She won't clear her name; she'll throw away all the scum.

Chen Xiangnan took the brother who had helped him find out the address that day to Zhao Hui's house. After getting off the bus, they walked for a long time before arriving. However, the scene in front of him made him temporarily stop going over to confront her.

Because a crowd had gathered around her house, and two men were fighting inside. Chen Xiangnan seemed to have arrived a step too late and happened to witness the spectacle.

Zhao Hui was on the verge of a breakdown. She didn't know why this man had come to her house. She had only been in postpartum confinement for a few days when her man dragged her out of the house by her hair.

She was about to unleash a torrent of abuse at her husband for being heartless and daring to lay a hand on her even after she had given birth to a son, when she looked up and saw a man she recognized.

It turned out that Zhao Hui had been married to her husband for three years but couldn't get pregnant. She tried countless folk remedies, but none of them worked. She was scolded and beaten by her mother-in-law and husband. Later, she heard that a hospital in the city could treat this problem, so her husband took her there.

At first, the doctor in town said she was fine and suggested her husband get checked.

This really stirred up a hornet's nest. Her husband pointed his finger at her and called her a quack. He said that childbirth is always a woman's business, what does it have to do with men? Does he think there's something wrong with him that prevents him from having children? He's not a eunuch, he's very capable in that area, he's got plenty of energy every day, how could he not be able to have children?

He beat up the doctor, got arrested, and was only released after paying compensation.

But the issue of having a child needed to be resolved. Her husband steeled himself, took the money, and went to a supposedly highly skilled master in the city. In this day and age, word of such professions could get you arrested, and it took them a lot of effort to find him.

The man demanded a large sum of money from them as soon as he opened his mouth, saying he would perform several rituals for her before the child would come into her womb. Her husband couldn't wait any longer, so he had to go back first, wait for her to finish the rituals, and then come back to give birth to the child with her. After that, he would go back to the fields to earn work points, and so on.

Zhao Hui stayed in the city for a few days. After thinking it over, she felt that the unlucky doctor in town who had been beaten made sense. So she took the money and went to the city hospital for a checkup. The result was the same as what the doctor in town had said: she had no problems at all.

Zhao Hui asked the doctor again if childbirth was related to the man's health. After receiving an affirmative answer, she became even more convinced that it was her man's inability to perform.

Her husband is the one who can't lay eggs, causing her to bear such a huge blame!

But her husband is stubborn. If she directly tells him that he has a problem, he definitely won't listen. Instead, he'll think she's deliberately trying to shift the blame onto him because in their village, women have always been the ones who can't have children unless their manhood is damaged.

That doctor is the best example. He was beaten up as soon as I told him to get checked out, without even mentioning that he couldn't give birth.

But if she didn't say anything, the thought of her mother-in-law and husband's dissatisfaction with her made her shudder; they were truly ruthless. The villagers even said that women who couldn't bear children deserved to be beaten, that if they beat her until she was afraid, maybe the baby would come out.

When Zhao Hui returned to her rented apartment, she thought a lot and finally decided to have a child through artificial insemination!

Anyway, as long as the child is born, that's all that matters. With her husband and mother-in-law like that, how could they possibly know the child isn't theirs? If she can give birth to a son, then she can finally hold her head high and never have to be afraid of them again. If that old hag beats her again, then it's not impossible for her to fight back against her mother-in-law.

Zhao Hui concealed the ruthlessness in her eyes. She was increasingly convinced that it was her husband's incompetence that prevented her from having children. If she tried with another man and got pregnant, it would further confirm her belief.

Anyway, this is harmless!

Having made up her mind, Zhao Hui began looking for a man.
