Chapter 83 I won't allow it
Xia Fanxing smiled faintly and said, "I was just passing by when I heard some noise inside. Did something happen?"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Laosi's already slightly flushed face turned even redder.
He shook his head and waved his hands repeatedly, "It's nothing, just a little friction, it's nothing serious, I'm really sorry to have bothered you."
Faced with his flawed performance, Xia Fanxing didn't press him for details. She simply advised, "Although Comrade Qiao Feitian has made many mistakes, she is still carrying your child. No matter what your emotions are, think about the child more in everything you do."
Old Zhu nodded vigorously, like a rattle-drum.
Xia Fanxing said, "Then I'll be going now. If you need anything, feel free to come find me."
"Nurse Xia, take care!" Zhu Laosi waved vigorously to Xia Fanxing from the doorway.
Only after Xia Fanxing's figure had completely disappeared into the night did he close the door and go back inside.
Zhu Laosi originally wanted to go out to get something to eat, but as soon as he stepped out, he saw Xia Fanxing, and a nameless anger rose in his heart, making him feel utterly irritated.
Inside the room, Qiao Feitian was lying on the floor.
Under the dim, flickering kerosene lamp, one could vaguely see that she was in a miserable state, her face bruised and swollen.
As soon as Zhu Laosi returned to the house, the honest and kind facade on his face was removed, just like a mask.
He kicked Qiao Feitian impatiently, as if he were kicking a cat or dog.
"Alright, stop pretending. I only slapped your face, not your stomach. Why are you lying on the ground unable to get up? Get up and see if there's anything in the house you can cook. I've been beating you for ages and I'm starving!"
Qiao Feitian did not faint, but she really wished she had.
She lay on the ground, head down, tears streaming down her face.
Her eyes were swollen not only from being hit, but also from crying too much for too long, making it almost impossible for her to see clearly.
She couldn't understand how she, a transmigrator, had fallen to such a state.
She had a winning hand at the beginning, so how did she end up in the hands of a man like this?
Zhu Laosi is truly inhuman!
What honesty and integrity? What dullness and simplicity? It was all an act!
He fooled everyone!
He's a pervert!
If he's so capable, why doesn't he go and exchange blows with Xie Jingchen? Why does he only dare to beat her at home?
And she was pregnant!
"I'm talking to you, did you hear me? Are you dead?" Seeing that Qiao Feitian had no reaction, Zhu Laosi squatted down, grabbed her hair, lifted her face, and slapped her again.
Qiao Feitian's face was bruised and swollen, and her former beauty was completely unrecognizable.
She stared intently at Zhu Laosi, spitting out a mouthful of blood, and retorted stubbornly, "Go ahead and hit me, keep hitting me! If you've got the guts, then kill me! See if you'll have a good life after I'm dead! Even if I've made a mistake, I'm still a living, breathing person. If you kill me, you'll be committing a crime and you'll go to jail!"
Qiao Feitian tried to intimidate Zhu Laosi with these words, hoping to make him fear her and perhaps make her life a little easier.
But to her surprise, Zhu Laosi wasn't afraid at all; instead, he laughed.
"Do you think I'm stupid? How could I possibly kill you? You're my wife. I finally got a wife, of course I have to treat you well."
Originally, Zhu Laosi wasn't ugly; he was the kind of person you wouldn't notice at first glance in a crowd.
But at this moment, as he spoke these words, his face was contorted and twisted, accompanied by a deranged smile, making him look exceptionally terrifying.
"I'm going to take good care of you, and I'm going to have you bear me many, many children. You know what? I've had a dream since I was very young: how wonderful it would be if I had a dozen or so sons. So don't worry, I won't kill you. I want you to fulfill my dream."
Upon hearing this, Qiao Feitian immediately began to struggle frantically.
"I don't want to give birth, you might as well kill me! Just kill me, kill me right now!"
Qiao Feitian has finally figured it out.
She didn't want to live like this for another day; she'd rather be dead!
Living is hell, but if she dies, she might be able to return to the modern world.
She never wants to transmigrate into a book again!
She doesn't want any male lead or the pinnacle of life.
Now she just wants to live the ordinary, mundane life she used to think she had!
Zhu Laosi stopped wasting words with Qiao Feitian. Since he couldn't eat real food, he could eat another kind of "food".
He won't touch Qiao Feitian because she's pregnant, but who says there's only one way?
"Get away from me! Don't touch me!!"
Zhu Laosi remembered what Xia Fanxing had said not long ago, and he could hear the noises coming from his house from outside.
So he found a rag and stuffed it into Qiao Feitian's mouth, so that she could only make muffled noises and wouldn't be heard by the neighbors and cause gossip.
The night was long, and Qiao Feitian kept crying.
She truly regretted it, but she also truly hated it.
She secretly vowed in her heart that she must never let Xia Fanxing find an opportunity. If she did, she would make Xia Fanxing pay back a thousand times over!

Political Department of the Division Headquarters.
A man in his fifties was pacing back and forth in front of the window with his hands behind his back.
He had a buzz cut and a lean build, yet he stood as straight as a poplar tree, showing no signs of old age.
There was a knock on the office door, a muffled "knock, knock" sound. He heard it, but didn't answer.
The people outside persisted, continuing to knock on the door.
About three minutes later, as if he could no longer tolerate the persistent noise, he said irritably, "Come in."
The person who entered was Xie Jingchen.
Xie Jingchen held his marriage application in his hand, but it had not yet been signed or stamped.
As soon as he entered the room, he went straight to the point and asked, "Sir, why don't you approve of my marriage application?"
Lei Ming's eyes were astonishingly sharp, like those of a hawk, seemingly able to pierce through the skin and see directly into the soul.
He stared at Xie Jingchen for a full minute.
But Xie Jingchen showed no fear whatsoever, meeting his gaze without shifting his eyes.
Lei Ming took the marriage application report from Xie Jingchen, glanced at it, and suddenly slammed the report on the table without warning, roaring angrily: "Xie Jingchen! Has the sun in the Gobi Desert made you lose your mind?"
"Who are you going to marry? Xia Fanxing! Do you know who Xia Fanxing is? I've seen her file, she's a capitalist's daughter! And who are you? You're a revolutionary soldier, a regimental commander!"
"Which side are you on? Do you even know what kind of situation you'd face if someone of your status married a capitalist's daughter?!"
