"Ah..." Xue Yifu did not expect to be reprimanded. He was at a loss for words.
Li Hehua immediately became anxious. "Doctor," she hurriedly said, "My pregnancy has nothing to do with my husband."
"Is that so? But why is it that you're so thin, but he's not thin at all and is quite strong?" Without waiting for anyone to answer, Doctor Shen continued, "I know that your village is poor. Usually, the men who do manual work eat more food. The women who don't do manual work drink watery food. They save as much as they can. You've lost so much weight. You must have been drinking watery food like this for a long time."
Li Hehua was speechless.
She used to drink diluted water, but ever since Xue Yan suddenly came back from town and said that he would no longer go to school, everyone in the family started to more food.
