Song Yining knew this matter was very crucial. Sometimes the fault didn't lie with the woman, but people's ignorance led them to blame everything on her.
Hearing my sister-in-law's words, I understood something: people are still somewhat resistant to going to the hospital.
"Sister-in-law, whether or not a woman can have a baby is not something she can decide. Sometimes men can't have babies either; it can be either natural or acquired."
"There are such things that we didn't know about."
"Could we go visit your parents' home? I want to help your sister."
Is that okay?
"Just do as I tell you. You'll understand once you see it. Hurry up and pack your things. I'll go with you." Zhang Datao noticed her eldest daughter-in-law's hesitation and quickly told her to pack her things.
Only women know the hardships women endure. A beautiful child is wasted in just a few years, becoming unrecognizable, and no one can bear to see it.
If my daughter were treated like this by her in-laws, I would definitely go to their door to protest.
After the three finished packing their things, Yang Chunlin saw this and quickly called to his eldest son, "Hurry up and have your Uncle Yang hitch up the oxcart and take them there. You stay there and watch over them. If anything happens, come back and let us know."
The group quickly packed up and went to Old Man Yang's place. They took an oxcart and arrived at the next village an hour later. Wang was a common surname in their village, and most of the villagers were related by blood.
When Wang Zhaoli arrived at his cousin's house, he saw that the door was ajar. He went straight in and saw his cousin sitting under the eaves, smoking a pipe and looking very worried.
Seeing his cousin arrive, he forced a smile and said, "Zhaoli, you're back today. Hongli is inside."
"Uncle, I have some things to discuss with Hongli today. I brought a girl with me; she's from a big city and knows more than we do. I'll call them in first."
After saying that, he opened the door and let them in, inviting them to sit inside.
When Wang Zhaoli saw his aunt coming out of the backyard, he quickly greeted her, "Auntie, I have something to say. Let's go inside Hongli's house to talk."
When Wang Hongli heard that someone had come to her house, she stopped what she was doing and tidied up the house.
As I was about to come out, I saw my mother, my cousin, and a girl I didn't recognize walk in.
Wang Zhaoli looked at the unfamiliar girl and smiled and nodded.
Song Yining looked at the girl who had been wasting her life, so thin she was barely recognizable, and yet she was still thinking about getting pregnant.
That's wishful thinking. You can tell at a glance that that family isn't easy to get along with.
Judging from the girl's features, she must have been very beautiful before. The determined look in her eyes shows that she is a thoughtful person.
She didn't wallow in self-pity because of the divorce; she was assertive, generous, and kept the house spotless.
Upon seeing this, Zhang Datao exclaimed, "Young lady, your house is so tidy! Look at the soles your child made—they're beautiful, and the craftsmanship is impeccable!"
He Ying forced a smile with a worried look on her face, "My daughter did it all. My skills aren't that good."
"That's because you taught us so well; we just couldn't do something this meticulous," several people chimed in.
The group sat down and looked at Wang Hongli, feeling uneasy. That family was just not good.
They ruined their perfectly good daughter like this, then sent her back, and she even got the reputation of being unable to have children.
"Sister, we also want to ask today whether the child was taken to the hospital for a check-up back then."
He Ying and Wang Hongli both shook their heads and looked at Zhang Datao.
Zhang Datao looked at Song Yining, "Ningning, you should tell them!"
“You didn’t have any tests done at the time. You lived together for more than three years and you still couldn’t get pregnant. They just said you were infertile without any warning signs. Was there anything strange about their family before you got divorced?”
Wang Hongli looked at the group and then told them in detail about her recent life at the Li family.
“The Song family is small, with only one son and one daughter. When I married into the family, it was just his parents and his sister-in-law. We lived quite well.” He finished speaking with a wry smile.
“I don’t have a job, but his parents both have to work, and my sister-in-law is in school. I take care of all the housework.”
We did the same work every day. At first, we were doing well, but gradually Song Zhiguo started coming back occasionally. He was basically working overtime and rarely brought money home.
Since his promotion, he rarely comes home. My mother-in-law is always complaining that I can't win over her son, and she avoids me constantly. My sister-in-law has also started to make things difficult for me.
As she spoke, tears streamed down her face. "I have no money and I still have to take care of my family's daily life. I basically do all the handicraft work on my own."
They supported us like this for a year. I was afraid of my parents at home, so I rarely came back. My younger brother would occasionally come over to bring me some groceries.
He Ying burst into tears upon hearing what her daughter said. "How could you be so...? We were worried that you would marry into a family that wasn't a good match for us. It sounded nice, so we would have your younger brother bring you some vegetables from time to time. We never expected that you would live such a life."
Why didn't we think of that? If you weren't doing well, you should have gone to see for yourself. Your younger brother was also young, so we didn't notice either." She finished speaking and sobbed softly.
After listening, everyone was certain that Song Zhiguo had a problem; he must already have a family outside, or his mistress must be pregnant.
They've been together for a year, and now they're only rushing to get a divorce? It must be because she's pregnant outside of marriage and can't keep it a secret anymore.
After listening to what Wang Hongli said, Song Yining sat down next to her and said, "Give me your hand, I'll take a look at it for you."
Everyone watched as Song Yining took Wang Hongli's pulse, not daring to breathe. As time passed, Song Yining's tightly furrowed brows slowly relaxed.
Seeing that she had let go of Wang Hongli's hand, he looked at her anxiously.
"Your body is severely depleted. Long-term fatigue and excessive worry have caused you to become increasingly thin."
Fortunately, she has a good constitution and will recover with proper care. As for the claim that she cannot get pregnant, that's nonsense.
You should still go to the hospital for a checkup. That way, you won't have to bear the stigma of not being able to have children.
Upon hearing that her daughter was healthy, He Ying immediately had a plan.
Excitedly, she grabbed her daughter's hand and said, "Come on, let's go to the county town to investigate right now. If the Song family dares to do this, we'll demand an explanation."
Hearing his wife's excited voice, Wang Zhijun rushed in anxiously, "What's wrong?"
Upon seeing her husband, He Ying, she burst into tears, saying, "Our daughter is healthy enough to have children, but she's severely depleted. She just needs some rest. We'll go to the hospital to get a certificate. The Song family has been bullying us like this; we have to get an explanation."
Hearing what his wife said, and seeing the oxcart that his niece and the others had brought, Wang Zhijun said apologetically, "Zhaoli, could you give your uncle and your sister a ride to the hospital together?"
Before Wang Zhaoli could speak, Zhang Datao interjected, "Uncle, don't be so polite, we're here to help you today."
After Zhang Datao and Song Yining accompanied the Wang family to the hospital, Wang Zhaoli went back to her parents' home with her uncle to explain the situation, and both sides also took the time to discuss it with their families.
This kind of bullying of their family's children will bring shame to the family in the future. We must hold them accountable this time.
