She is now at home taking care of the baby. Because of the severe pregnancy reactions, she can only lie in bed every day, and at most get out of bed and walk around. She feels very bored, so she asks Ningtang to bring her some books so that she can read them while lying in bed to kill time.

As soon as Ning Tang arrived at the Wu family, he smelled a pungent smell of Chinese medicine. "Caiwei, what are you cooking at home?" Why does it smell so bad?

Zhou Caiwei replied, "I don't know. My mother-in-law cooked it. Let's not talk about this. You are finally here. Come and talk to me. I am almost bored to death."

Ning Tang asked her, "Do you still feel dizzy, nauseous and want to vomit?"

Zhou Caiwei said, "Yeah, I didn't expect the pregnancy reaction to be so intense. If I had known, I wouldn't have gotten pregnant."

Having said this, she touched her belly with a happy look on her face.

Ning Tang smiled and didn't expose her. "You can eat some sour dates or suck on some sour plums or olives. It can help stop vomiting."

Zhou Caiwei nodded, "I know." She touched her belly with a sweet smile on her face, "I don't know if this baby is a boy or a girl."

Ning Tang smiled and said, "Do you want a boy or a girl?"

Zhou Caiwei thought about it and said firmly, "Give birth to a girl. I like girls. They are well-behaved, cute and considerate, unlike boys who are naughty and mischievous."

As a teacher, she has seen too many naughty little boys who love to cause trouble. She worries about this every day. "If you give birth to a child like your second daughter, who is beautiful and sings well, she will almost become a little star on our island."

"Why don't you say give birth to a child like the first and third child?" Ning Tang said.

Zhou Caiwei was amused. "What? If I give birth to a baby like the first and third, and they keep making trouble every day, I won't have anything to do but clean up the mess for them."

Before Ning Tang could reply, Zhou Caiwei's mother-in-law Miao Xiaofeng came out of the kitchen with a bowl of black liquid in her hand. She pouted and said, "Why give birth to a girl? Can a girl carry on the family line? Listen to me, if you want to give birth, give birth to a boy."

Zhou Caiwei pursed her lips and whispered, "It doesn't matter if it's a boy or a girl."

Miao Xiaofeng stuffed the porcelain bowl into Zhou Caiwei's hand, glanced at her belly, and said with a gentle smile, "Drink it quickly."

After saying that, she turned to look at Ning Tang, "You are Xiao Ning, right? I heard Caiwei mention you."

Ning Tang smiled politely, "Hello, Auntie."

"Yeah." Miao Xiaofeng nodded. "I heard that you have never given birth to a child?"

Ning Tang raised her eyebrows, "Well, Auntie, what's wrong?"

Miao Xiaofeng shook her head in disapproval, "How can a woman not give birth to a child of her own? Think about it, without a child of your own, who will remember you after a hundred years?"

Ning Tang smiled and said, "Aunt, may I ask, do you still remember the name of your grandfather's grandfather's grandfather?"

Miao Xiaofeng was stunned, and without thinking, she said, "My grandfather's grandfather's grandfather, he lived in the last century. How could I remember his name?"

Ning Tang clapped his hands, "That's it." He smiled and said, "Auntie, you said it yourself. If you don't have your own children, who will remember you a hundred years later? Auntie, your grandfather's great-grandfather didn't have his own children? Then how did you come to be? As a descendant, how come you don't remember the name of your grandfather's great-grandfather's great-grandfather? This shouldn't be the case."

Zhou Caiwei couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Miao Xiaofeng grunted for a long time, unable to explain, and said with a glare, "Anyway, a woman is incomplete if she doesn't give birth to a child."

How could it be possible? It was too rude to say that. Zhou Caiwei stamped her feet and yelled, "Mom!"

Miao Xiaofeng glared at her and said, "What does this have to do with you? Take your medicine quickly."

"Oh." Zhou Caiwei pursed her lips, responded, and brought the porcelain bowl to her mouth.

Ning Tang looked at the dark liquid in the porcelain bowl. For some reason, his heart skipped a beat. He looked at Miao Xiaofeng and asked, "Auntie, what did you give Caiwei to drink?"

When talking about this, Miao Xiaofeng showed an endlessly gentle smile on her face and said softly, "This is a medicine to preserve pregnancy."

Zhou Caiwei pinched her nose and took a few sips, then stuck out her tongue. "It's so bitter, even more bitter than bitter coffee."

