"Dad, I still need to find someone I have a ’feeling’ for. How can we get along without any feeling?" Wu Xuming looked at his father wordlessly. He indeed wanted to get married soon, but it had to be driven by impulse.
So far, he really hadn’t taken a fancy to anyone.
Even Yan Jinsu, who had previously made his heart race, just made his heart race, that’s all; there weren’t any special feelings.
If there were, he would have acted and taken her for himself already.
"..." Wu Huaimin frowned, obviously understanding the implications of his son’s words.
After all, the Wu Family’s men never had strong demands in that area; otherwise, his Dad wouldn’t have waited until twenty-six to have their eldest brother.
In the Republic era, men were usually fathers by the age of fifteen or sixteen, and his Dad had his eldest son at nearly thirty, which was exceedingly late.
"Dad, you can’t rush these things. If there’s a feeling, even an arranged marriage is okay." The fear is in not having that feeling. To marry and then just have her at home, wouldn’t that be harming someone?
Wu Xuming sighed. He was not saying that everything was normal—his physiological responses were normal, but the very sight of women just turned him off.
Luckily, he had no reaction to men either.
His Dad was also stating a fact; indeed, Wu Family men typically had this trait, not having a strong desire for women.
His eldest brother was slightly better off, as he happened to fancy Liu Dongzhu.
His second brother’s wife was arranged by their grandfather, but the second brother was much more unfortunate, as he had no feeling for this woman and could only perform in bed with the aid of drugs.
After giving birth to the Wu Family’s fourth-generation granddaughter, he completely stopped forcing himself and instead found another woman outside. It’s said she’s about to give birth?!
"If you’re open-minded about it, then do as you will. It’s just that your mother, she hasn’t seen you for a long time and keeps nagging at home about when you’re going back."
"Dad, you take care of your wife, don’t let her bother me." Wu Xuming got a real headache whenever he brought up his own mother.
Wu Huaimin glanced at his son, "I’m not in charge of your mother. If you really can’t handle it, then go back and listen to her, choose someone you’re okay with and get married, and have a grandson to keep her company."
Wu Huaimin didn’t really care about having a grandson, but his old wife was constantly complaining about how quiet the house was with father and son always in the laboratory.
Having a grandson and a daughter-in-law to keep her company would make her feel like the house had some life in it.
What he said made sense.
Because his old wife was chosen by his Dad, Wu Huaimin hadn’t opposed it at the time and always felt somewhat guilty towards her. As he couldn’t spend much time with her, he listened to her in many domestic matters, which was a sort of indirect compensation.
Her request was actually quite reasonable.
"... Dad, you make it sound so easy." Wu Xuming was very dissatisfied with his father’s hands-off approach.
"Xuming, when it’s time to deal with life’s important matters, you have to deal with them."
"Heh, Dad, Zheng Hui is twenty-eight now, and he’s not married yet."
"Hmph, you’re behind on the news. He already has someone, and they’re just waiting to bring her back to meet the family. They’ll be preparing for the wedding soon, and when Aunt Zhou brings her future daughter-in-law to your mother’s presence, hmph!"
Wu Huaimin glared at his son and then took the documents from his hand, "This is not for you to worry about. If you have time, you should find a marriage partner for your mom. She’s just going through menopause now and only lacks a grandson—"
After finishing his words, Wu Huaimin walked away, leaving Wu Xuming to push up his glasses, his face etched with a pained expression.
On the other side, Liu Dongzhu, having come to, was in a real fury and was given a sedative by the doctor directly. Then, hearing that mother-in-law Song Cuiqin had arrived, she hurriedly asked a nurse to fetch a face cloth to cover up.
Liu Dongzhu’s face was truly disfigured, but not by any sharp object. After her face swelled up, she scratched it unconsciously a couple of times, causing the skin to tear, as if it were paper!
Then it began to rot and stink.
Wu Xuming saw it and simply cleaned the area before applying anti-inflammatory medication.
The medication really was effective; it hadn’t been an hour before the itchiness on her face subsided, and the heat and pain were gone, but the healing was too quick!
Two hours later, her face began to shed scabs! The areas where scabs came off were pocked and pitted, just like improperly treated acne scars!
It wasn’t just one or two spots, but her entire face was like that, with all the new skin pitted with acne scars—the entire face, simply ruined!
Liu Dongzhu, after seeing it herself, couldn’t bear to look a second time, understanding in her heart that she was, indeed, ruined.
At this moment, she hated Yan Jinsu!
Because she knew that in that situation, only Yan Jinsu would have the capacity to carry out such a vicious act against her, which was even crueler than her cutting herself!
With this in mind, Liu Dongzhu cried out loud, while Song Cuiqin, having already seen her ’true face’ while Liu Dongzhu was unconscious, knew full well how unbearable it is for a woman to lose her most critical feature, her appearance.
Song Cuiqin, despite her anger towards her, upon seeing her daughter-in-law’s distress for saving her own son, felt a surge of empathy and the two women cried bitterly together.
In the end, according to Dad’s words, Song Cuiqin still comforted her nicely, saying:
"Dongzhu, you are injured, don’t cry, Xuqiang is not a superficial, common man. He is a responsible Rong Wei, and won’t abandon you just because of this."
Upon hearing this, Liu Dongzhu didn’t know whether to feel happy or sad.
Yes, Xuqiang was a responsible Rong Wei, and she certainly would not become an abandoned woman!
Understanding this, Liu Dongzhu finally composed her distressed emotions, but her hatred for Yan Jinsu grew even stronger!
Because it was Yan Jinsu who made her deeply realize and understand that she, Liu Dongzhu, was nothing more than a ’responsibility’ to her husband!
"Mom—" Liu Dongzhu, with her head lowered, felt a sourness in her heart, and her tears still bitter, kept falling.
"Ah~" Song Cuiqin, with her son’s sickness showing no signs of improvement and the current state of the transaction with Yan Jinsu still uncertain, was likewise troubled, both mother and daughter-in-law in a bad mood.
With this in mind, how could Song Cuiqin still have the heart to coax Liu Dongzhu?
Seeing her daughter-in-law’s tear-stained face as if she had lost her husband, Song Cuiqin already disapproved in her heart, and further blaming her for tarnishing the Wu Family’s reputation, she felt resentful. Disapproval and resentment combined, and as the mother-in-law, Song Cuiqin couldn’t bring herself to lower her face and comfort anyone anymore.
However, she didn’t just walk away either.
The two sat in silence, their tears flowing quietly—
Song Cuiqin, thinking of her son and husband, was equally distressed. Thinking of her son at that age and still without children, she had only just stopped crying but, driven by their heart-wrenching grief, they started weeping once more.
Passing by outside the sickroom and hearing the sound of women and children crying, one would assume that there had been a death of a husband or son inside. Such crying truly saddened anyone who heard it.
