If you were to ask who is suffering the most right now, Meng Laijun would be one, Zhu Meihong would be one, and the other would be Xu Nianzu, the little embryo.

Knowing he was going to meet his adoptive father, he was prepared.

The result was too tragic; he had nowhere to escape. He struggled with all his might to keep a breath, but his fragile umbilical cord was still broken.

If he hadn't known that he would become someone important in the future, he would have thought he wouldn't survive.

After all that commotion, the dying Xu Nianzu simply lay there, waiting for his adoptive father and biological mother's wedding.

The camera then turns to the Li family, where Xie Ming, mimicking Chen Guizhi, goes to deliver the news with a pale face.

The elders in the Li family who were in charge of dividing the family property all thought there had been a murder, and they cursed the educated youth for being unruly.

Now that's great, there's no need to divide up the family. A dozen or so people rushed together towards the educated youth settlement.

Of course, Li Guowei's good wife was among them; she had a penchant for gossiping and always wanted to join in the fun.

The Li family didn't want her to go either, but they said that since they had separated their households, she shouldn't meddle in other people's affairs.

Aunt Jin was almost driven mad by her, and what was even more infuriating was that her good son was looking on with a look of agreement.

She was heartbroken; her son was now being raised by someone else's family.

By the time Li Liangcai and his group arrived at the educated youth settlement, the situation inside had already been clarified.

Three people were having illicit sexual relations, including a pregnant woman.

"Alright, let's not talk about anything else for now, let's get him to the hospital first." Seeing that none of the people around him were doing anything, Li Liangcai immediately shouted.

Of course, such a big thing has to be reported!

To avoid being accused of being done by villagers, which would tarnish the villagers' reputation and make it difficult for their children to get married.

The embryo in Li Guowei's wife's belly sensed the familiar radio waves and quickly called out to her husband.

Xu Nianzu felt his wife calling him and he tried to open his eyes, but the pain all over his body prevented him from moving.

What enveloped him was no longer the comfortable water temperature, but the icy, biting wind.

While he was being carried, he had a vague idea that the direction the water was flowing was somewhere he wouldn't be able to go for another eight months.

He desperately wanted to tell his wife to save him, but he couldn't utter a single sound.

Later, he felt himself fall into the mud and tried to struggle, but he couldn't move. He felt like he was about to run out of breath, but he just couldn't breathe.

Li Guowei's wife had no idea what her future son-in-law had gone through; they had never encountered anything like it in their area in eight hundred years.

Stealing people, and stealing both men and women together—this is absolutely outrageous.

She shook off her fatigue and jumped around in the crowd, putting her gossip skills to the extreme. Her little face was flushed with excitement, making her look unusually abnormal.

Perhaps she was too excited and wanted to take a few more glances at the "female hooligan" being carried out, Li Guowei's wife was accidentally bumped into, but fortunately her good husband caught her in time.

Xu Nianzu, who had been clinging to life, thought he still had a chance to survive, but an unknown, immense force swept over him and crushed him flat. His last words were, "What did I step on?"

At the same time, Li Guowei's embryonic daughter suddenly lost that familiar electrical signal and inexplicably began to panic.

The two of them only got in touch today, and she could feel that mysterious connection.

But now it seems like she's completely lost contact. Does that mean she's lost her future support?

She felt the air around her thinning, and her entire embryo was shrinking.

After guessing that her husband might have had some bad experience, the embryonic daughter heard her mother say, "Honey, did I step on that woman's...?"

After Li Guowei's wife finished speaking, she lifted her foot to take a look!

"Ugh!" The close-up visual impact immediately made her vomit uncontrollably, and the slippery feeling under her feet made her hair stand on end. The experience before her eyes caused a strong contraction in her lower abdomen, and waves of pain churned inside her.

At this moment, Li Guowei's wife remembered that she hadn't slept well since she learned that Xie Ming had moved into the Li family yesterday. In the morning, she had spent half a day at home discussing countermeasures with her parents before rushing to Lingxia Village. After that, she had a falling out with the Li family and wanted to separate the family property. To be honest, she hadn't had a moment's rest.

Now I've come to join the fun and seen something so exciting.

As the pain in her lower abdomen worsened, she had a bad feeling—was she going to…?

Thinking of her promising son, she felt a rush of dizziness and fainted.

Li Guowei panicked and quickly grabbed his wife, following the two groups of people to town.

News of the affair came two weeks later: the nature of Xu Rongqing, Meng Laijun, and Zhu Meihong's affair had been confirmed.

After the investigation was completed, Xu Rongqing was convicted of "indecent behavior" and sentenced to death by firing squad. Meng Laijun and Zhu Meihong were convicted of having illicit relationships, which was equivalent to "indecent behavior." However, since both of them were passive offenders, they were sentenced to 15 years of reform through labor at the farm.

Xu Rongqing initially tried to drag Xie Ming into the mess, claiming that he had been attacked and drugged by Xie Ming, which led him to commit the wrongdoing with Zhu Meihong and Meng Laijun.

But in the end, Wang Weiguo came out to testify, and Xie Ming met Zhu Meihong after he came out with the letter.

Zhu Meihong asked him to help fix the door, but Xie Ming didn't know how, so he asked Xie Ming, who had just returned from the restroom, to come with him.

He took his tools from inside the house and went over. The two of them fixed it behind the door and then left together.

Xie Ming went to the restroom, and while he waited outside the door for the time it takes to urinate, the two of them returned to the symposium one after the other.

The police also went to the former educated youth settlement to investigate and found that the toilet was enclosed in the front and back, and it was also some distance from where Xu Rongqing was attacked, so Xie Ming had no opportunity to commit the crime.

Unless Wang Weiguo helped Xie Ming commit perjury, there were indeed several educated youths who encountered the two outside the toilet that day, which overturned all other possibilities and left only the possibility that Xu Rongqing was lying.
