196 He’s not Interested in Women

Acupuncture was too painful.

For a ten-year-old child, it was really cruel.

But although Xie Jun was afraid, he never failed to cooperate.

He took out a handkerchief and bit it. As soon as Zhao Chuchu stuck the needle in, he was in so much pain that he broke out in a cold sweat.

It was the first time Gan Yingzhi watched the process of Xie Jun being treated. He grew nervous seeing Xie Jun in such pain.

But Gan Yingzhi did not dare disturb Zhao Chuchu. Only when Zhao Chuchu finished applying the needles did he rush to find a clean handkerchief to wipe Xie Jun’s sweat.

“Chuchu, is Junjun’s illness very serious? Why does he hurt like this?”

“His illness is exceptional, so it’s not easy to cure.” Zhao Chuchu stroked Xie Jun’s head. “After some more time, Junjun won’t need acupuncture treatment anymore.”

“Sis, I can bear it,” Xie Jun said weakly with a pale face. “I will get better.”

Seeing Xie Jun so understanding, Gan Yingzhi sighed and said, “God is not fair. How come all the children of the Xie clan have such a hard life? Fortunately, you are here, Chuchu. Otherwise, the two brothers would have an even harder time.”

“Uncle Gan, we’re fine. We don’t live a hard life.” Xie Jun retorted in a soft voice. “All the luck was spent on marrying my sister-in-law. One should not be too greedy.”

Zhao Chuchu was touched when she heard this.

“Yes, we will be fine,” Zhao Chuchu said in a soft voice. “Junjun, be brave. When you recover, you can eat whatever you want and go wherever you want. You won’t have to worry so much by then!”

“Well, I’ll listen to you, Sis.”

Xie Jun looked at Zhao Chuchu. His big black grape-like eyes were full of trust in Zhao Chuchu.

Gan Yingzhi also said, “Your sister-in-law is the miracle doctor of Yuanjiang County. She will definitely cure you.”

Xie Jun nodded repeatedly.

He liked his current sister-in-law so much now.

He hoped his brother would be more courageous and let his sister-in-law move back to his room sooner.

For the next few days, Zhao Chuchu went back and forth between the Gan clan’s house and the Qiu clan’s house.

Old Mr. Qiu’s condition improved daily, and the Qiu clan was even more grateful to Zhao Chuchu.

And Elder Mrs. Qiu’s younger brother also came into town at this time.

Elder Mrs. Qiu came from the neighboring Yongfu Town, and her father was a wealthy man. Although her clan was not comparable to the Qiu clan, it was still rich and had a few servants at home.

Her younger brother was 32 years old and had been married for 15 years, but he had no children.

Zhao Chuchu’s mouth twitched when she saw this man.

He looked like a man who had overindulged in sex and couldn’t be impotent.

However, his wife probably thought too much about children and looked older than she was. Standing next to Elder Mrs. Qiu’s brother, she looked like she was in her forties.

Elder Mrs. Qiu had only one sibling. Their last name was Wu, and her brother was named Wu Erlang.

Wu Erlang looked reluctant. His family had probably forced him to see a doctor.

Elder Mrs. Qiu was very nervous. She waited for Zhao Chuchu to finish performing acupuncture on Old Mr. Qiu. Then she quickly invited Zhao Chuchu to the backyard to diagnose her brother and sister-in-law.

Wu Erlang was impatient. “Sister, I’ve taken many types of medicine. How can it be of any use? You should stop worrying about me. I’m already planning to adopt a child. As long as my side raises him, why does it matter if he’s not my own?”

“Dad and Mom have been looking forward to you having a child. Adopted children are never as close as your own. You cannot be so capricious. Our Wu clan still needs someone to continue the family lineage. Mrs. Xie’s medical skills are excellent, so she can definitely cure you.”

Zhao Chuchu listened on the side and did not know if she should tell the truth.

Wu Erlang was not impotent. It was just that the object of his interest was not a woman.

His wife must have known about it, but she didn’t dare to say it to save face.

Zhao Chuchu did not despise homosexuality, but cheating in marriage deserved death.

What did his wife do wrong? Why should she live like a widow?

Zhao Chuchu felt sick just thinking about that scene.

Elder Mrs. Qiu was still arguing with Wu Erlang.

Wu Erlang insisted that he was born to be like that and didn’t want to take any more medicine.

His wife, however, still held a glimmer of hope that Zhao Chuchu could make him normal again.

But sexual orientation was inborn. So how could it be changed?

“I said I wouldn’t see a doctor. You are so nosy and let Mom and Dad forced me to come. Why do you care if I have a child or not? If you have this time, you might as well help my brother-in-law take care of the Qiu clan. Besides, what can such a little girl be capable of? Only you guys are stupid enough to believe such a liar.”

Wu Erlang targeted Zhao Chuchu before Zhao Chuchu could say anything.

“How much silver do you want? Just say it. Why did you give my family hope and then let them down in the end? Even a doctor with decades of experience can’t treat me, so how can you do that?”

Zhao Chuchu looked at him indifferently. “Are you sure you want me to tell the truth? You can’t judge whether I’m a good doctor or not with just one word.”

“If you can get my wife pregnant, I will get down on my knees and do whatever you ask me to do.”

“No need. I’m not in the habit of asking people to do whatever I want.”

Wu Erlang snorted coldly.

Elder Mrs. Qiu was embarrassed, not expecting her brother to be so resistant to seeing the doctor.

She looked apologetically at Zhao Chuchu.

“Sister, you’re the one who’s paying her. So you don’t have to be subservient to her.” Wu Erlang added, “I admit that I can’t give birth to a son. So it’s useless for you to force me.”

Zhao Chuchu did not answer Wu Erlang’s words but looked at his wife, Ms. Zhu.

“What do you think?”

Ms. Zhu froze for a moment.

“Me?”

“Yes.”

Ms. Zhu timidly glanced at Wu Erlang. “I…I…want a child.”

Zhao Chuchu was speechless.

“Elder Mrs. Qiu, you and your brother should go out first. I’ll have a few words with your sister-in-law.” Zhao Chuchu could only dismiss Elder Mrs. Qiu and her brother.

Ms. Zhu didn’t know what Zhao Chuchu was going to do and was a little nervous. “Doctor, is it my problem?”

“Both you and your husband have problems,” Zhao Chuchu said. “I want to ask you a question, and you should answer me truthfully. You have not yet slept with your husband, right?”

Ms. Zhu suddenly looked up after hearing this, and her face paled.

“There is no such thing. Don’t talk nonsense, Mrs. Xie.” Her tone was a bit agitated.

Zhao Chuchu looked calm. “I am a doctor and know it at a glance. You are still a virgin. You’ve been married for 15 years but live like a widow. I want to ask you. Do you still want to hold on to hope when you know it’s already impossible?”

Ms. Zhu kept silent for a moment.

Zhao Chuchu’s words poked at the secret she had hidden deep in her heart.

That was true. She hadn’t been married to Wu Erlang long before she knew that Wu Erlang liked men, not women.

At first, Wu Erlang did not touch her because she was nervous, and at that time, she was happy and felt that she had married a man who respected her.

But as time passed day by day, Wu Erlang still showed no interest when they shared the same bed and even resisted her touch. Then he preferred to sleep on the floor instead of sleeping with her in the same bed.

Until one day, she saw the truth.
