CHAPTER 545: CHAPTER 529: CAN’T BEAR TO LET GO

"Da Niu, don’t listen to her, this woman’s just fooling you. You know Hu Zi’s situation; even the doctors said that even if the surgery goes well, it doesn’t mean he’ll recover to be like a normal person.

Feng Na studying medicine isn’t for Hu Zi, it’s clearly for her own good. This woman wants to abandon her husband and child. She talks a lot of sense, but isn’t it just to manipulate you into obediently divorcing her?

How about you have her promise that after she graduates and becomes a doctor, she’ll still not divorce you and will obediently return to the village to live, see if she agrees."

Liu Dashuan and Liu Dashan were stirring things up from behind.

Liu Daniu was most afraid that his wife would divorce him, and he’d be looked down upon in the village.

Sure enough, Liu Daniu’s face turned hostile upon hearing this.

"Feng Na, you’re lying to me!"

He believed his brothers wouldn’t lie to him.

Feng Na was the liar.

Feng Na gritted her teeth; to say she didn’t want a divorce would be lying.

A well-educated young lady married to a man who only cares about his wife, children, and warm bed, with no common language, only forcing her to have children. Feng Na couldn’t even say that she wants to stay with Liu Daniu.

She wants a divorce.

Seeing Feng Na say nothing, Liu Dashan and Liu Dashuan laughed coldly.

"See, this is her true face, don’t be fooled by her. Hurry up and grab her back, end this once and for all, lock her up and have her obediently give you seven or eight kids, then she’ll never think of leaving."

Liu Daniu’s breathing quickened, how dare Feng Na want a divorce.

Liu Daniu couldn’t stand it.

"Feng Na, will you go back obediently this noon or should I tie you up? I’m telling you, if you make me do that, don’t blame me for being rude. And you, this is our family matter.

Even if city folks don’t hit women, they can’t control us rural people."

At this moment, Liu Daniu suddenly got bold, afraid of losing his wife.

Jiang Xiaoxiao sighed inwardly, she couldn’t be too arrogant thinking rural people are easily fooled, rural people aren’t stupid.

"Do you think I have time to meddle in your family affairs? It’s truly thankless. Even if you take Feng Na back and have her give you ten or eight kids, if they all turn out like Hu Zi, your family will be the village laughingstock.

Still being arrogant! Hu Zi’s condition is called a hereditary disease, do you understand what that is? It means there’s a defect in the parents, which will pass onto their children.

Even if you’re uneducated, you should at least know from your parents that when marrying, you should ask if there’s any illness in your wife’s family and what illnesses they have. Will it pass down?

Once it passes onto the children, do you dare marry such a wife? Still boasting about having ten or eight kids, go have them, and if they’re all like Hu Zi, I wonder how you’ll live afterwards. Even if you’re exhausted, you can’t raise them.

You’re not going to kill one each time it’s born, that’s illegal, the police will intervene."

Rural people don’t believe much, but they truly fear hereditary diseases for their offspring.

Jiang Xiaoxiao had interacted with many rural patients and naturally knew what they feared most!

Starting from here is much easier than directly persuading them to divorce.

Sure enough, Liu Daniu and his brothers remained silent.

The three of them followed not too close nor far behind, murmuring.

Liu Daniu was also scared.

If the children born later all turned out like Hu Zi, what then?

At that point, forget the laughingstock, unable to even hold his head high in the village; how would he support these children, especially if they’re like Hu Zi, destined not to find spouses?

No family with any choice would want to marry off their daughters to someone like that.

Would he really raise all these children until their deaths?

He’d need the ability for that too, people only have children for legacy and support in old age.

In his case, he’d be working hard his whole life and still supporting his children when old.

What’s the point of this?

Isn’t this tough, marrying a wife is no better than not marrying.

"Da Niu, although this woman doesn’t mean well, her words are true; your sister-in-law’s situation seems like a family issue. You know we don’t have children with cleft lips in our village, our ancestors didn’t have this illness either.

I heard from the neighboring village that a family gave birth to two cleft lip children and got so scared they didn’t dare have more kids.

If sister-in-law’s case is the same and future kids all turn out like this, we truly can’t keep Feng Na. What’s the use of having her? Just for her beauty? This rural life, beauty’s useless, you need someone who can bear children and manage life."

Liu Dashan thought if Feng Na were like this, what use would she have at their home?

Have more cleft lips?

The family wouldn’t be able to keep the pot boiling, they haven’t divided their household.

Several brothers sharing meals from one pot, would they suffer to help their brother raise his children?

Hu Zi can’t even go out, let alone work the fields.

Embarrassing enough.

The biggest issue is with Hu Zi’s condition, taking him out would embarrass the whole third family and make others suspect their ancestry has this illness too.

When the children marry, who dares? Can’t even get a good marriage.

This is a big deal.

Their children are still young and don’t see this issue, but as they grow older, it becomes serious.

Can’t let the third brother act impulsively; he loves his pretty wife because she’s beautiful. No other man in the village has married such a beautiful educated youth, they have pride.

They understand this; who doesn’t want to be looked up to? But if she bears children like that, that’s not looking up, it’s deliberately harming the Liu family.

Liu Dashuan also nodded and whispered, "Father had us follow along, and it’s good he did. Just afraid you couldn’t figure this out. I say you can’t keep this wife, be decisive; Hu Zi’s with her anyway, you may as well let her have him.

No burden of children by your side, at most get our father to look around the poor hills for a wife for you, as long as she can bear children. Whoever is married isn’t the point. This wife is pretty, but what’s the use of that? In the dark, don’t all women look the same."

Liu Daniu couldn’t let go of his wife, but his brothers’ words hit home.

If indeed, in the future, a heap of kids with cleft lips were born, that would truly be a disaster.
