Gu Sang changed out of her home clothes and didn't have time to put on makeup. She just put on a comfortable outfit and hurried downstairs to catch a taxi.
"System, start live stream."
*Ding!*
*Live stream room has been upgraded, you can now open up to eight split screens!*
Just as she got into the taxi, she heard the system's delayed notification.
In an instant, a huge transparent screen appeared before her eyes, evenly divided into eight small screens.
The tall buildings outside blended surreally with the screens.
This live stream room upgrade allowed Gu Sang to switch between modern and ancient settings at any time, as well as enlarge or shrink the screens to give viewers a more immersive experience.
Gu Sang adjusted the screen size to that of a television, no longer concerned with the live stream.
This time, two new split screens showed cities.
The ancient people who had never seen a live stream before were amazed by the sight of cars rushing past outside, letting out gasps of astonishment.
The towering buildings along the street, the smooth and level roads.
The things up ahead that turned red, green, and yellow...
Strangely dressed pedestrians, women strutting boldly down the street! Every scene assaulted the senses and beliefs of the ancients!
"Heavens! What are those things! Is it a miracle?"
"Are those where the immortals live? What kind of road is that, so flat and smooth, even smoother than the ground in our mansions!"
"......"
Each time a new split screen was opened, there were cries of surprise and questioning.
Gu Sang was used to it by now and no longer explained.
No matter how many times those ancient city dwellers watched the live stream, they were always in awe of the future's technology.
The ancients all goggled with wide eyes as Gu Sang got out of the taxi and headed straight for the hospital.
Chen Yun sat by the hospital bed, her foot bandaged, her face a little pale as she clutched the sheets apologetically and spoke to Gu Sang, "Gu Sang."
"I'm sorry, my boyfriend couldn't come with me for the surgery."
"I didn't want to bother you, but the doctor said my leg was badly injured and that I needed a minor surgery. Someone had to accompany me, so I had to......"
"We're friends, there's no need to be so polite." Gu Sang pulled over a stool and sat down beside Chen Yun.
Three o'clock in the afternoon.
Gu Sang accompanied Chen Yun for her surgery.
Not knowing how long Chen Yun's surgery would take, Gu Sang decided to take a stroll through the outpatient building.
Seeing Gu Sang at the hospital again, the ancient plague city's court physicians flashed faces eager to learn, staring at Gu Sang with yearning eyes.
The head physician, blushing, said, "Miss Gu, I have an unreasonable request. Could you take us to see the hospital again?"
"Sure."
Gu Sang agreed.
Last time, she had only shown them this one building. The hospital area was vast, with separate inpatient, emergency, and comprehensive buildings, among others.
Gu Sang took all the ancients to see each building in the hospital.
However, most of the departments or floors were not open to non-patients.
Even so, it was enough to make the ancients' jaws drop in shock.
The newly opened split screen ancients were baffled: "Why is the place for treating illnesses in the future so huge? Could there really be that many patients in a day?"
"Did you notice there were no medicinal ingredients there, only all sorts of glowing objects, and many men and women in white robes?"
"I saw someone take something there, what kind of divine tool was that, that could automatically dispense things?"
Gu Sang glanced at the eight city split screens.
The people of the capital, plague city, and a few Lingnan regions were no longer too surprised, as they were the longest-running viewers of the future live stream.
The four newly opened split screens, however, were goggling with wide eyes, constantly exclaiming in astonishment.
Gu Sang explained, "The people you see are doctors and nurses, that's their work uniform......"
"That's a self-service kiosk for picking up test results. After the diagnosis, you can pick up your test results anytime from there......"
Gu Sang headed toward the elevator, intending to take the ancients to observe the fourth floor.
Ding—
The elevator doors opened, and three people were inside.
A couple in their thirties.
The woman's eyes were rimmed with red, clearly having just cried.
Standing beside the couple was a woman in her fifties or sixties, with a shrewish face, slanted triangular eyes, and a flapping mouth that wouldn't stop nattering.
The woman's scolding voice was extremely unpleasant for Gu Sang to hear: "I don't know what sin my son committed to spend 188,000 yuan marrying a woman with a problematic womb!"
"You can't even have children, do you even count as a woman?"
"To marry you into the family, for your bride price, I had to drain my entire savings."
"Do you know how expensive IVF is? The whole process costs at least tens of thousands!"
"What kind of woman needs IVF to have a child, unless you've been promiscuous in the past!"
Seeing Gu Sang enter, the woman continued berating her daughter-in-law without pause.
Her mouth was full of complaints about the bride price and insults.
Meanwhile, the ancients in the live stream noticed the words "test tube" and were instantly flushed with excitement!
Test tube?
So a barren woman could have children by doing a "test tube" procedure?
Hiss—
What kind of immortal technique was this?!!
The wife closed her eyes, took a deep breath to suppress her anger, clearly on the verge of an outburst.
The husband looked at his mother's expression, then at his wife, and began appeasing both sides.
The woman disdainfully curled her lip, "We spent so much on her bride price, it's only right that I say a few words to her for being unable to have children."
"Other families' daughters-in-law are diligent and frugal, working while taking care of children and doing chores, look at the daughter-in-law you married!"
"She even wants you to share the housework! And now she wants to spend money on IVF, I'll be too embarrassed to take the child out once it's born."
After the elevator doors opened, Gu Sang hurried out without delay.
But unexpectedly, the three of them also got off on this floor and walked behind Gu Sang.
Gu Sang heard the woman's insults in their entirety. Although she wanted to rebuke her, she didn't want to meddle in other people's affairs anymore!
Let go of the urge to help, respect people's fates!
To be insulted like that without fighting back, the wife's own weakness and incompetence was to blame. Anyone who helped her would just end up covered in dirt!
"What are you looking at? What's there to look at!"
"I spent 188,000 yuan on this daughter-in-law, and I can't even say anything about her inability to have children?"
"What are you sulking about with your head down, what nonsense! Everyone else can have kids, why can't you? You even have to spend money on IVF, how embarrassing!"
Gu Sang shook his head and looked deeply at his wife, who was hanging her head.
He then looked at his husband, who pursed his lips and only dared to advise caution.
Gu Sang truly looked down on a man like this, who couldn't even protect his own wife, who couldn't take responsibility or make decisions, and who tried to please everyone on both sides!
However—
In that very instant!
"Swoosh!!" His wife could no longer hold back.
She abruptly raised her head and pushed the woman away two or three meters.
Ignoring her husband's changing expression, she clenched her fists tightly, her facial muscles trembling with rage, and blurted out a shocking secret!
With reddened eyes, his wife turned cold and scolded him on the spot: "Enough! I've had enough! If you want your son to divorce and remarry, then let him divorce!"
"All you ever talk about is the bride price, the bride price. Do you want 188,000 yuan from your entire family? What about the 300,000 yuan dowry car I gave you, which you never mention!"
"Shut up, you old hag! I've had enough!"
"Also, let me tell you! The one who can't conceive isn't me, it's your son!"
