Chapter 224 Feeling Abandoned
It's hard to describe this feeling. It's like everyone was going through the same misfortune, but then one day you find out that your friend secretly recovered, leaving you all alone in your grief.
At that moment, Wang Dazhi felt abandoned.
This is even more painful than everyone accusing him of beating Zhou Fangfang to death.
Li Hongxing was very happy. He said with a smile, "Wang Dazhi, I know there are some rumors outside affecting you. Don't worry, I will clarify the facts and prevent them from continuing to misunderstand you."
Wang Dazhi: "..."
He was really grateful.
However, Li Hongxing did not spread the news. When Li Hongxing's mother returned, she was very excited after hearing the news. Soon, everyone in the entire residential compound knew that Zhou Fangfang was pregnant.
This is truly a joyous occasion!
So many of the women from the family compound came over to congratulate them, and they all seemed very happy.
"You really have a child?" someone asked.
Zhou Fangfang nodded: "Yes, the pregnancy is still very early."
She was actually quite surprised. She had indeed been startled by Wang Dazhi, which was why her stomach hurt. Now that she was pregnant, she would take good care of the child and give birth to it.
The crowd looked at Li Hongxing with a strange and regretful expression: "So Deputy Company Commander Li's injuries can heal. The doctor said it was so serious back then, everyone thought he was going to die. If I had known his injuries could heal, I should have introduced my sister to him. Alas, I missed my chance."
"Isn't that right? Deputy Company Commander Li was always on the battlefield, so he didn't have this idea back then. Otherwise, he would have been the dream lover of countless girls."
Zhou Fangfang wasn't angry when she heard this. She could only gently touch her belly, hoping that she could give birth to a healthy baby.
She had an easy natural birth with her first child, and hopefully her second one will be just as smooth.
Those women chattered on and on, saying all sorts of things. Basically, they were saying that if they had known this would happen, they should have found Li Hongxing a wife even if he was injured, since Li Hongxing's requirements would have been much lower back then.
That being said, at that time Li Hongxing had just had an accident, and no one was willing to marry into her family. Everyone was afraid of living as a widow.
But who could have predicted this?
This gave Zhou Fangfang a huge advantage.
Zhou Fangfang also knew that she had gotten a good deal. Li Hongxing was really a good person, not referring to his status, but because he himself was a very good person. He was gentle, kind, and respected women, which were excellent qualities.
She had used up all the luck in her life just to meet him.
"Fangfang, you should get some rest. I brought you some fruit to help the baby get more nutrition."
"We won't bother you any longer. If you need any help, please let us know."
"I've had four children myself, so I'm very experienced in this area. Just remember to eat plenty of nutritious food during your pregnancy."
After these women finished speaking, they left without disturbing Zhou Fangfang's rest.
Looking at the things that had been delivered, Zhou Fangfang felt that although the people here were a bit noisy, they weren't bad people at heart.
She smiled slightly, feeling that there was more hope for the future.
Perhaps because she was too nervous in the middle of the night, she fell asleep as soon as she lay down on the bed. While she was feeling dizzy, she felt movement in her stomach.
When she opened her eyes, she saw her son lying on her stomach, saying in a serious tone, "Little brother, what are you doing in there? Are you sleeping? I'll sing you a song, and after you come out, we can play together."
Zhou Fangfang found it amusing: "Who are you talking to?"
The son blinked his eyes and said innocently, "Of course it's my younger brother."
Zhou Fangfang said, "He's not even fully formed yet, how could he understand what you're saying?"
The son said seriously, "He can definitely hear me. If he can't hear me now, then I'll come and talk to him every day, and then he'll hear me."
Actually, when Zhou Fangfang got pregnant, she hadn't initially planned to have a child. The pregnancy was unexpected, but she didn't know how to tell her son, and she was afraid he wouldn't accept it.
However, it seems she was overthinking it; her son was clearly quite happy.
Zhou Fangfang breathed a sigh of relief. It was good that her son could accept the second child. She said, "It's good that you can accept this child. I thought you wouldn't like it."
The son didn't understand: "I like it, Mom. If you have a few more little brothers, I'll play with them and I'll be the eldest."
He was so lonely. He had long hoped that Zhou Fangfang could have more children to play with. Now that his mother had children, he felt really wonderful.
Zhou Fangfang said with a smile, "You're already calling me 'little brother' now. Maybe the baby in my belly isn't a little brother."
The son asked in surprise, "Not my younger brother?"
Zhou Fangfang nodded.
The son looked at her belly with suspicion and said something surprising: "So you're not pregnant with my older brother, are you?"
Zhou Fangfang: "?"
Children speak without restraint.
Since having a child, Li Hongxing's mother has been overjoyed and doesn't let her do any housework anymore. She spends her days thinking about how to cook delicious food, and every time Zhou Fangfang tries to do chores, a bunch of people stop her.
Just as she was feeling a bit uncomfortable lying flat, she quietly gathered her clothes to do laundry. On her way there, she ran into Wang Dazhi.
Zhou Fangfang involuntarily took a step back.
Wang Dazhi's gaze fell on Zhou Fangfang's belly. Zhou Fangfang's belly wasn't actually showing yet, but she had gained some weight recently, so she looked very pregnant.
When Zhou Fangfang was pregnant, Wang Dazhi wasn't by her side. He didn't know what it was like for a woman to be pregnant, but seeing Zhou Fangfang like this made him feel uncomfortable.
Zhou Fangfang said, "Wang Dazhi, what exactly do you want to do?"
This time, Wang Dazhi didn't touch Zhou Fangfang. He didn't dare to do it again. After all, he was still a little scared when he was condemned by everyone last time. He didn't want everyone to know that he had hurt Zhou Fangfang.
He came here to discuss things with Zhou Fangfang. He had analyzed the situation carefully: "Now that you are married to Deputy Company Commander Li and you have a child, I won't bother you."
Zhou Fangfang glanced at him. Wang Dazhi had finally said something sensible, but she didn't think he was such a kind person.
He must have something else on his mind.
Sure enough, Wang Dazhi quickly said, "Since that's the case, then give me my son. I'm all alone now, and I need a child to take care of me in my old age. Anyway, you have a new child now, so you don't need that son anymore."
