Chapter 4 Gu Xiyue, if you don't come back, your child will be gone

Zhou Nuan felt pain, shock, fear, and helplessness, and an inappropriate thought popped up in her mind.

Even if she hadn't been harmed by the evil people outside, she would have suffered a difficult labor due to the prolonged delay in giving birth.

Suppressed pain burst out of her mouth and she gritted her teeth.

"Gu Xiyue, if you don't come back, your child will be gone!"

East of Wantou Village.

A jeep was speeding along a country road, raising clouds of dust that looked like smoke.

Inside the car, Gu Xiyue had a stern face and stared at the yellow mud road ahead without saying a word.

He received a message two days ago. It was his mother Qin Yuezhi who called. Qin Yuezhi usually wouldn't look for him unless it was something very important. The last time she looked for him, it was to tell him the good news that Zhou Nuan was pregnant.

And this time, it was only eight months since Zhou Nuan became pregnant, so it was impossible that she had given birth. There must be something urgent.

After hearing the message, he found out that something really happened. Zhou Nuan fell from a high ground when she returned to her mother's home. Although she was told that she was fine later, he still felt vaguely uneasy.

He couldn't say that he liked Zhou Nuan very much, but after marrying her, he thought that as long as she didn't file for divorce, he would be responsible for her for the rest of her life, not to mention that she was pregnant with his child.

He immediately rushed back after two days of restless work. But when he got home, he didn't see the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. He thought that his mother was cautious and must still be at Zhou's house, so he drove to Wantou Village.

The young man driving the car glanced at him cautiously in the rearview mirror, and when he saw the cold aura emanating from him, he couldn't help but shrink his head.

It is indeed Brother Yue. Such aura is unstoppable for ordinary people.

Gu Xiyue had been a soldier in the army for several years and had received many commendations for his outstanding performance. Unfortunately, he had an accident during a mission and injured his leg.

Although he seemed to be able to walk normally after treatment, he could no longer participate in the brutal training. The army originally wanted to arrange a civilian position for him, but he refused.

"Brother Yue, you really care about my sister-in-law and you even went out of your way to pick her up. I guess you and my sister-in-law must have a very good relationship."

Gu Xiyue didn't say anything, and even his eyebrows didn't move. Only the corners of his tightly pursed lips twitched slightly.

Good relationship?

On their wedding night five years ago, she kicked him off the bed. Since then, she avoided him every time he came home, as if he were a plague.

Although he admitted that he didn't hate her, there was no emotional foundation between them to begin with. Her behavior made him feel even more disappointed. Later, he simply stopped replying. When he saw her panicked and frightened face when he went back, he felt upset.

No one would believe it, but he had never touched her in the five years of marriage. He even thought that if she asked for a divorce, he would do as she wished. If he hadn't gone back to Jiang City to deal with something eight months ago, and had the time to go home to see his mother and nephew, I'm afraid they wouldn't have slept together until now.

Thinking of that night eight months ago, Gu Xiyue's eyes darkened.

My palms curled up, and I seemed to be able to feel her smooth skin, and her sad little face appeared in front of me again.

Did she have a lover? Probably, otherwise why would she be so heartbroken.

He closed his eyes and said coldly, "You are wrong."

"Ah?" The young man didn't hear clearly, and looked back at him, but for a moment he didn't see the figure suddenly rushing out in front of him.

Gu Xiyue saw it with his sharp eyes, his face changed, and he shouted, "He Tao! Look ahead!"

He Tao was startled and turned around quickly. Seeing that the car was about to hit someone, he was immediately frightened. Fortunately, he was also a skilled driver. He pulled the steering wheel hard and slammed on the brakes.

The car just brushed past the pedestrian and stopped, and the sudden emergency braking caused the yellow mud on the ground to fly everywhere.

His legs felt weak and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

Fortunately, it was Brother Yue who shouted, otherwise he would have caused a death.

"Yue, Brother Yue."

Gu Xiyue frowned and said, "Let's go down and take a look."

He got out of the car first and walked towards the middle-aged woman who was obviously frightened.

"Are you okay? Sorry, I didn't notice you... Mom?"

Qin Yuezhi was so frightened by this sudden accident that her face turned pale.

Just as Zhou Nuan said, she quietly left Zhou's house and went to the east of the village to look for the crooked tree. She was not from Wantou Village, so she stumbled around for a long time and asked several people before she found Yan's house.

Who knew that although there were people at the Yan family, the third Yan mentioned by Zhou Nuan was not there, and even the third Yan's car was driven away. She didn't know what to do until she found him, so she stomped her feet and went back to Zhou's house. Who knew that she had just taken a few steps and was almost hit by a car because of her absent-mindedness.

Before she could recover from the shock, she heard a familiar voice. When she came to her senses, it was none other than her son Gu Xiyue.

At that moment, she didn't have time to think about why he was here. She pulled him and burst into tears, "Xiyue, your wife is about to give birth! Go save her!!"

Gu Xiyue frowned.

At this time, Zhou Nuan was already confused by the pain. Waves of pain came over her, and the feeling of heaviness in her abdomen became stronger and stronger, as if something was eager to come out of her stomach.

Members of the Zhou family gathered outside the house, including Zhou Dagui, He Rongsheng, Zhou Chang, Zhou Bing, and the midwife Aunt Chen.

"What happened? Who locked the door?" asked Zhou Dagui. He was a good-for-nothing and never had a say at home.

"Mom, did you tell Erya something? Does she know?" Zhou Chang said.

He Rongsheng glared at him, then glanced at Aunt Chen cautiously.

Aunt Chen looked up at the sky and pretended not to hear.

Although she was superstitious, she was not without the ability to distinguish. She didn't want to ask too much about the Zhou family's affairs. As long as she kept the money in her pocket, it was fine.

It wasn't a big deal if the Zhou family wanted the child to die. She had killed countless girls in all the years she had been delivering babies. One more wouldn't be too much or too little.

I can just burn a few more pieces of paper money later and the matter will be resolved.

"What can I say to her?" He Rongsheng said unhappily.

She couldn't tell her to divorce and then sell her to a butcher in exchange for 2,000 yuan in dowry. This son was good, but he was too stupid and not as smart as his younger sister.

"Zhou Nuan, Zhou Nuan! Open the door! How can you give birth by yourself? Open the door quickly. If you don't let Aunt Chen deliver your baby, you will die."

There was no sound, only Zhou Nuan's uncontrollable moans of pain.

"Mom, we can't go on like this, let's bang on the door." Zhou Chang suggested.

He Rongsheng understood what he meant: if things continued like this, and there really were two deaths, not to mention the two thousand in betrothal money, he was afraid that it would be difficult to explain to the Gu family.

"Okay, let's hit it."
