living room.

Li Jia, dressed in a green military uniform, frowned.

"Mom, weren't you taking me to see a top gynecologist? Why did we come back to the compound?"

"What kind of tone is that? Would your mother harm you?" Zhang Juan said unhappily.

Li Jia frowned: "Mom, that's not what I meant. The troupe has a performance recently, and I've been busy rehearsing. If it weren't for... how could I, as the group leader, have the nerve to take the lead in asking for leave?"

"You're blaming me now? Even a rooster can crow after three years, and you're a barren hen—" Remembering something, Zhang Juan quickly changed her tune, "If it weren't for you, why would I have to shamelessly beg for help?"

Although Zhang Juan changed the subject quickly, Li Jia still heard the phrase "a hen that doesn't lay eggs." If it were anything else, she wouldn't have been able to bear it, but this particular point made her feel guilty. A dark cloud settled over her spirited face, and she fell silent.

As Su Wantang and Lu Zhentian left the room, they overheard the conversation between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

It wasn't that I was intentionally eavesdropping; it's just that small, it's hard not to hear.

Suddenly, a sharp gaze swept over.

It's Li Jia.

My grandfather told me that she was a female soldier in the cultural troupe.

She'd been married to her older cousin, Huaidong, for three years, but she still wasn't pregnant. So, having heard that Huaidong was skilled in medicine, she decided to ask her to take a look.

but.

Based on what she just heard, it didn't seem to be what her grandfather had described.

But Su Wantang understood the older generation's desire for grandchildren, so she didn't refuse.

Lu Zhentian also heard what was just said. Thinking of what he had said to Su Wantang a second ago, "It's because of her good medical skills that the daughter-in-law from Huaidong came here because of her reputation," his old face immediately felt as if it had been slapped hard by a willow branch, burning with pain.

Just as he was about to tell Su Wantang that he was not going to watch anymore, he saw her walk up and greet the two of them.

"Aunt."

Su Wantang gave a perfunctory call and turned to Li Jia.

"Sister-in-law, I am a daughter-in-law from Huai'an, and I am also the doctor that your aunt invited for you. Please stretch out your wrist so I can take a look."

"Mom!" Li Jia's eyes widened in disbelief.

She consulted countless doctors, both publicly and privately, about her infertility problem, and they all said it was incurable.

Now, she's asking her cousin's wife from Huai'an to treat her. Judging from this, she should know traditional Chinese medicine, but given her age, how much skill can she really have?

Mom is really going too far.

Even if you don't get along with your third aunt, you can't joke about her illness.

Isn't this ridiculous?!

Li Jia, who was well-mannered, was angry but did not shout these words.

"Thank you, cousin and sister-in-law, but no need."

Li Jia stood up: "Grandpa, I have something to do, so I won't stay any longer. I'll come back to see you next time."

"Come back here!" Zhang Juan grabbed Li Jia's arm and pulled her down to sit.

Seeing this, Lu Zhentian sighed.

His eldest granddaughter-in-law is a good person, but she's stuck with a clueless mother-in-law.

“Huai Dong’s daughter-in-law, since you’re here, take a look. Wan Tang’s medical skills are quite good.”

“Grandpa.” Li Jia looked conflicted.

Su Wantang chimed in, "Sister-in-law, you're already here, why not take a look? It'll only take a little while, it won't take up too much of your time."

Li Jia looked over and saw Su Wantang's kind face, and couldn't help but wonder.

I just heard her talking to her mother-in-law. Knowing there's something fishy going on, she still rushed to see the doctor.

This cousin's wife seems a bit simple-minded.

"Look," Li Jia said, holding out her hand. "Don't feel guilty. I've seen so many doctors; I just can't—"

Zhang Juan kicked Li Jia.

It's one thing if your stomach doesn't cooperate, but why do you do something stupid at such a crucial moment?

We need to expose her incompetence! We need to tear off this capitalist slut's hypocritical mask! So that Dad will despise her!

"Mom, why did you kick me?"

Li Jia has never been a soft-hearted person; she only gives Zhang Juan, her mother-in-law, some face because of her husband.

Now that Zhang Juan is using her, she won't give Zhang Juan any face.

Instantly, several pairs of eyes swept over, especially Lu Zhentian's murky yet all-knowing eyes, which made Zhang Juan's scalp tingle.

She shrank back and licked her lips: "I...I'm too excited."

Su Wantang's eyes darted around, and she withdrew her hand.

"Sister-in-law, there's nothing seriously wrong with your health."

Li Jia's heart sank.

Seeing how serious Su Wantang was at first, I thought she had some skill, and I couldn't help but have a glimmer of hope, but I never expected...

While Li Jia was immersed in despair, Zhang Juan, who had been cowering like a quail just a moment ago, now crowed like a rooster, proudly and loudly.

"Dad, you see, I told you that the daughter-in-law from Huai'an wasn't honest. She clearly doesn't know medicine, but she pretended to be a miracle doctor to deceive you. Dad, you—"

"Shut up," Lu Zhentian growled.

After a moment, he spoke gently to Su Wantang, "Wantang, continue."

Zhang Juan's fingers were red from twisting.

But he was saved by that wretched grandpa. Over the years, Dad has secretly helped him a lot.

They've already been labeled capitalists, yet he still married her despite the rumors. What debt of gratitude? It's all been repaid long ago.

It's blatant favoritism towards the baby in her belly right now!

Zhang Juan's sinister gaze fell on Su Wantang's lower abdomen.

Su Wantang noticed the unfriendly gaze, but didn't think much of it.

You don't like me?

You'll be even angrier in a minute!

At this moment, Li Jia suddenly looked up, her eyes slightly red, and spoke in front of Su Wantang.

"Grandpa, don't make things difficult for your sister-in-law. My health is what it is, and I just can't let you hold my great-grandson."
