Chapter 445 Extra 003: Medical Consultation
Old Mrs. Ye dragged her heavy feet back to Ye Er's family.
Ye Erquan hugged Ye Yaozu: "Grandfather? Grandfather?"
But Ye Yaozu was just busy playing with the toys in his hands and ignored everyone.
Ye Erquan's brows were furrowed with worry.
Old Lady Ye said, "Erquan, go to the city tomorrow and see a doctor there."
Ye Erquan nodded: "Okay, I'll go there early tomorrow morning."
Wei was a little angry. Before she could say anything, Ye Erquan glared at her and said, "Don't worry about our grandfather's affairs in the future."
Wei remained silent with a sullen face.
She doesn't believe there is anything wrong with her grandson.
The fortune teller was very accurate. If he said Xiuxiu would give birth to a money-losing girl, then she would be a money-losing girl. If he said she would give birth to a grandson, then she would be a grandson.
The next morning, Ye Erquan drove a carriage and went to the provincial capital with Old Lady Ye.
When we arrived at the provincial capital, we found the most famous doctor there who treated children.
After examining the child, the doctor said with embarrassment: "You should be mentally prepared. This child may not be very smart."
Ye Er's face turned pale, and he felt as if the sky had fallen again.
But no grandfather would abandon his grandson.
After that, Ye Erquan kept seeking medical treatment everywhere.
Some people say that the child is not very smart, but others say: "Nothing is absolute. You are too impatient. Some children will speak later, but after the age of two or three, they suddenly become smart."
An acquaintance said: "My second aunt's little nephew is the same. Everyone said he was a fool, but when he turned three, he could speak fluently and run as soon as he got up. Now he is studying in school."
Whenever he heard this, Ye Erquan felt a little comforted.
Maybe, Zuzu really just woke up late.
In addition, he also took his children to various Taoist temples and Buddhist temples to pray or tell fortunes.
The abbot of the nearby Qingshan Temple said, "This child's name is too big, it can't be suppressed. Let's change his name!"
Ye Erquan asked the abbot to give Ye Yaozu a new name, Ye Kanglai.
When they got home, Wei saw Ye Erquan carrying the baby in his arms and hurried over to greet him: "It's so cold, why are you carrying the baby around? What if he gets frozen? Grandma, come here."
Ye Erquan slapped her hand away: "Don't call me Zuzu anymore, from now on he should call me Ye Kanglai! Call me Kang Kang!"
Wei was startled: "What Kang Kang?"
"He changed his name. He is no longer allowed to be called Yaozu. He is called Kanglai. The healthy Kang, the Lai who comes over."
Wei was very dissatisfied: "My family's Yaozu will bring honor to the family in the future. Our Ye family is counting on him for this generation."
"He can't even speak, what a shameless ancestor!" Ye Erquan roared, "Now I just want him to be healthy and a normal child."
After yelling, his eyes turned red, as if he would cry in the next second.
Mrs. Wei was furious: "He's fine! It's just that some black-hearted people are jealous of my family giving birth to a grandson, so they are talking nonsense. Some children are just late in talking and walking! You are the only one making a fuss!"
"Why do you care if I'm making a fuss or not? Anyway, his name has been decided. From now on, he'll be called Kang Kang! If you call him the wrong name, get out of the house! And you two, remember this!"
As he said this, he glanced at Ye Peng and his wife who had just come out of the house.
Ye Peng nodded woodenly: "Okay, it's just a name change."
Wei Xiaojuan had no objection: "Then from now on just call me... Kang Kang."
Wei Xiaojuan had a bad feeling in her heart a long time ago. She was also worried about her child and wanted her child to be safe and healthy.
No, she had to have another one as soon as possible.
Thinking of this, she looked at Ye Peng.
She had long wanted to have another child, but no matter how hard she tried in the past year, she hadn't been able to get pregnant.
Didn't she take good care of her body after giving birth?
She needs to see a doctor to see how to recover.
Wei was reluctant to change her grandson's name, but there was nothing she could do because Ye Erquan held all the money in the family and he had the final say.
Wait until her ancestors become wise and then change it back!
Ye Erquan went to find Old Lady Ye with the child in his arms.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw Old Mrs. Ye chatting with Xiuxiu.
Xiuxiu was five months pregnant and she was pregnant again.
Because of this incident, Xiuxiuniang was able to get up again recently.
Tell everyone that Xiuxiu looks like her, and this baby is guaranteed to be a boy.
Old Lady Ye said, "Erquan is here."
Ye Erquan smiled and said, "Mom, I changed the baby's name today. From now on, he will be called Kanglai, Ye Kanglai."
Old Mrs. Ye was startled for a moment, then nodded and smiled, "This name is better than the previous one. Isn't it, Xiao Kang Kang?"
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand toward the child.
Xiao Kangkang immediately smiled and threw himself into her arms.
Old Mrs. Ye was pleasantly surprised: "It does seem to be a little smarter."
