199 One Less Poor Woman

Zhao Chuchu shook her head. “One’s nature can’t be changed. More people would suffer if they were forced to change it.”

“But how else could our Wu clan continue the lineage?” Elder Mrs. Qiu asked in a trembling voice. “Is it really going to stop here?”

Zhao Chuchu did not know what to say.

Elder Mrs. Qiu was indeed good. However, if she adopted a child for Wu Erlang to teach, no one would know what that child would become.

!!

If that day did come, not only could Wu Erlang not teach that child properly, but he might also ruin that child’s future.

After all, Wu Erlang was not a good person.

“Mrs. Xie, please do something about it. I beg you,” Elder Mrs. Qiu pleaded. “Money is not a problem.”

“It’s not a matter of money. As you are naturally fond of men, would you agree to be with a woman? It’s your brother’s nature to like men, and there’s nothing wrong with that. He’s just facing up to the matter now and does not want to waste Ms. Zhu’s time.”

“But…”

“Sister, whether it’s her or other women, I can’t have children with them, so you should stop pushing me! Why don’t you just let Dad and Mom have another son?”

“You bastard, don’t you know how old Dad and Mom are?”

“Then you can let Dad marry another woman. Anyway, they can always give birth to a son.”

Elder Mrs. Qiu was so angry that she almost fainted.

She slapped Wu Erlang on the face.

Wu Erlang covered his face and looked gloomy, but he did not say anything.

“Are…are you going to anger Dad and Mom to death? Why didn’t you say it earlier?” Elder Mrs. Qiu shed tears.

Zhao Chuchu estimated that Wu Erlang would probably be in his early thirties, so it would be impossible for his mother to have another child.

“What should the Wu clan do?”

“They can adopt a child from a side branch. What’s so difficult about that? Stop crying. Others who don’t know will think I’m bullying you,” Wu Erlang said coldly. “I can’t have children, and this won’t change even if you kill me.”

He had no desire for women.

Ms. Zhu was a good-looking woman when she was young. However, he was so disgusted that he vomited when he was with Ms. Zhu. So even if it were another woman, he would still be the same.

Even the medication didn’t work, so what else could he do?

Anyway, Wu Erlang gave up.

He thought he had done well enough that he did not even let Ms. Zhu take the blame for not being able to give birth.

When she looked at the two siblings, Zhao Chuchu did not know what to do.

“Mr. Wu, there’s something else you haven’t said,” Zhao Chuchu reminded Wu Erlang.

Wu Erlang’s expression changed slightly, and after a moment, he reluctantly said, “I’ve got a disease. That kind of disease…”

Hearing this, Elder Mrs. Qiu stumbled two steps, holding onto the table next to her before she could barely stabilize herself.

“Wu Erlang, you…you are simply heartless!” Elder Mrs. Qiu laughed in anger. No wonder Ms. Zhu had aged so quickly over the years. She was lucky enough not to die of anger when she married such a man.

As a woman, Elder Mrs. Qiu really felt sorry for Ms. Zhu.

“Sister-in-law, it’s all our fault for not knowing these things and making you suffer,” cried Elder Mrs. Qiu as she hugged Ms. Zhu.

Ms. Zhu’s tears kept falling.

She thought that her sister-in-law would curse her and blame her for this. However, she did not expect her sister-in-law to be so reasonable and to feel sorry for her in turn.

“Sister, I… I’m fine,” Ms. Zhu said with a choked sob.

“We are both women. Is it possible for me not to understand your suffering?” Elder Mrs. Qiu said.

Ms. Zhu did not say anything.

She was satisfied that someone could understand her.

She really didn’t want to say anything else.

“Elder Mrs. Qiu, don’t cry. I can cure Mr. Wu’s illness. But you are also a woman, so you should understand your sister-in-law’s suffering,” Zhao Chuchu said. “I care more than I should because I hope there will be one fewer poor woman.”

“Mrs. Xie, you are a good person, and I don’t mean to blame you. It’s all our fault. I didn’t know that Erlang is…If I had known it earlier, how would I have let him harm others like this?”

If she had known it earlier, she would have persuaded her parents to have two more children when they were still young.

Then how could she still be as torn as she was now?

Elder Mrs. Qiu felt bad, but she understood that no one else was to blame.

She wondered if she had met such a man, how would she have lived the rest of her life? However, she didn’t think that Zhao Chuchu was wrong to help Ms. Zhu just because Wu Erlang was her brother.

“Mrs. Xie, I felt so bad just because I couldn’t accept the truth for a while,” Elder Mrs. Qiu explained. “I also do not know how angry my parents will be when they find out about this…”

“Things will eventually sort themselves out. It’s useless for you to think too much about it now. The most important thing right now is to devise a solution that satisfies all,” Zhao Chuchu said. She glanced at Wu Erlang. “In addition to that, I don’t know if other people in your family have contracted the same disease as Mr. Wu.”

That “subordinate” was someone who could go out of his way to live comfortably.

He probably went to find a woman for pleasure after sleeping with Wu Erlang because there was no male brothel in Yuanjiang County. Therefore, Wu Erlang’s disease was probably infected by others.

According to Ms. Zhu’s few words, that man took a crucial position. So, he should be more than just tangled up with Wu Erlang. Other members of the Wu clan were probably involved as well.

“Tell me! Who…who is that person?” Elder Mrs. Qiu questioned Wu Erlang with a red face.

Wu Erlang had a sullen face and did not answer.

Seeing this, Zhao Chuchu knew that she had guessed correctly.

“You guys discuss your family matters. I’ll go out first.” When things came to this point, Zhao Chuchu left time for the three of them.

After leaving that room, Zhao Chuchu was relieved and felt the air was fresher.

...

Wu Erlang really did not deserve to be a man.

How could he sleep with that man in front of his wife?

It was so disgusting.

If it were the end of the world now, she would have taught him a lesson so that he wouldn’t dare do it again.

After about half an hour, the three came out of the room.

Wu Erlang still looked terrible.

However, Ms. Zhu cast a grateful glance at Zhao Chuchu, which obviously meant that Elder Mrs. Qiu had already decided to let them divorce.

However, Elder Mrs. Qiu did not look to be in a good mood.

After all, men living together with men was not prevalent in the Wei Dynasty or could even be said to be rejected.

Who would want their brother to be so “unique”?

But things had come to this point, and she couldn’t stand by and watch Ms. Zhu being held up for the rest of her life like that.

...

Ms. Zhu was only in her thirties but looked even older than her.

“Mrs. Xie, Erlang is counting on you. As for the matter of him and my sister-in-law, I will go back to the Wu clan’s house and talk to my family properly.” Elder Mrs. Qiu pulled herself together.

Zhao Chuchu said, “Don’t worry. I will cure your brother’s illness.”

“Thank you,” Elder Mrs. Qiu said. “I’ve been away from home for too long, so I want to go back to my parents’ house to check in on them. So I’ll leave first.”

“Okay.”

Elder Mrs. Qiu glanced at Wu Erlang and sighed softly. Then she turned around and left.

Only then did Wu Erlang speak. “Mrs. Xie, I have agreed to your terms. So when will you start treating me?”

“There is no hurry. It will take some time to prepare the medicine.” Zhao Chuchu asked, “When do you plan to divorce?”
