While they were arguing downstairs, Liu Yumin was also discussing with Zhu Jiabao that since they were the ones who wanted to adopt the child, they couldn't let the Fu family be the only ones making the sacrifices. So they decided to go downstairs to discuss the adoption.

Zhu Jiabao naturally agreed: "If he is adopted into our family in the future, he will be a child of the Zhu family, and we will naturally take charge."

Liu Yumin explained, "I'll handle it. You don't need to. You have too much of a military aura about you, which could easily cause trouble. It's most suitable for me to go."

Old Zhu had been on the battlefield and killed countless Japanese soldiers. He had an undeniable aura of menace and possessed the presence of a superior. If what Brother Fu said was true, this matter was likely to be a long and complicated one.

Zhu Jiabao was unconvinced, and he could also put on a show of force to prevent Xue Fu from making unreasonable demands. After all, the child was still their own flesh and blood, and they would still have more contact with him in the future. How old were they? How many years did they have left to live? After they passed away, their own flesh and blood would naturally be able to take care of them. After all, blood is thicker than water.

Liu Yumin disagreed, glaring at her with her beautiful eyes: "Who makes the decisions in our family?"

Zhu Jiabao immediately replied, "My wife's word is law. I'm waiting for your good news."

In order to intimidate Xue Fu's family, Liu Yumin went downstairs with an overbearing manner and saw that Xue Fu's family was sitting obediently in a row like primary school students.

Fu Minghao asked nervously, "Sister-in-law, why did you come downstairs? I still have some things to do here. Why don't you go back to your room first?"

Seeing his father-in-law's expression, Xue Fu had a feeling something was wrong, and his mind raced.

Liu Yumin said in an unquestionable tone, "It is I who like this child and want to adopt him, so naturally it is my turn to come and discuss it."

Xue Fu asked in confusion, "I wonder who this comrade is..."

He secretly observed her. His mother-in-law showed no hostility towards her, and his father-in-law even had a respectful demeanor. The woman in front of him was dressed conservatively, her Lenin suit fit her well, and she had a somewhat carefree manner, indicating that she was a wealthy person. Upon hearing that the woman wanted to adopt a child, his mind began to stir.

Liu Yumin raised her head proudly, but her eyes softened as she held Mo Wenqi in her arms. She said, "I heard you want a son. Unfortunately, I am a descendant of imperial physicians. My family has served the emperor in the palace for generations. I have a secret formula for women to conceive boys. I can help you get pregnant with a boy, and then you can adopt the child. How about that?"

Xue Fu didn't think much of it. As long as he worked hard, Fu Jing would give birth to a boy sooner or later. Even if she couldn't have a child herself, he could use a surrogate. Fu Jing wouldn't dare to object and would treat the child as her own. He wasn't interested in this condition. With his father-in-law around, he wanted to add more to the conditions his father-in-law had proposed.

Fu Jing was intrigued, but asked uncertainly, "Are you telling the truth?"

Liu Yumin proudly said, "Of course, whether a child is a boy or a girl depends on the man. You reap what you sow. You can't expect to get corn by planting potatoes. Naturally, the man will reap what he sows."

Mother Xue immediately became unhappy: "Whether a child is a boy or a girl depends on how well the woman's womb works, what does it have to do with my son?"

Liu Yumin immediately straightened her face: "Are you the doctor or am I? Before pregnancy, both husband and wife's bodies are in a certain state. If their energy fields are not in harmony, only girls can survive. If their energy fields are in harmony, they will conceive a boy. It mainly depends on what kind of energy field the man emits. If you don't believe me, then keep trying to conceive. If it's not a girl, I will stop practicing medicine. You can try it."

Anyway, they wouldn't understand anything too profound, so I'll just use simple analogies. There are bound to be some discrepancies, and medical terms can't be explained clearly.

Mrs. Xue was immediately at a loss. The doctor's expression made it impossible for her to doubt him. After all, she knew how hard it was to find a job these days. Even the most arduous and tiring cleaning jobs were highly sought after. No one would joke about such a prestigious profession as a doctor.

Fu Jing's eyes lit up. She knew that having a girl wasn't just her problem. There must have been times when her aura was off, especially since her mother-in-law kept loitering outside their room at night. It must have been her mother-in-law who disrupted the aura, making her suffer the blame for nothing.

Xue Fu disagreed, finding it utterly absurd. Fu Jing was completely devoted to him and trusted him implicitly; how could they possibly have a clash of personalities? This nonsense must be an attempt to take his daughter away for nothing.

Seeing that his birth mother and wife had been misled, Xue Fu said, "The child is our Xue family's precious treasure. Xiao Jing's body was injured during childbirth. If the child is given away, Xiao Jing will definitely be sad and it will harm her body even more. We are also reluctant to hand the child over to others."

Liu Yumin knew that this person wanted something in return: "Do you know how badly your wife's body is injured? If she doesn't take good care of herself, she won't live past thirty. Do the math yourself and see how many years she has left to live? Taking care of her body requires a lot of precious medicinal herbs, which are all from my own private collection. I charge at least ten yuan for each transaction, not including the herbs."

Your wife has just given birth and needs at least six months to recover. I'll shorten that time to one month so she can be in top condition and I guarantee she'll give birth to a boy. If you're worried about the child and don't want to adopt him, I'll treat you according to the normal procedure for Brother Fu's sake.

I'll prescribe the medicine for free; you can pick it up yourself. However, some medicines are uncommon and it takes a long time to obtain them. As for acupuncture, you'll need to go to the hospital to see a doctor. My family's acupuncture technique is too energy-consuming, and our relationship isn't close enough for me to offer my services.

Xue Fu wanted to argue that there was more than one good doctor, but his mother and Fu Jing intercepted their request and he readily agreed.

Fu Jing said directly, "I agree to have the child adopted. Doctor, am I really not going to live past thirty?"

Liu Yumin said helplessly, "You can go to the hospital for a check-up. Your body is very weak. If you don't take good care of yourself, you will die young. I can help you get better. After you give birth, you must do as I say. You must take good care of yourself during your postpartum period. If you pay attention to these things, you can live to be seventy or eighty years old."

These words struck a chord with Fu Jing. Before she got married, she never lifted a finger, but since then she has done all sorts of chores, working herself to exhaustion every day. She felt completely drained and was constantly being scolded by her mother-in-law. Even the doctor could see how weak she was. Finally, someone understood the grievances she had suffered. This doctor was truly a miracle worker.

Mother Xue was more than willing to exchange a useless girl for a son. With an heir, the Xue family would have a descendant, and she wouldn't feel inferior. Heaven knows what the old women outside said about her son being a freeloader and her daughter-in-law not daring to say a word because she couldn't have children. She was a disgrace to her mother-in-law. Back then, she was so ashamed that she felt embarrassed whenever she went out.

Xue Fu naturally disagreed: "Mother, this child is a member of our Xue family."

The father-in-law valued this woman because she was of unusual status and wanted to adopt a child. Naturally, he wanted to take the opportunity to exchange benefits, so he couldn't agree easily. He wanted to improve his health to have a boy. Shanghai is so big, there must be someone who can help. He said he could have a boy later. He anxiously signaled to his mother with his eyes.

To everyone's surprise, Xue's mother completely failed to understand her son's intentions. She got angry and insisted that she had to have a grandson, and even her own son could not stop her.
