Chapter 71 Chen Xinya is pregnant, and everyone knows it.
Zhou Erniang and Su Jianguo quickly went over to help her up, saying, "Take it easy."
"What's the rush? Slow down!"
Village Chief Wei was left standing there, belatedly realizing what was happening. He looked at the doctor, then at Butcher Chen, and asked curiously, "This doesn't make sense. Xin Ya isn't even married yet, she doesn't even have a boyfriend, how could she be pregnant?"
As he spoke, Village Chief Wei said to the doctor, "Doctor, there must be a mistake. Please check again."
"There's no mistake, there's only one person inside, Chen Xinya. Which of you is a family member?"
Butcher Chen was so frightened he couldn't stand up; his legs were trembling. "I...I'm a family member, doctor..."
Supported by Su Jianguo and Zhou Erniang, Butcher Chen forcefully stood up and went to the doctor. "Doctor, this can't be! Check it again, take another look!"
"Too many tests are bad for the fetus."
After speaking, the doctor handed the form to Butcher Chen. Butcher Chen glanced at the form and his legs went weak again.
"Old Chen!"
"Old Chen, are you alright?"
Butcher Chen was incredulous, unable to breathe properly. "How could this be? How could this be?"
“Our Xinya…”
"How could this be..."
Butcher Chen was completely baffled. How could his daughter be pregnant? His mind went blank, and he collapsed to the ground.
"Old Chen..."
Su Qinglian didn't say a word, thinking to herself, "Simple and honest? Is this what you call simple and honest? Getting pregnant out of wedlock? How shameful!"
Last time in the village, she fainted. We were going to take her to the hospital, but Chen Xinya woke up halfway there and refused to go to the hospital no matter what.
It seems that's the reason; she was afraid of being exposed.
——
As dawn broke, Xia Yutong started bleeding and needed to be hospitalized to protect her pregnancy. Su Yuanzheng stayed up all night to watch over her. The next day, at the crack of dawn, the whole family arrived.
Luo Caixia steamed some xiaolongbao (soup dumplings) and delivered them to the hospital. Holding Xiao Mi's hand, she took a ride with some villagers.
Su Qinglian said to Su Jianguo, "What do you mean by 'simple-minded' and 'thinking of the village'? She's just selfish. She likes expeditions, didn't you know that?"
"Don't talk nonsense."
“Dad, I’m not making this up. She’s pregnant now, and I don’t know whose dirty child she’s carrying. She’s having a hard time and wants to drag others down with her. I know her better than anyone else what kind of person she is.”
Su Jianguo was getting a headache from her nagging and reminded her, "Your Uncle Chen is already feeling bad enough, don't add to his distress."
"I'm just stating the facts. It wasn't me who got Chen Xinya pregnant."
Su Jianguo rolled his eyes at her, "You have such a big mouth..."
"Old Su!" Luo Caixia, holding Xiao Mi's hand, arrived at the ward door. "Old Su, how is she?"
"You need to be hospitalized to protect the pregnancy."
Luo Caixia pointed inside, "Is the person awake yet?"
"I woke up at night, now I'll go back to sleep. I get sleepy a lot when I'm pregnant."
Luo Caixia then asked, "Are you feeling alright anywhere?"
"No, not for now. Don't worry too much. The expedition is inside."
Su Yuanzheng lay by Xia Yutong's bedside and observed her all night.
"Mother……"
Xiao Mi's voice was soft as she took her hand and looked up at Su Jianguo, "Grandpa, I'm so hungry."
"Eat first if you're hungry."
"This is for Yutong; she's still asleep."
“Mom…” Su Qinglian frowned, about to say something, then glanced at the ward and said to Xiaomi, “Let’s wait a bit, eat together when your aunt wakes up, the family should eat together.”
Xiaomi pouted and nodded, "Where's Daddy?"
"Your dad..."
When Liu Yaozong was mentioned, everyone fell silent.
Liu Yaozong is now a ticking time bomb in Nanbian Village; just hearing his name makes one uncomfortable.
"Is Dad dead?"
"Shh!"
Luo Caixia frowned unhappily, "Xiao Mi, you can't say things like that."
"Dad bled a lot, Dad died."
"Your dad isn't dead, he's perfectly fine, sweetie..."
When Su Jianguo saw Xiaomi, she felt a little more worried. She said to Luo Caixia, "You go in first, take Xiaomi with you."
"I'll go in and take a look too."
Su Qinglian had just reached the door when Su Jianguo grabbed her hand and said, "Wait a minute."
"What's wrong?"
We've been together for so long, if I had something to say to her, I would have said it already.
The ward door closed, "Expedition..."
"Mom, Xiaomi."
"Uncle, Uncle, I'm so hungry. Has Aunt woken up yet?"
The door closed, cutting off all sound. Su Jianguo looked at Su Qinglian with a serious expression. "I have something I need to give you a heads-up."
"Tell me, Dad, we're family, so let's talk things out."
"Regarding Liu Yaozong."
“Isn’t the police handling this? Let’s not talk about this privately. Calling the police is a way to give the villagers an explanation, and it will make Yuanzheng and the people inside feel better.”
"That's another matter."
"What?"
Su Jianguo only remembered this when he saw Xiaomi. If Liu Yaozong really went to jail for what he did to Xia Yutong, he wanted to give Su Qinglian a heads-up.
“Once Liu Yaozong goes to jail, Xiaomi will be unable to do many things.”
Su Qinglian was stunned for a moment. She no longer had much affection for Liu Yaozong as a wife. The only thing she felt for Liu Yaozong after doing such a thing was hatred. She wished he would die quickly and thoroughly. Locking him up for ten or twenty years would not have much to do with her anyway.
She can remarry with Xiaomi, and she can have any man she wants without any worries.
but……
However, since it concerns Xiaomi, Liu Yaozong is, after all, Xiaomi's biological father.
Seeing Su Qinglian hesitate, Su Jianguo explained, "Last night, I was only focused on calling the police, and I didn't have time to think about many things in detail. It's too late to say these things now, but Dad wants to tell you that Liu Yaozong's matter will definitely have an impact on Xiaomi."
Su Qinglian's eyes welled up with tears. She lowered her gaze, revealing a troubled expression, as she stared at the gleaming white floor of the corridor.
"Dad, it's okay. It was Liu Yaozong who made a mistake. Xiaomi is his daughter. Even if he remembers her, there's nothing he can do."
Hearing her say that, Su Jianguo frowned. "Now that the police have been called, it's too late. But Dad doesn't want you to think I'm biased towards your brother and Yutong. We're all family..."
"I know."
Su Qinglian rubbed her eyes.
She knew that her family treated her well, cared for her, and took care of her children. She would occasionally complain that they were biased, giving everything to Su Yuanzheng and treating Xia Yutong better than her. This was all due to her feelings of imbalance.
She felt she was unhappy with her life; her husband was useless, and her married daughter still had to come back to her parents' home to cause them trouble. If she didn't say it this way, she wouldn't seem so self-righteous.
Su Qinglian said, "I think Yuanzheng can make money by doing this planting. As long as the couple is doing well and their relationship remains unchanged, that's fine."
“My sister-in-law is a rich girl. I’m happy for Yuanzheng because she doesn’t look down on our family. As for Xiaomi… at worst, she won’t have a government job anymore. She can do handicrafts with my sister-in-law and become a talented woman herself.”