"It's bitter, so don't drink it." Ning Tang took the bowl away from her mouth. "There's a saying that goes, 'All medicines are three parts poison.'"

After saying that, he smiled at Miao Xiaofeng and said, "Auntie, don't you think that this is something you put into your mouth? You can't drink it carelessly. Who knows if it's harmful to people?"

Miao Xiaofeng's face flashed with obvious panic, and she stammered, "How, how is it possible? It's something that harms people." She paused, "You are young and don't understand. This thing is a good thing."

Ning Tang curled up her lips and said, "It's a good thing. Auntie, can you show me the residue? I can also see it."

As she walked towards the kitchen, she said, "To be honest, my grandfather is an old Chinese medicine doctor. When I was in elementary school, I knew a lot of Chinese medicines and countless prescriptions."

This was of course to fool Miao Xiaofeng. How could Ningtang know anything about Chinese medicine?

Because Miao Xiaofeng's behavior was so strange, she wanted to see what kind of drug residue it was. Even if she couldn't tell what it was, she could secretly hide some and show it to someone who knew about it.

When Miao Xiaofeng heard that Ning Tang's grandfather was an 'old Chinese doctor', her face suddenly turned ugly. She took a step forward and stood firmly in front of her with her strong and sturdy body. "Xiao Ning, the doctor who gave me the medicine said that this is a secret recipe passed down in their family for generations and cannot be shown to others. If someone learns it, how can they make money from it?"

Miao Xiaofeng couldn't stop Ning Tang. She quickly passed her and walked towards the kitchen. "Auntie, I'll buy it from you. I can pay double the price. I just want to see this mysterious 'pregnancy-preserving medicine'."

Seeing Ning Tang was about to go to the kitchen, Miao Xiaofeng suddenly became anxious. She stepped forward, grabbed Ning Tang's arm tightly, and said loudly with a fierce look on her face, "Don't go!"

As if she felt that she had been too obvious and harsh, she laughed awkwardly and said, "I, I mean, it's not good for you to barge into other people's homes like this."

When Miao Xiaofeng said this, he stared at Ningtang. The transverse flesh on his cheekbone jumped twice, but the corners of his mouth were bent upwards, which looked weird no matter how you looked at it, and particularly scary.

Even though Zhou Caiwei was slow to notice, she looked at Miao Xiaofeng suspiciously, "Mom, what on earth did you give me to drink?"

She put the porcelain bowl on the table, and a few drops of the black liquid in the bowl splashed onto the back of her hand. It was obviously cool, but she inexplicably felt it was hot.

At this point, Miao Xiaofeng had to say it. She pursed her lips and said, "What I gave you to drink was not a 'pregnancy-preserving drug', but a 'pregnancy-changing drug'."

"What do 'pregnancy preservation' and 'fetal change' mean?" Zhou Caiwei was a little confused and didn't react for a moment.

When Ning Tang heard about the "reincarnation", she had a bad feeling in her heart. Sure enough, Miao Xiaofeng confirmed it. She said mysteriously, "This "reincarnation" can change a female fetus into a male fetus. Just drink it. If you are pregnant with a boy, it's fine. If it is a girl, it will become a boy. How about it, isn't it amazing?"

After hearing this, Ning Tang found it extremely absurd.

What does it mean to be able to change a male fetus into a female? Who in their right mind would believe this?

However, in modern times, when she returned to the countryside, she heard her grandmother say that in the past, there was a popular "sex-changing medicine" in her grandmother's village. The same words as Miao Xiaofeng said, that drinking it can change a girl into a boy.

At that time, many people believed this, and they bought this so-called "sex-changing medicine" from bad doctors at high prices, and gave it to pregnant women at home, thinking that they could really give birth to a boy. But after ten months of pregnancy, when the child was born, the boy's genitals were deformed, and the girl actually grew "that thing", but it was completely useless and not normal. It was so tiny that at first glance, it looked like an extra piece of meat.

Ning Tang later became curious and did some research. It was said that this "sex-changing drug" contained a large amount of hormones. It was under the action of the hormones that the female baby would grow "that thing", but in fact the internal reproductive system was still that of a female. This was called "pseudohermaphroditism".

Ning Tang's heart skipped a beat and he looked at the black liquid in the porcelain bowl? This couldn't be what Miao Xiaofeng gave Zhou Caiwei to drink!