Ye Erquan finally felt relieved after hearing this, and nodded with a simple smile: "Yes, I also think the name change is a good idea. I was held up by the name before. I thought about it, maybe Kang Kang is just a little slow, let's wait a little longer."
Old Lady Ye said, "That's right. We are too impatient. One year later, if... we can go to the capital to have a look."
"OK."
After playing with the baby for a while, Ye Erquan took the child away.
Hu Xiuxiu also stood up, holding her belly: "Grandma, I'm going back too."
"Be careful, let Xiaoyu support you when you walk."
Hu Xiuxiu nodded, hesitated for a moment, and then smiled: "This child was just like Zhuzhu when I was pregnant. He always liked spicy food, but he didn't make trouble."
Old Lady Ye sighed, "It doesn't matter whether it's a boy or a girl, as long as they are healthy."
It was not until Ye Kanglai was born that Old Mrs. Ye realized how precious a healthy child was.
Hu Xiuxiu breathed a sigh of relief: "Then I'll go back."
Having said that, he took the maid's hand and left.
......
That morning, Wei Xiaojuan took a ox cart to the town.
Ye Bajin was driving the car. Since Wei Xiaojuan was the only one there, he said, "Going to the town? It's so close, we can walk there, haha!"
Wei Xiaojuan rolled her eyes at him: "It's not like I won't give you money."
Ye Bajin was choked. He used to think Ye Erquan was a good person, so why were all the people in his family so annoying?
They soon arrived at the town. Wei Xiaojuan got off the car and walked on the street for a while until Ye Bajin could no longer be seen. Then she walked to a clinic.
When Wei Xiaojuan saw the doctor and sat down, she whispered, "My baby is already one and a half years old. I want to take care of another one, but for some reason, I can't."
The doctor at the clinic nodded, took her pulse, and raised an eyebrow: "You were seriously exhausted during childbirth."
Wei Xiaojuan frowned, "Impossible! My birth went smoothly! The midwife who delivered me was from Beijing."
The doctor shook his head: "A smooth birth doesn't mean your body is healthy. Alas, you didn't take good care of yourself after giving birth."
"Why don't you take care of yourself? Humph, do you think I'm that poor bastard? My family has plenty of money. When I was in confinement, I ate so much brown sugar and eggs that I felt like vomiting. And I also had two bowls of soup every day!"
The doctor frowned and said, "You are just blindly supplementing. If you don't have money, forget it. Since your family has money, why don't you find a doctor after giving birth?"
"Yes! A doctor felt my pulse before and after I gave birth. He was a doctor from the capital, very good." She said with a little pride on her face, "The doctor also prescribed medicine for me, which I took for half a month."
The doctor raised an eyebrow: "But your body... is still quite disadvantageous."
Wei Xiaojuan looked unhappy: "Are you saying that the doctor who prescribed the medicine for me is not good? Forget it, I just want to ask you now, how can I get pregnant again now."
The doctor shook his head: "It's difficult."
"It's not difficult. What do I want to see you for?"
The doctor nodded: "Then I will prescribe medicine for you. Take it for a month. One dose a day, two hundred coins per dose."
"Why is it so expensive?"
"What else? Do you think it's too expensive to regulate your body? Of course, there are cheaper ones, but you are not without money. Your body is your own. You decide what level of drink you want to drink."
Wei Xiaojuan gritted her teeth and thought, indeed, she could not let herself suffer any loss, so she had to give six taels of silver and left with the medicine.
Since she gave birth to the baby, Ye Erquan gave Wei Xiaojuan five taels of silver every month for the baby's sake. He would also take the baby to the street and buy snacks or clothes for the child.
When she got home, Wei saw her carrying the medicine bag and glared at her: "Why did you buy medicine when you were fine?"
Wei Xiaojuan said, "I fell when I was a kid, and my legs hurt from time to time. Can't I take some medicine?"
She couldn't let her husband's family know that she was having trouble conceiving.
Wei just thought that Wei Xiaojuan was a spendthrift. It was just a little foot pain, but she bought so many medicines.
The hateful thing is that she couldn’t get any money from Wei Xiaojuan.
Wei Xiaojuan started decocting the medicine tonight.
But after taking it for a full half month, when I went back for a follow-up checkup, there was still no effect.
Wei Xiaojuan was very angry and had to change to another hospital and continue taking the medicine.
Time flies, and another half a year has passed quickly.
On April 19, Hu Xiuxiu gave birth again.
As soon as Xiuxiuniang heard the news, she immediately rolled out of her chair and hurried out.
A passing villager asked, "Where is Xiu Xiu's mother?"
Xiuxiu's mother said proudly: "My eldest grandson will be born soon."
The villagers laughed and said, "Maybe it's a girl."
Xiuxiu's mother was furious: "Get lost, you are talking nonsense. Xiuxiu looks like me, this time it must be a big fat boy."
Soon, Xiuxiu's mother rushed to Ye Daquan's house.
Everyone in the Ye family gathered in the yard, and Hu Xiuxiu's screams of pain were heard from the room.
