Chapter 131 Li Mingyue's Request
Then Ouyang arrived with the martial arts manual. What were they waiting for? Zhou Zheng and the others were eager to learn new martial arts!
Lan did bring a bunch of pearls. To be honest, Lin Liuyi had never seen pearls of this size and quality before.
Not to mention there's also some other seafood nearby, so I can just exchange it; Lan doesn't need much anyway.
Next, Xiao Xie came in hesitantly, saying that he only had wasteland on his side, and since Lin Liuyi didn't mind, they could exchange a little less.
There's also Wu Mingyue's crystal core. That country couldn't figure it out last time either. Oh well, let's save it for now. Lin Liuyi replaced it too.
Liu Mingyue took the gold, and Lin Liuyi successfully exchanged it with her.
Finally, only Grandma Liu, Li Mingyue, and Yang Mingyue were left. Lin Liuyi was also a bit of a headache, wondering how to exchange them.
Fortunately, Old Lady Liu immediately took out a ginseng root. "Liu Yi, I know this ginseng is a bit young. How much can you exchange it for?"
Grandma Liu also wanted to exchange for more, but she had a large family to support, and she couldn't possibly spend all her money on ginseng.
After a system evaluation, Lin Liuyi replaced her pills with two new ones.
When it was Yang Mingyue's turn, she took out an old book somewhat shyly. "Liu Yi, I found this at a scrap metal yard once. I don't know if it's useful, but it feels very mysterious. See if you can exchange it with me."
Lin Liuyi immediately had the system scan it. "The Book of Green Bags?"
"Does it look familiar?"
"Host, the system scan shows this book is valuable!"
Lin Liu thought for a long time, then suddenly remembered, "Isn't this Hua Tuo's medical book? It still exists! I want it, I want it, Yang Mei'er, don't worry, I can exchange it!"
Yang Mingyue logged off, satisfied with the pills she had collected.
Finally, only Li Mingyue was left, and Lin Liuyi was curious about what she wanted to exchange for it.
Lin Liu looked at it for a long time before slowly taking out a recipe.
"June 1st, I just want a pregnancy support device, see if you can switch."
Now it was Lin Liuyi's turn to be in a dilemma. It was a prescription, but the system had already scanned it and it wasn't of much value to her or this world. Besides, what she needed was something to prevent miscarriage, and Long Mingyue didn't have any special pills for preventing miscarriage. The only pills that met her requirements were the Rejuvenation Pill and the Vitality Pill.
However, the value of these two elixirs is definitely much higher than that of a single recipe.
Lin Liuyi thought about it and decided to refuse. Although he understood that Li Mingyue had just fled famine and had no money, it would be unfair to others if she exchanged the prescription for it.
"Miss Li, I'm sorry! Your prescription isn't very valuable, I can't exchange it!"
Li Mingyue was anxious; she really wanted to have the procedure and desperately needed the pregnancy-preserving pills.
The story begins when her mother found out she was pregnant. "Mom, you can't eat so much!"
"Nonsense, the doctor said I have a weak constitution. I'm just giving your brother some extra nutrition!" Mingyue's mother said lovingly, touching her swollen belly.
Is that what the doctor said? The doctor clearly said that her mother used to be in poor health, but fortunately she recovered later, which is why she was able to conceive.
Li Mingyue didn't know how many times she had tried to persuade her mother. Ever since the doctor diagnosed that her mother was carrying a younger brother, she had become somewhat obsessed.
"Mingyue, your mother just ate a little too much, and you're already upset? I'm doing this all for you. Once your younger brother is born, you'll have someone to rely on!"
"Mother, I didn't. The doctor said you can't eat too much right now, the fetus shouldn't be too big!"
“Nonsense, doctors aren’t women, how would they know? Only if I eat more will your little brother grow well and be born chubby and healthy!” Mingyue’s mother said, as if she could already see herself giving birth to a chubby and healthy son.
Li Mingyue looked at her mother's rounder figure and felt helpless; she really couldn't persuade her!
After being advised too much, her mother questioned whether she didn't want her younger brother to be well. She said no, she just wanted her mother and younger brother to be well.
Her father, in particular, even mentioned her estranged grandparents' family when he came back today.
"My wife, Mingyue, I ran into your grandparents on the street today. They... they're not doing well," Li Lao Er said dejectedly.
"Li Lao Er, don't even think about it. I'm not going to support your parents. We agreed to sever ties back then, so why are they coming to you again? What, have you run out of money?" Mingyue's mother said angrily.
"Wife, don't be angry. You're carrying our son! I just... I just feel a little reluctant," Li Lao Er quickly coaxed his wife.
Li Mingyue breathed a sigh of relief; she didn't want that family to get involved with her family again.
“I can’t bear it, what is there to bear? How your mother tormented me back then. If she hadn’t tormented me, would my health be so poor? Maybe I would have had our son long ago!” Mingyue’s mother couldn’t help but cry when she thought of the hard days she had lived back then.
"Wife, don't cry. We won't raise them! But how about letting Zhuzi work in the shop? Our son still needs a brother to support him in the future!"
Upon hearing this, Li Mingyue realized that she had put her mind at ease too soon!
“Zhu Zi? Is he from my uncle’s family? Husband, you’re right. There are only a few of us in the family, Mingyue. Our son really needs a brother!” Mingyue’s mother wiped away her tears and actually began to consider the possibility of this.
"Impossible! I disagree! Mother, have you forgotten who said a kind word for you when we were abandoned? Wasn't your aunt bullying you enough before?"
That Li Zhuzi used to bully the sisters because Old Lady Li doted on him. He even stole the wild fruits they found on the mountain. What's so good about a person like that!
"But Mingyue, your younger brother..." Mingyue's mother felt a little uncomfortable when the past was mentioned.
"My brother has us older sisters to protect him; he doesn't need anyone else!"
"Mingyue, your brother Zhuzi is a boy after all!" Li Lao Er pleaded earnestly.
"Anyway, I don't agree, the shop will absolutely not take him!"
The father and daughter parted on bad terms. As Li Mingyue walked out the door, she heard her father say that she was becoming increasingly difficult to manage, while her mother said that she was still young, not yet married, and did not understand her parents' good intentions.
Yes, she is not married yet, but isn't the reason she doesn't marry because she is struggling to support her family?
Even though she had a falling out with her mother, Li Mingyue was still worried about her mother's health.
She took a deep breath. "Liu Yi, please reconsider. My mother is in serious danger. If I can't get the pregnancy-preserving pills, I'm afraid..."
Lin Liuyi sighed, "Miss Li, it's not that I don't want to help you, but there are rules in business. How about this, if you can find a ginseng, I'll trade with you for it."
Lin Liuyi didn't specify the year of the item, wanting to give Li Mingyue a chance, since she was doing it for her mother's sake, which Lin Liuyi understood.
