CHAPTER 301: CHAPTER 250 UPDATE 1

Old Lady Zhao grew even angrier upon hearing this, "Now that your mom’s given it to you, it’s yours? You are now a member of the Zhao Family, and everything you have belongs to the Zhao Family... how can there still be yours, mine, and his?"

"And what is your mother trying to imply? Secretly giving you money to go to the hospital for treatment? What, does she think we’re going to harm you?"

The more Old Lady Zhao thought about it, the angrier she became, "No, I will go ask her right now what she means by this."

Xu Guilan watched her mother-in-law’s angry determination to confront her family and was scared out of her wits, "Mother, my mom didn’t mean that, she’s just a little anxious... she wants me to go to the hospital to get checked out..."

Old Lady Zhao was not someone to be easily reasoned with, "Oh, so your mother disapproves of the medicine I found for you?"

"Mother..." Xu Guilan’s eyes were particularly red, as she was a very traditional woman who only wanted to have a child of her own.

Originally frightened of her mother-in-law, Xu Guilan couldn’t help feeling a bit resentful in that moment, "Mother, those medicines you prepared... that doctor said there was something wrong with them! It was those medicines that ruined my health..."

Suddenly remembering something, her face became excited, "Mother, give me some money, please! That person said she could heal me, she could make it possible for me to have a child..."

Wasn’t Rong Yan sent back to get the approval of her mother-in-law, which surely meant asking for money?

Old Lady Zhao’s fury blazed even more intensely.

"Pah, don’t dream of deceiving me out of my money. Speak, who is that person? Where does she live? I will go find her myself. Just listen to you, it’s clear that charlatan is slandering me, claiming the herbs are poisonous. Aren’t you essentially saying that I, this old woman, am harming you? Don’t I want to hold my grandchild? Don’t I want the Zhao Family to have descendants? If you don’t speak up now, there will be no place for you in this family. I can’t have an ungrateful daughter-in-law... after all I’ve done for you, it’s like you’ve given your conscience to a dog... to actually suspect your own old mother..."

She raised her voice so loud that it woke the man who was sleeping in the room... Xu Guilan’s husband, Zhao Daquan.

Zhao Daquan, not even fully dressed and just in a tank top, hurriedly slipped on his shoes and came out.

"What’s going on? What’s going on?"

Seeing her son come out, Old Lady Zhao immediately burst into tears.

"Daquan, oh! Your wife now knows how to conjure tricks... A charlatan told her that the previous medicines had problems and harmed her body, preventing her from having children... Is she blaming me, this old woman, for it? Don’t I want our Zhao Family to have grandchildren? I can’t face people anymore... I can’t live like this..."

Xu Guilan was at a loss, panicking, "That’s not it; I didn’t..."

But when Zhao Daquan heard his mother’s laments, his filial piety made him feel like he was tearing apart inside.

He glared fiercely at his wife, "Xu Guilan, are you trying to infuriate my mother to death?"

Xu Guilan was wronged to the extreme, like freak snow in June, more wronged than Dou E.

To prove her innocence, her head almost rattled like a pellet drum, "I didn’t... it’s Rong Yan who said that... she said there was something wrong with the medicine I’ve been taking, the other doctor said the same thing..."

When the doctor spoke last time, she hadn’t understood the meaning... no, she had never even considered someone might be harming her.

Zhao Daquan instantly focused on the key name in her words: "Rong Yan? Who? Why would she say that? By what right does she say that?"

"I... my aunt said her medical skills were very good, so I thought I’d give it a try. I want to have a child for you... She said my body has been ruined by the medicine, just like the eye doctor said... and moreover, she said she could cure it."

A glimmer of hope shone in her eyes, "Daquan, she said she could cure it. If I get well, I can have children for you... Shall we go find her tomorrow?"

She wanted to have several children until she physically couldn’t anymore. As for who had drugged her... that didn’t matter anymore.

Zhao Daquan frowned, but before he could speak, Old Lady Zhao grew even angrier.

"She must be a swindler, but we do have to go find her tomorrow, daring to say I drugged you. If she doesn’t clear things up, I won’t let her off easily."

Hearing that her mother-in-law was still set on causing trouble for the other party, Xu Guilan panicked.

"Mother, if that person says she can cure it, let her treat me first. It’s just a month or two... If I become pregnant by then... then she isn’t a liar. If I’m not, there’ll be plenty of time to trouble her later... Daquan, aren’t I right?"

"Can she really cure it?" Zhao Daquan was skeptical.

Xu Guilan nodded her head frantically, "Yes, she said she could."

Zhao Daquan thought for a moment, then turned to look at his mother.

"Mother, in that case, let’s go take a look."

Old Lady Zhao was not pleased, "We will go tomorrow."

"Let it be so, then. It’s getting late, let’s go to sleep," Zhao Daquan, believing he had settled the matter, slid his feet back into his shoes and returned to his room.

***

After taking a bath, Qin Ye returned to his room and saw his wife, still not asleep and reading a book. He walked over, "Wife, stop reading, it’s bad for the eyes."

Rong Yan looked up at him.

"See if you can get us some fruit trees. I want to plant them in the space. My space has leveled up, and I can now sell things, but I can only sell items that grow in the space."

Qin Ye was a bit puzzled; sell things?

"Later, we won’t have to risk bringing items out to buy and sell anymore." As soon as Rong Yan said this, Qin Ye immediately replied, "I’ll check it out tomorrow. Are all kinds of fruit trees okay?"

"Yes. But we can also plant little green vegetables and stuff. Just buy whatever seeds or fruit trees can be planted; I’ll give them a try."

Qin Ye nodded, "Alright."

He was already thinking about what to buy.

Most importantly, he had to consider whether his wife would like to eat them.

"Let’s sleep!" Rong Yan put down her book, ready for bed.

Qin Ye promptly took her book to the table next to them, then flipped back the mosquito net and climbed into bed.

His gaze was fixed on the blushing person before him, as if she were the enticing fruit itself.

"Wife..." his voice came out deep and husky.

Whether it was his gaze, his voice, or his body... all were emitting signals, expressing his intense desire.

Rong Yan: ...

The first thought that came to her mind was how hot it was.

His body in the winter would naturally serve as a fine warming stove.

But in the summer... she was already too hot to even feel human, let alone have his warm body close to hers, and then do... that.

She figured it would be best to skip it.

However, when those slightly cool lips touched hers, all those thoughts vanished.

She felt they could explore the origins of human genetic continuity... after all, in this era without mobile phones, computers, or the internet, there weren’t many other nightlife options.

This could be considered the only little joy.

Fortunately, the two were aware that the room wasn’t very soundproof, so they kept the noise down...
