Refusing to marry a widower, I went on a crazy spree of sending my children to the army.

Chapter 155 Accumulating blessings? More like creating misfortune!

Yan Chengke looked at Guo Youfeng in disbelief, feeling his head starting to spin again, and his body seemingly stirring restlessly.

She quickly averted her gaze, suppressing her discomfort: "You...you've thought it through?"

Guo Youfeng nodded: "Yes, let's try it. If it doesn't work, we'll split it again."

Yan Chengke agreed, but in his heart he was thinking that he would treat his wife well and would never give her a chance to leave him.

Qiao Manman smiled slightly, thinking that this was the only good outcome in this absurd situation.

I'm afraid the two kids won't be able to accept it.

Unexpectedly, Yan Xiaodou and Yan Xiaohua clapped their hands and cheered: "Is Aunt Youfeng going to be our mother?"

"Great news, brother (sister), we're going to have a mom!"

Mother Yan breathed a sigh of relief, patted her two children's heads, and instructed them, "You must take good care of your mother from now on!"

The two children nodded obediently, gladly accepting Guo Youfeng's addition.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and watched this heartwarming scene with satisfaction.

Qiao Manman took out a bag of peach shortbread from her pocket and handed it to the two of them.

The two children looked at her curiously. Yan Chengke introduced her, "This is Aunt Qiao. The lotus root starch that Dou Dou drank when she was hospitalized was a gift from her."

Yan's mother immediately expressed her gratitude, and even Yan Xiaodou obediently thanked her as well.

Qiao Manman stroked his head and asked, "Little Bean, if Aunt Feng gives birth to a younger brother or sister for you in the future, would you like it?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he sensed the tense and oppressive atmosphere in the ward.

Everyone was on tenterhooks, afraid that Qiao Manman's words would provoke Guo Youfeng.

Qiao Manman pretended not to notice and looked at Yan Xiaodou and Yan Xiaohua with gentle eyes: "And Xiaohua, do you want to be the older sister?"

Yan Xiaodou thought for a moment and asked, "Now that Aunt Feng has her own child, will she still like me and my sister?"

Qiao Manman couldn't answer the question and glanced at Guo Youfeng.

Guo Youfeng understood Qiao Manman's meaning and said with a smile, "As long as you treat your younger siblings well, your aunt will love you as much as she loves her own children!"

Yan Xiaodou smiled: "Okay!"

Yan Xiaohua was only three years old and didn't quite understand adult conversations. She nodded along with her brother, saying, "I want to be the older sister!"

Guo's parents held the two children in their arms, loving them like their own grandchildren.

Guo Jingyi glanced at Guo Youfeng and pulled Qiao Manman out of the ward: "Girl, Youfeng fell into an ice hole when she was little, so don't say things like that in the future!"

There was no resentment in her tone, only fear that Qiao Manman would rub salt into her niece's wounds.

Qiao Manman smiled and said, "Director Guo, don't worry. I asked that because I have the ability to get Sister Feng pregnant!"

Guo Jingyi was stunned for a moment: "You're not kidding? You Feng's body is something that many old Chinese medicine doctors can't do anything about!"

Qiao Manman fabricated an excuse that an old imperial physician, fearing persecution, hid in the mountains but was forced by poverty to sell fertility pills to appease Guo Jingyi.

Can Guo Jingyi be trusted? Absolutely not!

However, she didn't directly deny Qiao Manman's existence, after all, she knew the experts in Kyoto.

Perhaps it was some big shot who couldn't show their face and found a channel privately?

"Director Guo, I only dared to recommend her because I have a good relationship with Sister Feng. The opportunity is right in front of you, please consider it!"

Guo Jingyi felt that even the worst outcome wouldn't be worse than the current predicament.

He took a deep breath: "Okay, I trust you! I'll prepare the money you need!"

