Chapter 129 Is it difficult to raise a daughter?
Everyone got along well with each other, no one was deliberately making trouble, and the atmosphere of the entire program group was very good.

Qin Xuan felt refreshed after the acupuncture treatment, and even the air felt especially fresh. He said to Ruogu sincerely, "Doctor Chen, it's a waste of your talent to stay in a small place like Wanling. You can open a clinic in any first-tier city and earn more than you do in Wanling."

Ruogu explained softly while disinfecting the silver needle: "I returned to Wanling to reopen Jishiditang to fulfill my father's last wish. Making money is secondary."

Qin Xuan understood that with Yu Yuan's ability, Chen Ruogu really didn't need to work so hard to make money. He looked at Yu Yuan again and said lazily, "Brother Yuan, are you planning to stay with Doctor Chen and settle down in Wanling?"

Yu Yuan said without any emotion: "Wherever my wife and daughter are, I will be there naturally. I will live in Wanling temporarily and make adjustments based on my daughter's situation later."

Qin Xuan had no children, so naturally he couldn't consider this. One of the important reasons why he chose to marry Ye Mei was that he wanted to be a father.

Many of his friends got married and had children early because of family arrangements. They might not like their wives, but they still cared about their children.

Qin Xuan often heard them discussing children at home, which made him want to have a daughter. Ye Mei just happened to suit his aesthetic taste and appeared at the right time, so he didn't really think too much about other things.

Although Qin Xuan had never met Huai Xi in person, he had heard that the little girl was excellent in all aspects. He couldn't help but ask Yu Yuan for advice: "Brother Yuan, is it difficult to raise a daughter? What should I pay attention to?"

Yu Yuan raised his eyebrows and said in a low voice: "Why, do you want to be a father?"

Qin Xuan admitted openly: "I got married just to have children, isn't that a normal thing?"

Yu Yuan thought that a playboy like him would not have children so early. He said in a gentle voice:

"I don't know how others raise their children, but I didn't have much time to spend with my daughter when she was young. At that time, my career was on the rise, and it was common for me not to go home for several months. My wife took care of the family."

When discussing this topic before, he didn't think it was a big deal. Most families were like this, with men bearing the financial pressure and women taking care of the children and the family wholeheartedly. But now when he mentioned these things, he often felt that he owed Ruogu a lot and had not been able to make her life easier.

Qin Xuan didn't think much about it. He continued to ask, "You don't spend much time with her. Is your daughter close to you? Your daughter should be in adolescence."

Yu Yuan raised the corner of his mouth, and he said in a brisk voice: "My daughter is considerate and sensible, and has a good relationship with me. She is not rebellious during adolescence, and is a girl with strong opinions and ideas. She has excellent academic performance and will be an outstanding woman in the future."

Qin Xuan was somewhat envious in his heart. He said stubbornly, "My daughter will definitely be good in the future. I have personally taken care of her and accompanied her since she was a child. Her relationship will definitely be better than yours."

Yu Yuan smiled and asked, "Is your wife pregnant?"

Qin Xuan shook her head. "We just got married. How could she get pregnant so soon?"

Yu Yuan said leisurely: "It's uncertain when your wife will get pregnant, and it's uncertain whether it will be a boy or a girl. Young Master Qin has no daughter yet, so don't think too much about it for now."

Qin Xuan was unconvinced and said, "What do you mean by that? Are you trying to provoke me to not give birth to a daughter?"

Yu Yuan said nonchalantly: "That's what you said, I didn't say that. I was kindly advising you that the greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment. What if you don't have a daughter and give birth to sons instead?"

Qin Xuan's scalp tingled when he thought of his son. He said firmly, "That's impossible. Even if I have to do IVF, I have to give birth to a daughter. Just wait and see."

Netizens who were watching the live broadcast were stunned by their conversation.

"I thought Qin Xuan was an arrogant young master. If he had a daughter, wouldn't he become a daughter slave?"

"Yu Yuan also seems to love his daughter very much. I wonder what it feels like to have such an actor as her father."

"Am I the only one who feels sorry for Ye Mei? Isn't she a perfect baby-making machine? The Qin family doesn't even acknowledge her, but Qin Xuan still wants her to have a baby. If she can't have a daughter, she'll have to have one through IVF. It's scary just to think about it."

"Don't use ordinary people's thinking to define this matter. The Qin family really has property to inherit. Regardless of whether the parents-in-law admit it or not, they are a legal couple and the children they have are all legitimate children. As long as there are children, Ye Mei will never lack money even if she ends up in a miserable state in this life. The more children she has, the better it is for her."

