But the longer she waited, the more anxious she became, especially after seeing Shu Ying's two children. The two of them had lost contact for so many years, and it seemed that they had only lived together when they first got married. Not only was Shu Ying able to get pregnant in such a short time, but she was also able to give birth to twins. What kind of incredible luck did she have?
"This is an old remedy I found in my hometown. As long as you drink it according to this course of treatment, you can have a son. I simmered it on the fire for two hours. Drink it while it's hot, otherwise it will affect the efficacy."
Xie Wanying was thinking about how to go to the hospital for a check-up discreetly when Old Lady Wang came over with a bowl of dark, murky medicine. The unpleasant smell filled the entire room. Xie Wanying pinched her nose with one hand, her eyes showing some impatience.
"Mom, can you please stop making this stuff every day? What does it taste like? It's not fit for human consumption. Those folk remedies have killed countless people. Having a child depends on the right timing. If your folk remedies worked, there wouldn't be so many women who can't have children."
She had been drinking different prescriptions for half a year without any effect. Old Mrs. Wang was anxious to have a grandson and would rub her every day.
Seeing that Xie Wanying was somewhat unhappy, Old Lady Wang also put on a stern face.
"In this sweltering heat, do you think I'd want to go out of my way to find someone? If it weren't for your unproductive womb, I wouldn't have had to step in. If I had known you were a barren hen, I wouldn't have let my son marry you. If the Fang family line ends in your hands, I'll never forgive you."
Xie Wanying could no longer contain herself. "Mom, what do you mean by that? You've been making me go to the hospital for checkups all these years. Is it only my problem that I can't have children? Why don't you let your son get checked out? Maybe it's him who can't have children."
Grandma Fang was anxious. "My son is a perfectly healthy man. How can he not have children? You have to drink this medicine today, whether you like it or not. Otherwise, I'll make my son divorce you. Our Fang family doesn't want a hen that won't lay eggs. If you can't even have children, are you still a woman?"
Xie Wanying's arms trembled with anger, but the old lady knew exactly how to manipulate her.
She pinched her nose with one hand, gulped down the entire bowl of dark, murky medicine in one go, and then slammed the bowl down on the table.
"Is this alright now?"
After she finished speaking, she ignored Old Lady Wang and ran to the storage room by herself.
Inside were family heirloom jewelry that Huang Meiling had taken out years ago. Some were given to her, and some were meant for her to pass on to Shu Ying. Xie Wanying kept them all for herself, including some money that Xie Wenyuan and Huang Meiling had transferred to her to give to Shu Ying.
"My parents are so biased. Shuying is an outsider. Why should we both get the same amount of money? I should have received more than her!"
Shu Ying is a wicked capitalist; she doesn't deserve to use these things. She hates Xie Zhiyan, but she hates Shu Ying even more.
They were all girls, but because Shu Ying was born into a better family, she was the only child in her family.
The Shu family's vast fortune will ultimately end up in her hands, a sum she could never spend in several lifetimes.
But that wasn't enough. After Shu Ying fell on hard times, Xie Zhiyan protected her, and she also met such a good in-law family. Both Xie Wenyuan and Huang Meiling were vying to treat her well.
For most people, the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is a problem that is difficult to solve for thousands of years, but for Shu Ying, there is no conflict at all.
"Shu Ying, why are you so lucky? Why are so many people so nice to you? You're just a capitalist's daughter, do you even deserve it?"
