92 Cheating Husband
Feeling her embarrassment, Xia Wan said to Xia Chen and Xia Feng, “You guys should leave us for a bit. I’ll talk to this sister alone.”
Xia Chen nodded and left with Xia Feng, though they didn’t stray too far and stayed in the shop where Xia Wan had bought things.
Without the two of them present, Huang Ying finally decided to speak. She sighed faintly and said, “Two years ago, my husband had an affair. I went to the factory to bring him food and found that his office door was closed in the middle of the day. You know, a woman’s intuition has always been accurate.
“The moment I entered, I saw a young lady sitting on his lap. The two were in a compromising position, to say the least. I felt like I was about to have a heart attack.
!!
“All these years, I quit my job at the factory to take care of my two sons and him. However, instead of cherishing me, he betrayed me. From then on, we often argued. At first, he would apologize and say he wouldn’t do it again. But slowly, he began to find me annoying. He said that he earned all the money I spent and had no right to blame him.
“It seems men think that they can do whatever they want just because they are the breadwinners. They think that they’re the kings of their families and that the women who wash their clothes and cook for them are worthless. But why doesn’t he think about it? If I didn’t do anything for him behind the scenes, how could he work in peace?”
Xia Wan listened attentively. “So, from then on, you and your husband had a problem in your relationship?” she asked. “You two slowly became unable to communicate, and you became suspicious, anxious, and couldn’t sleep well?”
“How did you know?” Huang Ying asked in surprise. That was indeed how she felt.
Xia Wan had a rough understanding of Huang Ying’s situation. If she wanted to cure her illness, she had to solve her family conflict. However, persuading her to divorce her husband was not an easy thing to do. It could also be considered destroying the family.
“Sister, I can prescribe medicine for you, but I think there are only two ways to solve your husband’s problem. One is to divorce him while you’re still young, but you have to find evidence of his extramarital affair. In this way, you can go through the legal process and get a good amount of alimony.
“Or you can continue to live with your husband, but sister, you have to think about it carefully. You’re not a parasite that depends on him. Even without him, you can still live well. I think you can find a job. On the one hand, you’ll have more confidence with an income. On the other, you’ll definitely meet a lot of colleagues after you find a job. Talking to them can help you undo the knot in your heart.”
Huang Jie nodded. “Actually, I understand what you’re saying. It’s been so long, so it’s time for me to let it go. Can you prescribe me some medicine? I’ve also bought some clothes. How much is it in total?”
Xia Wan didn’t try to persuade her anymore. She calculated and said, “The clothes cost 60 yuan. I’ll charge you 10 yuan for the medicine. We’re fated to meet. In the future, when I earn money, you have to come over more often to help me with my business.”
After handing the clothes to Huang Ying, Xia Wan registered her information and told her that she could get gifts when she accumulated enough points.
Holding her clothes, Huang Ying walked home. For some reason, she seemed to be more confident after hearing Xia Wan’s words.
Seeing that Huang Ying had left, Xia Chen and Xia Feng came back to help with the stall. Under Xia Wan’s influence, they were no longer embarrassed to shout. They shouted with all their might, “We’re selling clothes of various styles. The most popular designs are all here, and while you shop, why not seek the medical services of a doctor!”
Xia Wan only happened to discover Huang Ying’s condition out of happenstance. However, Xia Chen thought it was a good gimmick to attract customers. As expected, with Xia Chen’s brazen publicity, more and more people turned up. The younger ones came for the clothes, while the older ones came for a pulse read.
An old lady stood in front of the stall. “Do you provide free treatment for those who buy clothes here?”
Xia Wan smiled and continued, “Yes, but if you want to get the medicine, there’ll be a charge. If you need me to provide follow-up treatment, I’ll charge for that too. But if you want to check your body for any problems, it’s free.”
The old lady stared at Xia Wan. “Girl, you don’t look very old. Can you really find out what’s wrong with us? Please, don’t mince your words.”
