Chapter - 114 - Divorce
Tang Li took a step back, creating distance between herself and Su Cheng, a frown etching her face. "Why don't you ask the doctor yourself?"
Su Cheng hesitated, her lip caught between her teeth, as she glanced at Yi Wanjing. "I'll ask the doctor and Yi Wanjing will know about it. He will then quarrel with me, and he may even beat me."
Tang Li originally thought that Su Cheng would be a bit tougher after she came back from her natal home, but she didn't expect that she was still so afraid of Yi Wanjing.
"Have you checked? Is there something wrong with your health?" The unexpected fear Su Cheng displayed towards Yi Wanjing surprised Tang Li.
"I checked, and I'm fine! But Yi Wanjing refused to go to the county for an investigation. Besides, the doctor said that both of us are fine, and it's normal to have no children for three years after marriage. I don't know if he is sick or not..." Su Cheng replied with a touch of irritation.
Su Cheng's desire to prove Yi Wanjing wrong fueled her determination. '
'If it can be proved that Yi Wanjing is the one in wrong here, she will be able to stand upright, crush Yi Wanjing and Gu Xiulan tightly, and return all the abuse they have hurled at her before.'
'Then, she wanted to divorce Yi Wanjing!'
The uncertainty of the result frustrated her, especially with no support from her natal family, who considered her actions embarrassing.
Even though she had no intention of returning to her natal home after her divorce, her elder brother had sent her back, exacerbating her anger.
'Really pissed her off!'
The situation became even more irritating when she returned home, facing the wrath of Gu Xiulan and the indifference of Yi Wanjing.
He even punched her in the stomach, instructing her to stay calm and stop making trouble for him in the village.
Su Cheng herself couldn't beat Yi Wanjing or scold Gu Xiulan if her family didn't help her. Su Cheng, devoid of familial support, harbored resentment.
Now, she didn't want to live with Yi Wanjing at all. She aimed to prove he couldn't have children, reveling in the prospect of mocking him and stepping on both Yi Wanjing and Gu Xiulan's faces!
Recalling Tang Li's earlier support, Su Cheng turned to her for help. Since it was Tang Li who reminded her before and let her know that there was nothing wrong with her, so when there was no one she could rely on, she naturally thought of Tang Li again.
Tang Li, staring at her for a while, seemed to understand her thoughts and asked, "Then do you want him to be sick or not?"
"I want him to be sick!" Su Cheng gritted her teeth, determination gleaming in her eyes. Tang Li couldn't help but smile at the resentment in Su Cheng's expression.
Although she disliked Su Cheng, her aversion towards Yi Wanjing ran deeper. Watching the two fight, Tang Li hoped to witness Su Cheng's victory, seeing her crush Yi Wanjing under her feet.
As a woman tired of patriarchal thinking, she yearned for Su Cheng to defy societal expectations, that if she can't have children, she isn't a woman!
"Don't you know that now everyone in the village knows that Yi Wanjing is sick and can't give birth to children, and they say he is not a man, no way in hell!"
Tang Li reminded with a smirk. "It's not good if he doesn't go to the doctor. You just treat him as sick and make a fuss that he's impotent. Anyway, he can't prove it and will have to go to the doctor anyway."
Su Cheng, unaware of the village gossip due to her recent return, was taken aback.
"Damn bitch! What are you two talking about here!" Yi Wanjing interrupted angrily. "The captain arranged for us to collect beans. The more you do, the more you get. Hurry up and get to work and earn work points!"
Su Cheng was about to inquire further, but Yi Wanjing seized her by the arm, dragging her away.
"Tang Li, you and Mo Jing are in a group, go to the shavings!" Captain Zeng Yazhu ordered.
Surprised, Tang Li glanced at Mo Jing and immediately objected, "Captain, I don't want to be with Mo Jing; I want to change."
"Why?" Zhang Yujin asked with a frown.
"Captain, because she likes Mo Jing and she has a ghost in her heart!"
Before Tang Li could answer, Xiao Ru came out from behind, pointing at her, and declared loudly and 'righteously.'
