Chapter 75: A woman who can't give birth to a son should have been divorced long ago
-
In the evening, Xu Hongping came to the brigade to call Jiang Dongfang home for dinner, but he was nowhere to be seen.
Liu Honggen, the team's new production team leader, saw her looking around and guessed she was looking for the village chief, so he explained, "Aunt, Uncle Dongfang isn't with the team. He heard Liu Liying was back, so he went to look for her."
Liu Liying is back?
Xu Hongping was a little bit unbelievable. Why did she come back suddenly?
When she thought of the affair between her husband and Liu Liying when they were young, she couldn't help but feel a sense of crisis.
"Aunt, what's wrong with you? Why do you look so unhappy?"
Xu Hongping recovered and shook her head, "I didn't... Thank you."
After saying that, she turned around and left.
Liu Honggen wanted to catch up and see what was happening, but was stopped by someone next to him, "Captain Liu, don't try to join in the fun!"
"What's wrong?"
"Don't you know? The old village chief originally wanted to marry Liu Liying to Jiang Dongfang, but Liu Liying refused and ran off with Lu Zhiguo. That's when it came to Xu Hongping."
"And this?"
Zhao Suqiong waved her hand. "You're young, so it's normal that you don't know these old stories. I heard that Lu Zhiguo died a long time ago, and now Liu Liying has suddenly returned. She's been single for so many years. Xu Hongping must be afraid that Village Chief Jiang will be snatched away!"
"Uncle Dongfang doesn't seem like that kind of person! And I think he's usually pretty nice to Aunt Hongping!"
"You don't understand this! Village Chief Jiang and Liu Liying are childhood sweethearts. If Lu Zhiguo hadn't shown up, they'd probably have grandchildren now. And Xu Hongping hasn't been able to get pregnant. You can't just look at the surface! If an ordinary man married a wife who couldn't give birth, he would have divorced her long ago. Village Chief Jiang might just be looking for an opportunity to get a new wife who can!"
Liu Honggen's face darkened slightly. "Aunt, please don't say such things again in the future. It will bring bad reputation to the village chief. Besides, I believe Uncle Dongfang is not that kind of person."
Zhao Suqiong sighed, "You, just protect your Uncle Dongfang in everything. Just wait and see. I think there's an 80% chance that something will happen."
Liu Honggen glanced at her, frowned tightly, and fell into deep thought.

Xu Hongping returned home worriedly, completely absent-minded. She didn't respond when Jiang Wanying spoke to her.
"Aunt! Aunt! What's wrong with you?" Jiang Wanying saw that her face was pale and her eyes were dull. She touched her forehead worriedly and said, "You don't have a fever. Aunt, please say something!"
Xu Hongping's lips trembled slightly, and she choked with sobs as she said, "No... I'm not hungry. You must be hungry. I'll serve you some food first. You eat first. Your uncle... he's going to be back later."
Seeing her like this, Jiang Wanying didn't believe her. She took her hand and asked seriously, "What happened?"
Xu Hongping shook her head silently, but her red eyes had already betrayed her.
"Did my uncle bully you? Or did someone make you unhappy? Tell me, aunt!" Jiang Wanying stamped her feet anxiously. Since she came from the book, she had never seen her aunt like this.
At this moment, Li Wei's voice came from far away, "Yingying! Have you eaten? Brother Lu's mother is back, do you want to go see her?"
