Zhang Cuilan returned to the small courtyard in despair. The food basket she carried in her left hand was also empty. She staggered directly into the bedroom without putting the food basket in the kitchen. She fell headlong onto the old wooden bed and couldn't hold back her tears.
Crying in a low voice.
In the early morning, she happily went out to the street with a vegetable basket and passed by a familiar medical clinic.
It suddenly occurred to me that she had been feeling a little uncomfortable lately, feeling dizzy and nauseous, and that her period had not come for a long time. Zhang Cuilan stood there and hesitated for a moment, then lowered her head and walked in quickly.
She had all her ailments treated at this small medical clinic in the past. The old doctor who was there had superb medical skills and she felt reassured.
But after the usually reliable old doctor took her pulse, he smiled and said congratulations to her, saying that she had a happy pulse. After hearing this, Zhang Cuilan was stunned on the spot like a bolt from the blue.
He kept saying: "This is impossible...".
I thought that this old thing must have made a mistake, so I went to another medical clinic to check, but the result was still the same, saying that she had a happy pulse and was pregnant.
Zhang Cuilan felt anxious and uneasy, her pillow was wet with tears, and she didn't know what to do.
She had given birth to a daughter before, but she died in infancy due to illness. Her husband also fell ill and died, so the good people called her "the broom star".
She was living alone in Tianping County with no relatives and friends, and now she was pregnant again. It was obvious that the child in her belly was only conceived because she was abused by that bastard Shen Tianshi.
When a widow is pregnant with a child, the neighbors will talk about it. This makes it impossible for her to live, so she might as well die.
…
Lin Zihe returned to his house angrily. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. Wang Lun was a toad who wanted to eat swan meat. Go ahead and dream!
After drinking some water, he angrily threw the tea cup out and smashed it to pieces on the ground, startling the maid serving beside him.
"Xiaohong, have you had any contact with Miss Liu Tianshi recently?" Lin Zihe asked the maid Xiaohong to come over and asked with squinted eyes.
"Sir, Miss and Liu Tianshi are quite close, and they often break into each other's houses." Xiao Hong lowered her head and replied tremblingly. This was what Lin Hongyu asked her to say.
Lin Zihe asked several times before, but they always lied like this. Xiaohong was very scared every time he told it. In fact, the lady didn't go to Liu Tianshi's house at all. She went on a date with Wang Captou whenever she had time.<
/p>
"You bastard, you are still lying to me here. Then tell me why the young lady was with that Wang Lun just now?" Lin Zihe roared, stood up and slapped Xiaohong directly.
"Master, have mercy on me!" Xiao Hong was slapped to the ground, with a red slap mark on her face, which showed how hard Lin Zihe had used. Xiao Hong's thin body got up and quickly knelt on the ground to beg for mercy.
"Tell me quickly, what is the relationship between Miss and Wang Lun?" Lin Zihe stood up and slapped Xiaohong again, roaring fiercely.
Xiaohong burst into tears and was forced to tell the truth about Lin Hongyu and Wang Lun's love.
"Come here, pull him out and beat him up." Lin Zihe said ruthlessly after hearing this.
"Spare my life! Master," Xiaohong cried as she was dragged out. She knew in her heart that with her body being beaten twenty times, there was no chance of survival.
"Stop, get out of the way." At this moment, Lin Hongyu ran over and kicked away the servant who was holding Xiaohong. It turned out that the maid who was close to Xiaohong saw that the situation was serious and secretly went to Lin Hongyu for help. Fortunately, she rushed
On.
"Dad, what are you doing?" Lin Hongyu asked angrily.
"To deceive the master of the family, what is the use of such a servant?" Lin Zihe said with a straight face.
"Yu'er told her to say that, or else you can beat me twenty times and beat me to death." Lin Hongyu said angrily, and after saying that, she pulled Xiaohong and turned around and walked out. p>
"Hongyu, you..." Lin Zihe's fat body was trembling with anger.
Lin Hongyu asked Xiaohong to pack her luggage first, while she went to the housekeeper to get Xiaohong's bond of sale back. She tore it into pieces in front of Xiaohong's face and freed Xiaohong.
"Thank you, miss." Xiaohong knelt on the ground and said gratefully.
"Silly girl, if I hadn't caused you trouble, how could you be beaten? It's my sister who is sorry for you. This is what I should do. You should keep this one hundred taels of silver and keep it for your future life." Lin Hongyu said to Xiao Hong.
He pulled her up, handed her a banknote, touched Xiaohong's beaten face and said heartbrokenly.
"Miss, Xiaohong can't ask for your money. If you can give me my freedom, Xiaohong will be grateful to you for the rest of my life." Xiaohong quickly returned the silver note to Lin Hongyu.
"Silly sister, take it. This money is of no use to me, but after you leave the county government, how can you live alone without money? Listen to your sister." Lin Hongyu's eyes turned red, and she hugged the money that had been with her since she was a child.
Xiaohong, who is like her own sister, said excitedly.
"Thank you, sister." Xiaohong has always regarded Lin Hongyu as her sister, thinking that she is lucky to be able to serve such a good young lady.
The two cried goodbye, and Lin Hongyu asked the guards to take Xiaohong to Wang Lun, and asked him to arrange for someone to send Xiaohong out of Tianping County. She was afraid that her father would cause trouble for Xiaohong again, so she did not go to see her off in person, but stayed at the county government office.
Looking at his father.
"Tell me! Why did you and Wang Lun get together if I didn't ask you to get closer to Liu Tianshi?" Lin Zihe scolded. The three members of the Lin family were sitting in Lin Hongyu's boudoir, and the atmosphere was a bit solemn.
"Yu'er, what's going on? Tell mother, is it Wang Lun who bullied you?" Mrs. Lin asked angrily. She had always had a good impression of Wang Lun. He had a good appearance and was considered a talented person.
.
"No mother, Brother Wang treats me very well. It's just that Master Liu doesn't look down on Yu'er at all, and Yu'er doesn't want to make a fool of herself anymore."
"Yu'er just fell in love with Master Liu Tianshi out of confusion. Now that I think about it, she just fell in love with him as an immortal cultivator. Now Yu'er has figured it out." Lin Hongyu said aggrievedly.
"As a cultivator, Liu Tianshi is a bit unsympathetic. Xiaoyu, you think too much. As long as you have more contact, they will naturally become harmonious." Lin Zihe quickly persuaded him, he didn't want such a good marriage to be blown away like this.
, even though this marriage is his unilateral fantasy.
"Damn fat man, what are you talking about? I've long been unhappy with that bullshit Heavenly Master, so that's fine." Mrs. Lin heard Lin Zihe's nonsense and cursed angrily.
"Madam, even if Yu'er and Liu Tianshi are not destined to be together, you can't just find someone to marry!" Lin Zihe didn't dare to talk back, so he could only follow along.
"Yu'er, tell mother how far your relationship with Wang Lun has developed." Mrs. Lin came to sit next to Lin Hongyu and asked.
"Yes! Have you ever been taken advantage of by him?" Lin Zihe asked nervously, fearing that Lin Hongyu's innocence would be damaged.
"Mom, look what dad said, Yu'er and Brother Wang are innocent." Lin Hongyu glared at Lin Zihe and said angrily.
