Huo Xiaocheng took off his wife's cotton-padded coat, then placed her feet on his stomach for a while to warm them. Looking at his wife, who was becoming drowsy, he whispered...

"How about we don't have children?"

"Um?"

Chunying didn't open her eyes and asked a question.

They had already agreed that, after hearing from Doctor Gu that it was dangerous to have a child too young, they planned to have one around the age of twenty, mainly so that they could still enjoy a few more years of life together as a couple.

The girl didn't hear what her husband said next and fell asleep immediately.

I still remember when we were newlyweds, the young man pulled Doctor Gu aside and quietly asked...

"Dr. Gu, do you have any contraceptive pills for men?"

The old man was stunned. There was no contraception... but sterilization was available...

Who do you want to be childless?

If you want someone to be childless, just have someone from the Miao region poison them. Why bother with birth control pills?

"Oh, no, I'll use... I'll use."

Looking at the serious-looking young general, Gu Shilin also lowered his voice and asked a question.

Do your parents know about this?

"Huh? Why did you let Mom and Dad know about this?"

"Is it that you don't want to have children, or that your wife doesn't want to?" Dr. Gu then asked.

"We just don't want to have children in the next few years. Didn't you say that having children too early is bad for your health? But you know how it is to enjoy romantic moments together?"

The old man looked at him with disdain. Fine, he got it—it meant he wanted to do the work but didn't want the results. Women's birth control pills exist, but they're all harmful to the body. This kid's cunning, coming here to ask if there are any male birth control pills.

Dr. Gu said earnestly

"Women have smaller bodies, but men don't have birth control pills."

"Never mind then."

Without even thinking, Huo Xiaocheng said, "Never mind."

The old man nodded. "This child is really good. He knows how to cherish his wife. Only those who cherish their wives will rise to high positions."

General Huo was troubled by this matter for several days. Without the medicine, he couldn't be intimate with his wife until Miao Cuifang came to his rescue.

"I heard from Dr. Gu that you're looking for male birth control pills."

Gu Shilin often hangs out with Miao Cuifang. Miao Jiang not only has Gu poison, but also Gu medicine. The old lady has studied it all her life. Now that she has the opportunity to study it, how could she not study it thoroughly?

The Miao youths were initially reluctant, but the offer was so generous that the grandmother could buy all the land at the foot of the mountain, meaning that all the children in Miao would no longer need to buy food.

"Um……"

“I have it, but it’s not medicine, it’s poison.”

The Miao youth continued...

"Would you like to give it a try?"

Huo Xiaocheng found it a bit strange, but finally couldn't help asking that question.

"Why are you Miao people researching this stuff?"

The young man looked up at the sky, his single earring glittering slightly in the sunlight, and then he said...

“In our family, there are always a few young girls who take a fancy to men outside, but we don’t know if they are suitable. We always bring them back first. My mother-in-law is afraid that there will be trouble if they have children, so she gives them some drugs. If the man is not good, she will throw him out. If the man is good, it is not impossible for him to marry our girl. We will then take the antidote.”

"By the way, in our Miao region, men marry into the family, which is what you Central Plains people call a son-in-law who moves into the wife's home."

"The main problem is that you people from the Central Plains have too many opinions about sons-in-law who marry into the family; otherwise, most men would be able to stay."

Huo Xiaocheng clicked his tongue in amazement. It was really fortunate that Huo Xiaolong was there, and that his home was close to the brothel. Otherwise, he probably would have had to marry into the family to marry Chunying.

"Master Miao, could I have some?"

"One hundred taels."

"..."

"make a deal."

The wind outside made the children's faces turn red. The three of them ran into Mantuo's house in the heavy snow. After entering the room, they did not go directly to the young lady's side, but took off their coats in the outer room to warm their bodies before going in.

"Come in quickly, are you being too formal with your sister?"

When did this child stop jumping on everyone he sees? He's even being polite at his sister's house. The young lady was a little unhappy.

Huo Xiaolong said in a sweet voice.

"It's not that I'm being polite, it's just that Sister Mantuo just gave birth and can't be exposed to the wind. The three of us are too cold."

"You're so good at sweet-talking people."

The woman's voice was deep, with the ending notes occasionally rising in pitch. What's that word again? Yes, that's what innate allure is like.

"Sis, she's so well-behaved."

"Yes, Sister Mando, she's not moving at all, just sleeping quietly. Those kids from Uncle Scarface's family are always howling. We saw him after school today, he was all unkempt and looked really weak."

Mando smiled and said

“I’m not in charge of my own family, and the same goes for Scarface’s family. One child is enough to make you, Brother Wangji, dizzy every day, let alone his third one.”

"Besides, the older the child gets, the more mischievous he becomes. He's almost a year old now, and I reckon he'll be even more mischievous after the New Year."

—The door creaked open.

Madam Lu brought in the food.

"My son, eat your food."

"mother."

The Lu couple should stay at the brothel for a while, after all, they dote on their granddaughter.

The main reason was that the more she looked at the child, the more he resembled Huo Xiaolong. She wondered if he could inherit her cleverness. The woman had heard from her son that Manto had been looking at the little dumpling quite a bit lately.

"Our little girl should follow her older sister's example, understand?"

Heaven knows how much pride the Mohists felt at Manto's betrothal gifts. The leader of the Farmer's School refused to accept the money and insisted on having the blueprint drawn by Huo Xiaolong.

"These two things are naturally from our farm. I don't want the money, just give me these two pictures."

"Stop dreaming, okay? This is my son's betrothal gift."

Even Lu's father didn't respond to him. He didn't know where this shameless old man got such a big face.

"How about I add some more for you?"

"I'll double it!"

Father Lu shook his head and walked away.

The leader of the Farmer's School persisted with them all the way to the Mohist School, and only after meeting the leader of the Mohist School did the matter settle. In short, everything the Farmer's School did was for the benefit of the people.

It's fine to let them take a look; they were just a little stingy and gave me a bad attitude when they borrowed money before.

They've all been returned now.

"She definitely will! Even if she doesn't follow in my footsteps, I'll raise her! I'll make her call me Auntie!" Huo Xiaolong said, looking at the adorable sleeping baby.

I'm an elder now, Auntie, that's so nice.

"You want to be someone's elder at such a young age?" Mando pinched her cheek and said.

"Um!"

The more people there are at Fengyue Tower, the more Huo Xiaolong feels a sense of belonging to this place. The child belongs to her family. When the time comes, Auntie will take you to see the world and do things that even men can't do!
