Sir Song, do you want to pledge yourself to me?

At the gate of the Ji family courtyard, there was a short figure sitting. He was holding dried sweet potatoes in his hand and chewing them with relish, and his hands were inadvertently covered with saliva.

"Yindou'er, Yindou'er, you're back!"

Jindouer hadn't seen his brother for several days, and he was so excited to see his brother again. He threw away the pheasant in his arms, rushed forward, hugged Yindouer, and kept calling out to him.

Yindouer was happy to see that her brother was also happy, and she giggled and handed the dried sweet potatoes covered with saliva to Jindouer.

"Brother, you spit!"

"Eat the silver beans, eat the silver beans, but brother won't eat them."

Everyone in the family has become accustomed to the friendship between the two children and lets them make as much noise as they want.

Several people entered the yard one after another.

Several people who were chatting in the main hall came out one after another upon hearing the noise. Just now, Zhou's sister-in-law had just returned from sending Yindouer off, and Ji's mother and the others were warmly inviting her to have breakfast.

After they greeted each other, Ji's mother arranged for someone to go into the kitchen and serve the food on the table.

"Hurry up and wash up, we're waiting for your dinner." Ji's mother left the three siblings and pulled Zhou's sister-in-law into the house.

The breakfast ended with the warm hospitality of Ji's mother and the gratitude of the sister-in-law.

When her eldest sister-in-law lived in her parents' family, she was often neglected and suffered many grievances due to her parents' preference for sons over daughters. This shaped her submissive, hardworking, obedient, and reserved personality. Ji's mother's warmth towards the Zhou family was partly out of consideration for her feelings. It was also because she was a sensible person, and since her marriage into the Zhou family, the family's attitude towards her had noticeably improved.

After cleaning up after dinner, the men went out to work in the fields, while the women stayed at home to entertain guests and chat.

Mrs. Zhou shared with everyone the interesting things that happened to Yin Douer during her stay at her house these days.

Ji Nuan took the opportunity to take her pulse. Before the apocalypse, she was the heir of a family of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners, possessing exceptional medical skills. Now, she had supernatural powers, which would be a shame if she didn't utilize them. Why not take this opportunity to briefly reveal her medical skills?

"Sister-in-law, I once learned some medical skills from Dr. Du in the village. How about letting me try to examine you?"

Ji's mother hurriedly stopped him, saying, "It's not that easy to see a doctor. If I make a mistake in seeing you, it will only delay the treatment."

Ji's mother also warned Zhou's sister-in-law not to pin all her hopes on Ji Nuan alone, and not to blame Ji Nuan if the results were not satisfactory.

"Don't worry, aunt. It's okay even if he's wrong. To be honest, I've been to the medical clinic in the city several times, and they all said it was okay. Maybe the time hasn't come yet." Zhou's sister-in-law said it frankly, and there was no worry on her round face as she had heard.

She rolled up her sleeves and extended her wrist towards Ji Nuan.

Ji Nuan stretched out two fingers and took his pulse. There was indeed nothing wrong.

"Sister-in-law is indeed fine." Ji Nuan looked at Zhou's sister-in-law and said, "If it has nothing to do with the timing, have you ever thought that maybe there is something wrong with Zhou's eldest brother's health?"

"Nuannuan, don't talk nonsense!" Ji's mother looked at Ji Nuan anxiously, fearing her words would cause unnecessary trouble. After all, according to the older generation, childlessness was often blamed on the woman. And now that Ji Nuan had mentioned the man, there might also be problems. If this news got out, how would she, a woman, survive? And the Zhou family boy would also lose face.

"Mom, don't worry. We are all family here, we won't tell anyone." After saying this, the second sister-in-law looked at the eldest sister-in-law and Zhou's sister-in-law.

Zhou's sister-in-law also expressed her opinion: "Aunt, I think Nuannuan is right. Having a child is a matter for two people. Nuannuan and the doctor both said that there is nothing wrong with my body, so maybe the problem really lies with my son Shitou."

"Nuannuan, I'll go back and call your brother Shitou over so you can take a look at him. Let's not tell him yet, maybe there's something wrong with his health, okay?" Zhou's sister-in-law wanted a child, but also wanted to maintain her husband's face.

"What's wrong with that? Sister-in-law, just go and call him. Just think of a reason yourself." Since Ji Nuan could take good care of them, she would have a reason to treat many people.
