Liu Ping, 21, surprised her husband surnamed Jin and many others when she suddenly said "No", in order to prevent her husband from leaving the house to gamble, in Wangcheng county, Hunan province.

Liu, who was supposedly born unable to speak, was sent to Hunan provincial people's hospital for further examination and treatment.

Doctors said Liu actually had the capacity to speak and listen and with training she would be able to speak further.
