I was a stepmother in ancient times, and I led my whole family to wealth.

Chapter 133 Brainstorming

Seeing how much Gu Chenglin cared for his new daughter-in-law, Grandpa Xu smiled with satisfaction and said, "Hehe, good, I know you love your wife. Let's go, I'll write you a prescription and get your medicine."

When Gu Chenglin heard what Grandpa Xu said, he knew that he still had something to say to him.

He tucked the blanket around Dongfang Jin and followed Grandpa Xu out of the inner courtyard, where they saw Aunt Gu and Jun Wenhui waiting at the door.

Grandpa Xu nodded and greeted them.

Seeing that Gu Yumei was also there, he paused for a moment, said nothing, and followed Gu Chenglin into the living room.

Aunt Gu asked worriedly, "How is Xiao Jin? Is she alright?"

She saw the child marry into the Chenglin family, but she didn't expect... that he would only come after he had reached marriageable age.

She could say it was the first time she had ever experienced such severe abdominal pain during her period.

Grandpa Xu didn't say it directly. He took out paper, a pen, and an inkwell from his medicine box, dipped the pen in the ink, thought for a moment, and wrote down the prescription.

Seeing that Grandpa Xu was frowning, Gu Chenglin felt uneasy: "Grandpa, please speak freely."

Grandpa Xu stroked his beard and sighed, "Chenglin, your wife has a cold-related illness."

There are many types of cold-related illnesses, but your wife's condition could be described as stagnation, but it's not quite that.

It seems to be caused by something you ate.

This could mean that she accidentally ate something extremely cold while she was at the Fang family's house, or it could be that it happened even earlier and her grandfather didn't notice.

"But my grandfather's medical skills aren't up to par; he really can't diagnose what kind of coldness she has."

Gu Chenglin...

Even Grandpa Xu can't see it?

It seems I'll have to find Grandpa Chu.

Jun Wenhui asked with some concern, "What about having children in the future?"

It's important to know that once a woman is diagnosed with a cold-related condition, she generally has difficulty conceiving.

If Xiao Jin doesn't have any children in the future, then...

Grandpa Xu glanced at Gu Chenglin and sighed again. This child has such a hard life. Luckily, he already has two children, otherwise…

"This might be a bit difficult. To cure her cold ailment, it would probably require a hundred-year-old fire dragon ginseng."

But this thing is very hard to find. I heard that it grows in the volcanic regions of the Western Regions.

But let alone us, even the natives of the Western Regions can't get that far.

Gu Chenglin wasn't too upset about the lack of offspring, because of his wife...

Will Xiao Jin still experience pain in the future?

His question stunned everyone in the room. Was this person...?

Seeing that they were all looking at him with surprise, Gu Chenglin gave a wry smile and then recounted how Dongfang Jin refused to have children for him.

Aunt Gu's eyes widened in shock: "You're saying Xiao Jin won't have children for you? Why?"

What woman wouldn't want to have children for her husband's family? What was Dongfang Jin thinking?

Gu Chenglin said sullenly, "Yes, this is her first condition for living with me."

"Why...why?" Aunt Gu asked again, puzzled.

Gu Chenglin pursed his lips, his hand inside his sleeve clenching and unclenching, then clenching again and unclenching again, repeating this several times: "She said she was afraid of the pain, and even though I asked her repeatedly, she still insisted on not wanting it."

She even threatened me, saying that if I wanted the child, I would have to divorce her, and that she would rather die than have the baby.

Jun Wenhui was puzzled; why would Dongfang Jin make such a request?

Which woman doesn't experience pain during childbirth?

Didn't you tell her that having her own child would be a good thing?

Gu Chenglin clenched his fist again and said helplessly, "I asked her, but she still doesn't want it. I think she's made up her mind."

She said she already had a son and a daughter, a complete family, and resolutely refused to have any more.

Yang Zhu was also stunned and didn't know what to say. After thinking for a long time, she finally asked what was on her mind: "What is she thinking?"

Don't want children?

Which woman doesn't want children?

