PDLP Chapter 270 Divorce?
Chapter 270 Divorce?
Wu's mother and Liu's mother came back last time because Liu Lihua had a miscarriage, and this time it's because of another miscarriage.
The difference is that this time, no matter how well she ate during her postpartum confinement, it was useless because Liu Lihua could no longer have children.
When Wu's mother first learned of this news, she wanted her son to divorce Liu Li.
However, Wu Xingbang persuaded him to stay.
“Mom, nobody wants this to happen. Besides, even if Lihua can’t have children now, it doesn’t mean others can’t. Moreover, Liu Lihua’s family is powerful and influential, and we can’t afford to offend them. If I really divorce her, then you won’t be able to have a peaceful life back in our hometown.”
After thinking about it, Wu's mother realized that this made sense.
The two stable jobs the family currently has are all thanks to the Liu family.
It would indeed be a bad deal to anger the Liu family.
"Then what should we do? You're not going to have children anymore?"
"Don't worry, Mom. My brother will get married and have children in the future. We can just adopt one of them into my name."
No one knows what Wu Xingbang was really thinking when he said those words.
Unfortunately, Wu's mother believed this.
When Liu Lihua was discharged from the hospital, both Liu's mother and Wu's mother stayed to take care of her, while Wu Xingbang stayed directly in the military camp.
“My dear in-laws, I know about Lihua’s situation. To be frank, at first I also thought this matter had become too big of a fuss, and I even considered asking Xingbang to divorce her, but my Xingbang doesn’t agree.”
You know, I don't know what's wrong with this kid. He almost died from poisoning, but he still doesn't want to divorce Lihua. I feel terrible, but there's nothing I can do. Xingbang is willing to live like this, what can I do?
Xingbang and I have discussed it. After his brother gets married and has children, we'll have his first child adopted by him and Lihua. That way, Xingbang will have an heir. After all, he's his nephew. Having a child to support them in their old age will put our minds at ease. What do you think?
It's best to discuss adoption in advance.
Otherwise, it's easy for us to start arguing.
Too many families get into disputes over this kind of thing.
When Liu's mother first heard that her daughter-in-law's mother wanted the two children to divorce, the coldness in her eyes was almost overflowing.
But as I listened to the rest, my anger gradually subsided.
As for the Wu family, Liu's mother knew them extremely well.
To be honest, she looked down on Wu's mother a hundred times over.
However, after learning that her son-in-law was unwilling to divorce and even offered to adopt a child in the future, Liu's mother finally felt relieved.
"Let's talk about this later. Right now, we need to make sure they both get their health back on track. Even if they can't have children, they still have work to do."
Mentioning this, Wu's mother's eyes lit up: "Yes, yes, my dear in-laws are so perceptive. Both of them have jobs, so we can't let things drag on. Actually, after my son said that, I don't feel so anxious anymore. Just like he said, he's already very busy with work, and he might be away from home for twenty days a month, so we should focus on the present first, and we can talk about the children later."
And just like that, a family feud was resolved by Wu Xingbang with a few words before it even started.
Afterwards, Liu's mother simply sought out Wu Xingbang.
"Are you really not considering divorce?"
Wu Xingbang immediately stood up straight: "Mom, please don't say such things again, especially not in front of Lihua. She was hurt the most in this incident. It doesn't matter if we don't have children, as long as we are both okay."
Liu's mother nodded: "Alright then, we'll talk about it later."
Liu's mother did have some suspicions, but it was not hard to tell from Liu Lihua's words that Wu Xingbang did not have any other women outside, and many of the family members in the building were also speaking in Wu Xingbang's favor.
Moreover, Liu's mother had specifically inquired with some people outside and learned that Wu Xingbang usually came and went alone, which dispelled some of her doubts.
Later, after confirming that it was indeed her daughter who had been disobedient and had picked and eaten poisonous mushrooms, she simply didn't have the energy to scold her anymore.
If Wu Xingbang hadn't drunk too little and hadn't realized something was wrong, his daughter might have really lost her life there.
The more Liu's mother thought about it, the more she felt that Wu Xingbang was a really good son-in-law.
In that situation, it was extremely critical. If he had shown even the slightest disdain for Liu Lihua and simply ignored her, letting her drag things out, he would have lost his wife completely.
But he didn't do that, which means he still had some genuine feelings for Liu Lihua.
Liu Lihua became quiet and withdrawn.
Because of this incident, I lost weight very quickly.
She cooked plenty of delicious food, but Liu Lihua herself had no appetite, and she would vomit if she was forced to eat.
There was nothing Liu's mother could do; she could only feel heartache but was utterly helpless.
An auntie next door suggested, "Why don't you go to Dr. Ye to get some Chinese medicine for her? Dr. Ye's medical skills are unparalleled; many of our old leaders go to her for treatment."
Liu's mother thought it was feasible, so she actually went to find Ye Nuan.
Ye Nuan is a doctor; she can't just ignore people coming to her door.
Ye Nuan took her medical kit and followed Liu's mother all the way to Wu Xingbang's house.
As soon as I entered, I saw Wu Xingbang sitting on a stool, coaxing Liu Lihua to eat.
"Comrade Ye, what brings you here?"
Liu's mother quickly explained, "It's not good for Lihua to not be able to eat anything, so I was thinking of asking Doctor Ye to help me see if he could prescribe some medicine."
Wu Xingbang consciously made way for him, and then, perhaps feeling that the air in the room was not good, he went directly to the hallway outside to smoke.
After taking Liu Lihua's pulse and asking her a few questions, Ye Nuan began to prescribe a medicine for her.
"This is traditional Chinese medicine. You can only get a seven-day supply at most. Go to the clinic and see if they have all the medicine. If they can, get it there and bring it back to decoct. If they can't, you can ask Comrade Wu to get it from a traditional Chinese medicine shop in the city, or you can go to our military hospital."
"Okay, thank you, Dr. Ye."
As Liu's mother spoke, she saw Ye Nuan out.
"No need to be polite. We all live in the same residential compound. Her condition isn't too serious; it's mostly psychological."
Once they were in the stairwell outside, Ye Nuan whispered a reminder.
"She doesn't need to hear too many grand principles right now. If you family members have time, you should spend more time with her and try to comfort her. Also, try not to mention the child or the poisoning incident in front of her. She probably still feels guilty about it, so avoid mentioning it in front of her to prevent her from getting stuck on it."
