Chapter 209 Finding a Father for the Child
Li Beibei is pregnant?
Jiang Wanying was a little surprised. No wonder Li Wei saw Li Beibei coming out of the hospital yesterday. It was most likely that she went for a prenatal check-up.
But if the child in Li Beibei's belly was Fang Jiaxing's, why was it another man who accompanied her to the hospital?
There was no one at home, so Jiang Wanying rode her bike to the brigade.
Before I got there, I heard a heated argument coming from inside.
"Fang Jiaxing, I'm telling you, you have to keep this child even if you don't want it!"
It was Li Beibei's angry voice.
Jiang Wanying didn't rush in. She pushed the cart and listened at the door for a while.
Inside the house, several cadres of the brigade were troubled by them.
"Li Zhiqing, calm down!" Zhao Suqiong, the village women's leader, supported Li Beibei and advised her earnestly, "You're pregnant now. Getting excited like this won't be good for the baby!"
Li Beibei really wanted this child, and she would never let Fang Jiaxing abort it.
After she came back from the hospital for a check-up yesterday, she told Fang Jiaxing about this, but his first reaction was to ask her to have an abortion.
In the 1970s, hospitals were strictly managed and abortions required a marriage certificate or a letter of introduction from a leader, otherwise the hospital would not perform the abortion. Li Beibei refused to abort the child, but Fang Jiaxing carried her on his back and ran to the brigade to get a letter of introduction.
Finally, she found out, which led to the current quarrel.
Li Beibei seemed to have taken Zhao Suqiong's words to heart and subconsciously touched her belly. She had been pregnant for more than a month, but her pregnancy was not noticeable.
Fang Jiaxing's face was filled with gloom, and he refused to give in. "You don't have to fight! Do it yourself! I will never support him anyway!"
"You--" Li Beibei didn't expect him to say such a thing, and she became angry again.
"Comrade Fang Jiaxing! What you said is extremely irresponsible! Please be careful with your words!" Jiang Dongfang didn't want to get involved in this matter, but he couldn't let their brigade continue to make trouble like this.
The two of them had just started fighting, and Li Beibei scratched Fang Jiaxing's neck so hard that the skin was broken.
"You got the girl pregnant, and now you want her gone? Your Fang family is truly a mess!"
"Aren't you ruining someone's life? How will she ever get married in the future?"
"You don't want to take responsibility but you still want to touch others, what a beast!"
There were many villagers watching the fun nearby, most of them were women. Although Li Beibei did not have a good reputation in the village, she was still a girl after all. They all had daughters in their families, so naturally they could not stand this kind of thing.
But there were also people who spoke up for Fang Jiaxing.
"She's a girl, so how can she blame others for not loving herself?"
"Wasn't it Li Beibei who seduced Fang Jiaxing? She even ruined his marriage. Fang Jiaxing must have looked down on her, otherwise why would he refuse to keep her child even after she got pregnant?"
"Bah! Shameless bitch! In my opinion, she should be thrown into a pig cage!"
