When He Yi woke up again, it was already the evening of the next day.
I was starving, but there was no one around me.
He had an IV drip in his hand and couldn't move.
He was the only one in the ward, and the setting sun shining on his face made him feel sad.
"Is anyone there?" His voice was hoarse and unintelligible because he had vomited so many times.
No one responded to him, there was no movement at all.
He felt helpless and fragile. He wanted to cry, but he no longer had the strength to do so.
It wasn't until the third morning that anyone came.
He was almost fainting from hunger at this time, but he didn't have time to eat, and was dragged back home.
Before I even had dinner, my hair was pulled.
"You vicious husband, you actually drugged my daughter's food. My daughter thought you weren't full and even changed the bowl for you. How did you treat her?"
Tang's father was almost mad with anger. When he found out that Tang had drugged his precious daughter, he was so angry that he wanted to slap him dozens of times. But he endured it for a day and only came to find him when he was no longer so angry.
He Yi raised his chin, only to see stars and be unable to utter a single word due to his weakness.
From that day on, He Yi's status became lower and lower.
Specifically, all housework must be done, someone must be watching you at all times when you are cooking, and you only have vegetables and tofu for meals.
Tang's father said, "It has vegetables, protein, and carbohydrates. The doctor said it's nutritious. You should keep eating it until you give birth."
He Yi tried to resist, but he found that in this world, the power of women and men was interchangeable. He belonged to the group with less strength and could not beat anyone.
I can only accept it all silently.
Moreover, he found that even though the food he ate was not very nutritious, his body was still visibly swelling.
My face has become thicker and my thighs have become thicker. I have a lot of spots and acne on my face.
Ugly lines left marks on his skin.
His consciousness has been here for more than a month, and he has gradually adapted to life here.
To be honest, a large part of his thoughts have been assimilated, so he cares a lot about his appearance.
Under the influence of hormones, he particularly likes the baby in his belly.
Moreover, he became extremely sensitive.
Although he felt nauseous when he saw Tang Wan's face, he couldn't help but get closer to her physically. He asked her again and again, stubbornly: "Do you love me? Why do you want to marry me?"
Without exception, all I got was silence or perfunctory responses.
In this family, no one talks to him, or to be more precise, no one treats him as a human being.
What's more terrifying is that he can't control his body. He will leak urine when he sneezes, and often makes himself dirty and miserable.
He is almost depressed in this family.
So, that day, he obediently prepared a table full of delicious food and discussed and asked if he could go out to work.
Rarely, no one rejected him.
Tang Wan just said with a half-smile: "Okay, go out and try and see who wants you."
He didn't hear the hidden meaning in the words, he just felt extremely happy that he could finally go out to work.
Going out to work means financial independence and not being bound by others. He doesn't have to work like a slave in this family, receiving a few thousand yuan for living expenses every month and being looked down upon by others.
He borrowed a few hundred dollars from a friend.
These friends were also good friends with him in the previous world.
But in their previous lives, they were at least small bosses, and now, they are all trapped in their families, raising children.
He had to borrow several hundred dollars from several people. He decided to help these friends out of their misery once he found a job.
He couldn't wait and used the money to buy himself a new set of clothes.
Clothes make the man, and saddles make the horse. I have to say that after he put on new clothes, he did look less embarrassed.
However, his face was still greasy and his belly was bulging, which made him look weird.
He took his graduation certificate and resume, and went to the company where he had applied for a job in his previous life with full confidence.
Along the way, he was in a good mood and his heart was pounding with excitement.
He's going to have a job!
Half an hour later, He Yi came out covered in dust and dirt.
The woman who interviewed him smiled and adjusted her gold-rimmed glasses: "I'm sorry, sir, you don't meet the requirements of our company."
He explained anxiously: "My academic qualifications are sufficient, and I have some experience before. Can you take another look at me?"
The female HR asked him a few pointed questions: "How will you balance family and work after joining the company?"
"And I see you're pregnant. Do you need to take maternity leave within a few months of joining the company?"
"Also, I see that you have been out of work for two years. What have you been doing during this time?"
He Yi stammered and couldn't utter a word.
I can only come out in shame.
He interviewed several small companies and ran around until his legs were broken, but without exception, he was rejected by all of them.
Some of them were because of his poor appearance, some were because some companies simply did not hire men, and some were because he was a pregnant man, and this identity was too sensitive.
If something goes wrong, most companies cannot take responsibility.
Moreover, she is looking for a job just when she is about to give birth. Isn't she just trying to get maternity leave for free? It seems like everyone understands her little thoughts.
He Yi repeatedly assured him that she could take maternity leave, but no one listened to him.
Who would believe that? If you report it directly, you will still be able to take your maternity leave.
He interviewed for a whole day, his feet were sore from walking, but still got nothing.
His shirt and suit were wrinkled and stained with sweat and cigarette smoke.
His hair was also wet and stuck to his face.
He specially wore a pair of high-heeled shoes, which rubbed his heels raw, but despite his efforts, he still didn't look presentable.
Just because he is a man, just because he is a man who gets pregnant and gives birth to a child?
He used the remaining money to buy some vegetables and went home dejectedly.
When Tang's father saw him coming back, he immediately started to mock him: "Oh, you're back? I wonder what kind of job our young master is doing?"
He Yi's face turned pale, but he didn't dare to move his hands. He went to cook timidly.
As expected, this matter was brought up at the dinner table that night, and he was ridiculed again.
In an instant, he was enveloped by a mixture of grievance and bitterness: "Why do you say that to me?!"
"Why? You eat our food, spend our money, and you haven't worked for two years. We are the ones who support you. Why do you say that?"
Tang's father snorted disdainfully and didn't tolerate him at all.
