Free Web NovelChapter 658: Chapter 658: Saving You Isn’t Worth a Piece of Char Siu
Tong Huaqiong and Tong Pandie arrived at the old Gu Family estate to find Tong Fusheng and his family of three lying on the ground, moaning.
Wu Na was wailing inside the house, while the doctor passed through the crowd carrying his box and headed towards the house.
Mrs. Gu glanced at Tong Huaqiong and Tong Pandie, thinking that there’s not a single decent person among the Tong Family.
Mrs. Jia, having heard the news from outside, rushed through the crowd, screamed, kicked Mrs. Wang twice, and then grabbed Tong Fusheng and Tong Zhijie, scratching up their faces.
Mrs. Jia was angry at Tong Zhijie for injuring Wu Na’s child, and at Tong Fusheng for disrespectfully entering his son’s room.
She wished she could kill both of them.
Tong Fusheng’s family of three screamed as Mrs. Jia scratched them, while Tong Huaqiong and Tong Pandie watched indifferently.
Tong Pandie sneered inwardly, never expecting her parents and Tong Zhijie to be so embarrassing.
"If anything happens to my grandson, none of you will get away," Mrs. Jia said, her eyes fierce, pointing at Tong Zhijie’s legs, "I’ll cripple your son first."
Tong Zhijie’s legs trembled.
Mrs. Wang was equally terrified.
She hadn’t expected Wu Na to be so fierce, pregnant and able to beat her son and husband so viciously. What kind of pregnant woman is that fierce?
This led her to be overly protective of her husband and son, forgetting that Wu Na was pregnant during the fight.
If she had remembered, she would have stopped her son from pushing Wu Na.
If Wu Na really had a miscarriage, not only would Mrs. Jia not let them off, but the entire Gu Family clan wouldn’t either.
This is Qinghe Bay; ultimately, it’s Gu Family’s territory.
Mrs. Wang prayed to Buddha and Bodhisattva, hoping nothing would happen to the child in Wu Na’s belly.
Tong Fusheng grimaced in pain, unable to maintain his calm scholar image.
The old Gu Family estate and the second branch were indeed ruthless, they were kin wrapped in kin, showing no mercy towards them.
If only Mrs. Gu had loaned them the clothes from the beginning, none of this would have happened.
But she had to tear things apart.
What’s even worse is the biological daughter and the young nun, they were truly harsh, standing by and watching them get beaten.
Soon, the doctor emerged from Wu Na and Gu Ruinian’s room with his box.
"How’s the person?"
"How’s the child?"
Village Chief Liu and Old Mr. Gu and others asked eagerly.
"The adult is fine. The child shows signs of miscarriage, needs some tonic medicine like bird’s nest and ginseng," the doctor said, shaking his head with a sigh.
During this whole month, I ran countless times to the Wu Family.
Every time it was because of the child in Wu Na’s belly.
I have never seen a pregnant woman who could be so troublesome, yet despite that, the child is still okay.
In my opinion, Wu Na’s pregnancy is very stable, but Wu Na keeps shouting about stomach pain, I figured out she is trying to take advantage of the Tong Family.
I didn’t want to stay in the house, the smell was too pungent, so since Wu Na kept saying her belly hurt, I just diagnosed as she wished, after all, ginseng and bird’s nest are good things, suitable for pregnant women, and I don’t have to pay for them.
There are three poor fools lying on the ground.
Mrs. Wang and Tong Fusheng felt relieved hearing Wu Na was fine.
As long as the adult is fine, the child will be fine, then Zhijie will be fine too.
Hearing the child might miscarry, Mrs. Wang nearly fainted.
Tong Fusheng thought it was okay, showing signs isn’t the same as having a miscarriage, right?
Mrs. Jia, feeling blocked by anger, kicked and beat Tong Zhijie again, nearly losing her grandson.
Tong Zhijie curled up after getting hit and rolled towards the feet of Tong Huaqiong and Tong Pandie.
