Chapter 937 Auntie is not a stepmother (12)

"It's very likely, but there is also another possibility, that is, both of you have no physical problems, and you can have children separately and with other people, but you two cannot have children together." Cao Shichu said in a light tone.

The woman was a little confused: "What do you mean we can't have children together, but we can have children with others? Are you asking us to each find other people to have children with? How can this be possible?!" She was horrified at the end, thinking that Cao Shichu was suggesting that they do something immoral.

Cao Shichu shook his head. He had no way of explaining the medical concepts of later generations to her, so he said to her, "Don't get me wrong. I'm just saying that there's nothing wrong with your body. You're very healthy. The reason you can't have children is not your fault. You'd better bring your husband to see a doctor as well."

The woman was stunned when she heard this, and said blankly: "It's not that I can't have children, it's my man?"

As soon as she understood what Cao Shichu was hinting at, she said in disbelief, "It's not my health's problem? I don't know how many prescriptions I've looked for in the past few years, I've taken more bitter medicine than water, and I've been scolded by my mother-in-law and my husband. I've suffered so much grievance and pain, and now you're telling me that it's not my problem at all? Then haven't I suffered all these years in vain?"

Cao Shichu was also a little confused: "Haven't you ever seen a doctor before? Didn't any doctor see that you were healthy before you took the medicine? It shouldn't be possible that so many doctors couldn't see it, right?"

The woman choked for a moment, glanced at Cao Shichu, and said in a low and somewhat guilty voice: "I didn't go to see a proper doctor. My mother and mother-in-law looked for folk secret recipes for having a child for me..."

When Cao Shichu heard her say this, he wanted to roll his eyes. He couldn't believe that there was someone who didn't even go to see a regular doctor and was so sure that it was her own problem that she couldn't have children. She even believed in those unreliable folk secret recipes. To be honest, this woman drank so many folk secret recipes and nothing happened to her. She was just lucky.

"Why would you rather believe those folk secret recipes that you don't know where they came from than go see a real doctor for a physical examination?" Cao Shichu couldn't understand her, her mother, and her mother-in-law's thoughts. Why would the three of them do such a weird thing? Are they afraid of spending money on seeing a doctor? But they must have spent a lot of money on finding a secret recipe, too?

The woman smiled awkwardly and said, "Don't people say it's very effective? And if you can't have children, everyone thinks it must be the woman's problem. Who would have thought it was the man's problem?"

"Then bring your husband here for a check-up as soon as you go back. If you don't want to come to me, you can go to the capital to see other doctors. You can also find a few more to verify it multiple times." This was all Cao Shichu could tell her.

The woman then quickly promised to bring her husband for examination.

Cao Shichu didn't expect that the next day, she would welcome not only the woman and her husband, but also her mother-in-law.

"You're the one who said my son can't have children?" The tall and strong old woman Wang put her hands on her waist, her eyes wide open, and said to Cao Shichu in a bad tone, "Why do you say that? My son is fine. If you dare to say that, I'll kill you!"

Her son Wang Shitou behind her was also glaring at Cao Shichu with a frown. The woman, Chen who came to see Cao Shichu yesterday, lowered her head and grabbed the hem of her clothes, not daring to meet Cao Shichu's eyes.

"I didn't say he can't have children, I just said he is very likely not to be able to have children." Cao Shichu corrected her.

"What's the difference?" asked Mrs. Wang angrily.

Cao Shichu glanced at her and could clearly see through her cowardice. If she really believed that her son would never have the problem of being infertile, then she would not have appeared in front of Cao Shichu now. Since she showed up, didn't that mean that she herself was not sure?

"Do you want me to check your son's physical condition? If not, then leave immediately and don't waste my time." Cao Shichu said impatiently. She didn't beg them to come to her house, so did she have to coax them to see a doctor? It's up to them to see a doctor or not!

Sure enough, after hearing what she said, the arrogance of Wang Pozi and Wang Shitou was deflated like a balloon being pricked.

Wang Shitou stretched out his hand and threatened Cao Shichu: "If it's not my fault, I will smash your house!"

Cao Shichu snorted coldly, took his pulse for a while, pricked a drop of blood with a silver needle, used his rare internal energy to check his meridians, and said decisively: "It seems that you have no chance to smash my house. It's your problem. Your seed is dead."

Commonly known as "necrospermia", this disease is incurable in later generations, let alone nowadays. Even a doctor as skilled as Cao Shichu is no exception. She is a skilled doctor, but it is impossible for her to create something out of nothing and bring something back to life. Even a skilled cook cannot cook without rice.

When Wang Shitou heard her words, his eyes suddenly turned red and he shouted, "Impossible! Are you saying I'm cowardly? I'll beat you to death!"

As a man, he would not accept the fact that he could not have children, even if he was a man hundreds of years later, let alone a man in the feudal era who valued the continuation of the family line? Therefore, Wang Shitou was furious and felt that Cao Shichu was humiliating him. In his collapse, he raised his fist and hit Cao Shichu.

Cao Shichu didn't expect to experience another ancient version of a medical dispute. She sighed, and in a few moves she beat Wang Shitou so hard that he was bruised and lying on the ground.

Before Wang Po and Chen could react, their fight was over. Wang Shitou was beaten badly. Wang Po immediately threw herself on her son, crying. While checking her son's injuries, she cursed Cao Shichu, a quack doctor, who not only slandered her son as a coward, but also cruelly beat him to death.

Cao Shichu unceremoniously threw the family of three out of his home.

There are always some people who are afraid to see a doctor when they are ill. Not only do they refuse to face their true condition, but they also take their anger out on those who reveal their condition.

She should have thought of it earlier. How smart can someone be to find out the cause of the disease without seeing a regular doctor and go looking for a so-called folk secret recipe? There is no normal person in the family.

After Cao Shichu closed the hospital door, she was annoyed to find that she had not asked them to pay for the consultation! She had treated Wang Shitou and kindly told them about his condition, but she forgot to collect the money and sent them away. What a mistake.

Wang Shitou and Wang Pozi naturally could not accept the facts told by Cao Shichu. After being driven out, they cursed her hatefully for a long time. However, her words remained in their hearts, making them think about this matter all the time.

Finally, Chen couldn't stand it anymore. She had suffered so much over the years and she was the one who most wanted to prove that she was not infertile. So she persuaded her husband and mother-in-law to go to the capital to find a few more doctors for examination, hoping that all doctors would make the wrong diagnosis.
