Chapter 223 Pregnancy
“Wang Dazhi, did you go a bit too far this time? It’s normal that Zhou Fangfang didn’t want to go back with you, but you beat her until she bled just because she rejected you.”
"Zhou Fangfang looks so pained. You didn't beat her to death, did you?"
“Very likely. Look how quickly Deputy Company Commander Li sent her to the hospital. He is much gentler. I can understand why she didn’t want to go back with you.”
"You abused her, you almost beat her to death, why should she still follow you? Judging from how skilled you are, you must have beaten her a lot at home, right?"
Wang Dazhi's mind was in complete chaos.
"I...I didn't hit her..."
He offered a halting explanation, but no one believed him anymore, after all, he had beaten Zhou Fangfang so badly in front of everyone.
Wang Dazhi was completely helpless. He kept explaining that he hadn't used any force, but in everyone's eyes, he was the murderer who made Zhou Fangfang bleed.
Nobody believed him.
His reputation was ruined instantly.
These days, men who hit women are despised.
Moreover, if anything were to happen to Zhou Fangfang, Wang Dazhi would be punished.
In the end, Wang Dazhi even felt that he was about to beat Zhou Fangfang to death.
The news of today's events has started circulating within the military dependents' compound.
Initially, someone said, "Wang Dazhi went to steal a child late at night and ended up beating Zhou Fangfang until she bled."
Someone later said, "Wang Dazhi broke Zhou Fangfang's leg."
The final word that reached Zhang Weihong was: "Wang Dazhi beat Zhou Fangfang to death late at night."
Zhang Weihong said angrily, "That Wang Dazhi is a heartless man. He should be shot! He must be shot! I have never seen such a heartless person. It is only right that Zhou Fangfang did not go back with him. He does not deserve to have a wife."
"Now Zhou Fangfang has also been beaten to death. I heard that Deputy Company Commander Li cried until his eyes were red. It's so pitiful. Zhou Fangfang had a son who was so young, and now he has no mother."
Zhang Weihong had always despised men who beat their wives, especially one who had beaten his wife to death.
When she told Shen Zhixia about this, Shen Zhixia asked in surprise, "Was Wang Dazhi arrested?"
Zhang Weihong said, "It seems not, I haven't heard that he was arrested."
Shen Zhixia said, "If Zhou Fangfang were really dead, then Wang Dazhi would definitely have been arrested. Since he wasn't, it means the matter isn't that serious."
It's a rumor, that's normal. People always pass the same thing around, and by the end, the truth is distorted.
Zhang Weihong thought about it for a moment and felt that it made a lot of sense. However, she said, "But it's probably true that Wang Dazhi hit Zhou Fangfang, just not that serious. Why don't we go and see her?"
Shen Zhixia said, "I think you're just curious about this, not pretending to be interested in her."
Zhang Weihong chuckled: "Anyway, we're all from the same residential compound, so it's only right that we look out for each other. Of course, I'm also very curious about what exactly happened yesterday?"
Shen Zhixia then took ten eggs to visit Zhou Fangfang, and Zhang Weihong also took a jar of homemade fermented soybean paste. As soon as they arrived at Li Hongxing's house, they saw Zhou Fangfang lying on the bed, looking healthy and radiant.
Li Hongxing then asked her solicitously what she wanted to eat for lunch, and the two seemed to be quite happy.
Seeing this, Zhang Weihong was surprised. Wasn't Zhou Fangfang supposed to have been beaten? It turned out that the person who was beaten was in such a good mood.
She was starting to doubt the information she was hearing.
Upon seeing them, Li Hongxing quickly said, "Please sit down, sisters-in-law."
Zhang Weihong asked curiously, "I heard that Wang Dazhi hit your wife. What happened? Is she alright?"
Li Hongxing smiled broadly and said, "It's alright. The doctor said she's pregnant, but it's still early in the pregnancy. She was surprised, but thankfully the baby is fine."
"Huh?" Zhang Weihong was shocked.
Wasn't Li Hongxing infertile? Then how did Zhou Fangfang get pregnant? Is the child in her belly Li Hongxing's?
Li Hongxing coughed and said, "The child is indeed mine. The doctor said I might be infertile, but he didn't say it was untreatable."
Zhou Fangfang was also somewhat surprised, but she was very happy to be pregnant. She loved children, and having a child made her relationship with Li Hongxing even stronger.
Just then, Wang Dazhi arrived. He looked very disheveled and was in a bad mood. After all, because Zhou Fangfang had suddenly gotten into trouble, many people were blaming him, making him feel like he was caught in the middle.
When he arrived, he saw that Zhou Fangfang had gotten out of bed and seemed perfectly fine.
Wang Dazhi immediately flew into a rage: "Zhou Fangfang, I knew you were faking it! You just wanted to hurt me, didn't you? You weren't injured at all."
This time, Li Hongxing stood in front of Wang Dazhi and looked at him warningly: "Wang Dazhi, let me tell you, stay away from her. She's pregnant now. If anything happens to her, I will never let you off the hook."
"Pregnant...?"
Wang Dazhi was stunned for a moment, then roared angrily, "You fickle woman, you betrayed me!"
Even after Zhou Fangfang and Li Hongxing got married, Wang Dazhi didn't really feel anything, but now that he heard she was pregnant, he was completely devastated.
Zhou Fangfang: "..."
She and Wang Dazhi had long since severed ties, and she had no idea what was causing Wang Dazhi's breakdown.
Wang Dazhi said angrily, "Deputy Company Commander Li, Zhou Fangfang also betrayed you. Aren't you angry? This woman betrayed us at the same time. We should teach her a lesson."
Li Hongxing said speechlessly, "What nonsense are you talking about? This child is mine."
"Wh...what?" Wang Dazhi was completely confused. His eyes swept over Li Hongxing's lower body, and he stammered, "But didn't you have an accident?"
He didn't believe it: "Deputy Company Commander Li, you're just too kind. Are you trying to protect Zhou Fangfang? Let me tell you, she's no good. Don't take this child in just to protect her. If you make her come with me, I'll make her pay the price."
Li Hongxing calmly said, "I was indeed injured at the time, but I have been actively receiving treatment and the injury has now healed."
He looked at Wang Dazhi and said, "So don't give up either. You should actively treat your injuries, understand?"
Wang Dazhi was completely stunned.
He paused for a moment before saying, "Will I be cured too? But I've tried so many methods, and none of them have worked."
Li Hongxing's injuries have healed. Wang Dazhi should have been happy, but instead of being happy, he felt as if his own mother had died.
I feel terrible.
