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?"
