After being jilted, the entire neighboring village was filled with deep regret.

Chapter 107 Su Tai is Pregnant
Zhou agreed wholeheartedly, and his attitude towards Ma Yuqing improved considerably.

The Mo family, having received the money, left the Ma residence without lingering.

"Father, Mother's eyes still need to see a doctor," Mo Erli said.

Old Mo nodded and sighed, "Let's go! To the clinic. I wonder if it's open during the New Year."

At the same time, Shen Yi and his group had just arrived at Doctor Li's house.

Dr. Li's wife has passed away, his sons have all started their own families, and his grandsons are all grown up and no longer live together.

He lives alone, and it's very quiet during the Lunar New Year.

They were a little surprised to see Shen Yi at the door. "What brings you here? You can't go to the doctor during the New Year!"

Shen Yi was somewhat embarrassed, not expecting that Madam Han had come to see Doctor Li.

Han chuckled and deftly carried her things into the courtyard. "Dr. Li, we came here specifically to wish you a Happy New Year. The rest was just something we did on the side."

Doctor Li immediately understood Han's implied meaning. He invited the three of them into the house and looked at Han, asking, "Is there something you can't say?"

Shen Yi thought that Madam Han wanted to see a doctor, so he quickly excused himself and went to the courtyard to help Doctor Li chop firewood.

Taking the opportunity, Madam Han said, "Dr. Li, it's not me, it's my daughter. She's been married for several months, but there's still no sign of pregnancy. Could you please take a look?"

Doctor Li was not surprised and said to Su Tai, "Extend your hand, let me take your pulse."

Su Tai obediently threw the clothes off her wrist, cooperating and well-behaved.

Doctor Li couldn't help but smile and began to carefully take her pulse. After a few breaths, he released her hand and had Su Tai switch to her other hand.

Han was so nervous her heart was pounding in her throat. "W-how is it?"

Doctor Li chuckled, but did not answer Han. Instead, he picked up his pen to write a prescription and said slowly, "It's still early in the month, and your pulse is not clear. Come to the clinic again in a month to have your pulse checked. I will prescribe some mild and nourishing herbal medicine for you. Just drink it for a few days and get some rest."

Su Tai and Han Shi both looked shocked.

"Dr. Li, is my daughter pregnant?"

"Otherwise what?" Doctor Li shook his head speechlessly. "The young couple is careless, and Shen Yi doesn't have any elders watching over him. Luckily, you, as his mother, are attentive."

Dr. Li knew about Shen Yi's condition and couldn't help but offer a few more words of advice.

Han was overjoyed and kept nodding in agreement, even more so than Su Tai, the pregnant woman.

After giving his instructions, Dr. Li personally escorted the mother and daughter out.

When the three arrived in the courtyard, Shen Yi immediately put down his axe and came over, intending to pay the consultation fee.

Dr. Li reached out to stop him, saying, "We agreed that today is for New Year's greetings, not for medical treatment. There's no consultation fee. Go home and eat well, don't overwork yourself, it's nothing serious."

Shen Yi breathed a sigh of relief, quickly thanked them, and then left with Han Shi and Su Tai.

The three of them had just boarded the donkey cart when they unexpectedly ran into Mo Laotian and his group again.

Han didn't even give them a second glance before urging Shen Yi to leave quickly.

However, Xiong Kai's gaze kept inadvertently falling on Su Tai, his expression complicated. In Guan Shi's eyes, this meant that he still had feelings for Su Tai, which made her so angry that her only remaining eye turned red. "Pah! A hen that doesn't lay eggs, what's with all the arrogance!"

Old Mo frowned. "What are you cursing now?" "I'm cursing that slut from the Su family. She's clearly a barren hen, yet she claims to be blessed. She's always been one step ahead of our daughter. Humph! Once she makes the Shen family line end, we'll see who's truly blessed!" Guan cursed and mocked maliciously.

