Chapter 243: Turning Away
Chen Lan was lying on her stomach with someone on top of her. She suddenly felt dizzy and a huge pain came from her stomach.
Mrs. Chen rushed over and pushed Xu Ma aside. She struggled to help Chen Lan up and called for help.
I accidentally touched something and my hand was sticky. I looked down with horror in my eyes.
Chen Lan's face was pale, her eyes were closed, and her whole body was convulsing in pain.
Seeing this scene, Mother Chen’s eyes went dark and she almost fell forward.
"Lanlan——"
Chen Lan clutched her stomach, the pain was so severe that her lips were bleeding from being bitten by her teeth.
I felt something flowing out of my body, and a sense of panic swept over me.
She was wearing a pair of black cotton pants today, and the blood stains were barely noticeable.
No, nothing must happen to her child!
"Brother, hurry... take me to the hospital."
Brother Chen hugged Chen Lan and rushed out the door. Everyone else in the compound came out when they heard the noise.
Aunt Pi was looking out the door. She was close enough to see Chen Lan holding her stomach. She seemed to be thinking about something and twisted her toothless mouth.
Tiezhu next to him rolled his eyes and ran out.
The Xu family members who came running behind looked at each other in bewilderment. Juanzi helped her mother-in-law, whose face was bruised and half-dead, up from the ground.
Before he could stand firmly, he was knocked down by Chen Ma and slapped in the face.
Chen Ma sat on the man, grabbed his hair, and yelled:
"You guys from the Xu family hit someone and you still want to run away? I'll beat you to death!"
Xu Ma's mouth was slapped, and she was twisting on the ground, waving her hands around, and pushing her head hard against Chen Ma's chest.
As he moved, he quickly wiped up the blood stains on the floor, and there was a mess of hair on the floor.
On the side, Mrs. Chen was waving a big broom and beating several big men from the Xu family who were working hard.
"You are such a heartless person! My little sister was hit so hard that she fell to the ground. You, the Xu family, need to pay for it!"
Juanzi's face was swept by the broom and almost poked her eyes. She hid behind Xu Laosi and blamed her mother-in-law even more in her heart.
Boss Xu and the second brother were also hit several times. When they reached out to touch Mrs. Chen, the woman shouted "you are a hooligan" and they could only grab the tip of the broom.
The scene was in chaos.
Old man Xu considered himself a very particular person. He just stood there with his pipe in hand, watching as Aunt Chen got tired of beating him.
After coughing several times, he said loudly, "Sister Chen, you've been fighting for so long, can you take a break?"
Mother Chen snorted coldly, stood up, and still feeling unsatisfied, kicked again.
The two families went into the house to discuss something. Just as Aunt Pi was about to follow them in, the door slammed shut, almost hitting her nose.
He lay down and listened through the crack in the door for a while, but didn't hear anything, so he quickly left cursing.
Mother Chen picked up a bench, and Mrs. Chen tactfully wiped the dust off it with her sleeve.
"Old man Xu, my daughter Lanlan was knocked to the ground by her and was sent to the hospital. She still doesn't know what happened. Your family must pay some compensation."
Old Man Xu continued laughing: "Sister, she is just a fool, this happened by accident.
How about this, I'll give you five dollars as compensation, okay with that?"
Aunt Chen slammed the table and said, "Five dollars, you're giving alms to a beggar.
Twenty! Not a cent less! "
Juanzi was unhappy: "Twenty! Why don't you just go and rob it? It only costs one or two dollars to go to the hospital after falling down."
Mrs. Chen glared back: "Why are you butting in when my mother is talking? Do you know the limits?"
Old Man Xu finally made the decision: "Ten yuan at most. I can't take out more than that."
"Okay, ten dollars is ten dollars. Give me the money quickly. I need to go to the hospital in a hurry."
Old man Xu glanced at the eldest brother who was silent beside him, the fourth brother who lowered his head, and the old woman who was leaning next to Juanzi, still moaning.
He sighed and finally took out a big unity note from his pocket.
Aunt Chen snatched it away and put it in her trouser pocket.
The Xu family quarreled for most of the day and ended up losing ten dollars. It was really not worth it.
After the fight, Mother Chen rushed to the hospital.
She was also praying in her heart: the baby in her daughter's belly will be fine, it's a golden egg!
…
"Did you really see Chen Lan fall?"
"Really? I saw it with my own eyes. They were all sent to the hospital."
"Okay, I get it. Go away. Here's the remaining candy. Don't come looking for me again."
Tiezhu sniffed, his eyes glued to Tang, so he couldn't hear anything.
He nodded randomly and walked back with a bag of candy.
After Qin Weihong and the other brats left, he laughed triumphantly:
"This time, the child is definitely not going to be saved, right?
No, I have to go tell my uncle the good news."
Now that the child is gone, her uncle must be disappointed.
But it wasn't her child, so she couldn't hide her gloating expression.
…
Good Chen Lan was lying on the hospital bed with a pale face, her eyes dull, staring at the ceiling, unable to utter a word.
The child was still not saved. He fell and died.
He clutched the bed sheet with both hands, and hated the Xu family completely in his heart.
Brother Chen sat on the chair, feeling as if there were thorns under his butt, and asked carefully:
"Big sister, do you want to eat something?"
Chen Lan was thinking about something. Now that the baby in her belly was gone, she had lost the bargaining chip she had to control Hao Jianjun.
She needed to think about how to get away with it.
Maybe she could put the blame for the child's incident on Qin Weihong?
For example, he was accidentally pushed by Qin Weihong and rolled down the stairs.
The more he thought about it, the more feasible it seemed, and a hint of ruthlessness appeared on his face.
Seeing this, Brother Chen hid to the side and remained silent.
"Lanlan, where's the child? Is the child okay?"
Mother Chen stumbled in and immediately lifted the quilt covering Chen Lan. When she saw her deflated belly, she was immediately horrified.
"Why is my eldest grandson gone?"
Chen Lan's consciousness was interrupted: "Alright, alright, can you please keep your voice down?
Are you eager for everyone to know that my child is gone?"
Chen Ma was choked back with the rest of her words, and said to her son beside her:
"Go and pay the money quickly. How much will this hospital stay cost? You should just go home and recuperate."
Chen Lan opened her mouth to say something, but when she thought about the money in her pocket, she became discouraged.
She used to spend money lavishly and didn't save much money.
Now that the child is gone, her mother's expression has really changed in an instant.
In the end, Chen Lan was taken home again.
…
The New Year is almost over. Walking on the street after the New Year, I can clearly feel the difference.
The most obvious thing is that there are more red armbands on the streets than before.
Gao Xiulan hasn't gone to Lao Liu to exchange eggs recently. She will wait a while to see if she can buy an old laying hen.
The situation is tense and more evil spirits are emerging. We should be more cautious in our actions.
When Xie Yi took Lin Xiaotong to the hospital for a check-up on his bike, he also brought his marriage certificate with him.
As expected, I was stopped by a red armband at the hospital gate. After checking, I was waved to and allowed to enter.
The young couple didn't force it, but went straight to the hospital and went upstairs to find Chen Suqin.
