Chapter 54 The shocking truth
Hao Mei was petrified.
She was hallucinating, it must be...
Rutang didn't expect her mother to come out at this time, and she was petrified.
Both mother and daughter are thin-skinned people. When faced with something like this, they wish they could find a hole to crawl into.
Yu Yaoyang, the instigator, was quite stable and greeted his mother-in-law.
"Mom, have you eaten?"
"No."
Rutang felt even more embarrassed. What time was it? What kind of meal was this? She caught a glimpse of Yu Yaoyang's red earlobe out of the corner of her eye, and felt relieved.
This guy isn't as calm as he appears, right? It's not easy to see someone this shameless and shy.
Yu Yaoyang had dinner at Rutang's house before going back. Rutang made his favorite sweet and sour pork, stewed big bone soup, and also served him some rolled noodles. It was so delicious to eat rolled noodles in early summer.
Now that they both have higher incomes, Rutang is willing to spend money on food and can cut some meat every day to feed his family.
In the past, Hao Mei would definitely not be willing to eat like this, eating meat for every meal, what kind of family is that? But now her daughter earns a lot, so she can afford this little money.
In order to take care of her mother, the new daughter-in-law Rutang did not return to her husband's home, but she fulfilled all the necessary etiquette.
I made two portions of the dish. I packed the untouched portion for my mother-in-law and brother-in-law, and used a soup pot to fill it with soup. I also packed a portion of rice noodles without any mixed vegetables. I went home to boil them and mix them. They were all chewy.
After Yu Yaoyang left, Rutang took two more sheets of skin to the main house. Her mother said that Zhang Lang came back in the morning and had a fight with Li Hua. Li Hua beat him up and sent him out with bruises on his head. Since then, Li Hua has not left the house.
Rutang knocked on the door, and Li Hua's weak voice came from inside: "Come in."
The room was in a mess, with porcelain fragments all over the floor and broken cups and bowls everywhere.
Li Hua sat on the bed with lifeless eyes. When he saw Rutang coming in, he forced a smile.
"I'm sorry to make you laugh. I don't have the heart to clean this up."
"What time is it? Why are you still talking about this? Have you eaten?"
Li Hua shook his head.
Rutang took the la noodle and went back home. After a while, he came back with rice and two dishes. The la noodle was already mixed.
Although the meal looked delicious, Li Hua couldn't eat a single bite and kept sighing at the food.
"Sister Hua, please eat a little. When you're done, I'll tell you something."
"What's the matter? I have no appetite at all now." Li Hua felt his stomach was burning and his breath was hot.
"You are suffering from internal heat. I will give you some Niuhuang Jiedu tablets. Just listen to me and take a bite. I guarantee that the news will surprise you."
Rutang was afraid that she would get sick from overeating, so he coaxed her into eating half a bowl of rice.
Li Hua couldn't eat any more after eating half a bowl of food. She was so worried that she leaned against the head of the bed, waiting for Rutang's big news.
"Sister Hua, I discussed this with my boyfriend yesterday and I think there's something wrong with your family. Your mother-in-law is someone who likes to take advantage of others. If you really can't have children, she should be hoping that you'll get a divorce. Aren't you surprised?"
"She said she asked someone to look at our horoscopes and they said that our horoscopes are compatible," said Li Hua.
"If it's really a matter of fate, why would she keep saying that you're unlucky for her husband?"
Li Hua fell into deep thought. After hearing Rutang's words, it seemed really strange.
"Why did his family do this?"
"If I wanted to cheer you up, I would definitely say that you are so capable, a good hand at home and outside, and that you have all the good qualities of a northern woman. Although I think so, in the eyes of his family, these are definitely not as important as the child."
Rutang was not worried about being too intimate with others. She could see that Li Hua was not the kind of person who would haggle over trivial matters. It was easiest to communicate with such an open-minded person. Just say what you want to say directly without beating around the bush.
"Then what do they want from me?" Li Hua was completely attracted to Rutang. He felt open-minded and happy chatting with her.
"Let me make a bold assumption. Sister, are you sure you can't have children? Has he seen it? Having a child is a matter between two people. Is the responsibility really yours?"
"How could it not be with me? I'm seeing an old Chinese doctor who specializes in this. He's very famous." Li Hua's first reaction was, impossible, absolutely impossible!
I have been taking the medicine for several years, how could it be fake?
"Have you gone to the maternal and child care clinic?"
"I went there and registered to see a Western doctor. He said there was nothing wrong with me, except that I had irregular menstruation, so I went to see a Chinese doctor."
If Rutang had just made a bold guess at first, she felt more confident after hearing what Li Hua said.
"Who found the old Chinese doctor? Did his family ask for help?"
"Yes - ah!" Li Hua reacted, his eyes widened in disbelief and he covered his mouth.
Rutang nodded.
"The regular hospital said you were fine, so why did they force you to take Chinese medicine? The old Chinese doctor was hired by his family, so how can it be said that it's just a matter of a word from him? He never went for a check-up from beginning to end, so how do you know that the problem is not with him?"
"No, no... We have been married for more than ten years, how could he hurt me like this?" Li Hua felt cold all over, and his eyes subconsciously fell on the Chinese medicine residue that had not yet been dried thoroughly.
If Lao Zhang really had infertility problems as Rutang said, then why didn't he take medicine himself and lied to her that he had been taking medicine for so many years?
"I have only analyzed the problem from a logical point of view. You have to verify it yourself. But from an outsider's perspective, I think the most urgent thing is that you should find a reliable hospital and have a thorough check-up. Not only should you check for fertility issues, but you should also check your liver and kidneys after taking Chinese medicine for so many years."
All medicines are poisonous to some extent. If you take medicines like this all the time, even a healthy person will get sick.
Li Hua's blood ran cold, and her heart was even colder. This woman, who was always impetuous, suddenly trembled fragilely.
Her strength could withstand the cold wind outside, but she never expected that the person next to her would plot against her in such a cruel way.
"Tang'er, if you have nothing to do in the afternoon, can you accompany me to take a look?" Li Hua even changed the way he addressed Rutang.
Rutang nodded. It was still early and she had nothing to do anyway, so she decided to stay with Li Hua. Li Hua was not in a good condition and was in a trance. She was also afraid that something might happen to Li Hua if he went out alone.
The two women hit it off immediately. Rutang went into the house, got her wallet, and followed Li Hua out the door.
After registering at the hospital and telling the doctor about the situation, Li Hua immediately underwent a comprehensive examination, focusing on liver and kidney function.
This investigation scared Li Hua.
She is not infertile at all, but her kidneys have suffered renal tubular damage due to years of taking Chinese medicine. Her plump body is actually due to edema, which is also caused by kidney damage.
What the doctor said next made Li Hua even more frightened.
