Chapter 742: Chapter 747: Treating Human Life as Grass
Granny Liu said resolutely, "You must save the child. If the child is lost, Ruo Lan won’t be able to go on living."
Wu Youcai then looked toward Liu Laosan. This was a matter of life and death, and it required the head of the family to make a decision.
Otherwise, if the child was born with any defects, it would be his fault again.
Just as Liu Laosan was about to speak, he was glared back into silence by Granny Liu.
With the heart of a parent, Wu Youcai could only persuade again, "This is no small matter; think it through."
Otherwise, the days of regret lay ahead.
"What do you mean? If you, as a doctor, don’t treat and save people, that’s one thing; but how can you still be intent on harming others? If you don’t save the child today, you can forget about being a doctor ever again!"
Granny Liu scolded with hands on her hips, looking as though she was facing a nemesis.
For Wu Youcai, her nemesis indeed, was thwarting her from earning silver.
Without the child, how could she demand silver from the Tan Family?
Madame Gu said irritably, "If my husband could cure all diseases, why would he still be a village doctor? He’d be a deity!"
Accompanying her husband to treat women, she would come along, as it was not convenient for Wu Youcai, a man, to be alone with them.
It was lucky he didn’t come today, otherwise her husband would have been bullied to death.
Wu Youcai tugged at Madame Gu’s sleeve, "Life and death are at stake; let’s go inside."
It was his mistake to have interfered in the first place.
Now the Liu family was counting on this child for their prosperity; how could they not want it?
"You can go if you want, but I won’t treat such heartless people!"
Madame Gu rolled her eyes and walked away.
Over the years, Wu Youcai practiced medicine in the village, thinking that life was hard for everyone, so he waived fees when he could.
Little did he expect to end up with a reputation for being indifferent to human life!
Wu Youcai touched his nose awkwardly, guessing he would have to play the grandson for a few more days once he got home.
Sigh, his wife too... how could she embarrass him in front of so many people?
But thankfully, he already knew the basic situation. He directly took out two Fetus Protection Pills and wrote a prescription.
"Follow this prescription when dispensing the medicine; boil it with three bowls of water until reduced to one bowl, and take it twice daily, morning and evening. She must also remain calm and must not overexert herself,"
Wu Youcai specifically instructed.
The pregnancy did not look good for this child, and if it wasn’t well-nurtured afterwards, it likely wouldn’t survive until birth.
As for that child... Hopefully, it’s a good one.
Because only when the child was born could Tan Zhenghong’s innocence be proven.
Upon receiving the note, Granny Liu said, "This child is Tan Zhenghong’s; ask them for the payment."
Wu Youcai looked troubled; how could he possibly ask for the medicine fee?
He had just been discussing this matter with Tan Zhenghong at home, and he was clear about the truth.
However, Tan Zhenghong had been drinking contraceptive herbal teas, which the villagers wouldn’t believe, as they couldn’t understand his reasoning.
Other families without sons would desperately try to have one, and those with sons would continue to have more, for ’the more sons, the more blessings.’
Where could you find someone like Tan Zhenghong, who, fearing his wife’s pain, didn’t want children?
On the other side, Tan Zhenghong and Qiao Duo’er had already discussed their strategy.
Ruo Lan had been pregnant for over two months; the timing fit.
Since no one would believe the truth about contraception, they would have to shoulder this matter for now.
"Today, in front of everyone, I will make myself clear. They slander me, saying this child is mine, I can’t explain otherwise; I can only wait for the child to be born for a blood test to determine paternity. If it’s mine, I will certainly take responsibility. If it’s not, I won’t pay a single Wen,"
Tan Zhenghong straightened his back, his every word resonating with force. 𝖓𝖔𝖛𝔭𝖚𝖇.𝔠𝖔𝔪
As a man, he would never shy away from his responsibilities.
