"Xiaohui, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me. What happened?"
The men who were throwing things also looked unhappy. They knew that Gao Xiaohui was pregnant before marriage, and they thought that she couldn't bear the shock and lost the baby.
Thinking of this, several men quickly found a tricycle and asked the women who were watching to help send Gao Xiaohui to the hospital.
Chen Damao jumped on the tricycle and drove towards the hospital, hurriedly registering for a doctor. Gao Xiaohui was sent to the emergency room.
I don’t know how long it took, but just when Chen Damao lost his patience and was about to knock on the door, the door opened and a doctor shook his head.
"The child has fallen."
The doctor looked at Chen Damao with unfriendly eyes, thinking that this man was not a good person. He should not ask about his wife first, but ask about his child first.
"The baby has been saved for now, but the pregnant woman seems to be traumatized. She needs to take good care of the baby, otherwise she will lose the baby."
The nurse pushed the patient out and sent him to the ward. Damao sat on the ground, leaning against the wall, powerless. Overnight, he lost his job, his house, his reputation, and almost lost his child.
When Gao Xiaohui opened her eyes, she saw Chen Damao sitting on the ground, pulling his hair with both hands. Her eyes darkened. She was also in an awkward position.
When she returned to her hometown, she found that her family favored boys over girls. When she was recommended to study at the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University, she mocked her brother and sister-in-law. Now that she wanted to go back, she would undoubtedly be asking for trouble.
If they don’t go back, they won’t have a job and no money. In Chuncheng, it’s hard to get around without money, not to mention that they have no place to live.
The only way is to follow Damao back to Xiangyang Village, but the way Damao treats his family, it will probably be difficult to go back. How did they end up to this point
Damao kept his head down. He was thinking the same question. It was impossible to go back with Gao Xiaohui. The only way was to return to his hometown.
But can he go back? No matter what, Xiaohui is pregnant with Chen's child. Based on this, he believes that his mother will still accept them.
After figuring out what to do next, Chen Damao was straightforward and told Gao Xiaohui to take good care of the things while he would deal with them and sell them for a penny.
The neighbors had long taken a fancy to the furniture made by Damao, which was thick and sturdy. They had divided it up privately and were waiting for Damao to come back and ask them for the money.
Ten dollars here, five dollars there, in one morning, Damao sold everything he could. He had a house in his hometown with everything in it, so it would be best if some things could be exchanged for money.
Three days later, Damao took the only 80 yuan he had with Gao Xiaohui and boarded a long-distance bus back to Xiangyang Village. When they entered the village, the villagers he was familiar with seemed not to recognize him.
This obvious indifference made Damao feel indignant. He thought back to when he was recommended to the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University, these people looked up to him, but how come they suddenly disregarded him
Gao Xiaohui was also embarrassed. Her identity as a third party had been exposed, and she knew that Zhang Yuefang was still in Xiangyang Village, which made it even more embarrassing.
"Let's go. I wonder if my mother is still home."
Cuihua was indeed at home. She was extremely exhausted during this period. She had to run back and forth between the county hospital and home every day, and she also had to cook, wash clothes and take care of the hospitalized man.
Ermao had given up on the college entrance examination. He picked up a hoe and went to the fields. His family relied on work points for food, and if he didn't work in the fields, there would be no food.
Chen Xiaoniu also gave up studying. The chickens at home needed to be fed, the clothes needed to be washed, and the floors needed to be swept. It was already September, and there was not enough firewood, so she had to collect firewood and dig wild vegetables.
She has always been the most favored one in the family. She was the one who would act like a spoiled brat even if she had to wash one more piece of clothes. But she grew up overnight, and the changes in the family made her much more sensible.
"Girl..."
Chen Xiaoniu looked back and saw that it was her eldest brother, who came back with a woman. Needless to say, it was the third party Gao Xiaohui. She wanted to ask them to get out, but after taking a look at the kitchen, she took the hatchet and left.
Chen Damao felt very sad. The little girl usually always called him "Brother" when she saw him, but now, the little girl seemed not to know him and looked at him with disdain.
"Why did you come back?"
Cuihua came out when she heard the voice. She was furious when she saw her eldest son standing stupidly in the yard.
She turned her eyes and saw the broom beside her, and was about to hit him with it, but when she thought of her man being tripped, she stopped suddenly.
When Chen Damao saw this scene, his heart was broken. He did trip his own father on purpose, but if he knew the consequences would be so serious, he would never stretch out his legs even if he was beaten to death.
"Mom, I was wrong. Please forgive me. Xiaohui is pregnant and almost lost the baby. We have no place to live. Please have mercy on us. The Chen family's seed cannot be lost."
Cuihua's heart trembled. She knew how much she wanted to have a grandson, so when Zhang Yuefang lost her child, she felt more distressed than Zhang Yuefang.
Now that she knew Gao Xiaohui had just come out of the hospital, she was torn. Her emotions told her to let them come back, but her reason told her that she could not keep this son.
"Mom, I don't know why my eldest sister went crazy. She went to Chuncheng to complain. Now Xiaohui and I have lost our jobs, and our house has been taken back by the factory. We are at our wits' end."
"What… "
Cuihua knew that Da Niu had gone to settle accounts with Damao, but she didn't expect the consequences to be so serious. This damn girl was her own brother after all. It would have been fine if she had just beaten and scolded her, but why did she ruin the reputation of both of them
But she suddenly came to her senses and slapped herself hard. How could she be led astray by Damao? Da Niu was right. She could even harm her own father. She couldn't want a son like that anymore.
"Go find the village chief. Your household registration is no longer in my house. My family cannot take you in."
"Mother..."
"I'm not your mother, and you're not my son. As for the child in that woman's belly, I won't recognize her. Getting pregnant before marriage, how shameless would one be to do such a thing."
Gao Xiaohui could not stand anymore and swayed a little. If it wasn't for Da Mao's quick action, she would have fallen to the ground. She knew that what she did was not right, but she shouldn't curse at others like that.
Li Huan, who was attending classes at school, was still called back. The reason was simple: Damao's household registration was returned, and Gao Xiaohui's household registration was also returned, but the people there did not accept it, saying that she was already married.
So looking at the two forms for cancellation of household registration, Li Huan had a headache, but he had to accept them, after all, Damao was a native of Xiangyang Village.
"Give me fifty yuan and I'll apply for one mu of residential land for you. It's right next to Chen Dazhu. You can build the house yourself. If you need help from the villagers, you'll have to pay them."
Although Li Huan accepted the household registration of the two people, he knew that Chen Damao's household registration would definitely not be allowed to be included in the Chen family. Although they did not separate, the situation was more serious than if they had separated.
