Chapter 682 Welcoming A New Family Member
- The two individuals approaching were Eli Chester and Tang Siying.
- Since their marriage, the couple had not been able to conceive a child. After undergoing medical examinations, it was discovered that Tang Siying had a fertility issue, causing her great distress. Sang Shu, a devout Buddhist with traditional beliefs, held the view that a woman's primary duty was to bear children. She believed that no matter how successful Tang Siying was in her career, it would all be in vain without offspring. Tang Siying, who was focused on her career, clashed with Sang Shu, who criticized her sharply. Sang Shu was particularly resentful because the problem lay with Tang Siying, not Eli Chester. This fueled Sang Shu's reluctance to accept the situation, feeling that while her own son was capable of producing heirs, Tang Siying was like a hen unable to lay eggs, jeopardizing the continuation of the Chester family line.
- In the strained relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, Eli Chester did not support Tang Siying, leading her to feel increasingly isolated. However, aside from Eli Chester, she could not find anyone in Wimbourn who shared Eli's resigned attitude towards fate. Consequently, she was determined not to divorce, as even if she remarried, she believed she would still be unable to have children, which was considered a grave failing for a woman and could result in her being cast out of the household.
