Chapter 392
Although Liu Chunhua was not the woman Pei JianGuo was interested in, only after marrying her did he start living a life that satisfied him the most.
This woman was quite good-looking, with a gentle personality, eyes downcast humbly. Whether in bed or in daily life, she could serve him very well and was obedient enough.
And Pei JianGuo, who had been with several women, was no longer naively longing for love like when he was young. Looking closely at the woman beside him, he actually felt that his current life was not bad.
At the same time, for Liu Chunhua, Pei JianGuo was also an ideal match.
He was handsome and capable of making money. He just had a bad temper occasionally and liked to be coaxed. As his wife, she not only had to be his wife, but also had to nurture and tolerate him all-around like his mother.
For Liu Chunhua, doing housework and pleasing others had long been ingrained skills. At the very least, Pei JianGuo would not beat or kick her when he was unhappy.
The only downside was that there was a meddlesome mother-in-law and sister-in-law, plus Pei JianGuo did not want to have another child.
That was fine too. It is said that a daughter-in-law who perseveres for ten years will wear down her mother-in-law. She would surely wear the old lady down sooner or later.
As for children, this was the only thing Liu Chunhua could not compromise on.
Pei JianGuo already had a son, but he was not her son.
What’s more, the child was not close to Pei JianGuo either, let alone her as a stepmother.
She was a woman, and more of a traditional woman. Her family education made her firmly believe that in order to gain a firm foothold in this family, she must give birth to her own son. Only then could she have someone to rely on in her old age. Pei JianGuo was very guarded against her. Knowing that he did not want children, she never dared to reveal her desire to have children in front of him. On the contrary, because of her previous miscarriage, she pretended to be very averse to having children.
Seeing that it was about time for him to take his last batch of contraceptive pills, Liu Chunhua began to make plans in her mind. She must seize this opportunity.
She secretly took out the money she had saved for a long time. The amount was not large, but it was enough to serve the purpose.
Liu Chunhua went out alone and secretly went to the hospital.
Today, Pei JianGuo came home a little late because he met his former colleagues after work and went out for a gathering.
Then he learned from his colleague a piece of news that did not make him very happy.
It turned out that the reason why he was able to be transferred to the Construction Bureau back then and was valued by senior leaders was actually because of An ZhiXia.
As for why he then sat on the bench again, it must be because the leaders knew that there was no affection between him and An ZhiXia.
This result made Pei JianGuo feel a little uncomfortable and hard to accept for a while.
In a depressed mood, he returned home to find that unlike usual days when a lamp would be left on in the living room no matter how late he came back, today it was pitch dark, worsening his already bad mood.
The bedroom was still dark. Could she be sleeping?
He did not doubt at all that Liu Chunhua would not be at home. When he decided to marry her, he knew that this woman was honest and timid, usually staying at home with little going out or contact with others. What’s more, it was so late, she simply had nowhere to go.
As for her natal family, it was obviously a dangerous place to begin with. As long as she was not stupid, she would not take the initiative to get close to them.
Back then, somehow Liu's Father got the news that Liu Chunhua had registered their marriage with him, and came to extort money from him.
Fortunately, Liu Chunhua also knew what her biological father was like. She took the initiative to cooperate with him and said that Gao Dalin owed a lot of money and she was given to him to pay off Gao Dalin’s debt. If Liu's Father wanted to take his daughter away, he had to pay back the money Gao Dalin owed first. After all, as Gao Dalin’s former wife, Liu Chunhua also had to bear his debts.
Liu's Father did not have much experience. He was so easily frightened away by Pei JianGuo’s nonsense ramblings. Since then, he never came again, afraid that Pei JianGuo would ask him for money instead.
Groping his way into the bedroom, it was still pitch-dark, but a bulging lump could be vaguely seen on the bed. Liu Chunhua was not fat to begin with, but she was slender and curved. In addition, her seldom going out kept her skin fair as snow, making her a beautiful yet pathetic woman.
Pei JianGuo turned on the light in the bedroom. Sitting on the edge of the bed, he could vaguely hear sobs coming from under the quilt.
He patted her shoulder comfortingly and asked, "Is it because my mother said something to you again? Don't be sad. She doesn't come often anyway. My mother is just like that, sharp tongue but soft hearted. We’ll just live our own life and pretend not to hear whatever she says."
From his tone of speaking, it could be heard that Wang Yue coming over to find fault for no reason was also quite common. He knew it well in his heart. It was just that between his mother and his wife, he chose to wrong his wife.
The impression Liu Chunhua gave him was that she seldom cried or made trouble. Even if she was a little moody, she could be easily soothed.
This time, instead of wiping away her tears to say it was fine, Liu Chunhua lifted the quilt and threw herself into his arms, sobbing unceasingly.
"What's wrong?" Pei JianGuo was a little panicked. Apart from when she was hospitalized for her miscarriage, he had never seen her in such a sorry state.
She understood him very well, knowing that he disliked trouble. Therefore, even if she was wronged, she would tidy up her mood very quickly so as not to annoy him.
"JianGuo, I feel so bad, I feel so bad..." Liu Chunhua sobbed.
"What on earth happened?" Pei JianGuo's brows were already furrowed with impatience. He was in a bad mood to begin with when he came home, and now it was even more depressing.
"You know my body has always been kind of abnormal. Today I went to the hospital for a checkup. The doctor said... The doctor said I damaged my body from the last miscarriage and didn’t recuperate well afterwards. It’s possible that I won't be able to conceive anymore in the future... woo woo..." Liu Chunhua stammered out before crying even harder.
There was a flash of remorse in Pei JianGuo's eyes.
Liu Chunhua's last miscarriage was also his fault.
"JianGuo, I can't have children anymore. I'm an abnormal woman. I'm so scared, so scared that you won't want me anymore. You won't abandon me, right?"
Pei JianGuo came back to his senses and hurriedly held her in his arms. "Foolish, what nonsense are you talking about? How could I not want you? We are husband and wife. We have to spend our whole life together."
For Pei JianGuo, this was a win-win situation.
He already had a son. At first he was reluctant to have children with Liu Chunhua because he himself was uncertain about how far they could go. Later, when he thoroughly understood Liu Chunhua’s personality, he really had the idea of just living like this in the future.
It was just that family planning had already been implemented at that time. As a civil servant, he could only have one child according to regulations. Although PingAn did not live with him, his household registration was still under him. If he wanted another child, he had to quit his job.
