Chapter 476
Recently, Zhou Jinmei was very upset because of the matchmaking for Wu Aixia.
She wanted to find a live-in son-in-law for Wu Aixia, but those who were willing to be live-in sons-in-law either came from poor families with a lot of brothers and sisters, or did not even have a proper job.
Zhou Jinmei picked and chose but couldn't find anyone she was satisfied with. Even the matchmaker was annoyed and was not willing to matchmake for Wu Aixia anymore.
In the end, Wu Aixia found a partner for herself.
The other party's family conditions are very ordinary. He has an older brother, an older sister, a younger sister, and a younger brother. The younger brother has good grades and is in high school, but his grades are very poor. After graduating from junior high school, he went to the countryside and only recently returned. He works as a sweeper at the bus station as a temporary worker.
Wu Aixia met him when she went to the bus station to buy a ticket. The two of them immediately fell in love, and after spending some time together, they started talking about marriage.
The other party had no objection to becoming a live-in son-in-law. After all, his parents had older brothers to support them in their old age and had no expectations of him. They hadn't even prepared a betrothal gift for him. If he had to save up the betrothal gift on his own, he probably wouldn't be able to get married for several years. By becoming a live-in son-in-law, he could even save on the betrothal gift.
On the day Wu Aixia and her boyfriend Han Xiaoliang got married, Zhou Jinmei held a grand ceremony in the yard. It was quite lively, but Wu Longfei was in a terrible mood.
Because of what happened between Ye Fuyun and Peng Jianxiang, everyone now knows that he can no longer have children, and they also know the reason why Wu Aixia chose to marry a live-in son-in-law.
Zhou Jinmei held such a grand wedding for Wu Aixia, as if indirectly telling everyone that he was infertile and the burden of continuing the Wu family's lineage fell on Wu Aixia.
While Zhou Jinmei was very happy about Wu Aixia's marriage, she also noticed Wu Longfei's depressed mood.
She secretly comforted Wu Longfei, "Longfei, Mom has asked someone to find you a partner."
Wu Longfei said self-deprecatingly, "My reputation has been ruined by Ye Fuyue. Who would be willing to marry me?"
"Our family's conditions are not bad, how could no one be willing to marry you? Wasn't Ye Fuyun eager to marry you back then?" Zhou Jinmei said, "It doesn't matter if you don't have children. Mom can find you a wife who can't have children either."
Wu Longfei felt that the three words "can't have children" were extremely harsh, but he had to accept this reality.
He didn't want to be laughed at for being an old bachelor, so it would be perfect for him to find a wife who had the same problems as him.
Wu Aixia and Han Xiaoliang were very happy after their marriage. They often went to work together and came home together. Wu Aixia's laughter and other sounds could often be heard at home.
Although Zhou Jinmei wasn't entirely happy with Han Xiaoliang, feeling that his family wasn't well-off and his job wasn't up to par, at least he still had a job and could earn money. Seeing how close Wu Aixia and Han Xiaoliang were, she was eager for Wu Aixia to get pregnant and give the Wu family a real, fat grandson.
However, three months passed, half a year passed, and a year passed, and there was no movement in Wu Aixia's stomach.
Zhou Jinmei was anxious and asked Wu Aixia privately, "Don't you two do that kind of thing often? Why is your stomach still not moving?"
Wu Aixia blushed at Zhou Jinmei's blunt words. She said coquettishly, "Mom, why are you so direct?"
Zhou Jinmei was speechless: "You didn't feel shy when you were screaming so loudly, but now you are shy."
She was in no mood to argue with Wu Aixia about this issue, so she asked again, "Why isn't your stomach moving yet?"
"How would I know?" Wu Aixia said, "But it's okay if there's no movement for now. I still want to spend more time with Xiaoliang as a couple."
Zhou Jinmei rolled her eyes when she heard Wu Aixia's shameless words.
"What do you mean by sex? You have to get pregnant soon to continue the Wu family's bloodline! Having a baby doesn't mean you can't have sex."
