"Wait, sis, I'll go call Mom." Yi Xiaofeng was also frightened and quickly ran back to get help.
By the time they got Yi Xiaoli to the hospital, the doctor shook his head after the examination and said the child couldn't be saved. In less than half a day, a palm-sized stillborn baby girl was delivered. Yi Xiaoli hadn't even had time to grieve before her mother repeatedly warned her not to tell Ye Zijun that the child was lost because of Yi Xiaofeng.
"Xiaoli, you mustn't say it was because of Xiaofeng that you lost the baby. I'm afraid Zijun will hold a grudge against him, and if you say that, your in-laws will definitely have something to say about it too. Just say you tripped and fell; that way, they won't blame you."
"But it's my child." After all, it was her daughter whom she had carried for months, and Yi Xiaoli still felt heartbroken.
"She's just a little girl; even if she were born, she'd just be a financial burden. What's there to be upset about? Besides, you already have one child. It's not like you can't have another. Tomorrow I'll buy you a pound of meat to help you regain your strength, and then you can get pregnant again," Yi Xiaoli's mother said dismissively.
Yi Xiaoli understood Ye Zijun's temperament. If he found out that this child was lost because of Xiaofeng, he definitely wouldn't let it go easily. So when Ye Zijun came over, she followed her mother's advice and said she had accidentally tripped.
Ye Zijun didn't suspect anything and even felt sorry for Yi Xiaoli, allowing her to rest for a full half month as if in confinement.
Hao Chunying recounted the events, and Ye Fangfei hadn't realized there was such a story behind it. When Yi Xiaoli had fallen and lost the baby, Ye Fangfei had brought something to visit her and felt quite sorry for her niece who hadn't even been born yet. She had comforted Yi Xiaoli at the time but didn't expect that Yi Xiaoli had told such a big lie that deceived their entire family.
But how would Ye Zijun find out? Since Yi Xiaoli's family had chosen to keep it from him initially, they wouldn't suddenly tell him now.
Ye Fangfei thought this through and asked aloud, "Isn't it because your brother and Yi Xiaoli had an argument over money?"
"Your brother calmed down for a few days but still couldn't let go of Yi Xiaoli or something like that; I'm not sure about the details. He just wanted to go to Yi Xiaoli's house to talk with her."
As fate would have it, on his way to Yi Xiaoli's house, he happened to overhear Yi Xiaofeng arguing with some lowlife about money.
"Give me back the hundred bucks! Otherwise, I'll report you for causing my sister's miscarriage!"
"If my brother-in-law finds out, he won't let you off," Yi Xiaofeng said to the thug.
"Ha! You think you can report me? I should be the one reporting you for bullying my girlfriend!" the thug retorted.
"You say I pushed your sister. What evidence do you have? As long as I don't admit it, you're just making false accusations."
"But I have evidence of you being a creep!" Yi Xiaofeng shot back.
"If I report you, you'll end up being criticized and sent to a labor camp." The thug wasn't one to back down easily; he wouldn't let himself be threatened.
"I wasn't being a creep; I was clearly dating her."
"You all set me up on purpose!" Yi Xiaofeng finally realized he had been deceived.
"So what? What proof do you have?"
"I'll tell you this: if you don't want to go to jail, you'll have to pay me twenty bucks every month. Otherwise, I'll report you."
Hearing this, Ye Zijun understood that his daughter was involved in this mess and could no longer hold back his anger. He charged at the thug and landed a punch right on his face.
Yi Xiaofeng exclaimed in surprise, "Brother-in-law!"
The thug recognized Ye Zijun and felt a pang of fear; he turned and ran away.
Seeing the thug flee, Ye Zijun didn't pursue him but instead turned to give Yi Xiaofeng a beating. After that, he didn't seek out Yi Xiaoli but headed straight home, his resolve to get a divorce solidifying in his heart.
