Chapter 40 Chapter 40 I can't believe this is happening to me...
Unlike the physical examination, Tang Mingli had an unusual sleepless night before receiving the results, while her mother felt at ease.
After these anxious days, I'll finally know the result tomorrow. It's like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders.
People become more open-minded as they get older, and she wasn't too worried about her outcome.
What's keeping me uneasy these days is nothing more than worrying about Tang Mingli.
But tonight, to paraphrase what my husband said before, Mingli looks to be in great health and has a lot of energy, so there's nothing to worry about.
However, while Fu's mother felt relieved, Fu Cheng'an became somewhat nervous.
When he gets nervous, he unconsciously repeats to his wife not to be nervous.
Fu's mother agreed again and again, but eventually she was so sleepy that she couldn't help but say to him, "I'm not nervous, not at all. Can I go to sleep now?"
"Alright, alright, go to sleep." Fu Cheng'an smiled, but had to admit that he was just nervous.
Fu's mother said to him, "A grown man, a soldier at that, why are you so nervous about such a small thing?"
Fu Cheng'an was speechless.
He wouldn't act like that in other situations; even if a hundred enemies stood in front of him, his heart wouldn't race.
The last time I felt nervous was probably when my wife gave birth.
Having lived for decades, it's okay to be nervous once in a while, right?
Unaware of his inner thoughts, Fu's mother urged, "Hurry up and turn off the light and go to sleep. Don't you even know what time it is?"
Fu Cheng'an glanced at the watch on the bedside table and told his wife, "It's almost eleven o'clock."
For Fu's mother, this time already counts as staying up late.
She didn't want to talk to her husband anymore, so she turned her back to him.
Seeing his wife's attitude, Fu Cheng'an didn't know what to say. He turned off the light, covered himself with the blanket, and went to sleep.

The physical examination was conducted by both the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and naturally, the results were also collected by them.
The two agreed to leave at eight o'clock in the morning, and Tang Mingli appeared on the first floor at seven fifty-five.
Although I went to bed later and for a shorter time than usual last night, I looked even more radiant.
When Fu's mother and Madam Fu saw her, they couldn't help but tease her about how well she slept.
Tang Mingli smiled shyly.
I did sleep quite well afterwards, but a happy mind and body are the best beauty treatments.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but look at her grandmother and then at her mother-in-law, and suddenly wondered how often they experienced physical and mental pleasure at their age.
In her past life, she had read a post that said men are basically useless after the age of thirty.
She had originally prepared for this, but seeing Fu Ci's performance and his self-discipline, she felt that it was not impossible for him to use it until he was forty.
Although my mother-in-law is in her forties, she does look much younger than people her age.
Not to mention Grandma, a woman in her seventies, to still have such a complexion is truly remarkable; she's a beauty among women of her age.
Seeing her daughter-in-law scrutinizing her, Fu's mother thought there was something on her face. She subconsciously touched her face and asked, "Is there something on my face?"
"No, no," Tang Mingli quickly denied.
After regaining her senses and realizing what she had been thinking, she felt that she had been impure.
She had heard from others before that married women's mental fortitude was truly astonishing, but she didn't believe it then. Now she does.
After having breakfast at home, Tang Mingli and her mother-in-law went out.
When I arrived at the hospital, I thought I could just leave after getting the test results, but it turned out that there was a doctor who would explain the results to me, and I didn't need to make an extra appointment.
The doctor first took out Fu's mother's documents and asked, "Who is Wei Yujuan?"
Fu's mother stepped forward: "Doctor, it's me."
The doctor said "oh," and pulled out her ultrasound report, saying, "The test results are all fine."
Then he pointed to her gallbladder and explained it to her in detail. By the end, Fu's mother blushed.
The doctor said her uterus was in excellent condition and even joked that she could have another child if she wanted.
However, although there were no problems, given her age, we still gave her some reminders and advised her to come to the hospital for a check-up once a year.
When it was Tang Mingli's turn, the doctor's expression suddenly turned serious. He first asked her, "Do family members need to leave?"
Tang Mingli glanced at her mother-in-law and blurted out, "No need."
I immediately felt uneasy, not understanding what the doctor meant by asking that question.
If the examination reveals something wrong, shouldn't family members be present to accompany the patient?
Upon hearing Tang Mingli say there was no need to avoid the topic, the doctor spoke directly, telling them some rather shocking news.
...
Even after leaving the hospital, Tang Mingli still couldn't believe that such a thing had happened to her.
She always thought she was very healthy.
It's not that it's unhealthy, but I never expected there to be such a problem, and it's quite heartbreaking.
Fu's mother kept a close eye on Tang Mingli, fearing that she might suddenly break down and cry.
Although she had already secretly shed tears several times, she still hoped that her daughter-in-law could hold on.
As they exited the hospital, seeing Tang Mingli's dejected and silent state, Fu's mother could no longer hold back and comforted her, "Don't be sad. Didn't the doctor say that it can be resolved with surgery?"
Although the doctor said it was a minor surgery, Fu's mother was still very distressed.
Although Tang Mingli was upset, she didn't want her mother-in-law to worry too much, so she replied, "I'm fine, I just need some time to process this news."
She's in such good health, and her periods are always on time every month, so how could she have a uterine malformation?
To be fair, although she hasn't thought about having children yet, the difference between not wanting to have children and the possibility of not having children is like heaven and earth.
