"Liu Rumeng! Come in!"
When the nurse called her name, Liu Rumeng hurried in.
Ten minutes later, Liu Rumeng walked out of the gynecology clinic in a daze.
Hospital departments at that time were not like those in later generations. They would not respect patients' privacy and keep their doors closed tightly. Only you could hear what the doctor said to you.
Just now, when Liu Rumeng was talking to the doctor inside, the women waiting at the door heard it all.
so……
When Liu Rumeng left with a dejected look on her face, the women immediately started gossiping.
"Ah! I didn't expect such a beautiful girl to be infertile?"
"What a pity! Judging from her appearance, she must be married! She came to the hospital alone, probably because she didn't want her husband's family to know."
"Of course not. If her in-laws knew about this, she would definitely be kicked out of the house. Who would want a hen that can't lay eggs?"
"That's right! That's right! Divorce her as soon as possible and let your son find another one. Otherwise, the family's incense will be cut off, and it will be a shame to our ancestors."
"I don't know which family suffered such bad luck, marrying a woman who can't have children. Isn't this a loss to my grandmother's family? It's not easy to marry a daughter-in-law nowadays."
"It seems like this girl is still trying to hide it from her husband's family! Eh! But how can she keep this secret? It's okay if she hasn't given birth for one or two years, but if she still can't give birth for three or five years, then her husband's family will become the laughing stock of the whole village..."
…
The women were talking so loudly that Liu Rumeng, who had just turned the corner of the stairs, stopped and heard it all.
Then she...
Tears suddenly flowed down in two lines.
He leaned against the stairs and sobbed silently.
"Awang! I'm sorry! I'm sorry! Why is my stomach so disappointing?"
"Awang! I am a hen that can't lay eggs. Will you...will you still want me?"
"Awang! My Awang! But even if you want me, I don't have the face to stay in your house. I... I can't give you a child, so I'm not a real woman."
…
Liu Rumeng had forgotten how she got back to the Linjiagou Production Brigade. It was not until she got off the tractor and saw the production team office at the entrance of the village that she quickly wiped her eyes and calmed herself down.
However, after returning to the Lin family's courtyard, Liu Rumeng still lowered her head guiltily.
"Mengmeng, you said you were going to the city to buy fabric. Have you bought it yet?"
Lin's mother also noticed that Liu Rumeng was acting strange, but she didn't point it out.
She knew that Liu Rumeng must have gone to the county hospital for a check-up under the pretext of buying fabric.
Now seeing her coming back with such a dejected expression on her face, Lin's mother guessed about 70% of the answer.
But she didn't say anything. They were all miserable people, so how could she rub salt into Liu Rumeng's wounds?
At this moment, Lin's mother was mentally prepared. If she couldn't give birth, then she couldn't give birth!
A woman is not just a tool for childbearing. She herself has been caught in the rain, so how could she have the heart to tear open Liu Rumeng's umbrella?
"I bought it... I bought it. I bought some extra so that each of us can have a set of clothes. It's just right for spring."
Liu Rumeng bit her lip and moved in the cloth she had bought.
Mother Lin took it thoughtfully, and then gently held her in her arms. Seeing that her whole body was trembling, she felt so distressed that she whispered in her ear:
"Meng Meng! Don't keep things to yourself. It makes your mother sad!
If we really can't have children, then we just don't have to have them. What are we afraid of? Women don't have to bear children for men.
If God doesn't give it to us, what else can we do? It's not our fault.
Don't be afraid that Awang will dislike you because of this. If he dares to dislike you, I will break his legs."
"Mom! Mom... Mom! But I... I really want to give birth to a child for Awang, a baby of our own..."
After being pointed out by Lin's mother, Liu Rumeng could no longer hold back her tears and emotions.
Like a burst dam, he threw himself on Lin's mother and cried loudly.
"Silly child, this kind of thing is beyond our control. When I was in the Lin family, I couldn't have a baby in the years after I gave birth to Awang. I was beaten and scolded countless times.
Being a woman has a hard life! But don’t worry, in our family, you won’t suffer, and we will never treat you badly just because you can’t have a baby.
Don’t we still have Xiaoxue? If you can’t give birth, let Xiaoxue get married and give birth to a child to be adopted by you and Awang. It’s the same thing!”
Mother Lin tried her best to comfort Liu Rumeng, but for Liu Rumeng, she would rather listen to Mother Lin scold her like an ordinary mother-in-law, calling her a hen that can't lay eggs.
Because the better Lin's mother treated her, the deeper her guilt felt and the more uncomfortable she felt.
She sighed that God was so unfair. Awang was such a good man, why couldn't she give him a child?
…
On the other side, on the train from Shanghai to Changchun.
Originally, Guo Linxian was a department-level cadre and had booked a sleeper ticket.
But before getting on the train, she somehow had someone change her sleeper ticket to a hard seat, and sat with Zhou Weiguo and Liu Jing.
This immediately made Zhou Weiguo and Liu Jing feel flattered.
"Director Guo, you don't have to take care of us. Just sit in the hard seat with us!"
Zhou Weiguo was still trying to persuade her before getting into the car.
Liu Jing also said in panic: "Yes! Director Guo, department-level cadres can take the sleeper berth. After all, the journey is a bit far, and it will take more than 30 hours to get there! Why don't you take the sleeper berth, it will be more comfortable."
