Chapter 201 Hope
Over the past month or two.
Through Xu Sui's connections, Xiao Fen and Qin Min, a married couple, found Old Mrs. Xu.
The good news is that the old lady can cure Qin Min's illness. The bad news is that the medicine alone costs five or six yuan a month, and the medicine cannot be stopped; it must be taken every day until Qin Min can get pregnant.
Of course, the one with the problem is Qin Min, so naturally he is the one who needs to take the medicine.
At first, he was incredibly excited when he heard that it could be cured.
However, when people hear that he is the one taking the medicine, and that the medicine smells very strong and lingers on his body after taking it, they can immediately guess that he has a problem in that area without much guesswork.
Qin Min hesitated.
Xiao Fen glanced at the man and knew what he was hesitating about, so she couldn't help but slap him on the butt.
"I'm telling you, you have to eat whether you want to or not. You don't want a child, but I do."
"Don't be ashamed. You've already lost all face, what face do you have left to lose?"
"A grown man dawdling like that."
Qin Min hurriedly covered his burning buttocks and took several steps back, as if he had been chased by something dirty. He glared fiercely at the woman beside him.
"What are you doing? I'm telling you, we're outside, so don't do anything reckless."
"What kind of woman is you? You don't give your man any face in public at all. Are you even a woman?"
Xiao Fen wasn't afraid of him now. She put her hands on her hips, raised her chin, puffed out her full chest, and snorted coldly.
"Don't you know best whether I'm a woman or not?"
They've been husband and wife for so many years, and they've been in bed together countless times. He's touched and rubbed every inch of her body.
In the end, they even dared to say she wasn't a woman.
Very well, if you're so capable, then don't beg her for it in bed anymore.
Qin Min's eyes widened in shock; he was completely taken aback.
His face turned red and then black. He quickly looked around, and thankfully no one was nearby. He rushed forward, blocking Xiao Fen's deliberately protruding chest, and pleaded through gritted teeth in a low voice:
"Ancestors, my dear ancestors, this is on the street outside, it's still daylight."
"I'm begging you, please have some mercy and don't do anything reckless, okay?"
Anyone who didn't know better would think they had some kind of inappropriate relationship, looking for thrills in broad daylight on the street.
They're a perfectly legitimate married couple, but with her actions, anyone who sees this is bound to misunderstand.
Xiao Fen still raised her chin and glanced at him sideways, "So, are you going to take your medicine or not?"
"...I'll eat, I'll eat." Qin Min was scared. Anyway, the news that he couldn't have children had already spread everywhere, so taking medicine wouldn't make a difference.
At worst... at worst, if someone asks, he can just say he's not feeling well, and that should be enough to fool them.
But if Xiao Fen were to pull another stunt like that in the street, he would lose not only face, but also his dignity.
Xiao Fen was finally satisfied. She breathed a sigh of relief and glared at the man. "Why didn't you say so earlier? Why did you have to make such a fuss?"
Qin Min: "..."
Good heavens, who is causing this trouble?
How could he have been so blind? Of all the people he could have chosen, he ended up with such a wicked woman who twists the truth.
From then on, the medicine pot on the Qin family's stove never stopped running, and the bitter smell of medicine filled the air all day long. Qin Min drank it every day until he almost vomited, and in less than a month, he lost a lot of weight.
Xu Sui was pregnant and couldn't stand the smell of medicine. Besides, she was only a few days away from giving birth, so she decided to stay at the hospital first.
These days, most hospitals have several people crammed into one ward, even for childbirth. Once you're in the hospital, there's no privacy.
Fortunately, Mrs. Xu was a doctor with a nominal position at the county hospital. Although she didn't usually go to the hospital to see patients, she was still able to find connections to arrange a private ward for her.
After the ward was arranged that day, Qin Yunzhou took Xu Sui to the county hospital, and Du Mei and Xiao Fen also went to help take care of Xu Sui.
On the first day of checking into the hospital, you'll need to bring a lot of things. You'll definitely need to bring toiletries such as handkerchiefs and towels, as well as small blankets and clothes for the child.
One person can't handle it all.
Xu Sui didn't feel like giving birth yet, and since the county hospital wasn't far, they walked there.
On the road.
Qin Yunzhou helped Xu Sui walk forward, Du Mei followed with toiletries, and Xiao Fen carried some clothes for the baby. She couldn't take her eyes off Xu Sui's belly and couldn't help but speak with envy.
"Sui Sui, you two are so lucky. You got pregnant not long after you got married."
"Unlike your older brother and me, we've been married for so many years and we still don't know what it's like to be pregnant."
In the past, she thought that it was because she couldn't have children that she was holding back the men in her family, and she felt guilty about it for a long time. She always felt that she had let Qin Min down, and it seemed that everyone, whether at home or outside, thought the same way she did.
They believe that if a woman cannot have children, it is her fault.
Fortunately, Qin Min's slap woke her up.
She went to the hospital for a checkup, which proved her innocence and turned all the grievances she had suffered over the years into a joke.
However, she has now figured it out.
Don't always make things difficult for yourself. It's not scary if others make things difficult for you, you can fight back. But what's scary is when you make things difficult for yourself.
Don't say that Qin Min is the one who can't have children. Even if she were the one who couldn't have children, it wouldn't be a big deal. Not having children won't kill you.
At worst, we can just get a divorce.
Xu Sui smiled and said, "I've noticed that my older brother has been taking medicine lately, so maybe you two will have good news soon too."
To prepare for having a child, Qin Min takes medicine almost three times a day. Even when he's not taking it, you can smell the medicine on him from a distance.
She had asked her grandmother, and she learned that in Qin Min's case, taking the medicine properly could still help Xiao Fen get pregnant. As for when it would be effective, it would depend on the timing.
Xiao Fen subconsciously touched her flat stomach, sighed, and said, "I hope so."
I hope I can really get pregnant.
After so many years of marriage, her biggest wish is to have a child of her own, whether it's a boy or a girl, as long as it's her own flesh and blood.
However, she was reluctant to divorce Qin Min and have a child with another man.
Although the Qin family was poor, they treated their daughter-in-law quite well. Besides, she was waiting to take over her mother-in-law's job. If they really got divorced, where would she find a husband's family like that?
After arriving at the hospital.
Xu Sui was admitted to a hospital ward.
Xiao Fen talked with her for a while, put her things down, and then went back. Du Mei helped take care of Xu Sui during the day, and she would go back at night.
Qin Yunzhou slept in this ward, just like Xu Sui used to take care of him when he was seriously injured in the military hospital. He also set up a small bed and stayed by her side day and night.
