Liu Kai Xuan spoke with solemnity, "After taking this, it can enhance your physical fitness!"
"I'm going to work at the factory. If anyone bullies you at home, don't hesitate to fight back!"
"Ah... with just this little thing, it's that powerful?"
"Just eat it if I tell you to, otherwise I won't be at ease!"
"Okay, husband, I'll eat it, alright!"
"Whether it's useful or not, it's still a token of my husband's affection!"
As she spoke, Zhao Fei Yan opened her mouth and swallowed the pill in one gulp.
"It tastes sweet and sour, is it a sugar pill?"
Her words sent a jolt through Liu Kai Xuan.
To mistake a cultivation pill for a sugar pill, how could she be so unique?
Meanwhile, Qin Huai Ru, covering her swollen face, returned home and immediately began to complain.
"Yi Zhong Hai, are you even a man? I'm pregnant, and Liu Kai Xuan slapped me!"
"Are your eyes blind, or what?"
"I..." Yi Zhong Hai replied with a dejected face, "What could I possibly do?"
"I told you a long time ago that Liu Kai Xuan is not someone to be trifled with!"
"You insisted on provoking that jinx. The matter with Bang Geng wasn't that big of a deal!"
"That kid just deserves a beating. If I give him a good thrashing, he'll behave himself!"
Qin Huai Ru retorted sharply, "Yi Zhong Hai, I'm warning you!"
"If you dare to beat Bang Geng again, I'll divorce you!"
"You promised me that you would take good care of me and my children, which is why I agreed to marry you and help you carry on the family line!"
"It's only been less than a year since we got married, and you're already beating Bang Geng. How am I supposed to live with you in the future?"
At this point, Yi Zhong Hai was already thinking of throwing caution to the wind.
As soon as Qin Huai Ru gave birth, this fellow would completely change his tune.
Yi Zhong Hai's rough treatment of Bang Geng now was merely a precursor to his impending change of heart.
However, Qin Huai Ru had not yet successfully given birth.
If Yi Zhong Hai were to fall out with Qin Huai Ru now, and she were to have an abortion, Yi Zhong Hai would have gained nothing.
Therefore, Yi Zhong Hai had to find a way to maintain their relationship.
With this in mind, Yi Zhong Hai immediately put on a smile.
He said kindly, "Xiao Ru, why are you getting so impulsive again!"
"I really didn't mean to treat Bang Geng roughly. It's just that Bang Geng's attitude towards you was too much!"
"You must understand, I did all of that for you!"
"Of course, if you think my good intentions were unnecessary, then I won't interfere with the conflicts between you and Bang Geng anymore!"
"And I will definitely treat Bang Geng like my own biological son!"
Qin Huai Ru nodded, "Yi Zhong Hai, remember what you said to me today!"
"In the future, treat Bang Geng like your own son!"
"Don't think that just because I give you a son, you can relax!"
"Raising a child is not as simple as you think!"
"Even if this child is born, I will be the one raising him!"
"If you think you can work and raise the child at the same time, you are sorely mistaken!"
"But I..." Yi Zhong Hai's emotions were clearly becoming extremely anxious.
What Qin Huai Ru had just said, while containing a threat, was also the reality of their situation.
Suppose in two months, Qin Huai Ru successfully gave Yi Zhong Hai a son.
Would Yi Zhong Hai then be able to kick Qin Huai Ru to the curb?
After kicking Qin Huai Ru out, would he hire a nanny with his own money to raise the child?
A child is a living person, not a blade of grass or a potted plant that you can just water when you get home from work.
Someone had to be at home to look after the child all day, not a single moment could be missed.
Although Yi Zhong Hai lost his job at the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill, relying on his technical skills, he could still find odd jobs at other factories to earn money.
To make a living, he had to go out and work.
Otherwise, if the whole family stayed at home and ate up his savings, how long would Yi Zhong Hai's meager savings last?
"Indeed!"
Finally, Yi Zhong Hai said shamelessly, "Xiao Ru, you are right!"
"You are my wife, and our future child should naturally be raised by both of us!"
"You can stay at home and take care of the child. I'll work my fingers to the bone to earn enough money to give you a stable and good life!"
...
The next morning, Qin Huai Ru brought Yi Zhong Hai to the Jia family's residence to apologize to Bang Geng.
Yi Zhong Hai forced a smile and said, "Bang Geng, my attitude was indeed too rough before!"
"I apologize to you here. We are all family, so please hurry back with us!"
"Is that so?"
Bang Geng replied with a cold smile, "Yi Zhong Hai, do you truly know you were wrong, or are you lying to me?"
"I..." Bang Geng calling Yi Zhong Hai by his name again stirred a inexplicable frenzy in Yi Zhong Hai's heart.
At this moment, Qin Huai Ru quickly intervened, "Old Yi, don't be impulsive. Educating a child requires patience!"
"Bang Geng is already this old, he's sensible now!"
"As long as we patiently guide him, there's no obstacle we can't overcome!"
Under Qin Huai Ru's stern urging, Yi Zhong Hai could only brace himself and continue to be accommodating.
"Bang Geng, I genuinely came to apologize to you!"
"I admit that it was my mistake to accidentally hit you a few days ago!"
"I have now deeply realized my mistakes and need to self-reflect!"
"I also hope you can give me a chance to amend my ways!"
Bang Geng replied indifferently, "Yi Zhong Hai, you say you are sincerely apologizing!"
"Why don't I feel any sincerity from you?"
"Why do I feel like you're just trying to fool a child?"
At this point, Yi Zhong Hai's composure was starting to crack.
If it weren't for Qin Huai Ru being there to mediate, Yi Zhong Hai would have pounced forward and slapped Bang Geng.
"Fine, then what do you want me to do for you to forgive me?" Yi Zhong Hai asked shamelessly.
Bang Geng then intensified his tone, "For me to forgive you, you'd have to surrender yourself to the police station and pay for my father's life!"
"You..." Yi Zhong Hai's old face instantly contorted into extreme ferocity.
At this moment, Qin Huai Ru also spoke, "Bang Geng, why are you talking nonsense again?"
"I've told you before, your father's death had nothing to do with Yi Zhong Hai. It was an accident!"
"Alright!" Bang Geng nodded and smiled, "Then I'll change my condition to something simpler. Let Yi Zhong Hai kneel on the ground and kowtow to me!"
