Chu Jingqiu held her skinny and rough hand and comforted her softly, "Sister-in-law, people say that a good death is worse than a miserable life. You are not even afraid of death, so what else are you afraid of?
I know you're not happy living in your husband's family, but you have to be brave enough to fight your fate. If you really can't live like this, you can always get a divorce. Why commit suicide?
Jin Feng cried and complained, "Yu Dashuan and I have been married for ten years. In the beginning, he was alright with me, but sometimes he would hit me when he was drunk.
Later, when I couldn't have children, he started beating me every day, and would beat me whenever something went wrong.
My mother-in-law also scolds me every day, saying that I am a chicken that doesn't lay eggs. I get up before dawn every day to cook for the family, and I only dare to eat after they are full.
Chu Zhiqing, I'm not afraid of you laughing at me, but I haven't known what meat tastes like for several years. During the Chinese New Year, they made dumplings but didn't let me eat them. They only let me eat pancakes.
I thought it was Chinese New Year after all, so even if I couldn’t have a bowl, at least I could have one!
I stole a dumpling, but before I put it in my mouth, my mother-in-law found me. She chased me all over the street with a broom.
You said, what's the point of me living like this? I might as well die and save myself from suffering in this world."
After saying that, she started sobbing again. Chu Jingqiu felt very sad after hearing these sobs. She felt that Cheng Jinfeng was really too pitiful.
He took out a box of luncheon meat, a bottle of malted milk, and a bag of pastries from his bag.
She said softly, "Sister-in-law, you haven't eaten yet! I brought some food with me when I came here. Have some cakes and pastries to fill your stomach first!"
I'll make you another cup of malted milk, drink it first to replenish your nutrition."
Jin Feng hastily declined, saying, "Chu Zhiqing, your things are precious, I can't eat your food.
Just give me a pancake later. You saved me, and I haven't repaid you yet, so how can I ask for your things? Put it away!"
Chu Jingqiu insisted again and again: "Sister-in-law, you should eat some egg cake. It is easy to digest and nutritious. Look at you, you are so thin that you look unrecognizable.
If you don't eat, I'll be angry. You're a patient now, so you should improve your nutrition. These things were sent by your family, and I still have some. Just eat them!"
Jin Feng picked up a piece of cake, took a small bite, and savored it carefully. She was so moved that tears came out of her eyes and she said, "Chu Zhiqing, I have never eaten anything so delicious. Thank you."
Chu Jingqiu smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, you really don't have to be polite. I'd like to ask you something. You're often beaten in the Yu family. Why don't you tell your family?"
Jin Feng sighed, "My mother gave birth to four daughters, all of whom were married off. There are no boys in my family, which is called extinction in the countryside.
There was no one in my family to support me, so the Yu family could beat me and bully me as much as they wanted."
Chu Jingqiu continued, "Sister-in-law, after you are discharged from the hospital this time, what are your plans? Will you go back and spend time with Yu Dashuan?"
Jin Feng said firmly, "I've died once, and I've figured it out.
His family forced me to jump into the river. It was a matter of life and death, but his family, Old Yu, was reluctant to spend money on my medical treatment.
Yu Dashuan lay in bed and didn't even come to see me. It really broke my heart. I just thought about it and decided not to go back to his house.
We didn't get a marriage certificate when we got married. When the time came, I asked the old branch secretary to make the decision for me and we broke off the relationship directly. I never wanted to see him again.
I will go home and live with my father and mother, and I will never marry again."
Chu Jingqiu breathed a sigh of relief. She smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, it's good that you've let it go. No matter what difficulties you encounter in the future, you must find a way to solve them. Don't think about committing suicide just because life is not going as you wish."
Jin Feng's eyes flickered, and she lowered her voice and said, "Chu Zhiqing, I jumped into the river this time not because he beat me, nor because I couldn't have children.
Yu Dashuan is such a bad guy that I am embarrassed to say it out loud. He said that his lower body was run over by a carriage when he was a child, and maybe that's why he can't have children.
He wanted to find a man for me in the village and use another man's sperm to have a child. Who can stand this?
When I didn't agree to his request, he beat me up. He even bought some white wine today, intending to get me drunk, and then get his bachelor brother, who had a fever and a brain injury, to come and have sex with me...
When I came back from doing laundry, I overheard him and his mother talking. I felt like I was struck by lightning. If someone found out, how would I face living in this world?
So, I felt that life was too oppressive and I might as well just die, so I jumped into the river out of frustration.
After hearing this, Chu Jingqiu felt a surge of anger in her heart. She thought to herself: The Yu family really doesn't treat Jinfeng as a human being. They clearly know that there is something wrong with their son, but they still put the label of infertility on Jinfeng's head.
What's more, he shamelessly dragged his unmarried younger brother to lend his sperm, hoping that when the child was born, it could provide for his and his brothers in their old age. What's the difference between this and sharing a wife?
He simply didn't treat Jinfeng as a human being, just like an animal in the house.
Thinking of this, she said bluntly: "Sister-in-law, it is said that we should persuade reconciliation rather than separation, but the Yu family does not treat you as a human being.
They beat you and planned to get you drunk so that you would have sex with other men, which is illegal.
I also think that you don't need to continue living with Yu Dashuan. A man who doesn't even care about his wife's life or death is really not someone you can entrust your life to."
After saying this, a smile suddenly appeared on her face, "Sister-in-law, I have good news for you.
The doctor just said that it's not that you can't have children, but that you're still a virgin. How can you possibly give birth to a child?
Jin Feng widened her eyes and even forgot to chew the cake in her mouth. Chu Jingqiu hurriedly poured her a glass of warm water and asked her to drink it.
She slowed down for a moment, then said hurriedly, "Chu Zhiqing, how is that possible? Logically, you're still a grown-up girl, and I shouldn't be telling you this. I've been sleeping with Dashuan, so how can I still be a virgin?"
The doctor must have made a mistake, this is a joke!"
Chu Jingqiu said awkwardly, "Sister-in-law, the doctor will never make a mistake. You must be having sex in the wrong way.
You are still young, so if you get divorced, don't lose faith in marriage.
You can also find someone who truly loves you and marry him, and then you can have a child of your own. Your happy life is still to come!"
Jin Feng was so excited that she burst into tears. She shouted, "Chu Zhiqing, I'm fine. It's so great!
You don’t know how much cold stares I’ve endured over the years just because I couldn’t have children. I can’t even hold my head up in front of people.
Thank you, thank you so much. If you hadn't saved me, I would have been known as a chicken that doesn't lay eggs until I died.
I really shouldn't be so stupid as to jump into the river and commit suicide for a man who is worse than a pig or a dog."
