Chapter 35 The Pregnant Woman
Once someone commits murder, it's impossible for them to remain so calm, at least not in this manner.
However, even if the murderer is not a member of the Ma family, the death of the eldest cousin must still be related to the Ma family.
Anyway... it's dark now.
Seeing that no one spoke, Jin had no choice but to bite the bullet and say something.
It was already dark, and Chen Dahua insisted on going back to her parents' home instead of staying overnight and leaving early the next morning. That would probably be a big problem.
Moreover, since the Ma family had no say in the matter, not a single one of them tried to persuade them to stay.
If Chen Dahua went back to her parents' home, and Ma Laosan didn't come to pick her up the next day, that speaks volumes.
"My poor daughter!"
Having witnessed the Ma family's attitude firsthand, Wang Jinhua was even more unable to bear it. In the past, she had been deceiving herself and refusing to admit that she had pushed her daughter into a pit of fire.
She always thought that once Dahua had a son and firmly established himself in the Ma family, he would have a good life ahead of him.
Unexpectedly, the Ma family was indifferent, and not a single person spoke up for Da Hua.
Wang Jinhua was crying and sobbing, while the Ma family members remained indifferent, especially Ma Laosan, who was already very impatient. He didn't want to stand outside in the freezing cold.
"Third Brother, who's here?"
A delicate, sweet female voice came from inside the courtyard. Then, a young woman wearing a fox fur cloak walked to the door.
"They are from the Chen family."
Upon hearing the noise, Ma Laosan's expression immediately changed. He turned and went inside, helping the young woman out, and said, "Why aren't you warming yourself on the kang (heated brick bed) in this freezing weather? What are you doing out here?"
Ma Laosan's words sounded like a complaint, but they actually contained a hint of concern.
The two clasped their hands together, exchanging glances.
The Chen family members immediately widened their eyes in disbelief.
Ma Laosan is already married, yet he still has an ambiguous relationship with other women, and he dares to be so presumptuous in front of them!
Anger clouded Chen Lin's judgment. He stepped forward, grabbed Ma Laosan by the neck, and roared, "Who is this woman?"
"What are you doing? How rude!"
The young woman retreated like a rabbit, hiding behind Kim, and stroked her belly with her hand.
One of her movements made it clear to the Chen family that the woman was obviously pregnant!
Now, the Chen family understood everything. They were furious and wished they could burn all the shameless bastards from the Ma family to death!
Ma Youde wanted to send the man away, but as soon as he was about to speak, he suddenly remembered something.
No wonder the man next to Chen Tieniu looked familiar. This man was a local official. Could it be that the Chen family reported him to the authorities?
Even government officials shouldn't interfere in other people's family matters, but Ma Youde still remained polite.
“Father-in-law and mother-in-law, our third son handled this matter improperly.”
Ma Youde smiled apologetically and explained the various reasons.
The heavily pregnant woman, Li Niang, who had just left home, was a young widow living alone in town. Her third son had gone to town on business and had met Li Niang by chance.
Originally, it was only because of these comings and goings, and the fact that a lone man and woman were under the same roof, that they made a mistake.
Ma Laosan regretted it afterward, but then he thought, what man isn't a wealthy man with many wives and concubines?
Since Chen Dahua had never had a child, Ma Laosan's guilt towards Chen Dahua vanished completely.
After that, whenever Ma Laosan went to town, he would stay at Liniang's place, and the two became intimate and deeply in love.
Before long, Li Niang became pregnant, and this could no longer be hidden.
Liniang's family had a modest fortune, but it was still more substantial than the Ma family's. Whenever Ma Laosan came to town, Liniang would always treat him to good wine and meat.
Moreover, Li Niang is more open-minded and knows more about romance than the wooden Chen Da Hua, making him extremely happy.
When Ma Laosan learned that Liniang was pregnant, he immediately took her to see a doctor, who said that Liniang was carrying a boy.
