Chapter 741: Chapter 746: The First Sign of Red
"Wicked woman, how do you know the child in your belly is a son?"
Da Ya stood in front of her own mother, looking at Ruo Lan with a fierce and angry gaze.
The pain of not having borne a son haunted her mother’s entire life, and she would not let anyone expose her mother’s scars.
Granny Liu scolded, "With such character, it’s no wonder your father wants to sell you off, whoever raises you is cursed!"
"Keep your mouth clean on my doorstep, or I’ll beat you so hard you’ll be looking for your teeth!" Qiao Duo’er opened the door and said angrily.
What have Hu’s Clan and Da Ya done to deserve such humiliation?
Ruo Lan wiped her tears, "Mrs. Tan, I truly know I was wrong, it’s all my fault, but please save my child, I don’t want him to have to spend his life looking up to others!"
"If the child is Zheng Hong’s, I’ll willingly leave, but if not, I want you to get lost," Qiao Duo’er said slowly.
Granny Liu was hopping mad, "How can you say that? By the time the child is born, it’ll be too late for everything!"
But Ruo Lan was very calm, "Mrs. Tan, I hope you’ll keep your word."
If she dared to let word out, it meant she was pretty confident about it.
"A word spoken is past recalling, but if you don’t believe me I can go find the village chief to write a contract," Qiao Duo’er said decisively. If this child really is Tan Zhenghong’s, there’s no point for her and Tan Zhenghong to continue together.
Granny Liu glared at Qiao Duo’er, "I’m supporting her and the child with food and drink, shouldn’t you give me the Silver first?"
"If you think the child is Ah Hong’s, you can continue to shelter them, but I’m not going to advance one Wen Money," Qiao Duo’er stated clearly.
Now, Granny Liu was like betting all she had, if right, she’d live comfortably for the rest of her life, otherwise, she would lose everything.
Ruo Lan had tears in her eyes, "Mrs. Tan, why won’t you believe me?"
"Dare not?"
Qiao Duo’er smiled faintly, but her eyes were full of defiance.
Suddenly, Ruo Lan felt a heavy sensation in her lower abdomen and leaned weakly against Granny Liu.
"Save me, my stomach hurts so much!"
Ruo Lan said painfully, clutching her belly.
Granny Liu suddenly saw a smear of red on her pants and urgently shouted, "Move aside, let her in, she’s bleeding!"
They had planned to fake a bellyache during the argument, but how could it be so realistically bloody?
Seeing Ruo Lan’s face as pale as a ghost, she was really scared stiff.
Could it be for real?
Hu’s Clan picked up Ruo Lan horizontally, "You go quickly for the doctor, I’ll carry her back home."
As the saying goes, it’s easy to invite a deity but difficult to send them away; once Ruo Lan entered the door, it would be hard to kick her out.
And this troublemaker was sure to make a mess of the Tan Family.
Granny Liu stamped her feet, "Let her go, shaking her about like that, she’s sure to lose the child."
This woman really likes to meddle, no wonder no one wants her! 𝘯𝑜𝑣𝑝𝑢𝘣.𝑐𝑜𝑚
"I’m strong, I’m holding her very steady, if she dies, it’ll be because you were slow in fetching the doctor," Hu’s Clan said unhurriedly.
Accustomed to heavy labor, her strength wasn’t much less than that of a man, lifting eighty-something pounds of Ruo Lan was easy for her.
This incident happened right at the Tan Family’s Door, and Qiao Duo’er couldn’t avoid getting involved, she had to lock her door and go along.
It was also a good chance to see how big the child really was.
After the examination, Wu Youcai said it was due to emotional distress causing a disturbance in the pregnancy qi, and the pulse was weak, suggesting the child in the womb was likely unwell.
"I advise you to consider giving up on this pregnancy now, she’s still young, she has more chances in the future."
Otherwise, if a problem occurs with the child, both the mother and child will suffer.
