How did things turn out this way? Liu Nian trembled as she held onto Su Xu's hand.
Liu Xiuxiu ran out crying, saying, "Sister! You know a lot of people, can you help me find out when he got sick?"
"If he had it before but kept it from me, I will definitely divorce him!"
Liu Xiuxiu gritted her teeth, her eyes red, "Isn't this a marriage scam?"
Several people looked at Liu Chuanfang, whose face hardened. "Why are you all looking at me? I don't know either. If I knew he was sick, would I introduce him to my niece?"
Liu Chuanfang shrugged and said helplessly, "Who knows what illness he has? Don't make wild guesses."
"Let me find out first," Liu Nian said, glancing at Liu Chuanfang. "You two should discuss what to do."
Liu Dayong looked at Du Jianguo with annoyance, "Send him back to his village first."
"And you too." Liu Dayong pointed at Liu Xiuxiu and said, "Go back and pack your things, then come home with me first."
Liu Dayong seemed to age suddenly, and said to Liu Nian in a hoarse voice, "Niece, please, please help me find out who we know. We're just peasants, how would we know anyone?"
Liu Nian nodded.
Liu Nian did have an acquaintance at the hospital, namely Chief Wu's niece, Wu Qianli.
As soon as she heard about it, she immediately went to see a psychiatrist. The medical records showed that Du Jianguo had been hospitalized in a psychiatric ward for a period of time four years ago, and then intermittently received medication to control his condition.
“This illness is controlled with medication, and since you don’t live together, it’s hard to detect. It’s normal that you can’t see it. Tell your sister not to blame herself; it’s not her fault.” The psychiatrist sighed. “Actually, this kind of thing happens all the time. She’s not the first, and she certainly won’t be the last. I shouldn’t be telling you this, sigh…”
“There were even patients’ parents who knelt down before me, just so I could lie to the patient’s spouse and say that the illness had occurred after marriage. Can you believe it…”
The doctor sighed, his words conveying a deep sense of helplessness.
After seeing Liu Nian off at the hospital, Wu Qianli said, "If your sister needs legal assistance, I do know some people."
"Thank you." Liu Nian nodded to her. "I'll let her know if she needs it."
As Liu Nian walked back, her heart was filled with unease. In her previous life, because she and Liu Xiuxiu hadn't gotten along, she didn't know how Liu Xiuxiu ended up.
In this life, because she was reborn, many things are different.
As soon as she arrived at her doorstep, she found a crowd of people gathered there.
"This person is spreading rumors! They saw my son at the hospital and started spreading rumors all over the world that he's mentally ill! Isn't that nonsense? My son isn't sick!"
"It's gotten to the point where my daughter-in-law is about to divorce my son! They'd rather tear down a temple than break up a marriage—how heartless can they be! They're forcing my daughter-in-law and son to divorce!"
"My family can't go on like this! We're ruined! Oh, I don't want to live anymore!"
Did they come to her house to cause trouble? They actually blamed Liu Xiuxiu's desire for a divorce entirely on her and Su Xu!
Su Xu met Du Jianguo on the day of the "heat" and then remembered the hospital incident. He knew nothing about it, but she made it sound like she was spreading rumors and slander!
Liu Nian angrily walked over and shouted, "You want me to plaster your son's medical records all over the place to be happy, right? You know perfectly well what's wrong with your son! If you want to mourn, go home and cry!"
This woman was Liu Xiuxiu's mother-in-law, Li Caiyan, who shouted, "My son isn't sick!"
"Liu Xiuxiu is heartless! My son got drunk and acted out! She insisted on divorcing him! Such a long relationship couldn't withstand the test!"
"We've been married for so long and she still hasn't gotten pregnant! Our family doesn't even mind that she's infertile! And she still has the nerve to want a divorce!"
"Your son is sick! He was pregnant before he got married! You're lying to me!"
Liu Xiuxiu rushed over like a madwoman, “Do you know what kind of life I’ve lived since I married your son? I’m always on my guard, not even knowing what I did wrong. I’ve never had a moment of peace. I’ve been too afraid to have children, and yet they call me a barren hen!”
"My son isn't sick! It was your insistence on divorce that triggered his illness! You want a divorce? Fine, but pay up!"
Liu Nian looked at Liu Xiuxiu, who was trembling with anger.
