Chapter 61: Testing “What if you can’t give birth? I’ll find someone else to give birth…”

In the middle of the night, Wang Ying suddenly felt something. She quickly sat up and got out of bed to see that her period had indeed come.

Zhao Yunsheng was startled awake by Wang Ying. He propped himself up with his arms, still half asleep, and asked Wang Ying with narrowed eyes, "What's wrong with you?"

"It's okay, go to sleep." Wang Ying said.

Zhao Yunsheng didn't react at first, but when he saw Wang Ying's changed clothes, he realized what was going on.

"That one is coming." Zhao Yunsheng said.

"Yes, here it comes." Wang Ying finished his work, returned to the bed, and lay down with his back to Zhao Yunsheng.

Zhao Yunsheng hugged Wang Ying and said, "I didn't even notice it. This seems to be the first time since we got married?"

"Well, my timing is not quite right." Wang Ying couldn't tell whether she was relieved or what she felt, but she was definitely not ready to have a child.

Zhao Yunsheng stroked Wang Ying's lower abdomen and asked, "Does the inaccurate time affect your health? Do you want to go to the hospital?"

In her previous life, Wang Ying had been unable to conceive. She went to the hospital, where the doctor said her menstrual irregularities were caused by malnutrition. In her previous life, she suffered greatly in the Du family, where they treated her like a slave and carried her even when she ate. When the doctor diagnosed her with malnutrition, she used this to pressure Sun Qiaoling, claiming that they didn't feed her enough and properly, which was why she couldn't conceive. However, in this life, she figured that if she took better care of herself, her nutrition would catch up.

Wang Ying thought this was a good opportunity to test Zhao Yunsheng's attitude towards the child, so she deliberately said, "I heard that irregular menstruation can affect fertility. Do you mind?"

"Really?" Zhao Yunsheng became nervous. "Then we need to go to the hospital."

"Oh, do you mind that I can't have children?" Wang Ying said.

Zhao Yun said hurriedly, "What nonsense! I'm worried about your health. This is a loss of a person's essential functions. How terrible! Just imagine, if the functions of parts of the body like the heart and stomach were lost or weakened, wouldn't that be terrifying? Isn't that the same principle?"

"What a twisted logic." Wang Ying snorted.

"I think you're being unreasonable," Zhao Yunsheng said, biting Wang Ying's shoulder through his clothes. "And you don't trust my feelings for you."

"What if I can't give birth or don't want to give birth, what will you do?" Wang Ying said again.

Zhao Yunsheng said, "First of all, these are two different things. If you can't have children but you want to, then we'll treat them. If they can't be cured, there's nothing we can do. If you don't want to have children, then we can wait until you want to have them. If you never want to have children, then we can just stay together until we grow old, which is also fine."

"That's a nice thing to say." Wang Ying said. Although she didn't quite believe what Zhao Yunsheng said, he did coax her.

"I think you have no conscience." Zhao Yunsheng's hand moved to her chest, "It seems that I don't need to warm your stomach. I should warm your heart first, melt the ice on your heart, and then put me in it, and you will believe me."

"What if my parents urge me to have a baby?" Wang Ying pushed Zhao Yunsheng's hand to her lower abdomen again, ignoring Zhao Yunsheng's sweet words.

"Then just say that I can't give birth." Zhao Yunsheng said.

Wang Ying felt that there was no such man in the world. In her heart, she didn't trust Zhao Yunsheng. They were newly married and full of love, so he would definitely say all the good things about them. But after a while, when someone else had a child, he would definitely not think so. And her in-laws were the same. Everything was fine now, but if she really couldn't have children, it was hard to say what would happen then.

Wang Ying didn't want to test people's hearts, so if she couldn't get pregnant in this lifetime, she would intervene earlier. After all, she also wanted a daughter, and only one.

As she was thinking, she heard Zhao Yunsheng continue, "What about you? We've been married for over a month and have done it so many times, but I still haven't gotten you pregnant. Maybe it's really because I'm infertile. Do you despise me?"

"Disgusted." Wang Ying said.

"Hmm?" Zhao Yunsheng didn't expect Wang Ying to blurt out his disgust.

Wang Ying laughed: "I want a daughter. What if you can't give birth? I can find someone else to give birth."

Zhao Yunsheng snorted, "You're just relying on the fact that you have the amulet and I can't touch you. You're talking nonsense. Just wait, Xiao Yingzi, and see how I'll deal with you in a few days."

"To be honest, I want a daughter, and only one daughter." Wang Ying said in a serious tone at this time.

"Okay, let's just have one daughter," Zhao Yunsheng said. "I want a daughter, too."

"Then we have a deal." Wang Ying said.

"Okay," Zhao Yunsheng agreed, and after two seconds he said, "But what if the baby is a boy?"

Wang Ying was silent for more than ten seconds before he said, "Then let's just keep it."

