When Mrs. Zhang met the man’s gaze, what else didn’t she understand?
She didn't have time to hate Luo Xiaowu. For a moment, she felt that her whole body was paralyzed, and she wanted to sit on the ground as soon as her legs went weak. However, the woman next to her reacted quickly and hurriedly supported her: "Madam, what's wrong with you?"
The mother-in-law didn't know why, and looked worried.
It was obviously the Young Madam who had the fetus, so why did the one who suffered the blow become his own master?
Mr. Zhang waved his hand: "Check her pulse."
Several doctors came forward in turn. Luo Xiaowu was very panicked, but she was surrounded by people from the Zhang family and it was not her turn to refuse. She could only be manipulated like a puppet on strings. After the doctors took her pulse, they unanimously said
She has a happy pulse. The days when she is pregnant are the days of her wedding.
Mr. Zhang closed his eyes and said: "In charge, send the doctor out, and remember to pay the consultation fee."
When you ask a doctor to come to the clinic for treatment, it is necessary to pay him a consultation fee. This order is obviously unnecessary. But the steward knows in his heart that the consultation fee mentioned by the master is actually hush money. Before the two ladies came in, the doctor had already taken his son's pulse.
I made it clear that the young master’s body needs to be reconditioned if he wants a woman to become pregnant.
It's just that it's clear that the young master can't let women get pregnant now.
Since it can’t be done, where did the child in the young lady’s belly come from?
No matter where it came from, it was definitely not his son's. The steward knew that the master was in a bad mood at the moment. After hearing this, he followed him quickly, planning to send the doctor away and wait a while to see if there was anything else.
If he is alive, he will definitely not come back today.
Zhang Mingli closed his eyes, looked pale, and did not look at Luo Xiaowu from beginning to end.
Mr. Zhang was on business. He had decided to meet with merchants today a few days ago. After getting the exact news this morning, he couldn't sit still for a moment. He even put down his business and hurried back. At this moment, he looked at Luo
Xiaowu's eyes seemed to kill someone: "Explain it!"
Luo Xiaowu forced a smile: "Father, my daughter-in-law doesn't quite understand, what do you want me to say?"
"Stop pretending to be stupid." Mr. Zhang had a bad temper and slapped the table.
The table was slapped, and Luo Xiaowu trembled in fright. She was not of high birth and not very courageous, so she sat down directly on the ground.
The maid next to her was very nervous, but she still subconsciously supported her. After all, as soon as the young lady became pregnant, the superiors had specially ordered that no matter what happened, the young lady must be protected and the child in her belly should not be allowed to have an accident.
When making a meat pad, you can't let it get hurt.
"Don't help her, get out of here." Mr. Zhang roared angrily.
She was so angry, not to mention these little maids, even the old people in the house had not seen her a few times. Mrs. Zhang's heart trembled: "Master, don't be angry, say what you have to say, and don't hurt yourself..."
"How else can I say it properly?" Mr. Zhang was so angry that he was shaking all over: "Get out of here."
The servant who was waiting on him rolled around and disappeared into the room. Soon, only a family of three sitting and Luo Xiaowu squatting on the ground were left in the room.
Luo Xiaowu was very scared: "My stomach hurts so much, I must have fetal gas." She said this to Zhang Mingli.
It's a pity that the man who used to be gentle and patient to her didn't even open his eyes at the moment, as if he didn't hear these words.
Luo Xiaowu had a premonition in her heart from the moment she walked in, and now she understood everything. The things she had worked so hard to hide had not been hidden from the eyes of the Zhang family.
"Husband..."
Zhang Mingli suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes full of anger and resentment: "Your husband is someone else, and I cannot bear this title."
Hearing these straightforward words, the last trace of luck in Luo Xiaowu's heart disappeared: "Husband, please listen to my explanation."
Zhang Mingli asked: "What else is there to say, the child in your belly is mine?"
