Chapter 397 Don’t Want Children

Doctor Zhou looked at Aunt Jiang's hand with a bad look, and squeezed out a few words from between his teeth: "Xiao Wu, who is he?"

"Xiao Wu?" Uncle Yan's expression was also not good. "Who is he?"

The two men looked at Aunt Jiang at the same time.

Aunt Jiang stared at the two men and began to introduce them: "This is my fifteenth uncle."

"This is Yan Hao."

"Uncle Fifteen?"

"Yan Hao?"

Doctor Zhou watched the interaction between the two and guessed that Aunt Jiang was going to take another step forward, but Yan Hao's demeanor did not look like that of a local. He squinted his eyes and looked at Yan Hao carefully.

Yan Hao was a little flustered, and all the rage he had just felt turned into anxiety.

His and Aunt Jiang's wedding date was approaching soon. At this time, Aunt Jiang's family came, and he was really afraid that they would have objections.

"Uncle Fifteen, when did you come?" Uncle Yan's expression changed several times and finally turned into a smiling face.

"No, you look older than me. Don't call me uncle, I can't bear it." Doctor Zhou didn't give Uncle Yan any face at all.

Aunt Jiang wanted to cover her face. Uncle Fifteen's personality was the same as before. He would not give face to anyone unless he was willing.

But there is something wrong with what he said. Uncle Yan is indeed older than Uncle Fifteen.

"Uncle Fifteen, Xiaowu and I are getting married. If she says he is Uncle Fifteen, then he is Uncle Fifteen." Uncle Yan was not afraid at all and looked at Aunt Jiang with affection.

This is simply dancing on fire: seeking death.

Doctor Zhou jumped up from his chair and said angrily, "Xiao Wu, what he said is true."

Uncle Yan immediately stood in front of Aunt Jiang: "Uncle Fifteen, if you have something to say, don't be so loud."

Doctor Zhou looked at Uncle Yan unkindly: "Xiao Wu hasn't married you yet, it's not your turn to talk about this."

Uncle Yan straightened his chest and said, "As the old saying goes, when you first marry, you obey your husband; when you remarry, you do it yourself. In this matter, no one else's opinion counts. Only Xiaowu has the final say."

Doctor Zhou certainly knew this, and he didn't want to stop Aunt Jiang from getting married, but Aunt Jiang had lived in such a small place for several years. How could he bear it when he knew that Aunt Jiang was going to get married the first time he saw her?

"Xiaowu, tell me, what's going on?" He ignored Uncle Yan and looked directly at Aunt Jiang.

Aunt Jiang flinched when he stared at her. "Uncle Fifteen just said he wanted to see his nephew and granddaughter-in-law. I'll go get her now."

After she finished speaking, she turned around and left, not giving Doctor Zhou and Uncle Yan any chance to call her. Of course, neither of them called her.

Doctor Zhou suppressed the anger on his face and slowly sat back in his chair.

"You, aren't a local? Are you from the capital?"

Yan Hao's aura is really too strong. He doesn't look like someone who was raised in a small place. Instead, he looks like someone who once held a high position.

"Yes, Xiaowu and I have known each other for a long time. I have been here all these years and am Hongyu's martial arts master. I sincerely want to marry Xiaowu and hope Uncle Fifteen will agree to it." Uncle Yan's attitude was very respectful.

"Didn't you just say that Xiaowu can make the decision on this matter? Then why are you asking me?" Doctor Zhou was very dissatisfied with his attitude just now.

Uncle Yan glanced outside the door and gave a wry smile: "If Uncle Fifteen doesn't agree, I'm afraid Xiaowu won't be happy even if she marries me."

Doctor Zhou was silent. He thought Xiaowu had changed over the years, but he didn't expect that Xiaowu still had the same personality.

"Xiaowu's son is called Jiang Hongyu, right? Does he agree to your marriage?" Doctor Zhou asked after a moment of silence.