"Having said that, I disdain to exchange a life of luxury for having children all the time."

"This is hilarious. Qin Xuan won't even look at an ordinary girl like you. How can you be so confident to say such a thing?"

"A capable woman can live a carefree life without getting married or having children. An incompetent woman who marries an ordinary man still has to use her reproductive value to survive. There is nothing to discuss."

Yu Yuan was just joking with Qin Xuan and didn't insist on the issue. He said whatever he wanted. Turning his head to see Ruogu put away the silver needle, he asked considerately:
"Do you want to go back to your room to rest, or stay here to play? Otherwise, I will send the silver needle back to the room first."

Ruogu chuckled and said, "They all went to the kitchen to help. I'll go and take a look too."

Seeing her handing the silver needle to Yu Yuan, Xiao Gao, who had been filming her, said embarrassedly: "Doctor Chen, could you please take my pulse? I have severe insomnia recently. I am always tired during the day, which has delayed my work..."

Ruogu is usually kind to others and never puts on airs. Hearing this, he said softly, "Of course, let's get others to help take the photo first."

There are not many staff members in the on-site program crew. Although not everyone can be a photographer, there is no problem for others to take over temporarily.

Xiao Gao handed the camera to his colleague, walked quickly to sit opposite Ruogu, and Ruogu gently placed his fingertips on his pulse, and spoke after a moment:

"You are suffering from insomnia caused by overthinking and fatigue, and deficiency of both the heart and spleen. I will prescribe you a few doses of Shenzao Anshen Decoction, and it will heal you."

Xiao Gao believed in Ruogu's medical skills. He scratched his head and said honestly, "Doctor Chen, I know the medicine you prescribed must be correct, but I am under great pressure at work and I can't sleep well. Can you please give me acupuncture? Will it work faster?"

Xiao Gao was an introvert who tended to overthink. She felt a little nervous after she finished speaking, fearing that she would upset Ruogu. Ruogu nodded slightly, and she said gently:

"I can give you acupuncture, but you still have to drink the ginseng and jujube tranquilizing soup. It's good for your body."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Gao nodded hurriedly, "That's fine. I'll drink a few doses to regulate my body first." Ruogu took the silver needle back from Yu Yuan's hand. Yu Yuan frowned slightly. He naturally didn't want Ruogu to work hard. She had already given acupuncture to Xia Lan and Qin Xuan today, and she must have consumed a lot of her true energy.

Yu Yuan was unhappy, but since Ruogu had already agreed, he would not object. He just walked to her side and whispered, "If you are running out of energy, stop immediately and don't make yourself too tired."

Ruogu gave him a reassuring smile and said calmly: "It's okay, I wasn't too tired before, I'm not that fragile."

Yu Yuan was relieved to see that she looked normal. Ruogu took out the silver needle, and after Xiao Gao was ready, she inserted the needle into his body. While she was busy, the kitchen was also bustling with activity.

Wang Lele is the only daughter in the family. Before she got married, she had never done housework. After she got married, she was forced by her mother-in-law and Zou Junkai to cook. Now she has become very good at it.

The hot oil in the pot was smoking. She threw the cleaned meat slices into the pot and quickly stir-fried them. Ye Mei was very surprised. She said in a gentle voice:
"I didn't expect you to be so good. I can cook a couple of side dishes. When I was a kid, my parents were busy working and couldn't cook. If I didn't cook, I would go hungry. But the food I cooked tasted indescribable. Except for my brother, no one liked it."

Wang Lele kept moving her hands. She raised her voice and said, "Cooking is not that difficult. If you are forced to that point, you will have to learn it even if you don't know how..."

Zou Junkai listened to the description and said, "Don't talk nonsense. My mother is doing this for your own good. She has been through a lot. How can you live a married life without knowing how to cook?"

Xia Lan was peeling garlic. Hearing this, she said mercilessly, "Why doesn't she let you do it? Marriage and life are not just Lele's business. She is not a widow."

Zou Junkai frowned upon hearing this. He didn't want to be scolded, so he apologized carefully, "Yes, yes, yes, my mother is old-fashioned. It's all our fault. How about I cook and Lele will tell me?"

Wang Lele didn't want to pay attention to him, and said expressionlessly: "I have the ability to teach you with my mouth, the dishes are ready, you can do something you can do."

Zou Junkai was very unhappy with her attitude. He couldn't say anything in front of the camera, so he could only turn around and leave silently.

Without Zou Junkai's intervention, Wang Lele's movements became more and more skillful. Dong Rui also took the lead in cooking a few dishes, and the lunch was very sumptuous.