Old Mo frowned even more deeply. "You can't even take care of yourself now, yet you have time to meddle in other people's business! This is Doctor Li's house. You'd better speak to him properly later. I don't even know if you can save your eyes."

Guan's face darkened as she glared angrily at Mo Laotian. "It's all your fault! If you hadn't made me set off firecrackers, my eyes wouldn't have been injured! If I really go blind, you'll have to serve me for the rest of your life!"

Mo Laotian dared not argue with the furious Guan Shi and could only silently endure it.

Xiong Kai stepped forward expressionlessly and knocked on the door. He knocked several times in a row, and only opened the door when he figured the neighbors would come out to see what was going on.

Dr. Li glanced at Guan Shi lying on the cart, but in the end, his compassionate heart as a doctor prevailed over his emotions, and he let them into the house. He did so with a calm expression and did not say anything unnecessary to them.

Guan seemed oblivious to their predicament. Taking advantage of their numbers, she didn't mention her illness upon entering but instead inquired about Shen Yi and his group, asking, "Doctor, what illness did those three come to see us for?"

Doctor Li's face immediately darkened. "You woman are extremely rude. Don't you know any manners?"

Guan curled her lip, looking disdainful. "What kind of rules do we country folk have? If the doctor won't say, then he won't say. It must be some kind of shameful illness. Otherwise, why would he come here during the New Year?"

Dr. Li immediately stopped. "You're right. It's the New Year, and all the illnesses people get are shameful. You can leave now and come back after the New Year."

"Hiss!" Old Mo Tian was anxious and hurriedly apologized on behalf of Guan Shi, "Doctor, my wife's temper has become very strange since she injured her eye, and she doesn't speak very nicely. Please don't take it to heart."

"Is she sick and you sick too? Does she not know the rules and you don't either? She came in and started asking about patients' privacy. What does she want? If you're not going to see a doctor, get out!" Dr. Li got angry and had no intention of giving Old Man Mo any face.

Xiong Kai and the other two looked at each other, all frowning.

“Mother-in-law, it is a major taboo for doctors to inquire about other people’s illnesses. Please apologize to Doctor Li so that we can finish the consultation and go back quickly,” Xiong Kai said first.

The Mo brothers then joined in the persuasion.

Seeing that everyone was waiting for her to apologize, Guan was so angry that her face turned red. She was both ashamed and annoyed. It was also her who needed treatment, so she had no choice but to apologize.

In the end, she couldn't hold back and admitted her mistake, "Dr. Li, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have inquired about other people's medical conditions."

"Hmph!" Doctor Li snorted angrily, "You've made more than just this mistake! First of all, people come to me for medical treatment? What? Don't I have a few relatives and friends? They come to wish me a Happy New Year in good health, and instead they're cursed with illness. I'm already being very generous by letting you in!"
"And yet you all still don't know your place, speaking without any restraint. The old man doesn't even want to see you!"

Mo Laotian and the others then noticed the unopened kraft paper packages on the cabinet in the main room, and instantly blushed with embarrassment.

Guan's face turned pale, then red, then pale again. After all that fuss, the person hadn't come to see a doctor at all, yet Guan kept saying there was something wrong with them. It was as if she was the one who was sick, and she was just a joke.

Dr. Li only examined Guan's eyes after he had already dealt them a good blow, and his attitude was not very good throughout the examination.

Mo Laotian and the others could only endure it.

Guan spent one tael of silver just to get his medicine changed.

Mo Laotian suspected that Dr. Li was taking revenge, but they had already offended him, so they dared not question him when they went to see him for treatment in the future, and could only leave feeling frustrated.

On the other hand, let's look at the Han family's side.

Because Su Tai was pregnant, she was all smiles on her way back, even in the wind and snow.

Seeing this, Shen Yi thought his mother-in-law was seriously ill, and he didn't dare to ask her anything.

Su Tai, not wanting to be left out, didn't offer any explanation.

Shen Yi continued to misunderstand until he returned to the village.