"Then I'll try my best to make you pregnant with a daughter! I'll go ask my eldest brother-in-law for advice and ask him how they gave birth to Dongbao." Zhao Yunsheng said.

"Don't talk nonsense." Wang Ying patted Zhao Yunsheng's hand.

Zhao Yunsheng chuckled and asked, "Will irregular menstruation cause stomach pain?"

"I'll feel a little on the first day, but I won't feel anything in the next few days." Wang Ying said, and suddenly it occurred to her that she should build a good relationship with Deputy Director Gao, and find a way to get their paper mill to introduce a sanitary napkin production line as soon as possible. This would benefit all women. She remembered that sanitary napkins were introduced quite late in her previous life.

"Let me massage it for you." Zhao Yunsheng massaged Wang Ying's lower abdomen. His hands were warm and he massaged her gently. Wang Ying's consciousness gradually became blurred and she soon fell asleep again.

As soon as they got up in the morning, Zhao Yunsheng said, "I'll make breakfast. I heard you can't touch cold water."

Wang Ying smiled and said, "You know quite a lot."

"I read it in a book," Zhao Yunsheng said hurriedly. "Are you feeling unwell? Do you want to take some time off to rest at home?"

"No, it's no problem." Wang Ying said.

The two went downstairs. Zhao Yunsheng cooked while Wang Ying washed her own clothes with warm water. Zhao Yunsheng said he was leaving them there for her to wash, but Wang Ying ignored him.

At the same time, Wang Hui also happened to get her period at the Du family's house. However, she was so sound asleep that she didn't feel anything at all. When she woke up in the morning, the bed was unbearable and had even stained Du Jianguo's clothes.

Du Jianguo was startled and blurted out: "Oh my! What's going on?"

Sun Qiaoling had just gotten up and was passing the main room when she heard Du Jianguo's voice. She knocked on the door and asked, "Jianguo, what are you calling, Huihui? What time is it? Why haven't you gotten up yet to make breakfast?"

Wang Hui was tidying up the sheets and quilts that she had soiled, feeling annoyed. When she heard her mother-in-law urging her to cook breakfast, she became even more annoyed.

"Mom, can you burn it today? I have something to do here." Wang Hui said.

Sun Qiaoling thought they were up to no good so early in the morning and knocked on the door twice: "Open the door! What are you doing so early in the morning?"

"Wait a moment, Mom." Du Jianguo quickly changed his clothes and went to open the door for Sun Qiaoling.

As soon as the door opened, Sun Qiaoling saw the "miserable scene" in the room and frowned. Then she saw Du Jianguo taking off his clothes and throwing them on the ground, and her face became darker than the bottom of a pot.

"Huihui, why are you so careless!" Sun Qiaoling complained, "You even got it on Jianguo. It's so unlucky."

Du Jianguo originally thought it was nothing, but after hearing what his mother said, he also felt it was unlucky and glanced at Wang Hui.

"Mom, this is a very normal physiological phenomenon, don't say anything nonsense. What's unlucky or not? What if someone mentions it?" Wang Hui said.

"Don't do it yet. Go and cook breakfast first. The whole family doesn't need to go to work or school!" Sun Qiaoling also knew that it was not good to say the word "unlucky" and it would be easy for people to find fault with her, so she didn't bother about it anymore, but continued to urge Wang Hui to cook breakfast.

"Mom, just go and burn it. I need to wash these. If they are kept for a long time, they will not be washed off. They are all new." Wang Hui was a little impatient. She had her period, but her mother-in-law didn't understand her.

Sun Qiaoling muttered, "You're such an adult, and you're still in such a mess. You should wash it quickly. Make sure the bedding is clean." Then she went to the kitchen to make breakfast.

Wang Hui washed clothes and sheets all morning and didn't have time to eat breakfast. When she finished, she was hungry and wanted to eat breakfast, but she saw that there was only a little porridge at the bottom of the pot, and there was no side dish left. There was a table full of dirty bowls.

Wang Hui felt very aggrieved. She drank some porridge but was still hungry. She made up her mind, took out her best money and coupons, and went to the supply and marketing station to buy a few peach cakes.

Wang Hui was so hungry that she ate as she walked home. This wasn't the first time she had used her savings to buy food. She didn't know how her mother-in-law and two sisters-in-law could eat so little without feeling hungry. Could it be because she had eaten too well in her past life and couldn't adapt to the current life?

After swallowing a few pieces of peach cake, Wang Hui felt alive again. When she got home, the postman stopped by and asked, "Comrade, did you know that Comrade Wang Hui lives here?"

"That's me. Do you have my letter?" Wang Hui said.

"Yes." The postman took out the letter from the bag and handed it to Wang Hui, asking Wang Hui to sign.

Wang Hui looked at the return address on the letter and knew it was from Zhang Xiumin. She was so eager to read the letter as soon as she stepped through the door that she almost got hit by Du Jianguo's grandmother's cane.

