Chapter 108 Miscarriage

The fact that Xie Zhizhi was the daughter of a high-ranking official was spread like wildfire by the people who came to watch the spectacle, without Wu Caifeng saying a word.

Zhou Lin's sister-in-law, Zhang Fenfen, naturally also knew about this.

Upon hearing that Xie Zhizhi was the child of a high-ranking official and had been abducted by the Xie family, Zhang Fenfen became so angry that her face contorted, and then she raised her hand to hit the child.

Her son, Zhou Bing, is a spoiled little devil.

He was hit by her for no reason, so he immediately fought back, crying loudly and fighting back.

Caught off guard, Zhang Fenfen was bumped by Zhou Bing and stumbled backward, hitting her stomach on the corner of the table before falling to the ground.

She was in so much pain that she was convulsing and sweating profusely.

She clutched her stomach and collapsed to the ground, looking like she was about to faint from the pain.

Zhou Bing showed no fear whatsoever, and even yelled at her, "You're a bad mother, I don't like you at all, I'd rather you die of love!" Then he ran out the door as fast as he could.

Zhang Fenfen lay on the ground alone, in too much pain to get up. She wanted to call for help, but because of the pain, she couldn't open her mouth very wide.

He just collapsed to the ground, groaning in pain.

Wu Caifeng wasn't nearby either; she had gone to the brigade headquarters to call Zhou Lin.

She wanted to ask about the Xie family and Xie Zhizhi's situation, since Xie Zhizhi was her daughter-in-law, and this was a family matter.

When she called the military unit, they told her, "Commander Zhou is not here. He went to Beijing with his wife, and we don't know when he will be back."

“Then when he comes back, have him call me back,” Wu Caifeng said, and hung up the phone.

Wu Caifeng hung up the phone and stood there for a long time. It wasn't until someone next to her spoke to her, "Aunt Wu, I heard that Zhou Lin's wife is the daughter of a high-ranking official. You're going to be very lucky in the future."

The other person said with envy, "Tell me, not only did Zhou Lin raise you to be so capable, but you also chose a daughter-in-law who is the daughter of a high-ranking leader who was left behind. Auntie, you are so lucky."

Wu Caifeng smiled in response, and then walked home. Along the way, many people greeted her, praising her for being so lucky.

Wu Caifeng smiled and said she didn't dare to say she wasn't blessed, for fear that her son and daughter-in-law would be unhappy if they knew, since her children weren't unfilial.

She didn't dare admit that she was lucky, for fear that people would criticize her behind her back for showing off.

Although she didn't show off, your life is too good, which makes her uncomfortable.

So Wu Caifeng just smiled.

As we were delayed, we passed by my eldest daughter-in-law's house and heard shouts coming from inside. It was my eldest daughter-in-law's voice, and her voice wasn't very pleasant. It seemed like something had happened.

Although Wu Caifeng was still angry because of Zhang Fenfen's words, she couldn't just stand by and watch someone get into trouble.

She walked toward Zhang Fenfen's house and saw Zhang Fenfen lying on the ground in the main room, her pants covered in blood.

Without asking any further questions, Wu Caifeng quickly found a few acquaintances to take Zhang Fenfen to the commune hospital, and also asked someone to notify Zhou Hai, who was working, to come home.

Upon arriving at the commune hospital, the doctor told Wu Caifeng, "You've miscarried!"

Wu Caifeng was somewhat dumbfounded.

Zhang Fenfen lay on the bed crying and cursing. She cried about her miserable life and cursed her mother-in-law, saying that it was all because her mother-in-law was biased and didn't care about anything that she lost her baby. She didn't mention what her son had done at all.

Wu Caifeng was also saddened by the loss of her child. No matter how much Zhang Fenfen scolded her, she did not retaliate, even though the matter had nothing to do with her.

But she thought that Zhang Fenfen was heartbroken after losing her child, so let her scold her if she wanted to!

Before Zhang Fenfen had finished her IV drip, Zhou Hai arrived from home. He saw Zhang Fenfen lying there, his face expressionless, and said nothing.

Zhang Fenfen started cursing at him, "I must have been blind to have chosen you. You're not only incompetent, but you've also caused your child and wife to suffer with you."

"Your whole family is a terrible family, I must have had the worst luck in eight lifetimes to be born into your household..."

She cursed without repeating a single word for half an hour until the saline drip was finished. Then Zhou Hai and Wu Caifeng, mother and son, pulled her home on a cart.

As people passed by on the road, Zhang Fenfen continued to curse and swear.

When she got home, Wu Caifeng cooked her a bowl of sweet egg soup. After she ate it and went to sleep, Wu Caifeng told Zhou Hai about Xie Zhizhi's situation.

Because of Zhang Fenfen's miscarriage, Zhou Hai didn't react much to the matter.

Wu Caifeng didn't say much, just told him that she would come to take care of Zhang Fenfen during her postpartum period, and then left their courtyard.

Back at the Xie family home, after Xie Lanlan learned why Tian Fang and the others had been arrested, she walked home wiping away tears, repeatedly saying to Xie Xie, "What will you do if your grandma and the others go in?"

"You can't expect me to support you, can you?"

"I'm getting married soon, and I'll be taking care of my grandson, so how can I take care of you?"

"We could have gotten that bitch Xie Zhizhi to mentor you, but look what's happened..."

"That damn bitch, she's got some good luck, she's even the boss's daughter. Will she get revenge on us?"

Xie Lanlan walked home in fear, thinking about the things her family had done in the past.

"No, I'll give you away," she said to Xie Xie when she got home, her heart pounding with fear.

Xie Xie stared at her with dark eyes that seemed to hold hatred. Xie Lanlan felt uncomfortable under his cold gaze and slapped him across the head. "Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Have I wronged you?"

Xie Xie didn't say anything, but simply pushed open the courtyard gate and went inside.

Xie Lanlan followed them into the courtyard, cursing and swearing.

Fortunately, Xie Hongchao and the other two were released after three days in prison because Tian Fang and the others had agreed on a story: the child was found.

After discovering that Wen Jinzhou looked like Xie Zhizhi, Tian Fang wrote to the Beijing Municipal Government. The government replied, telling her that if they ever investigated, she should say that she had picked up the child outside and took him home to raise him out of pity.

It happened so long ago, there's no way to find out.

Tian Fang and the others said they found the child, but at first those people didn't believe them. They interrogated them in various ways and even detained them for three days. But all Tian Fang and the others did was cry out that they were innocent and didn't change their statements. So, after three days, the child was released.

Once the news was confirmed here, Wen Changyu in Beijing also received the news.

Around noon, his bodyguard went to the hospital to report back to him: "We received a message from Jiangcheng. The Xie family said they found the child by the roadside when the woman surnamed Tian went back to her parents' home."

Upon hearing this news, Wen Changyu inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief.

He didn't even know what he was afraid of.

“Go to the courtyard house and tell them about this,” Wen Changyu said.

"yes!"

——

As soon as Xie Zhizhi arrived at the entrance of the cultural relics administration department, she saw a lean middle-aged man standing on the steps, wearing old-fashioned black-rimmed glasses.

She sized him up, and he sized her up too.

"Are you Director Liu?" Xie Zhizhi asked proactively.

The middle-aged man sized Xie Zhizhi up and down, then asked with a smile, "You're Xiao Xie?"

As he spoke, he adjusted his glasses and chuckled, "Old Zeng said on the phone that you looked very young, but I didn't believe him. How young could someone be so skilled that he admired you? I never expected this..."

Director Liu extended his hand. "Hello, I'm Liu Yong."
