"Divorce, divorce her, and divorce her immediately after she leaves the hospital." Mrs. Fu's tone did not contain any room for negotiation.
"Mom, I beg you, please stop provoking Xiao Yan, okay?" Fu Liren pleaded with his mother helplessly.
"I provoked her? She was the one provoking me, right? What's wrong with me saying a few words to her? As a mother-in-law, I feel jealous when I see her holding her grandson. She has been married to you for many years, but she can't even lay an egg, let alone give birth to a child. Is it wrong for me to say a few words to her?"
Old Mrs. Fu didn't think she was wrong at all and spoke in an aggressive tone.
"Mom, can you think about Xiaoyan? Is it that she doesn't want to have a baby? Doesn't she want to have a baby? Besides, if you hadn't asked her to take random medicines, the child wouldn't have..."
When Mrs. Fu heard her son say this, she immediately became angry and her voice suddenly rose several decibels.
"Liren, are you blaming me? I became a widow at a young age, and I raised you with all my heart and soul. Was it easy for me? You are standing on your wife's side and blaming me. Why is my life so miserable?"
As Old Mrs. Fu spoke, she began to cry without caring about anything.
Fu Liren was not afraid and had never retreated on the battlefield. However, as soon as Old Lady Fu started crying, he was at a loss.
He knew that the old lady had suffered a lot to raise him, so sometimes he knew clearly that what she did was wrong and that she always bullied Liu Yan.
녦She is an elder, and he thought that she didn't live with them all the time. When Liu Yan complained to him about the old lady's faults, he usually advised Liu Yan to be patient.
The old lady usually stayed for half a month before going back, because she was reluctant to leave her old house, the few pieces of land she kept for herself, and the two chickens she raised.
"How would I know she was pregnant? If I had known she could get pregnant, I would never have wasted my money to find a son for her to have a baby." Old Mrs. Fu was still crying.
"Mom, I don't blame you. I'm just speaking the truth."
"You can't blame me for the child. You can only blame Mom for being blind and marrying you such a stupid woman, so stupid that she didn't even know you were pregnant. In the end, it's her fault that you didn't keep the child..."
In the final analysis, Mrs. Fu pushed all the blame onto Liu Yan.
Fu Liren was in a difficult situation. On one hand, he had his mother who had raised him with great difficulty, and on the other hand, he had a daughter-in-law who always made him feel like he owed her something.
Because of my mother's crying and making a fussing temper, he dared not argue with her about who was right and who was wrong.
His daughter-in-law was even aggrieved to the point of committing suicide, and he could no longer avoid it. However, he didn't know how to resolve the conflict between the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law. He felt that he had never felt so sad even when he was killing enemies on the battlefield.
"Liren, I have something to say to you.
Divorce, you and her must divorce, otherwise I will not have a son like you.
It's fine that she can't have children, but she won't even let anyone say a harsh word to me. She hangs me one moment and cuts my wrists the next. My old bones can't stand her torturing me like this any more.
My son, I beg you, please divorce her. After you divorce me, I will find you a good one who can give birth to a son. You are already 30 years old, and you have not yet continued the incense for the old Fu family.
You are the only child of our Fu family, so we cannot cut off the incense. Otherwise, I will not be able to give an explanation to your father when I go to the grave, let alone face the ancestors of your Fu family."
"Mom, what era is this? This is not the old society where we still care about passing on the family line. This is a new society and you should learn new ideas," Fu Liren tried to persuade her.
"I don't care about new or old ideas. I only have one idea, which is to have grandchildren. If I can't have grandchildren in this lifetime, I will die with my eyes open."
"Liren, I agree to divorce. Let's get divorced."
Liu Yan, who had kept her eyes closed and cried silently, suddenly sat up from the bed.
녦 Because of excessive blood loss and sitting up too hard, she felt dizzy and had to lie back on the bed.
His face turned pale, and two lines of tears rolled down his cheeks.
Upon seeing this, Fu Liren hurried over and stroked her forehead.
"Xiao Yan, I've already said that I will not divorce you, so stop thinking too much and just take good care of me."
"Liren, I've figured it out. Rather than living in such pain, it's better to get divorced. This way, you and I will be free, and your mother will be satisfied."
She had seen through it now. Her life or death was not important to the old lady at all. If she really died, the old woman might run back immediately and happily arrange for her son to marry another wife.
For so many years, she had been unable to give birth to a boy or girl for the Fu family, so she had been holding back. No matter how Old Lady Fu humiliated her, she never said a word and never refuted.
She had never even mentioned her child who had died unjustly in front of Old Lady Fu.
Unexpectedly, her tolerance made the old lady even more demanding.
That morning, she waited on them and their mother to finish their breakfast. As soon as Fu Liren left, the old woman came back mysteriously with a packet of medicine.
She said she prayed for it from some deity, and that it was very effective, as many people had children after eating it.
She asked the old lady where the immortal was and she would go to see him in person when she had time.
She knew that the old lady was not telling the truth and must have gotten the medicine from some swindler.
The old lady refused to say anything at first, and just told her to drink it. She also said that the doctor had said that eating it would guarantee her pregnancy and the birth of a son.
Finally, after being asked so many questions by her, he admitted that the immortal she mentioned was just a so-called doctor who traveled around the country.
She immediately told Mrs. Fu clearly that she would not take these medicines anymore.
Who would have thought that as soon as she finished speaking, Old Lady Fu immediately turned hostile and pointed at her nose and cursed at her.
He even took a packet of medicine, mixed it with water in front of her, and forced her to drink it. If she refused, he told her to get out.
In a moment of impulse, she snatched the bowl and dropped it on the ground.
This was the first time she disobeyed the little old lady.
This was a big deal, like stirring up a hornet's nest. Old lady Fu pointed at her nose and cursed her whole family.
She also told her to die so that her son could find another one.
She was so angry that she went back to the bedroom, found a paper cutter, and cut her wrist directly.
She felt the blood slowly draining from her body and thought it would be better to just die like this so that she wouldn't have to endure the old woman's anger anymore.
No more having to feel sorry for not being able to have children.
But she didn't expect that she would be pulled in even though she had one foot in the King Yan's Palace.
In the past, she had always been afraid that Fu Liren would not love her and divorce her. Now that she had died once, she suddenly realized that if she was not afraid of death, why should she be afraid of divorce?
At least she still had a pair of hands. Without Fu Liren, she didn't believe that she would starve to death.
"What are you doing? What are you doing standing at the door?"
The nurse came in to change Liu Yan's dressing and saw a lot of people standing on both sides of the door, so she asked casually.
A military wife quickly responded, "We are here to visit the patient. We just arrived and are about to go in."