"But Xiaoliang said that if we have a baby, we must take care of the baby. We can't be as free as we are now and do whatever we want." Wu Aixia said.
"Don't listen to his nonsense. What freedom? It's not like I won't take care of your baby. Get pregnant quickly and don't delay any longer!" Zhou Jinmei urged.
Wu Aixia said "Oh", not knowing whether she understood what Zhou Jinmei said.
Three months later, Wu Aixia's belly still showed no movement.
Zhou Jinmei was completely panicked. She was worried that Wu Aixia would be unable to have children like Wu Longfei, which would be terrible.
With the previous experience of Ye Fuyun as a lesson, Zhou Jinmei didn't want to waste any more time this time. She urged Wu Aixia and Han Xiaoliang to go to the hospital for a check-up.
Wu Aixia said, "I would like to go, but Xiaoliang doesn't want to go."
Zhou Jinmei's heart skipped a beat and she asked, "Why doesn't he go?"
"Xiaoliang said there's nothing wrong with both of us, and it's only a matter of time before we get pregnant," said Wu Aixia.
When Zhou Jinmei heard that what Han Xiaoliang said was almost the same as what Wu Longfei said at the beginning, her heart sank.
She confirmed, "Did Han Xiaoliang really say that?"
Wu Aixia nodded.
"He's not the one with the problem, is he? That's why he doesn't want to go." Zhou Jinmei was confused: "Your brother didn't want to go to the hospital at the beginning, and you know what the result was."
After being reminded by Zhou Jinmei, Wu Aixia also became a little suspicious.
Zhou Jinmei was now 99% certain that the problem was definitely Han Xiaoliang. She said, "I knew it. Which man would willingly become a son-in-law? He must have known that there was something wrong with him, so he deliberately lied to you and was willing to come to our family as a son-in-law."
"That's impossible." Wu Aixia was skeptical. "He's okay in that area."
"Just because he's okay with that doesn't mean you can get pregnant!" Zhou Jinmei glared at Wu Aixia and said, "You must take him to the hospital for a checkup! If there's anything wrong with him, you two must divorce!"
Wu Aixia was completely stunned.
Her relationship with Han Xiaoliang is at its strongest right now. If Han Xiaoliang really had problems in that aspect, Wu Aixia would not be willing to divorce him.
Wu Aixia was reluctant to go to the hospital with Han Xiaoliang. Under Zhou Jinmei's repeated urging, Wu Aixia even argued with Zhou Jinmei: "You only care about continuing the Wu family's incense, and don't care about my happiness! Is the Wu family's incense so important? It's not your Zhou family's incense!"
Zhou Jinmei was so angry at Wu Aixia's words that she slapped her.
That night, she told Wu Aixia in front of Han Xiaoliang, "You two must go to the hospital for a checkup tomorrow! I'm bringing in a live-in son-in-law to continue the Wu family's legacy, not to let you two just live your own lives!"
Zhou Jinmei said it so bluntly that Wu Aixia and Han Xiaoliang had no choice but to go to the hospital.
However, when the test results came out, it turned out that the problem was with Wu Aixia, not Han Xiaoliang.
When Zhou Jinmei saw the test results, her brain completely shut down. She couldn't believe that the person with the problem was Wu Aixia.
"Impossible...impossible...absolutely impossible!" Zhou Jinmei murmured.
Han Xiaoliang had a cold expression on his face. He glanced at Zhou Jinmei and sneered.
From then on, Han Xiaoliang seemed to have changed in the Wu family.
Before, he was a bit of a coward in the Wu family. However, ever since this incident, Han Xiaoliang has become more assertive in the Wu family, showing his dissatisfaction and sometimes even talking back to Zhou Jinmei and Wu Longfei.
Zhou Jinmei didn’t know what to do because she couldn’t have a son or a daughter.
She felt like her family was struck by bad luck; who else would be unable to have both sons and daughters? She even secretly went to the temple to pray to the Buddha, but it couldn't change the situation.
