"Why is it so gloomy today? Yue'e, don't forget to bring an umbrella when you go to work." Xia Yu'e looked outside the house. The strong wind blew down a lot of leaves.
Old Mrs. Xia responded and, seeing the strong wind, moved in several pots of flowers that had been planted by the river at the back door. "The weather changes so suddenly. It was sunny yesterday, but why does it look like it's going to rain heavily today?"
Xia Yu'e: "If there's nothing else important, try not to go out. The wind is too strong."
Old Lady Xia nodded and said, "Hold a meeting with my subordinates today to discuss what to do next. Once a decision is made, report it to the factory director."
Xia Yu'e coughed a few times. "The weather is bad, and I'm coughing again. Don't always argue with Director Song. He's the leader and you're a soldier. You have to be humble. Now we're bringing Xiangbei with us, and he must be tired too."
Old Lady Xia: "He's tired, but I think he's enjoying it. Okay, I get it. Wear more clothes. Even though it's hot, coughing all the time is not a big deal. I'll take you to the hospital on my day off."
Xia Yu'e: "It's not that precious. I went to see it myself. It was just a cold wind blowing in. It's a minor ailment. I've even got the medicine."
Old Lady Xia pulled her sister to look at her face. It looked okay. "Then don't go out today. Close the doors and windows and lie down for a while to rest."
After Old Lady Xia left, Xia Yu'e took out the calligraphy copy and began to copy it stroke by stroke.
When Old Lady Xia arrived at the factory, she immediately began to work energetically. She had recently resolved a lot of issues, and their textile factory had become famous. Don't say she was exaggerating, now the female comrades in their textile factory were very confident when they went out.
The morning passed like this, and after everyone in the conference room left, Old Mrs. Xia prepared to go to dinner.
But before he could even pick up his lunch box, he saw Chen Xiangbei running towards him in a panic, "Mom, something happened! My little brother outside said my second brother was arrested."
Old Mrs. Xia's aluminum lunch box fell to the ground with a loud "bang".
She had just met Chen Xiangnan a few days ago and talked to him. How come he was arrested so suddenly just when she heard him say that he wanted to be a good father?
You were staying in the hospital peacefully, but you got into trouble again?
"What's going on?" Old Mrs. Xia grabbed Chen Xiangbei and walked out.
Chen Xiangbei was furious, his mouth chattering non-stop: "There's a guy named Zhao Hui. Because the unknown father of his child was exposed, many people were implicated, including my second brother. He was taken away from the hospital by the police this morning. My second brother is so shameless. For causing such a thing, my second sister-in-law might as well divorce him."
Old Lady Xia suddenly stopped and said, "Father unknown, Zhao Hui?"
Chen Xiangbei gritted his teeth and said, "Yes, my younger brother said that those men are now in the Public Security Bureau. Zhao Hui's husband beat up every one he saw. My second brother was also beaten. He deserved to be beaten. Beat him to death."
Old Lady Xia: "Zhao Hui's husband?"
Chen Xiangbei's younger brother found out everything about Zhao Hui in one morning. "After Zhao Hui separated from her previous husband, she got married to a bachelor from our suburbs. They said the child was born to a bachelor.
After raising the child for half a year, the man recently discovered that the child was not his, and then he started to make a fuss. But Zhao Hui herself didn't know whose child it was, and when she saw someone was trying to arrest her, she decided to go all out and expose all the men she had been with before.
After Chen Xiangbei got the news, he immediately asked for leave for himself and Old Lady Xia, and rushed over to find someone.
The two hurried out together and happened to bump into a young comrade with an anxious look on his face. He looked a little familiar. Before Old Lady Xia could think, she heard him say, "Brother Xiangbei, something happened. Your second sister-in-law is about to give birth and is bleeding."
Old Mrs. Xia's mind went blank. She trembled as she borrowed a bicycle from the security department and asked Chen Xiangbei to take her to the hospital to see Tang Jiao.
Someone is going to die. Tang Jiao is still two months away from giving birth. If she gives birth now, wouldn’t it be premature?
Tang Jiao is such a good person, how could she be so blind? She is really going to be killed by the second brother.
Chen Xiangbei rode very fast without even saying a word. The most important thing now was not whether his second brother could come out, but whether Tang Jiao would get into trouble.
His second sister-in-law is such a good person, and his whole family are good people. Good people will never get into trouble. Even if something is going to happen, it will be him or his second brother. If all else fails, let his father get into trouble.
With tears in his eyes, Chen Xiangbei bit his lips and pedaled with all his might.
"What a sin, what a sin." Old Mrs. Xia, an ambitious old comrade in the new era who only wanted progress after her divorce, sat on the back seat of the bicycle and prayed to all the gods she knew in her heart, just hoping that nothing would happen to Tang Jiao.
When they arrived at the hospital, all the members of the Tang family were there. Tang's mother's eyes were slightly red, as if she had been crying.
Old Lady Xia came running over. "What's wrong? How's Jiaojiao?"
When Tang's mother saw her, she rushed over and hit her, "How could the good son you raised do such a thing?"
Old Lady Xia let her hit her, "It's my fault, I didn't teach her well, it's... Jiaojiao, nothing must happen, it must not happen."
Chen Xiangbei saw that they were all angry. His second sister-in-law should still be in the operating room. He didn't know what was going on. It was right for the Tang family to be angry, but his mother was also pitiful for being beaten. His second brother did this himself and made his mother and everyone in the Tang family become like this.
"Aunt, if you want to hit me, just hit me to vent your anger. It was my second brother who did it. When he gets out, even if you beat him to death, my family won't say a word." Chen Xiangbei used his body to protect Old Lady Xia.
Tang's father pulled Tang's mother back and said, "Alright, the most important thing now is to wait for Jiaojiao to come out."
Tang's mother burst into tears again. "My belly is so big. If...if something happens, how am I going to live? This damn girl, after choosing carefully, why...why did she have to be with him, Chen Xiangnan?"
Old Mrs. Xia's eyes also turned red.
Chen Xiangbei helped his mother sit aside and said, "Mom, it will be okay. It will definitely be okay."
Old Lady Xia cursed, "This bastard, this bastard, he made a mistake and let others pay for it. If anything happens to Tang Jiao, how can I face their family in the future?"
Outside the operating room, people were crying and cursing, and everyone was in a state of anxiety.
While Chen Xiangbei was worried, he also felt that the Tang family was truly kind. Even at this point, no one was calling his second brother a labor camp prisoner, or asking why someone other than his family should die.
He simply vented his anger, and even cursed Tang Jiao the most for not being able to judge people well.
The operating room door opened and everyone gathered around.
"Doctor Li, how is my Jiaojiao?"
"Jiaojiao, are you okay? Are you safe?"
"Nothing happened, right? Nothing happened."
