Chapter 381: Chapter 261: Find_2

"Really?" Yu Tao sighed lightly, "I keep thinking about this issue, but unfortunately my body has let me down, ah, what can you do when you encounter such things?

Do you know what my mom said? She said that for me and Zhou Xikang to end up married under these circumstances, it must mean we enjoyed too much fortune in our past life. This life, the heavens decided to take something away."

Alas, I don’t know if it can ever be cured. If we can’t cure it and can’t have babies in this lifetime, I really don’t know what to do."

Sister-in-law," Yu Tao grasped Chuxia’s hand tightly, "It seems your brother and I won’t be able to fulfill the elder’s wishes of having grandchildren any time soon, we are going to rely more on you..."

"Sister-in-law," Chuxia interrupted her, gazing at her critically, "What is actually going on? Just tell me straight, don’t beat around the bush with me here."

"Beat around the bush?" Yu Tao shook her head, "I’m not beating around the bush, I’m just chatting with my sister-in-law."

"Chatting?" Chuxia chuckled, "Sister-in-law, do you really feel like chatting at this time? Come on, what’s really going on?"

"Nothing much." Yu Tao’s expression visibly tightened, "I just have to move houses, I’m feeling reluctant about it. Talking with the elders makes me worried it would upset them, considering you have not been here long and aren’t as emotionally attached, I thought I could share it with you, haha... "

"Really?" Chuxia looked at her skeptically, feeling that something about her story didn’t quite add up. Although she hadn’t spent much time with Yu Tao, she remembered her as being calm and gentle, always smiling, with a good temperament. The Yu Tao she knew and the one rambling in front of her now seemed very different.

"Really." Yu Tao tightened her grip on Chuxia’s hand, "Who else could I talk to about this? If I mentioned even a word to Jiping, she might explode."

Thinking of Zhou Jiping, Chuxia also felt a bit sad.

Since they had met, Zhou Jiping struck her as straightforward and kind, a very sunny woman.

It was only a couple of days ago that she found out that the reason Zhou Jiping often stayed at her parents’ house was that she had no children after getting married and couldn’t stand her mother-in-law’s nagging, which drove her to seek refuge back at her parents’ home.

In secret, Lin Yanqiu and Old Madam Zhou had often advised her, implying that she should spend more time with her mother-in-law and visit her husband occasionally. Only through more interaction and growing closer could she hope to conceive sooner.

Zhou Jiping listened and did as advised, but the situation only worsened.

Especially recently, when a problem arose, Zhou Jiping’s in-laws treated her even more poorly, and as for Zhou Jiping’s husband, he hadn’t visited the Zhou family even once.

Indeed, she still didn’t even know what Zhou Jiping’s husband’s name was.

Knowing this, she started paying more attention to Zhou Jiping, realizing that her smile rarely reached her eyes, meaning her smiles were painful.

The importance of children to a woman is clear, especially in this era. Although Zhou Jiping married into a very ordinary family, if she couldn’t have a child, her status at home would likely continue to decline, possibly even leading to the dissolution of her marriage.

If Zhou Jiping had a bad personality, it might be different, but unfortunately, she was such a kind woman. Then looking at Yu Tao in front of her, also a kind person, she wondered if this era just had a particularly high number of infertile women?

Before, she didn’t recall many infertile people around her, or perhaps, she just hadn’t paid attention?

Chuxia sighed and stood up: "Sister-in-law, let’s go downstairs."

Yu Tao was also regretting having chosen such a gloomy topic and was desperately searching for a new topic when she saw Chuxia stand up; she hurriedly caught her, "Sister-in-law, sit a little longer. Downstairs is busy and chaotic, let’s not go down yet, sit for a little longer. They will call us when the car arrives."

"No need." Chuxia didn’t want to stay any longer, finding the atmosphere too oppressive.

"Sister-in-law!" Yu Tao held her tightly, her forehead breaking into a sweat.

Although Chuxia was less experienced, she wasn’t foolish. Seeing Yu Tao’s behavior, she knew there must be something downstairs that Yu Tao didn’t want her to see. "Sister-in-law, what’s really going on? Just tell me."

"Nothing’s going on." Yu Tao continued defiantly clinching her teeth.

"There must be something." Chuxia stared at her intently, "Sister-in-law, you don’t know what to tell me, and you only talked about that as a last resort. To put it bluntly, you’re torturing yourself to entertain me. With this situation, do you really think I would believe there’s nothing wrong?"