"Hongyu said that Xiaowu should make the decision on this matter." Uncle Yan's meaning was very clear. Even Aunt Jiang's own son said that she could make the decision on her own. Uncle Fifteen, who was from the same clan as Doctor Zhou, should not make the decision.

"When have you decided to get married?" Doctor Zhou asked again.

Uncle Yan was stunned at first, then delighted: "Uncle Fifteen is going to attend our wedding?"

Doctor Zhou was a little amused: "If I said no, would you still marry Xiaowu?"

"Yes." Uncle Yan said confidently, "I've waited so long, I must marry Xiaowu."

He was talking about the period from his youth to the present, but Doctor Zhou thought that he had spent a lot of time seeking Aunt Jiang's consent.

"Don't call her Xiaowu anymore. Xiaowu is the ranking in the clan, and only we still call her that. The others have long forgotten it. From now on, just call her Qingdai."

"Qingdai?" Uncle Yan was stunned for a moment, "What's that name?"

"You'll find out when you ask Xiaowu later." Doctor Zhou stood up. "I've been here long enough. I'm leaving now. If you need anything, come to me. I'm going to deliver a letter next door."

Aunt Jiang, who had been waiting outside, finally came forward with Ye Mingzhu: "Uncle Fifteen, are you leaving? This is Mingzhu, Hongyu's wife. Mingzhu, come and meet Uncle Fifteen."

Ye Mingzhu listened outside for a while and understood that this uncle from the Zhou family should have a very good relationship with Aunt Jiang, otherwise he would not have scolded Uncle Yan like that just now. She saluted Doctor Zhou with the best etiquette.

Doctor Zhou asked Ye Mingzhu a few questions, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

Ye Mingzhu's conversation was well-mannered and her manners were graceful and elegant. She really didn't look like someone from this small place.

"Where are you from?" Doctor Zhou guessed that Ye Mingzhu's family used to be an official family?

"My family has lived in Yuanshan Village for generations, and my ancestors made a living by pearl diving." Ye Mingzhu had no intention of concealing her background.

This courage alone made Doctor Zhou look at her with admiration. He often visited officials and wealthy businessmen, and had an aura that ordinary doctors did not have.

But Ye Mingzhu was not afraid in front of him at all, and even dared to tell the fact that she was a fisherman's daughter. She hoped that one day when Jiang Hongyu stood in a high position, she would also have the momentum she has today.

Doctor Zhou did not make things difficult for Ye Mingzhu, but he didn't have anything on him. He thought for a moment and took out a porcelain bottle from his purse and handed it to Ye Mingzhu.

"This is my gift to you."

Ye Mingzhu was stunned for a moment. She went to see Aunt Jiang and she gave her a bottle of medicine on their first meeting. Is this the doctor's habit?

"Take it. Your fifteenth uncle is a very good doctor, and the gift he gives must be good." Aunt Jiang remembered that Doctor Zhou started working in her own clinic as soon as he came of age. Although she hadn't heard of him in all these years, he must have good medical skills since he was invited to treat Mr. Lin's family.

Ye Mingzhu then took the porcelain bottle and said, "Thank you, Uncle Fifteen."

"This contains a medicine to preserve pregnancy. If you're pregnant, just take one pill and any serious condition can be delayed for an hour." Doctor Zhou said calmly, "There are three pills in here. I'll stay here for a few days and make some more. I'll have Xiaowu bring them to you when the time comes."

Ye Mingzhu suddenly felt that the porcelain bottle in her hand was a little heavy.

Aunt Jiang hurriedly explained: "Uncle Fifteen, Mingzhu is not pregnant."

Doctor Zhou glared at her and said, "Even if there is none now, there will be none in the future. Even if it's you, I will make some for you."

Aunt Jiang's face turned pale instantly, and she looked at Uncle Yan first.

Uncle Yan immediately shook his head: "Uncle Fifteen, I don't want children."
