Mother Xue cried out, “When your father died, you were still in my womb. I didn’t marry because I wanted the Xue family to have an heir. I endured all kinds of hardship so that you could grow up. Now that you’ve married, you haven’t given birth to a son in years. I feel so ashamed of your father. What sins have I committed that my son would give up his grandson for a dead girl? What’s the point of my life if I don’t have a grandson?”
Xue Fu could only comfort her: "Mother, Xiao Jing and I are still young, we will have children in the future, I'm not in a hurry, Mother, you have to believe me."
Why is his own mother holding him back now? He told her when he came that he wanted money and power, and that regardless of whether Fu Jing could have children, they would have a grandson later. He didn't dare to say it too explicitly, so he could only worry in his heart.
Xue's mother wouldn't listen to a word. She completely believed Liu Yumin's words, convinced that Fu Jing wouldn't be able to conceive a boy without her intervention. She kept saying she had committed a terrible sin, and then she started singing, slapping her thighs as she sang:
"Oh my god, take me away! Old man, take me away! I'm so sorry! I didn't leave any descendants for the Xue family, what a sin! Oh dear, my son is unfilial, abandoning the family line for a girl, what's the point of my life..."
Seeing his mother slapping her leg and about to sit down, Xue Fu couldn't sit still any longer. Had his mother used the same tricks she used on Fu Jing on him? These tricks were ones he had taught his mother. They weren't very lethal, but they were incredibly annoying. The effect was doubled when there were onlookers. And his mother was incredibly patient; she wouldn't stop anytime soon.
Xue Fu raised his voice and grabbed his mother's arm, trying to calm her down: "Mom, I swear to you, the next baby will definitely be a boy, and you will definitely hold your grandson."
To everyone's surprise, Fu Jing's eyes reddened. Hadn't her husband heard what the doctor said? Her next child would also be a daughter. If she couldn't give birth to a boy, would they adopt a boy from outside and pull off a "switcheroo"? Remembering the stories in the book, Fu Jing couldn't hold back anymore and burst into tears.
"I don't want to live anymore, Xue Fu, you heartless bastard! You actually want me to raise your illegitimate child. What's the point of me living? I might as well die!"
Fu Jing started making a scene, running towards the wall as if she wanted to kill herself. Fu Minghao quickly stopped her, and Tan Fuya also stopped her. Thinking about her daughter's words, she must have realized something, and she also shed tears of heartache.
For a moment, Xue's mother burst into tears, and Xue Fu tried to comfort her loudly. Fu Jing, in despair, threatened to commit suicide, and Tan Fuya tried to stop her while crying softly. The sound of her crying echoed throughout the living room.
Liu Yumin, who had only slightly exaggerated the crisis: ...
Finally, Xue Fu lost his patience and said loudly, "Mother, I agree. I'll give the little girl away in exchange for a grandson."
Xue's mother immediately stopped crying, but Fu Jing continued to make a scene. Xue Fu was on the verge of collapse and raised his voice: "Fu Jing, what are you still doing? I've already agreed."
Fu Jing's choked accusation: "You have an illegitimate child outside!"
Xue Fu: ...Heaven and earth bear witness, he only thought about it for a moment, and the flame was extinguished before it could even rise. How could there be an illegitimate child?
Fu Minghao asked with a stern face, "When did this happen?"
Fu Jing was marrying down, and although her dowry wasn't extravagant, it was still top-tier for a family of the Xue class. If Xue Fu dared to act recklessly, he would completely disregard the Fu family. Besides, in today's society, having extramarital affairs can have serious consequences and lead to execution.
Xue Fuzhi cried out, "Dad, I absolutely do not have an illegitimate child. I have not wronged Xiaojing."
Fu Jing pointed at Xue Fu and raged: "The doctor said I won't be able to conceive a boy if I don't take care of my body. You disagree with taking care of your body and even said that the next child will definitely be a boy. You have a lover outside. After she gives birth to a boy, you will switch with her. Xue Fu, you are bullying me too much!"
The sight of the elderly man on the subway looking at his phone caused a moment of deafening silence.
Fu Minghao was speechless. What kind of nonsense did his daughter usually watch? She made up stories out of thin air.
Fu Jing continued, "I can't give birth to a son, I'm a sinner! I have no face to live! If you bring that woman home, I'm willing to accept her as a concubine, but she can only live here as a maid, and my son will still call me Mom."
Xue Fu: ...It's over. He's driven Fu Jing crazy. He shouldn't have brainwashed her into believing that her inability to have a son was a grave sin that would cut off the Xue family's lineage and that she should atone for it by working like a slave in the Xue family. Fu Jing has lost her mind.
Fu Minghao's face darkened. He sent her to school to learn manners, and this is all she learned? This daughter is ruined. He should have bound her feet back then and kept her at home; it would have been better than this.
Xue Fu immediately explained, "Dad, don't be angry. Xiao Jing is obsessed because she's been laughed at by the people around her for not having a son. As long as the doctor takes good care of her, she'll give birth to a boy."
Fu Minghao could only swallow his anger and said irritably, "Hurry up and try to have a boy. If you can't have one, just get a divorce. My Fu family can easily support a daughter."
Xue Fu knew he had crossed his father-in-law's line, so he didn't dare to cause any trouble and quickly agreed.
Liu Yumin immediately asked Sister Xu to bring out paper and pen: "Xue Fu, quickly write the adoption statement. I need to get treatment as soon as possible. After this matter is settled, I have other things to do."
Under the watchful eyes of his mother and wife, Xue Fu reluctantly wrote the statement, realizing he had suffered a huge loss and gained nothing.
Ignoring their dawdling, Liu Yumin called the two men over so she could take their pulses. Only then did Xue Fu realize, "You didn't even take our pulses at the beginning, how could you be sure that Xiao Jing and I can't have a boy?"
Liu Yumin sneered: "Doubt my medical skills? In traditional Chinese medicine, observation, listening, questioning and palpation are the four diagnostic methods. Observation is the first step. I have been practicing medicine for many years. If I can't even see this, I might as well be blind. Taking the pulse is to confirm it again. If you don't believe me, I will take your pulse and you can go to the hospital for a checkup. If the results are different, I will ruin your reputation."
Xue's mother immediately scolded Xue Fu: "Shut up, listen to the doctor."
Capable people often have big tempers. This doctor looks like the kind of miracle doctor. What if you don't give birth to a boy because you're disrespectful to a miracle doctor?
Xue Fu was extremely frustrated. You've only known her for a short time, yet you trust her so much. You can't embarrass your mother, but you're still thinking about how to get something for yourself. I feel like I've lost out big time.
Watching the Xue family being manipulated by their grandmother, Mo Wenqi was filled with admiration. Was this what aura was?
However, after taking her pulse, Liu Yumin's expression became unusually grave. Xue Fu's family couldn't help but wonder if she had a terminal illness, which was causing the miracle doctor such a dilemma. They felt uneasy.
Liu Yumin said, "I will prescribe you fifteen days' worth of medicine first. Please prepare it exactly as I instructed, without any deviation. Come back in fifteen days and I will change the medicine for you."
Xue Fu asked in confusion, "Isn't it supposed to be about conditioning the body? And what about acupuncture?"
He still suspected that the doctor was a plant hired by the Fu family to arrange for the child to be adopted.
