"It's true that she caught a cold. The cold was the culprit that caused her mild uterine coldness. However, nine out of ten women suffer from cold uterus, and I haven't seen many of them have it affect their fertility." Tian Cai was not telling the truth on this point. Shi Fulan did have a cold uterus, but it was not just a cold uterus.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that women are yin, and their uterus is easily affected by cold, which leads to internal accumulation of yin and cold. Coupled with weak kidney qi and insufficient kidney essence, it will cause menstrual disorders and difficulty in getting pregnant. But please note that it means it is difficult to get pregnant, not that it is impossible to get pregnant.

Such symptoms can be treated with medicine for a period of time and people should try to avoid cold exposure. However, Shi Fulan has been living in the Wu family for many years and often has to wash the family's clothes with icy river water in the middle of winter. The frostbite on her hands heals and then recurs again. She also has to go out to collect firewood in the cold winter and has no time to rest.

Tian Cai took out a pen and paper from the cabinet, wrote down the prescription and diagnosis, and then asked, "Do you need a prescription?"

"Open it!" Shi Fulan said, touching her pocket, her expression becoming embarrassed. "I still don't want it."

Tian Cai still had something to understand. She felt that this girl was really pitiful. She had heard Tian's mother say before that it was difficult to be a daughter-in-law at this time. So Tian Cai said, "You can owe the money for the medicine first and remember to pay it back later."

Shi Fulan looked at Tian Cai, her eyes slowly turning red, and she nodded with a sob, "Thank you, Doctor Tian."

After Tian Cai finished examining Shi Fulan, he turned his gaze to Wu Fendui, who was looking around. Seeing that Wu Fendui was looking around but not at him, he looked down on him. He thought that there was nothing wrong with his wife and he was too timid to look at her. "Comrade Wu, it's your turn. Come and sit here!"

Wu Fendui took a step back, but was blocked by the door behind him. Seeing that several relatives' eyes were focused on him, he stammered, "Uh... I've checked on Lan Zi. She can give birth after taking some medicine and recuperating for a while. I don't need to check on her either."

The Wu family thought it made sense. Just as Old Lady Wu was about to agree, Shi Fulan's second aunt stepped forward and said, "No, we're here now. The doctor said our Lan Zi just has a cold uterus and there's no problem with having a baby. So maybe it's your fault. Don't try to put the blame on our Shi family. If you tell the village like this, it'll be hard for our daughters to get married!"

"Yes! You must look. You can't just look at Lan Zi, you have to look too. If you don't dare to look, it means you are guilty. If you are not sick, why would you feel guilty?" The speaker was Shi Fulan's aunt, who was called over by old lady Shi to support her. Ever since they knew that Lan Zi was fine, their aunts and uncles immediately straightened their backs.

Old Mrs. Wu has raised her son for so many years, doesn't she know what kind of personality Wu Fendui has? To put it bluntly, as soon as he sticks out his butt, Old Mrs. Wu knows what kind of shit he is going to do.

Seeing Wu Fendui's guilty look, he felt a little unsure, "Fendui, you?"

Beads of sweat had already seeped out of Wu Fendui's forehead. He looked up at the expressions of his uncles, aunts, and grandmothers, and thought, it's over. It seems that there is really something wrong with him. Wouldn't it be embarrassing if his whole family knew about it?

"Hurry up, you are a grown man, you can't be without a woman, right?" Seeing that his guilty conscience was almost written on his face, Tian Cai deliberately provoked him with words.

Wu Fendui had been fooled. Even if he had health problems, he was still a grown man. He rolled up his sleeves and sat in front of Tian Cai, angrily saying to Shi Fulan beside him, "Look, but I tell you, if I didn't have any illness, I would definitely divorce you, Shi Fulan! By then, you'll be a slut that no one wants, a slut!"

Tian Cai was in no mood to listen to his nonsense and said immediately, "Your mind is still living in the old society. What era is it now? You're still divorced. I can choke you. Shut up quickly and don't interfere with my pulse diagnosis."

Wu Fendui shut his mouth in dismay. He didn't dare to offend Tian Cai at this moment. If she went to the village and said that she couldn't have children because of a health problem, he would never be able to clear himself even if he jumped into the Yellow River.

After Tian Cai took the pulse, she had a preliminary inference in her mind. Chinese medicine emphasizes observation, auscultation, questioning and palpation. She also needs to make a judgment by examining the appearance, such as congenital hypoplasia, cryptorchidism and so on. However, this is really not suitable for her to do. If she asks Wu Fendui to take off his pants for examination, the whole team will be gossiping tomorrow. After all, Liu Guihua, the gossip queen of Beishan Team, has been here all the time.

Tian Cai was worrying about what to do when Qin Ling came in carrying a bamboo basket.

Her eyes lit up immediately, and she smiled broadly at Qin Ling, "Come on, come on, I need your help!"

Qin Ling was somehow dazzled by Tian Cai's smile. This was the first time she smiled so brightly at him. He felt his whole body stiff, his heart was pounding, and the tips of his ears turned red uncontrollably.

Seeing that Qin Ling didn't move, Tian Cai called out again, "Come here!"

Qin Ling then walked up to her with his hands and feet together.

Tian Cai stood up, leaned over and whispered in his ear, "Take him inside later and take a look. Mainly, check how his penis is growing. Is it particularly small or hasn't grown much like a child's? Also, pinch his scrotum to see if there is any on both sides, and if there is anything hidden that can't be touched."

When Tian Cai leaned over to talk to Qin Ling, her breath made his whole face burn. When he understood what she said, the color on his face became even richer.

Tian Cai was afraid that the acquaintance he had finally come to visit wouldn't help, so he quickly smiled ingratiatingly, "I know you don't want to touch that either. Don't worry, I'll disinfect it with alcohol for you later!"

Qin Ling called Wu Fendui aside with a strange look on his face and threw him a broken wooden basin that he usually used to water the vegetable garden. "Get some water yourself and wash that thing, then come with me into the house to check it out."

"Just focus on childbirth, why do you need to check that?" Wu Fendui's complaints gradually faded under Qin Ling's gaze, "Just wash it!"

Tian Cai and several female elders from both families were waiting outside. The two families split into two groups and discussed the situation of the couple. What several people thought were whispers were actually heard clearly by Tian Cai.

At the Wu family's side, several elderly female elders surrounded Old Mrs. Wu.

"Sister, is there anything wrong with the dung pile? Why do I feel so uneasy?" Mrs. Wu's third sister said anxiously. When she thought of her nephew's behavior just now, her heart was pounding.

"Yes, sister, the dung pile didn't look okay just now! We all sacrificed our dignity to follow you here. If it's really about the dung pile, Mrs. Shi will definitely embarrass us!" Mrs. Wu's sister-in-law also said.
