Chapter 118
Lei Xiao ignored her and didn't even look at her, as if he didn't hear her calling him.
Yao Yi was extremely panicked and regretful.
She remembered that when Lei Xiao noticed her bleeding, he quickly called Lei's mother over. As someone who had experienced this before, Lei's mother immediately understood what was going on. While questioning Lei Xiao about the situation, she also called Lei's father over. The whole family, including Lei Ying, hurriedly rushed Yao Yi to the hospital.
After the doctor confirmed that the baby in Yao Yi's belly was gone, the Lei family became what they are now.
Yao Yi wanted to talk to someone, but no one looked at her. They all looked away with ugly expressions.
Finally, Yao Yi realized that someone was missing. As if she had finally found a topic to talk about, she asked, "Where's Yingying? Why can't I see her?"
She remembered that Lei Ying was there when she was sent to the hospital.
Lei's mother looked away and replied to Yao Yi: "Yingying went to call for help."
"Who are you calling?" Yao Yi asked.
Lei Mu stopped talking.
The ward was quiet for a few seconds, and Lei Ying pushed open the door and came in.
Before Lei Ying could say anything, the woman who followed her in spoke.
"Yiyi? Yiyi! How could the child be gone? What happened? Wasn't he fine before?"
Yao Yi looked at Aunt Xie and Father Yao who came in and was stunned for several seconds.
Could it be that the people Lei Ying called were her parents?
Although she really wanted to see Aunt Xie and be cared for and loved by her, she didn't think that Mother Lei would be so kind as to ask Lei Ying to call her parents at this critical moment.
"My dear relatives, you are here." Lei's mother said calmly, "Let Lei Xiao tell you what happened."
After that, she said to Lei Xiao, "Lei Xiao, tell your mother-in-law and father-in-law everything that happened tonight."
So Lei Xiao told Aunt Xie and Father Yao in detail about the quarrel at the dinner table, the quarrel between Yao Yi and him after dinner, and Yao Yi's jumping around and hitting her stomach.
Aunt Xie and Father Yao were shocked after hearing this.
How could this child be so reckless! She was pregnant, so how could she jump around and even hit her own belly? Wasn't she trying to cause a miscarriage?
Although Aunt Xie knew that her daughter had done something wrong, how could she admit Yao Yi's mistake in front of the Lei family?
She said, "If you hadn't bullied her first, she wouldn't be jumping around and hitting her stomach!"
"Bullying?" Lei's mother said coldly: "How did we bully her?"
"You asked her to cook her own meals and clean her own house. Isn't this bullying her? She's carrying the blood of your Lei family, and you asked her to do this and that. She got so angry and cold-hearted that she jumped around and hit herself in the stomach!"
Lei Ying was infuriated by Aunt Xie's unreasonable behavior. She said, "When did we ever ask her to do this or that? Ever since she got pregnant, my mom has been doing everything in the house! Even things like buying apples are done by me! She finds fault all day long, complaining that my mom didn't do this right, that she didn't do that right, and that the apples I bought aren't as delicious as the last time! I always buy them for her at the same counter at the supply and marketing cooperative, and I don't understand how she can tell they're not as delicious as last time!"
"You didn't let her do anything before, and now you suddenly ask her to cook her own meals and clean her own house. Of course she's angry. It's normal for her to do something irreparable in a fit of rage!" Aunt Xie yelled.
Mother Lei sneered: "As expected of your daughter, she is just like you."
She raised her eyes to look at Aunt Xie. "Ever since your daughter got pregnant, I believe I've been very attentive and accommodating to her. In our time, which woman would do nothing when she got pregnant? Let's talk about your family. I heard my son mention that every time Yao Yi came back to her parents' home, she would yell at her sister-in-law and you didn't care. Ask yourself, if your daughter-in-law got pregnant, would you let her do nothing like I did? I'm afraid you can't do even one tenth of what I did to Yao Yi, and you're still saying that Yao Yi's miscarriage was our fault."
Aunt Xie felt a little guilty, but she still stiffened her neck and said, "It's all your fault!"
"Since you are just like your daughter and cannot be reasoned with, you should take care of her yourself while she is in the hospital. That's why I asked my daughter to call you here." Lei's mother said.
Aunt Xie was shocked: "What do you mean? My daughter had a miscarriage because of you, and you don't even want to take care of her?!"
"Can we control her? Since you are her biological mother, you can take care of her. If you don't want to, that's fine. We won't control her anyway." Lei's mother spread her hands.
Aunt Xie was furious, frightened, and panicked: "You guys are... you're... trying to get these two kids to divorce?"
"We didn't say that. But if you want to divorce, we have no objection. And if you continue to be so unreasonable, we welcome the two children to divorce. To be honest, I really don't like a lesbian who doesn't even cherish the baby in her belly." After Lei's mother finished speaking, she signaled everyone in the Lei family to go with her.
Aunt Xie was extremely panicked when she saw the Lei family members walking out.
She could only call the person she was most familiar with: "Lei Xiao—Lei Xiao—are you leaving too? Your wife is still lying here!"
Lei Xiao stopped, glanced at her coldly, then glanced at Yao Yi on the hospital bed, and said, "What my mother just said is what I want to say."
After saying that, he closed the door and left.
Aunt Xie was so angry that she jumped up and down: "This Lei family is nothing!"
Yao's father, who had been silent the whole time, couldn't help but speak up: "Alright! I told you last time, if you want your daughter to be well, don't meddle in her affairs. Look at what you just said to the Lei family, who wouldn't be angry? If you had spoken to the Lei family nicely, would they have said such harsh words?"
Aunt Xie was already angry, and when she saw Father Yao blaming her, she became even angrier.
"You're so good at talking, why didn't you tell the Lei family just now? You just blame me!"
"Did you give me a chance to speak?" said Yao's father.
"Why didn't I give you a chance to speak? Did I sew your mouth shut or something? Since when did you need my permission to speak?"
“…”
Listening to the quarrel between Aunt Xie and Father Yao, Yao Yi covered her ears and buried her head in the quilt in pain.
She was extremely uneasy.
She knew that Lei's mother had no good intentions when she called her parents here. But she never imagined that Lei's mother actually wanted her parents to take care of her. The Lei family, including Lei Xiao, no longer cared about her!
Although she was wrong in having the baby aborted, were they not wrong?
After all, it was their child that she aborted. Shouldn't they take care of her?
Could it be that Lei Xiao really wants to divorce her because of this?
…
Outside the ward.