Fortunately, it is not an incurable deformity. The doctor said that with surgical correction, she still has the same chance of getting pregnant as normal women.
But hearing that you have such a problem with your body still makes you feel really bad.
This was the first time Fu's mother had seen her daughter-in-law like this, and how could a woman possibly be okay after something like this? So she simply didn't believe what she was saying.
“Mingli, if you don’t want anyone to know about this, Mom will keep it a secret for you.”
Tang Mingli couldn't believe her ears.
The woman standing before her was her mother-in-law, not her biological mother. Yet, after learning that her daughter-in-law had been diagnosed with this problem, she actually offered to keep it a secret.
How can she be so good?
Tang Mingli could hold back her sadness, but she really couldn't hold back her emotions when she was moved.
"mom."
Tang Mingli hugged her mother-in-law, ignoring the stares of passersby, and silently shed tears while leaning on her mother-in-law's shoulder.
Is it because God wanted to compensate her for the suffering she endured in her past life that He gave her such a wonderful family in this life?
After crying for a while, Tang Mingli felt much better and then told her mother-in-law what she was thinking.
"Mom, I don't think there's anything to hide about this."
There's really nothing to hide.
If Fu Ci and his family dislike her because of this, it's better to realize it sooner rather than later, so that the longer they get along, the deeper their feelings become, and the more painful it will be.
If Fu Ci and her family, after learning about this, consider it from her perspective and prioritize her health, rather than focusing on whether she can continue the family line, then it would be better for her to see things clearly sooner, and she would cherish them even more.
However, inevitably, on her way home, Tang Mingli thought more about what to do if Fu Ci and his family disliked her because of this.
Divorce was inevitable.
This physical problem was not something she wanted; the doctor said it was congenital.
If the Fu family is very concerned and believes that she is definitely unable to have children, and cannot accept a daughter-in-law who cannot have children, then leaving would be better for both sides.
They don't have to feel resentful about the injustice of fate, and she doesn't have to bear the pressure of having health problems while also suffering from her in-laws' mistreatment.
She didn't want a lose-lose situation.
So here's the question: if you get divorced, how can you survive in this day and age without a stable job?
The little money I have in my hands is definitely something I'll keep for myself. I just don't know if I can get a bigger share of the assets so that I can live a more comfortable life in the future.
I can at least stay comfortable until the special economic zone is established next year, and then I can go to Guangdong to work.
The thought of starting another life as a corporate slave made Tang Mingli feel like her life had lost its luster. But it seemed she had no other choice, since she didn't have any special skills.
A special skill...
What skills can she learn?
-
Although Tang Mingli said that this matter could not be kept secret, Fu's mother still decided not to tell anyone.
Unless she tells her herself, no fourth person will know about this.
Because Tang Mingli went upstairs to take a shower as soon as she returned, Madam Fu could only ask her mother about the test results, and she only said that everything was fine.
Afraid of giving herself away, she followed her daughter-in-law's example and used the excuse that there were many germs in the hospital, so she should take a shower and change her clothes first.
Fu's mother thought Tang Mingli was just making an excuse, unaware that Tang Mingli, who had a slight case of mysophobia, genuinely believed it.
After taking a shower, Fu's mother was afraid that her mother-in-law would bring up the medical check-up again. Fortunately, she didn't want to ask about it anymore. Instead, she chatted with her about the gossip about the neighbors in the compound that she had just heard from other old ladies that day.
When Fu Chengan returned home that evening, the first thing he did, as always, was to ask his wife about her medical examination results.
Fu's mother gave the same answer: "It's fine."
After speaking, she quickly glanced at her mother-in-law and, seeing that she didn't intend to continue the conversation, secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Fu Cheng'an finally felt relieved after a day of worry.
Afraid that her husband would continue talking about this, Fu's mother deliberately asked, "Did you go to training today?"
Fu Chengan smiled and said, "Yeah, I'm getting a little itchy."
He had hoped for a few words of praise from his wife, but instead he heard: "No wonder you smell so sweaty. Go take a shower."
After so many years of marriage, this was the first time Fu Cheng'an had ever heard his wife complain about his body odor. He felt like the sky had fallen and rushed to take a shower.
After Fu Cheng'an took a shower, Tang Mingli, who had slept all afternoon after her shower, finally came downstairs.
After a good night's sleep, her mood improved significantly, and she came to terms with some of her problems.
Although she has a congenital uterine problem that makes it difficult for her to get pregnant, from another perspective, this problem is not life-threatening; it only affects the probability of getting pregnant.
There's a saying that goes something like this: everything is a small matter except for life and death.
So, she came to terms with it.
It's not really about being open-minded. Any normal person needs time to process bad news.
She's just digesting it.
Now that I've digested it, I can face and resolve it properly.
She had already thought it through before going to bed. She would talk to Fu Ci about it first, discuss it with him, and then decide whether or not to tell her family.
After all, Grandpa and Grandma are getting old. If they can't withstand this blow and it affects their health, that would be no small matter.
So when she went downstairs and met her mother-in-law's worried gaze, she returned a reassuring look.
-
Fu Ci returned around dinnertime.
Because I was preoccupied with my mother's and wife's medical check-up results, I was a little restless today, so I decided to come home early.
Otherwise, given how busy he is, it would be good if he could come home before his wife goes to bed.
Upon entering, seeing three women sitting on the sofa chatting and laughing, the worry that had been weighing on my mind all day dissipated.
If you can chat and laugh easily, then everything must be fine.
