Chapter 938 Auntie is not a stepmother (13)
The Wang family finally couldn't stand the inner torment anymore. Having a child was more important than face, so they agreed to Chen's proposal and really went to Beijing to see a doctor. The result was just as Cao Shichu said. The couple had no children, and the problem lay with Wang Shitou. Every doctor they found tactfully pointed out that it was indeed Wang Shitou who was infertile.
After Wang Shitou and his son confirmed this fact from the doctor, they were shocked. How could it be that they/their son were infertile? How could a man be infertile?
They couldn't accept this fact and went to see many doctors, but the result would certainly not change just because they didn't want to face it.
The mother and son were heartbroken, but it was different for Chen. She had been wrongly accused for so many years, suffered so much, taken so many bitter medicines, and was pointed at and scolded by her mother-in-law and husband as a hen that doesn't lay eggs. Now that her injustice has been redressed, she feels proud.
Now, she is no longer the one who cannot lay eggs. Chen has turned things around in an instant, and now it is her turn to look down on Wang Shitou.
"Let's get divorced!" Chen finally raised her head and chest and said this resolutely.
This time is different from before. If she had been divorced because of infertility, her fate would certainly not be good, because men marry to have children; but now, if she divorced because her husband was infertile, she could easily find another man and have her own children. She would be stupid to stay in the Wang family that had tortured her for so many years.
"What? No!" Mrs. Wang objected immediately. She naturally couldn't agree. If her son couldn't give birth and her daughter-in-law ran away, how could their family survive in the village?
Chen was in charge now, so she was no longer afraid of them. She said confidently, "Your son can't have children, and you still want to delay my life? How can you be so shameless? What did you say about me in the beginning? You said I can't have children, so you should give up your position and let your son find another one! Now that your son can't have children, I should also ask him to give up his position and stop hindering me from finding the next man!"
Chen was in high spirits and replied to Wang Po with all the words she had said to her without even turning over a single word. She felt extremely happy in her heart. She was no longer the punching bag who had to swallow her anger because she could not have children.
"You are so unfaithful to your husband! You want to divorce me just because of such a small matter? So what if you don't have a child? Can't you just let Shitou's brother adopt one..." Mrs. Wang accused her daughter-in-law in a very hypocritical manner.
Chen sneered and said, "Yes, I am not a faithful wife. Tell your son to divorce me!" After that, she spat at Wang Shitou with contempt, "What a coward!"
Chen went straight back to her parents' home to find her parents and discuss the divorce with Wang Shitou. Now that Wang Shitou was infertile, she thought her parents would not disagree with the divorce. After all, she could receive another betrothal gift if she remarried.
Afterwards, Chen divorced with the help of her natal family. Since the Wang family knew that the problem was with Wang Shitou, they certainly didn't want them to divorce. However, the Chen family had already spread the fact that Wang Shitou was impotent. It would be unreasonable for the Wang family to continue to pressure them and not allow them to divorce. Therefore, the Wang family could only accept this fact with frustration.
A few days after the divorce, Chen quickly married a widower from a neighboring village who had lost his wife and had a daughter. The next year, she successfully gave birth to a big fat boy. Chen also happily brought her son to visit Cao Shichu, saying that she was grateful to her for her excellent medical skills in identifying who was infertile, otherwise she would definitely not have lived the happy life she has today.
That’s all in the past.
Because Chen told everyone that Wang Shitou was infertile and that it was Cao Shichu who first diagnosed him, everyone knew that Cao Shichu could also treat infertility. As a result, Cao Shichu gained another business. However, she actually successfully cured the problems of several couples and helped them give birth to children, so her reputation grew.
It was not just the people from Taohua Village and several neighboring villages who came to her for medical treatment, but even some people from the capital would come to Taohua Village for medical treatment.
Cao Shichu was too busy to handle the work by himself, so he bought two honest and hardworking maids to help him, and taught them some simple medical skills. He could be said to have treated them as his disciples. The two maids were grateful and knew that they would benefit all their lives after learning these medical skills, so they were even more devoted to Cao Shichu.
"Master, a middle-aged woman came to our house mysteriously this afternoon and said that her master wanted you to see a doctor. She asked you to go to the capital tomorrow and her master would send someone to pick you up." Zhichun said to Cao Shichu who had just returned from collecting herbs in the mountains.
"Who is it?" Cao Shichu asked. In the past few years, many people in the capital had come to her because of her reputation.
Zhichun shook his head and said, "I don't know. I asked, but the old woman said that her master didn't want people to know that she came to see you for treatment, and said that you would know who it was when you saw him. But I saw that the clothes and jewelry on the old woman were better than those of ordinary people. Obviously, her master must not be an ordinary person."
Upon hearing this, Cao Shichu said without any interest, "Then I won't take this patient. It's so mysterious. He has to keep it a secret even when he comes to see me. Is it a shameful disease? And he has an extraordinary status. I can't be involved in this kind of thing, otherwise I will easily become an innocent victim."
Zhichun didn't think it was wrong at all, but agreed: "Master is right, those wealthy families in the capital are very treacherous, it would be bad if they knew some secrets and were silenced."
Zhixia was a little worried and said, "But what if Master doesn't go and that person uses some tricks to force Master to go?"
Cao Shichu said nonchalantly, "Then I will expose her. Isn't she afraid that people will know that she came to me for treatment? Then she must not disclose her illness to anyone. If she forces me to do so, I will drag her into it."
Cao Shichu herself is not a good person. If that person really dares to force her, she will not care about the patient's privacy.
Although Cao Shichu said so firmly, Zhixia still felt uneasy. Before she was bought by Cao Shichu, she worked as a maid in a wealthy family. She knew that those powerful people would do anything dirty and despicable, and would not take ordinary people seriously. If her master offended them, she would not have a good ending...
Cao Shichu had no idea that her disciple was so worried about her. She hated being coerced the most. If someone annoyed her, she would not care about anything else and would just retaliate without hesitation. She would definitely not be the one who suffered after she had vented her anger.
The next morning, an inconspicuous carriage came to pick up Cao Shichu. The head maid said to Cao Shichu in a condescending manner, "Madam Shi, my master wants to see you. Please get on the carriage."
