Chapter 75: Taking Advantage of the Situation
"I don't know what seductive tricks Ye Wangshu used to actually walk out of the police station like this. Pah! Now that she's back, I'm afraid she's going to steal the hearts of the men in the village again."
"That's not true. She's just a bitch who can't change her ways! A natural born vixen who just wants to seduce men everywhere!"
The two were talking excitedly, and were very happy no matter what they talked about Ye Wangshu.
"What nonsense are you talking about? You better be more polite! If you keep talking nonsense like this, I'm afraid your tongue will be pulled out after you die."
Grandma Chen saw her daughter-in-law and Li Xiaoxia together from a distance. When she got closer, she heard something even more shocking: the two of them were talking bad about Ye Wangshu.
"You two are truly as bad as each other! You call others vixens, but don't you look at yourselves? You can't even walk when you see a handsome man."
"They are both so careless with their mouths. Why do they spit out shit and urine with their mouths?"
Grandma Chen can't stand people who say one thing in public and another behind their backs, especially people like Mrs. Chen and Li Xiaoxia who like to gossip about others behind their backs.
When she saw this, she simply scolded both of them together.
It was rare for Li Xiaoxia to be scolded like this. She just covered her face and returned home in embarrassment.
"Mrs. Zhang, how are you feeling these days?" Ye Wangshu put a can of malted milk and a bag of eggs brought back from the city on the table and immediately went to Mrs. Zhang.
"You're finally back!" When Mrs. Zhang saw Ye Wangshu, she excitedly went to greet him.
"You're back, so why are you buying so many things?"
Mrs. Zhang looked at the things on the table and was about to stuff them into Ye Wangshu's arms, "Take all these back, they are not cheap!"
"I bought this especially for you. It says on it, 'For pregnant women only.' If you don't want it, it will expire even if I take it back."
Ye Wangshu pointed to the big words on the jar of malted milk and asked Mrs. Zhang to look at them. Mrs. Zhang took a look and found that it was true.
"Don't buy these things in the future. I didn't even pay you much for your consultation."
Mrs. Zhang felt bad, but she didn't have anything nice to give as a return gift. "I'll take the malted milk, and the eggs..."
"One a day, you have to finish it." Ye Wangshu looked at Mrs. Zhang with displeasure, "Have you not looked in the mirror these days? Look at how thin you are. Even when you are pregnant, you may not weigh as much as me. For the sake of the child, you have to accept it."
Mrs. Zhang's face froze and she stopped refusing.
"Wangshu, do you think your sister-in-law will continue to harm my child?!"
Mrs. Zhang's face was full of worry, which made Ye Wangshu very distressed.
"Last time she just threw the hawthorn into the medicine jar. Why don't we do this... You bring the packaged medicine to me, and then see if my sister-in-law will add anything to the herbs."
"If she doesn't add it, everyone will be happy. If she does add it...we will take advantage of her."
"Okay!" Mrs. Zhang nodded and sighed, "What on earth is your sister-in-law doing?"
Ye Wangshu sighed after hearing this, "Who knows!"
"My sister-in-law calls me 'murderer' the moment she sees me. Who knows what she's really thinking?"
After the two of them made their plans, Ye Wangshu returned home.
The next afternoon, Mrs. Zhang knocked on Zhou's door with a few packets of Chinese medicine.
Li Xiaoxia saw Mrs. Zhang and looked her up and down before asking, "Mrs. Zhang, you finally managed to have your child broken, so why are you still running around? If something happens and they get bumped into, won't you blame others?"
After hearing what Li Xiaoxia said, Mrs. Zhang frowned and said, "Wangshu came to my house yesterday and left a prescription, so I got the medicine back. I was worried that the medicine prescribed by the outside clinic would not be good, so I wanted to ask her to take a look."
"Do you trust her so much? Aren't you afraid that the medicine is wrong?" Li Xiaoxia's eyes fell on Mrs. Zhang's lower abdomen and the medicine bag in her hand, then she made way and let Mrs. Zhang enter the Zhou family.
"Wangshu should be in the kitchen now, go find her."
Mrs. Zhang nodded and thanked Li Xiaoxia.
"You're so fake! I wonder if you'll still trust Ye Wangshu when you can't have a child."
Li Xiaoxia rolled her eyes and immediately went back to her room.
Last time she added hawthorn to Mrs. Zhang's medicine, but she never received the news that Mrs. Zhang's child had died.
She just thought that she had planted too few hawthorns and never doubted whether she had been discovered.
"Wangshu, I think your sister-in-law is probably..."
As soon as she saw Ye Wangshu, Mrs. Zhang couldn't help but complain.
"Be careful with your words." Ye Wangshu pointed to the window and shook his head.
Mrs. Zhang immediately understood and covered her mouth.
"Your sister-in-law has been looking at my belly and the medicine in my hand. What do you think she is thinking?"
Mrs. Zhang is pregnant now and can't keep things to herself.
She felt bad that she was not allowed to say what she wanted to say. Afraid that Li Xiaoxia would hear, she leaned over and whispered in Ye Wangshu's ear.
Ye Wangshu frowned after hearing this and whispered a reminder: "You must be careful when decocting medicine in the future."
Mrs. Zhang nodded, a hint of nervousness flashing across her face.
"This medicine is fine, but some of the ingredients are a little old. But it's definitely effective. Don't worry, Sister Zhang! It won't be long before you'll be holding a fair and tender baby."
Seeing Li Xiaoxia walking towards the kitchen, Ye Wangshu immediately spoke up.
When Li Xiaoxia heard the sound, she hurried over.
"That's good."
There was joy in Mrs. Zhang's words, and Li Xiaoxia felt suffocated when she heard that voice.
"Sister Zhang, you've been working so hard for me these days. Why don't you have dinner at my house today? Just leave the medicine in the kitchen. I'll personally make a decoction for you later, okay?"
"Then I won't be polite. I don't know why, but I always feel that the medicine you boil is more effective than mine!"
Mrs. Zhang's voice was shy, and Li Xiaoxia snorted in her heart.
I will let you know later what is the best "abortion-maintaining medicine".
After the meal was ready, Ye Wangshu asked Mrs. Zhang to go to the main room and wait, not letting her get involved in serving the meal.
Li Xiaoxia took advantage of Ye Wangshu's coming and going to sneak into the kitchen, opened the medicines given to Mrs. Zhang, and then took out a bag of hawthorn fruits and hid them in the bag.
Afraid that Ye Wangshu would come back suddenly, Li Xiaoxia simply wrapped it up and ran out of the kitchen.
Ye Wangshu and Mrs. Zhang hid in the dark and felt a chill in their hearts when they saw Li Xiaoxia's actions.
The two looked at each other and then walked out.
Everyone enjoyed the meal very much, and Zhou's mother even took Zhang's wife aside to talk about many things to pay attention to during pregnancy.
"If you like sour food, add more vinegar to your food. Don't eat hawthorn berries. Your sister-in-law greedily ate two when she was pregnant with Zhanpeng, and Zhanpeng almost died."
Recalling the past, Zhou's mother couldn't help but sigh repeatedly.
"Don't worry, Auntie. I know."
