Zhao Dazhuzi left, and on his way out, he cursed at the doctor, who looked very displeased.
I knew this would be the result. Every time this disease is diagnosed, all the patients find it hard to accept, and they become hysterical and call him a quack.
“Mr. Zhao, I swear I did not make a mistake in my diagnosis.”
"Doctor, I know. I'm sorry, he was too impulsive. I guess he can't accept it."
"I understand. Now that everything is alright here, I'll head back to the city. It's getting late."
"Doctor, let me see you off."
"Wait a minute."
Zhao Dashu turned his head. What? Second Brother wants to act recklessly too? Don't think he's a pushover.
"Doctor, I want to ask you, is my son really beyond cure?"
The doctor sighed deeply, understanding the heartache of parents everywhere and the feelings of the old man before him.
"There's really no way out. I was exaggerating by saying 20%. Actually, I've never seen anyone cure this disease. He'll basically never be able to have children in his life."
Li sobbed softly.
"Doctor, I don't understand. My son has never been injured, so why is he unable to do this? Besides, he and his wife have never had any problems over the years."
"It's not that he can't, he's fine in every other way, it's just that he can't get a woman to conceive, you understand?"
The doctor hesitated to speak, and Zhao Xiaoyu and Song Shi tactfully left. Li Shi wiped away her tears and also left.
Why not?
Zhao Dayong still didn't understand what the doctor meant.
"Our strength is a ten, his is probably less than a one. Do you understand what I mean?" We're all men, you should understand, right?
Without the woman, the doctor spoke much more freely.
"Why? He wasn't sick when he was a child."
"It's not that he's sick, it's congenital, you know what I mean? Some men are born unable to impregnate women."
Zhao Dayong was devastated. "But how can a person live without children? Doctor, please, can you think of a way? Who will take care of him when he gets old without children?"
"You'll have to figure that out yourselves. I can only tell you the truth now that I'm not here. I advise you not to get treatment. No matter how much money you spend, it'll be a waste. Even if you get to the prefectural city, it won't be cured."
Zhao Dayong knelt on the ground, head bowed, shoulders trembling violently, and suppressed sobs escaping his throat.
If I'm not mistaken, this man cried. It's really tough being a man sometimes, like right now, feeling so miserable but unable to cry out loud.
"Let's think of a way to get them to adopt a child, or even better, to help them take one in. There are quite a few orphans in the city without parents."
Zhao Dayong didn't reply to the doctor; he was now unable to speak.
"I'm leaving now."
Zhao Dashu went to take the doctor, originally hoping to see his second brother's family make a fool of themselves, but seeing how uncomfortable he was, and thinking about his and his sister-in-law's health, Zhao Dashu couldn't bring himself to laugh.
My second brother seems to be really having a tough time.
After seeing the doctor off, before even entering the main room, I saw my second brother and sister-in-law hugging and crying. One was crying in a suppressed manner, while the other was crying loudly and uncontrollably.
He went back to his room and thought, "Fine, let them cry. They'll be fine once they've cried enough."
After Dazhuzi dragged Pan Shi home, he threw her onto the kang (a heated brick bed), saying, "Wife, that's a swindler. Uncle San hired him to cheat us. Don't believe him, not a single word of him."
Pan didn't speak; she didn't utter a single word the entire way.
She didn't know what to say; she was completely confused. She needed to go back to her parents' house to ask them what they thought.
"Say something! Say something!"
Dazhuzi was very anxious, afraid that Pan Shi had run away.
He wanted Pan to assure him that she would never leave him no matter what.
"Can't you just let me have some peace and quiet? Honey, I'm so confused right now, my mind is a complete mess. Anyone would feel guilty about this, can't you just give me some time?"
Dazhu pulled her into his arms. "I'll give you time, I'll give you time, as long as you don't leave me. My wife, I can't live without you."
Pan lay nestled in Dazhu's arms, her heart icy cold.
"You've forgotten everything the doctor said, it was all nonsense, you've forgotten it all, you know?" He regretted it terribly, he shouldn't have agreed to go to the doctor with his third uncle.
Da Zhu gritted his teeth, never dreaming that the person with the problem was himself. He still couldn't believe it; how could he...?
"You and I both know that what the doctor said just now is probably true," Madam Pan said in a cold voice.
Dazhu's face flushed red, and he shouted excitedly, "Bullshit! What's real or fake! He's a liar! Pan Yulian, let me tell you, if you dare to believe his nonsense, if you dare to have any other thoughts, I... I won't let you off!"
Pan raised her head and looked at him quietly. "Whether it's true or not, you know best in your heart. These past two years, because we don't have children, you've given me so many attitudes. I have to do all the housework, just because I don't have children."
Even so, I'm still trembling with fear, afraid of being divorced by you, Dazhuzi. You should know very well how I've lived, right? Don't tell me you've forgotten."
“Those…those are all…” Da Zhuzi stammered, his eyes darting away.
He used to think it was her fault, so naturally he wanted to torment her as much as possible, otherwise how could he vent his hatred?
The second son is already a father, but his wife's belly isn't even showing. How can he stand it? It's not only natural for him to get angry and scold her.
"Wife, I won't scold or hit you anymore. I'll side with you when your mother criticizes you, okay? Even if we never have children, I won't blame you, okay?"
Is it her fault?
Is that strange? It's not her fault.
"You want to throw all the blame on me while you play the good guy behind my back, don't you?"
"Wife, I will treat you well in the future, I will definitely treat you well."
Pan pushed him away abruptly, "Get out! Get out! I don't want to see you right now."
Recalling the grievances of the past, I couldn't help but feel sorrowful, and tears streamed down my face.
Seeing that she had no intention of leaving, Da Zhuzi said in a relaxed tone, "Okay, I'll go out first. Try to think positively and don't ride on yourself."
After crying their fill, Zhao Dayong and his wife left without saying goodbye to Zhao Dashu.
"Husband, what do you think we should do about our son? My second wife is no pushover; she definitely won't want to give our son to Dazhu."
The second daughter-in-law looks very fertile; she got pregnant just two months after getting married, and she'll probably have two children in three years.
