Lu's mother immediately looked at him: "You must have been the one who told him."

Li Fang quickly covered his mouth: "I haven't told anyone outside."

Just then, Granny Lin ran in from outside, pointed at Li Fang, and said, "I recognize your voice! You're the one who said my cousin had three limps. Hehe, even though I didn't see your face, I've always remembered your voice. Aren't I amazing?"

Li Fang was speechless. It turned out that Granny Lin had leaked the information.

Li Fang explained to Lu's mother, "Auntie, my brother and I went to the toilet that day, and we said a few words in the toilet. I didn't expect this old lady to hear us."

After he finished speaking, fearing he would be beaten, he quickly covered his head and ran away.

Inside the house

After Lin Qingyan finished acupuncture on Lu Zhengting, she got off the kang (a heated brick bed) and opened the door, only to see several pairs of eyes staring curiously at her.

Mother Lu came over: "Lin Zhiqing, you've worked hard. What did Zhengting say?"

"He said he'd wait until his leg was healed before getting other treatments."

"Oh, okay."

Lin Qingyan originally wanted to ask Lu's mother about Lu Zhengting's boyfriend, but since she was only a doctor, she ultimately didn't get the information. After saying goodbye to everyone there, she called her grandmother and left.

Educated Youth Settlement

As soon as Tong Jiaojiao entered the restroom, she felt a churning in her stomach. She leaned against the wall and vomited twice, but nothing came out.

She thought about it and realized that this wasn't the first time. For the past two days, she had been feeling nauseous and wanted to vomit, and she also felt weak and didn't want to eat.

She touched her forehead; it was cool, so she didn't have a fever.

What exactly happened?

"Ugh~"

She suddenly remembered that when her sister was pregnant, she would often vomit, not want to eat, and like to sleep.

Could it be that I'm pregnant like my sister?

At this moment, she was not flustered at all, but rather secretly pleased.

She told Lin Guanghui that she was pregnant and that the child was his, so that Lin Guanghui would have to marry her.

She insisted on telling Lin Guanghui about this first.

She quickly ran to the outside of the male educated youth dormitory and called out to Lin Guanghui twice: "Comrade Lin Guanghui, Comrade Lin Guanghui."

Wang Qiang came out and told her, "Lin Zhiqing has gone out and is not in the dormitory."

"oh."

Tong Jiaojiao wanted to go out and look for Lin Guanghui. She had just stepped out of the educated youth settlement when she saw Lin Guanghui return. She immediately ran to Lin Guanghui, looked around to make sure no one was there, and said to Lin Guanghui, "Guanghui, I have something important to tell you."

"What's up?"

Tong Jiaojiao pointed to the open field not far away: "If we talk here, people might hear us. Let's go somewhere else to talk."

She walked ahead, with Lin Guanghui following behind. They walked for almost a hundred meters before Tong Jiaojiao stopped.

Then she turned to Lin Guanghui and said, "Guanghui, I'm pregnant. The child is yours. Let's get married."

"Wh-what?" Lin Guanghui almost collapsed in shock upon hearing this. "Jiaojiao, she's been perfectly fine all along. How could she suddenly be pregnant?"

Tong Jiaojiao is pregnant, so he has to marry her, otherwise he's being a scoundrel to her.

What will happen to him and Chen Lu then?

After all, he never thought about marrying Tong Jiaojiao; the person he liked had always been Chen Lu, and the person he wanted to marry was Chen Lu.

Although Chen Wenbin has been pursuing Chen Lu, Chen Lu has never agreed to be with him, so he still has a chance.

After experiencing sexual intercourse with Tong Jiaojiao, he found pleasure in it, but due to a lack of understanding of sexual matters, he overlooked the possibility that Tong Jiaojiao might become pregnant.

Seeing that he didn't reply for a long time, Tong Jiaojiao urged, "Guanghui, you don't need to think about it anymore. You have no other choice. You have to marry me. What are you still hesitating about? We've been together for so long. Don't you like me?"

"Jiaojiao, I, I."

"You...you still haven't fallen for me? But what am I going to do about being pregnant with your child?"

She did initially intend to marry Lin Guanghui because she was pregnant, but she actually hoped to use her body to seduce Lin Guanghui and win his heart.

However, to everyone's surprise, Lin Guanghui still hasn't fallen for her.

Having lived in the educated youth settlement for so long, she naturally knew that Lin Guanghui's affections had always been for Chen Lu, but Chen Lu didn't seem to reciprocate his feelings, and he still harbored feelings for her.

Because of Lin Guanghui, she and Chen Lu often had conflicts. Every time Lin Guanghui saw this, he would side with Chen Lu, which made her even more determined to take Lin Guanghui away and prevent him from being with Chen Lu.

Lin Guanghui thought about it for a while and finally understood.

Tong Jiaojiao likes him, or maybe she's lying to him, trying to marry him under the pretense of being pregnant.

"Jiaojiao, are you really pregnant? Or could you have made a mistake?"

In fact, Tong Jiaojiao herself wasn't 100% sure she was pregnant. "I, I can't be wrong."

"Did you see a doctor? Did you go to the hospital for a checkup?"

"Are you stupid? Do you think I'd dare go to the hospital to see a doctor? If the doctor finds out I'm pregnant out of wedlock, I'm finished! And you're finished too?"

Lin Guanghui pondered for a moment. If this was indeed Tong Jiaojiao's trick, once he married her, he would be completely separated from Chen Lu, and he probably wouldn't even have a chance to regret it later.

No, she absolutely cannot marry Tong Jiaojiao; she cannot let Tong Jiaojiao's scheme succeed.

"Jiaojiao, you haven't even made up your mind yet, and you want me to marry you? Do you think I'm that stupid? We agreed before that I wouldn't marry you, and you said you were doing it willingly and wouldn't force me to marry you."

When Tong Jiaojiao saw that her tricks weren't working, she resorted to something drastic: "Lin Guanghui, if you don't marry me, I'll tell the brigade leader that you're a pervert."

"Go ahead and report me. You have no evidence to prove what I did to you. If the captain finds out, he'll punish you for having illicit relationships. Do you think you'll get away with it?"

Just then, Tong Jiaojiao suddenly felt a churning in her stomach and, leaning against a nearby tree, began to vomit violently.

"Ugh~ Ugh~"

But she only vomited some sour water. Lin Guanghui told her to vomit violently, and it didn't seem like she was faking it. After all, he had heard about women getting pregnant. Could it be that Tong Jiaojiao was really pregnant?

After vomiting, Tong Jiaojiao wiped her mouth and looked at Lin Guanghui: "Guanghui, do you believe me now?"

Lin Guanghui panicked for a moment. Was he really going to marry Tong Jiaojiao?

However, upon further reflection, he dismissed the idea.

No, marriage is a major life event. He doesn't like Tong Jiaojiao, and he can't marry her just because she's pregnant with his child.

"Jiaojiao, if you get pregnant, you can have an abortion. We're really not suited for marriage."

Tong Jiaojiao seemed surprised that Lin Guanghui would say such a thing, "Guanghui, don't you want to take responsibility? He's your child!"

Lin Guanghui was very disdainful, regarding the child as an illegitimate child that should not have been born.

"Jiaojiao, he shouldn't have been born in the first place. Wouldn't it be better to abort him? He won't be a burden to us."
