Chapter 63 Pregnancy-maintaining medication
Li Xiaoxia whispered in Zhou Xiaohong's ear that Ye Wangshu could make Mrs. Zhang pregnant, but she couldn't; on the other hand, she felt from the bottom of her heart that Ye Wangshu could not make Mrs. Zhang pregnant at all.
Li Xiaoxia didn't believe it and couldn't help wanting to dance in front of Mrs. Zhang.
Because of the severe pregnancy reaction, Mrs. Zhang quit her job and the burden of the family fell on her husband.
Whenever Mrs. Zhang thought about her family's livelihood, she would frown and never smile.
And every time at this time, Li Xiaoxia would come close to Mrs. Zhang and hang around.
"Mrs. Zhang! I think your reaction is quite similar to what you're experiencing. I hope you won't be able to have a baby when the time comes!"
"Your body looks infertile, but you can actually give birth!"
“…”
Since she didn't see Mrs. Zhang, Li Xiaoxia only said these few words.
At first, Mrs. Zhang was angry about this, but after hearing it so many times, she just found Li Xiaoxia annoying.
"Your mouth is so bad that you killed the baby in my belly."
Ever since she got pregnant, Mrs. Zhang's temper has skyrocketed, and she will naturally not let Li Xiaoxia go this time.
"You foul-mouthed witch, if you block my destiny of having children and take my child away, I will bring death to your entire family."
Mrs. Zhang's words were harsh and her tone was terrifying.
Li Xiaoxia never thought that Mrs. Zhang would be like this now. She was afraid that Mrs. Zhang's curse would come true, so she never dared to appear in front of Mrs. Zhang and talk nonsense again.
Ye Wangshu has been busy these days. After Mrs. Zhang became pregnant, he just asked her to take care of herself and was unable to prescribe any medicine to maintain the pregnancy.
Now that he finally had some free time, Ye Wangshu naturally went up the mountain to collect herbs, and then specially took some medicine to maintain the pregnancy and boiled it for Mrs. Zhang.
Ye Wangshu was busy cooking and couldn't stay by the medicine jar all the time.
This momentary slackness gave Li Xiaoxia an opportunity.
Li Xiaoxia was calm and thought that Ye Wangshu was not around. She tried to find out what she had lost secretly, then looked around and left in a hurry.
Zhou's mother saw what Li Xiaoxia did, but she didn't know whether she should tell Ye Wangshu about it.
Mother Zhou was still hesitant until Mrs. Zhang came over and took the medicine away.
After finishing these, Ye Wangshu went to the paddy fields.
She was so busy these days that she didn't even have time to take a close look at the leeches she raised. She would go home immediately after feeding them every day.
Seeing this today, Ye Wangshu couldn't help but be ecstatic.
This leech is already quite big, and it can be processed and sold after some time.
Ye Wangshu felt much more relieved instantly, and had a smile on his face when he returned home.
As soon as she arrived at the village entrance, she met the village chief with a sad face.
"Wangshu! I'm so glad to meet you. Please think of a way to do with these potato cakes! There are many people in our village who make potato cakes, but they can't sell them at all!"
The village chief's eyes were filled with gloom and his face was full of melancholy.
This potato cake was the product of Ye Wangshu's research on potato flour. Some people saw that potato cake was relatively novel and not as complicated to make as potato flour, so they asked Ye Wangshu about the recipe of potato cake.
Ye Wangshu had personally witnessed everyone's craftsmanship, and knew it was definitely good enough to be sold, but now it simply couldn't be sold, leaving the entire village in a state of distress.
"Don't worry, Village Chief. It was my idea to make potato cakes. I will definitely find a way."
Ye Wangshu frowned slightly and made up his mind to go into the city tomorrow to see if he could bring the potato cake business into the city.
After all, in this era, the main consumer power is still in the city.
"Okay! Uncle will wait for your good news. Miss Wangshu, don't let us down!" With Ye Wangshu's assurance, the village chief immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
His performance as the village chief is becoming less and less effective than before.
"Don't worry, village chief. Nothing is difficult if you set your mind to it."
The village chief nodded. "As expected of an educated girl, what she said is full of profound truth."
Ye Wangshu smiled shyly, "Village Chief, it's getting late. I'll go home first."
"Oh good! Be careful on the road! Remember to go to the city tomorrow!"
Looking at the village chief's expression, Ye Wangshu was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
When Ye Wangshu got home, he saw Zhou's mother looking conflicted.
"Mom, what's wrong with you?"
Ye Wangshu frowned slightly, her intuition telling her that it must not be a good thing.
Zhou's mother opened her mouth but said nothing.
Seeing Zhou's mother like this, Ye Wangshu was also very anxious. "Mom, if you have anything to say, just say it. Don't be reluctant to speak up just because it will make others unhappy. You are only helping to boost their prestige!"
Ye Wangshu thought that he had bullied Zhou's mother by using his adopted sister-in-law as a concubine, and immediately looked around with vigilance.
Unexpectedly, Zhou's mother shook her head again, her face still conflicted.
"Mom, what the hell is going on?!"
It would be a lie to say that he wasn't anxious. Ye Wangshu was so anxious that his eyes turned red.
"Mom, what on earth did you see that made you so conflicted? What if it was something harmful? Your hesitation would be putting someone's life at risk!"
Looking at Ye Wangshu's tear-soaked eyes, Mother Zhou closed her eyes and said, "I saw your sister-in-law added something to the medicine you boiled."
"What!?" Ye Wangshu was shocked and immediately ran to check the medicine residue.
Seeing the extra things in the medicine residue, Ye Wangshu got up and ran to Mrs. Zhang's house without saying a word.
"Is Sister Zhang at home? Open the door quickly!" Ye Wangshu knocked on the door and kept calling Sister Zhang.
After a long time, the door of Zhang's house was finally opened.
"Wangshu, why are you in such a hurry?" Mrs. Zhang was in the early stages of her pregnancy. She felt sleepy these days and was not awake for much of the day.
"Sister Zhang, you, you... have you drunk the medicine I made for you?" Ye Wangshu panted and looked at Sister Zhang nervously.
After hearing this, Mrs. Zhang's face froze and she smiled awkwardly, then shook her head and said, "I just got home with the medicine and suddenly felt sleepy. The medicine was too hot, so I didn't drink it."
"It's good that you didn't drink it. It's good that you didn't drink it. My sister-in-law added hawthorn to the medicine. She used this good pregnancy-maintaining medicine as an abortion drug. It's also my fault that I didn't keep a close eye on it."
Thinking of Li Xiaoxia's actions, Ye Wangshu sighed repeatedly, "I don't know what the point of my sister-in-law doing this is."
"Maybe she just doesn't want to see others living better than her!"
Ye Wangshu held his forehead helplessly and took out a piece of paper and handed it to Mrs. Zhang, "This is the prescription for the medicine to preserve the pregnancy. Be careful when you boil the medicine next time."
Mrs. Zhang nodded, but her face was full of rejection. "Do you really want to take this medicine?"
"Let me take your pulse first."
Ye Wangshu also knew that the medicine was not tasty. Mrs. Zhang was in the first trimester and her appetite was poor, so it was normal for her not to want to take the medicine.
Putting his hand on Mrs. Zhang's pulse, Ye Wangshu frowned slightly.
"Mrs. Zhang, have you been having too many thoughts these days? Actually, you don't have to think too much. Just look forward to the arrival of the little baby."
"You can see that?"
Mrs. Zhang has been having all sorts of random thoughts these days. Although she feels sleepy all the time, she wakes up suddenly in the middle of her sleep.
