Rebirth: Divine Doctor, Sweet Wife

Wang Guozhu slammed the door and left. Along the way, he ran into Zhang Xiaohui and her daughter, Gu Ruoqing.

He was instantly vexed!

He might be vexed, but Zhang Xiaohui and Gu Ruoqing were equally upset!

Gu Qingyao and Mo Beihan were engaged and their engagement banquet had been so grand. Whenever the brigade mentioned it, they envied Gu Qingyao for marrying well. Someone had even compared her to Gu Qingyao.

They said that since Gu Qingyao had remained in the Gu family and had three capable older uncles and so many promising older cousins to support her, the match they had made for her was certainly a good one.

Mo Beihan was from a good background and was doing well in his career outside. His prospects were bright.

Gu Qingyao would certainly have a good future.

Then they mentioned her, Gu Ruoqing. They said something about how she was a daughter of the Gu family, but ever since Zhang Xiaohui’s divorce, Gu Ruoqing’s destiny could not compare with that of Gu Qingyao. Especially since she had stupidly broken off her ties with them.

Zhang Xiaohui was a middle-aged divorcée, and all the Zhangs were burdens. Her eldest uncle still could not get out of bed. He cried and wailed all day and was probably going to be useless for the rest of his life. None of the remaining sons and grandsons were outstanding. They only earned a few labor points in the brigade every year, and it was not enough to support the entire Zhang family.

In the past, the Zhang family had Zhang Xiaohui, who would bring them things to help them out. Now, without the Gu family to subsidize them, the Zhang family probably could not keep itself alive.

In these circumstances, the Zhang family would certainly treat Gu Ruoqing like a slave of the family. Based on Old Madam Zhang’s tendency to be biased towards boys, she might even marry Gu Ruoqing off in order to get food for her eldest grandson to get married.

Gu Ruoqing was destined for a tough life!

When these words reached Gu Ruoqing and Zhang Xiaohui’s ears, they almost went mad with rage.

Their hearts were set on being city folk. They had already come to an agreement with Wang Guozhu. Now it was already the ninth day of the new year and Wang Guozhu still was not divorced. Zhang Xiaohui and Gu Ruoqing could not wait any longer.

“Why are you here? Xiaohui, you’re pregnant. What if you fall on a snowy and frosty day like that? Why aren’t you staying at home and nourishing the child instead of running around?”

Zhang Xiaohui felt incredibly wronged. They had not seen each other for a few days and she was pregnant. But the moment he saw her, he blamed her instead of showing concern for her.

“Isn’t it because I wanted to see you? Our son has been growing in my womb for so long, but his father refuses to give him his birthright. I’m already divorced. If this child is born, he will definitely be drowned because people will say he’s a bastard of uncertain origins.”

“You…”

Wang Guozhu was really angry. He truly valued the child in Zhang Xiaohui’s womb. “What are you saying? He’s my son, of course I’ll acknowledge him.”

“Then when are you getting a divorce? This matter cannot wait any longer, or my pregnancy will begin to show. If this drags on, even if we get married in the future, and the child is born too early, people will smell a rat.

“It doesn’t matter about us adults. But Guozhu, spare a thought for our son! It’s not easy for us to have a son and for the Wang family to have an heir. Can you bear for others to criticize and make comments about him?”

“I… of course I can’t bear it!”

“Then hurry up and divorce! We’ll get married immediately after your divorce. Right now, there is still time. Otherwise… I’m worried about our son! He’s already beginning to move in my womb. In a few months, we’ll have a fair, plump son. He’ll be so adorable! In the future, he will carry on your family line. No matter what, we must consider our son. Don’t you agree?”

Wang Guozhu felt helpless. “I understand. But… Zhou Hong refuses to divorce me!”

“What?” Zhang Xiaohui screamed!
