Chapter 120 Da Ya Collapse

Shu Yu took a deep breath, looking at Daya sitting there, her fingers fidgeting anxiously, and thought of the suffering she had endured over the past two years. She thought of how Daya was pointed at and gossiped about because she wasn't pregnant, how she was tormented by the Zhang family, and how she had to bear immense psychological pressure.

Shu Yu felt sorry for her. She put her arm around Daya's shoulder and whispered in her ear, "Sister, consummating the marriage isn't like that. It's not like two people sleeping in the same bed can have a child."

She gently and simply explained to Daya, who had been married for two years and was still completely clueless, what the relationship between men and women, the pleasure of fish and water, meant.

Incidentally, she also mentioned that the decision of whether to have a boy or a girl rests with the man.

Daya was increasingly shocked as she listened. She didn't even have time to think about why her unmarried sister would know so much about such things before her worldview was turned upside down and she was so stunned that she didn't say a word for a long time.

After a while, her body began to tremble slightly, and the trembling became more and more violent until she could no longer sit still and was about to slip to the ground.

"So, therefore, I, I..."

Shu Yu gripped her shoulders tightly. "Sister, you're still a virgin. It's not that you can't have children, it's that you simply don't have the chance. Zhang Shu has ruined you for two years; he's been lying to you the whole time."

"But, but why? What good does he get out of doing this?" Daya's lips trembled, and she finally couldn't hold back her tears. "What is he after? He said he likes children. He's been lying to me for the past two years, and he's let his parents, brother, and sister-in-law keep cursing me, and let the villagers gossip about me behind my back. He's never said a word in my defense."

Shu Yu sneered, "Either he's no good, or..."

Thinking of another possibility, Shu Yu's face turned ashen.

She patted Daya on the back, "Sister, don't be afraid, you still have us. We won't let them bully you anymore."

Daya looked up and stared blankly at her. After a long while, she finally broke down, hugged her tightly, and cried out, "Ayu, these past two years have been so hard for me. I can't take it anymore. So many times, I've looked at the water in that stream and thought about just jumping in and ending it all."

Shu Yu tightened her grip, exerting slight force, her eyes turning red.

Zhang Shuzhen deserves to die.

"Lu girl, Lu girl? What happened?" Doctor Xu's voice suddenly came from outside the door.

It was probably Da Ya's sudden crying that made him think something had happened.

Shu Yu quickly replied, "It's nothing." She took a handkerchief and wiped Daya's face, then said softly, "You rest here for a while, I'm going out for a bit."

Daya choked back a sob and gave a soft "Mmm".

Shu Yu went out and chatted with Dr. Xu for a few minutes, then took the medicine Dr. Xu prescribed and went back inside.

Daya calmed down a little, but she was extremely weak. Shuyu helped her sit up for a while before she stood up and said, "Let's go home first."

“…Okay.” Daya’s voice was slightly hoarse. She stumbled when she stood up, but fortunately Shuyu caught her.

Daya forced a smile at her, and the two went out together.

Doctor Xu glanced at Daya's swollen eyes, said nothing, but told Shuyu to bring Sanya over for him to see another day.

Da Ya remained silent for the rest of the time; her mind was in turmoil.

Shu Yu returned to the shop, handed the keys to Engineer Zheng, and then planned to go back to the village first.

Only after they were on the mule cart and out of town did Shuyu ask Daya, "Do you want a divorce now?"

She longed for him, desperately wanted to. Daya hated Zhang Shu intensely and had no desire to continue living with him.
