Douluo's Blue Silver Family

Chapter 273 Daily Life

Since Yuan Changqing passed on the cultivation technique to his family, he often explained it to his parents and Zeng Li. Of course, he only explained what he knew. If he encountered something he didn't understand, Yuan Changqing would mark it.

Time passed quickly, and Zeng Li's belly grew bigger and bigger, and her due date was not far off.

Moreover, Yan Jiecheng got married before Yuan Changqing, but Yu Li still hasn't conceived, which is making the Third Aunt very anxious.

As for why the three aunts were in such a hurry, it's because Yuan Changqing's mother, Jiang Fen, can now show off in front of the three aunts.

Women of this era really loved gossip and showing off, just like how the third auntie bragged to Jiang Fen about Yan Jiecheng finding a partner.

However, now it's Jiang Fen's turn to brag to the three aunts that she's about to have a grandson, which is why the three aunts are so anxious.

As a result, the third aunt often urged Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li to get pregnant as soon as possible, which made the couple very miserable.

After Yu Li got tired of being talked to, she came to Zeng Li to complain about the unpleasant things that happened at Uncle San's house.

Sure enough, here she is again today. When Yuan Changqing got home from get off work, he saw Yu Li complaining nonstop.

As expected, Yuan Changqing heard this, and it was about the child again. He had heard this kind of talk many times before.

Another issue is that Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li now have to pay their living expenses and a portion of their wages to their third uncle, which makes them hesitant to have children.

In fact, Yu Li also wanted to get pregnant and had been trying for a while, but even after so long, she still couldn't conceive.

That's why the three aunts urged Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li to have a child so frequently.

At this moment, Yu Li said again, "Zeng Li, I really envy you. You found such a good husband like Yuan Changqing, unlike my husband, who is like a yes-man at home, a good-for-nothing."

Zeng Li also looked happy and said, "Yu Li, since Auntie is so eager for you to have a child, why don't you just have one?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Li looked distressed and said, "Zeng Li, it's not like I haven't told you that Yan Jiecheng and I have tried, but even if we can't get pregnant, there's still no progress."

"Furthermore, my mother-in-law even found some folk remedies for me, but they still didn't work after I took them!"

Yuan Changqing then said, "I was wondering why there was a smell of Chinese medicine coming from your house lately. It turns out it was the folk remedy that Third Aunt found for you."

"However, Yu Li, if you ask me, you should drink less of those things. After all, traditional Chinese medicine is all about treating the symptoms and prescribing the right medicine for each person."

"Besides, I think you should understand the principle that every medicine has some degree of toxicity. Drinking those things indiscriminately without knowing the benefits won't do you much good."

Yuan Changqing also knew traditional Chinese medicine and didn't really believe in those folk remedies, so he gave Yu Li a heads-up.

After hearing this, Yu Li felt a little scared and decided that she would never listen to Auntie San again and drink those weird folk remedies.

Yu Li then said, "So what's wrong with me? Why can't I get pregnant?"

Yuan Changqing then said, "Yu Li, since you and Yan Jiecheng haven't gotten pregnant after so long, I think you two should go to the hospital for a checkup. It's nothing to be ashamed of; we should trust science."

"Furthermore, it doesn't necessarily mean there's a problem with your health; it could also be due to malnutrition."

"So, the sooner the problem is detected and treated, the sooner you can get pregnant, and Auntie will probably stop pressuring you like this."

Yu Li also thought about her husband's family situation and, regarding the issue of food, felt that it should be the nutrition problem that Yuan Changqing mentioned.

After all, Yu Li knew Yan Jiecheng best. Every time they did something, it would end too early, which clearly indicated a big problem.

Then Yu Li nodded and said, "It seems that Yan Jiecheng and I really need to take some time to go to the hospital for a check-up to see whose problem it is."

As she said this, Yu Li's tone became somewhat angry. After all, the third aunt had always thought it was Yu Li's fault; otherwise, she wouldn't have brought back those folk remedies for Yu Li to drink.

