If possible, Chen Meihua wanted to feed Jiang Xia directly, but reality did not allow it, so she could only coax and deceive him.
Jiang Xia put the bowl down, looked up at Chen Meihua, sighed, frowned slightly, and explained why he sighed.
"Yuan Ting and I got married and formed this small family. Actually, it's quite lonely to have only two of us in the house. I really want to give birth to a child for Yuan Ting, but I don't know if my belly will be able to bear the fruit."
Jiang Xia touched her belly as she spoke, and she pursed her lips slightly as if she really wanted to have a child.
"I've heard before that there's a folk recipe that says you can get pregnant if you drink it, and if you want a boy you'll have a boy, and if you want a girl you'll have a girl. I asked people around, but no one knew. It would be great if I could find a recipe for this kind of medicine, alas." Jiang Xia lowered his eyes, then spoke again.
She observed Chen Meihua out of the corner of her eye, waiting for her answer.
Chen Meihua didn't expect Jiang Xia to say this. Her eyes lit up, and when she looked at Jiang Xia, she suddenly felt that this granddaughter-in-law was much more pleasing to the eye than her own daughter-in-law. Her daughter-in-law was an unlucky person. If she had listened to her, taken the medicine, stayed at home for ten months to give birth to the baby, she would not have had the child.
Shen Panrong ate the wrong things outside and messed up her health, but she blamed her instead, not understanding her good intentions. She even said that the child was aborted by the drugs she took, causing her son to blame her and her grandchildren to not be close to her.
"I have this thing you're talking about." Chen Meihua cleared her throat and looked at Jiang Xia.
After hearing what Chen Meihua said, Jiang Xia immediately raised her head and looked at Chen Meihua, seeming to be very expectant. Upon seeing this, Chen Meihua immediately went back to the small second bedroom where she was temporarily staying and took out a bag of medicine powder wrapped in newspaper.
"This is it. I've asked around. It's very effective. That person got pregnant after eating this. It's also said that the baby was a boy." Chen Meihua placed the thing in front of Jiang Xia.
Jiang Xia looked at the medicine powder wrapped in newspaper in front of her. The weight was almost as much as half a brick and very solid. If she were to use it to make tea, she could eat more than a handful of it in three meals a day.
Opening the newspaper, Jiang Xia took a look at the powder wrapped inside. They were all medicinal herbs ground into powder. It was impossible to tell what the original medicinal herbs were. Fortunately, Jiang Xia studied this field and had some understanding of medicine.
She didn't dare touch it too much, she just reached out and picked up a part of it, put it under her nose and smelled it.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Xia immediately moved the things away and frowned slightly.
Her nose was not so good that she could not distinguish all the herbs in it, but she could still smell most of them. Most of them were indeed normal tonics, but there were a few herbs that were hidden deep and could not be easily detected. The amount was small, but they were poisonous, and the toxicity was not light.
Strychnos nux vomica, cinnabar, musk, aconite.
Among them, strychnine is highly poisonous. A slightly larger amount can cause death, and there is no specific antidote. Although the amount in it is tiny, if consumed for a long time, the accumulation of this tiny amount is very dangerous, especially for pregnant women, who should not use it as it can cause miscarriage or fetal poisoning.
