Chapter 85 A Jerk Matches a Jerk
Su Yuanzheng took Xia Yutong's hand and went downstairs, just in time to hear Su Qinglian talking to Luo Caixia.
“Xinya, I don’t know where she went last night. This morning, Butcher Chen was sick and couldn’t even sell meat. The villagers all went to the next village to buy meat.”
"Who cares? Even if Butcher Chen stops selling meat, we're not going to starve! We can buy it anywhere!"
"That's not how it works. Liu Yaozong and Xin Ya have been through so much trouble these days. I bet the child in Xin Ya's belly really is Liu Yaozong's."
Su Qinglian said, "Don't guess. The child in her belly is Liu Yaozong's. Liu Yaozong himself has admitted it."
"Did you hear that?"
“I heard it. I went to Liu Yaozong to get a divorce. His mother asked him if it was true, and he said it was his.”
Xia Yutong walked to the entrance of the building and heard Su Jianguo smoking a cigarette and letting out a long sigh.
"This matter has nothing to do with you anymore, so don't worry about it."
"I don't care anymore. These shameful bastards aren't worth my time. They're a bunch of despicable men and women, a perfect match made in heaven!"
Xia Yutong originally thought that if this matter continued to escalate, she would have no choice but to drag Zhou Hengzhi into it as well, and tell everyone that Zhou Hengzhi was the father of Chen Xinya's child.
However, things are going well for now; public opinion is on her side, and Chen Xinya's scheme has failed.
Even if she knew the child was Zhou Hengzhi's, she couldn't say it. If she tacitly agreed that it was Liu Yaozong's, Chen Xinya would probably never be able to hold her head high again.
But where will Chen Xinya go after leaving the village? Could it be that she's really too ashamed to stay in the village and wants to move to another place?
Or perhaps the suppression made him suddenly realize the truth?
"Qinglian, you're a young lady, how can you speak so rudely?"
Luo Caixia said unhappily, "We grew up together, after all. Even though they didn't do things well, we should be magnanimous."
"Mom and Dad, you're so old-fashioned and have such outdated ideas. What do you mean by being magnanimous? Chen Xinya was jumping around like a toad after the expedition, and she was so annoying. She even cheated on me with Liu Yaozong and got pregnant. I'm supposed to be magnanimous? I'm already being kind by not beating her until she miscarried."
"You're the fiercest one, and you still want to get married? How will you ever get married like this?"
Su Qinglian snorted coldly, "If I can't get married, I'll just rely on you and Dad. You gave birth to me and will take care of me for the rest of my life, so what? I've already thought it through. I'll go get a job and give you some living expenses every month. Don't worry, I'm not an unreasonable person and I won't make things difficult for you."
Just then, the man beside her suddenly said, "Su Qinglian, keep your voice down, the people upstairs can hear you."
Su Qinglian turned around, Luo Caixia and Su Jianguo turned around, and on the wooden stairs, Su Yuanzheng pulled Xia Yutong down by the hand.
Xia Yutong loves wearing skirts, and because of her pregnancy, she loves wearing them even more.
Today she wore a pink long dress without a waist-cinching design, in a Korean style, showing off her long legs.
The skirt has a slightly puffy feel, but the puffiness is just right and not at all out of place.
Pink is a perfect match for a woman with fair skin. Her dark blue eyes held a hint of a smile as she held onto the wooden handrail with one hand, while the other was being pulled by Su Yuanzheng's large hand.
He was gently helping a woman, but then suddenly became angry and yelled at her.
Su Qinglian took a deep breath. "I can't even speak at home anymore, right?"
"It's a good thing Tongtong isn't asleep, otherwise you would have woken her up."
Su Qinglian rolled her eyes in displeasure and looked at Luo Caixia. Luo Caixia said, "Yutong, sleep a little longer. Why did you come down? Is there anything else that's bothering you?"
Su Qinglian wanted to say something more, to scold Su Yuanzheng for treating his wife like a treasure and his sister like trash, but she couldn't say anything after hearing this and looked at Xia Yutong with a nervous expression.
"Are you alright? If you're not feeling well, you must be hospitalized."
"I feel much better."
"You're being so fussy. You complain that the hospital beds are too hard. What else can you do if you don't go to the hospital? We can't afford a family doctor." Su Qinglian frowned, looking disgusted.
Before Xia Yutong could speak, Su Yuanzheng said unhappily, "What do you know? Tongtong is worried that I won't be able to sleep well at night, that's why she's making a fuss about being discharged from the hospital. Tongtong... tell me if you feel unwell."
Surrounded by so many people showing concern, Xia Yutong felt a little uncomfortable.
On the wooden table were a pile of eggs, dried tofu, vermicelli, green vegetables, bok choy, and several live chickens tossed under the table, along with dried small fish...
Xia Yutong felt nauseous just from seeing it.
"Go lie down on the bed, I'll kill a chicken for you to eat."
Upon hearing this, Xia Yutong felt like she was about to vomit, so she quickly found a trash can.
As if on cue, a jumble of food was piled up together, and the smell was truly awful, as if a fishy stench was seeping into her nose.
"Why did you come down here? You should have just gone to the hospital. Can she be discharged in this condition? And you, you let her have her way with everything, look at the situation now..."
Su Qinglian was full of resentment. Su Yuanzheng fell silent and didn't have time to pay attention to her. He handed her a tissue and gently patted her back.
"I'm fine, I'm fine..."
Xia Yutong took Su Yuanzheng's hand and said, "Let's go, let's go for a walk."
"Have a glass of water."
Su Yuanzheng brought over a glass of water. Xia Yutong rinsed her mouth and then took two sips.
Luo Caixia asked, "Can we go for a walk?"
"Yes, I can do it. I want to go out for a walk, Mom."
"Then wait a moment."
Luo Caixia found a woolen bag, put a few dried apricots inside in a dustproof sealed bag, and also grabbed some dried jujubes.
"Take it with you and eat it on the way."
"etc……"
Su Jianguo took a bag of milk and a small bag of old-fashioned square sandwich cookies, saying, "I'll eat them on the way, and eat them whenever I get hungry."
"Oh no, I'm just going out for a walk, it's not like I'm going to some lousy mountain area, I'll be right back."
Su Yuanzheng was about to leave with Xia Yutong when Luo Caixia chased after them and made Su Yuanzheng take the red woolen bag with him.
This bright red knitted bag is clearly handmade; the yarn has pilled a bit from the friction, but it doesn't affect its use at all. The inside is lined with a layer of black waterproof fabric.
Su Yuanzheng hung the bright red bag on his wrist and walked side by side with Xia Yutong on the muddy road outside.
Muddy roads are naturally not as easy to walk on as cement roads. They are uneven and have a lot of gravel. It is easy to trip and fall. It is even more difficult to walk on rainy days. They are all muddy and you can only barely pass by stepping on the grass on both sides. When a large truck drives over them, the road begins to sink, leaving several deep tire tracks.
Once the sun came out, the tire tracks dried up, and the whole path looked very rugged.
"Tongtong, you need to walk slowly."
Xia Yutong was preoccupied with filming, so she walked exceptionally fast. The sun was about to set, and it was the best time to see the scenery. If she could record it, it would definitely be beautiful.