Zhou Jinmei had completely forgotten that her eldest daughter Wu Aixiu, who was disliked by her, had no problem at all in this regard.
Wu Aixia was also confused by the news. She didn't expect that she would be the one in trouble.
She was very worried that Han Xiaoliang would dislike her because she couldn't have children. The fate of her brother Wu Longfei was still fresh in her mind.
She also asked Han Xiaoliang, and Han Xiaoliang gently comforted her: "How is that possible? I'm not with you just to have a baby with you."
"Then why are you with me?" Wu Aixia asked nervously.
Han Xiaoliang scratched her nose lightly and said with a smile: "Silly girl, of course I am with you because I like you."
Wu Aixia smiled happily.
However, less than half a year later, Wu Aixia discovered that Han Xiaoliang had someone outside.
She questioned Han Xiaoliang like crazy: "Didn't you say you were with me because you loved me? What does that mean now?!"
"I like you, but I also want a child, and you can't have one." Han Xiaoliang said righteously.
Wu Aixia was choked by his shameless words. After a while, she said, "So you are with her because she can have children?"
Han Xiaoliang nodded: "Yes."
"How do you know she can have a baby? What if she can't?" Wu Aixia asked.
Han Xiaoliang said, "I shouldn't be so unlucky that both of the women I like can't have children."
Wu Aixia was completely driven crazy by Han Xiaoliang's words.
She went to find that woman, forced her to leave Han Xiaoliang, and wanted to beat her.
But the woman was not a pushover either, and they started pulling each other's hair and scratching each other.
"Xiaoliang would rather marry into my family than marry me. He really likes me. He doesn't like you at all!" Wu Aixia pulled the woman's hair and yelled.
The woman also pulled Wu Aixia's hair and sneered: "He told me that you can't have children. He wants to have his own children."
Wu Aixia sneered: "He just used you as a tool to have children, and you thought he loved you so much!"
The woman smiled and said, "At least I can give birth. With a child, our relationship will naturally be better. You want to give birth but you can't. Do you want to raise my child with him?"
The woman's words completely enraged Wu Aixia. Wu Aixia fought with the woman like crazy. The two were evenly matched and both had wounds on their bodies.
Wu Aixia went back and cried to Han Xiaoliang again, but Han Xiaoliang just thought that Wu Aixia was stupid and annoying.
Half a month later, Han Xiaoliang proposed to divorce Wu Aixia, but Wu Aixia refused to agree to anything.
She said almost frantically, "Divorce? Don't even think about it! I won't divorce you and let that woman be with me!"
Han Xiaoliang was too lazy to waste words with Wu Aixia. Since Wu Aixia did not agree to divorce, he would not pretend anymore. He would come back when he wanted to, and not come back when he didn't want to.
Zhou Jinmei was furious at Han Xiaoliang's actions. She said to Wu Aixia, "If he wants a divorce, just divorce him. What are you doing with a man like him? Are you going to keep him around and let everyone laugh at you?"
"I won't divorce!" Wu Aixia said with bloodshot eyes, "If I divorce, will it mean I'm letting him and that bitch be together? If I divorce, can I get married again? My brother still can't find a wife. Do you want me to be like him?"
Wu Longfei, who was caught in the crossfire, looked extremely unhappy, and Zhou Jinmei was speechless.
Wu Aixia and Han Xiaoliang were only husband and wife in name only. Han Xiaoliang almost never came home and lived with that woman outside.
Wu Aixia wanted to go to the woman's workplace to make a scene, but she didn't even have a job. She could only go to Han Xiaoliang and the woman's place to make a scene, and she chose to go when Han Xiaoliang was at work. But the woman was shameless and let Wu Aixia come to make a scene every day without doing anything.
Wu Aixia, who couldn't even stir up any trouble, could only watch Han Xiaoliang and that woman live together, and watched that woman get pregnant and give birth to her and Han Xiaoliang's children one after another...
Wu Aixia still refused to divorce Han Xiaoliang. She even felt that as long as she did not agree to the divorce, Han Xiaoliang and that woman would never be truly happy...
