Back to that night, she flirted with the cold-faced rough man

Chapter 43

The Criminal Law stipulates that pregnant women cannot be detained or imprisoned, and must be served outside prison. Even if the baby is aborted, the period of confinement after childbirth is treated as a pregnant woman.

This was after a number of laws were enacted and promulgated in 1979, when the legal system was sound. It was still 1977, and Huang Xia's pregnancy was equivalent to carrying a golden medal of immunity from death.

What's more, Huang Xia was only Chen Gouzi's accomplice. She was not the one who actually committed the crime, and she was not necessarily the mastermind.

Chen Gouzi’s sentencing is a foregone conclusion, but Huang Xia is in a difficult situation.

Bai Ying had already made up her mind and didn't feel sorry. She glanced at Huang Xia and said calmly, "Since sister-in-law is pregnant, you should stay at home and take good care of the baby. Don't run around like a monkey on the mountain all day. It's really embarrassing."

Huang Xia pinched the corner of her clothes with both hands, her face flushed with humiliation, "Bai Ying! I am your sister-in-law, and I am your elder no matter how high or low. How can you, a little sister-in-law, lecture me?"

Bai Ying sneered and looked Huang Xia up and down, her disdain evident in her eyes. "If you want to be someone else's elder, then you have to act like one, right?"

"Ha, cough, cough..."

Zhao Dayong, who was standing by, wanted to laugh but realized the situation was not right, so he quickly switched to coughing. When Bai Ying looked at him, he said awkwardly, "Since you don't need me, I'll leave first."

After all, it is the leader's wife's family affair, and it is inappropriate for him to keep interfering.

Bai Ying nodded and followed him, her expression still calm and composed, not even a hint of discouragement. "Platoon Leader Zhao, I'm really sorry to bother you today."

This made Zhao Dayong look at Bai Ying with a new respect.

He is so cunning at such a young age, as unfathomable as his leader.

He silently shed a tear of sympathy for his leader in his heart, and let the leader himself explain why he had concealed his identity from his wife. He couldn't afford to offend either of these two great people.

In the courtyard.

Chu Xianglan stared absentmindedly at Huang Xia's belly, which had not yet bulged.

The second and third children are not married yet, and Gou Nuo is the only child in the family. It is obviously impossible for her not to want this child.

But...Huang Xia's personality.

Chu Xianglan felt quite troubled and regretted deeply that she did not oppose Huang Xia's marriage to Lao Da because she was afraid of contradicting Old Mrs. Bai. As a result, after she married him in, the family was in turmoil.

As for the option of asking Huang Xia to divorce the boss, Chu Xianglan had never considered it.

Farmers had no concept of divorce. What family wasn't always noisy? If they really couldn't get along and divorced, it would be so embarrassing. The whole brigade could drown their family in spit!

What's more, Huang Xia is still pregnant. How can you force a pregnant woman to divorce?

If this gets out, will the boss's reputation be ruined? Even if he really divorces Huang Xia, no woman in the surrounding area will dare to marry him in the future.

"Old man, you!"

Chu Xianglan's thoughts turned over and over again, and finally she sighed deeply, "From now on, you and the eldest brother should live a good life, and don't look for trouble. If something like this happens again, you and the eldest brother will separate from the family, and we will pretend that we don't have you as our son and daughter-in-law!"

In general rural families, the mother-in-law cares most about her daughter-in-law's belly, but Chu Xianglan is different.

Faced with the choice between her daughter whom she had loved and raised, and her grandson whom she didn't know whether she would be able to give birth to, Chu Xianglan decisively chose the former!

"Mom! A daughter who's married off is like spilled water," Huang Xia stamped her feet in anger. "I'm your eldest daughter-in-law, and you're giving up your eldest son and daughter-in-law for a girl who's about to get married. What are you thinking?"

Chu Xianglan frowned and corrected him unhappily, "Even if Yingzi is married, this place will always be her home. But if you, from the eldest family, continue to stir up trouble, this place will no longer be your home. You might as well go out and live alone with the eldest brother."
