Chapter 129 - 118: It’s Not a Terminal Disease
Zhou Xi was not foolish; when she had still not conceived by the third year, she had already consulted a physician, of course visiting the doctors at Jishi Hall. This time, returning, she held very little hope herself.
As expected, after the other party asked her about her ailment and felt her pulse for a good while, the rhetoric was the same as before. Then, grasping the brush to prescribe her medicine, Zhou Xi hesitated greatly. In the end, she couldn’t help but say, "Doctor, I’ve been nurturing my health for many years and haven’t skimped on the medicine, but I still can’t conceive."
The doctor studied Zhou Xi’s face for a while before retracting his gaze and saying, "You haven’t nurtured your health properly."
Standing beside her elder sister, Manbao, upon hearing this, asked, "Then what does it mean to be properly nurtured?"
"When her hands and feet aren’t cold anymore in the winter and her complexion is rosy, that would mean she’s well-nourished."
Then, you need to eat well. Like them, this year their complexions are all better than in previous years. Keke says this is because they’re eating better than before.
Manbao thought to herself that it seemed necessary to buy more delicious food.
Seeing her elder sister still looking unhappy, she leaned on the table and asked, "Doctor, does that mean my elder sister’s illness can be cured? When she is well-nourished, will she be able to have a baby?"
No doctor would guarantee a cure for any ailment, especially something as complex as conceiving a child. However, since the one asking was a child of five or six years old, the doctor wasn’t about to get angry.
The doctor looked at Manbao for a while and then glanced at Zhou ErLang standing not far away, pondering for a moment before saying, "Infertility isn’t necessarily a problem with the female partner. Your husband is here too, isn’t he? It might be good for him to see me as well."
Manbao’s eyes lit up, and she asked, "Doctor, does that mean my elder sister’s condition isn’t so bad that she can’t conceive, and it could also be my former brother-in-law’s issue?"
