She began to have some doubts about Liu the fortune teller at the time, since Liu the fortune teller wasn't actually very effective.
Now, after hearing Lin Qingyan's words, she was even more convinced that Liu the fortune teller was just a swindler.
No, it's far more than just swindling and deception. He suffered a miscarriage because of Liu the fortune teller's medicine, and it was Liu the fortune teller who killed his two children.
She was supposed to have a son, but she ruined it.
She cried again as she thought about it.
"Waaaaah, my child, my child, I'm so sorry, it's all my fault."
Lin Qingyan instructed Jiang Tiezhu, "Go outside and find some motherwort to make soup for her to drink, to help her expel the remaining lochia from her body. Miscarriage is very harmful to the body, so give her more nutrition and let her rest for a while. Don't be discouraged. Since she was able to conceive a son this time, she can conceive again in the future."
After giving her instructions and collecting the material fee, she left with Grandma Lin.
Inside the room, Jiang Tiezhu and Wu Cuiying both had somber faces, their grief no less than that of parents who had died. After much painful reflection, they realized that they had killed their own son with their own hands.
“Cuiying, we were wrong all along. If we had listened to Dr. Lin’s advice and persevered until the baby was born, and hadn’t gone to see Liu the sorceress, our child wouldn’t have had this accident.”
Wu Cuiying let out a painful wail.
"Unfortunately, there's no medicine for regret in this world. If I had known it would turn out like this, I would never have taken the medicine given by Granny Liu, even if you killed me."
"It's too late to say anything now."
After sighing deeply, the two seemed to see hope again amidst their extreme regret and despair.
"Cuiying, Dr. Lin is right. You are not incapable of having a son. If you take good care of your health, you may be able to conceive a son again after a while."
This incident must have been too much of a blow to Wu Cuiying, because she wiped away her tears and shook her head.
"Tiezhu, I've thought it through. We've gone through so much trouble and suffering to have a son. I almost went to the gates of hell. Can't we live without a son? I don't want a son anymore. We were determined to have one before, but if I get pregnant with another girl next time, I'll keep trying for a son. I don't know when I'll be able to have a son and finally get through this. If you want a son, go ahead and have one yourself. I'm not having any more."
Jiang Tiezhu was shocked by his wife's words. His wife didn't want a son anymore. What family wouldn't desperately want a son if they didn't have one?
He shook his head without saying anything, it was unclear whether he had truly given up on the idea of having a son.

Lu Zhengting calculated that it had been five days since he submitted his marriage application, and it should be approved soon.
After getting off work, she couldn't wait to go find Battalion Commander Zhang.
"Battalion Commander, I submitted my marriage application five days ago. It should be approved by now."
Battalion Commander Zhang scratched his head in frustration, revealing his helplessness about the matter.
"Zhengting, I just asked the regimental commander, and he said that the division commander hasn't approved it yet. You should wait a little longer."
"Why hasn't it been approved yet? Cadres of the same rank as me get their marriage applications approved in five days at most, some even in three or four days. Why am I still waiting?"
He couldn't wait any longer. "Isn't he with the division commander? I'll go ask him directly."
"Zhengting, don't be impulsive." Battalion Commander Zhang stopped him. "The division commander is probably busy and has delayed things. Let's wait a little longer and try not to bother the division commander. Maybe he can approve it for you tomorrow."
"No, I can't wait, not even for a moment. It's the division commander's business if he's busy, but he has to do what he's supposed to do."
He turned and prepared to leave, intending to go directly to his division commander.
Battalion Commander Zhang rubbed his temples in exasperation.
Others might listen to him, but Lu Zhengting is a tough guy. He's fearless and will definitely go if he says he'll go find the division commander.
He quickly caught up with Lu Zhengting: "I'll go with you."
They went together to the division commander's office, but the division commander had not yet left work.
Lu Zhengting was a notorious troublemaker in the army, a tough guy, but also one of the most outstanding officers among the younger generation, having made countless military achievements that made even his division commander feel proud.
When he saw Lu Zhengting arrive, he smiled and asked, "What wind blew today that brought Zhengting here to me?"
Lu Zhengting got straight to the point, "Commander, I've come to ask you to approve my marriage application."
"Marriage application?" The division commander asked, a mixture of doubt and delight. "Zhengting, you're getting married! This is a joyous occasion, and I'm very happy for you. But you haven't submitted your marriage application yet. How can I approve it?"
"Didn't you hand it in?"
Lu Zhengting immediately looked at Battalion Commander Zhang with a mixture of doubt and reproach.
"Battalion Commander, didn't you say that my marriage application had been submitted to the division commander by the regimental commander? Why does the division commander say he doesn't know?"
"When I asked the regimental commander, he did say that it had been handed over to the division commander."
After he finished speaking, all three of them understood and their expressions darkened.
Lu Zhengting said, "Commander, it seems my report is still with the regimental commander. I don't know why he's withholding it and deceiving the battalion commander and me. I'll go get it back now and give it to you directly. Commander, please wait for me. If you don't, I'll come to your house to find you."
The division commander laughed and nodded, "Alright, go ahead, I'll wait for you here."
No sooner had Lu Zhengting left than Battalion Commander Zhang followed him.
“I’ll go with you.”
He doesn't mind being a tagalong at all.
