"Ugh~ Ugh~"
Du Yinan vomited several times in a row.
Luo Jingyan said, "So Comrade Hu Sanqiang has already gotten Du Zhiqing pregnant. Aunt Hu, why don't you hurry up and arrange a marriage for them? If you wait until the child is born to hold the wedding, people will laugh at you."
Aunt Hu was still confused at this point; she hadn't heard her son say anything about having anything with Du Yinan.
So she whispered to Hu Sanqiang, who vehemently denied it, saying that he had never had any contact with Du Yinan, let alone had a child with her.
Aunt Hu said, "Luo Zhiqing, you're talking nonsense. My son has never touched Du Yinan. Who knows whose child is in her belly?"
At this moment, Du Yinan was rapidly thinking about a question.
That is the issue of what to do with the child in her womb. Fang Zhiyuan has been arrested and can no longer be relied upon. Rather than risking her life by having an abortion in secret and being sent to a labor camp, she might as well take this opportunity to find a father for the child in her womb, and all the problems will be solved.
She quickly replied, "What Luo Zhiqing said is right, I am indeed pregnant with Sanqiang's child."
These words immediately caused an uproar among those around them.
"So it turns out that Sanqiang and Du Zhiqing had been having an affair all along. Is Sanqiang going to marry Luo Zhiqing or Du Zhiqing?"
"If you ask me, why not just marry them both at the same time, hahaha."
The older women and aunties chattered and teased Aunt Hu and her son, Hu Sanqiang.
Aunt Hu was furious. Her son could not marry a pregnant woman. If he did, wouldn't he be raising someone else's child?
“Our Sanqiang never touched her, and the child in her belly is not Sanqiang’s.”
Du Yinan said, "Auntie, you and Sanqiang absolutely cannot deny it. The child in my belly is a child of your Hu family. If you don't take responsibility, I will report Hu Sanqiang for assaulting me and I will make him go to jail."
Aunt Hu and Hu Sanqiang were both in a dilemma.
Aunt Hu's original intention was to extort money from Luo Jingyan, but she didn't expect to fall into someone else's trap.
Everyone else believed what Du Yinan said; after all, the girl herself admitted it, so it couldn't be wrong.
An older woman advised Aunt Hu, "This educated youth, Du, is quite good. She's even pregnant with your Hu family's child. Isn't that wonderful? In just a few months, you'll be able to hold your grandson."
Aunt Hu felt a knot in her heart, a knot that made her feel uneasy and distressed.
Seeing their hesitation, Du Yinan said, "It doesn't matter if you don't admit it, I'll go find the police right now."
"Don't go." Aunt Hu stopped her: "Girl, you must tell the truth, or you'll be struck by lightning."
She needs to think this over carefully now.
Now that Lai Chunming is no longer there to back them up in the commune, they are afraid of the police.
“I haven’t told a single lie. You’re the ones who deserve to be struck by lightning for not admitting what you’ve done,” Du Yinan said.
Aunt Hu and Hu Sanqiang had almost no way out. After thinking about it, Aunt Hu could only swallow her bitterness and grit her teeth to agree. Once Du Yinan married into their family, she would definitely teach that little hussy a lesson.
“I didn’t know about your relationship with Sanqiang before. Since that’s the case, let Sanqiang marry you.”
Hu Sanqiang still wanted to marry Luo Jingyan: "Mother, I don't like her."
Aunt Hu said, "Sanqiang, if you don't agree, you'll go to jail."
Hu Sanqiang was afraid of going to jail, so he nodded.
Luo Jingyan said, "Aunt Hu, the one who slept with your son was Du Zhiqing. Your son has nothing to do with me. You just spread rumors about me. What do you have to say about that?"
Now that Aunt Hu has acknowledged Du Yinan, she can no longer falsely accuse Luo Jingyan.
If others found out that her son had slept with two female educated youths, it would be considered indecent assault, and he would still be arrested and imprisoned.
“Luo Zhiqing, I... I didn’t understand. Maybe Sanqiang remembered wrong. The person he slept with wasn’t you, but Du Zhiqing.”
She pinched Hu Sanqiang's hand, and Hu Sanqiang quickly said, "Yes, yes, I made a mistake. I didn't see clearly at the time. It wasn't you, it was Du Zhiqing."
Luo Jingyan said, "Because you made a mistake, I almost lost my innocence. Aunt Hu, this is no small matter. You can't just brush it off with a few words. You must compensate me for my losses."
"What compensation do you want? What losses have you suffered?"
“If you don’t deserve it, I’ll report you to the police. If the police come, Hu Sanqiang will be arrested.”
Firstly, they wanted to teach Aunt Hu a lesson; secondly, they didn't want Aunt Hu to bleed, otherwise other villagers would follow suit and come to slander her again.
Although she wasn't afraid, these kinds of things got annoying when they happened too often.
Aunt Hu asked, "How do you want us to compensate you?"
Luo Jingyan said, "It's not much, just ten yuan."
"So many?"
"You almost ruined my innocence, and you think ten yuan is too much? Then how about fifteen yuan? Otherwise, I'll go and report you to the police."
"Jingyan, think about our family background."
"Does even the police have to listen to your family? I'd better go to the county town and ask the police there if they have to listen to you."
Aunt Hu dared not let her go, and gritted her teeth, saying, "Jingyan, I'll listen to you, ten yuan is fine."
She doesn't dare to go to Secretary Lai now. That guy is in a terrible mess because of Lai Chunming's matter, and he might still be in the hospital right now. If she goes there, she'll definitely get scolded.
Aunt Hu looked dejected, wondering what sins she had committed to deserve this, that her son had failed to marry Luo Jingyan and now had to bring home a pair of burdens.
That's not all; those ten yuan were enough to make her heart ache.
This is absolutely the worst luck imaginable!
She ignored Du Yinan and tried to leave with Hu Sanqiang. Du Yinan was afraid they would deny it, so she said, "Aunt Hu, when should I marry Sanqiang? It would be best if we got our marriage certificate within three days. Otherwise, I will go to the police station to report Hu Sanqiang for indecent assault."
Aunt Hu's heart was bleeding: "Tomorrow then."
Luo Jingyan said, "You have to send the money you owe me tomorrow, or I'll report you to the police."
Aunt Hu nodded with difficulty.
The next day, after breakfast, Aunt Hu and Hu Sanqiang came to the educated youth settlement. They came to ask Du Yinan to go to the county town to complete the marriage procedures, and also to pick up the ten yuan compensation that was supposed to be given to Luo Jingyan.
After completing the marriage formalities, the Hu family decided not to hold a banquet and had Du Yinan move into their home that same day.
As soon as Du Yinan arrived at the Hu family's house, Aunt Hu slapped her hard across the face.
