If it really causes problems, she and Fu Shen can't stay here.
Wu Guoliang and Wang Xiaohua are both in their thirties and don't have a child yet. They can't afford to bear such a serious crime.
No wonder Wu Zhongjian said something about inconvenience; so this is what he meant by inconvenience.
Wang Xiaohua took a deep breath, trying to calm her turbulent emotions. She slowly turned around, forcing a smile on her face. "Don't listen to her nonsense. Your second brother and I don't have children because I ruined my health by taking medicine."
Su Yue asked in confusion, "Take medicine? What kind of medicine did you take?"
Wang Xiaohua narrowed her eyes, a hint of pain in them. "That goes back more than ten years..."
She lost her mother at a young age, and after her father remarried, she had a stepfather.
At the age of eighteen, she fell in love with Wu Guoliang at first sight and hastily married him, determined to escape the oppressive and suffocating home.
When Wu Guoan married Wu Guoliang, she already had two children.
Two years after she married Wu Guoliang, she still hadn't gotten pregnant.
She and Wu Guoliang weren't in a hurry. They thought they were still young, so they could work more, save more money, and have children later.
But her "good sister-in-law" Zhang Hongying was anxious.
After her mother-in-law passed away from illness, the villagers, seeing that she had no children, all showed great "concern".
Since the eldest sister-in-law is like a mother, everyone asked Zhang Hongying to think of a solution.
Zhang Hongying actually came up with a solution: she went back to her parents' home and found a medicine of some unknown species.
When the cooked food was served to her, the smell made her want to vomit; how could she possibly drink it?
She resolutely refused to drink it, and Wu Guoliang and his father Wu Zhongjian also disagreed with such reckless behavior.
Within two days, gossip about her began to circulate in the village.
They said she was ungrateful, that she had lost her mother at a young age, and that she had only been married for a few years before losing her mother-in-law. They said that her sister-in-law felt sorry for her because she didn't have any children, and that she had found her a secret recipe for having children, but she still threw a tantrum.
Zhang Hongying came over to her feigning concern and said, "Second sister-in-law, I didn't say those rumors. I have to take care of two children and work in the fields every day. I don't have time for that. Besides, we are sisters-in-law. How can we talk badly about our own family to outsiders?"
She was foolish to believe such nonsense. Not only did she believe it, she also agreed to drink the fertility medicine that Zhang Hongying had prepared.
Just to have a child as soon as possible and quell this utterly absurd gossip.
Around that time, Wu Zhongjian led all the young and strong men in the village to repair the dam, which was dozens of kilometers away from home. Wu Guoliang and his brother also went with them, and they stayed for more than a month.
She was home alone, and drank medicine for half a month while holding her nose.
By the time Wu Guoliang and the others returned, her health had deteriorated significantly.
My whole body felt weak and limp, I felt nauseous and wanted to vomit, and my lower body was emitting a nauseating, fishy odor.
Wu Guoliang hurriedly took her to the hospital for a check-up; what the doctor said was no longer important.
All she knew was that Zhang Hongying had ruined her life, and that she had also been killed by her own stupidity.
She was perfectly healthy, but hadn't had her period for several years. She spent a lot of money on treatment, but it still couldn't be cured.
At this point, Wang Xiaohua paused in her recollection, her eyes slightly reddening, and looked at Su Yue, asking, "Do you know why Zhang Hongying did this?"
Su Yue had a guess in her mind, but she still shook her head cooperatively and asked, "Why would she do that?"
A cold smile appeared on Wang Xiaohua's lips, a smile full of bitterness and mockery: "She wanted me and Guoliang to help them raise their child. At first, all those gossips, saying that I was ungrateful, were spread by Zhang Hongying. Those gossipy people in the village live a simple and hard life. They have gossip to hear and talk about, so they embellished the stories and deliberately brought them up in front of me."
From a young age, she longed to be valued by older female elders. She couldn't get it from her stepmother, but after getting married, she received some warmth from her mother-in-law. However, her mother-in-law passed away a few years later.
Thinking of them as family, they treated Zhang Hongying, the eldest sister-in-law, as an elder.
But she never expected that she would end up being unable to have children for the rest of her life.
