Chapter 539 Stillbirth
The brilliance of gold is dim in this quiet little house, but it is dazzling enough.
"Bang!" The rear window seemed to be pushed and hit by the wind.
Ye Rou glanced over and caught a glimpse of a black shadow passing by, and smiled.
The two people in the room didn't notice anything was wrong.
Cai Shenghua jumped back, as if this was not gold but flowing magma that would burn her feet.
"Auntie, where did you get these gold bars?"
Wang Hong put the gold back into the wooden box: "My father left it to me."
There were originally a lot of them, but Cai Gensheng took some out to exchange over the years, leaving only this small box.
During the famine, she fled to the capital with the box of gold.
She was spotted at a rescue station and a man dragged her away. Finally, Cai Gensheng arrived and beat the man to death, saving her.
He didn't mind that she had lost her virginity and even helped her kill someone.
From then on, Wang Hong was devoted to Cai Gen and finally married him.
After listening to Wang Hong's past in silence, Ye Rou narrowed her eyes slightly, as if something was wrong.
Cai Shenghua took a step forward, as if wanting to comfort the old lady, but didn't know how.
"It's all in the past," Wang Hong said. "If it weren't for Cai Gensheng, I would have died long ago. He wants me to give him this life, as a way of repaying him for saving my life."
Her weathered and wrinkled hands stroked the wooden box.
"I originally wanted to leave this box of gold to Zhenli, but now I have changed my mind."
Wang Hong had experienced the despair of others, so when she heard that her daughter had actually handed her niece over to Li Gang, she was angry and disappointed, but helpless.
No matter what, this is her daughter and she will never blame Zhenli.
She could only try her best to make up for it.
Wang Hong pushed the wooden box toward Cai Shenghua, "This is Auntie's apology to you on behalf of Sister Zhenli."
Ye Rou looked at Cai Shenghua.
The little girl leaned her head against her chest, her expression unclear. The fists at her sides clenched little by little, becoming tighter and tighter, with veins bulging from the top to the back of her hands.
"You've obviously experienced it."
Cai Shenghua suddenly spoke, causing Wang Hong to look at her.
The usually quiet and weak little girl raised her head, and there was a freezing coldness on her pretty face.
"I don't hate Sister Zhenli for not saving me," Cai Shenghua said with hatred, "but she knew that Li Gang was hell, but she still dragged me into it."
"You've been through the same thing, yet you come to me with a wooden box of gold asking for forgiveness, don't you think you're ridiculous, Auntie?"
Cai Shenghua suddenly took a step forward and stared into Wang Hong's eyes.
"Auntie, let me ask you, if the man who hurt you came back to life and apologized to you with gold, would you forgive him?"
Wang Hong's eyes flickered, and her hand pressing on the wooden box seemed to be burned, so she quickly withdrew it.
Cai Shenghua sneered, with undisguised malice on her pretty face.
Wang Hong sat weakly on the chair, her wrinkled face full of bitterness.
"Beep, beep, beep"
Cai Shenghua and Wang Hong looked in the direction of the sound.
Xiubai's delicate finger bones tapped the table, and Ye Rou calmly dropped a bombshell: "Cai Zhenli is not Cai Gensheng's daughter, right?"
Bang!
Cai Shenghua was blown to pieces, and the expression on her face was out of control: shock, stupefaction, astonishment, surprise... dozens of emotions flashed across her face.
Wang Hong, the target of the bomb, remained expressionless. Under Cai Shenghua's gaze, he slowly nodded.
"After I got married, I found out I was pregnant. I knew the child wasn't Cai Gen's, so I wanted to abort it, but Cai Gensheng stopped me."
When Wang Hong recalled those years, a happy smile appeared on her face.
"He said he doesn't mind and will treat the child like his own."
"It's really one thing leading to another." Ye Rou suddenly spoke, interrupting Wang Hong's happy memories.
She demanded, "What do you mean?"
Ye Rou supported her face with her hands. Her posture was not very dignified, but it looked particularly beautiful when she did it.
"Have you never thought about why it was such a coincidence that Cai Gensheng saved you?"
Cai Shenghua covered her mouth and said, "Doctor Ye, are you saying that it was my uncle who planned it all back then?"
Wang Hong's eyes turned cold, and she subconsciously denied it, "Impossible!"
"Think carefully, who was the first to discover that you had all this gold?"
Ye Rou's voice was filled with magic, penetrating Wang Hong's eardrums and transforming into an invisible hand, stirring up her already blurred memories.
"Where did you meet him?"
Wang Hong's pupils were dilated, and she said blankly, "Aid station."
"There are so many people in the rescue station, how did you remember him?"
