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

Holding the iron hoe, Li Mo'er closed her eyes and moved forward step by step. Afraid of stepping on the herbs, she squinted her eyes and moved only after glancing at them once.

"yue~"

Inevitably, Li Mo'er still saw the worm and couldn't help but retch.

But thinking that the insect might be valuable, she gritted her teeth and swung the hoe down.

Seeing the insects wriggling as the soil was turned over, she dared not clean up the soil.

She took out the bowls and chopsticks from the food basket, put the whole bunch of herbs in, and closed the lid.

On the way down the mountain, she felt a chill run down her spine, and kept feeling the insect come to life and crawl onto her neck.

She walked quickly but steadily, her body tense the whole way to the pharmacy.

"Doctor Wang!"

Li Mo'er felt weak all over, and her voice trembled as she spoke. As soon as she entered the pharmacy, she put down her basket and refused to touch it again.

He slumped into a chair and gulped down a pot of water.

Doctor Wang wasn't worried. He observed that although Li Mo'er's face was a little pale, she was fine.

"What happened now? Did you encounter a tiger in the back mountains?"

Dr. Wang joked.

Li Mo'er waved her hand and pointed to the basket on her back, "There, there's something in there..."

"yue~"

Before she could finish speaking, the gruesome image of the insect resurfaced in Li Mo'er's mind.

She hurriedly tried to run out to vomit, but after taking only two steps toward the door, she saw the basket and went back to the backyard to vomit.

Hearing the sound, Wang Jingmo came out from the inner room. He had been waiting for a long time today; Li Mo'er usually arrived much earlier.

He saw Li Mo'er vomiting profusely in the backyard, poured her a glass of water, and wanted to help her, but then hesitated because of the proper separation between men and women.

But seeing how uncomfortable Li Mo'er looked, he couldn't bear it in the end and reached out to pat her back to make her feel better.

Dr. Wang looked utterly dismayed; it seemed she couldn't keep her son, his heart had long since been stolen away.

Curious, she walked up to Li Mo'er's basket and frowned slightly when she saw the bowl and chopsticks on it. What was she doing? Going to the back mountain to gather herbs and bringing food with her?

However, her attention was soon drawn to the herbs in the food basket.

Cordyceps sinensis!!!

Dr. Wang rubbed his eyes in disbelief and looked at it carefully again; it was indeed Cordyceps sinensis.

She carefully took out the food basket, making sure it wasn't bumped or damaged, because with it, Jingmo's illness could be cured.

She had searched for this cordyceps in the back mountain for so many years without finding it, but Li Mo'er found it after only a few visits. Perhaps she really was sent by heaven to save Jingmo.

Dr. Wang looked at the two still standing there and nodded in satisfaction; they were quite a good match.

"Mo'er, where did you dig up this cordyceps?"

As Doctor Wang admired the high-quality herbs, he casually asked a question.

Unexpectedly, Li Mo'er's reaction was even more severe; she almost vomited up her stomach acid.

When Wang Jingmo heard "Cordyceps sinensis," he was completely stunned, and his hand froze in mid-air.

He looked at his mother in confusion, blinking his eyes in disbelief.

Doctor Wang nodded slightly to him, his eyes full of smiles.

However, she could tell that Li Mo'er was nauseous from the herbs, so she carefully carried the food basket to the inner room of the pharmacy before letting Wang Jingmo help Li Mo'er back to the pharmacy to sit down.

Wang Jingmo, like a walking corpse, mechanically helped Li Mo'er sit down, still in shock.

"Mother, I..."

His lips trembled uncontrollably with excitement, and he could barely speak coherently.

He wanted to confirm with his mother again, until he saw her resolute gaze.

Li Mo'er herself looked pained, while Doctor Wang and her son were so excited they couldn't contain themselves.

To convince Wang Jingmo, Doctor Wang even took him to the inner room so he could see for himself.

Wang Jingmo stared blankly at the cordyceps in the food basket, as if he had seen a glimmer of hope.

Seeing her son so agitated, Dr. Wang decided to go outside first, remembering that there was a Li Mo'er outside who was vomiting to the point of exhaustion.

Doctor Wang prepared the medicine for Li Mo'er and personally took it to the backyard to brew it.

