"You saved my life back then, and I'll remember your kindness in my heart." Xu Haicheng wrote out a check with so many zeros on it that it was dazzling. "Take this, it's enough to buy a house or start a small business."
"I will not marry you."
Zhou Taohua was at a loss as to what to do. The little hope she had in her heart was ruthlessly shattered. She looked at Fang Peilan and Jiang Li.
"Take it, you deserve it."
Jiang Li saw Xu Haicheng's attempt to draw a clear line between the two, and she felt very sympathetic towards this unfortunate woman.
The man I loved when I was young mistook his benefactor for his own sister. She has lost her beauty over the years, and the man is no longer the same as before.
Jiang Li persuaded her to accept the check, saying that real money was more reliable than those fleeting feelings.
Zhou Taohua, however, kept shaking her head with tears in her eyes. She didn't come here for the money. Just seeing him was enough for her.
"We, the Xu family, owe you a favor. You should live with me in the old house for a while, take good care of yourself, and check your throat."
Fang Peilan also looked down on Xu Haicheng's deliberate use of money to humiliate others. Wasn't it just for the sake of a man's face that he used innocent people as a punching bag?
Zhou Taohua wanted to refuse, but Fang Peilan insisted, "Since I brought you here, I must cure your illness. When you are well and find a job, I will let you go."
Fang Peilan had her own plans. She put the person under her nose. On the one hand, she could check whether what she said was true or not. On the other hand, she could also be responsible for her.
Otherwise, Zhou Hui might react and steal the things in the hands of this poor woman.
The surgery went smoothly. Chen Jing has been smiling more in the dormitory these days. This person has a goal in life and is different.
After class, a group of girls in Room 302 gathered together and talked. Some girls who had never given birth saw that Jiang Li was visibly pregnant, and they were very curious and asked a lot of questions.
Chen Jing took some children's clothes and tiger-toe shoes and gave them to Jiang Li, "I made them myself, don't mind."
The clothes are made of soft, fine cotton, comfortable and breathable. The tiger-toe shoes are stitched one stitch at a time, with an exquisite style that shows great care.
"Thank you! I love it."
"You're only one month old and you're already thinking about making clothes for me, Jing, you're really thoughtful."
Chen Jing was a little embarrassed to be praised, "I don't have anything to show for myself. Making something is nothing compared to what Li has done for me. It's nothing at all."
"I don't know if the baby is a boy or a girl, but it's definitely a pretty baby."
Several girls were laughing and joking, and suddenly a loud quarrel broke out in the classroom.
Yu Qianjin pointed at Sun Yulian's nose and cursed at her, using foul language frequently, and even slapped her in the face.
Sun Yulian just covered her face with her hands and cried, and then she pulled his clothes and begged him desperately, but Yu Qianjin pushed her away and left angrily.
The classroom was silent. Sun Yulian came in crying to get something, then chased after Yu Qianjin in the direction he was walking.
"Yulian, you're not going to the next class?"
The students in the classroom looked at each other in dismay. Wang Hong said, "Yu Qianjin is really a piece of shit. He hit a female comrade. If this happened in our hometown, he would have been elbowed to death on the spot."
"You'd better stop talking. Isn't that how it usually is? They are both willing to fight and be beaten. If you interfere, Sun Yulian will be unhappy!"
“That’s right!” Wang Hong was loyal, but she was not a wronged person. She had intervened in such trivial matters once and was scolded by Sun Yulian, so she was too lazy to intervene a second time.
But this time the noise seemed particularly unusual. Sun Yulian had not returned to the dormitory until after eleven o'clock in the evening.
Wang Hong, the head of dormitory 302, could not sit still any longer and told the department teachers about it. Except for Jiang Li, who did not live on campus and went to the hospital to accompany Chen Jing, the rest of the girls went to the hospital to look for her.
Zhu Zhu found them first, and Sun Yulian squatted at the door of Yu's house waiting anxiously. When she saw her teachers and classmates, she became like a madman.
"Sun Yulian, what's wrong with you? Is it ok for you to stay in the street instead of going back to your bedroom so late? Your teachers and classmates are very worried about you, don't you know?"
"Hurry and come back with me. This time you have violated the school discipline too seriously. The department must punish you!"
Sun Yulian seemed not to hear what was said, but when the teacher came to pull her away, she remained stubborn and refused to leave.
During the struggle, Sun Yulian's body softened and she fell down.
The next day in class, several girls looked constipated, and Jiang Li asked them about what happened last night.
Seeing that no one was around, Zhu Zhu lowered her voice and said to Jiang Li, "Sun Yulian is pregnant, but we don't know who the child is.
The teacher went to find Yu Qianjin, but he refused to admit it, saying that the child had nothing to do with him and must be her country boy named Chang Jinguang.
"Sun Yulian actually talked to two people! You can't judge a person by his appearance!"
"What's even more outrageous is that Yu Qianjin said that Sun Yulian was a second-hand commodity and that she was dating him while still married. He suffered a loss."
"I think Sun Yulian may not be able to stay in school this time."
In the hospital, Sun Yulian looked pale and lifeless. Chang Jinguang stood beside her, his eyes full of distress.
"Yulian, drink some water."
Sun Yulian turned her face away and refused to drink.
"You can't just not eat or drink like this, what are you going to do with the baby in your belly?"
Sun Yulian said nothing, but just burst into tears. Just now, the school teacher came over and told her about the punishment for this matter. She was expelled.
Because the news that Yu Qianjin cheated on her at school was widely spread, now all the teachers and students in the school knew that she was pregnant before marriage and had two men hanging around.
"Yulian, don't cry, I feel bad for you. When you get married, we'll get the certificate. That way, no one will say we're having an affair.
It doesn't matter if we don't want to study, as long as we live well, that's better than anything else."
Chang Jinguang spoke softly, reaching out to tidy up the hair on Sun Yulian's cheek, but she dodged him, "What about your wife in the countryside?"
When Chang Jinguang mentioned Ding Wenyu and thought of that group of fierce women in the countryside, he shuddered subconsciously.
Before returning to the city, he swore everything in front of Ding Wenming, flattered Ding Wenyu, and promised to take them over when he found a job. This successfully deceived their family and got away.
But compared to that rude and fierce woman Ding Wenyu, Sun Yulian in front of him was the one he held dear to his heart, "You know, Yulian, you are the only one in my heart.
I will never go back in this lifetime, so let’s just live well here.”
Sun Yulian was full of resentment towards the man who ruined her plan. If he hadn't suddenly appeared in front of her and begged her, if it hadn't been for that foolish night.
She would not be pregnant, and would not be discovered by Yu Qianjin.
