Siheyuan: Traveling through three years to gain the power of a palm

"The doctor also said that some people can get it done in one go, while others may need a long time. Yutian and I plan to take care of our bodies and try harder."

Wang Jia’s words relieved some of Aunt Wu’s depression. She thought to herself, what if she and Yi Zhonghai were also unlucky?

As if she had seen Aunt Wu's thoughts, Wang Jia, out of the desire for women to help women, whispered in Aunt Wu's ear, "Aunt Wu, I suggest you and Uncle Yi go to the hospital for a checkup. There might be something wrong with not having children for so many years. If you treat it early, maybe the old tree will bloom."

Aunt Wu blushed, but still stammered, "I took some treatment when I was young, and drank a lot of Chinese medicine, but it didn't help."

"Oh, Auntie, this needs to be treated with the right medicine. What if it's not your problem? Just like me, I've been drinking a lot of bitter medicine over the past two years, but it's not my problem at all. It's better to go to the hospital for a check-up as soon as possible."

Aunt Wu did not agree directly, but just said she would consider it.

On the other side, Xu Damao felt a little impatient as he saw Aunt Wu had not moved for a long time.

He found Jiang Fan and asked if he should work harder to spread the news.

"Why are you in such a hurry? Let Yi Zhonghai fly for a while." Jiang Fan was not in a hurry and sat there drinking tea.

"You are not in a hurry now. It turns out that it was you who instigated me to cause trouble for Yi Zhonghai two days ago. You even took out the plan and told me to spread rumors directly." Xu Damao picked up the teacup and drank it all.

"Don't be too anxious, wait a few more days. I reckon Aunt Wu will be wanting to go to the hospital for a checkup soon. If there's still no news after two days, go spread the word."

"Okay, then wait for two more days. I will definitely pass this news to Aunt Wu." Xu Damao said with a wicked smile.

If you want to say that Xu Damao and Yi Zhonghai have a deep hatred, the main reason is because of Sha Zhu. Yi Zhonghai would not openly help Sha Zhu bully Xu Damao, but he took sides. This made Xu Damao very unhappy. Yi Zhonghai is not Sha Zhu's biological father, so why should he take sides?

So when Jiang Fan told him to deal with Yi Zhonghai, even though he knew he was a knife, so what? As long as he could make Yi Zhonghai uncomfortable, he would be a knife.

Chapter 201 Aunt Wu Goes to the Hospital

That night, Aunt Wu looked at Yi Zhonghai, who was in high spirits as he lay in bed. After a moment's thought, she decided to talk to him about this. After all, this was for the sake of both of their happiness. If there really was no problem, they could take care of themselves and try to have a child. Whether it was a boy or a girl, it would be good. A biological child would always be closer to him.

"Old Yi, let me discuss something with you."

"What are you talking about?"

Aunt Wu hesitated for a moment, but still said firmly, "I think we should take some time to get a physical examination. I want to find out what the problem is. If it can be cured, maybe we can still have a child."

Yi Zhonghai's eyes widened instantly, and he almost sat up. He didn't know why his wife had brought up this idea. After a few seconds, he said, "No need for that. We have Dongxu to take care of us in our old age, and Banggeng as our grandson. Isn't that great?"

"Don't you want a child of your own?"

Of course Yi Zhonghai wanted to, but he didn't have the ability. "Of course I want to, but we're both so old. If you get pregnant and have a child, there will definitely be huge risks. Besides, I, I don't have the ability to do it."

Yi Zhonghai tried to persuade his wife, although it was a bit embarrassing but there was no other way.

Aunt Wu remained silent. Although they were both in their forties and having children was certainly risky, she was willing to take it if it meant having a biological child. She had also heard stories of old clams carrying pearls. If others could do it, why couldn't she?

Besides, how could she not know whether Yi Zhonghai was capable or not? Although the time was a little short, the hardness was not enough, and it was even a little shriveled, but that was not a problem.

Aunt Wu made up her mind to go for a physical examination.

Aunt Wu lay down to rest.

Yi Zhonghai couldn't fall asleep for a long time. He didn't move, just lay quietly on the bed, his head in a mess.

In the middle of the night, Yi Zhonghai got up and hid all the money and passbooks in the house.

……

It was dawn and Yi Zhonghai fell asleep.

That is to say, the steel rolling mill now starts working late, at 9:30, which gave Yi Zhonghai some time to catch up on his sleep, but he still didn't sleep well.

Seeing Yi Zhonghai's depressed state, Jia Dongxu, as a representative of a good disciple, took the initiative to ask, "Master, what's wrong with you? Didn't you sleep well last night?"

Yi Zhonghai closed his eyes and yawned, "I didn't sleep at all. I only slept for a few hours after dawn."

"What's wrong, Master? What's the matter?"

"It's nothing. It's all because of the Zhao family's troubles. Your mistress insisted on following Wang Jia's example and going to the hospital for a checkup. Don't you think this is just nonsense?"

