Luo Tianba's injury made the entire Huo family much more subdued.

No one dared to cause trouble for Song Yinhua anymore.

Huo Jianguo knew very well that only by making them feel bad would they dare not bully you and your family.

Song Yinhua persuaded him to join the army, saying she would take good care of his mother at home.

Huo Jianguo was never at ease with them.

Song Yinhua kept trying to persuade him and refused to give up on changing his mindset. Other villagers also tried to persuade him, and in the end, Huo Jianguo gave in.

During this time, Xie Daguang held his wedding, but did not invite Huo Jianguo.

Song Yinhua was naturally unaware of Xie Daguang's marriage.

But on the night of the wedding, Song Baogen came to Huojia Village to find Song Yinhua.

"Big sister, Cai Xing has hanged herself!"

-

At the health center, Cai Xing had been rescued in time.

When her family asked her why she did something so foolish, she wouldn't say; she just lay in her hospital bed silently shedding tears.

When Song Yinhua and Song Baogen arrived at the health center, they overheard the doctor talking to Song Erzhuang and Qiao Guilan.

"Fortunately, they were brought in in time. Both the adults and the child are fine. They will be observed at the health center for a week, and if everything is alright, they can be discharged and go home."

"What adults and children? Doctor, what are you talking about?" Song Erzhuang was completely confused.

"Didn't you know your daughter was pregnant?"

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Song Erzhuang roared anxiously, "My daughter isn't even married yet, how could she be pregnant?"

Qiao Guilan also explained to the doctor that her daughter was still a virgin and had never even dated anyone, so how could she be pregnant?

"Is there a mistake?" Qiao Guilan asked.

Seeing the attitude of Song Erzhuang and Qiao Guilan, the doctor at the health center seemed to have guessed something.

"Calm down, your daughter is indeed pregnant, and the fetus is developing well. Why don't you go and ask your daughter again?"

Song Erzhuang turned and rushed into Song Caixing's ward. "Caixing, the doctor said you're pregnant. Tell Dad this isn't true. You didn't mess around with that wild boy outside!"

Song Caixing, who was silently shedding tears, was stunned when she heard that she was pregnant, and then she remembered that she had not had her period this month.

My sister-in-law's period was a few days late, and when she went to the health center for a checkup, she found out she was pregnant.

"Caixing, speak up. Dad is asking you, you haven't been messing around with other people, you're not pregnant, are you?" No matter how Song Erzhuang asked, Song Caixing wouldn't speak, she just silently shed tears.

Qiao Guilan pulled Song Erzhuang away, "Keep your voice down, there are so many people in the ward!"

Song Caixing was in a communal ward. When the other patients and their families heard Song Erzhuang's questioning, they all looked over.

Qiao Guilan walked to the bedside and asked Song Caixing, "Little Si'er, tell Mom, you haven't been dating anyone behind our backs, have you? The doctor at the health center must have made a mistake!"

Song Caixing remained silent.

"You child, you're driving me crazy! Say something!" Qiao Guilan was also anxious. "Why are you so upset? What could be the reason?"

Li Wenxiu, who had been staying with Song Caixing in the hospital room, asked, "Were you bullied, found out you were pregnant, and couldn't bear it, so you tried to commit suicide?"

Song Baogen clenched his fist. "Caixing, tell your second brother, who bullied you? Your second brother will settle the score for you!"

No matter how her family asked, Song Caixing remained silent, just silently shedding tears.

Song Yinhua vaguely guessed something, "Is it Xie Daguang?"

Upon hearing Xie Daguang's name, Song Caixing grabbed the blanket, covered her face, and began to sob.

"What do you mean, Xie Daguang?" Qiao Guilan asked.

Li Wenxiu understood, "The one who got Da Caixing pregnant is this Xie Daguang!"

Qiao Guilan yanked Song Caixing out of the covers. "Caixing, tell Mom the truth, is the baby in your belly Xie Daguang's?"

"Waaah..." Song Caixing burst into tears, which was tantamount to admitting it.

"Is that Xie Daguang the one who used the anesthetic needles on the dogs to inject us?" Qiao Guilan asked excitedly, grabbing Song Caixing.

"Waaaaah..." Song Caixing burst into tears.

"You brat..." Qiao Guilan raised her hand to hit Song Caixing, but was pulled away by Song Yinhua and Song Baogen.

Song Baogen said, "Mom, Caixing must have been bullied. Please don't hit her anymore."

"Caixing, Mom is asking you, were you forced by Xie Daguang?" Qiao Guilan grabbed Song Caixing and pressed her for an answer.

Song Yinhua had already guessed that Song Caixing was probably not forced.

When she first discovered that Cai Xing and Xie Daguang were close, she told her to stay away from Xie Daguang. Cai Xing agreed on the surface, but in private she still stayed with Xie Daguang.

Song Caixing just cried.

Song Baogen turned to leave, shouting, "How dare you bully my sister! I'm going to settle the score with Xie Daguang right now!"

"Baogen!" Song Yinhua called out to her younger brother, then turned to Song Caixing and asked, "Caixing, tell me the truth, were you forced by Xie Daguang or did you do it willingly?"

Qiao Guilan retorted angrily, "Yinhua, what nonsense are you talking about? Caixing was definitely forced."

Song Erzhuang was also dissatisfied with Song Yinhua, "Your own sister was bullied, and you say such things? That Xie Daguang is obviously not a decent person. How could Caixing fall for that kind of scoundrel?"

Song Yinhua asked Song Caixing, "Caixing, say something! If you were forced by Xie Daguang, we'll go together to get an explanation for you."

Song Caixing dared not speak, she could only cry.

In the eyes of her parents and second brother, this was a case of being bullied.

Cai Xing was timid and dared not utter a sound when bullied.

"I'm going to settle accounts with Xie Daguang!" Song Baogen opened the ward door and went out.

Song Caixing never dared to tell the truth.

-

The Xie family is holding a wedding.

We had about ten tables at noon, and six more in the evening.

In this village, those who can afford such a display are all from well-off families.

When the villagers saw this family making a big fuss about getting married, especially since the bride was from the county town and had a city household registration, they wentssip about it.

"Jin Feng and her mother are so lucky! They're both wicked and lucky!"

"When the old lady was young, she forced her first wife to jump into the river, resulting in the deaths of both mother and child. Jin Feng, like the old lady, set her sights on the Xie family, the richest family in the village, when she was a teenager. She was also married. Fearing that the villagers would say she had forced her first wife to her death, she forced her first wife to agree to sleep with the three of them until her first wife died of illness. Then she became the Xie family's legal wife. Her son got married to a girl with a city household registration. With such a grand occasion, no family in the village could compare to hers."

"Her son is a good-for-nothing. He's a real scoundrel. He even had an affair with the woman who sells pork in Shitou Village. They got caught, got into a fight, and he was locked up for several days. How could someone like that manage to marry a girl with a city household registration!"

"Xie Erliuzi has been to the palace several times. No matter how immoral he is, his family is rich. He can marry any kind of woman he wants!"

"It's truly unfair! This old woman drove her first wife to her death along with her unborn child, killed her adopted son, drove her adopted son's wife insane, and even her daughter followed her mother's example, marrying a married man. This drove the first wife to her death from depression, and the daughter's son, who is a bad influence, is able to marry a woman with a city household registration. What a world..."

"The old lady is so long-lived. It's true what they say, good people don't get rewarded, while wicked people live a thousand years!"

The villagers gossiped among themselves, but outwardly offered various congratulations to the Xie family.

Laughter and playful banter could be heard coming from the bridal chamber.
