Chapter 866 - 867: Everyone Likes The Adoption Routine_1
"Like this?" Yang Jinxiu hesitated for a moment, then said, "Well, I should check it out anyway. If there’s no problem, I want to see what that old lady will say, hmph."
Seeing her huffing and puffing, Yang Chuxia couldn’t help but smile.
"I’ll write you a letter. When you head back, just hand it over to Manager Mu, and he’ll understand once he reads it."
Fortunately, there was paper and a pen right on the table, so there was no need to look elsewhere.
"Jinxiu, I’ve heard that having children isn’t always a woman’s issue. Men can also have problems. When you visit Mu’s Clinic, you’d better take your husband with you for a check-up as well."
"Is that so?" Upon hearing that men might also have problems, Yang Jinxiu’s eyes lit up, but her expression quickly darkened again. "Forget it. If I suggest he comes along, that old lady would probably make a scene. She’ll definitely think I’m blaming her son for not having children. Then, when my little aunt-in-law goes back to her mother’s house once, with the three women echoing each other, it’ll never end."
Yang Chuxia then offered her advice, "Are you being silly? When you go to the county town, your husband will have to accompany you, right? Just have the doctor take a look at him while you’re there. If there’s no problem, then no one will be the wiser. And if there really is an issue, once the doctor speaks up and you take the prescribed medicine back, who would dare to say anything about you?"
"That makes sense. I’ll do that when I go back," Jinxiu mused over what Yang Chuxia had said, then responded accordingly.
After discussing the important matters, Jinxiu chatted at the third branch of the family for a while before bidding farewell and returning to her mother’s home. After a quick tidy up, she didn’t even eat lunch at home and hurried back to her own place.
Once at home, she discussed the situation with her mother-in-law. Although her mother-in-law’s face didn’t look too good, she didn’t say much. Even the first branch of the family didn’t have much to say; after all, not just anyone could afford the services of a doctor from Divine Doctor Mu’s clinic. Just getting their attention was an enormous face-saving favor; even her mother-in-law had nothing negative to say against such prestige.
So, the next day, Jinxiu and her husband rushed off to the county town. Once in town, Manager Mu, upon reading the letter, didn’t say a second word and pointed them to a doctor at the clinic right away for Jinxiu’s check-up.
The result was unexpected. Jinxiu was fine; the problem was actually with her husband. The doctor prescribed some medicine for him to take home and to come back for a follow-up in half a month.
Realizing he had a problem, Jinxiu’s husband was stunned and listless all the way home. Upon returning to the Li Family, the mother-in-law’s face turned green upon learning her own son was the one with issues. It was exasperating whether they believed it or not since these words came from a doctor under the Divine Doctor Mu. Accepting the diagnosis was infuriating.
No matter what the Li family thought, Jinxiu felt relieved. That’ll teach that old lady to talk about me all the time.
When the news reached Yang Chuxia, she was sweating; she hadn’t expected things to turn out to be so coincidental.
"Your Auntie Caixia is fuming at home, saying that Jinxiu has suffered unjustly."
This news was brought over by Auntie Caixia herself during her visit to Ms. Wang.
"Auntie Caixia is just shooting her mouth off after the fact. What’s the use of being angry now? She never should have agreed to this marriage with the Li Family in the first place. Now, if Jinxiu’s husband can be cured, that’s all well and good, they might have a child in a few years. But if he can’t be cured and they remain childless, who can Jinxiu rely on in the future... you don’t mean to imply they should divorce, do you?"
"A divorce is out of the question. Not to mention anything else, her grandmother would never allow her to stay in the house," Ms. Wang shook her head and said, "If she really can’t have children, then just adopt."
Tsk, in these times, everyone likes to resort to adoption when they can’t have children. Yang Chuxia didn’t think much of adoption; the child’s biological parents would still be alive. Did they really expect the child to be dutiful towards them? That’s ridiculous.
