Chapter 186: Escape and Tell the Truth

"If my Yiping marries Chu Sangning, the house and money will all belong to Yiping, and I can live like a city dweller in the future."

Old Mrs. Luo was still dreaming about the future. She told Zhao Jiayun how good and beautiful Chu Sangning was, complaining with regret, "If I had known this would happen, I would have married Chu Sangning."

If it were in the past, Zhao Jiayun would have just endured it. After all, Mrs. Luo was an old lady paralyzed in bed, so a few words from her wouldn't mean anything.

She just thought of it as a fly flying into her ear. Who would have thought that her patience would be rewarded with Mrs. Luo's repeated nitpicking.

She happened to have some money saved, and she had also cheated He Yueyang a little. Zhao Jiayun thought that as long as she went back, nothing would happen.

Old Mrs. Luo kept muttering to herself. Zhao Jiayun looked around and took out the socks from Old Mrs. Luo's shoes and stuffed them into her mouth.

He stood up and said proudly, "I have tolerated you for a long time. You keep talking and you want to marry Chu Sangning. You are so shameless, bah."

While Luo Yiping was not at home, Zhao Jiayun walked back into the house, took out a packet of medicine from under the pillow, looked down at her stomach, gritted her teeth, and still didn't make up her mind. She packed two pieces of clothes, took the money from home, and walked towards the village entrance.

She looked too calm, as if she had just decided to go to the county town on a whim. Although the people in the village saw her, they did not suspect anything.

Luo Yiping came back drunk late at night. He fell on the bed and shouted twice, but no one answered. However, he fell asleep due to sleepiness and did not wake up until the next day.

After calling out in the house and getting no response, Luo Yiping got up tiredly and walked towards Old Lady Luo's house. He found that his own mother had a sock stuffed in her mouth and immediately felt something was wrong.

Taking the socks out of Mrs. Luo's mouth, Luo Yiping frowned, "Mom, where is Zhao Jiayun?"

"Son, your wife is harassing me. I haven't seen her since yesterday. I just said a few words to her and she was not happy. Yiping, Mom is thirsty. Pour some water for Mom."

Luo Yiping had no time to take care of his mother. He went back to the house and looked around. He found that the money and some of Zhao Jiayun's clothes were missing. He cursed under his breath and hurried out to look for someone.

Within a short time, everyone in Changxing Village knew that Zhao Jiayun had run away with the money.

"You said Yiping's wife was pregnant, why was he running away?" Several gossipy women at the entrance of the village kept muttering.

"How do we know? Maybe she doesn't want to be a burden to Old Lady Luo. But she is also cruel. How can she live with the child?"

"Without the letter of introduction from the captain, she can't get away for a few days."

Most people in the village thought so. Luo Yiping even went to the county town to look for Zhao Jiayun for several days, but he couldn't find her. Finally, he returned home in a rage.

He vented all his anger on the benches, pots and pans in the house. Old Mrs. Luo was lying at home when she heard the noise. When she realized that Zhao Jiayun had run away, she wailed excitedly.

"Yiping, go find him quickly, and ask the villagers to help you look for him."

"It doesn't matter if she's gone. Where's the child? She's pregnant with our Luo family's grandson. Look for her quickly."

His wife ran away and his mother was still making a fuss. In just a few days, Luo Yiping seemed to have lost all his energy and lost eight pounds in three days.

He has lost weight and his face has changed. His originally honest and simple face has now become a little mean, and his face shape is exactly the same as that of Old Lady Luo.

His eyes were filled with impatience, and he raised his voice, "I've looked for her, but what can I do if I can't find her? She's pregnant and she can run away. If I find her, I'll break her legs."

Luo Yiping's idea was doomed to fail. People's potential can be stimulated when they reach a certain situation. Zhao Jiayun, a weak woman, actually learned from some men to pull the train in the middle of the night, and endured a day and a night to return to her home.

Following the familiar street, Zhao Jiayun found the tube-shaped building where she had lived for more than ten years. Her mother happened to be washing clothes downstairs, and Zhao Jiayun was stunned.

He seemed unable to believe that he had returned home so easily.

The person who turned around noticed Zhao Jiayun and nudged Zhao's mother with his elbow, "Hey, who's coming back behind you?"

Mother Zhao turned around curiously and saw Zhao Jiayun, who was covered in dust and carrying a package. She was stunned on the spot, "Why are you back?"

"Mom..." Zhao Jiayun cried in grievance, but she didn't dare to say that she ran back secretly, otherwise her mother would definitely be the first person to send her back.

Zhao Jiayun stammered, "Well...well, I...I'm pregnant, and my mother-in-law asked me to stay home for a few days."

"Your mother-in-law?" Mother Zhao looked at her daughter's belly that was bulging like a watermelon, and suddenly smiled, "What is your mother-in-law planning? A daughter who is married off is like water spilled out. Do you still want me to take care of you now that you are pregnant?"

How could Zhao Jiayun say it clearly? There were so many people here. She bit her lip helplessly and pleaded in a low voice: "Mom, let's go home and talk. I brought something."

As parents understand their daughter, Zhao Jiayun, the daughter, also understands her parents. When she learned that Zhao Jiayun brought something back, Zhao's mother's expression eased, and she still forced a smile and said to the neighbors: "My daughter is back. Let's talk another day."

"Okay, let's go back quickly. We haven't seen each other for such a long time."

It was the first time for the neighbors to know that the daughter of the Zhao family got married after moving to the countryside. Look at how big her belly is, they must have been together for a long time.

Several women gathered together with basins in their hands, thinking about Zhao Jiayun's marriage and pregnancy. "The Zhao couple are quite tight-lipped. It's been such a long time, and we didn't know about it."

"That's right. Zhao Jiayun has been pregnant for at least four or five months. If she's married, why didn't she tell us? A while ago, a matchmaker went to her house to propose marriage."

"Oh, really? Whose family?"

People downstairs were talking about it, while Zhao Jiayun upstairs followed her mother upstairs to go home, carrying her things anxiously.

Zhao's mother suddenly asked, "Are you hiding something from me?"

Zhao Jiayun's heart suddenly tightened, and her nervous heart was beating non-stop, "Ah? No, no."

"Tell me now, or you'll be in trouble when your father comes back."

Zhao Jiayun thought about how her father would untie the belt around her waist and beat her whenever she told a lie as a child, leaving her body covered in blood and causing her to be unable to sleep for days due to the pain.

Under the questioning of Zhao's mother, Zhao Jiayun panicked and told everything. Zhao's mother's first reaction was to take her daughter back.

"You are so brave. If others knew about this, your father's job would be ruined. Did you do this on purpose, you bastard? Are you still blaming us for sending you to the countryside?"