"Aunt, sister, save me."
Tong Huaqiong and Tong Pandie coldly turned away.
Saving you? I’d rather save a piece of barbecue pork.
"Can’t the child be saved?" Old Mr. Gu asked, regaining his composure.
The doctor replied unhurriedly, "Didn’t I just say, with ginseng and bird’s nest supplements, the child can be saved."
Old Mr. Gu gritted his teeth, pointing at the three on the ground, "Did you hear that? You’ll pay for the ginseng and bird’s nest. Otherwise, you’ll leave your Zhijie’s life here."
Mrs. Jia and Gu Youtian glanced at Tong Huaqiong and Tong Pandie, thinking Tong Fusheng’s family of three had no money, smelled bad, and had nothing to offer as compensation, better to squeeze the aunt and niece.
After all, this thing started because of Tong Pandie, they are all Tong Family so no one should get away.
They should have the aunt and niece pay up.
But she dared not say it, Tong Dajiao would be the first to kill her.
Mrs. Wang and Tong Fusheng shut their eyes tightly.
Ginseng and bird’s nest, dear heavens, even if they sold Tong Zhijie, they still couldn’t afford them.
Seeing Mrs. Wang and Tong Fusheng play dead, Old Mr. Gu ordered the Gu Family to bind them up, nobody would leave until this issue was resolved.
A frightened Mrs. Wang sat up.
Paying? That’s impossible.
Ever since Tong Huaqiong and Tong Pandie stopped their allowance, their family had been eating husks and chaff, where they could get money for ginseng and bird’s nest?
Mrs. Wang turned her eyes and said, "Wu Na isn’t that precious, ginseng and bird’s nest are for wealthy families, isn’t it? Who gets pregnant and doesn’t work and cook? I gave birth to three children the same way. Some even get beaten three times a day during pregnancy, never heard anyone’s child miscarried because of that."
The Gu Family gnawed their teeth in frustration at Mrs. Wang’s shamelessness.
They all knew the pregnancy of Wu Na was fine, but they had to use this as an opportunity to extort Tong Family, otherwise, they’d never get a chance.
"My family and Wu Family are in-laws, very aware of Wu Na’s affairs, she wasn’t just discussing marriage with Ruinian, but also with several others, she was pregnant before she got married, who knows who the father is? I guess she fears people might doubt, so she’s using this chance to provoke Zhijie to make him push the child out of her belly. It’s just you guys believing her pregnancy isn’t stable, supplying her with ginseng and bird’s nest."
Unable to beat them, unable to afford compensation, so defame them.
Would Gu Family still supply bird’s nest and ginseng to Wu Na when they suspected the child wasn’t theirs?
The face of Gu Family looked awful.
Those around them wore expressions of curiosity.
In the house, Gu Ruinian’s face darkened as he looked at Wu Na.
Wu Ren had always looked down on Gu Family, Wu Na and Rui Nian had privately promised for life while her family was arranging marriage discussions with others.
Gu Ruinian had some doubt if he had been cuckolded.
After being a pillow person for so long, Wu Na knew he was going to fart at a glance, so she stopped screaming immediately and scratched a row of bloody marks on Gu Ruinian’s face.
"Useless, when Tong Zhijie pushed me, you remained silent, now you’re doubting whether the child in my belly is yours?"
Wu Na shoved Gu Ruinian, disregarding the act of belly pain, dashed out to Mrs. Wang and kicked her.
"I’ll let you spout nonsense, no wonder your body smells, turns out your mouth creates cesspits."
The crowd: "..."
The doctor: "..."
Didn’t they say she showed signs of miscarriage and needed preservation?
Mrs. Wang was nearly crying from Wu Na’s kick.
Not from sadness, but from delight.
"Look, see, I was right, she’s pretending, what pregnant woman facing miscarriage can kick someone so hard."
Mrs. Wang waved both hands towards the crowd, thinking she had grasped the truth.
