Chapter 577 Acupuncture for the Future Mother-in-Law
Xiao Meizi had already agreed to have an in-depth conversation with him, and Lu Yaoxin was itching to do so.
How could I sit still?
If Huang Yuejuan's matter hadn't been so urgent, we wouldn't have given up halfway.
We need to take advantage of Ding Dahu's absence and win over Xiao Meizi.
Once she's done it once, she'll prepare for the second time herself.
Just like Sister Yuejuan, as long as she gets involved, she'll find a substitute even if she doesn't go herself.
I wonder if Xiao Meizi will be as vigorous as Sister Yuejuan.
After leaving home, I didn't drive, but headed straight for Ding Dahu's house.
The streets were packed with people.
Lu Yao was also puzzled. Now that there was electricity and the house was lit, why were people still not staying inside?
They all came out in groups of three or two, exchanging their experiences.
The joy was beyond words.
Everyone says that ordinary people in this era are happy; just look at how happy they are with a light bulb.
People were chatting, discussing, and reminiscing on the street; it was quite lively.
When they see Lu Yao, they either express their gratitude or praise him, knowing that without Lu Yao, it would be impossible to install electric lights.
Everyone who sees Lu Yao has to chat with him for a bit.
What should have been a three-minute walk to Ding Dahu's house took Lu Yao fifteen minutes.
Some people grabbed Lu Yao and wouldn't let him leave, insisting that he go inside to see how bright it was.
Lu Yao was very anxious.
I thought to myself, "Your 25-watt light bulbs aren't even as bright as my toilet in my past life."
What's there to brag about!
Lu Yao finally managed to break free from everyone and arrived at Ding Dahu's house.
I saw Xie Chunfang was also in the yard, chatting with Liu Laowu's wife over the wall.
The conversation started with electric lights and eventually went on to talk about the Apollo moon landing in 69.
As soon as they saw Lu Yao jump over the wall, they quickly called out:
"Hey kid, look, the power's back on!"
Lu Yao had heard this sentence at least ten times as he walked.
"I know, I know. Where's Xiao Meizi?"
"It's inside, go in and take a look."
As he spoke, he climbed down from the stone at the base of the wall: "Fifth brother's wife, I'm not going to talk to you anymore, I'm coming home."
They followed Lu Yao inside.
Lu Yao entered the house but did not see Ding Mei.
I walked across the street, but they weren't there either.
Looking back, Xie Chunfang came in.
"Little Rose isn't home either?"
"He, Jingyouxiang, and Shumei went to the clinic. They said Huang Yuejuan wasn't home tonight, and the three of them would be staying there. They're like little kids, always wanting someone else's warm kang (heated brick bed)."
Lu Yao frowned: "You say you're home when you're not?"
"If I told you she wasn't home, would you still be able to come in?"
Seeing Xie Chunfang smile as she locked the door, Lu Yao's muscles tensed.
Why does it feel like I've entered a wolf's den?
Is this woman going to transform?
"What are you going to do?"
Lu Yao took a step back.
Xie Chunfang burst out laughing:
"Look at you, you coward! What are you afraid of? I'm not going to eat you!"
There are people who call Lu Yao a pervert and a bastard, but this is the first time someone has called him a coward.
Lu Yao calmed down and thought to himself, "What am I afraid of? What can an old woman do to me?"
Xie Chunfang approached mysteriously:
"Perfect timing, your Uncle Hu isn't home, and neither is Xiao Meizi. Neither of them can come back tonight..."
"You want me to stay in your room?"
"Hey, what nonsense are you spouting? You have no manners!"
Xie Chunfang then realized that Lu Yao had misunderstood, and slapped him across the face.
"You'll help me get better! Didn't you promise me? What, are you going to renege on your promise? This is a rare opportunity."
"Damn, you're really taking this seriously."
"Of course I take it seriously."
I won't feel at ease in this family if I can't be a mother. You promised, you can't go back on your word!
Lu Yao originally came to find Xiao Meizi with great enthusiasm.
