Wenren Hui probably saw through it, so he had to put the matter aside and talk about something else.
Then Lu Deyuan came.
Wenren Hui was naturally delighted to see her husband. She didn't expect him to follow her so soon. When their eyes met, she couldn't help but blush.
Lu Deyuan greeted the old lady and said, "The old lady seems to be in much better spirits than the last time I saw her."
The old lady adjusted her sleeves nonchalantly and said, "Well, this is all thanks to our fourth sister. She was fortunate enough to be picked up by a wandering miracle doctor and inherited his legacy. Her medical skills are extraordinary. It hasn't been long since then, but I feel a lot more relaxed." Then she paused, as if she had thought of something and said, "You have been married for many years and have no children. Your eldest sister has also taken a lot of medicine. Why don't you ask your fourth sister to come and take a look?" Everything she said and did was quite natural.
Wenren Xi was truly raised in pampering, while Xiaocao grew up outside, so Wenren Hui was actually the one who was taught by Han personally. He immediately understood what his grandmother meant, "If this is true, then I'll trouble my fourth sister." He lowered his head sadly.
Lu Deyuan also knew the pressure she had been under in recent years, and although he felt sorry for her, he naturally did not disagree.
It was inappropriate for Wen Renxu to be present at this matter, so he left first.
When sending someone to call Xiaocao, the old lady spoke again, "Deyuan, I see that your eyes are bloodshot and your voice is a little hoarse. Are you feeling unwell? Let Fourth Sister take your pulse later."
"Thank you, old madam. I would be honored to refuse. I will accompany Hui Niang to trouble my fourth aunt." Lu Deyuan naturally did not refuse to respond to the care of his elders.
Wenren Hui sighed secretly, thinking that grandma was still the best.
When Xiaocao entered the house, she greeted Lu Deyuan. Lu Deyuan was also a modest gentleman. He glanced at Xiaocao and then lowered his eyes. However, he still sighed inwardly that this fourth aunt's sister looked like his mother-in-law. But it was probably because of this that he was able to find her. Otherwise, even if they met on the street, they would probably just pass by each other.
Old Madam Wenren briefly told Xiaocao the purpose of asking her to come.
Xiao Cao understood it in her heart, so, as expected, things will work out when the time comes. Isn't it? !
Wen Renhui's heartfelt words were full of thanks and trouble.
Xiao Cao smiled, "Big sister, there's no need to be like this. We are all sisters. Grandmother is worried about you, and mother is also worried. Even if not now, mother will probably let me take a look at you later."
"It's my fault as a granddaughter and daughter."
Xiao Cao knew about Wen Renhui's condition, but she played it safe. She asked questions after taking his pulse, but not as detailed or private as before. "No problem. Maybe you're not destined to have a child yet. Don't take medicine randomly. Stay relaxed and don't put too much pressure on yourself. You'll have a child sooner or later."
Xiaocao is not good at acting by nature, but it would be natural for her to change the problem from another angle and simply give the patient some advice.
Wen Renhui felt a bit bitter and sad, and Lu Deyuan whispered a few words to coax her, but because there were other people around, it was not good to do too much.
When Xiaocao was about to take Lu Deyuan's pulse, a handkerchief was already draped over his wrist. The corners of Xiaocao's mouth twitched slightly, but, let alone taking a pulse through a layer of cloth, Xiaocao could even give acupuncture through clothes.
Xiaocao's fingers fell on Lu Deyuan's pulse. After a moment, his expression became unusually solemn, and the expressions of the people around him also became tense, especially since Xiaocao asked him to change his hand.
"Fourth sister, your eldest brother-in-law..." Could there really be a big problem
Xiao Cao turned her head to look at Old Madam Wenren, "Grandma, I want to talk to my eldest brother-in-law alone."
Normally, it wouldn't make sense for a brother-in-law to be alone with his sister-in-law, but this just goes to show the seriousness of the matter.
Madam Wenren frowned slightly and looked at Lu Deyuan, who was also in a daze, and said, "Go to the cubicle."
The compartment was separated by a door curtain, so people could see through it, but if you kept your voice down, people outside could hardly hear it.
Xiaocao took a step ahead, Lu Deyuan slowed down, but finally followed, and Wenren Hui also followed subconsciously.
Xiao Cao happened to turn around and saw this, "Big sister, please stay."
Wen Renhui paused, "Can't I listen?"
"Later, let your brother-in-law decide whether to tell you or not." Ensuring the privacy of patients is the basic ethics of doctors. Although they are husband and wife, most men in this era are patriarchal. The wife has never been someone with whom she can share everything. If the wife knows too much, it may make the man angry and embarrassed, which will ruin the relationship.
Lu Deyuan and Xiaocao sat opposite each other, "I don't know what Fourth Aunt wants to say, but is there something serious wrong with my body?" It is absolutely impossible to say that he was not nervous or worried at all.
Xiaocao actually had already made up her mind, but she still asked a few questions.
There was nothing difficult to say, so Lu Deyuan answered them one by one.
Then, "I heard from mother that my eldest brother-in-law has two illegitimate children. Were they born after my eldest sister got married?"
Lu Deyuan frowned. As a aunt, it was not right for her to say such things. Besides, what did it have to do with his health? But he didn't get angry in the end. "After one year of marriage, my wife didn't have any children, so I stopped giving my concubines the contraceptive soup."
Xiao Cao nodded, "Well, with all due respect, I'm afraid these two children are not yours, brother-in-law."
"Ridiculous!" Lu Deyuan was stunned, then he slammed the table angrily and stood up.
“What’s the matter, what’s the matter…” Wen Renhui hurriedly lifted the curtain and came in.
Lu Deyuan was furious, but Xiaocao was very calm. She turned her head and said, "Big sister, please go out first. - Why are you so angry, brother-in-law? You might as well listen to what I have to say first, and then you can lose your temper. - Big sister, please go out first."
Lu Deyuan clenched his fists, veins popped out on his neck, Huo De turned his head and said, "Get out!"
Wen Renhui was frightened by her furious husband. She had never seen him like this before, but she still went out quietly.
Xiao Cao's expression instantly turned cold. "What does it have to do with my elder sister? My elder brother-in-law yelled at her. He was so impressive."
Lu Deyuan suppressed his anger and looked directly at Xiaocao, regardless of etiquette. "Okay, I want to hear what the girl has to say. If you can't give me a satisfactory explanation..."
Xiao Cao didn't take it seriously. "According to my diagnosis, your brother-in-law is infertile. It's not his own problem, but he took some kind of sterilization drug. It happened about five years ago. Your sister has been married to you for five years, so there is reason to suspect that it was before that."
"Ridiculous, ridiculous..."
"Brother-in-law, do you think that I diagnosed my sister as infertile, so I turned the tables and put the blame on you? My sister must have seen many doctors, but has anyone ever told her that she is infertile? I guess not.
I have only just returned home, and today is the first time I see you and my elder sister. If my elder sister and I have a very good relationship and deep feelings for each other, there may be reasons for me to do this, but is it possible
Knowing that there was nothing wrong with my elder sister's health, and that you had a child born out of wedlock, I just thought that it was not the right time for you to have a child, or that there might be something wrong with my elder brother-in-law, but it was not infertility, so when I checked my elder brother-in-law's pulse, I consciously looked into this aspect. The result was very surprising.
If we say that my brother-in-law has seen a doctor in the past few years, it must be for other reasons. The reason why he didn't notice it can only be that he didn't suspect it, didn't deliberately investigate it, or the doctor didn't have experience in this area. "
