"Mom can't just watch you and Xuezhi get divorced."
When Dong Dingbang heard his mother say this, he felt even more guilty.
He knew very well that it was not easy for his mother to raise him alone, and he wanted to comfort her, but his marriage to Cui Xuezhi... was not just a matter between the two of them, but also involved a young baby and his own future.
At least for now, he has never thought about divorcing Cui Xuezhi.
Dong Dingbang fell silent.
Wang Yue glanced at Dong Dingbang and felt confused.
She raised her hand and wiped away her tears. "Dingbang, I know you're in trouble, so I won't stay here to cause you any more trouble. Gai'er, please send a telegram to your brother and ask him to come and pick me up. I'm going back to my hometown."
Dong Dingbang didn't say yes or no, he just said, "Mom, I will take care of this matter, don't worry."
Wang Yue forced a twitch of her lips: "Well, mother believes you."

Liang Yin left the "battlefield" and the onlookers gradually dispersed. Yun Qiao and Gao Qian also walked home side by side.
Gao Qian sighed, "Look at what a mess this has become. They've been arguing back and forth, and both sides think it's not their fault. I think there will be more arguments in the future."
"yes."
Cui Xuezhi is not a patient person, and her mother-in-law Wang Yue is not an easy person to deal with either. As long as Cui Xuezhi and Dong Dingbang do not divorce, Wang Yue will be a thorn between them.
One of them felt that my mother had deliberately tortured me and caused me to have my uterus removed; the other felt that it was all my own carelessness, and that I had used this as an excuse to drive my mother away. Each of them had their own reasons, and each believed they were right. Perhaps they would spend the rest of their lives arguing over this matter, with no peace to be found.
Putting aside the previous grudges, Yun Qiao began to sympathize with Cui Xuezhi.
Ji gently removed her uterus, and what she lost was more than just her fertility.
A woman's uterus is not only a nurturing structure but also the organ that produces estrogen. After a hysterectomy, estrogen deficiency can lead to a decline in adnexal function and the onset of menopausal syndrome. Furthermore, the uterus has a fixed position in the pelvic cavity. Hysterectomy empties this space, causing surrounding organs to shift and prolapse, which can easily lead to stress urinary incontinence and even anterior wall bulging, among other complications.
These problems make people physically uncomfortable and even more psychologically tortured.
I don’t know if Cui Xuezhi can bear it.
After leaving Hutong No. 1 with Gao Qian, Yun Qiao returned to Hutong No. 6 alone.
Entering the alley, Yun Qiao saw Liang Yin standing at the door of her house, talking to Feng Juan. As he approached, Yun Qiao heard her say, "Once Xuezhi and the child are discharged from the hospital, we absolutely cannot let them live here. Dong Dingbang's mother is two-faced. Who knows how much Xuezhi will suffer if she falls into her hands."
Liang Yin looked haggard, with red eyes, and she was carrying a large bundle in her hand, which must be Cui Xuezhi's clothes that she had just packed from Dong Dingbang's house.
Seeing Yun Qiao, she forced a smile towards him and said, "Comrade Yun Qiao is off work."
"Comrade Liang." Yun Qiao nodded slightly, greeted her, and asked, "How are Comrade Cui and the child?"
"Xuezhi has woken up, but she lost too much blood and is not out of danger yet. She is still under observation in the intensive care unit. The child... the child was asphyxiated at birth. Although he was saved, the doctor said that he has some brain damage and cannot drink milk on his own. He is also in the intensive care unit and has not been released." Liang Yin sniffed, and her voice could not help but have a hint of tears.
Yun Qiao felt sad after hearing this. She patted Liang Yin's shoulder and comforted her, "Comrade Liang, don't worry too much. Modern medicine is constantly developing and has made great progress in treating mothers and children. Comrade Cui and the child will be fine. You should also take care of yourself and don't get exhausted. When the mother and daughter are discharged from the hospital, they will still have to rely on you, their cousin, to make decisions for them. If you fall ill, it will be one less person to help them."
Liang Yin nodded. "I know. I won't collapse. None of Xuezhi's in-laws are reliable. If I don't keep a close eye on them, they'll bully her to death and leave her speechless. No matter what, I have to hold on until she's discharged and take her home."
Feng Juan hummed, "It's better to take him to your house. Comrade Cui has suffered so much, he needs to be taken care of properly and have a full two months of confinement before he can be born. Living at your house, with her family around to take care of her, it will be more attentive."
"My family thinks the same thing," Liang Yin said. "My aunt found out about Xuezhi's situation yesterday and bought a train ticket here overnight. She's already on the train heading here. She'll take care of Xuezhi herself and hire a nanny to ensure she's comfortable throughout the confinement period and avoids any underlying illnesses. That way, I can return to Inner Mongolia with peace of mind."
Feng Juan said, "Your aunt loves her daughter dearly, and she came all the way here."
"Yes." Liang Yin nodded. "My uncle and aunt had four children, but Xuezhi was their only daughter. They spoiled her to the point of being lawless. To break her temper and find her a young and talented partner, they cruelly sent Xuezhi here and asked my family to take care of her. But we didn't take care of her. We were blind to choose such a family for her, and she suffered so much. My mother cried all night at home last night, not knowing how to face my aunt."
Feng Juan sighed, "It's not your fault. No one could have imagined that Dong Dingbang's mother was such a bad person. She acted so well at first. Everyone in the family compound praised her as a model mother-in-law."
Liang Yin said, "Yeah, who would have thought she was so good at pretending. My mom was saying yesterday that she was mistaken, thinking Dong Dingbang's mother was just a timid, simple-minded country woman. In fact, she should have thought about it earlier. The rural environment is full of the law of the jungle and oppression of women. She is a widow who raised two sons by herself. How can she be an easy-going person?"
