Chapter 443: Chapter 443

"Doctor Jiang! We’ve been childless for so many years, and we really want a child. We can’t offer you any significant reward. We studied science and engineering, unrelated to your medical profession, and even if we wanted to help, we couldn’t."

Old Xiao was being truthful; he couldn’t deceive people.

If it works, it works; if it doesn’t, it doesn’t.

They would never do anything immoral like that.

Hearing Old Xiao, Ningshan felt he had done something wrong.

All he thought about was repaying a benefactor, forgetting about Old Xiao and his wife.

He didn’t mean to make things difficult for others.

"Doctor Jiang! Although Old Xiao and his wife..."

Jiang Xiaoxiao inquired about the condition in detail, checking medical records. There was no impatience or disdain, and her gentle demeanor calmed people easily.

Jiang Xiaoxiao stood up and, ten minutes later, brought out a cup.

"Mrs. Xiao, please drink it!"

Mrs. Xiao paused, bewildered, "Doctor Jiang! We can’t afford any proper payment, yet you’re willing to treat us?"

Earlier at the door, that was Wu Pingxuan, Mr. Wu’s daughter, and Jiang Xiaoxiao turned her away just like that, giving her no face.

What virtue or ability do they have now!

Jiang Xiaoxiao kindly indicated, "Drink it all, not a drop left!"

Mrs. Xiao drank it all in one gulp.

Jiang Xiaoxiao took the cup away, "You can go now, I still have things to do!"

They indeed had things to do.

It was definitely not about driving them away.

Old Xiao and his wife looked at each other, surprised that it was this simple. No need for them to plead, no need to humble themselves, with no demands—simplistic to the point of astonishment.

Ningshan knew in his heart that last time Doctor Jiang hadn’t asked for anything, not even a request. Everything was relaxed, and he hurriedly pulled Old Xiao and his wife to thank Doctor Jiang, "Thank you, Doctor Jiang, thank you, Doctor Jiang."

Gesturing to the Old Xiao couple, who wanted to say a few words of thanks, to follow him away.

Doctor Jiang is truly pleasant when she’s in a good mood, and he’s afraid when she gets irritable.

The three walked out, and Old Xiao and his wife felt uneasy; they have always helped others, and now they encounter someone who demands no return.

They just felt uncomfortable.

"People like Doctor Jiang are truly rare."

Old Xiao thought Wu Pingxuan was a fool, and the Wu family just spoke thoughtlessly.

It really changed his perspective.

He thought Doctor Jiang would be difficult to get along with, with a strange temper, completely unrelated to any rumors.

Ningshan laughed, "So now you know what Doctor Jiang is like! I’m telling you, Doctor Jiang is a good person, patient with others, and very strong, first-rate in treatment. You two go back and wait for good news properly.

I’m waiting to eat your red eggs."

Old Xiao blushed, thinking of the possibility of giving out red eggs at his age, he was overjoyed.

Wu Pingxuan returned home.

And Meng Ran was not there.

Xu Meng and Wu Pingjing were planning to take the old lady shopping together.

Wu Pingxuan wanted to go back as the old lady prepared things for her daughter.

Every time they left with bags.

Being the brother and sister-in-law, they wouldn’t be petty over such things, thinking about jealousy, the Wu family wasn’t short of money.

The three saw an angry Wu Pingxuan as soon as they went downstairs.

Xu Meng felt a pang in her heart, wondering if Wu Pingxuan had done something out of line again.

She didn’t agree to go with Wu Pingxuan, fearing this kind of outburst.

Wu Pingjing also felt apprehensive.

Everyone knew their sister’s temper.

"Little sister, why are you alone? Where’s your husband? Wasn’t he with you to see Doctor Jiang?"

Mrs. Wu paused upon hearing this.

To see Jiang Xiaoxiao?

She asked Wu Pingjing with her eyes.

"Mom, the Mr. Ning who went with my little sister to see Doctor Jiang last time, you know, is a good friend of Xu Meng and mine. He wanted a child for many years but never had one. After visiting, they heard the good news in this one month, supposedly twins.

My little sister and her husband were moved too and wanted to ask Doctor Jiang again, both went to her house today. I saw my little sister return alone, so I asked out of curiosity."

Hearing this, Mrs. Wu was sincerely happy. Her daughter, for so many years, never had a child, approaching forty.

In this era, she’s not even considered an advanced age mother; people gave birth at eighteen or twenty.

Many married at seventeen, disregarding the state’s marriage age regulations, holding banquets first and registering later.

This was common in both urban and rural areas.

Of course, the urban age was relatively higher.

Generally, at her daughter’s age of over forty, others had raised four or five children.

The old lady knew all along that childlessness was a pain for her daughter.

With medicine taken and doctors seen, there was no effect. Her son-in-law’s family line was single-passed.

If broken at her daughter’s end, the Wu family would feel deeply guilty.

Most importantly, her son-in-law is sincere; he never gave her daughter attitude for being childless, always comforting her. Even the Meng family parents didn’t force him to divorce, unlike others who would have their daughter request a divorce over this alone.

The Wu family had nothing to say.

Now with this opportunity, Mrs. Wu naturally felt happy.

"Xuanxuan, what’s going on? You’re making us all anxious here. You’re sitting there with that face—who offended you? And where is your husband, who went with you?"

Mrs. Wu sat beside her daughter.

Wu Pingxuan suddenly felt overwhelmed by sadness.

She cried out in the old lady’s arms.

The three in the living room remained silent.

"What’s going on? Speak your mind. How can crying explain anything? Us not knowing makes it harder. Did your husband argue with you? If he’s angry, so be it, you know Xiao Meng better than anyone. He only has a temper for a while.

He’ll come back to comfort and pamper you soon. When has he ever won an argument with you? You should appreciate a sincere husband like him. Don’t act like a high-born lady; a wife isn’t something to worship like a deity in a home.

Husband and wife must accommodate each other; if one only takes, no one can endure that for long. I’m speaking as a mother, not against you."

The old lady was being straightforward.

More than her daughter, she leaned towards her son-in-law.

Wu Pingxuan lifted her head, her eyes filled with tears.

"Mom, you don’t know. Today, because of that Doctor Jiang, Meng Ran wants a divorce. It’s all because of her. After I humbly begged, she acted superior, and after a few words, she had us thrown out.

Meng Ran sided with her. I think Meng Ran must have feelings for that Doctor Jiang, or why demand a divorce suddenly? I see Doctor Jiang as nothing but a vixen."