Does she not like Cheng Lin?

But it doesn't look like it.

Then... why is that?

Gu Chenglin: "I don't know."

But in his heart he was thinking that he had to find out the truth about this, otherwise it would become a thorn in his side.

Aunt Gu thought of something and said, "If she doesn't want it, then she doesn't want it. She's only just come of age, and her body is like this. Let's talk about it later. Maybe she'll understand in the future."

Grandpa Xu...

He didn't believe that Dongfang Jin was someone who would easily compromise.

It's probably true that she won't have children with Chenglin.

However, this doesn't offer much guarantee.

Gu Chenglin...

That might be a bit difficult.

But fire dragon ginseng?

He could ask those caravans if they had any seeds.

The land in my wife's space can grow, and it grows even faster.

……

After Gu Chenglin and Grandpa Xu brought the medicine back, he planned to brew it in his spatial storage using the Five Elements Spring.

Using that water to boil the medicine will definitely make it more effective.

When he returned to the house and told Dongfang Jin about it, Dongfang Jin agreed.

They had Gu Chenglin lock the door from the inside before entering the space.

When it was time to brew the medicine, Ruyi took on the task.

Dongfang Jin lay on Gu Chenglin's lap: "Tell me, why are you unhappy?"

Gu Chenglin paused, his hand holding the computer still: "No."

“You have it, I can sense it. Tell me, how much longer do I have?”

Gu Chenglin asked, puzzled, "What do you mean, how long?"

"What did Grandpa Xu say to you? And why is he avoiding me?"

Don't think she doesn't know. When doctors finish seeing a patient and call the family members out of the hospital, isn't it just to say something they don't want the patient to know?

She understands this.

She's someone who's already died once.

Death held no fear for her.

But if that's the case, then her grand plan cannot be realized.

She also wants to lead her whole family to wealth.

It seems...

"He didn't say anything, he just told me not to eat anything too cold."

Dongfang Jin sat up abruptly, looked at Gu Chenglin, and narrowed her eyes. She had already asked him this question, but he still wouldn't answer.

"Gu Chenglin! Tell me, do I not have much time left? Don't worry, I've already died once, I'm not afraid of death, it's just that, it's just that I'm a little reluctant to leave you."

As she spoke, she threw herself into Gu Chenglin's arms and began to sob.

Gu Chenglin...

Did he say anything?

How come there's not much time left?

This wife really has a vivid imagination.

He smiled helplessly as he held her, gently picked her up, and let her sit on his lap, looking down into her eyes.

"Grandpa Xu really didn't say anything, he just said that you were feeling cold."

It's possible that you ate something extremely cold at Fang's house, or perhaps you ate something extremely cold even earlier.

"Well... Grandpa Xu said his medical skills are too limited to tell."

"That's it?"

"Ah."

"Then why is there pain in your eyes? Tell me! Why?"

Gu Chenglin hadn't expected her to be so sensitive, so he had no choice but to tell the truth: "Grandpa Xu said... he said it might be a little difficult for you to have children in the future..."

Dongfang Jin's eyes widened, her voice trembling with excitement: "Really? Does that mean I won't be able to get pregnant in the future?"

Wow, that's great! Thank goodness! Then she won't need contraception anymore.

As one wishes:"……"

This contractual master can't bear to look.

That's it? If it were her man, she'd beat him up immediately.

You said you could just think it in your heart, why did you have to say it out loud?

You're so blind! Didn't you see that your man's face is as black as charcoal?

Seeing her excited expression, Gu Chenglin's face darkened, and he asked in a sinister tone, "Are you that happy?"

Without even thinking, Dongfang Jin blurted out, "Of course, that way I won't have to... um... um..."

Gu Chenglin silenced her with a kiss, a kiss tinged with anger and punishment…

After a kiss.

Dongfang Jin tugged at his clothes, panting, and asked, "Do you...do you want to suffocate me? Or murder me?"

"You really don't want to have a child with me?" Gu Chenglin asked, his hands gripping her waist, his voice icy.