"Grandma, what are you doing? How dare you hit me!" Wang Hui was furious. In this family, the elderly mother-in-law and the young Du Wenli were both openly antagonizing her. She didn't know why the old lady disliked her. It seemed that after the mooncake incident, the old lady had become more and more dissatisfied with her. Even her mother-in-law didn't give her much trouble, but this mother-in-law was doing her a lot.

"Bah, I'm going to hit you, you greedy guy, who steals food behind the family's back!" Du Jianguo's grandmother swung her walking stick and tried to hit Wang Hui.

"There was only a mouthful of porridge left for me this morning. I washed clothes all morning. Aren't you hungry?" Wang Hui was about to cry with anger. Who was so nosy that she would complain to the old lady even if she ate a peach cake.

"How dare you say that! Sloppy! Our Du family was really deceived by that wife to marry a lazy, greedy, and sloppy daughter-in-law like you!"

Wang Hui thought the wife-in-law Mrs. Du was talking about was her mother, and she became even angrier. She yelled, "Whose wife-in-law are you talking about?"

"How dare you talk back! If it weren't for the new era, a daughter-in-law like you would have been divorced!" The old lady yelled at Wang Hui with spit flying everywhere.

Wang Hui was extremely angry, but the other party was her elder and she could do nothing to her, so she had to hold the letter and go back to her room.

Old Mrs. Du became more and more angry as she thought about it. She leaned on her crutches and went to find the old lady who had secretly visited the Wang family to investigate Wang Hui and her sister on their behalf.

Wang Hui returned to her room, closed the door, opened the envelope, and read Zhang Xiumin's letter. In it, Zhang Xiumin recounted many stories of life in the countryside, describing how difficult it was, the intrigues among the educated youth, and the brutality and cruelty of the villagers. But she hadn't forgotten that her best friend was waiting for her in Beichong...

Wang Hui read Zhang Xiumin's letter twice, then sat down to write her a reply. Halfway through her letter, she heard someone outside calling her, "Jianguo's wife! Jianguo's wife, are you home?"

"Hey! I'm here." Wang Hui especially liked people calling her Jianguo's wife, which meant that she and Du Jianguo were one. Wang Hui stuffed all the letters into the drawer and left the room.

"Go to Tong's house quickly, your old lady seems to have fallen." The neighbor who came said hurriedly when he saw Wang Hui.

This damn old woman! Wang Hui cursed in her heart and said quickly, "I'll go right away! By the way, where is Aunt Tong's house?"

"It's the fifth one on the west side. Go quickly."

Wang Hui didn't even have time to lock the door and hurried west. When she reached Tong's house, she heard her mother-in-law's voice: "You old liar who can't stand seeing others doing well. You tricked our family into marrying a lazy and greedy woman."

"Are you being unreasonable? When I visited, I saw clearly that the Wang family's daughter was diligent. I think Jianguo's wife is also diligent now. She is not the one who takes charge of all the family affairs. Instead, it is your Du family who is the one who is causing trouble!"

Wang Hui stood at the door of Tong's house, hearing the conversation inside. She felt so ashamed and angry that she felt her blood was burning. How could this damn old woman corrupt her like this in someone else's home!

"Bah, stop lying. Her older sister is now the team leader of the non-staple food factory! She should have been my granddaughter-in-law! You're just talking nonsense!"

"What nonsense am I talking about? Stand up and stop making a scene in front of my house."

Wang Hui understood. This was the root of the problem! It wasn't because she wasn't diligent enough, nor was it because she was greedy. It was because of her elder sister! Wang Hui didn't know that her elder sister was the team leader, but the old woman knew. Wang Hui was furious, and at the same time, she also hated her elder sister a little.

Wang Hui pushed open the gate of Tong's house.

When the Tong family saw Wang Hui coming, they hurriedly said, "Jianguo's wife, please take your grandmother home quickly. Why are you causing trouble in my house? I wasn't even the matchmaker. I only went to visit briefly. I can't bear such a serious crime."

"Sorry, Grandma Tong, I'll help my grandma go back right now." Wang Hui felt a little grateful when she saw that the other party did not say anything bad about her.

Wang Hui walked forward and wanted to help the old lady, but saw that she was climbing up shakily with the help of crutches.

"I don't want your help."

Wang Huicai didn't want to help her. Not only did she not want to help her, she wanted to push her down and let her die, so that she wouldn't ruin her reputation in other people's homes.

Wang Hui felt aggrieved and did not hide it on her face. Her eyes were red as she followed her mother-in-law, which made the Tong family feel a little more sympathetic towards her.

Back home, Wang Hui ignored the old lady and went back to her room to write a letter to Zhang Xiumin. She was furious, so she exaggerated the story of how Wang Ying's in-laws disliked her. After finishing the letter, Wang Hui's anger seemed to subside. While shopping for groceries, she rode her bike to mail the letter.
