Chapter 100: It’s Not Necessarily His
Taking advantage of the situation, Song Ping and Li Dong got a divorce.
The moment she received the divorce certificate, Song Ping had mixed feelings, which were eventually replaced by a sense of relief.
Walking out of the gate, she didn’t look at Li Dong again but expressed her gratitude to the two police officers who had accompanied her.
Then she said to Song Chu, “Chu Chu, let’s go home.”
Back to her own home, no longer the home where she felt depressed every day.
Song Chu took her arm and smiled, “Yes, let’s go home.”
She also thanked the two police officers, and they all got on the tractor together.
Li Dong looked at Song Ping and couldn’t help but call out, “Wife, Ping Ping.”
He felt very painful at this moment and somewhat regretted driving away the woman he loved the most for the sake of having a child.
But without a child, he always felt looked down upon. He hated the feeling of being judged.
Why couldn’t she be a little more considerate of him? What could he do if she couldn’t have children?
Now she was so heartless, leaving him without hesitation, and even reported him for domestic violence.
His regret was mixed with resentment, but he still wanted to go up and say a few more words.
However, Song Ping obviously didn’t want to deal with her ex-husband anymore. Hearing the four words he called out, she only felt that they were full of irony. She turned her head and looked forward, pretending not to hear.
Song Chu drove the tractor away, leaving Li Dong feeling frustrated.
He couldn’t go back, because the fact of domestic violence existed, so he would be detained for a period of time before being released.
Back in the village, Song Chu dropped off her Second Aunt and Older Female Cousin [father’s side] at their home and was thanked profusely by her Second Uncle.
Song Ping stayed at home for two days and then went to the oil pressing workshop to find Song Chu.
“Chu Chu, when do you think I can start working?” Although her younger brother and sister-in-law didn’t dislike her and didn’t show any displeasure, she always felt bad about eating and living there for free.
And she was used to working, so she felt uncomfortable being idle at home.
Song Chu understood her thoughts and said after thinking for a moment, “I’ll take you to check your health. If it’s okay, you can come to work tomorrow.”
“There’s nothing wrong with my health. I just won’t use this dislocated hand. There’s no need to go to the county hospital,” Song Ping said with a smile, shaking her head.
Song Chu stood up and pulled her, “We’re not going to the county hospital. We’re going to ask a skilled Old Lu to check your pulse. He’s in our village.”
Hearing that he was in the village, Song Ping didn’t object further, “Okay.”
It was time for work, so Song Chu took Song Ping directly to the pigsty.
Now the old people from the cowshed were responsible for cutting pigweed and cooking pig feed. They were all chopping pigweed at the moment.
Song Chu and Gu Yue often used the excuse of developing a scientific pig farming method to come to the pigsty to see people and learn.
Anyway, besides the old people, only Song Lao Da was in the pigsty, and he wouldn’t talk nonsense.
“Chu Chu is here.” The old people no longer called Song Chu “Comrade” now, they were more familiar with her.
Song Chu greeted them with a smile one by one and then introduced Song Ping.
She said to Old Lu, “Teacher Lu, please check my cousin’s pulse and see how her health is.”
Old Lu smiled and nodded, “No problem.”
“Come and sit here, stretch out one hand, and I’ll take your pulse,” he beckoned to Song Ping.
Song Ping didn’t expect Song Chu to be so bold as to have such a good relationship with them in private.
However, she herself had no prejudice against these people. Although she was worried about what would happen to her sister if she was discovered one day, she didn’t show it on her face.
She looked at Old Lu with great respect, “Okay, thank you.”
After taking Song Ping’s pulse, Old Lu said, “Except for some emotional distress, everything else is normal.”
◈◈◈
“Just relax your mind,” he added.
Song Ping smiled and said to Song Chu, “See, I told you there was nothing wrong.”
Song Chu brought her here today not only to check her physical condition but also to ask about another aspect.
“Teacher Lu, is there any problem with my cousin’s fertility?” she thought for a while and asked.
Emotional distress must be related to the Li Dong family incident.
Her cousin was strong-willed but soft-hearted. Although she was divorced, she might still be sad because it was due to her supposed infertility.
So the problem needed to be solved from the root.
Song Ping was taken aback when she heard her question, but she didn’t say anything. She knew her sister was doing this for her own good.
Old Lu looked at them strangely, “There’s no problem.”
“There’s no problem with fertility, don’t worry,” he added, seeing Song Ping stunned.
Song Ping pointed to herself, “You mean, I can have children?”
“Yes, who said you can’t have children?” Old Lu frowned slightly.
Song Ping was dazed for a moment and said, “But I’ve been married for more than three years and haven’t gotten pregnant.”
Old Lu thought for a moment and said, “Your body is very healthy, and there are no problems with fertility. If you haven’t gotten pregnant in more than three years, the problem is probably more likely to be with the man.”
“Bring your husband here, and I’ll take a look.”
Song Ping clenched her hands together, lowered her head, and slightly lowered her eyes, “We’re already divorced.”
“He had a child with someone else, so it shouldn’t be his problem,” she sighed and said.
Having been labeled as a “barren hen” for so long, she had always thought she was the problem. Especially when that widow gave birth to a son for Li Dong, she was even more convinced that she couldn’t have children.
But now the doctor said she was fine, and she suddenly felt a little lost.
Song Chu said, “That child is not necessarily his.”
Song Ping suddenly looked up at Song Chu, “What?”
“That widow could hook up with him, so why couldn’t she hook up with others? My Fourth Older Brother heard a piece of news in Shangba Village that the widow and Team Leader Li’s youngest son used to be involved with each other,” Song Chu continued, “Maybe she was just looking for Li Dong to take the blame.”
Team Leader Li’s youngest daughter-in-law was the daughter of a small cadre in the commune. If his son really had a child with the widow, she naturally couldn’t enter their family.
In this era, many people don’t think about abortion when they get pregnant.
Especially since Team Leader Li’s youngest son only had two daughters and no sons, but he didn’t dare to do anything because of his father-in-law.
Letting the widow give birth and then finding someone to take the blame, raising his son without spending money, and not being discovered by his wife or being targeted by his father-in-law, what a good deal.
Song Lao Si brought this news back yesterday, and Song Chu felt that this was very likely.
Sure enough, there was no problem with her cousin’s health, so it must be that scumbag Li Dong who was infertile.
“Ping Ping, did you guys ever go to the hospital for a checkup?” Song Chu asked her again.
Song Ping shook her head, “No, after I didn’t get pregnant for over a year, her mother took me to another village to see a village doctor. That person said I had a cold uterus and couldn’t conceive easily. He also prescribed a lot of medicine. I always thought it was my problem.”
Old Lu was furious, “Nonsense, you’re perfectly normal, there’s no such thing as a cold uterus. What kind of quack is that, how can he talk nonsense?”
