1014 Give Me a Lifeline
“I… I can’t be pregnant, right? How can I get pregnant so easily?” Qiao Yu said guiltily.
Qiao Yu’s understanding of this was solely based on her observations of her relatives. She had seen her elder brothers and sisters-in-law doing these things before, but she had never heard of anyone getting pregnant after just once. How could there be such a coincidence? This must be Qiao Mei’s scheme. She would not fall for it.
“Xia Zhe and I manage to hit the jackpot after just once and I even become pregnant with twins. So, nothing is impossible in this world. I’m doing this for your own good. Mom, don’t you think what I’m doing is right?” Qiao Mei said.
“That’s right! This will allow us to be able to answer to your father and we can be considered to have done our duty. Xiao Yu, listen to Mei Mei and go to the hospital to get checked out,” Li Gui said gently.
The entire family looked at Qiao Yu as if they were looking at a monkey. There was no look of concern on their faces at all. Everyone was just curious to see Qiao Yu’s reaction. If something had really happened between Qiao Yu and Su Liang, how could she have spent the night so steadily in Li Gui’s courtyard? How could she not be afraid of getting pregnant? How could she not be afraid of having to marry a scumbag like Su Liang because she was expecting his child?
At first, Qiao Yu was still thinking about how to explain herself, but when she saw the mocking expression on Xia He’s face, she finally understood that all of this was just an act put on for her.
“All of you! You already know, don’t you! Qiao Mei, tell me, do you already know something!” Qiao Yu widened her eyes and looked at Qiao Mei.
“At this point, you should tell us the truth. Su Liang has already confessed. What else do you have to hide? Or can it be that something really happened between the two of you? My mother is still a family elder after all. If you’ve really been defiled, we can also hold a wedding for you and be your witnesses,” Qiao Mei said.
Qiao Yu sat on the ground weakly. It looked like there was no way out for her and it was all thanks to Qiao Mei. Originally, she had a good job and there were even people who wooed her. At some point, even the people in the factory were a little wary of her. If not for Qiao Mei causing her to lose her job, she would not have ended up in this situation.
“Qiao Mei! Why are you the only one benefiting from everything! Why am I always suffering? You’re just lucky enough to live in Qiao Qiang’s house! If I could also be born in Qiao Qiang’s house, I wouldn’t be like this!” Qiao Yu said aggrievedly.
Qiao Mei did not say anything. She was not the original owner of the body and did not go through the miserable experiences which the original owner of the body did when she was young. However, the memories still existed. Even though the physical pain did not matter anymore, the feeling of despair which the original owner of the body felt as she lay inside the pigsty in the snow was something that Qiao Mei did not want to experience ever again in her life.
Everyone had their own hardships. Qiao Yu was indeed pitiful as well, but she had used Qiao Zhuang’s reputation as a “village tyrant” and done all kinds of nasty things and bullied many people. She deserved what she was getting today.
“Even if you become Qiao Mei, you won’t be Qiao Mei,” Xia Wen said.
Qiao Mei looked at Xia Wen for a long time. Xia Wen’s eyes were as clear as spring water, but underneath the spring water was a bottomless pit. This statement gave her great courage. It was as if she had gained the family’s approval.
“You want to become Qiao Mei? As if you’re worthy! You’re not even worthy to be Qiao Mei’s toes! Have you forgotten how you came to the capital? Have you forgotten how you lied to us? Do you feel at ease taking on the job at the textile factory? All of this doesn’t belong to you at all. Stop daydreaming,” Xia He said mockingly.
Qiao Yu suddenly broke free from Xiao An’s grip and knelt on the ground as she looked at Qiao Mei and begged, “Since all of you already know what happened, then you can’t send me back! I won’t go back to Qiao Zhuang’s side even if I have to die! He will marry me off to that disgusting old man! As long as you give me a way to survive, I definitely won’t disturb you again!”
At this point, nothing was important anymore. The most important thing was to have a chance of survival. The worst thing that could happen to her if she stayed in the capital was to marry Su Liang. However, if she returned to Foshan Village, that would be the real hell for her. Qiao Zhuang would skin her alive and then sell her for a good price. Her entire life would be over!
Even if she had to die, she wanted to die in the capital!
“It’s also because of you that we are able to successfully put Su Liang in jail. You still don’t know about this, do you?” Qiao Mei said happily.
