When Li Xiyue arrived with Xu Daqiang after the incident at the cowshed, Su Fengying was sitting in the snow, with Xu Hongmei lying in her arms, her face pale. The snow beneath her was stained red, a shocking sight.
Li Xiyue carried the medical kit over, first giving her an acupuncture to stop the bleeding, and then feeding her medicine.
“Dr. Li, the child…” Xu Hongmei looked at Li Xiyue and asked weakly.
Li Xiyue said, "The baby cannot be saved."
The baby was lost long ago. Now we can only try to save Xu Hongmei and make sure this miscarriage doesn't affect her ability to have children in the future.
With her last glimmer of hope shattered, Xu Hongmei smiled, a smile filled with desolation yet tinged with a hint of relief.
She went to Zhao Guohua privately because she still held a sliver of hope that he would acknowledge the child and marry her.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Guohua still refused to acknowledge that the child in her womb was his, and denied all their past sweet moments. They argued, and he even hit her...
She was utterly disappointed and heartbroken; she would never again have any hope for that beast, Zhao Guohua.
It's a good thing the child is gone. A child who is not acknowledged by his father will only suffer the scorn and ridicule of the world and will never be able to live an upright life.
It's better not to come into this world than to be born to suffer.
When Xu Yongshun heard that his child was gone, he lost his balance and fell to the ground in the snow, instantly aging several years.
"You beast!" Xu Daqiang glared angrily at Zhao Guohua.
Zhao Guohua continued to distance himself from the situation, saying, "It has nothing to do with me. She was the one who started a tantrum. I didn't touch her at all. She fell and miscarried on her own."
"You were the one who pushed her," Zhou Huageng said angrily.
Zhu Linfeng also said, "That's right, all four of us saw it with our eight eyes. You were the one who pushed him down."
"You bastard!" Xu Daqiang rushed over, grabbed Zhao Guohua by the collar, and swung his fist at his face. "Hongmei is carrying your child too. Even tigers don't eat their cubs. You're worse than an animal. I'll beat you to death, you inhuman bastard!"
Su Fengying hugged her daughter and cried her heart out, "What a terrible thing I've done! What terrible thing have I done? My daughter, my Hongmei..."
Fearing that Su Fengying might faint from the stress, and also worried that Xu Hongmei might catch a chill from staying in the snow for too long, Li Xiyue persuaded Xu Daqiang, "Comrade Daqiang, hurry up and take Teacher Xu home. Auntie, don't be too sad. Xiaoyun and the children at home still need your care."
"Yes, yes, let's go back," Su Fengying said, wiping away her tears.
Xu Yongshun also got up, "I'll carry Hongmei on my back, let's go home."
"Dad, let me carry you." Xu Daqiang walked over and carried his sister on his back. "Dr. Li, thank you. I'll come to thank you again another day."
Li Xiyue shook her head, "You're welcome. Take Teacher Xu home and make sure she gets well. Nothing else matters; the most important thing is that she recovers."
"Dr. Li is right, the important thing is Hongmei's health." Su Fengying patted Li Xiyue's hand and quickly went with her husband to take their daughter home.
