After a moment of stunned silence, Xia Tianyu laughed: "Second Uncle, hit me! As long as you agree to bring Brother Su Yin to Haicheng, you can hit me however you want—just don't hit me or Brother Su Yin's baby!"
As she spoke, she protected her stomach, closed her eyes tightly, and made a face as if she were ready to die.
Now, Xia Xi was speechless.
He held up a finger, pointing it at Xia Tianyu's nose, his finger trembling violently: "You...you..."
He clutched his chest, feeling a throbbing pain there.
Xia Tianyu, however, kept her eyes closed and waited, her neck stiff: "Second Uncle, hit me! I know I'm wrong, but I don't regret it! I will never regret it!"
"That bastard, you said he's in Su Family Village?!" Xia Xi sighed and asked.
"Yes! That's his grandparents' house! I've already found out, Brother Su Yin lives in his ancestral home!"
Xia Tianyu immediately perked up and chattered, "His dad broke his leg and is recuperating at the ancestral home. There are also many uncles and elders from his family, and Su Yin's family has a lot of people!"
"The ancestral home?!" Xia Xi snorted. "That Su Family Village is a poor, desolate place that breeds wicked people! Nearly half of the criminal cases in Haicheng are related to the Su Family Village! It's a den of wolves!"
"No, Second Uncle, you're just listening to other people's nonsense! Brother Su Yin is from Su Family Village. He told me that the people in his hometown are all very kind! If someone drops money on the road, the person who finds it will go door to door to ask who dropped it!" Xia Tianyu said earnestly.
"..." Xia Xi stared at Xia Tianyu's face for a long time. "How did that cunning Xia Nan give birth to a daughter like you?"
"Second Uncle, you can look down on me, you can scold me, but you must grant my wish!" Xia Tianyu no longer cared what Xia Xi thought of her. "Brother Su Yin is my life! I can't live without him! I sacrificed Lulu's life to get the chance to be with him! I can't live without him!"
"Stop talking nonsense! Lulu died of illness on her own, what does it have to do with you?!" Xia Xi shouted angrily. "Xiao Yu, if you continue to talk nonsense like this when you get to the street, no one can save you! Your father has made countless enemies before, and now they are all waiting to bite back! It's good that Tian Lei and Tian Ting aren't in Haicheng, but now that you're back, you should be prepared to keep a low profile and keep your tail between your legs!"
"I'm not going to the neighborhood committee! I'm about to give birth, and I want to live with Brother Su Yin in Su Family Village from now on," Xia Tianyu said nonchalantly. "Uncle, you can give the neighborhood committee job to someone else; there are definitely plenty of unemployed people who would want it!"
"..." Xia Xi clutched her chest again.
After a long silence, he finally managed to say, "Since you insist on this, then... let that boy's family come and propose marriage!"
"That's wonderful!" Xia Tianyu was so happy she almost jumped up. "I knew my second uncle was the best to me! Second uncle, I'll go to Sujiazhuang tomorrow to talk to his grandparents about proposing marriage!"
"You..." Xia Xi wanted to say that it was improper for a girl like her to go, but considering that she was currently restricted from leaving Haicheng and that her friends were avoiding her like the plague, she could only nod.
Summer Rain set off the next day.
However, once he left, he never returned to Haicheng.
An hour after Xia Xi set off, Xia Xi was once again placed under quarantine for investigation.
When Xia Tianyu arrived at Sujiazhuang and came to the Su family courtyard, she was warmly received after identifying herself.
Of course, this is also related to the fact that she used the three hundred yuan Xia Xi gave her to buy a lot of gifts.
Everyone in the Su family received a gift.
Su Xueshu and Sun Qiaomei received watches.
Su Dazhi received a watch and cigarettes and alcohol.
The men received a whole carton of cigarettes, while the women received premium face cream and hair accessories from the Haicheng Supply and Marketing Cooperative.
The children received handfuls of candy.
One cannot hit a smiling face. On the day Xia Tianyu arrived at the Su family's courtyard, she received an unprecedentedly warm welcome.
Sun Qiaomei even killed a laying hen for her.
However, although everyone knew she was there to see Su Yin, they never allowed her to meet Su Yin.
They thought she was unaware that Su Yin had gone mad.
However, while being locked in the cellar, Su Yin managed to push her aside and run out when her fourth aunt, Su Cuifen, went down to get sweet potatoes.
At this moment, Xia Tianyu was surrounded by everyone like a star, with all sorts of flattering words being showered upon her.
Summer was feeling dizzy and lightheaded when a mud-covered figure rushed up to her and stared blankly at her. A few seconds later, the figure blurted out, "Ugly freak! What are you doing here?!"
Xia Tianyu jumped up: "Brother Su Yin?!"
After saying that, she burst into tears, crying out, "How did you become like this?!"
Su Yin clapped her hands and laughed, "Ugly freak! You're even uglier when you cry!"
Sun Qiaomei quickly gave a wink, signaling her second daughter-in-law Wang Qingling and third daughter-in-law Yu Baohua to hold Su Yin back, while saying to Xia Tianyu, "Girl, this child has had a fever these past two days and his mind isn't quite right. Don't worry about him, he'll be fine in a couple of days!"
"Brother Su Yin has a fever again?!" Xia Tianyu grabbed Su Yin's hand worriedly and touched his forehead. "No?!"
Sun Qiaomei frowned as she watched her get started.
Su Dazhi, who was standing nearby, tried to smooth things over, saying, "Girl, he's really been sick these past few days, that's why he's talking nonsense and his mind isn't clear! Don't take it to heart!"
Xia Tianyu finally understood. It turned out that everyone thought she didn't know that Su Yin had gone mad.
Summer Rain smiled with relief:
"Grandpa, Grandma, Uncle!"
You don't need to hide it from me anymore—I know that Brother Su Yin's brain was damaged by a fever!
During the days when his high fever wouldn't break, I was the one who took care of him.
Dear family, please rest assured!
Now that I've come to Sujiazhuang, I'm determined to settle down here!
Moreover, I will definitely find a way to cure Brother Su Yin!
After she finished speaking, everyone fell silent.
They exchanged glances and realized that the girl in front of them must have a serious problem!
It's very likely a problem with his brain!
At this moment, Xia Tianyu stood up, patted her belly, and said a little embarrassedly, "Actually, I'm already... pregnant with Su Yin's baby."
Upon hearing this, everyone present was stunned, even the battle-hardened Sun Qiaomei was at a loss for words.
After a long pause, she asked tremblingly, "Girl, what did you say?!"
Summer Rain repeated it again:
"I'm pregnant with Su Yin's baby. I want to give birth to him and raise him with Su Yin!"