"Yes!" Luo Xiaowu gritted his teeth.
Even if it wasn't, she couldn't admit it!
A wealthy family like the Zhang family would never allow an ordinary member of the Luo family to cheat. Luo Xiaowu simply couldn't imagine what they would do to their parents' family.
For a person who was not very courageous, the more she thought about it, the more afraid she became. Her whole body was shaking like chaff. The stomachache just now was fake. This nervousness made her stomach really hurt. Her face became paler and paler, and she couldn't sit still, lying on her knees.
On the ground: "I really have a stomachache."
"Master, it's better to ask a doctor first. If there is another misunderstanding..." Mrs. Zhang was really afraid of being tortured, so she wanted to save the child first and make sure that he had nothing to do with her family, and then deal with it before it was too late.
But Mr. Zhang has checked and found that Luo Xiaowu does have a sweetheart outside. The two have been good friends for several years. Just because the man's family is too poor and cannot afford the betrothal gift that the Luo family wants, the two can only meet occasionally in private.
Meet.
That's all. Those doctors just said clearly that his son's body still needs to be recuperated before he can have children... Yes, they were indeed deceived by the doctors last time, but this time it was true. To be on the safe side, Mr. Zhang even
So he ordered two doctors to come from the suburbs.
Doctors in this city will be bribed, can they also be bribed in the suburbs?
He didn't think his sister was that capable of foreseeing things like this.
"I have sent people to ask your parents to come over. If they are willing to save this child, they will naturally ask a doctor for you! Now, please don't cry in front of me. I'm annoyed by it."
Even the foul language came out, showing Mr. Zhang's anger.
Luo Xiaowu's whole body was trembling, and she looked at Zhang Mingli with pleading eyes: "Husband, one day is a hundred days of kindness, please help me... I beg you... nothing can happen to this child..."
Zhang Mingli looked at her indifferently: "I hate being deceived most in my life. Zhou Meiyu is like this, and you are like this."
The only woman who didn't lie to him was so angry that he remarried.
When he thought of this, he couldn't help but want to scold Zhou Meiyu and Aunt Xianyun bloody.
Especially when he personally gave birth to his own child...that was probably the only bloodline he would have in his life.
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He rushed forward and slapped Luo Xiaowu hard on the face: "You slutty bitch. Since you have a lover, why did you let go and marry him? Why did you lie to me?"
If there had been no children from beginning to end, he wouldn't have been so miserable. Having hope and then being disappointed was simply more painful than killing him.
Luo Xiaowu received a slap, and her whole body was knocked to the ground. When she looked up again, one side of her cheek was red and swollen, and blood flowed from her lips. Her body was shaking even more fiercely: "I...I can't help myself...
...They insist on forcing me to get married...What can I do...I am a shameless person...but I can't make up my mind...it's too difficult to live, I might as well die..."
Before she finished speaking, she suddenly got up and hit the pillar on the side.
There were not many people in the room. Zhang Mingli, who was closest to her, had just been hit, and his heart was full of anger. He was confused and his reaction was much slower than usual. When he subconsciously reached out to grab the woman over there, he had already softened.
It fell softly to the ground, with a large area of redness and swelling on his forehead and blood flowing out.
Seeing how things turned out like this, Mr. Zhang stood up suddenly and said, "Come quickly, please ask a doctor to bandage her."
His family was deceived, and it was such an important matter as an heir. He wished he could skin him and cramp him, but he couldn't kill him openly.
Before the doctor had gone far, he quickly invited two people back. By the time Luo Xiaowu's injury was bandaged, the Luo family had already arrived.
They didn't know what happened from beginning to end. When they saw their dying daughter, the couple looked at each other. They had just heard that their daughter was pregnant a few days ago, and they thought that after the wedding was settled, they would get more from the Zhang family in the future.
What a benefit... I even wanted to find a suitable opportunity to propose opening another shop. As for the cost of opening a shop, I naturally borrowed it from the Zhang family.
