282 The Truth
Yue Jiaojiao had also thought about this problem before, but at that time, she thought that since she recently passed 18 years old, she would be a little young to be giving birth.
Fortunately, her intuition told her that she didn’t need to worry too much, so she put this matter to the back of her mind.
“I have something to tell you.”
Seeing that she did not respond, Zhao Zhan felt a little nervous. “If we count the time, it should be when we were in Hekou County.”
“Is it related to Doctor Sun?”
“When Lizheng went to town today, I asked him to bring Doctor Sun back. I think he should be home by now.”
Yue Jiaojiao’s face was expressionless.
Zhao Zhan’s heart was in a mess. He put his hands on her shoulders and looked down at her. “Don’t get mad, alright?”
Yue Jiaojiao took a step back. Zhao Zhan’s hands missed. He clenched his fists and loosened them. He was extremely flustered.
“Jiaojiao…”
“My lady, Doctor Sun has returned.”
Madam Qin’s voice interrupted Zhao Zhan.
Yue Jiaojiao responded and strode toward the door.
Zhao Zhan hurriedly followed behind her.
Madam Qin, who was standing guard at the door, felt the tension in the room, and her heart thumped.
“Doctor Sun.”
Doctor Sun walked into the front courtyard with his medical kit when he saw Yue Jiaojiao and Zhao Zhan walking towards him. His gaze slightly focused and fell on Zhao Zhan.
Usually, when the two of them walked together, they would be attached at the hip. The current situation did not seem right.
Zhao Zhan lowered his head and did not respond under Doctor Sun’s gaze.
His lover was already angry. If he continued to communicate with Doctor Sun and hide it from her at this time, it would be purely on purpose.
‘This kid…” Doctor Sun muttered in his heart. He deliberated before asking, “What is it?”
“Doctor Sun, let’s go to the pharmacy and talk.”
There were a few empty rooms in the front yard, so Zhao Zhan tidied up the empty room next to Doctor Sun a few times and found a carpenter to make some medicinal herb cabinets to put inside.
He also went to fix up a fence and carved out a small area in front of the two houses to be used as a small courtyard. When Doctor Sun had nothing to do, he would come to this small courtyard to process medicinal herbs.
“You can wait for me at the pharmacy.” Doctor Sun nodded, then looked at Zhao Zhan. “Zhao Zhan, come and help me carry the medicine box. I’m really tired from carrying it all the way from the village entrance.”
Zhao Zhan looked at Yue Jiaojiao hesitantly.
Yue Jiaojiao’s heart was already blooming with joy, but her face was still cold and indifferent. However, her tone was still gentle as she said, “Doctor Sun is calling for your help. Go on.”
“Zhao Zhan, come quickly!”
Zhao Zhan’s eyes seemed to be glued to Yue Jiaojiao. He walked to Doctor Sun’s side and slung the first aid kit over his shoulder, his gaze never leaving her.
Yue Jiaojiao knew what was going on, so she didn’t wait for the two of them and walked straight to the pharmacy, deliberately leaving the two of them a chance to talk.
“Zhao Zhan,” As expected, Doctor Sun tugged at Zhao Zhan and asked in a low voice, “What happened?”
“Doctor Sun, no matter what Jiaojiao asks you later, just tell her as it is.” Zhao Zhan kept looking at Yue Jiaojiao’s back. “I wanted to tell Jiaojiao about the matter that I asked you for help in Hekou County, but I didn’t make it clear.”
“You!”
Doctor Sun smacked Zhao Zhan’s back.
“I’ve told you before, since you’re already married, who wouldn’t want to have children? You insisted on not listening to me, now look at where this got you.
“You must handle this well, if you let this matter slip, I’ll leave with an uneasy heart.”
Doctor Sun was a little angry after saying a few words. He snorted at Zhao Zhan with his hands behind his back and left in a huff.
Zhao Zhan followed behind him. The tall and burly man looked even more pitiful because of his short breath.
Chengfeng rolled back from the mountain, covered in mud. He followed Zhao Zhan and shook his head, then walked slowly with his head down like Zhao Zhan.
The man and the beast seemed to have suffered a great grievance.
Yue Jiaojiao, who was standing at the entrance of the pharmacy, almost couldn’t keep her expression straight when she saw the two of them walking over.
“How have you been…”
Doctor Sun’s tone was hesitant. “I would like to rest for a while. If there’s anything, we can talk later.”
“Doctor Sun, I would like you to take my pulse,” Yue Jiaojiao sat on a small folding stool in the courtyard.
“You may not know this, but there are more and more people in the village making things up about me. They say that my stomach hasn’t grown for more than half a year after I married Zhao Zhan.
“Can you help me take a look at my body and see if there’s anything I need to work on?”
Zhao Zhan squatted down beside Yue Jiaojiao, his face filled with anxiety when he heard her request. “Jiaojiao, there’s nothing wrong with your body. I was the one who asked Doctor Sun for a consultation.”
“Doctor Sun,” Yue Jiaojiao shook her wrist and deliberately interrupted Zhao Zhan’s words, “Sorry to trouble you.”
Doctor Sun placed two of his fingers on Yue Jiaojiao’s wrist and said, “Her pulse is stable, and there’s no loss in her energy and blood flow.”
“Then, Doctor Sun, please…”
“Alright, alright.” Doctor Sun couldn’t stand the atmosphere and waved his hand. “Your body is fine. You’re not pregnant because of this kid.” He pointed to Zhao Zhan.
“When we were in Hekou County, Zhao Zhan heard the discussion between Jiyan and I. According to my many years of medical experience, I don’t agree with women getting pregnant just because they have to be wives at such a young age.
“If a woman starts giving birth at the age of fifteen or sixteen and continues to give birth every few years, it’ll destroy the body.”
When Yue Jiaojiao heard this, she turned her head and glanced at Zhao Zhan.
Chengfeng let out a meowl as he watched Yue Jiaojiao. He wagged his tail and raised a front paw.
Zhao Zhan was afraid that it would beat him to it, so he directly held his lover’s hand.
Zhao Zhan’s heart relaxed a little when she didn’t reject his touch.
“After Zhao Zhan learned of this matter, he deliberately avoided you and came to me to ask for the contraceptive pill. He also wanted the strongest prescription I have, one that can prevent pregnancy for a year.”
“A contraceptive pill?” Yue Jiaojiao pulled her finger away and pretended to be shocked. “Isn’t this medicine extremely harmful to the body?” she asked.
“It’s alright, but there will be some unavoidable damages!”
Doctor Sun glared at Zhao Zhan from the corner of his eyes, his beard rising in anger. “I’ve explained to him clearly the damage to the body caused by this medicine, but he didn’t listen and insisted that I prescribe it for him.”
“It’s too late to regret it now,” Doctor Sun sighed heavily. “The contraceptive pill has been integrated into your energy and blood. I don’t have a way to cure it. Based on the number of days, after ten months, you must take two doses of medicine to recuperate. It won’t be a problem to have a child after.” Doctor Sun said. “Don’t get too sad. It’s all this boy’s fault! I was just following orders! Having an heir is a big matter! He did this behind your back, if you don’t give him a beating, it’ll be hard to appease my anger!”