Yuan Changqing could guess this too, just like Xu Damao in the backyard, they both believed that if a woman didn't get pregnant, it was the woman's problem.

Moreover, Xu Damao's house often smelled of Chinese medicine, all thanks to folk remedies that Xu Damao's mother had found, which his third aunt also followed suit.

Every time Xu Damao and Shazhu got into trouble, Xu Damao would say that Shazhu was a bachelor, and Shazhu's retaliatory methods, besides fists and feet, included saying that Xu Damao's chickens didn't lay eggs, which caused quite a few laughs in the courtyard.

...

A few days later, loud arguments were heard coming from Uncle San's house, and people in the courtyard began to come to the front yard to watch the commotion.

"Separate the family? Why do you want to separate the family? Jiecheng, do you think you're all grown up now that you're married, and that your father can't control you anymore? I don't agree to your idea of ​​separating the family." The Third Uncle's voice came from inside the house.

Yu Li's voice came out again: "It's fine if we don't separate, but if you want to have a grandson, you need to ensure our nutrition. We went to the hospital for a checkup this time, and the results showed that our inability to conceive is due to long-term malnutrition."

At this point, the onlookers finally understood what was causing the commotion at Uncle San's house.

Even though Sha Zhu was a reckless and unruly person, after hearing this, he started making a fuss outside, shouting, "Third Uncle, I think you should give Brother Jie Cheng a good boost, otherwise, you can forget about holding your grandson."

"Hahaha." Immediately, the onlookers in the front yard burst into laughter.

Just then, Uncle San heard Sha Zhu's voice, opened the door and came out. Good heavens, he was shocked to see that so many people had gathered in the yard, watching the spectacle unfold at his house.

The old man was immediately embarrassed.

Fortunately, the Third Uncle had already developed a thick skin and said, "Go away, you silly Zhu. I was wondering why you're everywhere. This is a matter for the Yan family, it has nothing to do with you."

Sha Zhu grinned and said, "Third Uncle, that's not right. I'm not just concerned about my brother Jie Cheng, but also so that your Yan family can have a grandson soon."

"Besides, I didn't say anything wrong, did I? If you don't believe me, ask everyone. Do you think what I said makes sense?"

"That's right, Sha Zhu wasn't wrong this time."

"Yeah, Sha Zhu finally did something worthwhile this time."

"Even so, Third Uncle, I've decided that Sha Zhu is right. If you want to have a grandson, you should improve your family's diet. Look how thin everyone in your family has become."

"..."

Seeing everyone agreeing with Sha Zhu's words, the third uncle stood there dumbfounded, not knowing how to refute them.

Having gained everyone's approval, Sha Zhu became even more smug.

So, Sha Zhu said smugly, "How about it, Third Uncle? You see, the eyes of the masses are discerning. I think you should listen to everyone's opinions. If you don't want to reconcile with the Jie Cheng brothers and separate the family, you should give the Jie Cheng brothers and their spouses a good meal. That way, you can hold your grandson sooner, hehe!"

The third uncle could only wave his hand to shoo away Sha Zhu like a fly, and then said, "Go away, Sha Zhu, it's easy for you to talk when you're not in the same boat. Do you think everyone's family is like yours, where you're the only one who has nothing to worry about? Our family's situation is not comparable to yours."

"So, if you don't understand the situation, don't come here to cause trouble."

"Yes, each family's situation is different."

"What the Third Uncle said makes sense."

"Indeed, it's not easy for Uncle San's family with so many people."

"..."

At this point, the fickle bystanders sided with the third uncle again.

"Hey, and now this is my fault? You don't appreciate my kindness. I'm too lazy to bother with your mess!" Sha Zhu said with a displeased look, and then went back to the central courtyard.

"Alright, everyone, go home now." After seeing Sha Zhu lead the way and leave, the Third Uncle quickly said to the people who were enjoying the show.

At this point, seeing that there was no more excitement to be had, the residents of the courtyard all went home.

After everyone left, Uncle San breathed a sigh of relief. The incident caused by Yan Jiecheng and his wife today had made Uncle San lose face greatly, severely damaging his prestige as the head of the courtyard house.

