Liu Qiang went forward and saw that his wife was also in the crowd. He squeezed over and grabbed Li Xiufang and pulled her out.
"What are you doing here? Why don't you just talk it out instead of fighting?"
Li Xiufang was almost crying. "Lao Liu, I'm so sorry. I used the living expenses you gave me to invest in Li Guiying. She said I could open a shop and make money, and give me dividends at the end of the year. I believed her and gave her the money. Who knew I was cheated? We can't get our money back!"
"You're a spendthrift woman!" Liu Qiang scolded, "I can't even support you with my money anymore, why invest in you?"
Li Xiufang muttered softly, "Well, I just want to make more money for my family!"
Seeing that the women were getting more and more courageous, Liu Qiang advised Li Xiufang to
"Don't move here, I'll go and separate them!"
Liu Qiang and two other soldiers pulled the sisters-in-law apart, and when they pulled one away, they rushed over to another one. It was endless. Li Guiying was beaten to the ground. Liu Qiang saw that the situation was not good, so he hurried upstairs.
"I'll go get some help!"
When Liu Qiang asked Yun Muye to come down together, Luo Weiguo also came. Although he was arguing with his wife, he could not bear to watch her being beaten. He stepped forward and pushed through the crowd to protect Li Guiying. Li Guiying was beaten black and blue, but the women were still not satisfied.
"Captain Luo, what about our money?"
Luo Weiguo protected Li Guiying with a gloomy expression.
"I will pay you back every penny she owes you."
"That sounds nice, but when can you pay me back?"
Luo Weiguo took out a roll of money from his pocket and handed it over. "Here's thirty yuan. I'll return it to you first. I'll pay you the rest after I get my salary. I mean what I say! I will pay it back."
Yun Muye and Liu Qiang stood aside and watched, preventing the women from fighting again. Suddenly, Li Guiying fell to the ground, holding her stomach.
"My stomach hurts! Weiguo! Help me!"
Luo Weiguo picked her up and ran to the health center. The women were all shocked.
"She looked like she was bleeding on her pants."
"Isn't it a miscarriage?"
"Don't scare me! It's just a coincidence."
At the health center, Luo Weiguo ran in holding Li Guiying. Shen Huaian was sitting at the table writing files. He raised his head when he heard the voice, and stood up to greet him.
"What's going on? Put him on the bed quickly, let me check him out!"
Luo Weiguo put the person on the bed, and Shen Huaian checked and found that she had a miscarriage.
"She had a miscarriage. The baby was only a little over a month old and she's gone."
“What!” Luo Weiguo was shocked and heartbroken, Shen Huaian advised:
"Take her to a big hospital in the city. Miscarriage is no small matter. She needs to be properly cared for. It might affect her next pregnancy. My small clinic can only treat minor illnesses like colds and fevers."
Luo Weiguo had just given all his money to his sisters-in-law. He had no money left. Going to a big hospital would cost a lot of money. Abortion was not a trivial matter and required proper care. All of this would cost money. Luo Weiguo warned:
"Doctor Shen, please take care of her for me. I'm going out for a while."
“Okay.” Shen Huaian agreed.
Luo Weiguo ran to the gate and called his family to borrow money. Luo's mother cried poorly, "The little money you give me every month is not enough for my medicine. How can I have money to give you? I have no money!"
Luo's mother hung up the phone, Luo Weiguo sighed, and ran to Yun Muye's house. Yun Muye opened the door, and Luo Weiguo humbly said,
"Muye, can you lend me some money? Guiying had a miscarriage and I need to take her to the hospital. I will pay you back as soon as possible!"
It's true that a penny can make a hero fall. Yun Muye felt bad when he saw the man of integrity begging for money.
"Okay, how much do you want?"
"Thirty." Luo Weiguo said with difficulty.
Yun Muye took out thirty yuan from his pocket and gave it to him.
"Here, take my sister-in-law to the hospital to make sure she doesn't get sick."
"Okay, thank you." Luo Weiguo took the money and hurried downstairs. Yun Muye closed the door. Gu Zhinian sat on the sofa and looked at him.
"Who is it?"
"Luo Weiguo." Yun Muye sat next to her. "Wife, Luo Weiguo's wife had a miscarriage. He asked me to borrow thirty yuan to go to the hospital, and I gave it to him."
Gu Zhinian blinked, "Miscarriage? Was she beaten?"
"It should be."
Gu Zhinian: "This is a big deal. They got rid of Li Guiying's child. Will Li Guiying sue them in court again?"
Yun Muye was puzzled. "Li Guiying is quite knowledgeable about the law. She knows to go to court to file a complaint whenever she encounters any problem. Few women from rural areas go to court to file a complaint, and even those who grew up in the city may not think of filing a complaint."
Gu Zhinian pursed her lips. That was because Li Guiying had experienced a lifetime and knew more than others. She knew how to use legal weapons to protect herself. Unlike some women nowadays, who think it is natural to be beaten to death by their husbands. It is really sad and lamentable.
Li Yuling came over and said, "Son, are they going to cheat you out of thirty yuan again?"
Li Yuling had been cheated before, so anyone who asked her to borrow money looked like a scammer and she was always too suspicious.
Yun Muye said, "No, Captain Luo is not that kind of person. He is an upright person and would not lie."
Li Yuling nodded. "Just be aware of the situation and don't let anyone fool you."
Li Yuling no longer cared about this matter and talked about the wedding with her son and daughter-in-law.
"Zhi Nian, nowadays people need three big things for their weddings. Let Makino take you to buy a sewing machine, a bicycle, and a radio someday."
Gu Zhinian replied: "Mom, don't we already have these things at home? Why do we need to buy them?"
"This is your betrothal gift. You need to buy a new one." Li Yuling said, "I'll pay for it."
Yun Muye stopped her, "Mom, I should have paid for it, not you!"
Li Yuling rushed to say, "Before he left, your father left me a passbook with several thousand in it, just enough to buy a betrothal gift for Zhinian."
Gu Zhinian held Li Yuling's hand and said, "Mom, we already have these three big items at home. There's no need to buy new ones. If you don't think they look good, you can exchange them for money. I won't refuse!"
Li Yuling pointed at her forehead and said, "You silly girl! Other people's weddings are so busy asking for gifts from their in-laws, but you don't want anything!"
Gu Zhinian curled her lips. Could she say that she looked down on those things? If you have money, of course you should buy things you like. If you buy things you don't like and keep them there, it will only be a nuisance.