Now that she had said it all, Miao Xiaofeng simply said it all at once without hiding anything. "I originally wanted to tell you directly. Who told you and Dahui not to believe in this? Now you are not allowed to believe in feudal superstitions, so I can only do this secretly."

She picked up the porcelain bowl with one hand, and pulled Zhou Caiwei with the other, desperately pushing the porcelain bowl into Zhou Caiwei's mouth, "Caiwei, just drink it obediently. I'm your mother-in-law, how could I harm you?"

Zhou Caiwei resisted desperately, but what could she do? She was no match for Miao Xiaofeng's strength.

At the critical moment, Ning Tang stepped forward and knocked over the porcelain bowl with one palm, and the black medicine juice spilled all over the floor.

Miao Xiaofeng looked at the medicine on the ground, his eyes dazed, he sat down on the ground, and began to cry, "Hey, my reincarnation medicine, I bought this from the miracle doctor at a high price, I only have this one, you pay for it, you pay for it!"

Wu Dahui came back from the army. As soon as he got home, he saw Miao Xiaofeng sitting on the ground. He was stunned and asked, "Mom, what are you doing?"

When Miao Xiaofeng saw her son coming back, she stopped crying and patted her butt and stood up. "Son, please help me. It's her!" She pointed at Ningtang and said, "She knocked over the reincarnation medicine that I worked so hard to make!"

It wasn't enough to sue Ning Tang, she also wanted to blame Zhou Caiwei, "And your wife, I asked her to drink a fetal rebirth medicine, but she refused to drink it no matter what. She is so stupid. This is a good thing that you can't get even if you pray to the gods. Do you know how many people are waiting in line to buy it?"

Wu Dahui was confused by her series of questions and frowned, "Tell me slowly."

Miao Xiaofeng pursed her lips and recounted the whole story, emphasizing how hard it was to obtain this "reincarnation medicine". What about Zhou Caiwei? What about her? She was ignorant. What about Ning Tang? What about her? She was meddling in other people's business. She had good intentions but was treated as a donkey's liver and lungs. It was like a dog biting Lu Dongbin, who didn't recognize the kindness of a good person.

Wu Dahui's brows furrowed as he listened, and he quickly asked Zhou Caiwei, "Caiwei, how much of the medicine did you drink?"

Zhou Caiwei had just finished asking Ning Tang to help her vomit. She said in a hoarse voice, "No, I didn't drink much." She pointed to the ground and said, "Luckily Xiao Ning was quick and basically knocked it all over the ground."

Wu Dahui heaved a sigh of relief. "It sounds like this is something that can harm people. Even though you only drank a little, you can't take it lightly. I'll take a day off tomorrow and go to the hospital with you for a checkup so you can rest assured."

After saying that, he nodded apologetically to Ningtang, his eyes full of gratitude, "Thank you, Xiaoning."

Zhou Caiwei drank the medicine, and even though she induced vomiting, she still felt her throat burning, her stomach aching, and her whole body shivering. She looked at Miao Xiaofeng with hatred in her eyes, and was angry at Wu Dahui, saying angrily, "You don't have to accompany me." She looked at Ning Tang and pleaded softly, "Xiao Ning, accompany me."

The only person she can and dares to trust now is Ning Tang.

Ning Tang patted her back soothingly and said, "Okay, I'll go with you." She nodded towards Wu Dahui implicitly, telling him not to worry.

She also realized that Wu Dahui was probably unaware of the matter and it was Miao Xiaofeng's idea alone.

But it is not easy to say this to Zhou Caiwei. Zhou Caiwei is now stimulated and has a bit of a stress reaction. No matter what, Miao Xiaofeng is Wu Dahui's biological mother. It is normal for her not to want to see these two people.

Ning Tang stood up and poured a glass of boiled water for Zhou Caiwei. Zhou Caiwei took the boiled water, rinsed her mouth, and then she felt that the bitter taste of medicine in her mouth had faded a little.

Seeing that his wife was fine, Wu Dahui looked at Miao Xiaofeng and said angrily, "Mom, how could you give Caiwei some kind of reincarnation drug? What if something goes wrong after taking it? What should we do? You are practicing feudal superstition."

