Because Ms. Wei and Mr. Ye said the soup was delicious.
Wei Xiaojuan then smiled and said that she would buy more for them to drink in the future.
Mrs. Wei snorted coldly, thinking that she couldn't take Wei Xiaojuan's money anyway, and it was good to be able to spend her money now, so she didn't say anything.
From then on, Wei Xiaojuan would buy medicinal soup every few days and eat it for a month.
Soon, it was August.
On the first day of the eighth lunar month, early in the morning, Madam Wei carried Kang Kang out of the room: "Kang Kang, look at the milk!"
Kang Kang was still dazed and confused, just like before.
Ye Erquan, Yinhua, and Ye Peng and his wife also came out of the room.
Mrs. Wei frowned: "Kang Kang, call me 'Grandma,' call me now!"
Kang Kang pouted and said, "Grandma..."
"Yes, yes, it's very well-behaved. What's this?" Saying this, she picked up a wooden tiger from the ground: "Quickly, tell me, it's a little tiger! A little tiger!"
Kang Kang: "Woo~~"
"It's not a 'woo,' it's a tiger, 'hoohoo!'"
"Woo~~" Kang Kang woofed twice, then sat down on the ground with a thud, grabbed another wooden puppy from the ground, and stuffed it into his mouth.
Ye Erquan rushed over and hurriedly slapped his hand away: "Don't eat!"
"Ugh... I'm so angry! So angry..."
Is he trying to say "eat"? Ye Erquan felt a pang of sadness.
Little Zhuzhu is already able to speak in long passages at the age of three, her little mouth babbling away.
But Kang Kang can't even pronounce a single word clearly. What else could this be but stupidity?
Ye Erquan looked at Madam Wei: "What about your promise of children starting to develop intelligence at three years old?"
Madam Wei felt a pang of panic and uncertainty. "Kang Kang was born on the seventeenth! It's only the first day of the eighth lunar month now, it's not time yet! He'll be intelligent when he's seventeen!"
Ye Erquan felt terrible, but what could he say now?
Ye Peng looked at Kang Kang, feeling a wave of bitterness and disbelief, his face turning extremely pale.
He suddenly remembered that when Ye Jin'er rejected him, she said that cousins had given birth to an idiot!
No, it won't happen...
How could this be...?
That was just an excuse Ye Jin'er made up to climb the social ladder, because she was a snob.
But Kang Kang slapped him hard across the face again.
Mrs. Wei said, "He will only be able to develop his intelligence on the 17th of August! I'm going to find a fortune teller right now! The fortune teller is very accurate. He said that Xiuxiu's two pregnancies will both be girls, and that Kang Kang will be a boy. He was right all along!"
After saying that, he rushed out the door.
At noon, Wei returned and said, "The fortune teller said it will take seventeen! I will gain wisdom in seventeen days!"
Ye Peng nodded and forced a smile: "Let's wait until the seventeenth to talk about it."
Ye Erquan's heart sank to the bottom, and he turned and went out the door.
Madam Wei then looked at Wei Xiaojuan: "Kang Kang is almost three years old, why is your belly so uncooperative? Hurry up and give Kang Kang a little brother!"
A flash of hatred crossed Wei Xiaojuan's eyes as she pouted and said, "Don't we want to? Husband, tell me, didn't we try?"
Ye Peng frowned and said, "Mother, please don't rush me!"
How could I not urge them?
Wei Xiaojuan: "What's the rush? I've already done enough. You have two daughters over there. I'll give you a great grandson as soon as I arrive. Isn't that enough to make you proud?"
"you--"
Long face? Look at Kang Kang now...
No! Although she firmly believed that Kang Kang would become intelligent after his birthday, she was still a little worried.
All she wants now is for her son to have many children and bring her good fortune. It's not that she, Kang Kang, is...
Anyway, it's always true that having many children brings many blessings.
......
As Ye Erquan entered Ye Daquan's house, he heard Ye Xuan reading aloud.
Mrs. Du was hanging up clothes when she turned around and said, "The second son is here."
