While Jiang Baihe was still somewhat shocked, the next second, Gu Jia Ning's words left her completely stunned.
"I guess your worry is that you and Regimental Commander Chai have never had a child."
As soon as she said this, Chai Jianguo instantly looked up at her, but seemingly remembering something, he quickly regained his composure.
Jiang Baihe, however, after a slight pause, followed Gu Jia Ning's words, saying: "Sister-in-law, you're right."
"I don't know if Xiao Sheng has told you about Jianguo and me, but I'll tell you now…"
Jiang Baihe and Chai Jianguo are actually in a second marriage.
To be precise, Jiang Baihe's first marriage was to Chai Jianguo, who was already in his second marriage.
They are from the same village, but there is almost a generation gap between them. Logically speaking, Jiang Baihe shouldn't have married Chai Jianguo.
When Chai Jianguo got married, Jiang Baihe was still just a child.
At that time, Chai Jianguo's wife was a young woman from a neighboring village. Because Chai Jianguo was a soldier and hadn't yet reached the standard to bring his family with him, his wife had to stay in their hometown, resulting in them being apart for long periods.
It wasn't until 4 years ago, when he became a battalion commander, that his family members were allowed to join him, which was a great relief.
The reason why Chai Jianguo married Jiang Baihe, who is a whole generation younger, was because of a life-saving grace he had given young Jiang Baihe.
Initially, it was a life-saving grace, which Jiang Baihe always remembered.
Later, as Jiang Baihe grew up, she gradually fell in love with this military uncle.
After Chai Jianguo was looking for a wife again, 17-year-old Jiang Baihe resolutely declared her intention to marry him.
There were naturally some twists and turns along the way, but in the end, they ended up together. Now it's been 4 years, and Chai Jianguo has been promoted to battalion commander.
However, after 4 years of marriage, they still haven't had a child, which has become a source of worry for both of them.
The couple went for checkups, but neither of them was found to be the reason.
"Sister-in-law, I don't understand. When Jianguo and I went to the hospital for checkups, there were no problems with either of us, so why haven't we had a child in four years?" As she spoke, Jiang Baihe's tears started to fall.
She really wanted to have a child for Chai Jianguo. At Chai Jianguo's age, not having a child would invite considerable gossip; some of it was directed at her, but Jiang Baihe didn't care so much about what others said about her. She cared about Chai Jianguo, the great and honorable Chai Jianguo in her heart; she wouldn't allow others to cast judgment on him because of this.
Chai Jianguo put his arm around Jiang Baihe's shoulders to comfort her, his lips pressed into a thin line. He could clearly see his wife's anxiety over the years, especially the last two.
However, they had gone to the doctors, and no cause could be found. They were helpless.
But…
Chai Jianguo's gaze fell on Gu Jia Ning. "Ze Xi's wife, you called us here separately. I guess you've found the problem, haven't you?"
Gu Jia Ning nodded. She commented, "Indeed, as expected of soldiers; their observation and judgment are keen."
"Yes."
After speaking, Gu Jia Ning looked at Jiang Baihe and said: "Sister-in-law Jiang, the problem is with you. The reason you're infertile is because of blocked fallopian tubes."
Blocked fallopian tubes?
What is that?
Jiang Baihe, who only graduated from elementary school, looked completely bewildered.
Gu Jia Ning quickly explained it to them.
"...Currently, Sister-in-law Jiang's situation is that the tubes are blocked. Since they're blocked, nothing can get through, and therefore, there will be no children."
Actually, in modern times, this is a fairly common problem for women, and it's a major cause of female infertility.
But in this era, medical technology is backward, and there is very little understanding in this area. The medical equipment used for examinations is also quite outdated.
Generally, blocked fallopian tubes are accompanied by lower abdominal pain and dysmenorrhea in some women.
But Jiang Baihe didn't have any of these problems. In other words, she had no symptoms, which is why the hospital checkups didn't reveal anything.
"So the reason is me, it's me, it's me…" Jiang Baihe murmured, then completely broke down and cried.
"Jianguo, I'm sorry, it's all my fault, it's my fault."
Chai Jianguo held her and comforted her, "Don't cry, it's not your fault. Don't cry. Since Ze Xi's wife knows the reason, she might have a way to treat it."
At this point, Chai Jianguo finally started to believe Gu Jia Ning a little. After all, the hospital doctors couldn't find the problem, but Gu Jia Ning could.
Jiang Baihe also came to her senses. With tears streaming down her face, she grabbed Gu Jia Ning's hand and begged, "Sister-in-law, can you treat it? If you can, please treat me. As long as I can have a child, I'll do anything. Jianguo and I will be eternally grateful."
In the anticipation of Jiang Baihe and Chai Jianguo, Gu Jia Ning said: "I can treat it. We'll just schedule a time for treatment later."
"Good, good."
Thus, the people waiting outside, although they didn't know exactly what happened inside, heard Sister-in-law Jiang's emotional ups and downs—crying and then laughing.
In the end, when she came out, although there were still tear stains on her face, her expression was bright and cheerful, as if the long-suppressed depression had dissipated.
Sheng Ze Xi didn't go in, but he was constantly paying attention to what was happening inside. He would immediately rush in if Gu Jia Ning called him.
But this time, it seemed Ningning's examination went quite smoothly.
"Baihe, what happened?" Sister-in-law Yu had a good relationship with Jiang Baihe, so she immediately went up to ask as soon as Jiang Baihe came out.
Zhang Shuwan also looked over.
Jiang Baihe wiped away the tears on her face and didn't hide anything from Sister-in-law Yu and Zhang Shuwan. She pulled them aside and told them what had just happened.
Sister-in-law Yu exclaimed, "I never expected that Ningning would have such skills! Baihe, if she can really cure it, that would be great. You must try to get treatment!"
"Yes, I will. My sister-in-law said we can schedule a time for treatment."