Ruogu was going to rest in the afternoon, and Yu Yuan originally planned to stay with her all the time, but Qin Xuan asked them to go fishing in the mountain stream. Dong Rui and Zou Junkai would both go, after all, they were recording a program, and Yu Yuan couldn't refuse.

Xia Lan will take Ye Mei and Wang Lele to practice yoga live teaching. Everyone has something to do, and the live broadcast content is not empty, so the audience will have something to watch.

Among the guests present, only Ruogu was not from the circle. She did not need so much exposure, so she would rather go back to her room to rest. After lunch, Yu Yuan first sent her back to the room, talked to her for a few words, and told her to call if she had anything, and then left.

After unplugging the camera, Ruogu went back to her room and changed into comfortable and light home clothes. Although she had consumed a lot of energy in the morning, it was within her tolerance range, so she did not feel uncomfortable.

She flipped through the medical book she brought with her for a while. To be honest, participating in a variety show is more tiring than seeing patients, and it also leaves her with less time to read.

Ruogu was watching intently when her cell phone rang. She looked down and saw that it was Huai Xi calling. She quickly answered the phone and said in a brisk voice, "Huai Xi, why are you calling? Have you eaten?"

Huai Xi said cheerfully, "Sister Yang feeds me on time every day, so I must have eaten by now. I just watched your live show. Why didn't you play with everyone else?"

Ruogu chuckled and said, "I'm too lazy to go. I'm resting in my room."

Huai Xi didn't think her mother did anything wrong, and said as a matter of course: "If you feel tired, then take more rest. You are not a star, so you don't need to be in business every day. My dad seems to be able to handle it with ease, worthy of being an actor."

Ruogu's lips curled up slightly, and she said calmly: "Where are you now? School is about to start, you have to go home early and concentrate."

Huai Xi said in a clear voice: "We arrived home last night. Sister Yang is very thoughtful. You don't have to worry. By the way, I also ran into Teacher Gao. She said that we didn't attend Uncle Shao's wedding, so she would give me the wedding candy another day."

Ruogu gave her the gift money in advance, but she forgot about it after that. They probably saw the live broadcast promotion and knew that she didn't have time to attend the wedding, so they didn't bother her.

Ruogu came back to his senses and smiled, "Teacher Gao gave it to you, just take it. Do you need to buy anything new for the new semester? Do you still have the pocket money your dad gave you? Ask He Hui to drive you to buy anything you need."

Jishiditang was closed, and everyone was surrounding Huaixi. Huaixi had everything she needed. She smiled and said, "I didn't touch the money in the card much, and they also prepared everything I needed. When will you be back?"

Ruogu said with some distress: "I'm really not sure about this. It depends on how the program team arranges it. I'll be relieved if you live well at home."

The mother and daughter were not the type to make small talk, so after they had said everything they needed to say, they hung up the phone. Ruogu did not take Shao Bai's marriage to heart, as whether he lived a good life or not was none of her business.

On the other side, the men were sitting on the shore fishing with the camera facing them. The scenery in the mountains was pleasant and any shot was worth watching.

Qin Xuan looked bored, Yu Yuan was relaxed, Zou Junkai had a serious expression as if he was full of thoughts, and only Dong Rui was fishing seriously.

At first, no one spoke, and the audience in the live broadcast room wanted to yawn. Until Zou Junkai couldn't hold it in any longer, he asked, "Do you think I'm really bad to Lele? Why are netizens scolding me?"

Qin Xuan laughed as if he had heard a joke, "I don't know whether you treat your wife well or not, but your family is really poor. Can't you even afford a confinement nanny?"

Zou Junkai said with an unpleasant expression: "It's not that we can't afford it, my mother thinks she can take good care of me during the confinement period, and my mother-in-law is also coming, so there's no need to spend more money..."

Qin Xuan asked as if he was watching a joke: "What was the result? Did your mother take care of it?"

Zou Junkai was unable to speak and said, "My mother is old, so it's inevitable that she has back pain, and I don't know how to take care of children. My mother-in-law stayed for two days and then left. We really didn't mean to do that."

Yu Yuanliang said, "You didn't do it on purpose. Wang Lele deserves to be punished. You can't blame the netizens for scolding you."

Dong Rui chuckled and said, "He actually knows everything. He just wants to use us to whitewash himself. A man who can't even provide basic living security for his wife is not worthy of being a father."

Zou Junkai said unconvincedly: "Your financial strength is not even as good as Xia Lan's, what qualifications do you have to criticize me?"

Dong Rui said with a smile: "Xia Lan's financial strength is only comparable to Brother Yuan's. I don't think there is anything shameful. My wife is capable, and it's useless for you to be envious."