When she returned to the pharmacy with the medicine, she saw Li Mo'er chatting animatedly with her son.

Apart from being a little pale, there was no indication that he was unwell.

When Wang Jingmo saw his mother bring in the medicine, he quickly took it from her.

“诶，烫！”

Before Dr. Wang could finish speaking, Wang Jingmo took the food away. She watched her son being fed spoonful by spoonful to Li Mo'er, feeling an indescribable awkwardness in her heart.

Jingmo had never taken such good care of her before, although she wasn't as weak as Li Mo'er.

Although Li Mo'er felt embarrassed, she still accepted it, since she didn't have the strength to lift her arms.

She stared intently into Wang Jingmo's eyes; those bright, charming, and amorous peach blossom eyes appeared pure and lovely on his face.

Wang Jingmo, under Li Mo'er's gaze, dared not look directly into her eyes, and his cheeks beneath the veil turned slightly red.

After finishing the bowl of medicine, Li Mo'er was still a little unsatisfied, and she couldn't taste the bitterness.

Seeing Li Mo'er's expression, Dr. Wang plopped down on the stool next to her. "What? Want another bowl?"

Li Mo'er shook her head repeatedly in fright, "Every medicine has some degree of poison."

Seeing that Li Mo'er had come to her senses, Doctor Wang waved for Wang Jingmo to leave so she could discuss the marriage with Li Mo'er.

She could see that the two of them had feelings for each other, and since her son's illness could be cured, she wouldn't object to them being together.

"Mo'er, what do you think of Jingmo?" Doctor Wang asked tentatively.

Wang Jingmo, carrying a bowl, had just stepped out of the pharmacy when he heard his mother's question. Knowing he shouldn't eavesdrop, he couldn't help but stop in his tracks.

"Jingmo is great."

Before Li Mo'er could react, she blurted out, "Jingmo is indeed quite good."

"How about I let Jingmo marry you?"

Li Mo'er was taken aback, the topic suddenly shifting to "Huh?"

Li Mo'er felt that Dr. Wang might have been trying to sell her son to others, so she earnestly advised her, "Dr. Wang, I don't think this is appropriate. Jingmo, he..."

Wang Jingmo stopped listening when he heard something inappropriate, realizing that he had been deluding himself all along.

He silently took the bowl and left, his figure forlorn, the joy of having just been given life completely gone.

"You should ask Jingmo about this; what matters is what he thinks himself."

Doctor Wang looked at Li Mo'er with disappointment. Anyone could see what he was thinking, except for Li Mo'er herself.

She's so stubborn, she never knows how to be flexible, and she's so oblivious when it comes to relationships.

No, she has to bring these two together today, otherwise her son will be troubled by love.

"But that winter..."

Doctor Wang pointed to the inner room of the pharmacy, about to say that the cordyceps was something she had picked to save Jingmo.

"We don't need that one, Doctor Wang can keep it for himself."

Li Mo'er can't stand hearing about that herb at all now; just thinking about it makes her feel nauseous.

"Okay, then when I lent you the money, didn't I say..."

Dr. Wang thought she would give her one last push. She had already mentioned to Li Mo'er twice that she wanted her to marry Jing Mo. If Li Mo'er still didn't understand, she really wouldn't be able to help her.

"Oh, by the way, Dr. Wang, how much do you think this gold leaf is worth?"

When Li Mo'er heard Doctor Wang mention money, she remembered the gold leaf and quickly took it out of her pocket, wanting Doctor Wang to appraise it.

As a result, before he could even take it out, he was kicked out by Doctor Wang.

"Get lost, you blockhead!"

Dr. Wang angrily chased her out, then took the cordyceps to the backyard to process it. She swore that if she interfered in this matter again, she would be a dog.

Turning around, I saw Wang Jingmo standing in the corner, looking indifferent. When he saw Doctor Wang, he forced a smile, but it looked particularly out of place.

Doctor Wang didn't know when Wang Jingmo returned, nor how much he had overheard. Just as he was about to offer some advice, Wang Jingmo turned and left.

Looking at her son's lonely figure, she thought to herself, "So what if he's a dog? My son comes first."

Immediately afterwards, she started cursing Li Mo'er in various ways, saying that if it weren't for Li Mo'er's pig brain, she wouldn't have turned into a dog.