Ye Erquan sighed, "After Xuan'er finishes his exams, is he going back to the capital?"
Madam Du nodded: "That's right, his husband is in the capital, so naturally he should go back. But the results won't be announced until September 15th. If he passes, we have to hold a banquet in the village. Why?"
Ye Erquan said, "It's nothing... I was just thinking that when Xuan'er goes to the capital, I'll take Kang Kang with me."
Du's heart skipped a beat. Seeing his dejected face, she knew it was Kang Kang's mental illness. She quickly nodded and said, "If you're going, go sooner rather than later. Why wait for Xuan'er?"
"Send a letter to your little sister now, then take a boat and set off. Your little sister will naturally arrange your food and lodging."
"Why!"
Ye Erquan nodded deeply.
But he still held a sliver of hope and wanted to wait until Kang Kang's birthday before setting off.
Soon, it was August 17th, Xiao Kang Kang's birthday.
Grandma Ye and her husband, along with Ye Daquan, came to Ye Erquan's house to celebrate with Xiao Kangkang.
But Xiao Kang Kang was still dumbfounded, and the whole "birthday enlightenment" thing was just a joke to him.
Mrs. Wei said anxiously, "Today isn't over yet! We need tomorrow! It will definitely be better tomorrow."
Grandma Ye and Grandpa Ye sighed and shook their heads.
Mrs. Wei stepped forward and hugged Kang Kang, extremely nervous, stroking his little face: "Kang Kang, make Grandma proud, be good tomorrow!"
At night, she still cuddles Kang Kang while sleeping.
But when he woke up the next morning, Kang Kang was still the same.
Mrs. Wei felt a surge of panic. Could it be that her grandson hadn't developed his intelligence yet? Why was he still like this?
Ms. Wei then went to see a fortune teller.
The fortune teller said that Kang Kang was possessed by an evil spirit and that an exorcism was needed. It would cost 8.8 taels each time.
Ms. Wei gritted her teeth and gave it to him.
The next day, a group of shamans came and started jumping around Ye Er's house.
Ye Erquan and Yinhua didn't say anything, just watched these people make a scene.
After the shamanic dance was finished, the fortune teller said, "Kang Kang will not develop his intelligence until he is five years old."
After saying that, he left.
Madam Wei's face was ashen as she looked at Ye Erquan and said, "Did you hear that? The master said it has to be five years old! Once Kang Kang is five, he'll definitely be fine!"
Ye Erquan looked exhausted and sad: "I'll take Kang Kang to Beijing the day after tomorrow."
Mrs. Wei didn't stop her or say anything more, but nodded, her voice trembling, "Go...go quickly!"
Ye Erquan sighed, picked up Kang Kang, and carried him into the room.
Madam Wei then looked at Wei Xiaojuan: "Is there no sign of pregnancy at all? Why are you so disappointing!"
Wei Xiaojuan sneered: "Yes, I don't know why I'm so useless. I remember I was very fertile, I got pregnant in the first month after I married into the family. I don't know why, but it's been a bit difficult after I gave birth to Kang Kang."
"Mother, I took the medicine back then, didn't I? It was the imperial physician from the capital who prescribed it for me. And you were the one who got the medicine for me, right?"
Just as Ms. Wei was about to retort, she suddenly remembered the situation at the time, and her heart skipped a beat.
The imperial physician said that Wei Xiaojuan needed to recuperate, otherwise it would affect her ability to conceive again.
But she felt that with the delivery going so smoothly, how could it possibly be affected?
He thought it was too expensive, so he changed Wei Xiaojuan's medicine to medicine for catching a cold!
Could it be because she changed her medication that...?
No!
Feeling guilty, Madam Wei stammered, "Yes! I've already gotten the medicine for you. It's your own fault for being incompetent and useless! Anyway, you should try harder and give me a few more great grandsons."
After saying that, he went into the room.
Wei Xiaojuan sneered. No matter what, from now on, her Kang Kang would be the only child in the family.
