Chapter 119
As Lei's mother walked out, she instructed Lei Xiao, "Go and pay the medical expenses for the next few days. Although we won't be taking care of Yao Yi anymore, we still have to pay for her medical expenses to avoid being accused of treating the Yao family badly."
Lei Xiao nodded and took note of what Lei Mu said.
"Also, go tell the nurses and doctors to take good care of Yao Yi. The key is to explain to them why Yao Yi had a miscarriage and what the Yao family's attitude is. Tomorrow morning, take some things to the Yao family's house and tell them they're for Yao Yi's health. Have your mother-in-law take good care of her. The key is to let everyone in the compound know why Yao Yi had a miscarriage. If we don't take some measures ahead of time, your mother-in-law will be able to turn black into white. Who knows, tomorrow, whether it's the hospital or the compound, they'll start saying that we treated Yao Yi badly and that's why she had a miscarriage."
Lei Xiao felt that his mother was very forward-thinking. If they did nothing, given Aunt Xie's personality, their family would surely be blamed for their daughter-in-law's miscarriage tomorrow.
"Okay." Lei Xiao nodded heavily: "I'll go pay the medical bills first."
"We'll wait for you outside." said Father Lei.
Lei Xiao nodded.
After paying the medical bills, Lei Xiao went to find the nurses and doctors. On the surface, he asked them to take better care of his wife, but in fact, he told them how good his mother was to Yao Yi, and how Yao Yi was ungrateful and even caused her to have a miscarriage.
After finishing what Lei's mother asked him to do, Lei Xiao walked out of the hospital.
He suddenly stopped.
There were two people in front of him, and he was very familiar with the figure of one of them.
The person placed her hand on her slightly bulging belly, with a sweet look on her face, and said to the person next to her in a coquettish tone: "I told you it's okay, but you had to come over to check it out before you could be assured."
"Pregnancy is a big deal. There can't be any mistakes. It's better to get checked to be at ease." said the man next to the woman.
"I just heard the doctor say everything is fine, are you relieved?"
"Yeah, I'm relieved."
The woman smiled even sweeter when she heard this.
The man gently put his arm around her waist and walked out together.
The woman seemed to have suddenly sensed something and looked in Lei Xiao's direction without any warning.
Lei Xiao wanted to find a place to hide, but there was no place nearby. He could only stand there blankly and met the woman's gaze.
When the woman saw him, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, and then she looked away as if she didn't know him, and left the hospital with the man who was holding her gently.
Lei Xiao stared blankly at their figures disappearing at the hospital entrance, unable to recover for a long time.
The woman's gaze, as if she were looking at a stranger, deeply hurt him.
After all, they had been dating for more than half a year. How could she look at him with such strange eyes?
Lei Xiao left the hospital somewhat distraught. Seeing his appearance, Lei's mother didn't ask any more questions. She only asked, "Have you completed everything I asked you to do?"
"Yeah, it's done." Lei Xiao replied absentmindedly.
"Let's talk about it when we get home." Lei's mother said.
When they got home, Lei's mother and Lei Xiao went into his room together.
She asked Lei Xiao: "Did you see her?"
It goes without saying who this "she" refers to.
Lei Xiao nodded without saying anything.
"It's all in the past. I see she's pregnant, and her husband seems to treat her well. Don't worry about it anymore." Mother Lei said in a gentle and comforting voice.
Lei Xiao laughed at himself and said, "Why should I be so entangled? It wasn't our Lei family that looked down on her. It was her family that looked down on me and our family."
When Lei's mother saw Lei Xiao like this, she knew that he had not completely let go.
In fact, when she saw Lei Xiao insisted on marrying Yao Yi, she wondered if Lei Xiao insisted on marrying Yao Yi because Yao Yi was inferior to him in terms of family background and personal conditions, and Yao Yi was still very obedient to him. In front of Yao Yi, he could feel the self-esteem and arrogance of a man.
"Her family's conditions are indeed much better than ours. It's normal that her family looks down on us." Lei's mother said.
The daughter of a municipal government official is too high a prospect for a family like theirs to marry.
"But we don't want anything from her family. Why should she look down on us? Her parents looked down on me, and she didn't fight for it for a long time. She just listened to her parents and broke up with me!" Lei Xiao said resentfully.
"Then what do you think the Yao family wants from us? We just look down on the Yao family."
"We look down on the Yao family because Yao Yi and her mother are sometimes too vulgar and petty!" Lei Xiao said.
"Maybe in the eyes of your ex-boyfriend's family, we are also very vulgar and look like petty people." Lei's mother said indifferently.
Lei Xiao was speechless, but the resentment in his heart could not be calmed down.
"She is married and pregnant, and seems to be living a good life. You are married too, and Yao Yi is your own choice, so you shouldn't dwell on the past anymore." Lei's mother said again.
"I'm not dwelling on the past. I just saw her and saw that she is living such a good life now. When I think about my own life, I feel very embarrassed. I can't hold my head up in front of her anymore." Lei Xiao lowered his eyes and spoke his true feelings.
"You and she are not the same kind of people. There's no comparison. What you see is just the surface of her life. Only she knows what her real life is like. No one else can know. Just like how your life is, only you, the people involved, know it." Mother Lei paused and continued, "I still say that what's done is done. Don't dwell on it anymore."
Lei's mother patted Lei Xiao's shoulder, said nothing more, and went out, leaving Lei Xiao to think on his own.
…
The next morning, Lei Xiao went to the slum as his mother had instructed, carrying a chicken, brown sugar, and apples.
After Lei Xiao left, the news that Yao Yi had a miscarriage spread throughout the compound.
When Aunt Xie came back from the hospital, many people in the compound were waiting to laugh at her.
When Zhou Jinmei saw Aunt Xie coming back, she first said to her, "Did you go to the hospital to take care of Yao Yi?"
Aunt Xie was still stunned, wondering how Zhou Jinmei knew that she went to the hospital to take care of Yao Yi. Could it be that Zhong Lan and Yao Hong told it outside?
Aunt Xie immediately complained, "Yeah! You don't know, the Lei family is such a piece of shit. Even when Yiyi was pregnant, they made her do the laundry, cook, and clean the house. They didn't care about her at all, and ended up causing her to have a miscarriage!"
Aunt Xie thought that when everyone heard her say this, they would definitely sympathize with her and Yao Yi and stand on their side to scold the Lei family.
But Zhou Jinmei and the others looked at her with very strange eyes.
