200 Men Should Always Soldier On
“I can give you the divorce letter right now!” Wu Erlang gave Ms. Zhu a sidelong glance, not concealing his disgust at all.
Ms. Zhu was so used to it that she was already numb and didn’t show any emotion.
Zhao Chuchu had done so much for her, and her great aunt had promised to explain to the Wu clan. Therefore, if she were still torn, she would really be sorry to Zhao Chuchu.
What was more, she had grown extremely sick of Wu Erlang.
She decided she wouldn’t have any men for the rest of her life.
Zhao Chuchu saw this and said, “Then come and get the medicine once you have settled the divorce, well, in three days.”
“Good!” Wu Erlang answered and then asked the Qiu clan’s servant to send a pen, ink, paper, and ink stone to write a divorce letter.
A divorce could be good for both parties.
Although it was a straightforward process, it had a significant meaning to a woman in this era.
But for Ms. Zhu, it was the best ending.
“Are you satisfied?” Wu Erlang said viciously to Ms. Zhu.
Zhao Chuchu said, “Mr. Zhu, will you watch your attitude? No one is forcing you to do anything, and people don’t owe you anything. What makes you think you can talk to her like that? If she is my sister, I will make sure you can’t make it home alive.”
Afterward, Zhao Chuchu went to the coffee table, took a mug, reached out, and pressed it. Then the whole cup was embedded in the coffee table as if the coffee table was made of clay.
Wu Erlang broke out in a cold sweat and had difficulty breathing.
“Mr. Zhu, I think you know better than me regarding the relationship. It’s just that sometimes we need some disciplines as humans,” Zhao Chuchu said indifferently.
Wu Erlang did not dare to say anything.
His head was not as hard as a coffee table. He didn’t want Zhao Chuchu to slap his head like that.
“Mrs. Xie, thanks a lot.” Ms. Zhu stood up and gave a salute to Zhao Chuchu.
“Don’t mention it.” Zhao Chuchu gave her a hand. “It’s good that you can discuss this matter and solve it properly. Ms. Zhu, why don’t you stay in the city first? In three days, I will deliver the medicine here.”
“Well, I’ll just wait.” Wu Erlang’s face was expressionless.
Only then did Zhao Chuchu leave the Qiu clan.
Wu Erlang was angry with Ms. Zhu, but when his eyes fell on the coffee table, he swallowed the words that came to his lips.
He did not want to offend Zhao Chuchu.
If he really wanted to settle the score, he should wait until his illness was cured.
“Take care of yourself.” Ms. Zhu also gave a salute to Wu Erlang, turned around, and walked out.
Wu Erlang looked at Ms. Zhu’s back and was furious.
However, there was nothing he could do.
After Zhao Chuchu returned to the Gan clan, she told Xie Heng about Wu Erlang.
Xie Heng was silent for a moment before he said with a complicated expression, “Wu Erlang has a child.”
Zhao Chuchu immediately looked confused.
Xie Heng explained. “Wu Erlang’s love for men has become a big issue because of his child. The child’s birth mother is the Wu clan’s maid. If we do the math, the maid should already have a child by now.”
“Wu Erlang has been so repulsive to Ms. Zhu…”
“The child’s birth mother took advantage of Wu Erlang when he was drunk and used every means to get her hands on him. So later, when she knew that Wu Erlang was gay, she broke down. Ms. Zhu jumped into the well and killed herself in the end.”
Zhao Chuchu did not see this coming.
“The child’s birth mother is really…” Zhao Chuchu didn’t even know what to say about her.
However, Wu Erlang needed a child, and she also got what she wanted, so it was even between them.
Ms. Zhu couldn’t deal with it, and it ended in tragedy.
That was why gay men who sought female partners should be condemned.
“Now that Wu Erlang has given Ms. Zhu the divorce letter, I think the maid will be excited to let the Wu clan know that she is pregnant, and Wu Erlang will be happy to make her his wife.” Zhao Chuchu said, “This is not something I should intervene in.”
“Judging from that maid’s nature, things will go wrong sooner or later.”
“Well, the Wu clan spoiled Wu Erlang. He is not a good man. Whatever he ends up with, he deserves it. Since you promised to cure him for Ms. Zhu, just get the medicine ready for him sooner.”
“You’re not angry?”
“You are a doctor. How can I be angry with you for treating people? Chuchu, I am not the kind of person who is unreasonable. I understand that there is no difference between men and women in the eyes of a doctor. Of course, if there is something that you are not comfortable looking at, I can cover you. Although I do not know any medical skills, I can inform you of the symptoms.”
Zhao Chuchu shook her head. “You don’t want to see the symptoms of Wu Erlang’s disease. I can identify it through pulse diagnosis. I don’t need to check it in person.”
“Then what if it hurts where it’s private?”
“Da Lang, are you jealous? Let me tell you. I have seen many more bodies of men and women than you can imagine. No matter what it is, in my eyes, it’s just a body organ. You don’t have to worry about anything.”
Xie Heng’s face was beetroot red. “I didn’t mean that. I mean, I can try to help you when the time comes. Chuchu, after all, this is not the same here. Even if you mean well, people can still hate you. I don’t want you to suffer any grievances because of this.”
Zhao Chuchu smiled. “I know your good intentions. However, no man would like to make an injury like this public. Aren’t you afraid of being suspected of being impotent?”
Zhao Chuchu couldn’t understand more the so-called dignity of men.
If a man were hurt in his private parts, he would die before he told anybody about his injury.
Men should always soldier on.
That was their common maxim.
“It’s my fault.” Xie Heng apologized. “Chuchu, don’t take what I said seriously.”
“I know you are afraid that I will be taken advantage of, but Da Lang, no one can take advantage of me unless I want to.” Zhao Chuchu abruptly approached Xie Heng, winked playfully, and pinched Xie Heng’s handsome face.
Xie Heng’s breath seemed caught as he stared at Zhao Chuchu in a daze.
He had seen many women, but none as vibrant as Zhao Chuchu. She was like a butterfly fluttering among flowers, always landing on people’s hearts without a second thought.
“Well, Da Lang, I have my own judgment. I can take care of myself.” Zhao Chuchu stood up straight.
“Well, I believe you.” Xie Heng smiled gently.
Zhao Chuchu took Xie Heng’s hand and walked outside. “Then how about you come with me to buy some medicine?”
Xie Heng looked down and held Zhao Chuchu’s hand in turn.
He measured it with his own palm and found that their hands were very different. Her hand was small and soft, so he couldn’t let go of it once he held it.
In the front yard, Xie Jun saw the two coming out together and got up. He wanted to say he would like to go out with them, but when he saw their fingers intertwined, he immediately sat down. “Brother, Chuchu, I heard there are many stalls selling snacks in town. Don’t forget to bring some back for me.”
This was the best he could do to help his brother.
He hoped his brother could hold Chuchu’s hand for a longer time!
