come directly to my house. I'll come for a follow-up check-up then to see how you're recovering. Also, let me tell you how to prepare this medicine..."

In a gentle tone, Song Lan told Cui Xiaochai how to decoct the medicine, how many times to decoct one dose, and what to pay attention to when taking the decoction.

Finally, don't forget to tell them the location of the pharmacy.

"Dr. Song, thank you!"

This was the second time Cui Xiaocha had sincerely thanked Song Lan.

"It's my duty, no need to be so polite."

It was just a doctor's duty; Song Lan genuinely didn't take Cui Xiaochai's thanks to heart.

...

"What? You want me to go to the machinery factory's staff hospital for a checkup, and you want me to find a female doctor to do that kind of checkup? Cui Xiaochai, are you sure you're not out of your mind?"

Cui Xiaochai carried three doses of traditional Chinese medicine into the house. Ignoring the disgusted look and grumbling from her mother-in-law, she went straight to her and her husband Wang Yishan's bedroom. There, she saw the man holding an old newspaper.

She lay on the bed with her left leg crossed over her right, leaning against the neatly folded blankets, looking lazy as she flipped through them. She immediately mentioned that she had gone to the machinery factory's staff hospital for a check-up. Before Wang Yishan could say anything, she suggested that he take some time to get a check-up as well.

In an instant, Wang Yishan was like a cat whose tail was caught in a door. He dropped the newspaper, sat up, and glared angrily at Cui Xiaochai, scolding her.

"Whether I can get pregnant or not is not just my own business. Dr. Song examined me and said frankly that there was nothing wrong with my body, but because I had taken a lot of folk remedies that my mother had found for me, a lot of toxins had accumulated in my body."

Today, Dr. Song has removed the toxins from my body through acupuncture. Now, I just need to finish the herbal medicine I brought home, and my body will be almost fully recovered.

"I've been married for several years and haven't been able to conceive. You know how much my mother berated me. Now the hospital has diagnosed me with no health problems, so whose fault is it that I can't have children? It's obvious."

Cui Xiaochai's attitude was more assertive than ever before; she didn't want to continue taking the blame and being tormented by her mother-in-law.

Ignoring Wang Yishan's furious expression, Cui Xiaochai placed the medical record on the dressing table and continued, "You can see for yourself if you don't believe me. If you don't go to the hospital for a checkup, we can just get a divorce. Anyway, I've had enough. Don't expect me to take the blame for you anymore!"

"Take the blame for me? What blame are you going to take the blame for? I'm healthy and strong, what could possibly be wrong with me?!"

Wang Yishan didn't go to get the medical records from the dressing table. He angrily said to Cui Xiaochai, "Aren't you afraid of being laughed at? Let's go and get the paperwork done tomorrow!"

Cui Xiaochai didn't reply, but stared at Wang Yishan and said, "Strong body? You call that strong? You just have a big frame. When you do a little housework, you're not out of breath, but the sweat on your forehead is enough to prove how weak you are."

Dr. Song said that illnesses must be treated promptly; otherwise, minor ailments can develop into major illnesses, and major illnesses can be fatal.

"Are you cursing me?!"

Wang Yishan's face turned a deep purplish-red with rage. He pointed at Cui Xiaochai and said, "Now you better listen up, if you don't want to get beaten up, you'd better behave yourself, or I'll teach you what regret is!"

"You still want to hit me? Wang Yishan, come on, if you dare to lay a finger on me, I'll fight you to the death!"

Cui Xiaochai has truly risen up. At the same time, she is heartbroken. Because she has been unable to conceive since getting married, she has suffered so much injustice, cold looks, and ridicule in this family. They were all born of her parents, so why should she have to live a life like she is soaking in bitter water?

Now that we have medical records proving that her inability to conceive was not her fault, if we don't stand up for her, then all the suffering she endured in the seven years of her marriage is entirely deserved!

With tears welling up in her eyes, Cui Xiaochai suppressed the pain and bitterness in her heart and said, "We all live in the same town, you must know about the Sun family's affairs, but how does Sister Wei's husband, Brother Sun Hao, treat his wife?"
