"So, Niu Lina's unborn baby still couldn't be saved?"
"That's right. I heard that Liu Wenzheng put a large dose of abortion pills in the bottle of water he gave her, and she drank it all. She was only two months pregnant, so how could she handle such a high dose? When she got to the hospital, the doctor immediately said the baby was definitely gone."
Feng Yan chattered away, saying that the hottest topic in school these days was the fact that Niu Lina had an abortion due to drugging by her fiancé.
Cheng Maixiang sighed. Although she had tried her best, she was powerless to save the situation. In the end, an innocent little life was lost.
He Qiuhua saw her gloomy look and smiled and said, "Maizi is such a good person. Niu Lina was so against you, yet you still helped her."
"That's right," Feng Yan agreed, nodding. "Everyone in our class said that. Originally, you could have just stood by and watched. It wasn't you who asked Liu Wenzheng to harm her, after all. But not only did you warn her, you even tried to stop him. You really are a good person."
A good guy? Not really.
Cheng Maixiang never thought of herself as a good person, and she was even less willing to be a so-called saintly white lotus. If others bullied her, she would fight back fiercely.
But she has a clear bottom line in her mind when doing things. No matter what, she must not hurt innocent people, especially children who know nothing.
Perhaps this is also related to her status as an orphan in her previous life. She does not allow others to hurt young and ignorant children casually.
The little life in Niu Lina's belly was taken away before it even came into this world or opened its eyes. If he knew that the person who took his life was the father who gave him life, I wonder if he would be sad and desperate.
"By the way, has Liu Wenzheng been arrested?"
If this kind of thing happened in later generations, Liu Wenzhen could be prosecuted for intentional injury. Although Cheng Maixiang was not sure how Liu Wenzhen would be dealt with forty years ago, she could guess that many things could be settled privately among the people.
As expected, Feng Yan snorted disdainfully, "That bastard, after he drugged Niu Lina, he planned to hide and wait until the storm died down, but he didn't expect Zhao Linlin to reveal his whereabouts. His father beat him up so badly that it seemed like his legs were broken.
The Niu family was about to report the case, but Liu Wenzheng's mother went to the Niu family crying and begging them. She knelt in the Niu family yard for five hours, agreed to pay a large amount of compensation, and promised to let Liu Wenzheng marry Niu Lina. Only then did the Niu family let Liu Wenzheng go.
This was basically what Cheng Maixiang had expected. If Liu Wenzhen's parents didn't want him to be taken to the police station after something like this happened, they had no choice but to take this approach.
"Liu Wenzheng did such a bastard thing, and Niu Lina's parents still agreed to let their daughter marry such a scumbag?"
He Qiuhua couldn't believe it.
Feng Yan sighed and said in a condescending tone, "What else can we do? Niu Lina's reputation has been ruined by this incident. Which good family would want to marry someone who's pregnant before marriage? I guess the Liu family knew this, so they offered to marry Niu Lina in exchange for Liu Wenzheng not being arrested by the police."
"What about Niu Lina? What's her attitude?"
"She, what else could she do? After something like this happened, she refused to listen to her parents' arrangements. I guess there was no other way. But it can be considered a blessing in disguise for her. I heard that Liu Wenzheng's parents have forced Liu Wenzheng and Zhao Linlin to divorce. To compensate Zhao Linlin, they gave her a university recommendation. Zhao Linlin got what she wanted. If the commune hadn't blocked her, she would have left the countryside completely."
As expected, the person who benefited the most from all this was Zhao Linlin. Perhaps since she instigated Niu Lina to cause trouble at the Liu family, all the outcomes were in her control.
Women in this era are so sad. Just because they don't know how to judge people, they are harmed by scumbags. They have no other way to go except to commit themselves to the scumbags. Or they are forced to do so because of the saying that people's words are scary. Should we condemn the gossip of the world, or should we feel sorry for the misfortune and be angry at the women for not fighting back?
Cheng Maixiang has always hated Niu Lina, but after this incident, she actually felt a sense of sympathy.
After all, she had just come to this world and married a scumbag, and was framed by him. If she had not come from the future and was familiar with the direction of the plot and chose to trick the scumbag, I am afraid she would have followed Niu Lina's path now.
But compared with Niu Lina, she is particularly lucky. In addition to her strong heart and fearlessness of rumors, more importantly, she has Lin Jiayu. He chose to be with her, which became her powerful umbrella of protection and reversed the remarks that might hurt her.
Today, she has become the envy of rural girls. Many people take her as an example and start working hard for a better life.
She was lost in thought when Feng Yan beside her suddenly pulled her aside and said, "Look, someone from the Niu family is here to take Niu Lina's things that she left in the dormitory."
After this incident, Niu Lina was too embarrassed to continue studying in school. Besides, even if she was not afraid of what others would say, the school had to consider the impact, so they arranged for her to drop out immediately.
The two elders of the Niu family carried their thin luggage and walked out of the campus amid the pointing and talking of the crowd. Their backs, which were already a little bent, became even more hunched, and the prematurely gray hair on their heads was particularly eye-catching.
"Oh, I used to really dislike Niu Lina, but seeing how pitiful her parents are, I can't help but sympathize with her. But she's so devoted to Liu Wenzheng, and this time she finally got what she wanted. Who knows, maybe things will get better after they get married."
When Cheng Maixiang heard Feng Yan sigh like this, she couldn't help but shake her head secretly.
Will things really get better after marriage?
