He hadn't heard Hua Lin mention being pregnant, so when he heard her say she had miscarried, he assumed she had some kind of illicit affair.
Hua Lin was sweating from the pain and grabbed Wang Shengli's pants, saying, "Wang Shengli, you heartless bastard, I'm your wife, and I'm carrying your child."
Wang Shengli still didn't believe it: "Then why didn't you say you were pregnant before?"
Hua Lin's hands were already trembling: "Because it's only been a short time, I'm not sure yet. I'm at home every day, with so many people in your family watching me. How could I not be found out if something happens? Hurry up and take me home."
Wang Shengli thought about it and realized that Hua Lin really couldn't have done that. Seeing the blood on the ground, he was also scared and picked up Hua Lin and ran home.
Blood dripped onto the ground as he ran, it was quite frightening to watch.
Hua Kai and Ye Yifan were unaware of this. They returned home and were about to have dinner.
We had just finished eating and hadn't even cleaned up yet when Li Jing arrived.
Hua Kai gestured for Li Jing to sit down, but Li Jing didn't sit down, saying, "You don't know, do you? Hua Lin is in trouble."
Hua Kai and Ye Yifan just saw Wang Shengli and Hua Lin fighting and thought they were injured.
So Hua Kai asked Li Jing, "Did Wang Shengli hurt Hua Lin?"
Li Jing said, "Hua Lin miscarried again. She doesn't seem to know she's pregnant. She got into a fight with Wang Shengli and fell down, and then she miscarried. We just found Old Li's four-wheeler and took her to the township hospital."
Hua Kai was somewhat surprised, because she thought Hua Lin and Wang Shengli were fighting, but she never expected a miscarriage. However, this had nothing to do with her; it was her own doing.
Gu Lanyan said, "The New Year is almost here. I'll take some eggs and millet to visit tomorrow. I should be back by tomorrow. We're all relatives, so we can't let outsiders say anything."
Hua Wanjiang said, "That's true. Regardless of whether the child is sensible or not, we have to put on a good show."
Li Jing said, "I heard that the car didn't turn out well when it was towed away, and it might not be back tomorrow."
Hua Kai didn't know much about this, so she didn't say anything, since she didn't understand.
Ye Yifan didn't understand either, so he didn't say anything.
Actually, Li Jing didn't really understand either; she just overheard Gu Lanyan and the others talking about it before running off to deliver the message.
When Gu Lanyan heard Li Jing say that Hua Lin wasn't doing well, she had a few guesses in her mind and said, "If it's really serious, then she'll probably have to go to the city."
Hua Wanjiang said, "It's really unlucky that this happened with the New Year just around the corner."
Hua Kai said, "Dad, it was all Hua Lin and Wang Shengli's own doing. Just now, Ye Yifan and I saw them go to Second Uncle's house. They didn't look like a couple at all; they looked like enemies. They started fighting after only a few words."
When Hua Wanjiang heard Hua Kai say that she had seen them, she quickly asked, "Then Hua Lin's matter has nothing to do with you, right?"
Ye Yifan said, "It's okay. We came back as soon as they made their move, and we don't know what happened after that."
Gu Lanyan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good. Just don't get involved with them."
Hua Kai said, "No, they're not worth us taking action against."
Gu Lanyan said, "That's true, my daughter isn't one to cause trouble." After saying that, she didn't want to talk about Hua Lin's unlucky things, and said to Li Jing, "Xiao Jing is becoming more and more like a city girl, she's getting pretty."
Li Jing scratched her head and said, "No, I've only been in the city for a few months."
Gu Lanyan said, "Girl, you're capable, that makes all the difference. It has nothing to do with being in the city for a few months. Your parents are really happy this time."
Li Jing said, "Then I also have to thank Hua Kai and Captain Ye, otherwise I wouldn't have the good life I have now."
Hua Kai said, "You can't say that. You've helped me even more. This is a powerful alliance between us. I can't live without you now."
Li Jing smiled and said, "I know you're trying to put my mind at ease. I'm not stupid. I promise I'll work hard and not let you down."
Hua Kai laughed: "Why are you making such a formal occasion? By the way, Ye Yifan bought a lot of vegetables today, take some home with you."
Li Jing said, "No need. I took my dad to the city today and bought a lot of groceries. It was the first time my dad had gone to the city with me to buy New Year's goods, and he was so happy. Hua Kai, thank you so much for bringing so much joy to our family."
Hua Kai said, "If you keep being so polite, I'll have to see you out. But you should really take Aunt Feng and Uncle out to see more of the world when you have the chance. I should also encourage my parents to go to the city more often. The more people go out and see, the broader their horizons become, and the more farsighted they will be."
Ye Yifan agreed: "Indeed, it's better to travel ten thousand miles than to read ten thousand books. It's only right to go out and see the world."
Hua Wanjiang said, "If it were before, when I heard you say that, I would definitely think that it's good enough for people to have enough to eat and wear. But now I also think that it's good to go out and see the world."
Li Jing said, "The more knowledge a person has, the more willing they are to improve. Yesterday, my dad said he wouldn't go to the city with me, saying I was just making a fuss. But today, after we went, he talked to me for two whole hours about the city and said he'd take my mom with him next time."
Gu Lanyan said, "Yes, I'll bring your mom next time."
Hua Kai said to Gu Lanyan, "Mom, you and Aunt Feng can go to the city to shop whenever you have time. It's convenient for us to go to the city anyway."
Gu Lanyan said, "Okay, I'll ask you, Aunt Feng, to go out for a stroll together later."
They talked for a while longer, until it was completely dark, and then Li Jing went home.
Ye Yifan stayed here tonight. Hua Kai told Ye Yifan about her idea from the daytime, which was about making diapers. She didn't mention sanitary napkins, saying she'd talk about that later; it was a little awkward to bring it up now.
Hua Kai drew the shape of a diaper on paper and explained it to Ye Yifan.
After listening, Ye Yifan said thoughtfully, "I've heard of this abroad, but I don't know if it exists in China. I don't have much experience in this area."
Hua Kai said, "Since you've heard about it, then you can do it. We don't need to copy others. Let me tell you my idea: we'll find someone to design it, then register our own brand, and if possible, we can even apply for a patent."
Ye Yifan was quite interested in this: "I need to find someone to study this process. It needs to absorb water, remove odors, prevent backflow, and keep the surface dry."
Hua Kai said, "Yes, the cost should be reduced as much as possible, since it is a one-time use item. But I think it is really useful, whether for children or the elderly. Of course, people who are not well-off at the moment may not choose it, but I believe it will become the choice of most families after everyone's income rises and their quality of life improves."
After all, decades later, diapers will be used by every child, sanitary napkins will be indispensable for women, and adult diapers will be essential for hospital care.
