Female-dominated society: My husband is clingy and I can't shake him off

When Shen Ziche arrived at the front yard, he saw Qian Duoduo looking for medicinal herbs for Yunzhi.

He walked over and patted Qian Duoduo on the shoulder, "Go keep Jingmo company."

Qian Duoduo looked at the large handful of astragalus she was still holding in her hand, then turned to look at Yunzhi, who was looking at the prescription, and frowned.

"I still have to..."

Seeing Qian Duoduo's hesitant expression, Shen Ziche took the astragalus root from her hand and said, "Let me help Yunzhi."

With that, Shen Ziche pushed Qian Duoduo away.

At this moment, Su Yanli also arrived. He handed a bowl of medicine to Qian Duoduo, asking her to feed it to Wang Jingmo.

Qian Duoduo looked at the medicine in her hand, then at Shen Ziche and Su Yanli, who immediately began to work.

Something is wrong, 12 out of 10 things are wrong.

She shook her head and carried the bowl to find Wang Jingmo. Why did they all want her to take care of Wang Jingmo?

When she pushed open the door, she saw Wang Jingmo, who was forcing his eyes open, his eyes still dark and swollen.

Why am I still not getting enough rest?

She helped Wang Jingmo up and said, "Drink your medicine."

Wang Jingmo felt weak all over and could only lean against Qian Duoduo's chest.

After Qian Duoduo fed Wang Jingmo the medicine, she coaxed him to sleep.

He had just fallen asleep when Qian Duoduo was about to go to the front to help, but Shen Ziche and the others sent her back.

They said there were enough people ahead of her, and she just needed to take good care of Wang Jingmo.

"Don't worry, Jingmo is already asleep."

Shen Ziche's tone was somewhat forceful, "No, Jingmo can't sleep peacefully at all right now."

Qian Duoduo was puzzled. Didn't that medicine contain sedative ingredients? Why was she still unable to sleep soundly?

"Is Jingmo really that sick?"

Upon hearing Qian Duoduo's words, Yunzhi couldn't help but retort, "My sister might..."

Before Yunzhi could finish speaking, Su Yanli hurriedly covered his mouth.

If Yunzhi hadn't asked him last night whether the baby in Jingmo's belly was a boy or a girl, he wouldn't have known that Yunzhi already knew about it.

Although I repeatedly reminded him before he left home today, Yunzhi almost let it slip.

Shen Ziche and Su Yanli both became tense. Qian Duoduo sensed something was wrong and tried to get some information from Yunzhi.

But Shen Ziche blocked her way, saying, "Yunzhi means that Niannian might need help right now, and I'll go help her now."

Despite saying that, Shen Ziche didn't move; he was waiting for Qian Duoduo to leave.

Shen Ziche finally breathed a sigh of relief when Qian Duoduo left with a lot of doubt.

Su Yanli squatted down and said to Yunzhi, "You can't tell your mother about this, understand?"

Yunzhi didn't understand why he couldn't tell Qian Duoduo; he felt that his mother would be happier if he had a new younger brother or sister.

He saw that every man who was pregnant here made his wife very happy.

He was just saying that if it were a younger sister, Father Jingmo would have a harder time because he would need more nutrition.

Su Yanli knew that if she didn't explain things clearly to Yunzhi, he wouldn't think it was a bad thing; he might even want to share the money with Qian Duoduo.

Su Yanli said to Yunzhi earnestly, "Yunzhi, if Mother knew that Father Jingmo was pregnant, she would be unhappy."

"But they know..."

Yunzhi pointed her little finger at the crowd, about to argue, but was stopped by Su Yanli.

"Because Jingmo's father is not in good health, he had a hard time during his pregnancy, and his mother was worried that he would not keep the baby."

Yunzhi tried hard to understand the sentence, and the conclusion he came to was: if his mother knew about this, the baby would be gone.

He still hoped to have younger siblings, which startled him so much that he quickly covered his mouth and shook his head repeatedly.

Shen Ziche and Su Yanli exchanged a glance, then tacitly looked away.

Qian Duoduo was sent back, and she returned to Wang Jingmo's room.

As soon as I pushed open the door, I heard soft murmurs coming from inside.

Qian Duoduo rushed over, grabbed Wang Jingmo's hand, and kept comforting him.

He whispered something, but Qian Duoduo couldn't hear him clearly, so she could only lean down.

"No, Duoduo, please, let them stay!"

His voice was choked with sobs, as if filled with despair.

Qian Duoduo couldn't understand why, in Wang Jingmo's dream, she seemed to have done something utterly heinous.

All she could do was pat his shoulder and softly say, "Stay, stay."

Perhaps it was the comforting sound of Qian Duoduo's voice, or perhaps it was because he heard Qian Duoduo's permission, but Wang Jingmo gradually calmed down.

Qian Duoduo looked at Wang Jingmo, whose nose was already covered in sweat. She thought that when Wang Jingmo woke up, she would definitely ask him what dream he had that made him so scared.
