Chapter 227: Making Trouble
"Do you still want to pretend that nothing happened that day?"
Tears welled up in Chen Lan's eyes, as if she was telling her own unspeakable secret.
"How could I have meant that?"
Hao Jianjun was overwhelmed, but Chen Lan's performance that night was indeed very immature, not like someone who had experienced sex.
Before he was hurt, she kept crying out in pain. When he woke up the next morning, he actually saw traces of blood on the bed sheet.
So he still believed that he was Chen Lan's first man, but he was not sure whether he was the last one.
Mainly during the subsequent in-depth interactions, I could clearly feel that this person was much more open-minded than before.
He, an experienced driver, almost couldn't stand it and was about to be squeezed dry.
"How long have we been together? How about I take you to the hospital?"
Hao Jianjun wanted to see if it was true, it would be best if it wasn't.
If she really is pregnant, then she should just keep it a secret. He still doesn't plan to marry her.
He had heard from Wei Hong that Chen Lan's family background was extremely poor and troublesome.
If he married her, he would be entangled by a whole family of blood-sucking bugs, and he couldn't bear it.
"What are you talking about? I'm an unmarried girl.
If I really went to the hospital and was seen by people I knew, I really wouldn’t be able to survive.”
Chen Lan pulled down the scarf on her head, her face flushed with anger.
Apart from anything else, Xu Huiping, who lives in the same compound as her family, works in the hospital.
"Can't you go to a hospital farther away? Why do you have to go to a nearby one?"
Hao Jianjun felt that this woman was too troublesome. It was just a pregnancy. Why didn't he notice that she was so pretentious before?
"My period hasn't come in a while, and I was nauseous when I ate fish yesterday. I'm definitely pregnant.
If you don't believe me, forget it. I'll save some money and then go to the hospital secretly to have the operation when the month comes.
I see you have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
Chen Lan wiped away her tears, sniffed, reached out to wrap the scarf around her head, and turned to leave.
Looking at her like this, Hao Jianjun felt a little more convinced.
"Why are you leaving? You are carrying our Hao family's precious grandson in your belly.
She's already pregnant, yet she's still so unstable."
He grabbed Chen Lan, frowned, and started lecturing again.
"Here, spend this little money first and buy some meat. Don't let my son starve."
He took out twenty yuan and a few food coupons from the pocket of his cotton-padded jacket, stuffed them into Chen Lan's hand, and touched her face.
"I don't want it. My pregnancy has nothing to do with you, Director Hao. I don't want your money!"
Chen Lan didn't even look at him, but pushed him away expressionlessly, as if she was hurt by what he said before.
"Be obedient. Why are you being so petty in front of me? Just take it when I tell you to. Can't you spend your man's money?"
Hao Jianjun's male chauvinism came back, and his voice rose a degree. Chen Lan reluctantly accepted it.
"Then I'll go back first."
Chen Lan raised the chilblains on her hand sideways and hid them behind her.
"Okay, walk slower. By the way, it's not a big deal for you to wash vegetables and soak in cold water in a restaurant now that you're pregnant, right?"
Little did he know that he had just expressed Chen Lan's thoughts.
"Isn't this how every woman gets pregnant? Why are you being so pretentious?"
"How can this be considered pretentious? Wait until I find a way to get you a new job. I think just sitting there and collecting pay is pretty good."
"Hey, Jianjun, I'll listen to you."
Finally, Chen Lan went back contentedly, touched her belly which looked like nothing, and raised the corners of her mouth.
It’s different when she has a child. Soon she will have everything.
…
Lin Xiaotong rode her bicycle to the hospital alone and bought some foot ointment for Gao Xiulan on the way.
Xiao Xue has recovered and returned to the hospital to continue working. After going to the first floor to get the ointment, she was ready to go back.
As soon as I walked into the hall, I saw a group of people gathered together, and a shrill female voice came from the crowd.
I didn't try to squeeze in, but just stood on tiptoe beside the information desk to look inside.
"Everyone come and take a look, look carefully, it's this woman.
I just asked and they gave me a cold look, what's the matter? Are we poor people not worthy of coming to the hospital?"
The people in the encirclement squeezed out as they were talking, howling and stamping their feet.
He clapped his hands from time to time, and then clapped his thighs, performing a series of singing, reciting, acting and fighting.
It was an acquaintance, Xu Huiping's mother, followed by a young female comrade.
It was Shen Suqin who was scolded by Xu Ma the most.
Before Lin Xiaotong could figure out the situation, Xu Ma started again and pulled the female comrade behind her.
"All of you, please judge for me. My daughter-in-law got married in the summer, and it's been almost half a year and she still hasn't gotten pregnant.
As a mother-in-law, I am anxious and worried.
I specially found a secret recipe to nourish her, and I eat it once a day without missing a single day.
Finally she showed some reaction recently. I took her to the hospital.
Guess what? It’s gone. My daughter-in-law took the medicine she prescribed and lost the baby in her belly.”
The one being held tightly by Xu Ma was the fourth son's wife, Juanzi. Being stared at by so many people, her body felt as if being peeled off layer by layer.
In order to avoid the naked gaze, I had to lower my head and keep silent.
Mother Xu stretched out her finger and pointed, and Shen Suqin's face turned ashen.
"Can you please be reasonable? I told you that you were wrong."
"How am I being unreasonable? My daughter-in-law felt the fishy smell when she drank fish soup yesterday and she didn't feel like eating anything.
We've all been through this, so if this isn't pregnancy, then what is it?"
In order to help the fourth child have children sooner, Xu Ma secretly asked someone and bought a small can of boy's urine, which she mixed with the medicine and coaxed Juanzi into drinking.
"Your daughter-in-law is not pregnant. She just has a stomachache, which gives you this illusion. Her pulse doesn't indicate pregnancy either."
Shen Suqin was really annoyed by this unreasonable female comrade. She carefully took Juanzi's pulse and asked about her usual eating habits.
A major reason for nausea and stomach upset is long-term drinking of the so-called "secret recipe for having a baby", which causes gastrointestinal damage and gastroesophageal reflux.
She prescribed some medicine, and after Juanzi took it, her symptoms improved, which led Xu's mother to mistakenly believe that the child died from the medicine.
This is ridiculous.
Shen Suqin has been a doctor for decades, and her words are still very credible, neither hurried nor slow.
The people around nodded and turned to point at Xu Ma.
"Don't tell me these things are gone. The baby in my daughter-in-law's belly is gone. Just tell me how to compensate her."
Mother Xu was so angry that she twisted the soft flesh on Juanzi's arm with a look of resentment on her face.
People from the hospital security department also rushed over and prepared to take Xu Ma away.
"Don't come over here, my daughter Huiping was injured during the disaster relief.
She is still lying in the hospital. Is this how you treat the mother of a martyr?"
Mother Xu sat down on the ground, raised her hands, and started howling again.
Before the security department could even touch her, she was slapped in the face and her eyes were almost scratched by their nails.
