Reborn as a Tough Army Wife-Chapter 726 - 721: A Wicked Scheme

(Because Ghost Festival is approaching, I went back to my hometown with my family for a day yesterday and only returned in the evening. I didn’t come online to ask for leave, but I did ask for leave in the group, sorry haha.)

Duan Fenghua looked at Xu He, slightly stunned, then sighed helplessly, "Why bother? Since you don’t plan to marry him anymore, why would you still give him the child?"

Xu He had her reasons to say such things, "Even if I don’t give him the child, he will still come to claim it, and after giving him the child, I can at least get some money."

As she spoke, Xu He too sighed and then said helplessly, "And even if I plan to settle down with Zhiming later, I still need some money on hand."

"But if you do this, and you and Zhiming don’t have children later on, how will you manage your life?" Duan Fenghua said, her eyes glancing at Xu He’s abdomen, hesitating whether to tell Xu He about her health condition directly.

Xu He, unaware of her own health, did not take Duan Fenghua’s words seriously, and said lightly, "Zhiming does have some issues, but the doctor also said that the chance of having a child is just relatively low, not impossible. Look, initially he and Fang Xiu managed to have a child, and that child was tested, definitely his child, there’s no mistake."

While speaking, Xu He even spoke with a hint of hope, "Since there’s a chance, it’s manageable. Once I have money, I will take him to see the doctor, who knows, maybe his health could improve. We are still young, who can guarantee that we definitely can’t have children."

"It’s not about Zhiming, I’m saying..." Duan Fenghua looked at Xu He, the words already on the tip of her tongue, but she halted, worried Xu He couldn’t accept it.

"What is it?" Xu He noticed that something was amiss with Duan Fenghua and pressed, "Mom, what exactly do you want to say?"

Duan Fenghua originally didn’t want to reveal it so soon, but she knew she had to, as not letting Xu He know about her health condition would lead her to be too reckless in decision-making. Thus, Duan Fenghua finally decided to tell her everything clearly.

She took Xu He to sit down on a bench at the hospital, looking at her and said, "Hehua, please sit down and listen to me, don’t get too agitated."

Once Xu He nodded, Duan Fenghua hesitantly said,

"Actually, during this childbirth, there were complications with your body, and you may... no longer be able to have children in the future."

Xu He, upon hearing this, her expression darkened, and her eyebrows furrowed tightly, "What do you mean?"

Since she had already started, Duan Fenghua decided to clarify things, "Because you had an induction needle administered, it damaged your uterus. At that critical moment, without my consent, the doctor had already removed your uterus."

Xu He fell silent for a long while, not speaking. Just when Duan Fenghua thought she couldn’t handle it and was about to speak to comfort her, Xu He asked quite calmly, "Mom, does this mean I can never have children in my life?"

"That’s the case." Duan Fenghua, afraid Xu He would blame her like she did when she was sent to the hospital, immediately described the situation at the time, adding, "Hehua, don’t blame mom, I was really compelled. The doctor said that if the uterus wasn’t removed, you would have been in mortal danger. I’m your mother, of course, I couldn’t let you die, so I had no choice but to sign off on it."

After Duan Fenghua finished speaking, she dared not speak anymore, carefully observing Xu He’s reaction, even ready to call the doctor over at any moment, worried that Xu He couldn’t accept it and would get too agitated, affecting her wounds.

However, to her surprise, Xu He remained silent for a while then didn’t cry or make a fuss, but just sighed long, resignedly, and finally said very calmly, "Okay, I understand now."

Duan Fenghua, unable to accept her such calm demeanor, looked at her, worried if she might be hiding her true feelings, concernedly asked, "Hehua, you... are you alright?"

Xu He saw through Duan Fenghua’s concerns and gave her a light smile, "Mom, you said so yourself, the doctor said without removing the uterus I would have died, you were compelled, what’s there for me to blame you for."

Actually, as a woman, losing her uterus is indeed distressing, but now that it has been removed, what can she do? After all, life is more important than anything.

Besides, if she continues to be with Luo Zhiming, whether she has a uterus or not really doesn’t matter. She didn’t genuinely want to have children for Luo Zhiming anyway; since Luo Zhiming can’t have children, having a uterus wouldn’t change that, so why dwell on this sadness?

What’s more important, she still has a lot of other things to deal with right now, she cannot afford to be too fixated on this matter.

Naturally, Xu He’s thoughts are different from most women.

"But..." Duan Fenghua still couldn’t understand Xu He’s calmness.

"If I can’t have them, then so be it. Everyone knows Luo Zhiming has problems, even if I don’t get pregnant later, no one will suspect it’s me." What’s more important is that Xu He made Duan Fenghua promise, "But mom, you know you must keep this a secret for me."

"I... understand." Duan Fenghua didn’t know if she was stunned by Xu He’s calmness, or she had also come to terms with it, responded, and then began to think about other matters. "But how do you plan to handle the child’s matter then? Shuanzi side wants a child, Luo Family wants a child, you now have only one child, where are you going to find another one?" 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

Xu He, who had been silent earlier, had already thought of a solution. She looked around, seeing no one was nearby, then whispered in Duan Fenghua’s ear, "You help me find the doctor who induced me this morning, tell my condition gravely, say I was about to die, claim the hospital’s doctors all blamed her, if she doesn’t want me exposing her, make her arrange a child for me, and I specifically need a boy, she must get one for me today, otherwise, let her wait for jail."

Pausing, she further instructed Duan Fenghua, "But if she handles this for me, our issue will be settled, I won’t pursue any responsibility from her for this time."

"This..." Duan Fenghua, though not exactly a good person, had never threatened anyone like this before, and was quite reluctant to do such a morally bankrupt thing.

Taking someone else’s child, how anxious would the parents be?

"Mom, you know, Shuanzi’s side isn’t exactly saints, and I took a large sum of money from him, I must give him a child." Xu He looked at Duan Fenghua, calmly stating her current predicament, "And with my situation now, I must cling to the Luo Family, the Luo Family has tolerated me for so long also because of the child in my belly, so I must also get a child, other than this method, I can’t think of any other way."
