CHAPTER 736: CHAPTER 732 A GREAT JOY (8TH UPDATE)
When they arrived at Yu Family Village, it was still early.
Mu Shuangshuang didn’t speak to anyone, and directly took Zhang Huai Shu to see Yu Liulang.
At first, Yu Liulang was puzzled, but once Mu Shuangshuang revealed Zhang Huai Shu’s identity, Yu Liulang was dumbfounded.
He felt very uneasy and didn’t dare to speak about his situation to anyone.
Now that Shuangshuang had brought a doctor over, the more Yu Liulang thought about it, the more he was afraid that the villagers would find out about his situation, and he and Xiao Hua would be ridiculed.
Yu Liulang’s terrified expression was caught by Mu Shuangshuang, who quickly said, "Uncle, Shuangshuang means no harm. I just feel that this is a serious matter and you shouldn’t avoid seeing a doctor, and you don’t want to be like this for the rest of your life, do you?
Grandpa Zhang is one of us, he definitely won’t tell anyone about your issue. You can rest assured of that, and of course, Shuangshuang can also guarantee it."
Zhang Huai Shu followed up, "Doctors are like parents; I have been practicing medicine for many years and I never disclose patients’ issues to others."
Yu Liulang finally calmed down.
Zhang Huai Shu settled down and took Yu Liulang’s pulse. As he did, his expression changed dramatically.
He exclaimed to Mu Shuangshuang, "Oh my, Shuangshuang, your...your uncle has been poisoned."
"What?" Mu Shuangshuang frowned.
Yu Liulang was also taken aback.
"Uncle Zhang, what do you mean I’ve been poisoned?"
"You said you were normal before. I examined you closely, and originally your body indeed had no problems, but someone has poisoned you, depleting your body.
Young man, think for yourself, who have you offended?"
Zhang Huai Shu, having practiced medicine for many years, had seen many people—good and bad—but he had never heard of, let alone seen, someone being given a drug to destroy a man’s potency.
To think, someone would be this cruel, wanting to cut off Yu Liulang’s descendants. What sort of grudge must there be to do such a thing?
Yu Liulang thought for a moment and shook his head. "Although I’m impulsive, I haven’t offended anyone. In fact, there’s no one this malicious in the whole village.
The only person I’ve offended is a woman named Luo Xiu’er, who abandoned me days before our wedding when we were young. Recently, she returned and did a lot of bad things to me.
She even almost harmed my wife, but she was caught last night, so I don’t know if it’s her."
Zhang Huai Shu pondered for a moment and said, "In your case, this isn’t just a one-time poisoning. I estimate it’s been done eight or nine times."
With this, Mu Shuangshuang first ruled out Luo Xiu’er.
"Then it’s not Luo Xiu’er. My Sixth Uncle only had two meals at her place, so as for the eight or nine times Grandpa Zhang mentioned, I suspect it’s someone from our family!"
Mu Shuangshuang believed that aside from family, no one else had the opportunity to do this.
"Family? No, that’s impossible." Yu Liulang couldn’t accept this fact.
At Old Yu Family, there were only a few people at home now.
Excluding the children, it was only the first and second households, and then his parents.
These are close relatives, there’s no way they could harm him.
"Uncle Zhang, I’m sorry, but I cannot accept this answer!"
Listening to Yu Liulang, Mu Shuangshuang didn’t know whether to say Yu Liulang was kind-hearted or foolish. The situation was right in front of him, yet he still didn’t believe it.
"How about this, Shuangshuang will analyze it. What is certain now is that my Sixth Uncle himself was physically fine; the problem arose because someone poisoned him.
But why would someone poison him? To harm my Sixth Uncle? I doubt it. If they can poison, why not use other poisons, like slowly poisoning my Sixth Uncle to death, or simply hiring someone to kill him.
The former two methods are more straightforward. Of course, it’s also possible the person wants to make my uncle lose his confidence and become discouraged!
Another possibility is that the target might not be my Sixth Uncle, but my Aunt Xiao Hua.
After all, this matter not only concerns my Sixth Uncle but also the child. Generally, if there’s no child, the person most affected is the woman, that is, my Aunt Xiao Hua."
According to what Mu Shuangshuang knew, in this era, if a woman couldn’t bear children or a male child, she would be scolded as a chicken that doesn’t lay eggs.
No matter whether a woman truly had a problem, it was always the woman who got scolded.
Even someone like Mrs. Jin, who was already a scholar’s wife, would be criticized behind her back, simply because she had not borne a son.
Yu Liulang’s face turned ashen.
"Why would this happen, family..." Yu Liulang muttered.
The thought that the target was Feng Xiaohua made Yu Liulang’s chest twist in pain like a knife.
"Sixth Uncle, stop thinking about it. Shuangshuang actually has a method to find out who that person is!" Mu Shuangshuang said.
"What method?" Yu Liulang asked excitedly.
"Let Aunt Xiao Hua fake a pregnancy! Since this person doesn’t want Aunt Xiao Hua to conceive, once this news comes out, she will surely doubt whether the medicine she uses is effective.
She will either go to the town’s medical clinic or ask the village doctor, and in any case, the answer will come soon."
Mu Shuangshuang’s plan was unanimously agreed upon by everyone.
Yu Liulang calmed his emotions and pulled out a particularly bright smile. He called Feng Xiaohua, who was still washing clothes outside, into the house.
After recounting what had just happened to Feng Xiaohua, she was also startled.
"Brother Liu Lang, what should we do? I’m so scared!"
Yu Liulang wrapped Feng Xiaohua in his arms, "Don’t be afraid. We’ll find this person, and once we do, we’ll be safe."
"Yes, I will listen to you all," Feng Xiaohua said.
With everything arranged on this side, Yu Liulang, ready on the other side, ran out and shouted to Yu Si Niang, who was still doing laundry in the courtyard, "Sister, Xiao Hua is pregnant!"
"What?" The club in Yu Si Niang’s hand fell to the ground with a sound.
She looked at Yu Liulang in full surprise.
Until Yu Liulang repeated it. "Sister, I’m going to be a dad, you’re going to be an aunt."
Yu Si Niang’s tears started to fall.
"Good news, good news!"
In his heart, Yu Liulang felt very guilty, deceiving his own sister to find out who was harming him.
But unless this person was found, he wouldn’t be able to sleep peacefully.
"Sister, don’t cry. This is good news, good news."
Yu Si Niang laughed heartily, quickly wiping off her tears. She said to Yu Liulang, "Yes, this is good news. We must tell Dad and Mom, and I’ll cook lunch, make something good for Xiao Hua, to nourish her. Today, sister won’t go back. Anyway, the kids are all here, so there’s no need to worry about home."
"Alright, let’s go find Dad and Mom and tell them about this, and we’ll celebrate at lunch, celebrate."
