Mrs. Wang was forced into a corner by Zhao Youfu and had to rack her brains. Finally, she came up with a solution. She whispered a few words in Zhao Youfu's ear.

Then she opened the door and went in, raising her voice: "Mom, I learned a new way to make chicken soup."

"Just talk if you want to. Why are you being so loud? And you slammed the door so loudly, you scared your little sister."

Old Mrs. Yang in the inner room frowned.

Mrs. Wang gave a wry smile and went into the house. "I was just too excited. I remembered that one time when I was out chatting, I heard someone say that a young woman got pregnant by drinking boy's urine. I thought I'd go to our courtyard and find Erdan's wife. Her child is only a month old. I'll ask for some boy's urine and add it to the chicken soup. My little sister won't be able to tell by drinking it."

Wang Qiuju shook her head in fear: "Mom, I don't want to drink."

Old Mrs. Yang had also heard this statement, but since her daughter didn't agree, she let it go.

Mrs. Wang said with regret: "If my sister doesn't want to try, then forget it. After all, my sister has been pregnant before, so it's not that she can't have children. I think it's just a matter of time. Let's wait a little longer."

As soon as she said this, the expressions of the mother and daughter on the bed changed drastically.

Wang Qiuju panicked but quickly calmed down: "What nonsense are you talking about?"

But Old Lady Yang lost her patience, her face falling as she began to question Mrs. Wang: "How did you know?"

Wang Qiuju screamed, "Mom, you said the wrong thing."

Old Lady Yang knew that she had her daughter-in-law in her control. Even if she knew, she was not afraid. She held Wang Qiuju in her arms and comforted her:

"Don't worry, if your sister-in-law dares to say anything nonsense, I will kill her."

A hint of satisfaction flashed across Mrs. Wang's lowered eyes. That damn old woman always suppressed her.

I agreed to the marriage because I saw that Old Lady Yang had a job. My mother-in-law can use her salary to support the family, and she can also pass on her job to me, the eldest daughter-in-law, in the future.

Unexpectedly, just after she got married and became pregnant, Old Lady Yang couldn't wait to transfer her job to her sister-in-law who was an educated youth in the countryside so that her sister-in-law could return to the city.

It was no use for her to make a fuss. She couldn't divorce and remarry while she was pregnant. In the end, she had to give half of her sister-in-law's salary to the family.

After the younger sister-in-law married Zhao Youfu, Old Lady Yang only asked her to pay one-third of her salary.

But starting this year, her husband's salary increased, and Old Lady Yang refused to pay even one-third of her sister-in-law's salary.

But she had to be taken care of just like before, with good food and drink. She couldn't help but complain in her heart. This time Zhao Youfu heard it. It was God's will, so she really couldn't blame herself.

Wang Qiuju keenly sensed something was wrong: "Sister-in-law, what's with that expression on your face?"

Mrs. Wang raised her head and smiled with pretended distress:

"Don't worry, I won't say anything. If your eldest brother hadn't gotten drunk and kept talking about this in the middle of the night, I wouldn't have known about it. It's okay if you can't have children. We'll let your nephew take care of you in your old age."

Zhao Youfu, who heard all this in the main room, felt so angry that his blood rushed to his head. Wang Qiuju couldn't give birth, so he would have no descendants.

Before hearing why Wang Qiuju couldn't give birth, he continued to endure it, afraid that he would run away impulsively, so he bit his hand hard and it drew blood.

Old Lady Yang cursed angrily, "Poor Boss, you confessed everything after drinking some cat urine. I'll never talk to you again. Oh, you better keep this secret to yourself until you die. If I find out you've revealed it, I'll skin you alive."

Mrs. Wang pretended to be frightened and trembled, but her words were very bold.

"I definitely won't tell you. After all, my sister went to the countryside for us. If she hadn't wanted to feed the family, she wouldn't have married in the village. Then she aborted the baby in order to return to the city. That's why she hasn't been able to get pregnant for several years now."

Wang Qiuju looked gloomy. The Wang family was extremely poor back then. As the only girl, she was loved by her parents and brothers. She also wanted to do something for her family.

She hadn't expected life in the countryside to be so hard, with endless farm work. She couldn't bear it any longer, so she agreed to get married. However, she didn't expect her mother to immediately transfer the job to her after her brother and sister-in-law got married.

At that time, she was already three months pregnant. She stayed in the village for the sake of her child, facing the loess and working hard without even having enough to eat.

She hesitated for a few days and finally chose the latter: should she go back to the city to work as a worker and eat the rationed food?

Afraid that her then-husband would stop her, she got up at night and deliberately dropped the child, then knelt on the ground begging the family to let her go.

Fortunately, people in the village don’t require marriage certificates, so her return to the city was not affected and she was able to get married as usual.

She only occasionally wondered at night whether her child was a boy or a girl. If he had been born then, he would be the same age as her nephew Jiahu now, which would be 5 years old.

Seeing her daughter's downcast expression, Old Lady Yang glared at Mrs. Wang fiercely and said, "Alright, let's not talk about those trivial things anymore. Just shut up."

Zhao Youfu at the door was so angry that his veins popped out. Wang Qiuju had actually been married and had a child. Wasn't she just making a fool of him?

"Uncle, why are you lying here? Are you eavesdropping on adults' conversations like me?"

Five-year-old Wang Jiahu came back from playing outside and saw Zhao Youfu squatting by the door, so he asked.

The people in the room were startled.

Old Mrs. Yang and Wang Qiuju hurried out, and Mrs. Wang smiled where they couldn't see her.

Wang Qiuju was anxious: "Youfu, when did you come, and what did you hear?"

Zhao Youfu's eyes were red and he looked frantic: "I was here a long time ago. Why didn't you tell me that you were married and had an abortion?"
