Chapter 182 Unable to Have Children
Gu Yiye looked at Zhang Weichun's lustful face and said coldly, "Li Duomei is my wife's assistant and also a friend. She's married."
Zhang Wei: "Ah, after more than twenty years, I've finally started to feel a little bit moved. Sigh!"
Gu Yiye didn't tell Zhang Wei that Li Duomei was planning to get a divorce. Even if she did get a divorce, and even if Zhang Wei didn't care about finding a divorced girl, his parents probably wouldn't agree.
Gu Yiye knew that Zhang Wei was an only child, and Li Duomei seemed to be unable to have children, so Zhang Wei's family definitely wouldn't accept it.
The moment Gu Yiye stepped into the cafeteria, the once noisy place instantly became as quiet as a street in the dead of night. He hurriedly finished his food and slipped out.
Lin Shanshan laughed and said, "Look at you, you've scared the students half to death!"
Gu Yiye smiled, told Lin Shanshan to sit down, and went to the window to buy breakfast.
Even the best food in the cafeteria loses its appeal after a while. Seeing that Lin Shanshan had little appetite, Gu Yiye thought he would take some time at noon to cook a nice meal for his wife.
After breakfast, Gu Yiye, Zhang Wei, and Wang Zhanbo continued their military training.
This year's late summer heat was intense, so Lin Shanshan took out some mung beans from her spatial storage this morning, soaked them in spiritual spring water, and is now asking the cafeteria staff to bring them over and cook them into mung bean paste for the students to drink at noon.
During the students' military training, Lin Shanshan and Li Duomei had nothing to do today, so they took a walk on campus, checking the sanitation and the planting of Chinese medicinal herbs.
Less than half an hour later, the security guard at the school gate came and said, "Assistant Li, there's a man at the gate who says he's your lover."
The school has laboratories, and Lin Shanshan stipulates that non-school personnel are not allowed to enter or leave.
It's likely that Hu Wei noticed Li Duomei hadn't gone home last night, so he went to the school to look for her.
Li Duomei felt disgusted, as if she had swallowed a fly, but she had no choice but to see him; she couldn't let him cause trouble at the school gate.
Lin Shanshan said, "Sister Duomei, I'll go with you."
Li Duomei nodded gratefully, and the two followed the security guard to see the scumbag Hu Wei.
In the 1970s, people could only rest one day a week. Today is neither Sunday nor the end of the workday, so how come Hu Wei has time to open a school?
On the way, Lin Shanshan asked, "Sister Duomei, doesn't Hu Wei go to work?"
Li Duomei replied, "Hu Wei's father is a leader in a fertilizer factory. Hu Wei works at his father's factory and often skips work."
Lin Shanshan understood; Hu Wei was a dissolute playboy.
As Hu Wei approached the door, he saw Li Duomei and hurriedly said, "Duomei, why didn't you come home yesterday? I was worried about you."
Lin Shanshan chuckled and said, "Do you still remember me?"
Hu Wei was in a hurry to find Li Duomei and didn't pay attention to the people around him. He only turned around when he heard Lin Shanshan speak. After seeing clearly, his expression changed repeatedly, displaying a variety of emotions.
Seeing that Hu Wei didn't speak, Lin Shanshan deliberately asked, "Don't you recognize him? Do you want me to help you remember?"
“We met yesterday, when you and Jasmine were having dinner at the Friendship Hotel.”
Seeing that Li Duomei didn't want to talk to him, Hu Wei realized that his affair with Jiang Moli had been exposed.
He explained with a guilty face, "Duomei, it's not what you think. I don't like her. It's mainly Mom who forced me to be with her because you can't have children."
"I swear to God, you are the only one in my heart."
Hu Wei raised three fingers and swore an oath.
Li Duomei snorted and said, "Since your mother wants a grandson so much, and I can't have one, then let's get a divorce, and you can marry someone who can."
Upon hearing Li Duomei say she wanted a divorce, Hu Wei broke out in a cold sweat and said, "No, no divorce, we can't get a divorce."
She looked like a lovesick fool; people who didn't know the truth would think that Li Duomei had let Hu Wei down.
Seeing Hu Wei like this, Li Duomei asked curiously, "Since you don't want a divorce so much, why are you still having an affair with Jasmine?"
"Want one wife and one concubine?"
Hu Wei shook his head, trying to justify himself: "Mom forced me to get a divorce. I don't want one. Duo Mei, come home with me, okay?"
Lin Shanshan was a little confused. Eyes don't lie; Hu Wei's gaze towards Li Duomei didn't seem to show much affection.
It's easy to tell when someone truly loves another person, just like the light in Gu Yiye's eyes every time he looks at Lin Shanshan.
If you don't love her and already have a backup plan, why won't you get a divorce?
Just then, a car stopped at the school gate, and a middle-aged woman got out. She was plump and looked quite prosperous.
The woman approached and said, "Xiaowei, come home with Mom."
Presumably Li Duomei's mother-in-law, the woman continued, "What's the point of having a daughter-in-law like you who doesn't come home at night and can't have children?"
Lee Da-mi was so angry that she couldn't speak after someone touched a sore spot, so she pretended to be a dolphin on the side.
Lin Shanshan couldn't stand seeing her own people being bullied, so she said loudly, "Hey, you fat auntie, you need to get this straight. It's your son who's been sticking to Sister Duomei like a leech. See if he's the one who chased her all the way to school."
“Look at your son’s pointed face and monkey cheeks. Our Sister Duomei is beautiful, kind-hearted, and capable. No matter how you look at it, your son is marrying above his station.”
The middle-aged woman said, "So what? No matter how beautiful you are, if you can't have children, no one will want you."
"I'm too lazy to talk to you guys, son, let's go."
The plump woman, with her considerable size, easily dragged Hu Wei into the car. Before leaving, she said to Li Duomei, "Take some time to get the divorce certificate. Hu Wei is the only son in three generations of the Hu family; he can't be without an heir."
After Hu Wei and his mother left, Lin Shanshan asked, "Sister Duomei, you don't have children, so how can you be sure it's your problem?"
"Is it possible that Hu Wei is the problem?"
Li Duomei looked dejected, shook her head, and said, "It shouldn't be possible. We went to the hospital for a checkup, and it's me who has the problem."
"Moreover, there is currently no medication to treat this, and there's no need for surgery. The doctor said it's irreversible; I'll never be able to have my own baby..."
Lin Shanshan comforted her, "Our school has a medical program and experienced traditional Chinese medicine doctors. If Western medicine doesn't work, maybe traditional Chinese medicine will? There's always a way out!"
Li Duomei sighed and said, "I used to be in pain because I couldn't have children, but not anymore. I feel regret, but since I started working, I know that happiness in life comes in many forms."
"For example, I get a sense of accomplishment from my work now, isn't that a kind of happiness?"
Lin Shanshan wholeheartedly agreed, saying, "Yes, happiness comes in many forms."
“However, I still don’t think Hu Wei’s behavior makes sense. Which hospital did you have your check-up at?” Lin Shanshan asked.