However, the third uncle remembered what Yu Li had said before about being unable to conceive due to malnutrition, and he looked conflicted. After today's commotion, it seemed that bleeding was inevitable.

"Sigh!" The third uncle sighed deeply, and in his heart he gave in.

In order to have a grandson and to carry on the Yan family line, the Third Uncle had no choice but to compromise.

Finally, after Yu Li and Yan Jiecheng's commotion, the matter ended with the Third Uncle's defeat.

...

Around 5 a.m.

"Changqing, my stomach hurts so much, it looks like I'm going into labor." Zeng Li woke up in pain and quickly woke Yuan Changqing.

Upon waking up and hearing Zeng Li's words, Yuan Changqing quickly turned on the light and hurriedly put on his clothes, saying, "Wife, hang in there, I'll go get Mom and Dad to help."

"Mom and Dad, get up quickly, Zeng Li is about to give birth!" Yuan Changqing hurriedly went to call Yuan Dongfang and Jiang Fen.

After a flurry of activity, Yuan Changqing lifted Zeng Li onto a covered cart, and then, together with Jiang Fen and Yuan Dongfang, pushed the cart to take Zeng Li to the hospital.

Upon arriving at the hospital, Zeng Li was quickly taken to the delivery room, while Yuan Changqing paced back and forth in the corridor outside the delivery room.

Although Yuan Changqing had experienced something similar in the previous world, he was just as nervous now.

All that could be heard from inside the delivery room were Zeng Li's cries of pain during childbirth, which made Yuan Changqing, who was in the delivery room, very worried.

"Wow wow wow!"

A few hours later, the sound of the baby crying after birth finally put Yuan Changqing's mind at ease.

Yuan Changqing then rushed to the door of the delivery room. Shortly after, a nurse opened the door and asked, "Are you the mother's family?"

Yuan Changqing nodded quickly and asked, "Nurse, how are my wife and child?"

"Don't worry, comrades, the mother and baby are both fine. You can go in and see them now," the nurse said.

Jiang Fen then asked, "Nurse, is the baby a boy or a girl?"

"It's a girl."

When Jiang Fen heard this, she was still a little disappointed, but she quickly recovered. She thought that Yuan Changqing and Zeng Li were still young and could have more children in the future, so she went into the delivery room with them.

"Wife, are you alright now?" Yuan Changqing asked with concern.

At this moment, Zeng Li's hair was wet with sweat from childbirth, and her face was still damp with sweat and pale.

Zeng Li felt very disappointed when she thought about having given birth to a daughter, and then said with self-blame, "Husband, I'm sorry I didn't give you a son."

Yuan Changqing comforted her, "Honey, it's okay. Actually, I think our daughter is better. I like our daughter too. They say a daughter is a father's little cotton-padded jacket, so don't be unhappy about this."

"Yes, thank you, husband. Now, please name our daughter," Zeng Li said emotionally.

Yuan Changqing had already decided on a name, and at this moment he blurted out, "How about Yuan Yue'er?"

"Hmm, this is a good name, it sounds nice and is easy to remember," Jiang Fen said at this moment.

After hugging Yuan Yue'er, he said, "Changqing, you stay at the hospital and take care of Zeng Li and Yue'er. Your father and I will go back and make some chicken soup for Zeng Li to help him recover."

"Okay, I will take good care of Zeng Li and Yue'er," Yuan Changqing replied.

After Zeng Li was observed in the hospital for three days, Yuan Changqing pushed Zeng Li and her daughter Yuan Yue'er back to the courtyard house on a handcart.

After returning to the courtyard house, Yuan Changqing heard his mother, Jiang Fen, say that some people in the courtyard were gloating, saying that Zeng Li had only arranged a daughter for Yuan Changqing.

Without asking, Yuan Changqing knew who they were; this courtyard was simply a case of a small temple with a lot of evil spirits.

However, Yuan Changqing didn't care about those things. Let them say what they want; their mouths are their own. Even if they said some sarcastic things, it wouldn't hurt him.