My own daughters have continued the bloodline of the Zhang family, especially when Zhang Mingli is weak. No matter how many benefits the Zhang family gives, they deserve it.
When Luo's mother saw her unconscious daughter, she rushed forward to call someone, but the bitch never moved. She couldn't help but start shaking.
When the doctor next to him saw this, he hurriedly stopped her: "My head is injured, so you can't shake it like this! You are not trying to save her, you are trying to kill her."
Hearing this, Luo's mother hurriedly let go: "How is my daughter?"
"It'll be fine if you wake up." The doctor packed the medicine box. Others didn't know how many of them there were, but they knew what happened in the yard. Normal people would not have a good impression of such a carefree woman. And for a family that raised such a daughter
, he naturally didn't have a good face: "Whether you can wake up or not depends on God's will."
After saying that, the doctor was about to leave with the medicine box, but Luo's mother grabbed him and said, "What about the child in my daughter's belly?"
"She may not be able to wake up on her own, child..." The doctor pulled out his sleeve: "Don't fuss, I still have something to do. Take the first step."
Before leaving, he just nodded to the Zhang family and his wife.
Luo's father stood aside and watched with cold eyes. He had already discovered the Zhang family's unusual attitude towards him. Marriage was about being from the same family, but due to special reasons, two families who were not from the same family got married. The Luo family knew in their hearts that they were of the same family.
With such an in-law, you can't ask for too much. At least, it's just a daydream if you want others to treat you politely.
Therefore, he never expected to be treated with courtesy by his in-laws.
However, the Zhang family knows how to behave, and he would never notice that he was being neglected in front of the Zhang family couple. But it was different today. Mr. Zhang did not get up to greet him from the beginning to the end, and he spoke forcefully. From the moment he walked in until now, he has not even said a nice word.
Didn't say anything, let alone exchange pleasantries.
"In-laws, what happened?" Luo's father asked boldly: "Why was my daughter so seriously injured? She is pregnant and has twins. What do the people around her do to eat? Such a big girl
Why is there no one accompanying the Zhang family?"
"The child in your daughter's belly is not of my Zhang family's blood at all." Mr. Zhang said calmly: "After she was exposed, she felt that she had no face to face us, so she wanted to commit suicide. Our whole family couldn't stop her..."
Hearing this, Luo's father reacted suddenly and looked at his daughter again with eyes full of hatred. There are some things that outsiders don't know, but they and their husbands know it best. The thought of losing such a good in-law made him anxious.
Scratching the heart and scratching the liver.
However, there is still a chance to make amends. You cannot blame your daughter in front of everyone. This kind of thing must not be admitted.
"My dear, I don't quite understand what you mean. You seem to be saying that my daughter is stealing from someone else. But after she left the house, she rarely even returned home, and we didn't find out that she had secret dealings with anyone before we came here...
…”
Mr. Zhang was really fed up with their open-minded lies. Luo Xiaowu was like this just now, and now the couple were so stubborn. He was too lazy to say anything, so he called the steward who told him the truth and asked him to explain the matter.
Say it exactly as it is.
Listening to the steward's words, the Luo family and his wife became more and more depressed. They did not dare to face the eyes of the Zhang family at all.
Because these are all true.
It is true that Zhang Mingli cannot have a child. What they understand better is that the Zhang family really wants a child. If this child is really related to the Zhang family, or if they are not sure whether it is of Zhang family blood, it will not lead to the current situation.
so.
If you are confronted face to face, there will be no room for change.
Luo's mother was frightened. She didn't expect her daughter to be so courageous. After getting pregnant with someone, she still blamed the Zhang family... Couldn't she have left the child quietly?
It was better now. It seemed that the Luo family had deliberately found an adulterer outside to defraud the Zhang family of their money after getting pregnant. Thinking of this, her heart was pounding. If this was brought to court, the entire Luo family would not be able to escape.
