middle-aged woman sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Your family really is pitiful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having a grandson would give you old folks something to look forward to.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Isn’t that the truth,” the old Lady Song was at peace thinking about the chubby grandson she’d soon hold in her arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Today seemed brighter, the path wider, and life was looking up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Big sister…” Old Lady Song hurriedly grabbed the middle-aged woman’s hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Please, give me the medicine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I won’t forget your kindness if I have a grandson.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’ll definitely repay you well.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Listen to you,” she reassured, patting the old woman’s hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We’re neighbors from Jiefang Street.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, I’ll help if I can.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>ƝονǤᴑ.ᴄօ\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Don’t worry, this medicine is a secret recipe passed down in my family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as we have the right ingredients, it’s guaranteed to work.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two elderly women talked about grandsons and the medicine, building up the non-existent grandson as something extraordinary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They even picked out a name for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re a lucky one,” the middle-aged woman said while making a stuffed pancake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Your grandson will surely bring fortune your way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once he gets into university, your ancestors would be proud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We never had a university graduate from these rundown hills, your grandson would be the first in our village.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such flattery made Old Lady Song beam with pride.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was now so elated, she hardly knew which way was up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Big sister, how much does your medicine cost?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’ll give you the money right away.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Lady Song wished to get the medicine as soon as possible, money was not an issue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The initial purchase of Tang Yuxin for 500 yuan still pained her heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not just because Tang Yuxin turned out to be skinny, ugly, and mute, but the vast amount of money spent would hurt even if she turned out to be normal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, however, she did not mind spending money.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was willing to give all her savings, even if it meant being indebted to someone else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one knew how much they talked about the price, but the two of them were still murmuring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Listening to their conversation, a slight sneer appeared at the corner of Tang Yuxin’s lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This mother-daughter pair was obviously here to scam money.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the secret formula for having a son, she didn’t believe it at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter what kind of medicine it was, she didn’t think it would work.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The men in the Song family, both old Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song and Song Dashu, were presently eunuchs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the so-called fertility formula, besides being an aphrodisiac, what else could it be, she wondered?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, it would just be some wild grass or tree bark that looks like medicine but isn’t.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If such medicine really existed, why were there so many women praying for sons and daughters throughout history?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not just in the ancient times, but even in modern day, infertility is a global problem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s not something a couple of wild herbs can cure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Furthermore, it doesn’t guarantee a son.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is absurd — why don’t they claim to be godsend while they’re at it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn’t believe there was a way to make a eunuch father a child.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Lady Song took out 300 yuan from her home and handed it over to the middle-aged women, who was Old Lady Sun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn’t wince when paying but once the money was out of her hands, she felt an intense heartache, just as if someone was digging into her chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was money.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>300 yuan worth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She could buy a life with 500 yuan, and with an additional 300, she might have been able to buy another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But, the thought of the chubby, fair grandson her hands would soon be holding eased her mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If someone could give her a grandson, it would be worth it even if it cost her 300 or even 900 yuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only then did Old Lady Sun carefully take out a paper package from her person and hand it to Old Lady Song.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She viewed the package in her hands from different angles before finally softly instructing Old Lady Song.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sister-in-law, keep this medicine safe.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Lady Song nodded repeatedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could she not keep it safe?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was worth 300 yuan!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How do I use this medicine?”.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She carefully put the medicine away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If she lost it, she’d be heartbroken.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn’t just lose the medicine, she’d lose the money, her grandson.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let me tell you…” Old Lady Sun whispered something in Old Lady Song’s ear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With each word, Song would bob her head in understanding, keeping a note of every word, every sentence, afraid she might miss out on some crucial detail.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tang Yuxin’s guess was accurate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The son-birthing secret formula Old Lady Sun gave Old Lady Song was an aphrodisiac.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this, one could conceive, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, what both Old Lady Sun and Old Lady Song did not know was that Song Dashu was now a eunuch, with no sexual desires.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter how many aphrodisiacs he consumed, his sexual function was no longer available.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Son, drink this.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Lady Song placed a big bowl in front of Song Dashu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the sight of the blackish liquid in the bowl, and its offensive smell, Song Dashu cringed and was about to leave for some recreation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Son, please drink this, it’s a good medicine.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Lady Song wouldn’t let Song Dashu leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This bowl held a medication that cost her 300 yuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he didn’t drink it, her money would go to waste, she would most likely pass away without seeing her grandson.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I won’t drink it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Dashu pushed the bowl away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It smells so bad.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’m not drinking it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He crinkled his nose and made a disgusted face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Son, if you drink this, mom will give you ten yuan, okay?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Lady Song coaxed her silly son and, finally gathering her courage, even promised to give him money.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though Song Dashu was a simpleton, he wasn’t stupid, he knew the value of money.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He would give it to Youtao and in return Youtao would be happy and play with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Old Lady Song knew, that if she gave him the money, he would hand it over to the wretched woman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, she had no choice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She would give him the money, as long as he drank the potion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Song Dashu heard his mother mention money, he picked up the bowl and took a sip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bitterness made him pull a face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Initially, he wanted to throw the bowl away.\u003C\u002Fp>",1113,"2026-06-06T15:29:21.795Z",1,"novelbin.me","36fc1165f06eb2afe6389a825e946eb7d91cf98bfd2c59353cdd8f4bbd10dfad","my-wife-is-a-miracle-doctor-in-the-80s-chapter-605","my-wife-is-a-miracle-doctor-in-the-80s-chapter-603",1128,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fmy-wife-is-a-miracle-doctor-in-the-80s-cover.jpg"]
