Yangyang gave me a wink, signaling me to go out first while she stayed behind. I knew Yangyang was going to implement our plan, so I stepped outside. After a while, Yangyang called Ma Zhaodi out. She nodded at me, and I understood that the plan was successful.
I walked up to Ma Zhaodi and smiled, "Sister, I heard you haven't been able to get pregnant all these years?"
Ma Zhaodi was taken aback, "How did you know?"
I chuckled, "I heard it from my mother yesterday."
Ma Zhaodi's expression turned a bit sour, "Yes, I haven't been able to conceive all these years."
I pretended to hesitate, "Sister, I have a method that might help you."
Ma Zhaodi looked at me suspiciously, "You? What method could a rural woman like you possibly have?"
I feigned an air of mystery, "Sister, just tell me if you want to know."
Ma Zhaodi thought for a moment, "Go ahead and tell me."
I leaned closer to Ma Zhaodi's ear and whispered, "Sister, I checked online before. For situations like yours, taking some traditional Chinese medicine should do the trick."
Ma Zhaodi seemed skeptical, "Really?"
I nodded, "Of course, Sister. Why would I lie to you?"
After thinking for a moment, Ma Zhaodi asked, "What kind of traditional medicine?"
I said mysteriously, "This traditional medicine is something only I know about."
Ma Zhaodi paused for a moment, "Then tell me quickly!"
I shook my head and said, "Sister, it's not possible right now."
Ma Zhaodi became anxious and asked, "Why not?"
I sighed and replied, "Sister, if I give you the prescription and you get pregnant, what if you don't pay?"
Ma Zhaodi glared at me and said, "Are you crazy about money?"
I shook my head again and explained, "Sister, your family is so poor. If you get pregnant and refuse to take responsibility, where will Yangyang and I go to seek justice?"
Ma Zhaodi thought for a moment and asked, "So what do you want?"
Her husband had become wealthy through business, but he started neglecting home life. She also wanted to have a child to keep him tied down. However, after all these years, she had not been able to conceive. Now that she saw both Yangyang and me pregnant, she couldn't help but feel frustrated.
Noticing Ma Zhaodi's agitation, I spoke up: "Sister, if you want this child, you'll need to pay for the prenatal check-ups."
Ma Zhaodi shot us a glare and exclaimed, "I don't have any money!"
I pretended to be helpless and said, "Sister, there's nothing I can do if you don't have money."
Yangyang chimed in, "Sister, if you want to get pregnant, you have to listen to us."
Ma Zhaodi looked at us suspiciously and thought, "These two lazy women must have ulterior motives!"
I sighed, "Sister, if you don't believe us, then forget it."
After saying that, I pulled Yangyang to leave.
Ma Zhaodi got anxious and quickly stopped us, "Wait!"
I thought for a moment and said, "Sister, since you want to have a baby so much, I'll tell you a folk remedy."
Ma Zhaodi was taken aback, "What remedy?"
I leaned closer to Ma Zhaodi and whispered, "Sister, if you drink a bowl of leek water every night for a month, you'll be able to conceive."
Ma Zhaodi was stunned, "Is that true?"
I nodded, "Of course, Sister. Why would I lie to you?"
Ma Zhaodi thought about it and decided to give it a try.
In reality, there was no such remedy; it was just that Yangyang and I wanted Ma Zhaodi to get poisoned.
As long as Ma Zhaodi was poisoned, Yangyang and I could use that as an excuse to buy time.
If we could just delay until we went to the Town Hospital for the check-up, Yangyang and I would be able to escape.
