There’s a saying, birds of a feather flock together, and people of a kind gather. While often not a compliment when describing people, the saying is indeed true.
Different circles are formed due to differences in personal thoughts, assets, education, as well as personal circumstances and hardships.
Those with shared interests form a circle, and those with shared wickedness can also form a circle. Pregnant mothers have their own circles, and those experiencing infertility naturally have theirs too. It’s normal for them to communicate, vent frustrations, and share remedies.
Although most infertility cases are due to physical reasons, and discussions often revolve around hospitals, some people, after multiple unsuccessful treatments, still place their hopes in praying to gods, seeking blessings, and relying on metaphysics.
Many people dare to take medication with unknown effects.
What’s more, buying a blessing that doesn’t harm the body is even more feasible.
Those who were further away from Zhou Chunli, or less intimately acquainted with her, might have harbored some doubts or even suspected her of being a scammer. However, those who knew her in real life, or were close to her, were more inclined to trust her.
Otherwise, why do pyramid schemes always target relatives and friends? It’s precisely because people naturally place more trust in their family and friends, believing they wouldn’t deceive them.
Fortunately, Ding Yun was not a scammer.
Therefore, she naturally lived up to their trust.
After more than a month, all the people who had purchased blessings from Ding Yun’s shop found themselves pregnant one after another. One case could be attributed to coincidence or luck. But when so many succeeded in conceiving, no one saw it as a mere coincidence anymore. Everyone felt that the shop owner was amazing!
The shop owner was undoubtedly a master of metaphysics.
Perhaps they could even be worshipped as the Goddess of Childbirth.
Then, of course, the news spread.
And the number of new buyers continued to increase.
It presented a diffusion pattern, expanding from individual points to lines, and then from lines to surfaces. Ding Yun’s online shop’s monthly sales impressively soared to double digits, approaching three digits.
It was truly cause for celebration.
...
Just as Ding Yun’s thriving metaphysical business of "countless descendants, always a blessing" was in full swing, someone from her former social circle suddenly dropped a bombshell: Zhao Pu’s latest big news.
He was divorced. Da Feng Novel Network.
It was his wife, He Yao, who initiated the divorce and directly filed a lawsuit, taking half of his assets.
The reason was his infidelity.
Faced with such explosive news, Ding Yun naturally and enthusiastically began to inquire about the situation from various angles, and soon pieced together the overall picture of the matter.
If one were to be precise, this incident was related to Ding Yun. It couldn't be said to be entirely her fault, but it was definitely inseparable from her.
How to describe it?
This matter began with He Yao's pregnancy.
Childbirth is undoubtedly a painful and dangerous endeavor for women. It’s like this for the first or second child, let alone carrying three or four at once, and then getting pregnant again with multiples shortly after the confinement period.
These circumstances directly caused He Yao's body to deform.
She developed issues like hair loss and melasma.
Her abdomen became unimaginably loose, not to mention the various dreadful stretch marks.
What’s the saying?
Men at twenty-eight like eighteen-year-old girls, and at thirty-eight or seventy-eight, they still like eighteen-year-old girls. Doesn’t the saying "a pear blossom pressing upon a crabapple" describe this situation? When He Yao was still a campus belle, Zhao Pu naturally adored her. However, after giving birth to two children, He Yao was clearly no longer the campus belle.
Let alone wearing crop tops she used to wear frequently,
She didn’t even dare to wear off-the-shoulder tops.
The damage to her body from giving birth to these two children, especially to her appearance and skin, was too great. It was so severe that she couldn’t bear to look at her own body.
Therefore, Zhao Pu naturally began to look down on his wife. And because he didn’t lack money, he started to cheat and indulge in extramarital affairs.
Initially, due to the fact that their family had over twenty children to care for, everyone in the household was extremely busy.
They barely had enough time to sleep, let alone think about other things or observe others. However, children eventually grow up and can be sent to kindergarten. Coupled with the fact that women are quite sensitive to others' emotions, He Yao, who was slightly less occupied, soon noticed her husband’s distance and perfunctory attitude towards her.
At times, he even exuded a subtle hint of disgust.
Upon discovering this situation, He Yao, in addition to her sadness, began to suspect Zhao Pu. This was followed by a secret investigation, the collection of evidence, and then a lawsuit for divorce.
That’s right, He Yao was quite decisive in this regard. Not only did she sue for divorce, but she also didn’t want any of the children.
The expenses of raising so many children.
She didn’t want to think about it, nor did she want to bear it.
The final outcome was that He Yao did indeed get divorced successfully. However, she didn't receive much in assets because the money Zhao Pu had won from the lottery had been spent over the years. After the final accounting, even including various assets, He Yao could only claim about two million yuan, and she also had to share the burden of child support.
Even if the individual child support payments were not expensive,
The eight children combined would still be quite substantial.
Assuming a monthly child support of one thousand yuan per child, the assets she received would likely be depleted after paying for the child support until they came of age, leaving little behind.
Of course, Zhao Pu fared even worse.
Although he didn't leave empty-handed due to the children, the assets he received were also very meager. Not to mention that he not only had to support his own eight children but also had to help out with the seven children his parents had given birth to.
And it is said that after his divorce, he surprisingly continued to place his hopes on buying lottery tickets, and even escalated it.
He desperately hoped to win again.
The family is now in complete disarray!
They argue and fight every day, on the verge of physical altercations.
Furthermore, his health seems to have deteriorated. The hospital cannot pinpoint the exact issue, only stating that his bodily functions are somewhat disordered and his immune system has problems. He won’t die anytime soon, but he certainly won’t live comfortably.
After understanding this information,
Ding Yun could clearly feel the last trace of resentment from the original body completely dissipate. So, she immediately decided to stop bothering Zhao Pu and his family anymore, considering this matter settled. With this thought in mind, Ding Yun even withdrew from the relevant group chats, intending to have no further contact or concern about their family’s affairs in the future.
Focusing on herself, she would fulfill the original body's other wishes.
That is, to live her own life well.
And to eventually take care of her parents.
However, what Ding Yun did not know was that the news of her selling blessings for "countless descendants, always a blessing" online, and its remarkable effectiveness, had not only gradually spread among infertile couples but had also reached the relevant national departments and attracted their attention.
