Chapter 27: 027. Suddenly and Seeking Medical Attention

Unaware that his violent yet protective little sister had already devised a complete revenge plan, and was waiting to return to the village to bring his ex-wife Wu Xia to complete ruin.

Realizing that he had been living in a lie for all these years, Liu Shouren felt only a full heart of sorrow and exhaustion. He didn’t know whether to cry for his blindness of eight years or to be grateful that he now knew everything and it wasn’t too late, at least not letting that wicked and hypocritical woman deceive him for a lifetime.

As for the guilt in his heart for not teaching well or properly nurturing his wife, which allowed her to betray her conscience for money, it had completely dissipated.

Back when the ’illness’ was diagnosed, the comfort that it didn’t matter if they never had children in this lifetime, as they could support each other and live happily ever after, was so touching at the time. Now thinking about it, it’s all the more ironic. Pushing the blame onto him and then appearing in the grand guise of a comforter and victim...

Heh, sharing a bed for eight years, he only realized today that the woman who is now his ex-wife not only had a greedy and malicious side, but was also deeply scheming. Suffering from ’illness’ for five whole years, he never saw Wu Xia ever express any guilt or remorse.

Instead, as long as he was good to her, she wasn’t disgusted by him, and often spoke about how they could live well together. Even those doctors who diagnosed him with the ’illness’, she recommended to him in a hurry after hearing from others about their reputed medical skills and virtues, dragging him along to see them.

Thinking about it now, what a supposed concern for the Liu family’s bloodline, not wanting others to point fingers at him behind his back, and never giving up even the slightest hope!

It was clearly just a charade she orchestrated with those morally corrupt quack doctors for him to see.

Poor Liu Shouyi, even though he was said to be smart, was eventually played like a fool by the person beside him.

Had it not been for his little sister’s insistence today, wanting to take him to the provincial hospital to get a clear understanding, would he have been deceived for a lifetime by that woman and those quacks’ clumsy trick?

"Brother..." Seeing her brother walk out of the hospital with a mix of sorrow, irony, and gritted teeth, Shuzhen’s eyes were full of worry. She feared that her smart brother would overthink and corner himself into a dead end.

The little sister’s full worry, obviously ready for a heart-to-heart talk to comfort his wounded heart, warmed Liu Shouren’s heart. He couldn’t help but reach out to pat her on the head, "It’s fine, little sister. Your brother is just feeling emotional for a moment, wanting some quiet time alone. Don’t worry, the Liu family’s children and grandchildren are not spineless; they won’t be drowned by such a small storm.

Could you let your brother adjust for a day?

By tomorrow morning, I promise to return as your sunny and confident good brother."

"We should also put finding a new sister-in-law for me on the agenda, get married this year and have a nephew next year. That would definitely smack the faces of those secretly sneering at us, waiting to see the Liu family’s joke!" Shuzhen’s eyes brightened as she took the opportunity to bargain. Bringing in a new sister-in-law and a big nephew would not only dispel the shadow Wu Xia brought to her brother’s heart, but would also completely shatter the villagers’ speculations and mockery, right?

With a considerate wife and lovable children, would she fear her brother couldn’t come out of the misery?

Shuzhen raised her lips, increasingly feeling that getting her brother remarried soon was an excellent idea.

Before, Liu Shouren might have considered the eight-year marriage relationship, even if there was no possibility of getting back together, not wanting to make his ex-wife feel so awkward. Also, considering his ’illness’, he didn’t want to burden another good girl. But now, the marriage feelings had become a joke, and his concerns disappeared completely. It seemed he should get remarried and fulfill his duty to continue the Liu family’s lineage?

Realizing this, Liu Shouren smiled, mischievously rubbing his large hands on his little sister’s head twice, watching her slick, shiny braid turn shapeless, before reluctantly stopping under her disapproving gaze, "Getting married isn’t like going into the field to pick corn, where you just grab anything casually. It concerns your brother’s happiness for the rest of his life and whether your nephew will be smart. Shouldn’t you give your brother some time to study it carefully?"

Yes, yes, yes, fine, fine, fine!

As long as you’re not once bitten, twice shy due to Wu Xia, deciding never to marry again, then a little time is no problem. Even if it takes two or three years, little sister won’t complain! Shuzhen thought this in her heart but outwardly mentioned the old saying that the family head was waiting for him to continue the bloodline, not giving her brother any chance to slack off.

Being rushed to have children by his sister, knowing she meant well, Liu Shouren couldn’t withstand the pressure either. With a flushed handsome face, he chased the fearless, foolish sister out of the room, and then tears quietly wetted his bright eyes.

Whether it’s love or habit, it was an eight-year companionship with a wife he planned to stay with for a lifetime. Such a barrage of shocking revelations hitting him suddenly, making him face up to all of his partner’s ugliness. Even knowing this person is hateful and repugnant, deeply scheming and malicious, emotionally, he couldn’t be as rational, cutting cleanly and swiftly removing someone who’d been in his heart for eight years!

But with the hidden truth long revealed, feelings of guilt and regret in his heart washed away in no time. Forgetting that unreliable ex-wife didn’t seem to be too difficult for Liu Shouren!

Originally, Shuzhen pondered how to ditch her brother, sneak to the hospital for an abortion, ensuring that the ungrateful person never gets a chance to enter this world. But now that her brother’s mood had been disturbed by the truths maliciously hidden by Wu Xia for years, she was spared from racking her brains for an excuse. Leaving the guesthouse, under the guise of checking on Lian Jie the little patient, she took her ID and referral letter and headed straight for the outpatient department.

After smoothly exchanging a few words with the doctor, she succinctly explained her prior accidental drowning and the considerable medication she had taken. Fearing that her already not-so-healthy body couldn’t produce a healthy baby, therefore adding burden to the country and people, she wanted the doctor to prescribe an ultrasound and an abortion.

In these times, awareness was key. Seeing Shuzhen willing to give up her own child to avoid adding burden to the state, the gynecologist, who was a sports and progressive activist, found nothing wrong with it. Instead, she praised Shuzhen’s noble quality of constantly considering the country’s construction and gave her the prescription without delay. She even told Shuzhen to find her directly after the ultrasound, so she could personally perform the surgery for this patriotic comrade.

Immense gratitude filled Shuzhen as she mentally made a big ’V’ for herself, taking the prescription and heading in a hurry to the radiology department. Her prize-winning smile caused Lianshan, who was walking towards her, a moment of confusion, inevitably compelling him to follow. Thinking he was unfamiliar with the area, Brother Liu wasn’t around, he must be extra protective to prevent any mishaps for Sister Shuzhen. In the decades following, Lianshan often praised his own wisdom in this moment.