Now Xie Chunfang has stopped them.
On second thought, now that Xiao Meizi is with Jing Youxiang and Yuan Shumei, those two girls probably won't create any opportunities for her.
It looks like I won't be able to have a proper get-together with Xiao Meizi tonight.
Look at Xie Chunfang's expectant face:
"Okay, I'll get it done for you quickly, so you won't keep bothering me!"
"Thank you so much! How do we treat this little guy?"
"Go inside and take off your clothes."
"What?"
Xie Chunfang covered her chest with both hands:
"No way! Could it be that what Lu Laosan said is true—that you're treating someone's infertility by sleeping with them?"
Lu Yao grabbed her by the back of her collar, choked her, and pushed her into the house:
"Stop guessing. I'd rather sleep with you than with Xiao Meizi. I'll take off your clothes and give you acupuncture. I'll also prescribe some medicine for you later, and that should be enough. It's not some difficult or complicated illness."
"Oh, acupuncture? You don't need to undress completely, right?"
Lu Yao said impatiently, "If you like to take your clothes off completely, I don't mind."
"You country bumpkin, you'll take advantage of anyone! Hurry up and tell me, how are you going to take it off?"
Xie Chunfang had no choice.
Lu Yao can still show some respect to me when Ding Dahu is around, but once we're alone, who knows how he'll treat me?
After all, he's not Ding Mei's biological mother. If this kid gets any bad ideas, I'm afraid I won't be able to handle him.
However, she genuinely hoped to recover from her illness and give Ding Dahu a son or daughter to solidify her position.
Xie Chunfang got onto the kang (a heated brick bed) and drew the curtains.
Lu Yao took out the needle pouch that Huang Yuejuan had given him from his coat pocket. It was a small cloth bag. He unfolded it and found a row of silver needles inside, some thick, some thin, some long, some short, tied with cotton thread.
He took one out, looked at it, and then put it back.
"Lie down on the kang (heated brick bed), take off your cotton-padded jacket, pull down your cotton-padded trousers, just expose your lower back."
Xie Chunfang breathed a sigh of relief; thankfully, she hadn't taken off too much clothing.
He responded, turned around, and unbuttoned his cotton-padded jacket.
My fingers weren't very cooperative, and it took me two tries to untangle the first one.
He took off his cotton-padded coat and draped it over the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed), revealing a white undershirt underneath.
She climbed onto the kang (a heated brick bed), lay face down, and lifted her undershirt to reveal a section of her lower back.
After thinking for a moment, he pulled his cotton pants down a little further, revealing his tailbone area.
Then he buried his face in the pillow, and from behind, his ears were bright red.
Although she's been through it all, she's still making that gesture with a man other than her husband.
Lu Yao sat down on the edge of the kang and reached out to press her lower back.
Xie Chunfang shivered slightly from the cold touch of her fingers, but remained silent.
"Shenshu point."
Lu Yao muttered to himself, pressing his thumbs on both sides of her waist to find the indentations.
He took out a three-inch-long silver needle from his cloth bag, wiped it twice on an alcohol swab, twisted the end of the needle, and slowly inserted it.
Xie Chunfang gasped.
Is it sour?
"acid."
"That's right."
Lu Yao twisted the needle a few more times and left it in place.
Take another one, slightly below, beside the coccyx.
"Put a few needles in all eight acupoints."
He ran his fingers along the sacrum, inserting needles as he went.
Xie Chunfang lay on the kang (a heated brick bed), not daring to move or look back. She felt a soreness and swelling in her lower back, as if a stream of air was drilling into her through a needle.
After Lu Yao removed the needles from her waist, he had her turn over.
Xie Chunfang turned over, her face turning even redder. She didn't dare look at him, staring at the roof beam.
His undershirt was still rolled up, revealing a section of his stomach.
"Touch it up a bit higher," Lu Yao said.
Xie Chunfang pulled her undershirt up to her chest and held it in her hand.
Her belly was fair and smooth, rising and falling with nervousness.
