"I agree."
Song Lan nodded slightly and said with a smile, "It's definitely inconvenient to be at work during the day. How about this, after you get off work, bring your sister to my house. I'll take her pulse first. If your brother-in-law is available, it would be best if he could come along too, since a woman's ability to conceive is not just her own business."
Upon hearing this, Wei Shengli rubbed his hands together with joy: "Thank you! I really appreciate it! I'll go to our department right now and call my brother-in-law's workplace, and then I'll bring my sister and her husband to see you."
"You are welcome."
With a faint smile on her face, Song Lan said, "Go make a call to the department. It's almost time to get off work. I can keep watch here by myself."
"Thanks!"
Wei Shengli sincerely thanked him, and then said, "Then I'll go first."
"Go."
Watching Wei Shengli walk away, Song Lan turned her gaze away.
Around 7 p.m.
The Wei family.
"Second brother, are you...are you sure that I can get pregnant after being treated by your colleague?"
Wei Hongjuan had just returned to her parents' home after get off work when her elderly mother pulled her inside to talk. When she came out of the room, she saw Wei Shengli sitting in the living room and her eyes involuntarily reddened as she asked him a question.
"Sis, I don't know what Mom told you, but I didn't say that question you just asked her."
Having arranged with Song Lan to examine his older sister and brother-in-law's pulses, Wei Shengli finished making the call at the security department. It was time to leave work, so he didn't linger in the office and rushed home to tell his elderly mother the good news.
Unexpectedly, his mother was too excited and exaggerated what he said to his sister, which made his sister misunderstand that Song's treatment would guarantee her pregnancy. This was too much. What if Song diagnosed his sister or brother-in-law with some hidden illness that would prevent them from having their own children? Wouldn't that mean that Song's medical skills were not good?
Well, Wei Shengli wasn't sure if his sister and brother-in-law would think that way, but he didn't want his good intentions to give Song Lan a reputation for being an incompetent doctor.
Upon hearing Wei Shengli's words, Wei Hongjuan's expression immediately darkened. Seeing this, Wei Shengli said helplessly, "Sister, for any doctor, before diagnosing a patient and knowing the cause of the illness, it is impossible to say that they can definitely cure the patient."
I just told Mom that my colleague knows traditional Chinese medicine and is very skilled. Just in the last few years, she cured Sister Wang from our security department of her migraines, and then she cured Wang Pujun's mother's headaches.
So I asked her to take a look at you and my brother-in-law. Maybe through her diagnosis, she could find something wrong with either of us, and if she could treat it, then you and my brother-in-law would have a chance to have your own child, and you wouldn't have to continue this cold war and threatening divorce.
"How did I exaggerate?"
Wei's mother glared at Wei Shengli: "I just wanted to give your sister a little more hope, so she wouldn't be crying all the time and ruin her own little family!"
"Mom, don't deny it. Just what my sister said, are you sure you're not exaggerating?"
Wei Shengli said, "What do you mean that my sister will definitely get pregnant after being treated by my colleague? We need to understand one thing: my colleague is a human being, not a god. Even if she is highly skilled in medicine, it doesn't mean she can cure every disease."
If that doctor happens to be unable to treat my sister or brother-in-law, or can't even diagnose whether they have any health problems, wouldn't you call them a quack?
"I'm not senile yet!"
Wei's mother glared at Wei Shengli again, annoyed: "If your sister and brother-in-law dare to say a bad word about your colleague behind his back because he failed to find out if there was a problem with their health, or if he found a problem but said it couldn't be treated, I'll make them pay!"
"You'd better remember this!"
Wei Shengli laughed out loud: "We'll go over when my brother-in-law arrives."
"Can't you use your brain? People just got home from get off work like you. Don't they need to cook, eat, and rest for a while?" Wei Shengli naturally understood the implication in his mother's words. He chuckled and said, "It was my fault for not thinking things through."
At this moment, Wei Hongjuan grasped her mother's hand, tears welling up in her eyes, and sniffled as she said, "Mom, I'm really scared..." She was afraid that the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.
Looking at her only daughter, Wei's mother gently patted the back of her hand, her eyes full of heartache, and said, "Don't be afraid. If it really is your problem, even your second brother's colleague can't cure it. If you still insist on divorce, Mom... Mom won't stop you..."
Although she said that, as soon as Wei's mother finished speaking, she turned her head away and unconsciously wiped the corner of her eye with her hand.
“I’ve taken a lot of medication over the years of our marriage, and so has your son-in-law. We just want a child of our own, but… it’s always been a pipe dream. Mom… I know Sun Hao is good to me, but that’s precisely why I don’t want to hold him back. I don’t want him to be without anyone to rely on when he gets old.”
As she spoke, Wei Hongjuan couldn't hold back and covered her mouth, bursting into tears.
Wei's mother had two sons and a daughter in her life. She raised all three children with great care. Her eldest son worked in the county town and married his high school classmate. The woman's family lived in the county town. Since she was an only child, the young couple lived in the woman's family home in the county town after they got married. They got married three years ago, and the following year she gave birth to a big, healthy grandson.
Her youngest son, Shengli, is still unmarried. She plans to find a suitable wife for him before the New Year and then marry her next year. In short, she has no worries about her two sons' affairs.
This daughter, however, has been married for almost eight years, but she still hasn't gotten pregnant.
The daughter is worried, and so is her mother.
Seeing her daughter heartbroken because she couldn't conceive and recently getting a divorce from her son-in-law made her feel terrible.
To be honest, as a mother, she really didn't want to see her daughter's marriage break down, and she didn't want to see the young couple who had feelings for each other go their separate ways!
Hopefully, her younger son's colleague can diagnose whether her daughter or son-in-law has any health problems by taking their pulse.
If you're sick, get treatment; if you're not sick, why can't you get pregnant? What's causing this?
Sun Hao, Wei Hongjuan's husband, received a call from his brother-in-law Wei Shengli. After getting off work, he rode his bike home to say hello and then rushed over from his home.
It should be noted that the Sun family lived in the town, and Sun Hao worked at the town's grain and oil station. The distance he traveled by bicycle to the machinery factory was not far at all.
"Mom, victory!"
After greeting Wei's mother and Wei Shengli upon entering, Sun Hao turned his gaze to his wife, Wei Hongjuan: "Juan'er, Shengli told you, right? I think it's worth a try. If the result doesn't change, we can give up. If you really like children, we can adopt one from an orphanage. Anyway, I will absolutely not agree to a divorce!"
Ever since Wei Hongjuan filed for divorce, Sun Hao has made it a point every time he visits his in-laws' home that he is determined not to divorce her!
"Let's eat. Come on, Juan'er and Mom will set the table. Shengli, go see if your dad is back yet."
