"No, I just had my period and had a terrible stomachache. I don't know if it was because I washed clothes with cold water in the winter when I was a kid that hurt me, and that's why I'm like this now."

Wu Cuizhi couldn't help feeling upset. She thought that her physical foundation must have been damaged since childhood, which was why she was so weak and couldn't have children.

Her elder sister-in-law, Zhao Qingqing, has always been full of energy and she has never been uncomfortable in her daily life, so she was able to have two children for three consecutive years.

"Second cousin, you don't have to feel bad. The unbearable abdominal pain during menstruation is also an illness. It's just an illness and you can recover. Once you recover, there will be no problem."

"If you don't mind, I'll take your pulse. I know a little bit about gynecology."

Yu Suihuan used to study Traditional Chinese Medicine, and now when he sees someone suffering from illness, he can't help but feel itchy to try.

"My third sister-in-law can also treat illnesses?"

Wu Cuizhi didn't expect that her sister-in-law not only cooked delicious food, but could also treat illnesses!

Generally speaking, most doctors are men, and there are very few female doctors. I heard that only wealthy families or officials have female doctors who specialize in treating family members.

"I learned a little from the nanny at home, but she can only treat minor illnesses and pains for women, not serious illnesses."

She was mistakenly taken away by a wealthy family. Although no one else in the village knew about it, her own family knew about it.

"Thank you so much, Third Sister-in-law."

Wu Cuizhi hurriedly sat down and put her hand on the table.

Yu Suihuan sat next to him, put his hand on his pulse and started taking it.

Her condition was not very serious. She just had a weak physical condition due to frequent washing of clothes in cold water in winter and malnutrition.

Seeing that her third sister-in-law didn't say anything, Wu Cuizhi thought her condition was very serious and asked with some concern.

"Third sister-in-law, is my condition serious? Will I still be able to have children in the future?"

"It's not serious. I just ate poorly since I was a child. I've been malnourished for a long time. Plus, I didn't take good care of my body, which led to some uterine coldness. I'll be fine after taking some medicine."

"You don't have any serious health problems. Having a baby is just a matter of time. Don't worry too much. The more you worry, the more counterproductive it will be. Relax and take it easy. Maybe the baby will come on its own."

"Really? As long as I take good care of myself, I can have a baby!"

Wu Cuizhi breathed a sigh of relief. This was really great news!

"Of course you can. Put safflower, red dates, brown sugar, wolfberry, dried ginger, and motherwort together, add water and boil for a quarter of an hour, and drink a big bowl of it every day."

"Every time you have sex in the future, fill a water bag with water and place it on your abdomen for warm compress. Do this for a period of time, and the symptoms of uterine cold will gradually improve. As for giving birth, don't be anxious, just let nature take its course."

"Thank you, Third Sister-in-law. I will ask your second cousin to go to the barefoot doctor in the village to get me some medicine."

Wu Cuizhi wished she could drink a big bowl of medicine right now so that she could have a baby as soon as possible.

"There are plenty of safflower and wolfberry at the foot of the mountain. You can pick some and dry them. You can use red dates and brown sugar if you have them at home. Only motherwort and dried ginger need to be bought from the doctor."

"A few days ago, I went to the mountains to pick some wolfberries and safflower. They have been dried. I'll bring some back later. Second cousin, you can drink it first."

Yu Suihuan's original purpose of learning Chinese medicine was to cure diseases and save lives. She thinks that relieving pain and restoring health is a very happy thing and a very respected thing.

"Thank you so much, Third Sister-in-law. I don't know what to say."

Wu Cuizhi was so moved that she was a little incoherent. She had wanted to go to the town or county to see a doctor before.

But that would cost a lot of money, which was not something their family could afford, so they never mentioned it. Unexpectedly, my third brother's wife is a female doctor. God bless her.

In ancient times, offspring were a very important thing. If a woman from a poor family could not give birth to a child, she would most likely be divorced in the end.

There are three types of unfilial behavior, and the worst of them is to have no descendants. This was no joke in this feudal era.

Yu Suihuan returned home and took some dried wolfberries and safflower. After thinking for a while, he took out a bag of brown sugar, a bag of red dates, and a bag of dried ginger from the space.

Anyway, these are all picked up for free, there are plenty in the space. If you can help your family, please help.

She also wants to start a business of making steamed buns and dumplings from leavened dough in a while. These jobs can only be done by close female relatives, which means they can only be done by family members such as cousins.

When Wu Cuizhi saw Yu Suihuan bringing so many things over, she firmly refused to accept the dates, brown sugar, and dried ginger. These were all expensive things, and one bag cost a lot of money.

"Second cousin, please don't be so formal with me. Take it and eat it first. When your eldest cousin comes back, tell him that I want to build a table. I want a foldable one. It would be better if it is bigger. The length and width should be four or five feet."

After saying that, Yu Suihuan put down his things and left. If he didn’t go back, the mutton soup would get cold.

Wu Cuizhi was so moved that she almost cried when she saw those big bags.

As soon as Li Chengye got home, he saw his wife standing blankly at the door with tears in her eyes and a few packages in her hands.

"Cuizhi, didn't you say this morning that you felt uncomfortable in your stomach? Why don't you lie down on the bed and rest for a while? What is this thing you are holding?"

"Boss, this is the brown sugar, red dates, dried ginger, wolfberry, and safflower given to me by my third sister-in-law. She just came to bring us some mutton soup."

"She saw that I looked unhappy, so she took my pulse. You didn't know that she could actually treat illnesses. She gave me a prescription and said that as long as I took it according to the prescription, it would be only a matter of time before I had a child."

Both husband and wife were concerned about the issue of having children. Li Chengye was surprised to hear that his third brother's wife was actually a female doctor.

"Did my third sister-in-law really say that? Do you need any medicine? I'll buy it for you right now."

"My third brother's wife said that we are still missing one herb, Motherwort. The barefoot doctor in the village should have it."

"I'll go buy the medicine now, and you can make a bowl of it tonight."

Li Chengye threw down his straw hat and ran hurriedly towards the barefoot doctor's house in the village without even bothering to wash his face.

Zhao Qingqing also knew that her second sister-in-law's biggest concern was the issue of having children. Now that there was hope, she was happy for her.

"Second sister-in-law heard that this mutton soup is the most nutritious. Third sister-in-law brought so much, you should drink more."

"Sister-in-law, please save this soup for Dad, Tiedan, and Xiaohua."

Both Zhao Qingqing and Wu Cuizhi are not the type of people who are overly aggressive. They don't have any conflicts and get along pretty well.

"By the way, big brother, just now my third sister-in-law said that she wants you to make her a folding table. It would be best if it is bigger, about four or five feet long and wide."

"We will pay for the table later. My third sister-in-law treated my illness and gave me so many medicines."

"Why pay? We are still one family. The favor of Third Sister-in-law for treating you will naturally be repaid by our family. You don't have to worry about it. Just take the medicine and take good care of your health. Give Second Brother a big fat boy next year."