Yi Zhonghai seemed to be complaining, "We are both so old, and having a child is too dangerous, so I advised her not to make a fuss, but alas."

Jia Dongxu really wanted to slap himself twice. Why was he asking this when he had nothing to do?

You know, what has been said to the outside world has always been that Aunt Wu is infertile. If it is really found out that there is nothing wrong with Aunt Wu, but it is Yi Zhonghai's problem, then Yi Zhonghai will be completely embarrassed.

However, Jia Dongxu estimated that even if his master's wife really went to the hospital for a check-up and found nothing wrong, Yi Zhonghai would not go.

On the other side, Aunt Wu sat on a chair with a trace of worry between her brows. After Yi Zhonghai left, she looked for money at home, but after searching everywhere where she kept her money and passbooks, she didn't find a single penny.

This also made her realize that Yi Zhonghai really didn't want her to go to the hospital.

But why?

She was also thinking about this family. She also wanted to continue the Yi family's lineage. If she continued like this, she would have the face to see her ancestors.

Most importantly, she really wanted to have a child of her own.

And there was an idea that she had not dared to think about before, or had thought about it but never thought about it deeply, which was whether Yi Zhonghai could have children?

Aunt Wu is a traditional woman who accepts the traditional idea that if she marries Yi Zhonghai, she will follow him wherever he wants. If she marries Yi Zhonghai, she will listen to him and live with him forever, unless he doesn't want her anymore.

So she and Yi Zhonghai had no children after they got married. She thought it was because her belly was not functioning well and never suspected that it was Yi Zhonghai's problem.

Because this is the education she received since childhood, it seems that not having children is always the woman's fault.

After liberation, she occasionally heard that having a child was also related to the man. She subconsciously disagreed with this statement, but the idea still occurred to her.

Aunt Wu shook her head and cleared her mind of all the random thoughts. The most urgent thing was to find the money and then go to the hospital for a check-up.

Just when Aunt Wu was worrying about money, Xu Damao staggered to the Intermediate Court. He did not go to work today, and even if he went to the steel mill, he didn't know what to do.

Without any mission to go to the countryside, he usually just brags and chats in the office, but now everyone talks about food every three sentences and every five sentences are about the lack of food at home.

Xu Damao gave the section chief a small gift in exchange for a long-term assignment to collect materials. After all, Xu Damao had Deputy Director Li's support, the aura of an excellent citizen, and was polite, so naturally no one would deliberately embarrass him.

Look, Xu Damao slept in today and didn't get up until noon, then went to the middle courtyard to wash up.

Xu Damao tilted his head back to clean the toothpaste foam in his mouth, then spat it out.

After wiping his mouth, he looked up and saw Aunt Wu with an expression that said "I'm worried" written on her face.

"Is this the opportunity?"

Xu Damao perked up, quickly washed his face and returned to the backyard.

Immediately afterwards, Xu Damao helped Lou Xiao'e out from the backyard. Lou Xiao'e's belly was already very big.

"Da Mao, why do we have to go to the hospital for a check-up today? Isn't it still half a month away?" Lou Xiao'e didn't understand why Xu Damao was in such a hurry to drag her to the hospital for a check-up.

"Nothing, I just had a dream last night, and God told me I had to go to the hospital today."

Xu Damao made up a story.

Arriving at the middle courtyard, Xu Damao stopped and chatted with the neighbors there. He showed no sign of being anxious to get Lou Xiaoe to the hospital, which further confused Lou Xiaoe, who was still in the dark.

Slowly, Xu Damao came to Aunt Wu's side.

"Aunt Wu, are you sewing clothes here?"

"Well, Damao, you're not going to work today?" Although Aunt Wu didn't understand why Xu Damao would greet her, out of politeness, she still responded to Xu Damao.

"My work doesn't allow me to go to the countryside right now, so I can only show movies for us in the city." Xu Damao said with a smile, "I asked my boss for leave today and took Xiao'e to the hospital to ask the doctor if there are any precautions. It's our first time as a parent, and we don't know anything."

"Da Mao, are you going to the hospital?"

Aunt Wu grasped the key point.

Xu Damao pretended to be confused and said, "Yeah. What's wrong?"

"It's nothing, just... Damao, can auntie go with you? I'm not feeling well. You know, I have to take medicine every month." Auntie Wu was a little nervous. She didn't know whether Xu Damao would agree. The relationship between their two families was not good.

"No problem, it's not a big deal. You just don't have money to see a doctor, so how can I ignore you? We are all neighbors living under the same roof."

With Xu Damao's enthusiastic help, Aunt Wu received money for a physical examination.

Chapter 202 Physical Examination

"Da Mao, why did you lend money to Aunt Wu? Don't you have a problem with that family?"

In the hospital, Lou Xiao'e asked Xu Damao, she really didn't understand.

"Hehe, it's precisely because you're not willing to deal with me that you're lending money to Aunt Wu."

Xu Damao gave a wicked smile and then began to explain to Lou Xiaoe.

