Lin Zaozao cleared her throat and grasped Zhao Yingi's hand in Ruo Qiu's puzzled gaze.
"System, are you there?"
"Speak, host."
"System, can you help see if Zhao Yingi's inability to have children is due to her own issues?"
"That's right, she has congenital infertility and naturally cannot bear children."
"In that case, system, can this pain transference ability of mine help treat Zhao Yingi's infertility?"
"It can. This is a minor issue. You only need to transfer her pain fifty tis to cure her infertility."
"Alright, thank you system for clearing this up for ."
After thanking the system, Lin Zaozao mysteriously said,
"Zhao Yingi, I just took your pulse. There is a evil spirit in your body that has been absorbing your fate for offspring."
"An evil spirit! Lin Xiaohua, since you can detect that evil spirit, can you help banish it from my body?"
"Of course I can. However, Zhao Yingi, I'm no saint. I expect compensation for my services. After all, expelling this evil spirit will diminish my own good fortune."
As she spoke, Lin Zaozao gestured with her fingers, making it clear that she expected paynt.
"Lin Xiaohua, as long as you enable to conceive, I will pay you however much you ask. If that won't do, I can put up my current residence and my old house as your dical fees."
"I know where your current ho is, but where is this old house of yours?"
Lin Zaozao released Zhao Yingi's hand, intending to stand up and look around. But having squatted for so long, her legs had fallen asleep. With a thud, she plopped down on the ground.
"Little darling Ruo Qiu, co help up."
Seeing Lin Zaozao's ungraceful state sprawled on the ground, Ruo Qiu's lips curved up slightly. He walked over and scooped Lin Zaozao up into his arms.
Ruo Qiu's actions made Zhao Yingi's eyes pop out. This skinny beanpole of a son-in-law actually had the strength to lift up the plump Lin Xiaohua?
"Zhao Yingi, how dare you ogle my Ruo Qiu! Do you want to smother you with my butt?!"
After Ruo Qiu helped steady her on her feet, Lin Zaozao yelled fiercely at Zhao Yingi.
"Who's ogling him? I was amazed by his strength, that despite being so thin he could lift up a fat woman like you. That's why I looked at him."
"Enough, no more explaining. Your eyeballs were practically glued onto my Ruo Qiu just now.
Damn, Zhao Yingi. You already have twelve husbands, yet you're still so lustful. Can you handle that much action every night?"
"Whether I can handle it is none of your damn business." Zhao Yingi retorted with distaste.
"Zhao Yingi, I'm kindly warning you now as a high immortal. Beware of dying in a man's bed soday."
"Even if I die in a man's bed, what about you?!"
Zhao Yingi sized up Lin Zaozao disdainfully and said mockingly:
"Lin Xiaohua, from my experience judging n, your five husbands are probably all still virgins!"
Hearing Zhao Yingi's words, Lin Zaozao glanced back at Ruo Qiu up and down. Could he really still be a virgin?
Perhaps sensing the blatancy of Lin Zaozao's gaze, Ruo Qiu's expression instantly darkened. What was with that look in her eyes? Weren't they on the sa side against Zhao Yingi? How did they get derailed by that old woman's nonsense?
Noticing the resentnt in Ruo Qiu's face, Lin Zaozao swiftly composed her features back into solemnity.
She cleared her throat and asked Zhao Yingi gravely, "By the way, where exactly is your old house? Stand up and point it out to ."
"No need to point. My old house is right next to yours."
"Next to mine?!"
Lin Zaozao glanced back at her house's direction, then asked incredulously, "Zhao Yingi, the house next to mine really belonged to you before?"
"If it wasn't mine, whose could it have been? That's the ancestral ho my elders left . Impressive right?!"
Zhao Yingi rubbed her aching cheek, boasting arrogantly that her beautiful face must have swollen from the fat shrew's blows.
"Now now, Zhao Yingi, don't look at like that! I hit you because you were too lusty, blatantly flirting with my husbands over and over. So you deserved what you got.
