The annoyed Xu Damao rolled up his sleeves and shouted that he wanted to fight with Sha Zhu.
But at this moment, Sha Zhu was too lazy to teach Xu Damao a lesson. He simply waved his hand and said, "Forget it. Grandpa won't bother with you!"
"This medicinal diet was taught to me by Chen Jun. He said it might be able to cure your infertility, but there's no guarantee it will work, so you can eat it for a few days first."
Seeing that Sha Zhu started to act serious, Xu Damao asked with some concern: "Sha Zhu, can you be so kind?"
The two brothers have been fighting since they were young. Whenever they meet on the road, they always have to quarrel with each other. Although their relationship has eased a little now, it is far from the point where they would make medicine for each other.
"Tsk, Grandpa is here to make money!" Sha Zhu pointed at the pot in the kitchen. "In addition to the money for the ingredients, you have to give me an extra two dollars for my hard work. I'll pay you and hand you over the goods later, so you don't default on your debt."
oh!
It turns out there is a charge!
If Sha Zhu didn't want anything, Xu Damao really wouldn't dare to eat it.
If there is a fee, then everything is reasonable, and you don't have to owe Sha Zhu a favor.
Xu Damao breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this, and became even more excited about this medicinal food that could treat infertility.
"Hurry, hurry, let me see what the medicinal food looks like!" Xu Damao didn't even ask the price and went straight into Sha Zhu's kitchen.
"Don't lift the lid of the pot yet!"
Sha Zhu didn't stop him, he just spoke up to give him a reminder.
The kitchen is now filled with the smell of Chinese herbal medicine. If Xu Damao doesn't mind the fumes, then he can just stay.
Just as Xu Damao and Sha Zhu were bickering, Yi Zhonghai in the yard returned home with a complicated expression.
As soon as he entered the house, he locked the door and hurriedly called over an old lady.
"Old Yi, what's wrong with you?" An old lady was feeding Yi Xiaohua. Seeing that Yi Zhonghai looked a little unnatural, she subconsciously thought that something had happened.
"Could it be Huaihua's parents who are here?"
It has been a long time since Yi Xiaohua was adopted. Aunt Yi has long regarded Yi Xiaohua as her own child, but the more this happens, the more worried Aunt Yi is that the child's biological parents will run to the city to snatch the child away.
There were even a few times when I dreamed about the scene of snatching children away.
"How is that possible? Huaihua's household registration is in our family. No one can take it away. Don't be suspicious all the time." After Yi Zhonghai said this, he told the aunt what he had just heard.
The focus is on medicinal food.
"A medicinal diet to treat infertility?" The woman frowned slightly and said unhappily, "I don't want to eat it. I already have Sophora japonica flowers!"
Ever since the two got married, Aunt Yida has been going to the doctor to get medicine every few days. She has tried all kinds of Western and Chinese medicine, and she feels nauseous when she hears the word "medicine".
But there was no result. Instead, my health got worse and worse because I took too many medicines.
If it were before, the aunt might have planned to take medicine, but now that she has the locust flowers, she no longer wants to bother.
Yi Zhonghai's expression suddenly froze when he heard this. He opened his mouth and continued for a while, "This medicinal food is for men."
I was just anxious to discuss this with an auntie, and I forgot about this matter out of carelessness.
If I say that I want to take this medicinal food to cure my illness, wouldn't that be admitting that I am not capable of it?
Isn't it for yourself to eat?
The old lady nodded, but then raised her hand and punched Yi Zhonghai.
"You heartless thing, are you finally willing to admit that you are no longer capable?"
In fact, she had long suspected that her infertility was caused by Yi Zhonghai, but Yi Zhonghai refused to admit it. In addition, Yi Zhonghai supported the family and had the final say at home, so the aunt could not speak out.
Seeing this, Yi Zhonghai changed the subject and asked, "Should we ask Sha Zhu for some? If it really works, we can..."
"We already have locust flowers!" The aunt did not refuse or agree, but moved the locust flowers out.
Huaihua is a very sensible child and rarely cries at home. Both Aunt Yi and Yi Zhonghai love her very much.
The aunt even felt that she was satisfied just to raise Huaihua in this life, and never thought about having a child of her own.
In addition, since the old lady is no longer young, it will definitely be more troublesome for her to have a baby.
"I can afford to raise one more child!" Yi Zhonghai glanced at Huaihua's playful figure and said in a low voice, "That medicinal diet of Shazhu's is a recipe given by Chen Jun. That kid is very evil. Have you forgotten what Xu Damao's wife said this day?"
This morning, the aunts gathered together to do some chores and chat. Xu Damao's wife Hou Guifang praised the medicinal food to the sky, saying that eating a bowl of it was more effective than taking three days of medicine.
Because it was too exaggerated, some aunties didn't believe it at all.
What kind of medicinal food can be so powerful? Could it be that it contains hundred-year-old ginseng, which can be very nutritious just by eating one bite?
But then again, Hou Guifang did not cough again in the morning, and many people did not notice this detail.
Just now during dinner, an old lady told Yi Zhonghai about this incident as a joke.
Then Yi Zhonghai heard the conversation between Sha Zhu and Xu Damao.
"But if there is another child, Huaihua will definitely suffer." The aunt still didn't want to agree.
But Yi Zhonghai was already very tempted. He wanted a son, a biological son, a son who could carry on the family line.
It’s not that Yi Zhonghai favors boys over girls, but most people at that time had this kind of thinking.
As a male, the son is the main labor force in the family. He can not only earn money to support the family, but also have children for the family.
"What's wrong with that? It's just right for Huaihua to keep her company!" Yi Zhonghai took Auntie's hand and said seriously, "If we give birth to a daughter, we'll let her and Huaihua be sisters. If we give birth to a son, we'll let Huaihua be our daughter-in-law."
The old lady became furious upon hearing this and punched Yi Zhonghai again with her hand.
"Old feudal!"
"Huaihua is my daughter and will be my daughter forever. Put away your feudal ideas. Now it is a new society and we value free love." The old lady was very angry at Yi Zhonghai's words.
How can a good girl become a daughter-in-law? That's nonsense.
"Well, that's all I'm saying. If the medicinal food is really effective, wouldn't you be happy to have a child in the family?"
This time, the aunt was silent for several minutes. She looked at Huaihua who was playing, then looked at Yi Zhonghai, and nodded reluctantly.
"You can try if you want. I won't stop you, but Huaihua is our daughter, our dear daughter. You have to remember this!"
"Of course, and this medicinal food may not be effective. Let's just let nature take its course."
Seeing the old lady nodded, Yi Zhonghai felt happy.
He was not sure whether the medicinal food would be useful, but it was not a big problem. Xu Damao was the experimental subject in front. If Xu Damao was really cured, it would not be too late for him to go find Sha Zhu.
