"mom."

Seeing that it was her mother-in-law, Ji Ling wanted to sit up, but as soon as she moved, she felt something tearing her body and causing pain.

The painful area also reminded her, and her eyes suddenly looked towards her abdomen.

She saw that her bulging belly had flattened out. She looked up at her mother-in-law in panic, "Mom, where's my baby?"

"Xiaoling, don't worry." Kong Siya held her hand and slowly sat down beside the bed. "After you were sent to the hospital, you had a miscarriage. The hospital performed surgery to take the baby out in time, but it was less than eight months old and the baby was too young. Mom knew she should keep it a secret from you, but you are a smart person and I can't hide it from you."

Kong Siya couldn't help but burst into tears before she finished speaking.

Ji Ling stared at her mother-in-law blankly, her head buzzing, and she didn't even notice that her nails were scratching her mother-in-law's hand.

"Xiaoling, say something, anything is fine." Kong Siya realized that something was wrong, panicked, and reached out to pinch her Ren Zhong point.

Ji Ling's eyes went dark and she fainted.

When the people in the corridor heard the noise, they didn't even bother to wait for Kong Siya to call for help, and they all rushed in.

"Mom, what happened to my sister-in-law?"

In addition to Zhu Yaowu and the other three, Zhu Weidong was also there, but he was pushed behind by his brothers.

"Go call a doctor quickly." Kong Siya was also anxious and urged her son.

After Xiaoling got into trouble, she was sent directly to the nearest hospital, not to the hospital where Kong Siya was. The hospital was able to find Ji Ling's family, but the public security bureau was able to contact them after they found Ji Ling's bag in the car and saw her work ID.

When the Zhu family rushed over, what they saw in the hospital was Ji Ling, who was unconscious after the operation, and the body of the child.

The Zhu family had no time to feel sad, so they thought about how to comfort Ji Ling. The men's thoughts were naturally kept secret. Only Kong Siya disagreed. In the end, she drove everyone out and stayed in the ward alone.

Kong Siya felt upset about such a big thing happening suddenly. She was sad and upset, and took her anger out on her sons, slapping her eldest son twice.

Zhu Weidong didn't say a word and just endured it.

From the time Ji Ling found out her child was gone to the time she woke up again, it was already the next day. She didn't speak a word after she woke up.

Ji Jianhua and others who came to see her heard that someone had been in trouble and rushed straight to the hospital.

Ji Jianhua had a sullen face. When he saw Zhu Weidong in the hospital corridor, he punched him without saying a word.

Wang Sanmei did not stop him and went straight into the ward without paying attention. Qian Xiangqian walked slowly and did not stop when he passed by Zhu Weidong who was being grabbed and beaten by Ji Jianhua.

It was the loud noise in the hospital that alerted the nurse, who came and pulled Ji Jianhua away.

From beginning to end, Zhu Weidong never fought back.

Ji Jianhua was pulled by the nurse. He asked Zhu Weidong coldly, "Do you know who I am?"

Zhu Weidong replied, "I don't know."

"Then let me tell you, I am Xiaoling's elder brother, my dear elder brother. Do you understand why I hit you now?"

Zhu Weidong nodded.

Ji Jianhua looked at him hatefully, and suddenly felt bored. He spat, "Zhu Weidong, you are sorry to Xiaoling. You will regret it."

He pushed the nurse away and went into the house.

The nurse looked at Zhu Weidong and asked, "Comrade, are you okay?"

Zhu Weidong shook his head and entered the ward.

The nurses exchanged glances with each other and realized that the pregnant woman in this ward had lost her child and the whole family was sad.

Ji Ling slowly turned her head to look at her, "Sister-in-law, I haven't cried yet, so don't cry either. I really don't have the energy to persuade you now."

After she finished speaking, tears started falling from her eyes.

This was the first time she spoke since waking up.

Kong Siya was standing by, "It's good that Xiaoling can speak."

Wang Sanmei handed over the handkerchief and said, "Xiaoling, cry. It will be better if you cry."

My sister-in-law takes everything to heart. Now that such a big thing has happened, how can she bear it?

Ji Ling was tired from crying. She was half asleep and half awake when she heard her elder brother's voice. In the end, she didn't have the energy to ask and fell into a deep sleep again.

When everyone saw that the man was asleep, they pointed outside the ward and walked out together.

People were coming and going in the corridor. Wang Sanmei and Qian Xiangqian stayed to take care of Ji Ling, while the others went home first.

No matter what the reason was, Ji Ling got into such a big trouble, it was all because the Zhu family failed to take good care of her.

A pregnant woman was outside alone with a big belly and almost lost her life.

Although it was Chinese New Year, the atmosphere in the Zhu family was very gloomy.

Old Mrs. Zhu also fell ill, and the doctor came to her home to give her an IV. When everyone came back, she had just finished the IV.

He still looked listless, and when he saw Ji Jianhua, he felt even more guilty.

"It is our Zhu family that has let Xiaoling down." Old Madam Zhu knew that it was useless to say anything more. "Xiaoling needs to get well first. After she gets well, we can discuss other things."

"Grandma, you can't be blamed for this. Wait until Xiaoling is calm, and then listen to her thoughts." Ji Jianhua paused, "Before the incident, Xiaoling agreed to get a divorce on the fifth day of the new year, so let's stick to the agreement. Weidong doesn't have to be responsible for that."

Zhu Weidong was sitting nearby, and when Ji Jianhua talked about him, he didn't even look at him.

It can be seen that there is resentment in his heart.

"Okay, let's arrange it this way. Wait until Xiaoling calms down." Old Mrs. Zhu looked a little listless. After talking for a while, she went back to the bedroom.

Kong Siya didn't even look at her son, she just said to Ji Jianhua, "Keep it a secret from your parents for now, don't let them get anxious from such a long distance."

"Okay." Ji Jianhua was very respectful to Kong Siya.

"You have been traveling for several days. Take a rest first. We can communicate at any time if there is anything." Kong Siya felt ashamed.

Kong Siya has been in the hospital for the past two days. She was physically and mentally exhausted after losing her granddaughter and feeling sorry for Xiaoling, but she was holding on.

Now that Ji Jianhua, her elder brother, had come and Xiaoling was accompanied by someone, Kong Siya's tense body finally relaxed.

Zhu's daughter-in-law lost her child when she was less than eight months pregnant, and the news spread among relatives and friends.

Someone came to Zhu's house to check on the family, but because Ji Ling was not there, they sat for a while and then left.

Cao Yehong waited at home for a few days, but Zhu Weidong didn't come. She asked for leave from her unit but only until the tenth day of the first lunar month. As the day to go back to work approached, Zhu Weidong seemed to have disappeared.

Cao Yehong couldn't wait any longer and went to the compound again. She also heard from the guard that Zhu's daughter-in-law had lost her child.

Cao Yehong almost raised the corners of her lips in joy, but when she thought of the people in front of her, she forced her lips down.
