Chapter 447: Just Want a Son

“Mom, how can you do this? Who is your real daughter? Why aren’t you helping me but helping someone else?” Jiang Huijing stomped her feet in frustration and complained to her mother, Jiang Mu.

Jiang Mu snapped at her, “Shut up! You’re wrong. In my heart, your third sister-in-law is never an outsider, you’re the outsider! I truly regret giving birth to you!”

Jiang Huijing’s tears flowed down as she heard her mother’s cold words.

Wang Fuguo, who had been standing aside, tugged at his hair in frustration. He quickly stepped forward to mediate, “Mom, please calm down. Huijing has always seen you as her real mother.”

Jiang Mu, looking at her son-in-law, opened her mouth but couldn’t bring herself to say anything more. She turned and went into the house.

Jiang Fu, seeing this, sighed and followed his wife inside.

With the three elders gone inside, the yard was left with just the three of them.

Li Yiyi looked at Jiang Huijing, who was wiping away her tears, but she had no intention of comforting her.

Just as she was about to enter the house, Wang Fuguo called out to her.

“Third Sister-in-law, could you stay for a moment? We need to ask you for something,” Wang Fuguo quickly called out to Li Yiyi.

Li Yiyi stopped and furrowed her brows as she turned to look at him, “What is it?”

Wang Fuguo walked up with a fawning smile and said, “Third Sister-in-law, we heard that your medical skills are very impressive. Could you take a look and see if you can help us?”

Li Yiyi glanced at them, then scanned them up and down with a critical eye.

“You two don’t seem to have any health problems. What are you trying to check?” she asked directly.

As soon as she spoke, the couple exchanged surprised glances.

“See? I told you Third Sister-in-law was amazing, but you didn’t believe me.” Wang Fuguo nudged his wife with his elbow, whispering.

Jiang Huijing quickly wiped the tears from her cheeks, “I believe you now, I believe you.”

“Third Sister-in-law, we want to have a son, but we haven’t been able to conceive. Could you help us figure out why?” Wang Fuguo quickly continued.

Li Yiyi looked at their anxious expressions and said, “Alright, sit over there, I’ll take a look at you.”

“Great, thank you, Third Sister-in-law. If we really have a son, we’ll have him call you godmother,” Wang Fuguo said excitedly.

When Li Yiyi heard this, she raised an eyebrow. Godmother? What’s that about?

“No need for that. I already have two kids, I don’t need another godchild,” she replied without a second thought.

The couple, still elated that she was willing to help them, didn’t catch the dismissive tone in her voice.

The three sat on a stone bench in the yard. Li Yiyi first checked Jiang Huijing, then turned to check Wang Fuguo.

After examining them both, the couple anxiously waited for her to speak.

“Don’t worry. I took your pulses carefully. Neither of you has any major issues. First, Jiang Huijing, did you have a miscarriage before?”

Jiang Huijing’s eyes turned red as she heard this. “Yes, Sister-in-law, I did have a miscarriage. After that, we haven’t been able to conceive again.” She hurriedly wiped her tears. “Sister-in-law, is it because of the miscarriage that I can’t get pregnant?”

Li Yiyi nodded. “Yes, it’s because of that. Did you go to the hospital afterward?”

“Do you need to go to the hospital? Which woman in the countryside goes to the hospital after a miscarriage?” Jiang Huijing frowned and asked.

Li Yiyi looked at her with a disappointed shake of her head. “Others may do things their way, but you should have gone to the hospital. The issue now is related to that miscarriage.”

“What should I do?” Jiang Huijing started crying again. “I’ve been to the hospital several times, but they didn’t say anything was wrong with me.”

“Did they give you an ultrasound?” Li Yiyi asked.

“Why would I need an ultrasound? It’s so expensive,” Jiang Huijing answered without thinking.

Li Yiyi sighed. “That’s the problem. You didn’t get one, so the doctors couldn’t detect it. But it shouldn’t be this way. You said you’ve been to the hospital several times. It’s impossible they didn’t do an ultrasound.”

As soon as she said this, Jiang Huijing and Wang Fuguo both looked guilty and couldn’t meet her gaze.

“What’s going on? Are you two hiding something from me?” Li Yiyi asked as she noticed their nervous expressions.

Jiang Huijing gently nudged her husband. “You should tell Sister-in-law the reason. I’m too scared to say it.”

Wang Fuguo, pushed by his wife, nervously started speaking. “The ultrasound is really expensive. We didn’t have the money for it, and it’s just a machine anyway. How could it possibly show anything inside the body?”

Li Yiyi interrupted him, “I get it. No need to explain further. In the end, it’s because you two didn’t have the money.”

Embarrassed, the couple lowered their heads.

Seeing their shame, Li Yiyi sighed and took Jiang Huijing’s pulse again. “It’s your fallopian tubes that are blocked. You’ll need to get them cleared before you can conceive again. Go to the hospital and talk to a doctor. They’ll know how to treat it.”

“Third Sister-in-law, can’t you treat me? Aren’t you skilled in medicine? Can’t you fix it?” Jiang Huijing asked softly, not wanting to spend money on the hospital.

Li Yiyi gave a cold smile. “I’m too busy right now with a lot of things on my plate. This is a small issue; you should leave it to the professionals.”

Jiang Huijing felt uncomfortable and muttered softly, “How can my issue be a small one?”

Before she could finish, her husband gently nudged her arm.

Seeing the warning in his eyes, Jiang Huijing reluctantly fell silent.

Wang Fuguo, smiling broadly, said, “Third Sister-in-law, thank you. We know what to do now. If we have the money, we’ll go to the hospital and see a doctor.”

Li Yiyi glanced at the couple but didn’t say much more. Just as she was about to go inside, she remembered something they had said to Jiang Fu earlier.

“I heard you found a job. What kind of job did you get?” she asked.

Wang Fuguo replied happily, “Yes, Third Sister-in-law, we found a job! There’s a wealthy family that hired us. I’ll work as a security guard, and Huijing will be a maid.”

“That sounds like a good fit for you two,” Li Yiyi said as she looked at them.

The couple didn’t sense any judgment in her words and nodded excitedly.

“Yes, we also think it’s a good fit for us,” Wang Fuguo said happily.