"What feudal superstition? The miracle doctor said that this medicine for changing one's sex life is very useful." Miao Xiaofeng rolled her eyes and lowered her voice mysteriously, "In our village, I know of more than ten families who gave birth to sons by taking this medicine. But they are sons, with boys, who can carry on the family line!"

Wu Dahui was furious. He slapped the sofa handle and said, "I don't want a son. Mom, I've told you so many times, it doesn't matter whether it's a boy or a girl!"

"Bah!" Miao Xiaofeng spat in Wu Dahui's face, pointed at Zhou Caiwei, and said hatefully, "In the early years, a hen that didn't lay eggs couldn't give birth to a child. You told me that children are all fate, and there's no need to rush. Okay, I'll wait and wait. You're almost forty. In our village, people your age, their grandchildren can already make soy sauce."

She put her hands on her hips and said, "Now that you're finally pregnant, you tell me it doesn't matter whether it's a boy or a girl. Ugh, do you believe that if you tell others? Now everyone is preaching 'it doesn't matter whether it's a boy or a girl' and 'gender equality'. Everyone says they are advanced in thought and believe in this, but in reality, if you don't have a son, people will point their fingers at you and call you a loser, and you dare not say a word."

Wu Dahui had never thought about it this way. He looked at Miao Xiaofeng and was very disappointed. "Mom, don't girls mean they are not your grandchildren? Don't you often bring things back to grandpa and grandma? Do you have to take that damned sex-changing medicine to turn all girls into boys? Then let me ask you, if everyone in the world has given birth to boys, who will give birth to children in the future? Who will give birth to the son you said can carry on the family line?"

Miao Xiaofeng was stunned. She obviously hadn't thought about this question. She stammered, "I, I don't care. Anyway, no matter who gives birth to a girl, you can't give birth to a girl."

Wu Dahui's face was cold and he remained indifferent.

Seeing this, Miao Xiaofeng rolled her eyes and used the strategy of playing the victim. She slapped her thigh and began to wipe away her tears. "Dahui, I'm doing this for your own good. Think about it. You're almost 40 years old. The baby in Caiwei's belly may be the only child you'll have in your life. Your father and I only have you as a son. If you don't give birth to a son, how can our family line continue? If you give birth to a daughter, won't our family line be cut off?"

Wu Dahui just thought it was ridiculous, "Then just cut it off." He looked at Zhou Caiwei, "Caiwei, do you still feel uncomfortable in your stomach?"

Zhou Caiwei turned her head away and didn't look at him.

Wu Dahui took a deep breath and said, "Mom, I'll book a train ticket for you tomorrow. You can go back now."

Miao Xiaofeng looked incredulous and asked in shock, "What? You want to chase me away?"

"Right." Wu Dahui made up his mind, "Caiwei doesn't need you to take care of her. We can handle it on our own. You're older now, so you should work less and take care of your body more."

Ever since Miao Xiaofeng came, there has been no peace at home, with chaos every day. Not only did she sow discord between herself and Caiwei, but now she has even come up with this weird thing called the rebirth-changing medicine. If she is not allowed to leave, this family will sooner or later break up.

Miao Xiaofeng looked at Wu Dahui, then at Zhou Caiwei, and said with gritted teeth, "Okay, okay, okay, I really gave birth to a filial son. He only wants a daughter-in-law and not a mother."

After saying that, he stomped his feet and rushed up to the second floor, saying as he walked, "No? Hurry up, I'll leave by myself, and don't ask me to come back in the future!"

Miao Xiaofeng packed her luggage that day and left by train the next day.

As soon as she left, Zhou Caiwei finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The reason why Zhou Caiwei had an unstable pregnancy was most likely caused by Miao Xiaofeng. As soon as she came, she started saying that the feng shui was bad here and that place, and forced Zhou Caiwei and Wu Dahui to sleep in separate rooms, saying that pregnant women had bad luck and would ruin Wu Dahui's fortune.

In short, she was doing this and that and never stopped. Zhou Caiwei was really annoyed by her.

On the day Miao Xiaofeng passed away, Ning Tang accompanied Zhou Caiwei to the hospital.

The doctor confirmed that the drug that can change one's sex life is harmful and can cause deformities in the reproductive organs of babies.

Zhou Caiwei and Wu Dahui were immediately terrified. Fortunately, Ning Tang arrived in time, was vigilant, and asked a few more questions, so Miao Xiaofeng was prevented from making a big mistake.

