My Happy Daily Life After Being Reborn-Chapter 46 - 29 Xiao Mei’s Confession
46: Chapter 29 Xiao Mei’s Confession
46 -29 Xiao Mei’s Confession
Lin Xiaoguai was shocked.
She remembered that one of the symptoms of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) was obesity and excessive hair growth.
She had also read an article which mentioned that excessive obesity in males could affect their fertility.
With that in mind, Uncle Jiang and Aunt Jiang’s situation indeed seemed to fit the bill.
She recalled that there was a family in the old district where she lived that had married a daughter-in-law with this condition, and ironically, the daughter-in-law was diagnosed only after giving birth to a daughter.
While those with PCOS may struggle to conceive, it doesn’t mean they cannot get pregnant at all.
Lin Xiaoguai suspected that in the case of Uncle Jiang and Aunt Jiang, it was due to the poor diet and malnutrition of their era, and moreover, their issues were not solely on Aunt Jiang’s side.
Furthermore, if she remembered correctly, there were some effective treatments available in the future.
She considered looking up information when she got back since 001 had an automatic data collection feature.
“Uncle, Aunt, I still disagree with pairing Xiao Mei and Luo Aidang.
The condition you mentioned, I have read about in books; it’s called polycystic ovary syndrome.
Not every couple ends up having children so late like you did.
Plus, I heard that there are treatments for this condition abroad, and some good traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions here are effective against it too.
This is an issue that affects Xiao Mei’s whole life, and you can’t just give up because of one difficulty.
A man like Luo Aidang, an absolute wolf of the mountains—even someone physically handicapped, ugly beyond measure would still be a hundred times better, as long as they have a pure heart,” Lin Xiaoguai earnestly advised.
“I agree with Xiao Guai,” Jiang Xiaomei’s voice suddenly filled the room.
Everyone in the room was stunned, turning their gazes towards the door where Jiang Xiaomei stood with a basin in her hands, tears streaming down her face.
So deeply engaged were the three in conversation, they hadn’t noticed when she had come back.
“How long have you been listening?” Mrs.
Jiang asked hesitantly.
Jiang Xiaomei looked at Lin Xiaoguai, “I came back to ask Xiao Guai if she wanted to eat the peaches more raw or fully ripe.”
In other words, she had heard everything from start to finish.
Mr.
Jiang sighed, beckoning his daughter to come over, “Xiao Mei, you’re grown up now, and there are things you should be aware of.”
Actually, after hearing what Lin Xiaoguai had said, they were already considering abandoning the idea of Luo Aidang.
However, they still harbored some doubts in their hearts.
After all, Luo Aidang was a man.
If they were to kick the bucket, having a man in the house would be useful.
All his life’s earnings, his daughter was destined to lose them.
Rather than benefiting others, he’d prefer to benefit Aidang.
However disappointing that child may have been, the affection built up over many years wasn’t fake.
When personal interests and those of loved ones are involved, people easily get confused, and Mr.
Jiang was no exception.
He had lost his usual calm and decisiveness.
“Dad, Aidang isn’t reliable,” Jiang Xiaomei wiped away her tears, resolutely stating, “I haven’t told you, but when I was nine and got sick with a high fever, Aidang didn’t listen to you to give me the medicine on time.
He threw it away and even exposed me to the cold by uncovering me.”
“He thought I was delirious and wouldn’t know, but I remembered it all.”
“Why are you only speaking up about this now!?” Mr.
Jiang was both shocked and angry.
Mrs.
Jiang was also incredulous; she never imagined that the child they treated as their own not only wasn’t on the same page as them but had even harbored malicious intentions towards their precious daughter.
“I was afraid, wuwuwu…” Jiang Xiaomei wept miserably, “It’s not just that time.
In the autumn of my first year of junior high, I was pushed into a ditch, my legs stuck in the mud and I couldn’t climb out.
I waited a long time until I heard voices approaching, but then those people were called away.
I recognized that it was Aidang’s voice.”
That time, if it hadn’t been for Xiao Guai coming to her house looking for her, and her parents, who had been working on the farm quota, not knowing she hadn’t come home, and therefore looking for her along the road, she wouldn’t have been pulled out of the ditch.
Even then, she was so frightened that she fell ill again.
Lin Xiaoguai sighed; she knew all too well.
Mei always had a small heart when it came to herself, preferring to endure discomfort rather than stand up for herself.
“You silly child, you should have told us about such things at the time,” Mrs.
Jiang said with heartbreaking sympathy.
Unbeknownst to them, their daughter had been treated like that under their protection.
She also knew her daughter’s temperament; there had to be more than just these one or two incidents.
Without their knowledge, Luo Aidang might have been torturing their daughter in who knows what manner.
