Chapter 48 Zhou Da acknowledges the child
Cao Xiaoqing and Jin Shengli have a good impression of each other. Seeing Jin Shengli being beaten, Cao Xiaoqing asked Jin Shengli what happened and pointed at Jiang Haoran and said, "Shengli just said it casually. Your reaction is too intense. It's obvious that you have done something wrong."
Jiang Haoran pointed at Cao Xiaoqing angrily and said, "Get out of here. What's your business?"
Cao Xiaoqing said, "As an old educated youth, you bully us new educated youth. I will report this to Captain Zhou."
Cao Xiaoqing ran to find Captain Zhou.
After a while, Captain Zhou and the village chief and his wife came, followed by many villagers.
After asking two people, it turned out that the village chief criticized Jin Shengli just for a sentence.
"How can you, a man, just say that a girl looks pregnant?"
Cao Xiaoqing said, "Village chief, Wang Yanhong really looks like she is pregnant. I think so too. She wants to snatch food from children when she sees them eating. Who would do such a thing?" The village chief's
wife didn't say anything, but just stared at Wang Yanhong's eyebrows.
Wang Yanhong's eyebrows were spread out and stood upright.
Wang Yanhong felt guilty.
She was very conflicted. On the one hand, she didn't want to expose the pregnancy and embarrass herself, but on the other hand, she wanted to expose the pregnancy and let Jiang Haoran take responsibility for her.
Jiang Haoran's eyes were slightly cold, with a warning.
The village chief's wife saw it all and pulled the village chief aside.
After the village chief came back, he said to Wang Yanhong: "Everyone should make concessions. I will let Jin Shengli give you a gift and apologize, and this matter will end here."
Wang Yanhong said nothing and looked at Jiang Haoran.
Jiang Haoran turned his head away.
The village chief gestured to Jin Shengli to apologize, and Jin Shengli reluctantly said sorry.
...
Pregnant people tend to feel sleepy, and Wang Yanhong lay down on the kang to sleep after dinner.
Cao Xiaoqing kept staring at the sleeping Wang Yanhong. Tang Xiaotian asked her what she was looking at, and Cao Xiaoqing shook her head. She
always felt that Wang Yanhong was a little different from other female educated youth, but she couldn't tell exactly where the difference was.
When observing carefully, a corner of paper sticking out of Wang Yanhong's trouser pocket caught Cao Xiaoqing's attention.
Cao Xiaoqing carefully pulled a piece of paper out of her trouser pocket.
Seeing the words on it, Cao Xiaoqing hurriedly asked Tang Xiaotian to take a look.
Tang Xiaotian looked at it and widened her eyes in disbelief: "What Jin Shengli said was actually true, how can she accept his apology?"
Cao Xiaoqing immediately took the inspection form and called the people in the Youth Institute to see it.
"It's bad!" Jiang Haoran saw the inspection form in Cao Xiaoqing's hand and thought that he was going to make trouble, so he rushed to Cao Xiaoqing to snatch it.
Cao Xiaoqing saw him coming towards her, crumpled the inspection form into a ball and threw it to Jin Shengli.
Jin Shengli took the paper ball and opened it, and immediately shouted: "Everyone come and see, I was right about Wang Yanhong's pregnancy, not only did she not admit it, but she also asked me to apologize to her, how can she have the face to do that."
Now, everyone in the Youth Institute knew that Wang Yanhong was pregnant.
Tang Xiaotian ran to find the village chief. After the village chief came, he called Jiang Haoran and Wang Yanhong to the village branch.
The village chief frowned and sighed: "I wanted to save your face and get the wedding done as soon as possible. Now it's like this. How are you going to end it?"
Jiang Haoran said: "This matter has nothing to do with me. I just wanted to help Wang Yanhong keep it a secret for the time being and then make a long-term plan. I didn't expect things to develop like this."
Wang Yanhong was anxious when she heard this: "Haoran, what do you mean?"
Jiang Haoran made a gesture to Wang Yanhong. With a wink, she said to the village chief: "Wang Yanhong got pregnant before marriage. As educated youth of the same period, I am willing to take care of her, but the child is really not mine."
The village chief said: "Now everyone thinks that the child in Wang Yanhong's belly is yours."
Jiang Haoran said seriously: "If they say the child is mine, then show the evidence. If there is no evidence, please shut up."
This was said to the village chief and also to Wang Yanhong.
At this time, Wang Yanhong's heart was bleeding.
If she insisted that the child was Jiang Haoran's, and Jiang Haoran refused to admit it, what should she do?
No one would benefit from the fight.
Now she could only clear Jiang Haoran first. As long as there was the child as a bond, he would be willing to take care of her.
So, when the village chief asked Wang Yanhong if Jiang Haoran was the father of the child, Wang Yanhong shook her head.
The village chief continued to ask about the biological father of the child, but Wang Yanhong kept silent.
Just when the village chief was getting anxious and angry, someone outside the village branch shouted, "The child is mine!"
The three of them looked outside at the same time, and saw Zhou Da running towards them with a big smile on his face, followed by his widowed mother.
"Village chief, the child in Wang Zhiqing's belly is my eldest grandson." Zhou's widow's face was wrinkled with smile.
Wang Yanhong was flustered and embarrassed, and she lowered her head and dared not look at Jiang Haoran.
Jiang Haoran's face turned ashen when he saw someone claiming to be the father of the child, but at this time he could not care about being cuckolded.
If someone took over the hot potato, he would be relieved.
He immediately forced a smile and said to Wang Yanhong: "I told you that the father of the child is a responsible man. You should believe it now. Live a good life with Zhou Da. If you need my help, just tell me. I will do my best to help you."
The village chief couldn't believe what he saw.
How could Wang Yanhong be related to Zhou Da, a man with ugly appearance and rude behavior?
The village chief asked Wang Yanhong: "Is Zhou Da really the father of the child?"
Looking at the cold expression on Jiang Haoran's face and the eager eyes of Zhou Da and Widow Zhou, Wang Yanhong had no choice but to nod with difficulty.
If Zhou Da didn't show up, she could just insist that the child was Jiang Haoran's, and Jiang Haoran would not doubt it.
But Zhou Da showed up and recognized the child in her belly.
If she didn't admit it, as long as Zhou Da made public her visit to the grove, her reputation would still be ruined.
If he dragged her into other matters, she would be called a whore and a slut.
Widow Zhou came over enthusiastically, carefully supported Wang Yanhong and said, "You are pregnant, so don't live in the Youth Hostel anymore. Move back home. I will take good care of you."
Then, she asked Zhou Da to move things to the Youth Hostel.
... When
the educated youth heard that the father of the child in Wang Yanhong's belly was Zhou Da, they all showed surprised expressions.
When Tang Xiaotian came over to tell Shen Jiale, Shen Jiale was also shocked.
Tang Xiaotian said, "I don't know when Wang Yanhong was ruined by Zhou Da?"
No one thought that Wang Yanhong and Zhou Da were in a free love relationship.
Although Tang Xiaotian quarreled and fought with Wang Yanhong, as a fellow educated youth who went to the countryside, she still sympathized with Wang Yanhong's experience.
Shen Jiale looked at Tang Xiaotian.
Silly girl, you should be glad that someone stepped into the abyss for you.