Fortunately, due to Ning Tang's obstruction, Zhou Caiwei only drank a few sips and induced vomiting in time, so she vomited out the medicine not long after it entered her stomach.

After the doctor's examination, Zhou Caiwei was not seriously ill and the child was also fine, so everyone was happy.

Zhou Caiwei pulled Ningtang and said gratefully, "Xiaoning, if it weren't for you, I would have drunk that reincarnation medicine."

Then she would give birth to a child with deformed reproductive organs, just as the doctor said. What would she do when the child grew up? How could she deal with it? Wouldn't she hate her mother and her grandmother Miao Xiaofeng to death?

Thinking of this, Zhou Caiwei felt a little scared.

Ning Tang waved his hands and said, "Don't be so quick to thank me. Remember to be more careful in the future and don't drink anything. This time it's a rebirth medicine, what if it's a poison next time?"

Zhou Caiwei nodded heavily, "Don't worry, I will be more careful next time. If someone gives me food, I will ask what it is before eating it."

In fact, we can't blame Zhou Caiwei entirely for her negligence. After all, who could have imagined that Miao Xiaofeng, the mother-in-law, out of ignorance and feudal superstition, would let Zhou Caiwei take this harmful reincarnation drug for the purpose of "changing from female to male" and "continuing the family line"?

Ning Tang used this incident as a negative example to teach Da Wa and Er Niu, "…Remember, you should not have the intention to harm others, but you must be on guard against others. If a stranger gives you something to eat, you must be very careful."

Thinking that Miao Xiaofeng was not a "stranger" to Zhou Caiwei, Ning Tang paused and said, "Even if your father and I gave you something to eat, you couldn't just eat it up without thinking."

Erniu tilted her head and said, "But mom and dad won't hurt us."

The eldest child said, "That's right, we don't need to think about what you give us, we just eat it."

Shen Lie said, "If it's ordinary food, it's fine. But if it's strange medicine like the one Grandma Zhou Caiwei gave you, you have to think carefully before taking it."

"Why?" Erniu still didn't understand.

Ning Tang said: "Because your father and I are not omniscient and omnipotent, there are times when we don't understand and times when we are fooled by others. In short, you must remember to be more careful in everything."

"Oh." Big Boy responded.

Seeing that Da Wa and Er Niu still looked like they didn't take it seriously, Ning Tang said solemnly, "I'm not trying to deceive or scare you. There are a lot of bad people out there now, and the tricks they use are endless and hard to guard against."

Erniu asked: "How will they deceive us?"

"There are many methods, such as medicine. One is the medicine for changing the fetus, and there is also a medicine for infertile women to have children. It is said that you go to the temple to ask for a Taoist talisman, and then burn the talisman and take the talisman ashes and mix it with water to drink. After drinking it, you can have a baby." Ning Tang said.

Erniu nodded and shook her head, "This is a lie to fool fools, right? If you can't have a baby, you should go to the hospital to see a doctor. It's useless to pray to the gods."

Ning Tang said, "In addition to these two kinds of drugs, there is also the drug that harms people." She thought for a moment and said, "Do you remember the first time we went back to Shangang Village, we met a kidnapper who wanted to kidnap Su Guangzong on the train?"

Big Brother said, "Yes." He remembered.

At that time, the police officer also taught them that children should not follow strangers casually.

Ning Tang continued, "What if the bad guys didn't kidnap Su Guangzong by tricking him, but used drugs that could make people unconscious?"

Shen Lie: "Imagine that you are alone on a train and you don't have a water bottle with you. You are very thirsty. At this time, a kind-looking auntie, or a young, handsome and beautiful gay or lesbian, says that he or she has brought some water and can give you a sip. Will you drink it or not?"

Erniu hesitated and said, "I think he can drink it."

Shen Lie said, "Then you've fallen into a trap. There's a drug in the water. You'll be unconscious soon after drinking it. Then you can let those scammers do whatever they want."

Ning Tang said, "Even if it's not food that can be eaten, and he gave you his own enamel pot, you still have to be careful. What if he put a layer of drug on the bottom of the enamel pot and you don't know it?"

When Da Wa and Er Niu thought of this possibility, they immediately felt goosebumps all over their bodies and shuddered. "It's too scary. It's impossible to guard against it."

Ning Tang concluded, "So, no matter where you are or what you do, you have to be more careful. You know, there are as many bad people as good people in this world."
