Liu Gang loves children but loves his future even more. Originally, he thought he could use this large-scale military exercise to get a promotion, or at the very least, transfer to a better unit. But because of Ai Mei, everything was ruined! How could he not hate her!
This time, he ignored Ai Mei completely, wishing she was dead.
Ai Mei was filled with anger; she wasn’t afraid at all! After all, someone above was backing her. You won’t benefit from this! Let you busy yourself for nothing, hmph! Her mood was getting worse, and her stomach started feeling uncomfortable.
It was time to depart; everyone was saying their goodbyes to their wives and children, getting on the bus and leaving.
Just then, Ai Mei suddenly screamed, "Aah! My stomach!"
Upon hearing the scream, many women nearby took several steps back, fearing they might get involved. This woman was like a troublemaker; if you helped her, you wouldn’t get any benefit and might even get scolded, perhaps even resented. What’s the point of that?
Liu Gang was already on the bus and frowned upon hearing his wife’s scream, staying silent. What was she up to now?
Someone said, "Liu Gang, something’s not right with your wife!"
"Don’t worry about her; she’s always like that. Let’s set off and not let my family’s issues affect the troops’ important matters."
The leader signaled to start the bus, but then another scream came. Ai Mei shouted, "Liu Gang, you bastard! Aren’t you going to care about your child? My stomach hurts so much!"
Another woman said, "Blood, there’s blood!"
She was wearing gray pants, now with a red stain visible. She was so scared she collapsed to the ground.
Everyone rushed over, knowing they couldn’t just ignore this. No matter what, she was a military spouse, and they couldn’t let her have a miscarriage on the ground like this.
Sun Chan and Zheng Lijuan were pregnant, moving slowly, and others wouldn’t let them pass either. They were quickly pushed aside.
An older military spouse said, "You better stay away. Didn’t they say royalty avoids royalty? You’re all pregnant, and if something happens, they’ll surely blame you. Countryside folks have many superstitions; better keep away."
Initially, Ai Mei hadn’t thought that way, but after hearing the woman’s words, she started thinking like that too and immediately got furious.
"Now I know why I haven’t been feeling well day and night. It’s your fault! Why are you hurting my child? I’ll never let you off!" She even began rolling on the ground, screaming incessantly.
Everyone tried to console her, "Don’t think too much. It’s all just feudal superstition."
Sun Chan and Zheng Lijuan weren’t inclined to interfere, and after hearing Ai Mei’s words, they felt even less obligated. They offered some words of comfort before leaving, but it had no effect and merely earned them harsh glares.
She said, "Hurry up and go! Your children are hurting mine. If anything happens to my child, I’ll never forgive you!"
Zheng Lijuan was infuriated, "So, just because we live in the same compound, you can have children, and we can’t?"
"How dare you talk back? If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t be this unlucky and troubled; it’s all your doing!"
Zheng Lijuan wanted to argue, but Sun Chan stopped her. What’s the point of getting angry at such an unreasonable person?
They waved goodbye to their husbands on the bus and walked hand in hand, neither one disturbing the other.
Liu Gang had no choice but to carry Ai Mei out to hail a cab, heading straight to the city hospital.
Ai Mei, lying there, continued to cry, "You bastard, I will definitely get my revenge! Don’t think that, because you’re doing all this for me now, I’ll forgive you! If anything happens to the child, it’s all your fault. I’ll fight you to death!"
Liu Gang sat in the front passenger seat, turned around coldly to glance at his wife lying there, and said nothing.
Arriving quickly at the hospital, it just so happened that Wan Yunhong was on duty. Upon seeing Ai Mei, she frowned; dealing with this troublesome woman made it impossible to participate in a mission. Shi Qing had managed to dispel suspicions only with great effort, and now she’s causing trouble again!
Wan Yunhong mumbled a few words to her colleague, unwilling to come over.
The colleague agreed to switch shifts and went to care for Ai Mei.
Ai Mei’s stomach pains came in waves, yet she continuously blamed the nurses for being slow and criticized Liu Gang, finding fault with everyone. She went into the emergency room like this.
Liu Gang slumped into a chair nearby, clutching his hair. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚
What a terrible woman!
Wan Yunhong glanced at him, thinking he deserved it. Did he think he could just manipulate people and not face consequences? Once the child is born, what good days will you have left? She turned and walked away.
Liu Gang remained seated with his eyes closed, thinking, are these matters and a child really so important to have reduced him to this? Even if the child is saved this time, how can life continue?
Living like a servant every day, could he tolerate that!