Consider yourself lucky I didn't smother you to death with my butt. That just shows what a rciful goddess I am to have spared an old hag like you."
"Enough nonsense, Lin Zaozao. Now you know the location of my old house. I'm also willing to give that property to you. So can you guarantee that you can capture the evil spirit in my body and enable to conceive?"
Faced with Zhao Yingi's eager gaze, Lin Zaozao cleared her throat and declared mysteriously:
"Zhao Yingi, that evil spirit has been plaguing you for a very long ti. Expelling it can't be done overnight."
"How long would it take then, Lin Xiaohua? How much ti before I can have a child?"
Seeing the impatience in Zhao Yingi's eyes, Lin Zaozao's lips couldn't help but twitch. Why was Zhao Yingi in such a hurry to have kids?
She already had twelve doting husbands, spending her days happily with them. Wasn't that delightful enough? Why insist on having a brat that would turn her household upside down?
Although Lin Zaozao criticized internally, her face remained impassive as she grasped Zhao Yingi's wrist and declared solemnly:
"Zhao Yingi, I won't take your property for nothing. If I really enable you to have a child, sell your old house for market price. Deal?"
"No problem. My old house has been vacant for ages anyway. As long as you let have a baby, I'd be willing to sell it to you, even give it to you."
"Alright alright, I've heard enough. We'll pick this up tomorrow. Bring the title deed of your old house then so we can sign a contract first.
The contract ans that after I banish the evil spirit in you, you'll sell your house at market price."
Having said her piece, Lin Zaozao shook off Zhao Yingi's hand and walked off, pulling Ruo Qiu along by the hand back ho.
Although she got into a brawl today, it was still a fruitful outing. At the very least, her house purchasing matter was settled. Although that lustful Zhao Yingi was unpleasant, her property was rather desirable.
More importantly, she intended to live out her days in Luoshui Village. So avoiding enmity with Zhao Yingi was for the best.
"It shouldn't be Zhao Yingi's husband's fault that she's thirty-two and childless, right?" Ruo Qiu wondered aloud.
"Of course it's not their fault. Zhao Yingi herself has infertility issues."
"Then why didn't you just tell her straight out that the problem lies with her, not her husbands?"
Hearing Ruo Qiu's slight urgency, Lin Zaozao glanced back in surprise. Was Ruo Qiu standing up for Zhao Yingi's husbands?
Perhaps realizing his words ca out too hastily, Ruo Qiu asked casually to gloss it over:
"Lin Zaozao, if you end up unable to have children in the future, would you bla your husband?"
"Of course not. Ruo Qiu, I'll tell you this - even if I marry a husband I love in the future and can't have kids, it would be irrelevant to .
To be more specific, having no children would be even better for . I wouldn't want a child disturbing my sweet couple ti."
"Why is that? Don't all you won deeply desire having children? In Canglan Country, won inherit family businesses anyway. Don't you want a daughter to carry on yours?"
"Pah! Ruo Qiu, I'm so poor now that I can barely afford a pair of pants, let alone any kind of family business for a child to inherit!" Lin Zaozao scoffed.
"Besides, if we don't have kids in the future, Ruo Qiu and I can live a sweet, carefree life together as a couple. Wouldn't that be nice?"
"Is that so? Even without children, a husband and wife can still have a wonderful life together?"
"Of course! A child is the crystallization of love between a couple. Only when the parents love each other will the child born to them be happy. If a marriage is solely for the purpose of having kids, then what's the difference between that and pigs that only mate to reproduce?"
Lin Zaozao's words made the smile on Ruo Qiu's face freeze. He turned to look at her, wanting to see signs of dishonesty and unease in her eyes from her lies.
But after staring for a long ti, all Ruo Qiu saw in Lin Zaozao's eyes was sincerity.
He had been wrong all this ti.
It was him who kept using other people's mistakes to punish himself!