Qiao Manman didn't give Guo Youfeng a discount just because she had a good relationship with her. After all, you get what you pay for. Offering something for free would only arouse suspicion.

"One fertility pill costs 100 yuan. If Sister Feng is around, she can just take one. Director Yan has already given birth, so she doesn't need to take it."

Guo Jingyi insisted, "Give me two, I'll pay for them!"

Qiao Manman nodded: "Let them get through this ordeal and recover before trying to conceive. The money isn't urgent; we'll give it to them after Sister Feng's pregnancy is stable."

These words reassured Guo Jingyi.

After thanking Qiao Manman, he returned to the ward and nodded slightly to Guo's parents, who both wore relieved smiles.

Evening arrived quickly, and Miao Shoujun was driven back to the county by Qian Junfei to take charge of the overall situation.

There were plenty of people taking care of her in the ward, so Qiao Manman didn't need to worry about it.

After the sun set, she left to have dinner at a state-run restaurant.

When it was completely dark, I hurried to the glass factory's residential compound.

He went to the corner, took out a few packets of milk powder from his spatial storage, and put them in a broken bamboo basket.

Then he knocked on Fu Xianling's door, waited for a while, and saw her come out with a woman.

"Girl, you've arrived! This is my distant relative..."

Qiao Manman nodded without saying anything.

Seeing that she didn't respond, Fu Xianling took out some money from her pocket: "Here, this is a hundred yuan!"

Qiao Manman handed her the bamboo basket: "Look, these are all good things. If the children can't finish them, the adults can still benefit from drinking them. In short, nothing will go to waste."

Fu Xianling thanked Qiao Manman and went home.

Qiao Manman was about to leave when the woman blocked her way.

She didn't do anything drastic; she simply knelt down in front of Qiao Manman with a thud.

Qiao Manman was startled and quickly dodged away.

Then I heard her stammering, "Girl, you have no idea what kind of life your auntie lives in her husband's family..."

What followed was a five-minute-long lament, vividly portraying the image of a middle-aged woman who was oppressed by her in-laws for failing to give birth to a son.

Qiao Manman didn't want to talk to her, but the woman clung to her leg and wouldn't let her leave.

"Please, please help me. It'll be a good deed for me."

Accumulating blessings? More like creating karma!

Qiao Manman thought to herself, but on the surface she patiently helped the woman up: "Auntie, listen to me, whether you have a boy or a girl is determined by fate. What if we have two more girls?"

Besides, if you were to have a son, your daughters would be in real trouble.

If she were to become pregnant with two more daughters, she feared she wouldn't be able to raise them all and would have to give them away or drown them; she didn't want to be involved in any human lives.

"Impossible, impossible! You can get someone pregnant, so why can't you turn a girl into a boy?"

"A reversal drug? Yes, I've heard of it. If you take a reversal drug, you can turn from a woman into a man!"

Qiao Manman rolled her eyes: "Whether it's a boy or a girl is determined the moment you get pregnant, how can you reverse it? Anyone who says it can be reversed is a liar!"

"Impossible! There's a woman in our village who took the old Taoist priest's Reversal Pill and got pregnant with her daughter but ended up having a son!"

"Then go find the old Taoist priest!"

Qiao Manman couldn't help but blurt out, and fearing that she would really go to the swindler, she quickly said, "Is it possible that the woman was actually carrying a boy, and the old Taoist priest deliberately said that she was carrying a girl in order to sell medicine?"

Or perhaps the boy she gave birth to wasn't her child, but was switched or something?

Another possibility is that a woman might transform into a man. While she might appear identical to a normal man, her chromosomes would be XX. This would lead to a host of problems in the future—what's the point?!

Qiao Manman believed her guess was the truth, but to other women, it sounded like a fantasy.

"No way, no way! You must not want to help me and are just making excuses. Good heavens, how could you be so heartless?"

All I want is a son. Why can Fu Xianling have one, but I, Zhang Cuihua, can't?