Mrs. Du sat nervously on the chair. Xiuxiu's mother stepped forward and said, "Don't worry, my dear. The second baby will come much sooner than the first. This time it will definitely be a big grandson."
Mrs. Du smiled and said, "Both boys and girls are fine."
Xiuxiu's mother: "How can that be possible? It must be a boy!"
Wei hugged Xiao Kangkang and sneered, "Just pretend!" The first girl has already brought shame upon you, and you still want a second one?
Not everyone is as lucky as her, to have a grandson right away!
She consulted a fortune teller again, who said that Xiuxiu would also be a girl this time.
Wow, what a bunch of girls!
Not long after, the sound of a baby crying was suddenly heard from inside.
Ye Yong exclaimed in surprise: "It's born! Xiuxiu! Xiuxiu!"
After a while, Wang Wenpo opened the door and came out holding a small quilt.
Ye Yong rushed in at once.
Grandma Wang smiled and said, "Congratulations, it's a daughter."
"What did you say? How is it possible!" Xiuxiu's mother screamed, "The first one is already a girl, how can the second one still be one? There must be a mistake!"
Mr. and Mrs. Wei and Ye Peng were secretly delighted.
Wang Wenpo rolled her eyes at her and handed the baby to Mrs. Du: "Look at the child."
Mrs. Du took the newborn granddaughter and smiled: "She is plump and even bigger than Zhuzhu when she was just born."
"Grandma, Zhuzhu wants to see it too." The three-year-old Mingzhu jumped and danced anxiously at her feet.
"Come, come, let me show you."
Mrs. Du sat down quickly, and little Mingzhu climbed onto the chair: "Wow~~ It's so small~~ Grandma said it was bigger than Zhuzhu."
When these words were spoken, Ye Daquan, Jinhua and others all laughed.
Ye Erquan looked at the clever and lovely little Mingzhu and couldn't help but look forward to seeing Xiao Kangkang.
Xiao Kangkang was held in Wei's arms like a baby. He was staring blankly at the sky, not knowing what he was thinking.
Ye Erquan felt uncomfortable and sighed softly.
Two and a half years old already.
Kang Kang has made some progress over the past year. He could already stagger along, and utter a word or two occasionally. But he was still too stupid, as if he couldn't understand what people were saying.
Thinking of this, he took a deep breath. This is making progress, isn't it? Just a little slow! Wait till he's three! The fortune teller said that he became intelligent at the age of three.
At this time, Old Lady Ye came out of the room and looked at her granddaughter with a smile: "What name did you give this fat girl this time?"
Mrs. Du said, "I've already thought of a name for her. Let's call her Mingyue."
"Not bad, not bad, Mingzhu Mingyue."
Wei snorted. In the past two years, she had been criticized because her grandson was slow to speak. She didn't know that her eldest sister-in-law must be jealous of her and was slandering and defaming her grandson everywhere in the village!
Now seeing that the eldest wife had given birth to another money-losing child, Wei was in a good mood and couldn't help laughing out loud:
"Oh, sister-in-law, this name is not good. If you ask me, the name Zhuzhu was given incorrectly. It would be better to listen to Xiuxiu's mother and call her Daidi or Yindi. This second one... can't be wrong again."
Xiuxiu's mother's face turned pale: "Yes, yes, you can't call her Mingyue!"
Mrs. Du, Old Lady Ye and others all looked disheartened.
Mrs. Du was displeased: "What does it have to do with you? Just call Mingyue!"
Wei frowned: "I also hope that my eldest sister-in-law will be well and have a grandson as soon as possible. If there is another girl next time... wouldn't that be a bunch of money-losing stuff?"
"Who are you calling a money-loser?" Mrs. Du sneered, extremely angry. "A girl is fine, as long as she is intact and healthy. It's better than giving birth to a fool!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the whole yard fell silent, and everyone couldn't help but look at Xiao Kangkang in Wei's arms.
Xiao Kangkang just gave a silly giggle and stared at the treetops drooling. He looked so stupid.
Wei was furious, and Ye Peng and Wei Xiaojuan also looked sullen.
Ye Erquan was stunned and felt uncomfortable.
Wei roared, "Who are you calling a fool? Who is a fool, huh? How can you talk like that? My Kang Kang is a noble man who speaks slowly! He only developed wisdom at the age of three! He will have a great future!"
Mrs. Du was also very angry. She pushed Xiao Mingyue into Ye Daquan's arms and said, "Who would want to say something bad about your grandson if you don't spew shit with your cheap mouth?"
"Ha, I... I'm just doing this for your own good, giving you some good advice."
"You mean something derogatory in your words, as if no one can hear it! And I didn't say Kang Kang is a fool, I just said it's better than giving birth to a fool. Since your family isn't one, why are you rushing to recognize one?"
"you--"
"Shut up! Stop arguing!" Old Man Ye shouted coldly, and said with a sullen face: "It's a good day, what's the point of arguing."
Both Mrs. Du and Mrs. Wei kept silent, but their chests were heaving, and they were obviously very angry.
This was the first time in twenty years of being sisters-in-law that they had such a fierce quarrel.
