Dressed as a little fool: marry and have children

Xu Damao held the medicine package carefully, as if it were a fragile treasure. His steps were light, as if he was dancing an elegant dance, afraid to disturb the tranquility in the house. When he opened the bedroom door, his eyes were immediately attracted by Lou Xiao'e on the bed.

Lou Xiao'e was lying on her side on the bed, holding a yellowed novel in her hands, her expression was so focused that it seemed as if the whole world was just her and the book in her hands. Her long hair was casually scattered on the pillow, like a peaceful painting, adding a touch of softness to the whole room.

Xu Damao walked gently to the bedside and placed the medicine bag on the wooden table. He cleared his throat and called softly, "Ezi, pour me some water. I have something to tell you."

Lou Xiao'e raised her head slightly, a hint of reluctance flashing in her eyes. She glanced at the book in her hand, as if she was immersed in the plot, but she didn't want to offend Xu Damao. She sighed lightly, put down the book, slowly stood up, and walked to the table. Her movements were a little stiff, and seemed to carry a hint of dissatisfaction and indifference.

"Drink it." Lou Xiao'e handed the cup to Xu Damao with a hint of indifference in her tone. Her eyes did not stay on Xu Damao, but turned to the window, as if she was avoiding something.

Xu Damao took the cup of water, and his excitement had disappeared. He drank the water in the cup in one breath, making a gulp sound in his throat. After drinking the water, he gently pulled Lou Xiao'e's sleeve and motioned her to sit down.

Although Lou Xiao'e was somewhat reluctant, she still sat down on the bed obediently. Her movements seemed a bit stiff, and her face didn't show much expression.

Xu Damao looked at her with an ugly look in his eyes, then he adjusted his expression and asked softly, "Ezi, I secretly went to find Sha Zhu and got the prescription for his wife from him, and I have already prepared the medicine."

He spoke softly, as if he was afraid of disturbing something. After he finished speaking, he pointed to the Chinese medicine package on the table. Lou Xiao'e was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at the Chinese medicine. A complex emotion flashed in her eyes, some surprise, and some disbelief.

Xu Damao sat at the table, the medicine bag in his hand had been put aside. He looked at Lou Xiao'e quietly, waiting for her response, as if hoping that she could give a positive answer immediately.

However, Lou Xiao'e remained silent. Her eyes were complex and deep, as if she was thinking about something important. Her fingers were rubbing unconsciously, showing her inner struggle.

Looking at the medicine package on the table, Lou Xiao'e felt mixed emotions. If she drank the medicine, wouldn't it be like admitting that she had a problem? This thought made her feel a little unhappy.

She didn't want to be bound by such a label, and didn't want to be talked about by others. However, she knew that she was already married to Xu Damao, and if she wanted to continue living with him, then having a child was something she had to go through.

After struggling, Lou Xiao'e finally spoke. Her voice was trembling: "Da Mao, I..." She paused, as if looking for the right words to express her thoughts, "Although I know you are doing this for my own good, but...but I don't want to drink this medicine."

Xu Damao couldn't help feeling disappointed when he heard Lou Xiao'e's words, but he didn't show it. Instead, he looked at her tenderly, trying to understand her thoughts.

He said softly, "Ezi, I know what you are worried about. Don't worry, I will spread the news that my stomach has not been feeling well recently. You can drink in the room and no one will know that it was you who drank."

Hearing Xu Damao's words, Lou Xiao'e's dissatisfaction eased a little. She raised her head, looked into Xu Damao's eyes, then nodded and said softly, "Well, I understand."

When Xu Damao saw Lou Xiao'e's reaction, he felt relieved. As long as Lou Xiao'e agreed, his plan would be foolproof.

However, Lou Xiao'e did not completely let go of her worries. She looked at the medicine bag on the table, was silent for a while, and continued: "I'm telling you, if we still don't have a child after taking this medicine, don't buy medicine for me on your own initiative in the future. It only means that your Xu family is destined to be childless."

After saying this, Lou Xiao'e got up and walked towards the bed, continuing to read her book. Although her voice was soft, it revealed a firmness and determination.

Xu Damao's face darkened instantly after hearing Lou Xiao'e's words. His eyes narrowed slightly, and a barely perceptible sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth. However, he quickly concealed his emotions and regained his composure. He knew that the most important thing now was to prepare this medicine for Lou Xiao'e.

Xu Damao picked up the medicine bag, carefully selected a suitable clay pot, and began to boil the herbs. He carefully controlled the heat, fearing that the herbs would burn if he was not careful. At the same time, he also had to prepare meals for Lou Xiaoe.

Finally, when the food and medicine were ready, Xu Damao brought the food to the table and called softly, "Ezi, get up and eat, and read later."

Lou Xiao'e heard the call, put down the book in her hand, stood up and walked to the table. She looked at the food in front of her and frowned slightly. Ever since she tasted He Yuzhu's cooking that day, she began to be picky about Xu Damao's food.

"Da Mao, please put less salt next time. The dish is too salty." Lou Xiao'e picked up a mouthful of pickled cabbage with chopsticks and said dissatisfiedly.

Xu Damao looked at Lou Xiao'e's disgusted expression, but he didn't get angry. Instead, he patiently replied, "Well, I'll put less salt next time. You should eat more, otherwise it will be bad for your health if you take the medicine later."

After saying that, Xu Damao thought that Lou Xiao'e would have to take medicine soon, so he didn't pay attention to her pickyness and lowered his head to continue eating.

Lou Xiao'e felt a little proud when she saw Xu Damao obeying her every word. However, when she thought of the husbands of her other sisters, she felt a little unbalanced.

Recalling the days when she first met Xu Damao, she was indeed attracted to him. But since they really started living together, the gap between her and her sisters made her gradually lose patience with Xu Damao and began to boss him around.

Xu Damao had actually noticed the change in Lou Xiaoe's attitude a long time ago. He knew that if he had not cared about Lou's father's status and wealth, he might have chosen to divorce and marry someone else.

After the meal, Lou Xiao'e sat at the table, holding the bowl of Chinese medicine in her hand. Xu Damao stood by, smiling, and accompanied her carefully. He knew it was not easy to get Lou Xiao'e to drink the medicine, so he began to cede land and pay compensation, and flatter her in various ways, hoping to make her happy.

Lou Xiao'e looked at Xu Damao's considerate and gentle look and felt very satisfied, so she slowly raised the bowl in her hand and drank the medicine in one breath.
