Transmigration: I Have Storage Space in the Apocalypse-Chapter 461 - 456 Xie Jinghong’s Troubles 11

————-

That young widow, I don’t know if she’s genuinely clueless or has some other scheme.

Anyway, she said she was so startled at the time, thinking the man was dead, that’s why she screamed her head off and exposed the matter.

In this, he really suffered an undeserved injury.

By the time he woke up in the hospital, he happened to hear the doctor’s diagnosis and passed out from shock again—there’s no helping it; which patient could stand hearing their testicle had been ruined right upon waking up, and not pass out again from the shock!

In the end, the woman had no choice but to call her brother-in-law, Fan Fengshou’s colleague, to settle things.

This colleague was also a fool, blabbering straight to his home, where his mother and wife and daughters were all present, and like this, the matter blew up.

This turned Fan Fengshou’s condition into something well-known overnight.

Fan Fengshou was caught in the act with his sister-in-law by his younger uncle; he was the guilty party, and even though one testicle was shattered, the other side paid a price too, and both parties should have simmered down.

But over these two months, rumors have gotten more and more out of hand, suggesting that Fan Fengshou’s remaining testicle was there, yet he’s been painted as a monster!

People outside don’t care about the actual condition of Fan Fengshou, the true circumstances, they just say how Fan Fengshou has messed around with the worn-out shoes, and with a newly widowed woman at that, as if it’s divine retribution!

Even the incident a few years ago, where Li Xiaoxia caused her elder sister-in-law to miscarry by pushing her, has been brought up again.

Saying: This couple, with poor morals, brought it upon themselves, and now Heaven is claiming their offspring!

With the topic out there, it’s made Fan Fengshou so irritated, that even with Li Xiaoxia being pressed by her parents, she shows no hint of compromise to Fan Fengshou’s repeated soft and lowly entreaties.

Fortunately, the wife’s family is noble-minded; they just made him promise repeatedly not to fool around outside anymore, and forgave him this one time for ’losing self-control when drunk’!

Regardless of how the doctors assured others, the Li Family knows medical diagnoses, after all, can’t just throw out this son-in-law over baseless rumors, right?

Others don’t know, but her family is well aware that Li Xiaoxia’s body simply cannot bear children anymore!

"Heh, heh heh, Fan Fengshou, now that you have money and status, you don’t think much of me, Li Xiaoxia, huh?"

Li Xiaoxia truly doesn’t want a divorce. Even though she found out that her husband, whom she always thought she had in her grasp, had an affair and messed around with someone sloppy, she still doesn’t want to divorce.

This is because the Fan Family isn’t clear, but she’s very clear that giving birth to her daughter years ago was nearly a difficult labor!

The doctor even said to her privately that she’d be extremely lucky to get pregnant again in this lifetime! For this reason, her mother spared no expense in hushing up the doctor!

Nearly eight years have passed, and the doctor’s words, like a thorn, have been stabbing her heart fiercely all this time.

Now, hearing that her husband got his testicle injured because he got involved with a young widow, that he’s unlikely to father children in the future, she feels both angry and relieved.

At least, from now on, no one can blame her for being infertile!

"Wife, I was wrong in this, don’t you know what kind of person I am?

That day, I really drank too much! She was Wu Jinming’s Little Aunt, and for some reason, Wu Jinming invited us over, kept bragging about his Little Aunt’s specialty dish, and how she’s recently widowed, with a son to raise on her own, no decent income to speak of. So she started making some private kitchen food to make a bit of spending money, even set up a room for us to have a few drinks. It’s not like I was the only one from my workplace who’d been there..."

Fan Fengshou, seeing that his wife was showing signs of softening, hurriedly tried to offer more explanations.

And what he said was indeed the truth.

Because it was indeed with that skill in cooking that the young widow managed to earn a bit of money, as for whether she got involved with a few men because of it, Fan Fengshou had no idea.

After all, she was like a wildflower, visited a few times just for a release, who would care whether she was respectable or not?

This matter should have ended right there.

The young widow’s brother-in-law wasn’t in a better situation than Fan Fengshou either.

The brother-in-law who caught them in the act was called Bao Guogang, he was already married, his wife pregnant with their third child. When she heard some noises at the widow’s place, she went to check it out with her seven-month belly.

That nosy woman, upon seeing her own husband inside, didn’t even think before rushing over and smacking the widow sister-in-law hard, causing her husband to get his elbow fractured by Fan Fengshou’s kick, and as her husband tumbled over her, she fell flat on her face, risking a premature birth!

And the extreme pain drove Bao Guogang mad, delivering a low blow with a kick, following which Fan Fengshou was kicked into unconsciousness.

With such a commotion, how could the neighbors not hear something? Until they heard the young widow’s scream from inside:

"Help, someone, someone’s dead!"

Then they heard the pregnant woman yelling that she was about to give birth, and now that a life was potentially at stake, it was serious business, and the neighbors rushed in to help.

Luckily, with Fan Fengshou knocked out cold, the fight couldn’t continue.

And the young widow had scrambled to put on her clothes in embarrassment the moment her brother-in-law burst in. Even if Feng Shou was drunk, he at least knew to put on a pair of underwear before making a drunken fool of himself.

With his wife about to give birth prematurely, the husband’s entire family was in a panic, rushing to check on Fan Fengshou’s condition, fearing that he might just die like that! They only left Mrs. Bao at home to watch over the alarmed pregnant daughter-in-law.

When they returned home from the hospital, his mother told him his wife had given premature birth to a daughter, a stillborn.

Because of the unexpected early birth and unwillingness to spend money at the hospital, the baby was suffocated to death in the womb. Fortunately, it was a girl. For a man with two daughters, the death of another daughter elicited no anger.

But because it was the death of a daughter, Fan Fengshou found it difficult to assert any moral high ground when seeking justice.

Fan Fengshou’s affair with the young widow was set up by his colleague Wu Jinming. The widow wasn’t young anymore, twenty-seven, with a son by her side – a child born during her husband’s lifetime.

But even though she bore a son for her husband’s family, that child’s grandparents, uncles, and aunts all refused to help out, all believing she was the cause of their son’s and brother’s death.

The young widow, a woman all by herself, with no fields or property, could barely make ends meet with odd jobs, let alone nourish a young child of five or six years old that was constantly hungry!

With no other options, all she could do was seek out another family, hoping to find a good man willing to accept her and her son in a second marriage.

But many men were unwilling to marry a woman with a child in tow. Moreover, the child was already six years old, able to recognize people, and in the minds of most, such a boy could never be brought up as one’s own, just to end up fighting with one’s biological children for inheritance later on.

There you have it, the woman had no choice but to drag things out.
