Back in her hometown, where the houses were low, Wei's mother never mentioned the word "low-rise." After all, there weren't any two-story houses in her hometown, so there wasn't a place high enough for her to jump!
But it's different in the team. The family quarters are all five-story buildings. Five stories is tall enough, right? Enough for Wei's mother to jump. As long as Wei's mother climbs to the top of the building, she can threaten her son and daughter-in-law by saying that she is going to jump.
Qiao Shanshan was also a troublesome person, but in front of Wei's mother, she was like a submissive wife who dared not say anything. Even if she did, it would be useless, as Wei's mother would always be unreasonable and make a fuss!
Qiao Shanshan was in despair!
Seeing that she didn't say anything, Wei's mother was quite pleased, thinking that she had finally gotten rid of Qiao Shanshan.
Seeing how upset Qiao Shanshan was, Wei Mingyuan was a little worried. Qiao Shanshan was pale and vomited after taking the medicine. It didn't seem like she could fake it.
"Mom, will this medicine have any side effects? I see that Shanshan's health is getting worse every day!"
Mother Wei scoffed, glancing at her son with disdain. "Side effects? That's from the famous gynecologist in our village. Anyone who takes her medicine will get pregnant! Don't even mention something as simple as having a child. Even if you have a daughter and want to change her into a boy, that's possible!"
Wei Mingyuan's eyes widened. "You had a daughter, why change it to a boy?"
"That's why you grown men don't understand! That's called a 'gender-changing pill,' specially prepared for pregnant women. After taking it, the girl you're carrying will slowly grow a teapot handle in your belly, and when she's born, it will be a boy, without a doubt!" After saying this proudly, Mother Wei leaned close to Wei Mingyuan's ear and whispered mysteriously, "When your wife gets pregnant, I'll give her the 'gender-changing pill,' and I guarantee she'll have a boy!"
"Mom, don't scare me like that! This medicine isn't something you can just take casually!"
"What are you afraid of! Many women in our village have taken this medicine, it's absolutely safe. Your wife is just too delicate. She doesn't even look at herself in the mirror. She has no parents, only one brother who protected her and even died for the country! Such a family is just unlucky. Your wife brings bad luck to her parents and brother. Who would want her with such a fate? She's just lucky to have met a fool like you."
After being talked to by his mother, Wei Mingyuan was also unsure of what to do.
He felt that medicine shouldn't be taken casually, but his mother insisted that it would be fine.
Can you really get pregnant just by taking medicine? Can you really get pregnant with a son just by taking medicine? Is there really such a good thing in the world?
Wei Mingyuan didn't dare to go against his mother, so he could only let her do as she pleased. Seeing that her son supported her, Wei's mother became increasingly arrogant at home and gave Qiao Shanshan an increasingly cold look.
Qiao Shanshan refused to take her medicine, so Wei's mother said coldly, "If you don't take your medicine, I'll jump out of the window right now!"
No matter how cunning Qiao Shanshan was, she wouldn't dare let her actually jump!
With so many people watching, if Wei's mother really makes a scene, Qiao Shanshan will have no place in the team! Qiao Shanshan had been taking bitter medicine for a month, and her face had grown increasingly pale. Even in the sweltering heat, she lacked the strength to walk. When she arrived at work, her colleagues asked:
"I have a feeling you haven't been doing well lately."
"Don't even mention it! My mother-in-law keeps making me take Chinese medicine, saying it will help me get pregnant. I haven't even taken it yet, and I keep vomiting!"
"Vomiting? You're not pregnant, are you?" a colleague said with a laugh.
Qiao Shanshan was stunned for a moment. She smiled and shook her head. She had never been able to get pregnant in her previous life, and there had been no progress in this life either. Nine times out of ten, she was unable to conceive. Going to the hospital for a checkup would only add to her worries. If a problem was found out and Wei Mingyuan and his mother found out, she would lose face in the Wei family.
Every day, Wei's mother would nag and make a fuss, demanding that Qiao Shanshan take her medicine. Qiao Shanshan had no choice but to comply.
Qiao Shanshan's complexion worsened, but Wei's mother believed it was all because the medicine was effective. If the medicine wasn't effective, Qiao Shanshan's body wouldn't have reacted. In the end, a sorceress is still a sorceress. The sorceresses in their village are better than the doctors in the hospital. These doctors are just swindlers all day long, ordering all sorts of tests when you go to the hospital!
What's the point of investigating? Isn't it just a way to scam money?
Take the sorceress's magic medicine, and you'll get pregnant after two months!
Mother Wei believed it without a doubt, and even told the other people in the compound with great certainty that her daughter-in-law was about to get pregnant.
That morning, after getting up, Wei's mother kept cooking something. After a while, she brought a bowl of water to Qiao Shanshan.
Qiao Shanshan was stunned for a moment. She had just come out of the toilet. After using the toilet, Wei's mother did not flush it, and she vomited because of it. She had just vomited and her stomach was still uncomfortable when Wei's mother asked her to drink something.
Qiao Shanshan glanced at the unidentifiable substance in the bowl and said with strong resistance, "Mom, I won't drink it. My stomach feels nauseous! I still feel like vomiting!"
Mrs. Wei sneered, "Qiao Shanshan, don't think I don't know!"
Qiao Shanshan was stunned for a moment, thinking she had misheard. "What do you know?"
"What do you think I know? You young girls think you can win a man's heart by playing the victim, and he'll treat you well. But I'm not falling for that! Don't think I don't know how much effort I put into preparing and serving you your medicine, and yet you always run to the bathroom to vomit. Isn't that just for my benefit? I've seen it all in my life, and I don't care about your little tricks! Let me tell you, Qiao Shanshan, Mingyuan believes you because he's stupid! We're all women, and this kind of nonsense between women is pointless!"
With a wave of her hand, Madam Wei looked as if she knew everything about Qiao Shanshan. Qiao Shanshan had no way to express her suffering. She liked to pretend and play tricks, but she was also really uncomfortable. Her stomach was upset and churning, especially every time Madam Wei gave her Chinese medicine.