"So Aunt Wu is here to check if she can have children?"

Lou Xiao'e was surprised to hear Xu Damao's words. Because they were both in the backyard, she had witnessed Wang Jia being bullied by her mother-in-law because she hadn't conceived yet. This made her realize the importance of having children.

"Okay, wait here for me, I'll make a phone call." After Xu Damao helped Lou Xiao'e sit down, he borrowed the hospital's phone to notify Jiang Fan.

After Jiang Fan learned about this, he took out Yi Zhonghai's inspection report from his space. How could he make it appear in the courtyard? After all, this piece of paper had been through almost a year of ups and downs.

On the other side, Aunt Wu came to the gynecologist.

"Comrade, please sit down. Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

The gynecologist was a woman in her forties, which made Aunt Wu feel relieved. She had seen many male doctors and was afraid that the gynecologist would be the same.

Fortunately, it was a woman. If it was a man, she really didn't know whether to have a physical examination. Although it is wrong to avoid seeing a doctor when you are ill, there are differences between men and women.

After Aunt Wu sat down, she thought for a moment and asked, "Doctor, I want to ask you, is the inability to have children a woman's problem?"

Xu Fang's expression became serious. As a woman and a gynecologist, she was well aware of people's current ignorant understanding of childbirth.

"Comrade, your idea is absolutely wrong. Having a child is a matter of both parties..."

Xu Fang began to explain the issue to Wu Chunhua from a scientific perspective. Although Wu Chunhua didn't understand much, she understood one thing: whether or not she could have children wasn't just a personal issue.

"Can you tell me your problem now?"

"Well, here's the thing: I married my husband..."

After hearing Wu Chunhua's experience, Xu Fang was 80% certain that Yi Zhonghai had a problem. However, she hesitated to jump to conclusions, as medical science requires rigor.

"If you don't have any children yet and there's nothing wrong with you, then the problem can only be with your husband. Let me give you a checkup first. This test can give you a preliminary estimate of your fertility. But it's best to bring your husband along for the checkup."

……

In the hospital, Jiang Fan, Xu Damao and Lou Xiaoe were eating boxed lunches together.

"Are you two comfortable staying in the hospital instead of going home after the examination?"

Jiang Fan wiped his mouth. He had just taken a leave from the factory and came to the hospital, intending to find the right opportunity to deliver Yi Zhonghai's examination report to Wu Chunhua.

When he arrived at the gynecology department, he saw Xu Damao and Lou Xiao'e, who had not yet left. The couple even gave him a meal.

"How can we know if Aunt Wu is okay if we don't stay here?" Xu Damao picked up a piece of food for Lou Xiao'e. "Besides, why did you come to the hospital? Just to watch the show?"

Looking at the two people showing affection in front of him, Jiang Fan's left corner of his mouth slightly raised. "Of course not, how could I be so boring."

Jiang Fan took out a folded piece of paper from his pocket and threw it to Xu Damao.

"What is that?" Xu Damao opened it and felt it looked familiar. He looked down and saw that it was an inspection report. He had also done one.

He looked at the name again, "Yi Zhonghai? This is his physical examination report?" Xu Damao was a little surprised, "So the one who can't have children is really Yi Zhonghai?"

Lou Xiao'e took the paper and looked at it. "This report is almost a year old. Where did you get it, Jiang Fan?"

"Well, I remember it was one evening. Damao went to have dinner with Director Li and Master Fan. I was just hanging around the door. I don't know how this paper floated in front of my eyes. Within two minutes, Damao was holding onto the wall."

"Ah, ah, ah." Xu Damao quickly raised his hand to interrupt Jiang Fan. If he continued talking, all his little troubles would be revealed.

"That's quite a coincidence. I was wondering why you were so sure that Yi Zhonghai couldn't have children. It turns out you already had this report."

Xu Damao forced himself to change the subject; he had already seen the confusion in Lou Xiaoe's eyes.

Jiang Fan didn't expose him. He rolled his eyes at him and said, "Ever since I got this thing, I've never had a suitable opportunity to expose it to him. This piece of paper won't embarrass Yi Zhonghai. Only by letting Aunt Wu know that Yi Zhonghai is the reason they don't have children can it be solved. So it's been put aside."

Jiang Fan sneered, "It wasn't until a few days ago when Yi Zhonghai organized the entire hospital to buy food with the intention of harming us that I came up with this idea. Plus, the Zhao family incident also helped, hehe."

"You laugh like a bad guy, but so do I." Xu Damao and Jiang Fan both laughed.

This shocked Lou Xiao'e who was standing by. She knew that Xu Damao was not a very upright person, but she did not expect that Jiang Fan, who looked like a gentleman on weekdays, was actually so evil.

"Xiao E, this is your first day seeing him like this. I told you a long time ago that he's not a good person, but you still didn't believe me."

Jiang Fan ignored Xu Damao's slander, but discussed with him how to reasonably get the paper to Aunt Wu.