“He helped me on the first day at the aid station.”
Ye Rou smiled slightly: "Did he help you move the boxes?"
"Yes!" With Ye Rou's voice, the vague memories in Wang Hong's mind became clearer.
The scene from that year reappeared in her mind.
Wang Hong walked into the rescue station with her last bit of strength.
The rescue station was cooking porridge, and the aroma of rice floated above the rescue station.
Wang Hong fell in front of the shelter. She had no strength to get up and her eyes were fixed on the iron pot of porridge.
A strange young man came over, and only the younger ones followed him.
Rewatching this memory, Wang Hong discovered key details.
She threw the wooden box down, and the lid opened a crack.
Cai Gensheng, who was about to walk past her, caught a glimpse of the things in the wooden box, paused, and naturally turned to Wang Hong, reaching out to help her up.
After that, everything that happened was so natural.
She was married to a man named Cai Gensheng, who became her savior. He did not mind that she had lost her virginity. She willingly married him and gave him a wooden box of gold.
I see.
He planned everything just for her wooden box of gold!
These years have been a complete joke.
"Ha ha!"
Wang Hong suddenly burst into laughter.
Cai Shenghua was startled and hid behind Ye Rou.
Ye Rou pressed on, "He's killing you now because you're no longer useful to him. Cai Zhenli isn't his biological daughter. Once she's no longer useful to him, what will happen?"
Wang Hong's smile froze and her thin body hunched over.
After a while, she suddenly asked, "What do you want to know?"
Seeing that she had figured it out, Ye Rou immediately asked, "What did you know back then that required you to pretend to be mute for so many years?"
Wang Hong didn't answer immediately, but demanded, "I'm telling you, you have to save my daughter's life."
"I promise you." Ye Rou added, "I won't let anyone hurt her unless she wants to die."
Since ancient times, beautiful women have been considered a disaster and a source of trouble, unable to protect themselves and the source of war.
Ye Rou is also a very beautiful woman, but no one will underestimate her.
Because what she said carried weight.
It was the first time Wang Hong met her, but she believed that she would do what she said.
She leaned back and said, "Zhenli gave birth to a stillborn baby."
Cai Shenghua was shocked, "Whose child is Xiaoxia?"
"I don't know." Wang Hong smiled bitterly and shook her head.
Thirteen years ago, she still remembered that it was a rainy day.
She accompanied her daughter during the birthing process for a whole day and night. Zhenli cried out in pain, and Wang Hong's heart ached.
Cai Gensheng disappeared after taking his daughter back.
Wang Hong didn't have time to think about him and devoted all her attention to her daughter.
The midwife who was helping with the delivery saw that the baby couldn't be born and was afraid that something might happen, so she tried to run away several times, but was held back every time.
When Cai Gen grew back, the baby's head finally appeared.
The daughter cried in pain. Wang Hong grabbed her hand and encouraged her, not noticing that the midwife's face looked strange.
After the child was born, the midwife quickly wrapped the baby.
Wang Hong took a quick glance and saw that the exposed skin of the palm-sized baby was purple.
Her heart skipped a beat and just as she was about to take a closer look, the midwife had already taken the child away and given birth to Cai Gen.
After Wang Hong settled her daughter down and wanted to see the child, what was handed to her was a skinny, crying baby.
Wang Hong hugged the child, but her heart felt cold.
She had already noticed something was wrong.
That night, Cai Gensheng secretly took a package and went out while she was sleeping.
Wang Hong followed him secretly and saw him digging a hole in the woods from a distance.
She hid behind a tree and covered her mouth tightly to prevent herself from crying out loud.
The next day, she went to see the place where Cai Gensheng had dug the hole, and carefully dug up the soil. Inside was a pale purple baby!
Wang Hong's heart was broken.
Cai Gensheng was cautious by nature, and he went to check the pit again the next day.
Although Wang Hong tried her best to restore the truth, she was still afraid that he would become suspicious, so she simply caught a cold and became seriously ill. From then on, she pretended to be mute.
Only then did Cai Gensheng feel relieved about her.
"That's all I know." When Wang Hong talked about this again, she still felt heartbroken and her breathing became slightly heavier.
"I don't know whose child Cai Xiaoxia is, and I don't dare to find out."
No wonder.
The first time Ye Rou saw Cai Xiaoxia, she felt that she looked familiar.
Now that I think about it, this little girl's eyes and eyebrows actually look very much like Tian Zihui!
Things are getting more and more interesting.
Suddenly, there was a noise outside the courtyard.
Cai Shenghua looked outside and asked, "What's going on?"
Ye Rou stood up, curled her lips and smiled, "The show is about to begin."
