Chapter 50 Crazy
Meng Ruoxi leaned tiredly on the chair, not even having the strength to raise her hands.
"Xixi, I'm sorry, it's my fault." Shi Yanjin held her hand tightly, the veins on his arm were exposed, and there was regret in his red eyes.
"What's wrong?" Her brain didn't react for a moment and she didn't understand what he was saying.
Shi Yanjin's throat tightened, and his heart seemed to be tightly entangled by vines. He couldn't breathe smoothly. After a long time, he said, "I shouldn't have insisted on my own way and hurt you."
What's the point of saying this now?
Meng Ruoxi closed her eyes, the corners of her mouth raised tiredly, as if in a mocking or shameful smile. After a while, she opened her eyes with a calm expression.
"I understand you." Although she said these four short words lightly, her soul seemed to be hollowed out.
Shi Yanjin felt heartbroken. He had sworn at the beginning to be good to her, but what had he done?
If she doesn't want to have a baby, then don't. Why force her? Seeing her suffer every day and being unable to do anything about it, he was filled with a feeling of frustration.
Sighing, Meng Ruoxi sat up straight and patted his hand. "Don't let your imagination run wild. Go see if Wen Jing is still in the yard. I didn't hear his voice, and I feel a little uneasy."
Coming back to his senses from his thoughts, Shi Yanjin responded and nodded, "Okay, I'll go take a look, you wait, don't come out, Wen Jing will be fine."
After Shi Yanjin left, Meng Ruoxi sat on the chair for a while, then stood up and walked out.
As soon as he walked out of the room, he ran into Shi Yanjin, who had a serious look on his face. His heart instantly lifted, "Where's Wen Jing?"
Shi Yanjin's eyes sparkled, "He was playing hide-and-seek with his mom, and he insisted that I play with him, too. I told you, and then I went to play with him."
"Really?" Meng Ruoxi didn't believe it. He wouldn't have such an expression on his face if nothing happened.
Shi Yanjin smiled softly, "Of course."
Seeing that he was still planning to lie to her, Meng Ruoxi's face turned cold, "If you don't want me to worry, just tell the truth."
Shi Yanjin sighed as he still wanted to keep it secret, realizing that nothing could be hidden.
She evaded the question and answered, "I didn't see him when I went out. Mom thought he was with us, so she's already out looking for him. Don't worry, Wen Jing is very smart, nothing will happen to him."
Staring at him with cold eyes, Meng Ruoxi gritted her teeth and said, "No matter how smart he is, he is just a one-year-old child. If you don't watch him carefully, you won't know how he died. Why don't you hurry up and find him!"
Shi Yanjin was afraid that she might have a miscarriage, so he stepped forward to comfort her, "I'll go right away, go back to your room and lie down, don't let your mind wander, I will definitely bring my son back safely."
He left in a hurry, worried about his son, but he couldn't show it because his wife was pregnant.
Meng Ruoxi was so angry that her stomach ached slightly. She held her waist and walked into the house. She sat down on the chair, holding her chest with her hands, her face full of pain.
The last time I went out and ran to the mountain, I almost fell to death. When I came back, I was holding a flower that was about to lose its petals and gave it to me. With shining eyes, I said, "This is for me."
At that moment, Meng Ruoxi was not moved, but was so scared that she burst into tears and grabbed the child and started beating him. No one could stop her.
The child didn't know why he was hit, and cried in pain, asking his mother not to hit him.
Afterwards, he felt disgusted whenever he saw flowers and thought his mother beat him because she didn't like flowers.
She was in great pain and had no way to explain it.
If something happened to my child in the mountains, how would I forgive myself?
It was quiet all around. Meng Ruoxi became more and more anxious as she waited. She lowered her eyes to look at her frighteningly large belly, hardened her heart, and stood up to walk out.
She couldn't see the ground when she walked now, and it was very dangerous to be alone outside, but she couldn't care less about that at the moment.
I walked all the way to the mountain. When I met a villager on the way, I asked him if he had seen Shi Yanjin. When I learned that he had not, I continued walking.
"Meng Ruoxi." Someone called her softly from behind.
Meng Ruoxi turned around and saw Wang Lili, whom she hadn't seen for a long time. She nodded at her, turned around and continued walking forward.
She walked slowly, and there were footsteps chasing after her from behind. The steps sounded very urgent, and she suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart.
Turning around, I saw that it was still Wang Lili, so I frowned and asked, "What's the matter?"
He quietly moved his feet back, trying to distance himself from her as she got closer and closer.
But it was useless. Wang Lili approached her step by step, staring at her big belly with eyes like a venomous snake, smiling sinisterly.
"I heard that you are pregnant with twins. The Shi family treats you like an ancestor all day long. You are so lucky. Unlike me, I have endless work to do every day."
In an instant, his face was filled with sorrow. "At first, I begged you to help me, but you didn't help me. You even exposed me in public. In the past two years, people in the village have been pointing fingers at me, saying that I am a slut, having affairs with other women, and having a child before marriage. Liu Daqiang is not as nice to me as he was before, and he beats and kicks me at every turn. Look, all these on me were caused by him."
As he spoke, he lifted up his clothes, revealing densely packed purple scars.
Meng Ruoxi was unmoved. What did this have to do with her? "What do you want to do?"
Wang Lili laughed crazily and rushed towards her, her eyes wide as bells. She grabbed her shoulders tightly and whispered in her ears with a weird smile, "What do I want to do? Of course I want to kill you. You ruined my life, how can you live better than me!"
There was a sharp pain in her shoulder, and her bones seemed to be crushed. Meng Ruoxi didn't even make a sound, and didn't even try to break away. "If you kill me, you won't survive. Why do you have to risk your own life because of me? I can change your current situation. As long as you let me go, I can let you eat and drink enough every day without working."
Wang Lili sneered. As she had been doing farm work for many years, she was surprisingly strong. She twisted her hands behind her back and pushed her to the ground with a thud. She pressed her knee against her stomach with a vicious smile.
"You think I'm a fool. If I let you go now, you'll probably die before tomorrow. But killing you will satisfy me."
The burning pain in her back was nothing compared to the piercing pain in her stomach. Meng Ruoxi's face was paler than paper, and cold sweat streamed down her face, wetting her thick collar.
He reached out his hand, trying to push her knees away, but he had no strength at all.
I wanted to shout for help, but I was afraid of irritating her and causing her to do something even crazier. I could only endure the pain like a knife cutting my bones and said to her, "Killing her all at once, how boring."
"Ha." Wang Lili laughed strangely, holding a knife in front of her, and said in a sinister voice, "Use the knife to cut open your belly and take the baby out."
He pressed his knee hard against her stomach and warned her, "Don't play tricks, or I'll kill you right away!"
Pain spread throughout her body, her eyes were filled with bloodshot, and Meng Ruoxi clenched her teeth to prevent herself from making any sound.
Holding the knife, he slashed at his stomach without any hesitation. The pain stimulated his brain, and his dizzy mind became clearer.
The pain in her stomach, coupled with the pain in her wounds, was like a slow execution. She suppressed her twitching facial expression, raised her eyes, and said weakly, "Your knee is against my stomach, and I can't get the baby out."
Wang Lili did not move her knees away. Her eyes, already red from the stimulation of the blood, stared at her without blinking. "I advise you not to play tricks. If you can't take it out, I can help you."
Meng Ruoxi sighed and said with a trembling voice, "I'm already like this, what tricks can I play? You are too suspicious."
