Shen Zhixia transmigrated into a 1960s novel, becoming the male lead's cannon fodder ex-wife.
The ex-wife, a wealthy capitalist young lady, inherently looked down on the male lead, who ca...
Chapter 92 Not Getting Married
Wang Xiaojian drank too much water and passed out from overeating.
His stomach was completely bloated.
Fortunately, there is not much pollution in this day and age. Although the river water is dirty, it does not contain too many deadly bacteria. So he had diarrhea for a day, but felt a little better the next day.
Upon hearing the news, Shen Zhixia felt extremely guilty. She took a bottle of wine and a bag of White Rabbit milk candies to meet Zhang Weihong and told her the news: "Sister-in-law Zhang, it's all my fault. I told him that drinking the river water would make him pregnant. Wang Xiaojian is still a child and has a simple personality, so he listened to me."
Zhang Weihong's eyes widened: "You mean, he drank that water because he wanted to get pregnant?"
Wang Xiaojian drank a lot of river water until he couldn't eat anymore. No one knew why he did it. Even when Zhang Weihong asked him several times, he wouldn't say.
When he got impatient, he said he was just thirsty.
But how could anyone believe such a thing?
After all, he was her own son, and Zhang Weihong knew him well.
Now that Shen Zhixia has revealed the truth, Zhang Weihong is furious.
She clenched her fist, feeling it harden, and began searching for sticks, preparing to give Wang Xiaojian a good beating.
When Shen Zhixia saw Zhang Weihong grab a stick and storm off to find Wang Xiaojian, she was taken aback and quickly said, "No, Sister-in-law Zhang, this is all my fault, please don't hit Wang Xiaojian."
Wang Xiaojian is sick, how can we continue to beat him?
Zhang Weihong said, "Girl, you don't understand. I absolutely cannot stand him drinking water for such an excuse. Do you think he has something wrong with his head?"
Shen Zhixia: "..."
She didn't actually know either.
Such words sound like a lie, so why didn't Wang Xiaojian suspect anything at all? Not only did he not suspect anything, but he also drank the untreated water.
this……
Zhang Weihong said with exasperation, "I'm so angry! How could someone as smart as me give birth to such a son? It must be Wang Jianhua's fault. I think Wang Jianhua is stupid, which is why he gave birth to such a son."
Shen Zhixia: "...Sister-in-law, let's wait until he's better before we talk about it."
Despite not hitting him because he was her own son, Zhang Weihong kept a record of the incident, knowing she would give Wang Xiaojian a good beating sooner or later.
Wang Xiaojian, who was lying in bed, sneezed several times.
Someone must be thinking about him.
When Shen Zhixia returned, she saw Huo Chunyan and her mother cooking. Huo Chunyan looked dejected and sad.
"What's wrong?" Shen Zhixia asked curiously.
Huo Chunyan is usually very busy. She works at the health center and lives in the women's dormitory. She rarely comes here. Some time ago, she was assigned to work as a nurse in another place and rarely comes back.
She is 25 years old and still single. Although her family had previously considered arranging blind dates for her, she is a workaholic and simply doesn't want to.
Unexpectedly, she actually came over and even cooked with Huo's mother.
Shouldn't she be at work right now?
Huo Chenzhou sighed, "The health center is gone, and Chunyan has been overthrown. She has nothing to do now."
Shen Zhixia: "?"
Huo Chunyan is a workaholic. Now that she's lost her job, she must be feeling terrible.
Shen Zhixia frowned and said, "I thought the health center would be safer, but I didn't expect it to be this bad?"
After all, the health center is located within the military compound.
Huo Chenzhou said, "The situation is getting more and more serious. Not to mention the health center, even some soldiers have been defeated."
Shen Zhixia asked nervously, "Will I implicate you?"
Although she felt that her current identity was much clearer, she was not afraid even if there was a real confrontation. After all, she had personally sent Shen's father to prison and had also donated so much money. In the end, the country would probably let her off the hook.
But it's better to be safe than sorry.
Huo Chenzhou said, "Don't worry, I will protect you."
Mrs. Huo was making soup.
Lately, she's been making chicken soup, pig's trotter soup, and all sorts of nutritious soups. Only by drinking these soups can she get the nutrition to produce milk.
Shen Zhixia really enjoyed these soups, so she had no problem with them.
The Huo family had a clean background; three generations of them were poor farmers with no problems whatsoever. So even if a political movement came, they had nothing to fear.
Huo's mother said, "It's good that you're out of work. I saw that your job was tough, and now you don't have to do it anymore. Let your older brother help you find a partner. Anyway, there are plenty of partners in the military camp. Find a good one."
Huo Chunyan retorted angrily, "No, I won't do it. I won't get married, I'll never get married in this lifetime."
Mother Huo said, "Men should marry when they are of age and women should marry when they are of age. Look at your eldest brother, he already has a child, but you still don't have a partner. Aren't you making me anxious?"
"What's the rush? There's no benefit to marriage anyway, so I don't want to get married. Marriage is just my karma coming back to haunt me. If I get married, then bad luck will start," Huo Chunyan said with disgust.
Mrs. Huo usually had a good temper, but at this moment she also became a little angry.
"You're talking nonsense."
Huo Chunyan said, "I plan to never get married. Who says people have to get married? I feel pretty good living alone."
Shen Zhixia's eyes crinkled into a smile, and she couldn't help but laugh.
She actually thought Huo Chunyan was right, but she didn't expect Huo Chunyan's ideas to be so avant-garde.
Huo's mother felt extremely troubled: "Look at the girls your age, they all have grown up and their children are already quite big. You're the only one who isn't getting married. If you don't get married, there will be no one to take care of you in the future, and no children to support you in your old age."
Huo Chunyan: "Even if I get married, no one will take care of me. I might even end up taking care of him. Besides, my child might not support me in my old age and could even bleed me dry. So why should I get married and have children? It's completely unnecessary."
Mrs. Huo was so angry that her chest ached. She quickly said, "Chen Zhou, why don't you hurry up and talk to your sister?"
Huo Chenzhou glanced at Huo Chunyan and warned, "Speak properly."
Huo Chunyan retorted, "I have always been expressing my thoughts clearly; this is what I truly believe."
Shen Zhixia didn't interrupt them; she just listened to their conversation.
After dinner, Mrs. Huo was in a bad mood. She said to Shen Zhixia, "My daughter is such a headache. You two are about the same age. If you have time, you should talk to her and tell her to get married and have children soon."
Shen Zhixia thought for a moment and smiled, "Okay, I'll ask her opinion later."
Huo Chunyan may not actually be truly unmarriageable; she just hasn't met the right person yet.
