Countdown to Awakening

Zhong Shanshan covered the side of her face that had been hit, tears streaming down her face in grievance, and said anxiously, "Mom, you hit me? I didn't do that, but I really don't know what happened. Maybe people are just different? I..."

"You..." Xiao Guilan was so angry that she was speechless. Although she believed Zhong Shanshan, the evidence was right here, so she had to believe it.

Ding Xiaoxiao asked back, "Really? You're always saying that. I think you did something you shouldn't have done before getting married and you're afraid to admit it. You want our Xiaobin to be the scapegoat, right? Don't think I don't know what you're thinking! I really misjudged you! I was wondering why your daughter is 20 years old and no one wants her, but you're so eager to give her to our family. It turns out she was waiting for us here!"

Zhong Shanshan glanced at Liao Bin. Why didn't he say anything? Then she pursed her lips and said, "I really didn't... I was a virgin before I got married. If I really did do something I shouldn't have done with someone, how could I get married? I knew I couldn't get married if I did it."

Ding Xiaoxiao asked with disdain: "Who knows what you are thinking?"

Liao Bin's eyes met Zhong Shanshan's. Although he didn't know what to say, he still tried to persuade his mother: "Mom, forget it. There's no need for our two families to be unhappy because of this matter... This matter..."

When Liao Bin said this, his family immediately lost their composure. What do you mean by "forget it"? Cowardly!

Liao Guoqing interrupted, "Xiaobin, you're willing to be the scapegoat, but I'm not. I don't have the nerve to do that! We're not the kind of people you can fool. Don't be fooled by this woman. Has she drugged you? And you're still speaking for her?!"

"No, Dad, I just don't want our two families to quarrel over this matter. After all, we have only been married for one day, and it's not easy to find a wife now..." His voice became smaller and smaller...

If it was easy to find, why would he have waited until he was 25 to find one? Or should he just let it go? Besides, he had never heard of Zhong Shanshan dating any other man before she got married. And the matchmakers hadn't mentioned it either.

Liao Bin said: "I still believe in Shanshan. Shanshan won't do this. Mom, forget it..."

"Then what's going on with this towel? All women will bleed on their wedding night, why not yours? I've never heard of a girl not bleed on her wedding night! This marriage must be divorced! Must be divorced!" Ding Xiaoxiao said relentlessly.

"Mom..." Liao Bin said helplessly. But his mother made all the decisions at home, and she had no say. Moreover, Zhong Shanshan was at fault in the first place. How could Ding Xiaoxiao, who loved her son dearly, ignore her?

"Our Xiaobin is easy to fool, but as his mother, I am not someone who can be fooled!" Ding Xiaoxiao said aggressively.

"Mom, forget it." Liao Bin advised.

This isn't a big deal, but they always like to talk about it.

Liao Ting's eyes rolled as she came up with an idea. She called her mother over and whispered in her ear, "Mom, let's just forget about it. Look, Xiaobin likes her, too. Besides, it's hard to find a wife these days, and a divorce wouldn't be good for our reputation. Besides, the wife would be ours, so wouldn't that mean we'd have someone extra to help with the housework? You've always been the one making the decisions in our family. Are you still afraid she won't listen to you?"

After listening to this, Ding Xiaoxiao also thought it made sense. Then her attitude changed drastically, and she said, "...Okay, it's hard to find a wife these days. But I want Zhong Shanshan to go to the health center to see if she's pregnant. If she gets pregnant with someone else's child before marriage, my family will really disown her!"

Xiao Guilan was a bit surprised and puzzled by the change in her in-laws' attitude, but she didn't think too much about it. Perhaps it was because they valued the relationship between the two children?

"Well... okay, in-laws, I'm not lying to you. She never left the house before we got married. If you don't believe me, go ask around. Has anyone in this area ever seen my daughter fooling around with any boy? Absolutely not. How could I dare to accuse you of this? It's absolutely impossible. Our Shanshan is not the kind of person who fools around..."

Xiao Guilan believed in her daughter. Let's see what they would do if they found out that there was something wrong!

Liao Bin's mother said, "Humph! I hope not. We need to go to our village clinic. What if she is pregnant?!"

"Then... we can only get divorced... but I believe our Shanshan would never do that kind of thing." Xiao Guilan said.

The two families went to the clinic in Tianfu Village. Most of the doctors in the clinic were Chinese medicine practitioners.

"Doctor, how are you?" Ding Xiaoxiao asked. After taking her pulse, the doctor said, "How could it be so soon? Didn't you just get married? You can't rush this. How could you get pregnant right after getting married? If this gets out, people will laugh at you. It can't happen that quickly. You'll have to wait at least half a month."

"So does this indicate whether she engaged in inappropriate behavior before marriage?"

"Don't worry, I checked, there's nothing."

After the doctor finished speaking, he took off his glasses and asked them to leave.

But Xiao Guilan was reluctant to come out.

The doctor looked at her and asked, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

Liao Bin's mother stammered, "It's like this, Doctor. My daughter-in-law just got married, and I was wondering if she didn't have any spotting on her wedding night, would that mean she was... but your examination didn't reveal anything..."

The doctor was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Well, well... Chunxia, ​​you go talk to her. I'm a man, so it's not convenient for me."

Chunxia is his wife.

"Isn't this Xiaobin's mother? What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" Chunxia asked.

"It's not a big deal. I just want to ask, why didn't I see blood on the wedding night? Did my wife ask someone to..." She didn't know what to say.

"That's normal." After Chunxia finished speaking, Ding Xiaoxiao was a little surprised. What do you mean by normal? Not seeing blood is also normal? That's not right...

She blinked.

"What do you mean?"

"What I mean is, both not seeing blood and seeing blood are normal, so you don't have to worry too much about it. After all, it is indeed normal. There are also many people who don't see blood on their wedding night. This is because everyone's physique is different." Chunxia explained.

"So my daughter-in-law is normal? That's good. I was worried that she did something she shouldn't have done with other men before we got married. Now that you put it that way, I'm not afraid anymore."

Chunxia said, "That's right. Our clinic has been open for so long. How can I help you? We are all from the same village. If I lied to you, how could I survive in this village? Don't take it too seriously. Your wife just got married here. Pregnancy is not something that can be done alone. It won't happen that quickly."

Ding Xiaoxiao nodded and said, "Okay, okay. I understand. I'll go back first."

After leaving the clinic, everyone looked at Ding Xiaoxiao. She felt a little embarrassed at this moment. After all, she was the one who insisted that the other person was unclean, and now...

So he quickly stepped forward and held Zhong Shanshan's hand: "Shanshan, I'm sorry for you. I shouldn't have distrusted you. I... If you don't mind, then, then you can still be the daughter-in-law of our Liao family, and we can live a good life as a family in the future. I won't mention this matter anymore."

Zhong Shanshan looked at her parents.

Xiao Guilan: "Huh, weren't you just yelling about getting a divorce? Now that you've found out, why aren't you getting a divorce?"

"I'm sorry, in-laws. It's our fault. Don't worry, we won't treat Shanshan unfairly..."

Ding Xiaoxiao pulled Xiao Guilan aside and talked to her for a long time. Finally, Xiao Guilan gave in. After all, she had accepted the betrothal gift, so she couldn't just return all the money...

Zhong Shanshan felt a little embarrassed. She looked around at her family. Then she hesitantly said, "As long as... Mom agrees to let me go home, I will definitely be a good daughter-in-law in the future."