When she looked at her daughter who was unconscious on the ground, she felt like she had murderous intentions.
Seeing the silence of the couple, Mr. Zhang waved his hand: "Take the person away first. You will be annoyed by the sight. We will see you in court later."
He didn't really want to file a lawsuit, he just didn't want to let the Luo family off easily. But at the moment, he was angry and was not rational enough no matter what he did. He was afraid that he would be impulsive and act too harshly and get involved in a lawsuit again.
Luo's father was unwilling to give in, his mind was spinning very fast, and he quickly came up with an idea: "The in-laws should calm down. We have to discuss this matter in the long term." He looked at Zhang Mingli: "I like this son-in-law very much, but Xiaowu... is too...
She is young, too naive, and does not have enough brains. She was really deceived, so she did such a bold thing. Everyone will make mistakes in this life, and if you are lucky, you will be forgiven."
Zhang Mingli couldn't bear it: "I will not forgive her!"
Father Luo didn't dare to get angry after being robbed of his words: "Just listen to what I have to say. If it doesn't make sense, it won't be too late to kick us out!"
As soon as these words came out, Mr. Zhang said nothing.
He didn't say anything to chase people away, he just acquiesced. Luo's father secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
However, Luo's mother did not feel relaxed. Her heart was in her throat, fearing that the man could not persuade her and the whole family would become a prisoner. But let her speak for herself, and she could not explain the reason.
Veins popped out on the backs of his fists, and his forehead was already covered with beads of sweat.
Luo's father pondered for a moment and said: "Everyone here knows why our marriage was established in the first place. Mingli's body is infertile. As a man, with such a hidden disease, it is hard to talk about it or not. In-laws,
Do you think this is okay? Let's keep this child first, and when she is born, she will be regarded as a bloodline of the Zhang family. If Mingli has other children in the future, we will send him away."
If not, keep the child as your own.
A family like the Zhang family cannot have heirs!
Mr. Zhang was thoughtful.
Mrs. Zhang couldn't hold back her anger and suddenly stood up and yelled: "How shameless. Your family is really good at calculating. Let your daughter give birth to a bastard and take over the wealth that my Zhang family has worked hard to save for several lifetimes. Bah!"
Zhang Mingli's face was solemn: "I will never raise a bastard! Even if I am laughed at, I will admit it."
The last sentence was said very reluctantly.
Compared with his aunt and Luo Xiaowu on the ground, he hated the latter even more. The former caused him to suffer from a hidden illness and he could not lift his head for the rest of his life. But he had accepted the matter, and he was even more annoyed by Luo Xiaowu's deception.
It gave him hope, then disappointed him, and stepped him into the mud. No one could accept it.
Under such circumstances, how could he raise Luo Xiaowu's child? He even had to raise him as his own and take over everything in the Zhang family in the future?
It would be uncomfortable to have this matter brought to bear on oneself. Mr. Zhang is a little better. He has been in business for many years and has seen the world. He is angry and angry. How much sense does he still have? Just now, he even thought of beating someone.
None, so I just wanted to send the Luo family away.
In fact, in his heart, let alone beating people, he wished he could chop these people into pieces!
To a certain extent, Luo's father's proposal is quite reliable! With this child, his son will no longer be discussed by others, and the rumors that he cannot have children will be self-explanatory. Even if everyone is muttering, they will never dare to say it.
In front of them. However, seeing the resistance from his wife and children, Mr. Zhang had no intention of leaving Luo Xiaowu anymore and waved his hand: "You guys can go back!"
Luo's father still wanted to pester him. Seeing the impatience on Mr. Zhang's face, he was afraid of offending him. In desperation, he had no choice but to seriously admit his mistake and apologize. He and his wife helped their daughter up, and the three of them stumbled away.
.
Not long after returning home, before Luo Xiaowu woke up and the couple's anger had not yet been vented, they heard that there was a fire in their yard.
