The Fallen Medicine Woman: The Daily Life of Chun Nuan-Chapter 388 - 219_2
The husband disagrees with divorcing his wife and stands firmly by her side, which she is very grateful for.
Unexpectedly, today this young mistress showed her a pamphlet, telling her this is what should really be done between husband and wife.
Then what has she been doing every night?
"Have you seen a doctor before?"
"No, I haven’t. My husband wouldn’t let me, he said..."
"What did he say?"
"He said children are fates, and if we have none, he accepts it. No matter what, he only wants me to be his wife."
She was moved to tears at the time, but now thinking of it, how ironic it is.
Chun Nuan feels furious in her heart. What a vile and selfish man he is!
Why doesn’t he divorce her? Because this girl named Dongmei is easy to deceive. If he divorces her, he will have to marry again, and the next one might not be so easy to fool.
Using the happiness of an innocent and ignorant girl to cover his incompetence, yet establishing the image of a good man, making this foolish girl endlessly grateful.
"Dongmei, I took your pulse and to be honest, your health is great. There’s no problem at all with conceiving and bearing children."
She has no problem; she can conceive and bear children!
The nightmare of the past three years is awakened, but there’s no happiness, only anger and fear.
"Do you know what to do next?"
"I..."
"Dongmei, it’s obvious that your family treats you well and can accept your separation." This foolish girl, are you still going to hang yourself on that crooked-neck tree? "Life is very short, at most over thirty thousand days. I wish you happiness and joy."
How difficult it is to be happy and joyful!
For a moment, Dongmei didn’t know what to do.
"Your mother and aunt will inquire about your situation. How do you think I should address them?"
"Young mistress, I..."
Dongmei doesn’t know what to say?
Tears streamed down her face, her hands covering her face, trying her best not to make any noise.
"Silly girl, you haven’t done anything wrong, just unlucky. But, now that you’ve met me, your good fortune begins."
After all, Chun Nuan cannot stand seeing her endure such grievance silently.
"I am a doctor, and doctors say what’s necessary to the patient’s family without any concealment," Chun Nuan stated. "Ultimately, the decision is yours to make; remember, you can only save yourself!"
"Thank you, young mistress."
Dongmei choked and thanked her.
"I just..."
"Don’t overthink it. Your health is excellent. Once you leave that household, once you remarry, some of the rumors will be silenced."
"Yes, I understand. Thank you, young mistress."
Indeed, she is deeply grateful to Chun Nuan; otherwise, her whole life would be burdened with the accusation of being unable to bear children, facing endless finger-pointing, and she might even remain unduly grateful to that man.
Yes, a lifetime, what a long duration.
She never wants to live in fear of darkness, dreading those days again!
"Young mistress, I..." After biting her lip, Dongmei said, "Please tell my mother and my aunt, I don’t know what to say."
"Alright, I will speak truthfully," Chun Nuan said. "I’ll have someone take you to wash up."
"Thank you, young mistress."
Chun Nuan called Ding Xiang in, asking her to take Dongmei to the restroom to wash up.
"Please follow me."
Ding Xiang glanced sympathetically at Dongmei, thinking this woman truly cannot bear children, even the young mistress cannot cure her; otherwise, why would she be crying so sorrowfully?
Chun Nuan then asked Bai Shu to summon Aunt Zhong and Sister-in-law Hu.
"Young mistress, Dongmei, she..."
Huh, Dongmei isn’t here.
"Dongmei went to the restroom," Chun Nuan said.
"Thank you, young mistress. Young mistress, can Dongmei’s illness be cured?"
"Dongmei doesn’t have an illness; she is in great health."
Chun Nuan’s response greatly stunned the aunt and sister-in-law.
"Young mistress, Dongmei has been married for three years and still hasn’t conceived...?"
You’re telling me she doesn’t have an illness, seriously?
"Yes, married for three years without conceiving, and you haven’t asked Dongmei what happened."
Chun Nuan said, "Don’t say married for three years, even married for five or ten years, she won’t conceive if it’s only Dongmei alone trying."
What does it mean one person can’t conceive?
"I can see that Dongmei is still a virgin."
What?
The aunt and sister-in-law exchanged glances, their jaws dropped in shock!
How can this be?
The son-in-law is clearly a strong young man, isn’t he?
Besides, he treats Dongmei well too, doesn’t he?
"Young mistress..."
Bai Shu emerged from the restroom, utterly terrified.
"What’s wrong?"
Chun Nuan rarely sees Bai Shu so unsettled.
