105 I Don’t Want to Live Anymore

Back at the Xie family yard, the four little ones were a little down due to Lady Tian and Lu Gui’s departure.

Lu Jiao smiled, “It’s okay. Grandma and uncle have things to need to do at home. I’ll bring you next time I visit.”

The First Born nodded in satisfaction, “Mommy, remember what you are promising.”

The Second and Third Born asked in excitement, “Mommy, when are you going to visit?”

The Fourth Born blinked and then stared at Lu Jiao as if he was willing her to go visit right this second.

Lu Jiao was speechless, “Your daddy’s legs aren’t healed yet. You don’t want your dad anymore?”

This silenced the four little ones and they stopped bringing up their grandma.

Lu Jiao and the children went to the east bedroom to let Xie Yunjin know about her plans, “I’m going to go to the Village Leader to tell him that I’ll start teaching everyone about herbs tomorrow. I’ll let him know about how you want to teach the children as well.”

Xie Yunjin was supportive, “Yes, go ahead.”

He was done with surgery and only needed to rest. It won’t be long before he can walk normally again.

Without realizing it, much color and s.h.i.+ne returned to his eyes. From a lackl.u.s.ter man stuck in bed, he was like a pearl that had just been wiped and cleaned and finally restored to its original beauty.

Lu Jiao couldn’t help but stare a little. She silently mumbled over his good looks and his intelligence. It was no surprise that he will one day become the First a.s.sistant.

Lu Jiao asked the four little ones, “I’m going to the Village Leader’s house. Do you want to come?”

The four little ones’ eyes lit up. However, the First Born shook his head, “I will stay home with daddy. Mommy, you can bring the others.”

Lu Jiao’s heart ached. Though this child was young, he always stayed home to take care of his father. He’s also always rejected the nice things so his brothers could have them.

He was the same age as the other three. He was simply the first to come out.

On the bed, Xie Yunjin felt the same. He lowered his head to look at the First Born, “I’ll be okay at home. You go ahead with your mother.”

The First Born stubbornly shook his head, “I’m not going. I’ll go play once daddy’s legs heal.”

Lu Jiao didn’t persist and instead, patted his head and praised him, “Our First Born is such a good brother.”

Lu Jiao’s encouragement brightened the First Born’s eyes and his lips curled up subconsciously. The words seemed to flee from his lips like music, “Mommy, you go ahead. I’ll talk with daddy.”

“Okay.”

Lu Jiao headed to the Village Leader’s place with the three children. When she walked past the Second Grandma’s house, Lady Zhao went up to her.

“Yunjin’s wife.”

Lu Jiao stopped walking, “Is something wrong?”

Lady Zhao pulled onto Lu Jiao and said mysteriously, “I heard you saved Widow Li’s daughter-in-law last night. I heard that she had died and you revived her.”

Lu Jiao quickly explained, “That’s an exaggeration. She wasn’t dead.”

Lady Zhao obviously didn’t believe that. She firmly believed that Lu Jiao’s medical knowledge was out of the world and no doctors in town were as good as her. She was the one who removed the fishbone from her Xiaobao’s throat. She also easily helped Lin Erdan get rid of his fever. Also, before that, she helped get rid of Xu Duojin’s snake toxins.

Every example proved how capable she was. Lady Zhao wasn’t the only person who thought that – all the villagers thought that.

Lady Zhao grabbed Lu Jiao’s hand and whispered, “Yunjin’s wife, can you take a look at my daughter-in-law? Is there a reason why she’s not able to get pregnant? She’s been married into my family for two years now yet nothing’s happening to her stomach.”

Lu Jiao remembered that last time, Lin Chunyan went into town to seek medical advice, “I thought she went into town to get it checked?”

Lady Zhao felt that Lu Jiao was better and begged, “Yunjin’s wife, can you please take a look? Do me a favor.”

Lu Jiao didn’t decline. As a doctor, it was her job to look after patients. She wasn’t going to waste all that skill she put into studying.

“Okay, then I can take a look.”

Excited, Lady Zhao pulled Lu Jiao into the room. As she walked, she called out to Lin Chunyan, “Chunyan, come, your third aunt is here.”

Lin Chunyan walked out with her face pale. With a low voice, she greeted, “Third aunt.”

Lu Jiao noticed that she was getting shyer and shyer. These days, she doesn’t even lift her head up.

This was likely related to her fertility. This att.i.tude, however, was very bad for her health. When trying to get pregnant, the woman should maintain a happy and light mood. Only that way, will the baby be healthy as well.

Lu Jiao indicated for Lin Chunyan to sit down. She then felt her pulse.

Lady Zhao went into the kitchen and brought out three boiled eggs. She gave them to the three children.

The three children didn’t touch it and all glanced at Lu Jiao. Lu Jiao nodded, “Take them. Remember to thank your aunty.”

The three children quickly thanked Lady Zhao.

Lu Jiao examined Lin Chunyan twice, including even eyes, brows, and tongue. Finally, she took Lin Chunyan’s hand and asked her questions about her menstrual cycle.

Inside the room, Lady Zhao and Lin Chunyan were nervous. The two of them stared at Lu Jiao, afraid of bad news.

Lu Jiao glanced over them and said in a calm voice, “She has multiple symptoms, including malnutrition, which causes low iron. The low iron causes her kidneys to be weak, which prematurely ages her uterus. With her uterus weak, her eggs don’t mature and attach. This is why she hasn’t been able to get pregnant.”

Lu Jiao said a lot but the other two women didn’t understand any of it. Their faces changed colors as they interpreted Lu Jiao’s words as Lin Chunyan will not be able to bear children.

Lin Chunyan’s vision went dark and she almost pa.s.sed out.

Unable to contain herself, she started to cry, “I can’t have children, can I? I don’t want to live anymore!”

She then started running outside to throw herself down the river.

Lu Jiao made a face, “I didn’t say it wasn’t curable. Why are you crying?”

Lin Chunyan’s crying stopped abruptly. She snapped her head back, “I can have kids?”

“Once you condition your body, of course, you can bear children. I’m going to write you a prescription. You can go into town and brew it every day. In addition, you need to eat more food that contains iron, such as dates, brown sugar, and eggs. Remember to eat white rice every day.”

Lady Zhao’s face dropped as she listened to Lu Jiao. These days, everyone’s so poor they can’t exactly afford food. Dates? Brown Sugar? Eggs? This was a rich man’s disease. No family could afford this.

Lady Zhao unkindly eyed Lin Chunyan as she wondered if she should ask her son to leave this woman.

Scared off by the unkind glare, Lin Chunyan’s tears rolled down her cheeks.

Lu Jiao knew right away what Lady Zhao was thinking. She said in a collected manner, “Aunty, it’s hard to find a daughter-in-law like Chunyan. If you end up with a troublesome woman, you’ll be the one with a constant headache. Though it may cost some money to cure this illness, you get a great daughter-in-law for the rest of your life. What a great deal.”
