“So, this is why we doctors advocate for planned breeding,” the therapist said, her tone serious. “A woman without love is not fit to bear children, yet it’s an inevitability that can’t be avoided. Here’s what I’ll do—I’ll write down some suggestions for you. If you follow these steps, there should be some improvement.”

Gu Zi was deeply grateful to the therapist. She escorted her to the village entrance to catch her ride home.

After bidding the therapist farewell, Gu Zi held Su Le in her arms, preparing to head back. As she turned, she noticed a figure struggling with a suitcase and a handful of bags. The person appeared disheveled, causing Gu Zi to squint for a moment before recognizing her as Su Jing.

Su Shen had mentioned that Su Jing would be returning in a few days. She had indeed returned, but she looked worn and travel-weary, a stark contrast to her usual city-dweller sophistication. Gu Zi furrowed her brows, approaching Su Jing. “Did you run away from something?”

Su Le stared at Su Jing for a while before opening her small mouth to call out, “Auntie.”

The word “Auntie” seemed to alleviate Su Jing’s fatigue and frustration from her journey. She patted the little girl’s head, “That’s right, it’s Auntie. It’s good that you recognize me. Sister-in-law, why are you out here? But it’s perfect timing, could you help me with my suitcase? I’m exhausted.”

As she spoke, she removed the hair tie from her disheveled hair, combing it with her fingers before tying it back up neatly. She looked more refreshed, but a red mark on her forehead, like a bruise, was now visible.

Gu Zi noticed the mark and pulled the suitcase over, “Alright, you poor thing. What happened to your head?” She began to walk towards home, pulling the suitcase along. Su Jing picked up her other bags and followed.

Su Jing explained, “I bumped into something during a scuffle with the Tian family. But compared to the problems they’re facing, this is nothing.

“Today, they all went out to handle some matters, so I took the opportunity to pack up and leave. Look at all this—these are all the valuable things I bought. I didn’t leave them a single thing. Did they really think I would stay and marry into their family? Ridiculous.”

Gu Zi hadn’t expected Su Jing to be so ruthless, not leaving a single penny for the Tian family. Wouldn’t this infuriate them?

But it was a good thing. The Tian family were not good people, especially Tian Hai. Just thinking about him made Gu Zi feel sick. Su Jing’s actions were indirectly avenging her.

Gu Zi said, “If my hands weren’t full, I would give you a thumbs up. That was really satisfying.” The two women laughed and chatted as they made their way home.

Along the way, many people saw and the rumors of discord between the women of the Su family were thoroughly dispelled. Those who had previously gossiped now held their tongues, feeling as if they had been slapped in the face.

A woman, privy to the inside story, spoke up confidently, “I told you their relationship has improved, but you didn’t believe me. The last time I went to the pig farm to deliver food to my husband, I saw Su Jing and Gu Zi together, delivering food to Su Shen. Su Jing even made fried glutinous rice for everyone. Her attitude has improved, and everyone was surprised.

“The whole thing was Tian Hai’s fault. He’s not a good person. Even with Su Jing by his side, he was never content. He was always messing around with other women. Many women in our village were his mistresses. Why would Su Jing trade her good family for such a man? Su Jing, after all, is Su Shen’s sister. She’s not that foolish.”

Upon hearing this, many people agreed. The truth was now in front of them, and it was always right to follow the general trend.

However, a woman in the crowd had a twisted expression on her face, muttering under her breath, “How could this be…”

She had thought she could enjoy the spectacle of her former lover’s embarrassment, but now everyone was praising Su Jing. Su Jing was just a woman who had been slept with by Tian Hai. , However, Su Jing was lucky to be Su Shen’s sister and had a strong family to rely on, so she could still live so brilliantly. This was truly unbearable!

When Su Jing and Gu Zi returned home and went upstairs to put away their things, they heard someone shouting outside. Recognizing the familiar voice, Su Jing ran out to see, a hint of joy in her eyes.

Indeed, without a man, she could still have so much more, like her family, and this former primary school classmate. Su Jing remembered that they had always been good playmates, good friends. After she moved to the city, they lost contact for a long time. She never expected Li Li would come to find her. Perhaps this friendship could be rekindled.

Su Jing opened the door and welcomed Li Li in. Gu Zi didn’t bother with them and went upstairs to read. Li Li looked around at the furnishings in the Su family’s home, the television, the sofa, the floor tiles, and various snacks…

Each item showcased their affluent conditions. Her heart felt as if it had been soaked in a jar of vinegar, burning with intense jealousy.
