Wang Dong snorted coldly, "Then I really thank you. If you have a choice, please don't give birth to me again!"

Qi Zhifang's tears flowed like water, and she said, "Fine, if you don't acknowledge me, that's fine. I don't need you to support me in my old age. Now let's talk about your sister. Wang Fang was more than eight months pregnant when that bastard beat her and caused her to miscarry."

"My baby was born at over eight months and could have survived, but she died in the womb. I can't swallow this! If you're a brother, go and get justice for her!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Dong's mind went blank. It was like a dung beetle crossing the border, determined to make the enemy wield foreign guns and swords, even if it meant dying as a dung beetle.

Qi Zhifang was furious at Wang Dong's cowardly appearance. "Are you going to do anything about it? Your sister has been beaten to a pulp!"

Wang Dong hardened his heart and said, "I told you I don't have that sister of hers. Didn't she just want to marry that little beast from the Zhao family and die without regrets? That would fulfill her wish. If she's going to die, she should die somewhere far away."

Qi Zhifang's eyes turned red with anger, "You...you..."

Wang Dong turned and went back into the house. Qi Zhifang was furious but didn't dare to make a scene. She could only go to find Qi Zhijun, but Qi Zhijun simply said "I'm busy."

Qi Zhifang had no choice but to go to the hospital to take care of Wang Fang after work. However, after four days, the hospital wouldn't let her stay any longer, and Wang Fang was still covered in injuries and had nowhere to go.

Helpless, she reluctantly went to Wang Dong and Wang Hong, hoping that Wang Fang could squeeze in with Wang Hong. "...Honghong, please have pity on your sister. Your grandmother can't take any more stress from the family situation."

Wang Hong was also in a dilemma. Although Wang Fang had scolded her, she was still her own sister. But it was also unrealistic to let her move in, as the house belonged to her sister-in-law, and her sister-in-law disapproved of those people the most and definitely wouldn't let them live there.

Wang Dong sighed and said, "Don't make things difficult for Honghong. I'm not doing well either. Qiuxiang is in charge at home, and she won't let you move in. Why make things difficult for yourself? I can lend you five yuan at most. You can rent a place in the neighborhood."

Qi Zhifang said anxiously, "You make it sound so easy. You think renting a place is enough? Does that mean food doesn't cost money?"

Wang Dong laughed in anger, "So you're planning to let her stay here to recuperate after childbirth? Don't even think about it! Since ancient times, no woman has ever recuperated at her parents' home! There's an old saying that the brother who does that will suffer bad luck! My uncle doesn't mind, but I do!"

Qi Zhifang's face turned deathly pale with anger. "Are you really that heartless?"

Wang Dong ignored her and shouted, "Qiu Xiang, Qiu Xiang, someone wants to bring Wang Fang to our house to recuperate after childbirth!..."

Li Qiuxiang came out in her slippers. "Who is it? Which unlucky thing is it? Come out and let me see..." She immediately saw Qi Zhifang, grabbed her clothes and tried to pull her out. Qi Zhifang shouted, "What are you doing? Let go!"

Li Qiuxiang dragged her out and shouted, "Come and see, neighbors! It's not that I'm bullying anyone. You be the judge. Who comes to their mother's or brother's house to have a miscarriage? Who are you trying to screw over?"

If you're really in trouble, or you've just met the wrong person, then we can make an exception and handle it. But I don't even want to talk about your daughter. She should find a place to settle this matter and die. She still has the nerve to go out. I admire her for having such a thick skin..." He gave a thumbs up as he spoke.

Qi Zhifang was so angry she felt dizzy. "You don't have to be so rude. People's fortunes change like a wheel, ten years east of the river, ten years west of the river..."

"Give me a break! Other people's luck is a wheel, but yours is stuck in the mud, unable to get out! You think you can turn things around? You're delusional!..." Just as Li Qiuxiang was getting into her tirade, and Qi Zhifang wished she could disappear into the ground, a man's voice rang out, "Who said she's stuck in the mud? She's actually turned her luck around..."

Qi Zhifang turned around and saw Xiao Hu, who looked much older. Tears streamed down her face as she wailed, "Why did you take so long to come back! Why did you take so long to come back!"

Xiao Hu strode over and said, "Sorry I'm late!"

Li Qiuxiang looked at this person with suspicion, but ultimately said nothing. She simply kept quiet, but her expression was one of utter disdain.

Xiao Hu looked at Li Qiuxiang coldly and said, "Young comrade, don't be so unreasonable. You should at least respect your elders!"

Li Qiuxiang sneered, "What kind of talk is that? Face is something you earn yourself. If you don't even care about yourself, why would you expect others to give it to you? What's wrong? Are you her new man?"

Xiao Hu's face darkened. "This lady, please show some respect when you speak!"

Li Qiuxiang curled her lip and said, "Forget it, if you don't respect me, it's better not to show your face!" She then turned and left. Why didn't she confront Xiao Hu? It wasn't because she was afraid; she just wanted Qi Zhifang to get married quickly. It was better to avoid trouble...
