"You little brat, I think you're looking for death!"
Yi Zhonghai became enraged, ready to pounce and beat Bang Geng.
Seeing this, Qin Huairu hurriedly stopped him, "Yi Zhonghai, are you crazy?"
"He's just a child! Are you, an adult, going to argue with a child like this?"
At this moment, Yi Zhonghai was furious and couldn't help but want to slap Qin Huairu hard across the face.
But at the same time, Yi Zhonghai also knew that the more this was the case, the more he had to remain restrained.
His hope of continuing the family line rested entirely on Qin Huairu's belly.
In fact, the situation Yi Zhonghai found himself in was quite dire!
On one hand, Yi Zhonghai had reached a point of no return in his efforts to continue the Yi family line.
From the moment he schemed to divorce Lin Xueling, there was no turning back.
Yi Zhonghai had lost his iron rice bowl at the Hongxing Rolling Mill, and Lin Xueling had been abandoned by him.
If he were to lose Qin Huairu at this point, what would he have left?
Qin Huairu was an out-and-out bloodsucker. From the time she became pregnant until now, all the food and expenses for the Jia family had come from Yi Zhonghai's savings.
Not only that, but Yi Zhonghai also regularly gave her 100 yuan a month for prenatal care.
Yi Zhonghai had schemed and struggled with all his might, all for the sake of leaving an "heir" for the Yi family.
Although Qin Huairu had repeatedly said that Bang Geng could support Yi Zhonghai in his old age, Bang Geng's surname was Jia, not Yi.
The child Qin Huairu bore for Yi Zhonghai, whether a boy or a girl, would at least have the surname Yi.
As long as the child's surname was Yi, even if it wasn't Yi Zhonghai's biological offspring, Yi Zhonghai could at least deceive himself and fulfill his wish.
One must remember that people's thinking in this era was still very conservative.
A core tenet of traditional thought was: "Of the three unfilial acts, having no heir is the greatest."
In any case, having no descendants was a reality Yi Zhonghai could not tolerate.
"Hmph!" Yi Zhonghai snorted and strode home.
After Yi Zhonghai left, Qin Huairu said with tears, "Bang Geng, can I beg you?"
"Apologize to your father, and let our family live well together!"
"I, Qin Huairu, swear to heaven that the death of Jia Dongxu back then was an accident!"
"If I'm lying to you, then let me be struck by lightning!"
Bang Geng replied coldly, "Qin Huairu, you still want to quibble now?"
"My grandma told me herself that you had an improper relationship with Yi Zhonghai long ago!"
"Now that you're married to Yi Zhonghai, do you think I'll still believe you?"
Qin Huairu cried, "Child, don't be fooled by Zhang Cuihua!"
"That old woman Zhang Cuihua is not a good person at all!"
"She..."
Before Qin Huairu could finish, Bang Geng interrupted, "At least my grandma told me the truth!"
"And you, you're a shameless liar!"
Qin Huairu strode forward, hugging Bang Geng, "Child, what do you want for you to believe me?"
Bang Geng replied coldly, "It's very simple. You go and divorce Yi Zhonghai immediately!"
"I'm already eight months pregnant. If we divorce Yi Zhonghai, how will our family live?"
Bang Geng stubbornly said, "Even if our family has to beg for a living, I will never recognize a wolf as my father!"
"And you, Qin Huairu, if you don't divorce Yi Zhonghai, our mother-son relationship will be completely severed!"
"From now on, you can count on Yi Zhonghai to support you. Even if you starve to death on the street, I won't care about you!"
"You..." Bang Geng's words had completely struck Qin Huairu's sore spot.
Qin Huairu had endured humiliation for so many years to raise Bang Geng.
One of the main purposes was to count on Bang Geng to support her in her old age.
In this era, the old mindset of valuing sons over daughters was still very serious.
Take Jia Zhangshi for example. She was a woman herself but constantly complained that Qin Huairu, Xiao Dang, and Xiao Huaihua were burdens.
In Jia Zhangshi's heart, only her grandson Bang Geng and herself had value.
Everyone else was superfluous.
Although Qin Huairu didn't dislike her two daughters, she still cared most about Bang Geng in her heart.
Naturally, Qin Huairu would never allow Yi Zhonghai to harm Bang Geng.
Unexpectedly, Bang Geng said such words today, and Qin Huairu felt her heart was completely broken.
Yi Zhonghai was more than ten years older than Qin Huairu. It was more reasonable for Qin Huairu to support Yi Zhonghai in his old age. Counting on him to support Qin Huairu was a joke of international proportions.
After much internal struggle, Qin Huairu compromised, "How about this, Bang Geng, you give me some time!"
"When the time is right in the future, I will divorce Yi Zhonghai immediately. What do you say?"
Bang Geng responded sternly, "And that bastard in your belly must be aborted too!"
"Bang Geng, listen to me, I..."
"I don't listen! I don't want to listen!"
Qin Huairu tried to explain with a thick skin, but Bang Geng pushed Qin Huairu's shoulder, trying to push her away!
"Bang Geng, don't push my belly, I'm pregnant!"
Qin Huairu was worried that Bang Geng's actions would be too rough and disturb her fetus, so she hurriedly protected her belly.
It was precisely this small movement of hers that made Bang Geng's eyes light up.
A poisonous scheme finally germinated in Bang Geng's heart!
Now that Qin Huairu and Yi Zhonghai were deeply in love, it was impossible for Qin Huairu to go to the hospital to have an abortion on her own.
Therefore, only one option remained: Bang Geng would directly "physically" help Qin Huairu get rid of the child.
Only in this way could Qin Huairu be forced to completely break free from Yi Zhonghai's influence and walk the "right path."
Thinking of this, a sharp ruthlessness flashed in Bang Geng's eyes.
Then, Bang Geng quickly ran to the door, picked up the shovel leaning against the door.
She directly swung the shovel towards Qin Huairu's belly.
"Ah!" Qin Huairu was scared stiff, "Bang Geng, are you crazy? Put down the shovel, I..."
Before Qin Huairu could finish, the shovel Bang Geng swung hit her belly fiercely.
Qin Huairu, in her panic, desperately used her hands to protect her belly.
"Bang!" A muffled sound was heard, and Bang Geng hit Qin Huairu's hand with the shovel.
With one blow, Qin Huairu's hands were covered in blood.
At this moment, Qin Huairu realized the seriousness of the situation.
She directly roared at the top of her lungs, "Bang Geng, you're truly insane!"
"Put down the shovel quickly, or I'll hit you!"
Bang Geng roared sternly, "Qin Huairu, you damn thing, you've disgraced our entire Jia family!"
