This era is still too harsh on women.

Once the reform and opening up take place, Chen Xiuer can unleash her business genius. Once she's made money, she'll naturally have many ways to get a divorce. Divorce is possible now, but the fear is that Zhao Shupi might easily manipulate Chen Xiuer using the children.

Chen Xiuer's eyes lit up, and she nodded vigorously: "I understand... Thank you, Dr. Su."

After finishing with the planting area, Su Wanqing went to the lavender experimental field. During her absence, Ga Laosan had taken excellent care of the field. The lavender seedlings were lush and green, and a faint fragrance wafted in the breeze.

Su Wanqing squatted down to carefully examine the seedlings. Perhaps due to the irrigation from the spiritual spring, they were growing even better than she had expected. She thought to herself: after harvesting this batch of lavender, she could try to extract some essential oil herself. These days, essential oils were rare commodities, and whether used as medicine or fragrance, they should have no trouble finding a market.

Once the flowers bloom in two months, the bees in the hives can come and collect the honey.

The lavender in the space will bloom in two days, so the bees in the space can collect lavender from it first.

Zhou Yanshen had to return the military truck, so Su Wanqing moved the beehives from the truck to her front yard. She carefully fed them some sugar water so the little guys wouldn't go hungry.

After settling the bees, Su Wanqing went to the field to pick vegetables. The vegetables in her own yard were already ripe and lush and green. Zhou Yanshen had already demolished the wall that had separated Jiang Weiwei's house from his own—his mother and Lin Tingting had moved there, and the yard was about to expand outwards.

The wall had just been torn down, and Su Wanqing had only picked two handfuls of greens when Tian Dahua came over carrying a plump cabbage: "Dr. Su, you're finally back! Why didn't you come to me to pick some vegetables when you were out of produce? You're being so polite with me!"

Su Wanqing smiled and accepted the cabbage: "Captain Tian, ​​our vegetables are ready to eat now, so we won't need to pick any more. Autumn is almost here, so you should store up more vegetables; they'll taste delicious in winter."

"Dr. Su, you're underestimating me by saying that. You haven't even asked me for the consultation fee yet. My son Erzhu is so energetic thanks to you, Dr. Su. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to stand up straight right now."

Tian Dahua said with great enthusiasm that she was truly grateful to Su Wanqing and just wanted to give her more cabbages. You see, before, Erzhuzi saw a big tree as just a small pepper hanging on it, unlike now.

The things in this field aren't worth much, and this is the only way she can express her gratitude.

Su Wanqing: "..." Women these days don't even speak politely; she felt embarrassed just listening to them.

"By the way, Dr. Su, could you take a look at me? I haven't had my period yet this month. Could I be pregnant?" Tian Dahua asked, both expectant and shy. "Could you take a look at me? I haven't had my period yet this month... could I be pregnant? Last time you took my pulse, you said that day was the easiest time to get pregnant, about a 10% chance. We had it five or six times that night! Sigh, if you ask me, Erzhuzi still isn't quite right. If it had been eight or nine times, wouldn't it have been 80 or 90% certain?"

Su Wanqing: "?"

A question mark slowly appeared in my mind.

No... she meant that the probability of getting pregnant during ovulation is relatively high, but the probability of natural conception within a day is only about one in ten, not that it's one in ten every time!

That's how Tian Dahua understood it?

Su Wanqing stared in disbelief, unable to comprehend what it would feel like for Erzhuzi to be forced to have sex ten times. Her lips twitched slightly. "Captain Tian, ​​you… sigh, let me check your pulse first. Don't go through this again next time; the probability of pregnancy isn't calculated by the number of times."

If probability could be determined by the number of times a child has been born, then why is infertility still a problem?

She carefully took his pulse, and after a moment, she looked up in surprise: "Captain Tian, ​​congratulations—you're really pregnant!"

She didn't know what kind of luck Tian Dahua and Erzhuzi had, getting pregnant on their first try. You know, the more times you have sex, the lower the sperm count and motility become, so it doesn't actually help much.

Tian Dahua was so happy she almost jumped for joy: "Really? Dr. Su, I'm really pregnant? I knew it! Five or six times that day and it would definitely be successful!"

"It's true, but it's still early, and the pulse is generally stable. If you feel unwell later, come see me anytime." Su Wanqing paused, then softly instructed, "It's best to avoid intercourse for the first three or four months, just to be on the safe side."

Su Wanqing's suggestion was the best, based on medical advice. However, many others did not follow this advice. In short, there is a risk within three months, and the safe period is from three months to eight months.

Moreover, appropriate sexual intercourse can be beneficial, as it can assist the birth canal and help with a smooth delivery.

Of course, Su Wanqing didn't want to explain the medical stuff to Tian Dahua—let's just consider it a medical miracle for now. There are plenty of medical miracles out there. For example, someone with an IUD can still have a child.

"Thank you so much, Dr. Su! I'm so happy I don't know what to say!" Tian Dahua was convinced: Dr. Su is amazing! She cured Erzhuzi before, and she can even pinpoint the exact day when she will get pregnant!

Miracle doctor!

She left with profuse thanks, stuffing several fresh radishes and cabbages into Su Wanqing's arms before heading to her husband's house with Erzhuzi, who had just finished work—they had to let their family know the good news as soon as possible.

Upon entering the Zhang family's house, Erzhuzi was still completely bewildered: "Wife, what's wrong? Why did you bring me back so mysteriously? Are we eating at Mom's today?"

As soon as her son and daughter-in-law returned, Old Mrs. Zhang quickly tiptoed to take a piece of cured pork from the roof beam: "Eat at home! You've had a long day at work, so Mom will stir-fry some cured pork and cabbage for you!" Although vegetables can be grown in the countryside, there are only a few varieties.

Tian Dahua couldn't hide her smile: "Mom, Erzhuzi, I'm pregnant! My period was four or five days late, and just then Dr. Su came back, so I had her take my pulse—and she said I really am!"

The two were taken aback, then Grandma Zhang grinned from ear to ear: "Really pregnant? Oh my, so fast! Other families take months to conceive!"

Tian Dahua then proceeded to recount the whole story: "Dr. Su is truly a miracle worker! That day, she took my pulse and immediately diagnosed it as my 'ovulation period,' and told me to have intercourse right away. She even said it would be best to do it ten times, because then I'd be 100% sure! But Erzhu and I only did it five times—hey, and it worked! Isn't that amazing?"

Erzhuzi scratched his head and chuckled, "Dr. Su is amazing! She told me to come that day, and I really got pregnant!"

"Good, good, good! It's good that you're pregnant! Mom will make sure you all have some good nourishment!" Old Mrs. Zhang was overjoyed, then suddenly remembered something, "Oh right, your eldest cousin from the 64th Regiment next door hasn't gotten pregnant in four or five years, we should have her come see Dr. Su too! And Old Chen's wife at the end of the village, oh, and your great-aunt... even though she's over fifty, she's still thinking about having another child. Your son-in-law won't come five times, maybe once or twice at most, let Dr. Su see if that's okay too..."
