Chapter 96: Love Brain?
"Do you have any samples?" Dugu Lie and Duan Tianji exchanged glances and made the same decision. "We need to go there in person."
"Yes." Chu Ci had prepared the alcohol and instructions for use early in the morning.
Just like that, Dugu Lie and his disciple Duan Tianji came and left in a hurry, as if nothing had happened, yet something had happened.
Early the next morning, Chu Ci shamelessly dragged Divine Doctor Hua to the "pre-marital training."
However, it was not until three o'clock in the afternoon that Hui Niang finally arrived with her reluctant daughter.
"Madam, I'm really sorry, it's not convenient for my daughter to go out." Hui Niang tried to smooth things over for her daughter.
Chu Ci and Yuan Niang did not intend to give her this way out.
Doctor Hua also couldn't stand Xiao'er's behavior, so he said with a stern face, "Sit down and hold out your hand."
Xiao'er was still somewhat reluctant, and Hui Niang was getting anxious. She grabbed her daughter and pushed her across from Doctor Hua, then put on a smile. "Old Doctor, thank you for your help."
Doctor Hua didn't answer, concentrating on taking the patient's pulse. The answer he gave was unacceptable to both Hui Niang and her daughter Xiao'er.
"You're so young, and you're drinking such a cold contraceptive?" Doctor Hua hadn't finished his words when Xiao'er, who was sitting there, eagerly explained, "No, I didn't. I was drinking the tonic my mother-in-law specially prescribed for me."
Doctor Hua rolled his eyes and said, "Whether you drank it or not, your pulse won't lie. If you don't believe me, you can consult another doctor."
Xiao'er still didn't believe it, but Doctor Hua said, "Why? Your husband isn't the one you love? But I have to warn you, if you drink that medicine again, you will really be unable to have children."
"No, this is impossible." Xiao'er still couldn't accept it.
Seeing her daughter was so stubborn, Hui Niang slapped her hard.
"I told you all the time that Widow Qian was a hypocritical and cunning woman, and that her son couldn't possibly be a good man. But you refused to believe me. Now that the doctor has told you the truth, you still don't believe it. Do you have to wait until you lose your life before you believe it?"
However, Xiao'er was even more excited than Hui Niang: "Mom, my mother-in-law really cares about me."
"You..." Hui Niang was so angry that she couldn't help but want to hit him.
Well, this person is not only in love, but also in love with everyone.
Chu Ci secretly complained in his heart, but did not stand idly by. Instead, he asked, "Can you tell me how your mother-in-law treats you well?"
When Hui Niang saw Chu Ci speak, she immediately put down her raised hand.
Xiao'er hesitated for a moment and then said, "My mother-in-law is worried that I'm not worldly-wise, so she lets me do all the shopping. Now I'm quite adept at bargaining with different vendors."
Chu Ci didn't understand what was so proud about this, so he humbly asked, "So you are now in charge of the family affairs?"
However, when Xiao'er heard Chu Ci's question, she looked at him as if he were a monster. "My mother-in-law is still alive."
Chu Ci wanted to ask who had stipulated that a daughter-in-law couldn't run the household while her mother-in-law was still alive, but she knew better than to argue with Xiao'er about this.
"Well, let me ask you again, how much money does your mother-in-law give you every time you purchase groceries? Is it enough? Answer truthfully." At the end, Chu Ci's voice became much sterner.
Xiao'er shuddered and answered truthfully, "No, it's not enough."
But she still didn't want people to misunderstand her mother-in-law's good intentions, so she quickly explained: "But, I think, I don't think mother-in-law meant it."
Hui Niang only realized at this moment how stupid her daughter was.
Yuanniang couldn't bear to look at it, "Then let me ask you, before you got married, who was responsible for the shopping for your husband's family?"
"My mother-in-law." Xiao'er didn't know Yuanniang's intention in asking this, and answered without hesitation.
Hearing this answer, Hui Niang wanted to call her daughter stupid, but Chu Ci stopped her by shaking his head.
Yuanniang then said sarcastically, "So your mother-in-law knows the prices?"
"No... I..." Xiao'er was about to explain, but Chu Ci interrupted her and asked, "Besides Chu Ci, how else has she been nice to you?"
As expected, Xiao'er breathed a sigh of relief. "My mother-in-law trained me to cook and wash clothes, and she also said that she would register the newly reclaimed wasteland in my name as compensation for my dowry."
When Xiao'er said this, her face flushed.
Chu Ci secretly sighed inwardly, this mother-in-law is really an expert. "Who opened up that wasteland? Is it registered in your name? If not, who is it registered in your name now?"
"I opened that land. We never had enough food at home, so I reclaimed an acre of wasteland on the outskirts of the city. I thought it would save me some money. Later, my husband said that the chief clerk in the government office hated women the most, so I registered the land in your name."
At this point, Xiao'er seemed to sense something was wrong and said hesitantly, "A few days ago, my family was in urgent need of money, so my husband sold the land."
But she still brainwashed herself in her heart, telling herself that it was just a coincidence and her husband had no choice.
But will Chu Ci agree?
Chu Ci seized the opportunity and asked, "If, I mean if, your husband doesn't want you to give birth to the child, what will you do?"
After asking, he said with a hint of temptation: "Should you continue to work diligently for your husband's family like a slave, and possibly even bring trouble to your own family? Or should you take this opportunity to control your husband's family and be the master of the household? Or should you simply divorce and get out of this hell?"
"Damage my parents' family? No, I won't." Even though Xiao'er had a deep filter for her husband's family, she still couldn't remain calm when she heard that it would bring trouble to her parents' family.
Chu Ci didn't get angry and continued to add: "If your husband or mother-in-law fell seriously ill and needed a large sum of money, could you resist asking your family for help?"
However, Chu Ci's modern thinking did not resonate with Xiao'er at all. Instead, she questioned him, "Isn't it natural for relatives and friends to support each other?"
Chu Ci felt aggrieved, and Yuanniang almost couldn't help laughing out loud.
Finally, she faked a cough, barely covering it up, and quickly offered her help. "My boss just gave me an example. Maybe there are other reasons, or maybe the illness itself is fake?"
Xiao'er wanted to retort that it was impossible, but for some reason, the words couldn't come out of her mouth.
Perhaps she knew deep down in her heart that if someone had to be sacrificed in that family, she would definitely be the first to bear the brunt.
After a while, Xiao'er finally mustered up the courage. "I want to know the real reason why I can't get pregnant."
Chu Ci and the other two were speechless, but Doctor Hua still emphasized: "Little girl, I told you before that you have a lot of contraceptive pills in your body."
