"Congratulations! Your daughter is pregnant, almost three months along. The fetus is developing well. You should prepare some eggs!" The doctor from the health center said to Tang Su'e with a smile.
Tang Su'e, however, could not be happy.
Qiu Xue is almost three months pregnant. She calculated the time and figured she conceived on the night of Er Zhuang's son's wedding.
Old Tang paid for Song Qiuxue to stay in the best single room at the health center.
"Qiusue, are you thirsty? Your great-uncle made you some sugar water, have some."
"Qiuxue, are you hungry? There are snacks and fruit here, eat something if you're hungry."
"Qiuxue, don't worry, it must be that Zhou Qiaoyun put too much MSG in the food at noon that's why you're gagging. I'll tell her about it later!"
Old Tang kept babbling on and on, expressing all sorts of concern, which only made Song Qiuxue more irritated. She found her uncle too noisy and incessant.
She knew she was pregnant.
Both her great-uncle and godmother called to invite her to celebrate the Chinese New Year. She didn't dare to have an abortion in the provincial capital, fearing that her classmates and acquaintances would find out. So she took this opportunity to come to her great-uncle's house to discuss it with her godmother, Tang Su'e.
She had planned to discuss this matter after the New Year, but unexpectedly, she vomited during the family reunion dinner.
Tang Su'e pushed open the door to the ward and came in.
"How is it?" Old Tang asked. "Is it because Zhou Qiaoyun put too much MSG in the food, and Qiuxue has a bad stomach, that's why she's gagging?"
Tang Su'e looked at Song Qiuxue and said to her father, "Qiuxue is pregnant. The doctor said she's almost three months along. She probably conceived on the night of Song Baogen's wedding."
Old Tang's knees buckled, and he almost fell.
He quickly grabbed the bedside table, "There must be a mistake, how could it be such a coincidence? It only happened once..."
"Dafei hired eight people that night." Tang Su'e said this with a serious expression, but she felt a secret sense of satisfaction.
If Zhou Qiaoyun knew that her son had hired eight people to bully her daughter, resulting in her daughter getting pregnant, would she be furious?
"Song Yinhua, you've ruined Qiuxue! I'll never forgive you!" Old Man Tang gritted his teeth in anger. "Song Erzhuang, I'll never let your family get away with this!"
Old Tang was so angry that he cursed Song Erzhuang's family for ruining his granddaughter.
"Uncle, godmother, please help me schedule an abortion. I can't keep this child." Song Qiuxue's goal was clear: she came back to get rid of the child. "I'm an unmarried girl. If I have a child to carry on, I'll never have a good life."
"Qiuxue, with your great-uncle and godmother here, nothing will happen to you. Have your godmother schedule the surgery now." Old Man Tang told Tang Su'e to go talk to the doctor about the surgery immediately.
"Wait, godmother!" Song Qiuxue called out to Tang Su'e. "Uncle, godmother, I can't have an abortion at the town's health center. For the sake of confidentiality and safety, I have to go to the county hospital."
Without a second thought, Old Man Tang agreed immediately.
“We can’t go to the county town either!” Tang Su’e said. “The villages in the town all intermarry, and the medical conditions at the town’s health center are not good. Many serious illnesses have to be treated at the county hospital. If Qiu Xue goes to the county hospital for surgery, she might run into someone she knows. It’s better to go back to the provincial capital for surgery. Cai Xing is also in the provincial capital and can take care of you.”
“I have to take care of Cai Xing, how could she take care of me!” Song Qiuxue said with a hint of disgust when she mentioned Song Cai Xing. “When we were in the provincial capital, I found out I was pregnant. I have a lot of classmates and friends there, many of whom have powerful families. I can’t have the surgery there. If my acquaintances see me and tell my boyfriend, he will definitely break up with me.”
"Are you dating someone?" Tang Su'e immediately felt that it wouldn't be a problem for her daughter to marry a rich man in the provincial capital after hearing Song Qiuxue mention that she had many classmates and friends and that her family had connections.
Song Qiuxue nodded, "His family runs a business in the provincial capital, and many of his relatives have connections. We have a very good relationship, and he even wants to take me to his home to meet his parents. If I hadn't found out I was pregnant, I would have gone home with him for the Chinese New Year this year."
At this moment, Tang Su'e came up with an idea.
Find a shady clinic, spend some money to hire a skilled doctor from the county to perform an abortion on Song Qiuxue at the shady clinic, so that you don't have to worry about being seen by acquaintances.
Song Hanwen's factory opened at the end of the year, making him a big boss that everyone in the village envied.
Tang Su'e went to Songzhuang Village and, believing that Song Hanwen, who owned a factory, had extensive connections, asked him to find an unlicensed clinic to invite a doctor from the county hospital to perform surgery on Song Qiuxue.
She repeatedly told them not to tell Song Erzhuang and his wife about this.
Three days later, a doctor from the county hospital arrived at a remote, unlicensed clinic in town on Song Hanwen's motorcycle.
Zhou Qiaoyun was washing clothes in the yard, watching Tang Su'e bustling about, sometimes carrying luggage, sometimes going inside to get money, and sometimes explaining things to the younger generation.
Tang Su'e whispered to her daughter Wang Yunyun, "You can't let your seventh aunt know about this. She and Qiu Xue don't get along. If she finds out that Qiu Xue had an abortion, she'll definitely spread the word."
"Then tell Aunt Qi that Sister Qiuxue is her biological sister..."
"No way!" Tang Su'e interrupted immediately. "Yunyun, you're still a child, there are many things you don't understand. No matter how close your godmother is, she can't compare to your biological mother. If Qiuxue and your seventh aunt find out about their relationship, Qiuxue will be influenced by your seventh aunt and go against us. How will you then rely on Qiuxue to marry into the provincial capital?"
Wang Yunyun nodded.
Tang Su'e hurriedly got into the three trucks she had ordered in advance and drove away.
Zhou Qiaoyun smiled and said to Wang Yunyun, "Is Qiuxue pregnant and getting an abortion today? Look how busy your mother is."
Wang Yunyun ignored Zhou Qiaoyun and turned back.
"Last time I heard your grandfather say he was going to give all his treasures to Qiuxue. Ever since Qiuxue went to the clinic, your grandfather hasn't come back. Is it really true?" Zhou Qiaoyun said deliberately. Seeing Wang Yunyun suddenly stop walking, she continued, "Yunyun, you were raised by your seventh aunt. Your seventh aunt can't stand to see you suffer. You'd better be careful that your grandfather doesn't give all his treasures to Qiuxue..."
Fearing that it would arouse Wang Yunyun's suspicion, Zhou Qiaoyun deliberately said at the end, "Oh dear, what kind of treasure could an old man in his forties have in his house? This old man never tells the truth, he's just saying these nonsensical things to deceive Erzhuang's daughter!"
Wang Yunyun asked Zhou Qiaoyun, "Did you really hear my grandfather say that?"
There was a basement of treasures in her grandfather's room, a fact known only to her and her grandfather.
"Seventh Aunt would lie to you? I heard it with my own ears. Your grandfather is exceptionally good to Qiu Xue. I really don't know what your grandfather is thinking, treating Song Erzhuang so well. He must be senile."
Wang Yunyun knew that Song Qiuxue was her maternal grandfather's granddaughter.
She felt a sense of crisis.
In the basement of her grandfather's room, there were priceless treasures. One of them would be enough for her to live on for a lifetime. She couldn't let Song Qiuxue take them away.
She wanted to drive Song Qiuxue out of the Tang family.
But she can't show her face.
She looked at Zhou Qiaoyun.
