"I don't!"
Li Hongli became stubborn and she knew that if she apologized, she would have no good life in her husband's family from now on.
"It's obviously your mother who's making trouble here, why are you only blaming me!"
Xu Xiaodong was so angry that he raised his hand and slapped him without thinking.
Li Hongli was slapped in the face, and the burning pain immediately numbed half of her face. She staggered for a moment before steadying her footing by holding onto the table behind her.
Inside the room, the crying mother-in-law Ma Xiufen stopped for a moment.
Xu Cuicui's eyes were full of pride, and she advised hypocritically: "Second brother, why did you hit her? She is pregnant with our Xu family's eldest grandson."
She was being sarcastic on purpose.
Xu Xiaodong slapped Li Hongli, looked at his hand, and suddenly felt relieved. He pulled Li Hongli over again: "Hurry up and apologize to my mother."
Li Hongli was pregnant with a big belly. Mumu was pulled over and stared blankly at her mother-in-law Ma Xiufen who was helped up by Xu Cuicui.
Ma Xiufen was still wiping away tears, but her crying was much quieter: "Why should I apologize? We are all family. I am so old, and I have suffered all kinds of grievances in my life. This is not a big deal."
At this time, Li Hongli finally reacted: "Ah - ah -"
She screamed loudly, like crazy, turned around and rushed towards Xu Xiaodong and punched him: "You bastard, you shameless thing, you dare to hit me? You actually hit me? I will fight you!"
At this time, she completely forgot about her stomach.
Xu Xiaodong was caught off guard and was grabbed by her on the face, and he subconsciously pushed her hard.
Li Hongli fell directly to the ground, her face instantly turning pale.
"My stomach... hurts... it hurts so much."
She sat on the ground, holding her stomach, shaking uncontrollably.
Ma Xiufen was stunned by the sudden change, and subconsciously grabbed Xu Xiaodong and ran out.
Xu Cuicui was stunned for a moment, then quickly followed him out.
The first thing the family of three did was to run away.
Running out of the door, Ma Xiufen suddenly asked, "Xiaodong, tell me, if something happens to Li Hongli, will her mother not forgive you and send you to jail?"
Xu Xiaodong was stunned for a moment: "That's really possible."
"What should we do? Li Hongli's belly is more dangerous than that of an average person. Will she die if you push her like that? The baby is only eight months old. There is a high probability that she will not survive after being born. She is in danger this time." Ma Xiufen slapped her thigh anxiously: "Why did you push her? You could have slapped her twice in the face. Why did you push her!"
At this time, she regretted it.
Xu Xiaodong was a little panicked.
Xu Cuicui suddenly said, "Mom, let's just say she didn't stand firmly and fell down, isn't that enough?"
Ma Xiufen was getting anxious, but after hearing what she said, she suddenly understood: "Yes, yes, just say she fell by herself. If she says you pushed her, your sister and I will testify that she fell by herself."
"What should we do? Should we send him to the hospital now?" Xu Xiaodong was a little scared. They had only been married for half a year, and he didn't want his dead wife to be laughed at by others.
Ma Xiufen is a timid person and she doesn't dare to kill anyone.
"Hurry up and take the boxes off my tricycle and get her on." She then called out to Xu Cuicui, "Go find her mother and tell her that we have no money and ask her to go to the health center to pay."
Xu Cuicui agreed and went.
Ma Xiufen was carrying Li Hongli, who was sweating from the pain, onto the tricycle.
When Li Hongli was alone in the room, she was so scared that she cried. Why did they all run away? Were they going to watch her die alone?
But when her mother-in-law Ma Xiufen and Xu Xiaodong were about to take her to the health center, her courage came back and she started crying and cursing at Xu Xiaodong: "Xu Xiaodong, you are not a human being. I was pregnant with your child, and you hit me and pushed me."
"Xu Xiaodong, I'm telling you, if you kill me, my mother will never let me go. She will make you pay with your life and put you in jail!"
She kept cursing in a shrill voice.
Xu Xiaodong suddenly slapped Li Hongli's head against the wall, his eyes wide open, and he said viciously: "Go ahead and curse me! If you curse me again, I'll beat you to death!"
Li Hongli had a terrible stomachache and hit her head against the wall again, she was completely stunned.
Fear could not help but condense in her eyes. Xu Xiaodong now did not have the sweet talk he usually had. It was as if he really wanted to kill someone.
She closed her mouth in fear and looked at Xu Xiaodong with fear, not daring to say anything.
Ma Xiufen, who was standing by, was also shocked. Why did her son's attacks become more and more ruthless each time? However, her son was the one who beat him, not the one who was beaten. She felt proud and said hypocritically, "Hongli, Xiaodong has such a temper. You are his wife. If you don't understand, don't deliberately make him angry. Look, you are beaten again."
At this time, Li Hongli was sitting in the bed of a shabby three-wheeled bicycle, not saying anything. She was very scared that Xu Xiaodong would really attack her.
Ma Xiufen was riding a bicycle in front. The road in the dilapidated alley was a dirt road, bumpy and uneven. Li Hongli was in so much pain that she felt like she was having cramps all over.
The neighbor next door had heard the news earlier and leaned out to see: "What's going on? I heard your Hongli screaming again."
Xu Xiaodong explained with a worried look on his face: "Hongli fell accidentally, I will send her to the clinic now."
"Oh, we have to go and check it out quickly. Her belly is so big, I hope something bad happens to her." said the neighbor.
After they walked away, the neighbor showed disdain in his eyes: "Li Hongli's face was so swollen, and she fell. I guess Xu Xiaodong beat her up."
"Why do you mind his family's business? I think Li Hongli is not a good person and she is stupid." His wife said in the yard.
People nowadays can hardly live their own lives, so they are too lazy to meddle in other people's affairs. They just say a few words and let it go.
Chen Xiaoying was finally taking a break when she saw Li Hongli's sister-in-law Xu Cuicui running over anxiously: "Auntie, Li Hongli fell down. My mother has taken her to the hospital and is waiting for you to pay the fee."
Chen Xiaoying was still counting the bills: "What did you say?"
The third daughter-in-law, Zhao Xueyan, had just cleared the leftover dishes from the last table of guests when she was also shocked: "Hongli fell down, what happened to her?"
She's already eight months pregnant, and if she falls, it's no joke.
Besides, Li Hongli was originally in bad shape and had problems, so nothing could go wrong.
"It's not good anyway, you'd better pay the money quickly." Xu Cuicui was impatient to deal with Li Hongli's family. In her opinion, Li Hongli was not a good person, and her family members were not stupid good people either, especially her family member Chen Xiaoying.
She is so rich, but she is reluctant to spend any money on her brother.
Chen Xiaoying immediately dropped the calculator in her hand and started making a phone call.
Li Hongli is selfish and values life very much. It is impossible for her to fall down by herself. It must be Xu Xiaodong who assaulted her.
In their previous life, the couple fought every other day. Because Li Hongli knew how to fight with all her might, when they fought, even if she got bruised and battered, Xu Xiaodong would not suffer any loss.
But now she was pregnant and she was the only one who got beaten.
