The Peasant Wife: The Prime Minister's Beloved

"Xiao Xi, I have given her so many chances, but what is the result? If you want to persuade me, then I have no choice but to ask you to leave."

Facing the order to expel her, Chen Xi was not annoyed, but explained more patiently: "Auntie, to tell you the truth, your wife is fine. I just felt her pulse by the river, and she was a little tired and weak, but she didn't have any other symptoms."

When Auntie Guo heard this, her eyes widened and she stared at Chen Xi in disbelief.

"You, you mean, the problem is not with her, could it be... could it be my son..." Aunt Guo couldn't say the second half of the sentence no matter what. It was an unbearable speculation and a reality she didn't want to face.

After a long silence, Auntie Guo finally found her voice and asked in a trembling voice: "Son, you... Tianyi's wife, are you kidding? This kind of thing is not a joke. You can't just say something nonsense just because you sympathize with my daughter-in-law."

The man next to him was also shocked, his eyes fixed on Chen Xi.

"Auntie, I'm telling the truth. If you don't believe me, you can ask my master to diagnose me, or go to town and find a doctor to confirm it."

Chen Xi spoke sincerely, and the Fang Wenfu he mentioned was highly respected in the village for his superb medical skills, and he was always willing to help others without asking for compensation. Even Aunt Guo's headache and fever a few days ago were cured by him.

At this moment, Aunt Guo looked at Chen Xi, then looked at her son, and tears fell uncontrollably.

"What kind of world is this? Is our Guo family really going to face a fate of extinction?" Upon learning that the problem might be with her son, Aunt Guo's heart was filled with pain and resentment.

At this moment, the woman who had changed her clothes slowly walked into the house, and the atmosphere suddenly became more subtle.

"Mother, Ah Ping, I've figured it out. I can't let Ah Ping die without a family. Let me go. I'll ask the head of the village to write a letter of divorce. I won't be able to take care of you anymore. Please take care of yourselves, mother."

The woman's voice was firm, her eyes were resolute, and the small package on her back, though inconspicuous, seemed to carry all her hopes.

Aunt Guo stood there in a daze. The news that her son was infertile was like a bolt from the blue. She found it difficult to accept it for a while, and she was caught off guard by the woman's sudden decision.

"No, no, this won't work..." Her objection seemed powerless, and deep down in her heart, there was endless confusion and struggle.

Aunt Guo felt mixed emotions. The idea of ​​divorcing her daughter-in-law, which she had previously considered due to her infertility, became so ironic and heavy after she learned the truth.

"Sister-in-law, let me ask you, if your man is infertile, will you leave him?" Chen Xi asked softly with gentle eyes.

The woman shook her head, her expression firm. "How can that be possible? I married Ah Ping, so I am a member of Ah Ping's family. Even if Ah Ping can't have children, we can still adopt a child from a relative. A harmonious family is the most important thing."

"Did you hear that, Auntie? Where can you find such a good daughter-in-law?" Chen Xi smiled warmly, and his eyes swept over everyone present.

"Daughter-in-law, I am the one who has let you down, and it is Ah Ping who has let you down!"

Aunt Guo suddenly came to realization, and regret and self-blame surged in her heart. She hurried forward and tightly grasped the woman's hand, tears falling like beads from a broken string, and she choked with sobs.

"Mom, you..." The woman looked stunned. She obviously had not expected such a turn of events.

"Wife, I have wrongly blamed you all these years. I am the one who is infertile."

Guo Ping finally plucked up the courage and confessed everything. He lowered his head, his face full of shame and self-blame.

When the woman heard this, her whole body seemed to be frozen. The burden that had been weighing on her heart for a long time disappeared in an instant, and was replaced by shock and relief.

During those years, she endured so much misunderstanding and self-blame, and the folk remedies she took were extremely bitter, but she still couldn't get any news of a child.

It turns out that the root of everything is not her.

"Mom, Aping, you guys..." Her words were interrupted, and complex emotions were churning in her chest.

"Wife, I was wrong. As long as you are willing to stay, I promise to treat you well, and so will Aping." Guo Ping's voice was full of sincerity and expectation.

"I am willing to stay, be filial to my mother, and take care of Ah Ping."

The woman's words were firm and full of love. Tears welled up in her eyes at this moment. Even Guo Ping, who was standing by, couldn't help but wipe his eyes with his sleeve, his heart full of gratitude and guilt.

"It's all my fault. I feel like I'm the one that's going to wipe out the Guo family." Guo Ping's face was filled with pain and self-blame.

At this moment, the three people felt mixed emotions of sadness and joy, and their emotions were so complicated that they were difficult to describe.

"Actually, there may not be no solution." Chen Xi stood up slowly.

She keenly realized that Guo Ping's problem was mainly due to insufficient sperm motility, and that there was still hope for a turnaround through proper conditioning and treatment.

"Mr. Tianyi, what do you mean by this?" Aunt Guo asked expectantly.

"Really? Do I still have hope?" Guo Ping's voice trembled slightly, and his eyes flashed with an unprecedented light.

The three of them simultaneously turned their gazes to Chen Xi. Their eagerness and hope made her feel both gratified and a little embarrassed.

"It's true. I didn't lie to you. Your situation is not hopeless yet." Chen Xi reaffirmed, her tone calm and firm.

"That's great! That's great! Tianyi family, please help A Ping with his treatment. We are willing to pay any amount." Aunt Guo excitedly held Chen Xi's hand, her eyes full of gratitude.

"Okay, let's have someone pick up the prescription in the evening and go directly to the town to get the medicine." Chen Xi agreed, with a plan in mind.

"Thank you so much, Tianyi family. You are our great benefactor! Aping, go and get the silver." Aunt Guo gave the order with a happy heart.

"No need, Auntie. I'm just prescribing a prescription. When you get pregnant, just give me some red eggs." Chen Xi smiled. Red eggs symbolize joy and auspiciousness in the village.

"Okay, okay, Xiaoxi, don't worry. Once you are pregnant, our family will definitely send you a basket of red eggs." Aunt Guo agreed repeatedly, her heart full of gratitude.

"It's settled then, Auntie. I'm leaving first." Chen Xi said goodbye to everyone and turned to leave.

"Aping, you come with me and bring back the prescription. We'll hurry up and treat the patient." Aunt Guo held her daughter-in-law's hand, her heart full of emotion and love. After all these twists and turns, the relationship between the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law became even closer.

Aunt Guo is not a bad person by nature, but the ideas of the times make her seem a little impatient and helpless when facing the problem of infertility.

It is rare to be able to tolerate your daughter-in-law for many years.

At this moment, the emotions between the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law were sublimated in tears and conversations.

"Xie Tianyi, can I borrow your writing brush?" Chen Xi led Guo Ping into Xie Tianyi's room.

"What do you want to write? Let me help you." Xie Tianyi happened to be sitting at the table and asked gently.
