1977: It all started with a wrong love

Chapter 26 Family Conflict
at the same time.

Beijing, Zhong family.

That night, an almost irreconcilable family conflict was also erupting in the Zhong family.

The reason is simple and extremely bloody.

Probably because Zhong Xiuping’s pregnancy was confirmed by her mother.

At first, the mother and daughter kept the matter behind closed doors, hoping to remain calm and handle the matter thoroughly and properly without leaving any future troubles.

As for how to avoid future troubles.

That is undoubtedly, while the fetus in the belly is still small.

Arrange to go to the hospital immediately, have the pregnancy aborted quietly, then recuperate at home for three to five months to get your body back in shape, and then everything can start over again.

The problem is that.

Because of that trip to the airport.

Zhong Xiuping is now like possessed and believes that the child she is carrying is God's will.

She kept emphasizing and making her mother believe that it was God's will that could not be violated.

In fact, deep in her heart, because of the days after she escaped back to Beijing, because of the separation between the two places, and because every time it was late at night, she was always entangled and tormented by the lingering figure of her ex-husband Lu Yifan.

Gradually, she began to miss it more and more.

After three years of marriage, the little things between the two...

I have always been deliberately pursuing marriage first and love later, a feeling of emotional communication from the depths of my soul.

When we were in the countryside, people were standing by and had no idea what was happening.

Now that we are separated from each other, we are like strangers.

Instead, she became obsessed, and finally understood more and more clearly what it felt like to get married first and then fall in love.

Of course Zhong Xiuping was too embarrassed to admit it.

She was immersed in the whirlpool of beautiful and crazy love that night before their separation.

The more you want to completely forget it, the more you treat it as a dream and say goodbye to the past completely.

On the contrary, deep in her heart, there was another devilish voice. Every day, every night, as long as her mind was free, the increasingly uncontrollable devilish voice in her mind would begin to chant a mantra, reminding her that she was a female version of Chen Shimei, an ungrateful, selfish and mean person.

terrible!

Now, this child who is destined by heaven has appeared.

Zhong Xiuping believed more and more in the "devil" voice in her mind, which was actually the salvation of her soul.

Because she had done something wrong, she now had to endure such mental torment and punishment.

All members of the Zhong family are gathered tonight, preparing to hold a family meeting.

The participants included Zhong Xiuping's parents, her eldest and second brothers, and her eldest and second sisters. As for the brothers and sisters' spouses, they were not qualified to attend this family meeting.

The Zhong family is not just a native family.

Zhong's mother was a second wife. Her eldest brother and sister had the same father as Zhong Xiuping but different mothers. Her second brother and second sister were orphans of their father's comrades-in-arms.

In other words, only Zhong Xiuping is Zhong's biological mother.

In fact, such slightly complicated family relationships were not uncommon in that war-torn era.

Zhong Xiuping is the only child born after the founding of the People's Republic of China. Therefore, she was the most favored when she was young and was definitely the little princess of the Zhong family.

But it is precisely because she is the most favored little princess.

When the flood came, her parents suffered, and Zhong Xiuping was also affected. She had no choice but to go to the countryside to work as an educated youth at a young age. The whole family was filled with endless guilt. "Xiuping, please don't be impulsive and stupid. As a single young woman, you will have to give birth to a child, raise a child, and let the child grow up healthily. Do you know what this means?"

"Third sister, what the eldest sister said is right. You must not do anything stupid. The baby in your belly is still small, so going to the hospital for an induced abortion is not very risky. Fortunately, our mother has found out about you now. If you continue to hide it and really postpone it for another month or so, you will suffer great physical harm. Don't worry, just leave this matter to your second sister. After all, I am a department director in the hospital, and I promise to take care of all the aftermath for you..."

"You damn child, your elder sister and the second sister are talking to you, at least you should say something, are you really going to piss off your mother to death?"

Zhong Xiuping burst into tears, "But the baby in my belly is innocent, how can you have the heart to kill her!"

Mother Zhong was like a firecracker that had exploded.

"What nonsense are you talking about! What nonsense are you saying, you stupid kid! We are responsible for you and the child in your belly. You are single, divorced and have a baby. Do you still want to have your own life in the future? Do you still want to rebuild a happy family? Your whole family is persuading you to take the right path and make the right choice. Can your mom, dad, brother and sister and us harm you..."

Mr. Zhong sighed, "Okay, stop making so much noise, we are all trying to persuade Pingping!"

Mother Zhong was furious. "You are the one who likes to be a pushover! I am the stepmother, and you all blame me for forcibly breaking up your daughter's good marriage in the countryside. I am the most vicious and snobbish mother-in-law in the world. I should have encouraged you, Minister Zhong, to use your private power to plan a good job for your country son-in-law, so that others would praise you, Minister Zhong, for being affectionate and willing to sacrifice for your children..."

Bang! ! !
"You are presumptuous!"

Mr. Zhong slammed the table hard.

The powerful recoil force knocked the tea cup on the table over, and the scalding hot tea spilled all over the table.

Seeing that her husband was really angry.

Mrs. Zhong knew that she had spoken too quickly and had behaved unethically, so she immediately shut up.

The eldest daughter quickly took a rag and went forward to clean up the tea.

The second daughter gently poked her third sister Zhong Xiuping, signaling her to express her opinion quickly and not to really piss off her father.

As for the two sons of the Zhong family, perhaps because they felt it was not easy to interrupt such a topic, they remained silent the entire time, and no one knew what they were thinking.

Father Zhong glared at his wife fiercely, thinking that the reason his little daughter was in all the trouble she was in today was all because you insisted on breaking up the couple and used the excuse of being from different social classes.

But now he also has a huge headache.

The reason why I acquiesced to my wife's behavior before.

That was also because he believed the lies that his younger daughter and her ex-husband had no emotional basis at all.

If there really is no emotional basis at all, how can this silly girl, now that she is pregnant with her ex-husband's child, use the excuse that it is God's will and insist on giving birth to the child?
There really is no emotional basis.

That country boy has been married to my little girl for three years, and they treat each other with respect and don't force the marriage to be consummated.

On the contrary, this silly girl, who had already made up her mind to abandon everything and return to the city, still wanted to...

Alas! ~~
"Pingping, tell me honestly, do you and your country husband have any real feelings for each other?"

"Now don't worry about your mother's attitude..."

"Dad just wants to confirm one thing with you. If you two really have a deep emotional foundation, then even if it means risking my reputation, I will get that child into the capital, and arrange a job for him, so that you and your wife can live your life in peace and stability in the capital."

"But you have to understand one thing..."

"If this arrangement is really made, you will have to accept your fate and live your ordinary life steadily. Don't have any more extravagant hopes. In the future, the family will not be able to provide you with any resources. Do you understand what Dad is saying?"

Zhong Xiuping's beautiful eyes were filled with tears, and she subconsciously said:

"Dad, I understand. You and Mom are just worried that we won't have a good life in the future, but the baby in my belly is really innocent..."

Mr. Zhong suddenly became annoyed again.

The girl is extroverted, and this little girl has to bend her elbows outward even if they are locked.

Girl, do you mean to force dad to risk his political career and help that country husband go down a path that he shouldn't have?
"Dad, Mom, Third Sister, don't worry, I have a compromise..."

At this time, the eldest brother, who had been silent all the time, spoke.
