Xu Laidi looked at Chen Tiezhu, whose eyes were full of greed, sneered, stood up, straightened his already protruding belly, and pointed at his belly proudly:
"Although I am divorced from your brother, the meat here is Chen Dazhu's offspring. Can't his offspring live in the house he built?"
Chen Tiezhu didn't expect Xu Laidi to bring up the child, and for a moment he didn't know how to respond, but Chen Tiezhu's wife responded without showing any weakness:
"Xu Laidi, you are a slut from the beginning. You have an ambiguous relationship with Chai Jianmin. Who knows whether you are pregnant with Chen's child or Chai's child?"
Chen Tiezhu also became excited when he heard this. He glanced at Xu Laidi's belly with disdain and signaled his wife to take action.
Chen Tiezhu's wife quickly threw away Xu Laidi and Chen Dazhu's things. In fact, most of Chen Dazhu's things had been thrown away by Xu Laidi a long time ago, but he had to leave one or two things to fool the villagers.
"Help! Someone from the Chen family is robbing me. Chen Tiezhu is trying to rob my house..."
Xu Laidi held his stomach and ran towards the village committee. Maybe he ran too fast and his feet went soft and he fell to the ground. Then he felt a piercing pain in his stomach.
Chen Tiezhu didn't expect Xu Laidie to run to the village committee after a disagreement. As a grown man, of course he couldn't chase after Xu Laidie, so he quickly asked his wife to go out and chase him.
So when Xu Laidi fell heavily to the ground, Chen Tiezhu's wife was scared out of her wits. They just wanted the house and didn't want to take anyone's life.
Some villagers had seen what was happening and thought that something serious had happened. The fall of a pregnant woman who was six or seven months pregnant was no small matter, so they ran towards the ridge of the field, where Li Huan was busy weeding.
Li Huan now deeply regrets being the village chief. He is so busy that he doesn't even have time to spend with Cheng Qiao, let alone go to the county to engage in speculation.
Even when sending supplies to his father-in-law in Gansu once a month, he had to sneak in his spare time from his busy schedule to do it. Now, when he heard that something happened in the village again, he rolled up his sleeves and prepared to beat someone up.
"Huanzi, you can't hit people. It seems that Xu Laidi was forced to escape by Chen Tiezhu and his wife. He fell to the ground and no one dared to help him up."
The veins on Li Huan's forehead were throbbing. Xu Laidie, it would be best if this dead woman died, but he couldn't say such words openly. He could only ask someone to ask Uncle Ye to come over.
Ye Jun came over carrying a medicine box. After taking her pulse, he knew that the baby in her belly was in danger. The baby was already showing signs of premature birth, and Xu Laidi obviously no longer had the strength to give birth.
"Hurry up and send them to the hospital. If you go too late, there might be two deaths. Both mother and child are seriously malnourished. I don't know how they survived."
"Chen Tiezhu, you bastard, don't you have your own house? Why are you trying to rob Chen Dazhu's house?"
After hearing the whole story, Li Huan was so angry that he started cursing. If Xu Laidi died, even if it was not his fault, he, as the village chief, was still responsible.
Chen Tiezhu looked at Xu Laidi who was lying on the ground half unconscious, and felt scared. What he wanted was the house, not human life. Moreover, if Xu Laidi died, it would be two lives.
Moreover, the child in Xu Laidi's belly is her brother's posthumous child. If she loses even this child, she doesn't know whether her brother in the underworld will come to settle the score with her at night.
"Goudan, go and call Uncle Niu and ask him to drive the ox cart to the county hospital."
When Li Huan saw Goudan coming in, he quickly asked him to call for help. Why was a child watching such a commotion, especially the commotion of a woman giving birth? Goudan quickly squeezed out.
"Chen Tiezhu, what happened today was caused by you two, husband and wife. Hurry up and take the money to send him to the hospital, otherwise I will definitely send you to the public security bureau. Anyway, your brother died not long ago, he will be waiting for you there."
Chen Tiezhu's face turned pale and sweat began to appear on his forehead. Suddenly, he turned around and punched his wife hard in the stomach. If it wasn't for this damn woman nagging in his ear, would he have done such a thing
Chen Tiezhu's wife was punched to the ground by her husband. She covered her stomach with both hands and kept breathing heavily. Suddenly someone screamed, "Blood, Chen Tiezhu, your wife is bleeding."
The experienced village women knew what was wrong. They shook their heads and sighed, "What sin did the Chen family commit? The two pregnant women are going to lose their babies."
When Chen Tiezhu heard this, he couldn't believe his ears. His wife was pregnant. Yes, his wife told him last night that they should take over Chen Dazhu's house and let their child live there.
Chen Dazhu looked at his fist in disbelief, and looked at his wife lying on the ground with bloodshot eyes. He happened to see the gloating face of his stepmother, and regret suddenly surged in his heart.
"Wife, I'll take you to the hospital."
When Chen Tiezhu saw Uncle Niu driving the ox cart over, he hurriedly picked up his wife and got on the ox cart, but Uncle Niu did not move. Chen Tiezhu was about to tell Uncle Niu to hurry up, but Uncle Niu pointed at Xu Laidi on the ground.
Li Huan no longer cared about personal grudges at this time, and asked several village women to carry Xu Laidi onto the ox cart. However, after the village women lifted him onto the ox cart, they all stepped back.
"Chen Tiezhu, if Xu Laidi has any problems, I will only ask you."
Seeing that no one was willing to accompany Xu Laidi, Li Huan could only vent his anger on Chen Tiezhu. However, Chen Tiezhu turned a deaf ear to him. He only cared about the child in his wife's belly.
Aunt Cuihua sighed and climbed onto the ox cart. Although Xu Laidie was unpopular, she still couldn't bear to see the baby in her belly die.
The ox cart moved slowly forward. Chai Jianmin, who was standing at the back, had flickering eyes. How could Xu Laidie be so lucky that he was not thrown to death? That Cuihua was so nosy. No wonder her husband was removed from his position as village chief.
Cuihua did not come back all night, and only returned home at noon the next day with weak steps. The first thing she did was to scoop a bucket of water from the water tank and drink it down in gulps.
"Mom, you haven't eaten yet, I'll go get you some food."
Damao hurried to the kitchen. When Chen Weidang and Li Huan heard Cuihua had returned, they also quickly ran home.
"Cuihua, how are Xu Laidi and Chen Tiezhu doing?"
"Alas, Chen Tiezhu's wife lost the baby that was less than three months old in her belly, and Xu Laidi gave birth to a son prematurely."
"As the old saying goes, if you give birth to a son, the seventh one will live, the eighth one will not. It seems that Xu Laidi's son can still survive."
Chen Weidang shook his head.
"Not necessarily. The child was malnourished in the womb and was born prematurely. Xu Laidi has no milk at all. Even the doctor said that whether the child will live or not depends on the luck of the child."
"I'll go check if Xu Laidi left his mother's address. When a daughter has a baby, her mother will always be concerned about her. She might even send some nutritional supplements."