It was still broad daylight, how could the yard catch fire?
The couple hurriedly went out, but they smelled a big smell of smoke and a faint smell of kerosene from a distance. Fortunately, the neighbor next to them reacted quickly and kept putting out the fire with buckets and basins. The two of them didn't have time to stop the fire.
Thinking about it, I started splashing water with whatever I had handy.
After working hard for half an hour, the fire was finally put out. Because it was discovered quickly, no one was hurt, not even the house next door. Just as the two of them breathed a sigh of relief, someone else came to the door.
This time, it was the future in-law of their third child whom they had just agreed upon. After coming to the door, he threw the marriage certificate on the ground, saying that he could not afford it.
As for why he can't reach such a high level, he won't say a word.
The couple looked disgraced and looked at each other, then couldn't help but slumped to the ground.
"You can't do this, you have to find a way to plead for mercy." Mother Luo cheered up: "Today's fire came out of nowhere, someone must have done it on purpose..."
"Shut up!" Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Luo's father. After all, the yard they lived in was not big, and there were neighbors just across the wall. They had just finished putting out the fire, and there were many people talking about it next door and outside.
If the two of you speak louder, outsiders will hear you.
Luo's mother felt aggrieved: "Our family has suffered such a big loss, why can't we even talk about it? Fortunately, it's broad daylight. If it were night, by the time we found out, it would be too late, and the whole family might be buried in the flames."
After hearing this, Luo's father also felt that this was likely to happen.
The matter is very serious and a solution must be found immediately. He sighed: "How do you want to plead for mercy?"
Luo's mother was speechless, and after a while she said: "We can only find someone to help us make peace!"
But the reason why the Luo family was able to marry the Zhang family was not because of someone's matchmaking, but because their family had many heirs, and the Zhang family had always been interested in Xiao Wu's ability to have a boy!
Luo's father frowned and thought for a long time, but he couldn't think of anyone he knew from home who had the face to make the Zhang family relent.
When their legs were numb, Luo's mother asked tentatively: "What about Zhao Shuangyu... we barely know each other, and she can talk to the Zhang family. I heard Xiao Wu say before that she has everything in her hands."
If she is willing to help, there should be some hope."
In fact, she also knew about the grievances between Zhao Shuangyu and the Zhang family, but they really couldn't find the right person. Among the people they knew, this was the only one who was more reliable.
When Luo's father heard her proposal, he felt that there were many things wrong with it. But, again, they didn't know who else to turn to besides this person.
Luo's mother did as she said: "I'll go find her!"
"Can you find her?" Luo's father also stood up: "She is not in the Zhao family now. We may not be able to enter the Lu family's high-gate compound."
Give it a try whether you can get in or not!
You can't do nothing and wait to die here!
Chu Yunli was still in the shop when she waited for the Luo couple.
From a distance, he saw Luo's mother's haggard features. Chu Yunli's expression was calm: "Look, you two are not here to buy anything. Do you want to see me if you have something?"
After hearing this, people felt relieved. They didn't know how to speak at first, but the words were handed to them. Luo's father was not polite: "Xiao Wu did something wrong, and the Zhang family refused to forgive him. Can you
Can't you help us make peace?"
"I don't have such a big face in front of the Zhang family. It's too late for them to hate me." Chu Yunli asked curiously: "What wrong did your daughter do?"
You're just trying to be content with others, you're still trying to pin this child down on the heads of the Zhang family... How can you say this kind of thing?
Luo's mother looked a little embarrassed: "I heard that Mr. Zhang is very considerate to you, and I'll tell you the truth. If we don't agree on this matter, our whole family will probably be in bad luck. As long as you are willing to save us this time, our whole family will give you a lot of help in the future."
You can be a cow or a horse."
Chu Yunli was curious: "What bad luck will happen?"
Father Luo sighed: "Our yard was on fire just now, and we almost couldn't save it. I smelled the smell of kerosene."
