Wu Guoliang drove the oxcart to his doorstep and brought it to a steady stop.
He turned to Wang Xiaohua and said, "Wife, you take your younger brother and sister-in-law inside and settle them in first. I'll drive the cattle to the barn and then come back to cook."
Before Wang Xiaohua could respond, Fu Shen said, "Second Brother, wait a moment. I've put something down. I'll go with you."
Liu Xiuying just said that they have been married for more than ten years and have not had any children. Isn't that obviously saying that Wu Guoliang and Wang Xiaohua still don't have a single child?
Having no children, yet moving out to build her own house, is there some conflict between her and her older brother Wu Guoan and others?
Wu Guoliang looked at Fu Shen, as if he could see through the doubt in his heart, and nodded in agreement.
Anyway, Fu Shen will find out about their affair sooner or later, so it's better to tell him now and avoid keeping his doubts in his heart.
Wang Xiaohua stepped forward, unlocked the door, and went inside.
Fu Shen carried a bag and followed behind Su Yue side by side.
Su Yue looked up and saw that the size of the courtyard was about the same as the small courtyard of their army unit.
Two bamboo poles were set up in the corner of the yard, one for drying clothes and the other for airing bed sheets. However, the bed sheets that should have been on the bamboo poles were blown to the ground by the wind.
Wang Xiaohua saw the bed sheet lying on the ground, pointed to a room, and said to Fu Shen, "Fu Shen, you guys stay in that room. The door isn't locked. Put your things in first, and I'll go pick up the bed sheet. It's a bit windy today."
Fu Shen nodded, walked steadily to the front of the room, and gently pushed the door open.
Su Yue stood still, her gaze following Wang Xiaohua as she went to pick up the bed sheet. She noticed that there were only two sets of adult clothes on the bamboo pole.
Fu Shen put his things away, came out, and said to Su Yue, "Go and rest in the room first."
Su Yue softly hummed in agreement.
After Fu Shen left, Wang Xiaohua picked up the bed sheet and then took the clothes with her.
Holding the sheets and clothes, she smiled warmly and said, "Please come in and sit down, sister-in-law."
Su Yue replied, "Oh, okay."
After putting the clothes away, Wang Xiaohua washed the two enamel cups and gently placed them on the table. Then she picked up the kettle, poured water for Su Yue, and said, "Sister-in-law, have some water."
Su Yue accepted the cup with both hands, thanked her, and then tilted her head back to drink it down.
Then she poured herself another glass. Seeing this, Wang Xiaohua smiled and said, "Are you thirsty?"
Su Yue nodded gently: "A little."
I had lunch at noon and hadn't had a drop of water since, so I was definitely thirsty.
"Xiaohua, Xiaohua!" Suddenly, an urgent shout came from outside the door.
Upon hearing the voice, Wang Xiaohua's relaxed brows furrowed slightly, a hint of barely perceptible annoyance flashing across her face. She muttered under her breath, "Why is this person here?" Then she quickly said to Su Yue, "Sister-in-law, I'll go out and take a look."
Su Yue quickly replied, "Okay."
Su Yue secretly guessed that Wang Xiaohua probably didn't like the person outside, otherwise she wouldn't have frowned when she heard the voice.
Wang Xiaohua opened the door, her tone clearly impatient, and said, "Aunt Lin, what do you want?"
As she spoke, Aunt Lin craned her neck and peered into the courtyard. Seeing a young woman sitting in the main room, she lowered her voice and said, "Why did you bring Fu Shen and his wife back to your house? You know that you and Guo Liang have been trying for over ten years without being able to have a child, yet you still brought back people who are not related to you by blood. You'll take away all your good fortune, and how will you have children then?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Xiaohua's face flashed with anger. "Guoliang and I have no children. What does it have to do with Fu Shen and the others?"
Aunt Lin persisted, "It wasn't their business before, but it will definitely be their business in the future. You and Guoliang go to the town hospital every month for treatment, all so you can have a child. You've spent so much money, and now you've blocked the road. All that money is wasted..."
Before she could finish speaking, Wang Xiaohua angrily slammed the door shut.
Hearing the commotion, Su Yue quickly went behind Wang Xiaohua and said, "Second sister-in-law, are you alright?"
The old woman's voice was initially low, but it gradually grew louder and louder, and she could hear it all from inside the house.
Will her and Fu Shen's move into Wu Guoliang's house affect their ability to have children?
