The sweater she was wearing was tight, so it was easy to see her stomach was slightly swollen.
According to Li Xuâs experience, she was at least four months pregnant.
She quickly understood that it must be Li Yongâs doing.
âLi Yong, that bastard! Iâll beat him to death!â she said through gritted teeth.
She got up and was about to go back to her room to change her clothes. At this time, Zhang Kun had already come out and quickly stopped her. âThereâs no point in killing him now. Letâs quickly think of a way.â
Qin Xiaominâs expression was a little scared. Ji Yuanyuan went forward, held her hand, and comforted her in a low voice, âAuntie Xiaomin, donât be afraid. Iâll protect you and the baby.â
Qin Xiaomin had appeared at her door so early in the morning. Qin Zhiye and Niu Ailan must have found out about her pregnancy, and she had taken the opportunity to escape.
When Qin Xiaomin heard Ji Yuanyuanâs words, she felt a lump in her throat and almost burst into tears.
Ever since she found out she was pregnant, Ji Yuanyuan was the first person to treat the child in her stomach as life.
Her hands were cold, and she was afraid that Ji Yuanyuan would get cold, so she subconsciously pulled her hands away.
However, Ji Yuanyuan reached out and held Qin Xiaominâs hand again, carefully rubbing her hands to keep them warm.
She could tell that Auntie Xiaomin truly liked Second Uncle and was trying her best to marry him.
Auntie Xiaomin was so good to Second Uncle, so she wanted to be good to Auntie Xiaomin.
Li Xu stood at the door of the bedroom. Her breathing was rapid, and her mind was a mess.
What to do? What else could she do? Whoever caused the trouble would have to clean it up!
Li Xu pushed Zhang Kunâs hand away. âHl call my family and ask him to get his ass over here.â
She entered the bedroom and started to put on her clothes.
Ji Ziâang and Ji Zixuan were also woken up by the noise. They opened the bedroom door and stood outside curiously.
Zhang Kun looked at the two of them and whispered, âIt has nothing to do with the two of you. Hurry up and go back to sleep.â
He stepped forward and pushed the two boys into the bedroom before closing the door.
Li Xu had already put on her clothes and was about to go down to make a call.
Zhang Kun suddenly remembered something. âForget it. Iâll go back. Iâm afraid the store isnât open yet.â
There was no telephone installed in his hometown, so he had to call the small shop.
However, it was only six oâclock. There was not much work in the countryside in winter, so everyone got up late.
They were probably still sleeping at home at this time!
Even if Li Xu called, no one would probably answer.
After hearing Zhang Kunâs words, Li Xu hesitated for a moment and then said, âThen be careful on the road. Call Father, Mother, and Little Lei!â
Zhang Kun was already at the door. He put on his coat and said, âI got it!â
Zhang Kun quickly took the key and left.
After the door was closed, Li Xuâs emotions gradually calmed down.
Thatâs right, things had already come to this point, so she could only think of a way.
She could only hope Qin Xiaominâs parents would not be too angry for the sake of their child.
It was a good thing to have a child. She was just angry with Li Yong. How could he do such a thing at this time?
Qin Xiaominâs parents might even think their family had deliberately made Qin Xiaomin pregnant so she would have no choice but to marry into their family!
It would be a wonder if she felt comfortable!
Since he wanted to marry Qin Xiaomin and live with her for the rest of his life⦠He had to consider the old manâs thoughts and could not act recklessly.
Moreover, getting pregnant before marriage was not good for Qin Xiaominâs reputation.
She suppressed her emotions with great difficulty and went to the kitchen.
Soon, she came out with a cup of hot water.
She placed the hot water in front of Qin Xiaomin and said in a low voice, âDrink some warm water to warm your stomach!â
Qin Xiaominâs eyes were red. She took the hot water and took small sips.
âYou know youâre pregnant, but youâre still ruining yourself? Whatâs so great that you have to run out of the house?â Li Xu said in a low voice.
Her heart ached for Qin Xiaomin. The two houses were not close to each other. She had walked over in such a thin layer of clothing and had been waiting outside for a long time. Fortunately, Yuanyuan had found out. What if she had not? Was she going to continue waiting?
Hearing that, Qin Xiaomin blinked her eyes and said in a choked voice, âMy mother wanted to take me to the hospital to abort the child. I ran out when they werenât paying attention.â
Li Xu was stunned for a moment before she asked, âDoes Li Yong know that youâre pregnant?â
âNo, he doesnât know.â Qin Xiaomin shook her head.
Li Xu heaved a sigh of relief. If Li Yong knew Qin Xiaomin was pregnant and didnât think of a solution, he wouldnât be a human anymore.
Luckily, he didnât know.
âWhy didnât you tell him?â Li Xu asked again.
Qin Xiaomin was already an adult. She must have known that she was pregnant.
But why didnât she tell Li Yong or her family?
Qin Xiaominâs voice was choked, âIâm afraid heâll make me abort it. I donât want to wait anymoreâ¦â
Looking at Qin Xiaominâs expression, Li Xu couldnât continue asking.
Ji Yuanyuan was sitting beside Qin Xiaomin, and her heart ached for her.
This silly girl, in order to marry her Second Uncle, she actually defiled herself like this.
She must have known long ago that she was pregnant and wanted to hide it for now. She would wait until her pregnancy was too big and could not abort it.
At that time, the child could only be born.
Since the child was already born, her parents could not let her be a single mother, so they could only agree to her marriage with her Second Uncle.
Auntie Xiaomin had really given up too much for Second Uncle.
If Second Uncle let Auntie Xiaomin down one day, she would be the first to disagree.
She reached out and patted Qin Xiaominâs shoulder, comforting her in a baby voice, âAuntie Xiaomin, donât be afraid. My Second Uncle will definitely take responsibility for you.â
Ji Yuanyuanâs words made Li Xu laugh.
âHow did you know?â she said to Ji Yuanyuan in a bad mood, âWhen he comes later, no one is allowed to protect him!â
In less than an hour, someone knocked on the door.
Li Xu went to open the door. It was Zhang Kun who had brought his family over.
Li Xu looked at Li Yong, who had his head lowered and held back her anger. She looked at Zhang Kun and said, âItâs past seven o âclock. Hurry to the unit. Thereâs nothing at home.â
Zhang Kun was a little hesitant. He was afraid that Li Xu would get angry. If he was there, he could still persuade her.
Seeing this, Li Lei pushed him. âItâs fine, Brother-in-law. Go to work. Donât be late.â
He whispered to Zhang Kun, âHl try to persuade him. Itâs fine.â
Only then did Zhang Kun feel relieved. âOkay, Hl go then.â
Li Xu made way for them at the door. Everyone except Zhang Kun entered the house.
Li Xu closed the door and looked around.
Finally, she went to the kitchen and took out a rolling pin.
At the sight of the rolling pin, Li Yong shivered and hid behind Ji Yuanyuan. âSister, I was wrong. I know I was wrong. Please forgive me!â
Li Xu sneered and handed the rolling pin to Li Zhiming. âFather, you do it!â
Her father and mother were still around, so it was not her place as an Elder Sister to lecture them..
