A farmer has a shrewish wife; he's busy making money every day.

Lu Meng was already annoyed because he couldn't find anything to eat when he went up the mountain today. When he got home, he found that his neighbors had blocked his doorway, which made him even angrier.

Upon entering, the first thing they saw was Li You's guilty gaze and Ye Qingxue, who was lying on the bed covered in sweat.

"What have you done to your daughter-in-law, you woman!"

Lu Meng rushed forward and helped Ye Qingxue up.

Ouch! That hurts! Lu Meng's grip is really strong.

In an instant, Ye Qingxue's face broke out in even more cold sweat.

"My stomach... feels a little uncomfortable," Ye Qingxue said weakly with her eyes closed.

Lu Meng was a little anxious: "Ah... this stomach can't be in trouble..."

Li You stood to the side, not daring to speak. Lu Meng glared at her fiercely: "Go and call the doctor!"

"My lord, is it necessary? A doctor's visit costs a lot of food."

Lu Meng sighed impatiently, "You long-haired, short-witted woman, stop talking nonsense and get going!"

Li You ran away immediately.

There was a bunch of neighbors eavesdropping outside the door. Lu Meng frowned deeply, walked out the door, and waved his hand.

"What are you doing! What's so interesting! If you keep watching, don't come to the hunting trip the day after tomorrow!"

Lu Meng is the village chief, and everyone has to listen to him when the group goes up the mountain for activities.

Upon hearing this, the neighbors all fled in droves, but what they would talk about afterward is anyone's guess.

Ye Qingxue lay in Lin Zhi's arms and smiled secretly.

He opened one eye and handed the meat skewers in his hand to Lin Zhi: "Mom, hurry up and eat with Dad while they're hot. Hao'er is still young, he'll have porridge later, okay?"

Lin Zhi was feeling sorry for her daughter with red eyes when a hot skewer of meat was stuffed into her mouth.

She stared at her, then asked in a low voice, "Xiaoxue, are you alright?"

Ye Jing also came over to take a look.

Ye Qingxue glanced at Lu Meng, who was shooing people away by the door, and said to her parents, "I'm fine. I was just pretending. Eat it while it's hot, it won't taste good when it gets cold."

Lin Zhi and Ye Jing both had meat skewers stuffed into their mouths.

Mmm! It smells good!

After a while, Li You brought the doctor over.

"Sister-in-law Li, I'm treating Ye's second daughter right now, why are you in such a hurry?"

"Dr. Li, our daughter-in-law is the most important thing. The whole family is very worried about her."

Li You looked worried and glanced towards the bedside.

?

No? How did the Ye couple end up eating together?

Aren't you worried about your daughter?!

The two people's words reached Ye Qingxue's ears.

She wondered to herself: Is Ye Hua'er sick?

However, without any clues, Physician Li had already placed his hand on her pulse.

Ye Qingxue held her breath and controlled her pulse.

Doctor Li's brows furrowed deeper and deeper.

Lu Meng's heart skipped a beat upon hearing this: "Doctor Li, how is it?"

Doctor Li withdrew his hand and shook his head: "The fright caused spasms and damaged the qi in the abdomen, which is very bad for the fetus."

Li You's eyes widened: "This! You're already frightened?"

Lu Meng asked nervously, "Is there a solution?"

Doctor Li sighed: "Injuries to the body are the most difficult to treat. You need to recuperate and get adequate nutrition, but that will only provide some relief, not a cure. If you really want a child, you'll need to..."

"What to do?"

Doctor Li glanced at Ye Qingxue secretly, then pulled Lu Meng aside: "We need to use some strong medicine."

Lu Meng understood immediately.

A potent medicine, a quick pregnancy tonic.

“The village chief knows this. After taking it, she will almost certainly get pregnant, but the mother will have a low chance of survival after giving birth.” Doctor Li’s eyes gleamed with shrewdness.

Lu Meng asked, "What if the first child is a girl?"

Physician Li cupped his hands and said, "If that person is lucky enough to survive, they can have it again."

"if……"

"If both children are daughters, then it's Ye Niangzi's problem. No matter what, she can't give birth to a son. Village Chief, do you still want to reconsider?"

Lu Meng didn't hesitate much: "Okay, one dose first, how much grain?"

Doctor Li chuckled: "One pound of pork."

"So expensive!"

"Having a son is a rare privilege."

Lu Meng gritted his teeth, thinking of the two pounds of meat left at home: "Okay!"

Doctor Li cupped his hands again and said, "Village Chief, you have truly put in so much effort for this. Your wish will surely come true."

Ye Qingxue overheard the entire plot between the two while lying in bed, and she was furious!

What a lousy doctor! The inability to have a son is the man's problem, okay?!

Does he even understand what chromosomes are?
