The entrance of Sihe Village was in a mess, but most of the villagers just stood by and watched at first without taking any other action. Some people even went back to work, still thinking about the rice in the fields.
Only some families who were on good terms with Lin Fuqiang were helping to plead for mercy. As time went on, some older people, looking at the blood on the ground, also felt that this was too disgraceful.
In addition, the child Lin Erniu kept hugging the village staff's thighs and crying, kneeling on the ground to beg for mercy, which made people feel sorry for him. They said that they should just let Lin Fuqiang pay the fine.
Lin Fuqiang said from the beginning that he had paid the money. He said he would pay 1,000 yuan, and if 1,000 yuan was not enough, he would pay 2,000 yuan. He just asked them not to take Ma Fengjuan away... Lin Erniu also said that if it was still not enough, he could owe it to him. He would quit school and go out to earn money to pay it back...
But they remained unmoved and once again emphasized the slogan of "Insert an IUD for the first child and sterilize the second." They also said that Lin Fuqiang, as a Party member, did not even have this awareness. As the village party secretary, it was bad enough that he did not set a good example, but he also broke the law knowingly.
The job of this village official will definitely be taken away. When the time comes, they will be criticized and stopped from doing their official duties. Be careful and end up in study classes!
…
Ma Fengjuan was eventually dragged away, and Li Xiuying was followed. After being helped up by Lin Guoqing, Lin Fuqiang stumbled back home to ride his bicycle, saying that he had to bring his wife back later.
Lin Guoqing quickly said that he would lend him his tricycle, as Ma Fengjuan had been taken there for an abortion and she definitely wouldn’t be able to ride a bicycle when she came back and would have to lie down.
Chen Chunhua helped to take out all the baskets in the carriage and covered them with a wooden board. She also dug out the quilt at home. It was summer and the quilt was originally pressed into the innermost part of the cabinet.
Lin Fuqiang thanked the couple while crying, then rode out with his son.
The two stood at the entrance of the village and looked for a long time, sighing.
"What is going on here..." Lin Guoqing didn't know how to describe it. He didn't like Ma Fengjuan either. This woman had always been arrogant. Even if someone was close to Lin Fuqiang, she would never give him a good look.
But this cannot be paid for with human life! The baby in the belly is already 8 months old, what's wrong with it?
Cai Yinling didn't leave either. She stood beside Shen Chunhua, quietly watching the direction where Lin Fuqiang and his son's tricycle went away. After a while, she said,
"I was pregnant once before, but it died after a month and a half."
Chen Chunhua looked at her in shock, her heart sinking even colder. "...When did it happen?"
Cai Yinling pulled the corners of her mouth, with a forced smile, "It's old news, but if the baby is born, he should be a classmate of your Shumei."
"Actually, I didn't notice it myself. I didn't even know I was pregnant... But I was feeling unwell that day, so I asked Captain Ma if I could take a break for a while." Cai Yinling spoke lightly, as if she was talking about someone else's family.
"She said, 'You think you're in confinement? Why are you resting? If you want to rest, go home and rest. You don't have to work anymore.'"
"Then I continued to do it, and halfway through, Youqing's wife said there was blood on the bottom of my pants... I went to the hospital, and the doctor said the baby was gone."
"That day, Ma Fengjuan still deducted my work points and said I left early."
Cai Yinling uttered a "huh" and turned to look at Chen Chunhua.
"Chunhua, do you believe in retribution?"
"This is Ma Fengjuan's retribution. She brought it upon us."
…
Ma Fengjuan was forced to have an abortion, and it was said that the baby was still breathing when it came out, and it was a boy. But in the end, Lin Fuqiang didn't get to see it.
When he arrived at the hospital, his wife had already had an IUD inserted. She was lying there with a pale face. All the blood had probably transferred to her skirt and the bed sheets. She was lying on her back like a living dead person.
Lin Erniu rushed over and knelt down calling for his mother. Ma Fengjuan also did not move. If it were not for the breath coming out of her nose, Lin Erniu would have thought that his mother was also dead.
He glared at Li Xiuying fiercely. The twelve-year-old boy wasn't short, and his teeth were bared when he got angry. "You're a devil! You're a bad person! You'll get your comeuppance! My grandma said you'll get your comeuppance!"
Li Xiuying sat there, not at all afraid of the curses from the two men, nor the glances from passersby. She smiled, stood up, stood by Ma Fengjuan's bed, and looked at her. Her eyes were full of lightness.
"Ma Fengjuan, I won't tell you about how I got pregnant and then lost it. Although the doctor said that I was weak because I didn't take good care of myself during the postpartum period, I just thought of myself as useless.
"But the first child will be yours. A life for a life, we're even. If you still want revenge, come on!"
She also looked up at Lin Fuqiang and Lin Erniu, as if provoking them.
"If I were a devil, your mother would be a beast in the eighteenth level of hell! I believe in retribution, and I believe that before I die, this woman will definitely die before me!"
"Lin Fuqiang, don't you really know how many people she's harmed? Just because you used to be the village chief's son, then became the village chief, the production team leader, and the village party secretary! You protected her for so many years, isn't today your retribution?"
"Your son is gone. Isn't that retribution for you? It was Ma Fengjuan who killed your own child! It was you who killed your own child!"
Boom, boom, boom,
The summer weather changes suddenly. Dark clouds covered the city and heavy rain came down all of a sudden. The light and shadow of lightning in the sky hit Li Xiuying's face. Her blood-red eyes, coupled with the alternating light and dark facial expressions, really made her look like a madman. Lin Erniu was so scared that he sat down on the ground.
And Lin Fuqiang, listening to Li Xiuying's final repeated shrill screams amid the sound of heavy rain like soybeans hitting the glass, suddenly felt like he had aged twenty years.
Did he kill his own child?
If he had not let Ma Fengjuan be the team leader from the beginning, he would have kept her mouth shut and prevented her from offending others.
If he had been fair after Ma Fengjuan committed the crime, he would have given her a good beating and forced her to apologize.
if……
Will everything be different?
so,
He and Ma Fengjuan were both murderers of the child.
This is also his retribution.
