She felt dizzy, her vision went black, and she felt as if someone had ripped out her heart.

Mu Jingsheng took her to the hospital and hurriedly explained to her that getting engaged to someone else was just a temporary measure, and he was completely unaware of it at the time. He said he would not marry anyone else and that he was already fighting against it. The reason he didn't tell her was because she was pregnant and he was afraid she would get agitated.

He knew she was knowledgeable and that she was a good girl, and he was afraid she would overthink things.

She believed what Mu Jingsheng said.

She would believe Mu Jingsheng unconditionally, no matter what his explanation was.

After her pregnancy was exposed, Mu Jingsheng stopped hiding it and confronted the old lady, protesting the engagement. He told her about her pregnancy and took her to have a state-of-the-art ultrasound to let her know that she was carrying a boy, the eldest grandson, hoping that the old lady would accept her.

But the old lady said:

“If I wanted a grandson, there were plenty of women of high status and position who could give birth to outstanding individuals. Why would I need a grandson born to a country bumpkin?”

"Besides tarnishing our family's reputation, what use is he/she anyway?"

The old lady still disagreed with their marriage.

Not only was the old lady unhappy with Mu Jingsheng's disobedience, but his fiancée was also unhappy with his actions, inciting her parents to unite and put pressure on Mu Jingsheng at every turn in the company.

Mu Jingsheng was overwhelmed with work and increasingly busy, so he visited her less and less often.

They tried to use this method to make Mu Jingsheng submit, abandon her, and obediently obey the wishes of his elders to marry his fiancée.

When his parents put pressure on Mu Jingsheng, his fiancée and his mother came to deal with him.

They come to her house every day, bringing people to shout at the door, telling the neighbors and everyone who passes by: she is a mistress, she is after Mu Jingsheng's money, she is pregnant and wants to rise to the top, she is a parasite that destroys other people's families, she is a shameless whore and a slut!

As soon as she goes out, people throw rotten eggs and rotten vegetable leaves at her.

Everyone has such a strong sense of morality, values ​​propriety, righteousness, integrity, and a sense of shame so much, that they utterly despise women like her who destroy other people's families.

Over time, she could no longer bear it.

Every day, she was subjected to vile curses and forced to endure the pangs of her conscience. Gradually, a voice and a hallucination appeared in her mind. Even at night, she could clearly hear someone cursing her indiscriminately.

Sometimes she would suddenly wake up from her sleep.

Sometimes she would see strange things.

She could no longer bear the moral condemnation; her fiancée cursed her in the newspapers, creating the greatest disgrace in the entire Huaicheng since the founding of the People's Republic of China.

One day, she went mad.

Mu Jingsheng's fiancée, that smartly dressed woman who seemed righteous, slandered her.

The woman clutched her self-inflicted cut arm in pain, blood seeping from between her fingers. She leaned against Mu Jingsheng's chest with a wronged expression and said to him, "She wanted to kill me. This woman you're keeping on the side wanted to kill me."

That day, she was slapped.

The slap landed on her face, but she seemed to feel no pain. Instead, the pain in her chest felt like a giant hand was gripping her heart tightly, making it hard for her to breathe. A bone-chilling cold almost overwhelmed her.

Later, Mu Jingsheng left with his fiancée.

The old lady looked at her smugly, and before leaving, spat out, "You lowlife, you really think my son has taken a liking to you? You don't even know your place!"

Mu Jingsheng did not go home that night.

She thought she must have completely gone mad that day.

After Mu Jingsheng left, she talked on and on in front of the empty house for a long time, and I can't remember what she was saying.

Unfortunately, she didn't know why Mu Jingsheng had acted so unusually and attacked her.

Only her body's reaction told her that the heavy burden she had long had to face—the protective wall forged by her will, always taut like a bowstring—had collapsed under his slap.

The wall collapsed, and so did the spirit and energy.

She finally couldn't hold on any longer.

...

She returned to her hometown in a daze.

When her father saw her, he was so excited that he cried and laughed at the same time. Her brother also cried, and her sister-in-law was furious.

Seeing her large, protruding belly, her father looked worried, but he still patted her shoulder and said, "Xia, if you want to have the baby, then have it. I won't stop you. I'm still young, I'll take care of the baby for you."

She seemed not to hear.

Holding a stick, he squatted on the ground, writing and drawing, muttering incomprehensible words.

Her father cried again.

I held her in my arms and wiped away my tears for a long time.

…

During her time at home, she occasionally had moments of lucidity, during which she gave all the jewelry she had brought back to her father.

Dad was very surprised.

But Dad didn't say anything or ask any more questions. He just said, "Save this for the baby in your belly. If it's a boy, use it to help him get married. If it's a girl, use it as her dowry."

After a pause, the father added, "I hope it's a boy, so he won't suffer like you..."

…

On the Lantern Festival, people release lanterns. She couldn't remember the exact date, but she remembered that her family lit many candles and made dumplings with wild vegetables and eggs. The taste was so familiar to her. While her family went out to see a movie, she secretly took a portion of dumplings to the back mountain.

Unfortunately, the person she was waiting for was no longer on the back mountain.

The mountain road was difficult to walk, and she suffered from abdominal pain. Without knowing why, she gave birth to her child at the place where she was waiting for someone.

The snowflakes are as big as goose feathers.

Afraid the child would get cold, she took off her cotton-padded coat, pulled the child into her arms, and fell into a deep sleep.

She thought she would take a nap first.
