My Wife Is A Miracle Doctor In The 80s

Chapter 604: Chapter 596: The Painful Cost of Medicine Chapter 604: Chapter 596: The Painful Cost of Medicine “Alright then,” the middle-aged woman sighed.

“Your family really is pitiful.

Having a grandson would give you old folks something to look forward to.”

“Isn’t that the truth,” the old Lady Song was at peace thinking about the chubby grandson she’d soon hold in her arms.

Today seemed brighter, the path wider, and life was looking up.

“Big sister…” Old Lady Song hurriedly grabbed the middle-aged woman’s hand.

“Please, give me the medicine.

I won’t forget your kindness if I have a grandson.

I’ll definitely repay you well.”

“Listen to you,” she reassured, patting the old woman’s hand.

“We’re neighbors from Jiefang Street.

Of course, I’ll help if I can.

Don’t worry, this medicine is a secret recipe passed down in my family.

As long as we have the right ingredients, it’s guaranteed to work.”

The two elderly women talked about grandsons and the medicine, building up the non-existent grandson as something extraordinary.

They even picked out a name for him.

“You’re a lucky one,” the middle-aged woman said while making a stuffed pancake.

“Your grandson will surely bring fortune your way.

Once he gets into university, your ancestors would be proud.

We never had a university graduate from these rundown hills, your grandson would be the first in our village.”

Such flattery made Old Lady Song beam with pride.

She was now so elated, she hardly knew which way was up.

“Big sister, how much does your medicine cost?

I’ll give you the money right away.”

Old Lady Song wished to get the medicine as soon as possible, money was not an issue.

The initial purchase of Tang Yuxin for 500 yuan still pained her heart.

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.

Now, however, she did not mind spending money.

She was willing to give all her savings, even if it meant being indebted to someone else.

No one knew how much they talked about the price, but the two of them were still murmuring.

Listening to their conversation, a slight sneer appeared at the corner of Tang Yuxin’s lips.

This mother-daughter pair was obviously here to scam money.

As for the secret formula for having a son, she didn’t believe it at all.

No matter what kind of medicine it was, she didn’t think it would work.

The men in the Song family, both old Mr.

Song and Song Dashu, were presently eunuchs.

As for the so-called fertility formula, besides being an aphrodisiac, what else could it be, she wondered?

Otherwise, it would just be some wild grass or tree bark that looks like medicine but isn’t.

If such medicine really existed, why were there so many women praying for sons and daughters throughout history?

Not just in the ancient times, but even in modern day, infertility is a global problem.

It’s not something a couple of wild herbs can cure.

Furthermore, it doesn’t guarantee a son.

This is absurd — why don’t they claim to be godsend while they’re at it?

She didn’t believe there was a way to make a eunuch father a child.

Old Lady Song took out 300 yuan from her home and handed it over to the middle-aged women, who was Old Lady Sun.

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.

It was money.

300 yuan worth.

She could buy a life with 500 yuan, and with an additional 300, she might have been able to buy another.

But, the thought of the chubby, fair grandson her hands would soon be holding eased her mind.

If someone could give her a grandson, it would be worth it even if it cost her 300 or even 900 yuan.

Only then did Old Lady Sun carefully take out a paper package from her person and hand it to Old Lady Song.

She viewed the package in her hands from different angles before finally softly instructing Old Lady Song.

“Sister-in-law, keep this medicine safe.”

Old Lady Song nodded repeatedly.

How could she not keep it safe?

This was worth 300 yuan!

“How do I use this medicine?”.

She carefully put the medicine away.

If she lost it, she’d be heartbroken.

She didn’t just lose the medicine, she’d lose the money, her grandson.

“Let me tell you…” Old Lady Sun whispered something in Old Lady Song’s ear.

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.

Tang Yuxin’s guess was accurate.

The son-birthing secret formula Old Lady Sun gave Old Lady Song was an aphrodisiac.

With this, one could conceive, right?

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.

No matter how many aphrodisiacs he consumed, his sexual function was no longer available.

“Son, drink this.”

Old Lady Song placed a big bowl in front of Song Dashu.

“What?”

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.

“Son, please drink this, it’s a good medicine.”

Old Lady Song wouldn’t let Song Dashu leave.

This bowl held a medication that cost her 300 yuan.

If he didn’t drink it, her money would go to waste, she would most likely pass away without seeing her grandson.

“I won’t drink it.”

Song Dashu pushed the bowl away.

“It smells so bad.

I’m not drinking it.”

He crinkled his nose and made a disgusted face.

“Son, if you drink this, mom will give you ten yuan, okay?”

Old Lady Song coaxed her silly son and, finally gathering her courage, even promised to give him money.

Though Song Dashu was a simpleton, he wasn’t stupid, he knew the value of money.

He would give it to Youtao and in return Youtao would be happy and play with him.

And Old Lady Song knew, that if she gave him the money, he would hand it over to the wretched woman.

However, she had no choice.

She would give him the money, as long as he drank the potion.

When Song Dashu heard his mother mention money, he picked up the bowl and took a sip.

The bitterness made him pull a face.

Initially, he wanted to throw the bowl away.

However, remembering the ten yuan, he picked up the bowl again and swallowed the remaining medicine in one gulp.

He then slammed the bowl on the table and wiped his mouth.

He then extended his hand towards Old Lady Song.
