After Lu Wanqing became pregnant, Lin Ye wanted nothing more than to keep her by his side, and even considered resigning.
"Aye, you can't be so irresponsible. Just finish this semester! I'm really fine." Lu Wanqing earnestly advised him.
Lin Ye had no choice but to continue going to school. However, since Du Wenbing was the vice principal and was now in charge of the school's work, his classes were scheduled for the morning, so he didn't have to go in the afternoon.
Lu Wanqing's work continued, but her original idea of making thirty cheongsams a month was changed to a matter of fate; she would make as many as she could, as Lin Ye did not want her to work too hard.
When Elaine Chao heard that she was pregnant, the first thing she did every morning was to run to her and put her ear to her belly to listen to the sounds inside.
Actually, it was just her stomach rumbling, but she was as happy as a child, dancing around with joy.
After finishing her cheongsams each day, she would start researching how to make clothes for her babies. Three babies, how many clothes would she need to prepare!
There are also blankets, shoes, bibs, diapers, and a lot of other things to prepare!
As for food, Lin Ye's cooking became more refined and nutritious. He specifically asked the older members of the team for pregnancy recipes and made a different meal for Lu Wanqing every day.
To ensure she received adequate nutrition, Lu Wanqing emptied the container of malted milk powder and filled it with prenatal milk powder, drinking a cup every morning and evening.
Sometimes, while drinking her baby formula, she would get excited thinking about her previous life. She hadn't been able to protect her three babies that time, and in this life, she was determined to protect them.
Unexpectedly, these happy and peaceful days did not last long, and rumors about the child being Qi Wei began to spread throughout the brigade.
Lu Wanqing hadn't left the house for many days. The rumors were told to her by Chen Xiangxiu that Lu Wanqing was pregnant with Qi Wei's child. Otherwise, why hadn't there been any news before? She only became pregnant after Qi Wei came.
She was furious. How could anyone make up such a baseless story, and even believe it?
She didn't know that human nature is like that; there are always some people who can't stand to see others doing well.
If you don't own something, you can annoy those who do and make them feel a little resentful, and that will make you feel better.
Lu Wanqing quickly came to a conclusion. Let others talk; once the child is born and looks just like Lin Ye, the rumors will naturally disappear.
Lin Ye, however, was unconvinced. He believed in Lu Wanqing and did not want her to bear such gossip.
He quickly made inquiries from various sources and confirmed that the rumor originated from Zhou Ling.
Because of the incident of pushing Lu Wanqing into the water, before he even had a chance to find her, he walked right into the line of fire. This time, Lin Ye went to the Zhou family without hesitation, fists raised.
Upon seeing Zhou Ling, he looked at her face and punched her.
Since the attack had come right to their doorstep, Zhou Changsheng immediately stepped in front of Zhou Ling, glaring angrily at Lin Ye and saying, "What are you doing? If you hit someone again, I'll call the police."
"Alright, hurry up and report it. Last year, my wife fell into the water, and it was your good daughter who pushed her. When the police come, they can take her away. Pushing someone into the water and spreading rumors—these two charges combined will be enough to keep her in jail for several years." Lin Ye's voice was sharp.
Zhou Changsheng looked at Zhou Ling in disbelief and asked sharply, "Did you really do this?"
Zhou Ling covered her face, seeing stars from the pain, and grabbed her father's trouser leg with a mournful expression: "Dad, don't call the police, please don't! If that happens, the police will definitely ask Qi Wei to testify, and he will hate me to death."
With a sharp "smack," Zhou Changsheng slapped her face hard as well. "I don't have a daughter like you. I used to think you were just being willful, but I never imagined you could do something like murder!"
"Dad, as long as I deny it to the death, Lin Ye has no evidence. Please help me!" Zhou Ling cried.
Zhou Changsheng kicked her away and said to Lin Ye, "Lin Ye, I'm handing this beast over to you. Do whatever you want with him!"
After he said that, Lin Ye didn't know what to do!
They've already hit her, but if they hand her over to the police, they really can't produce any evidence, so it'll probably just be left like this.
To be honest, Zhou Changsheng's old fox tactic of feigning retreat actually worked.
Just as Lin Ye was wondering what to do, Lu Wanqing came over carrying a snowball.
Lin Ye rushed over to help her up.
Lu Wanqing came here to deal with Zhou Ling's matter thoroughly.
Zhou Ling is a vicious person. Letting her stay in the team will only cause trouble. We must take this opportunity to get rid of her.
“Uncle Zhou, since you say you can do whatever you want with her, then we won’t be polite. We’ll give you three days to make her disappear. If she shows up at the Victory Brigade again, then blame us for being ruthless. You probably don’t know, but the police now have a method called fingerprint identification. Simply put, it’s about finding the owner of a fingerprint by looking at the fingerprint left on clothing. I still have the clothes I was wearing when Zhou Ling pushed me!”
Lu Wanqing spoke to Zhou Changsheng in detail.
After hearing this, Zhou Ling's face turned completely pale. She believed Lu Wanqing's lies without a doubt, collapsed to the ground, and became more and more frightened as she thought about it, until she finally fainted.
Lu Wanqing glanced at Zhou Ling one last time, her lips twitched, and she took Lin Ye's hand and left.
Regardless, Lu Wanqing was determined this time that if Zhou Ling didn't leave, she would send her away.
The Zhou family was thrown into chaos, and the group discussed what to do with Zhou Ling.
"You're not going to just stand by and watch Ah Ling go to the detention center, are you?" Guo Hongxia said with a bitter face.
Zhou Chang was angry and frustrated. "What can we do? We have to pay for our own mistakes! If she hadn't pushed Lu Wanqing into the water, Lu Wanqing and Lin Ye wouldn't have gotten together, and our family's luck wouldn't have been ruined by them!"
If it weren't for the fact that Zhou Ling is his daughter, he would have kicked her out long ago.
At this moment, daughter-in-law Meng Jiao suddenly said, "Lu Wanqing only said that Zhou Ling should not join the Shengli Brigade, so let's marry her off. The girl I introduced in the county town last time is well-off and is willing to pay fifty yuan as a bride price. Wouldn't that solve her problem?"
“That idiot in the county town? Didn’t you say he was short and dark-skinned, drooled all the time, and couldn’t even speak properly? Marrying Ah Ling to someone like that would be ruining her life!” Guo Hongxia was still a little hesitant.
Zhou Changsheng and Zhou Tianbao, however, advised her that marrying a fool was better than going to a detention center. They said that if a criminal came from the family, no one would be able to hold their heads up high anymore.
Guo Hongxia had no choice but to reluctantly agree.
While Zhou Ling was unconscious, Meng Jiao changed her into a relatively new red dress and took her to the home of the mentally challenged man in the county town overnight.
When she woke up again, she and the idiot had already consummated their relationship, and the idiot was shirtless, staring at her with a silly grin!
She screamed in shock and led Guo Hongxia into the house, only to find out that her family had already sold her to a mentally challenged man, and had even brought her household registration book and a letter of introduction.
