I stared at Xie Zongming, he seemed to be shocked by my gaze.

"I told you before we were married that I couldn't have children. What do you mean by that?" I asked again.

After Xie Zongming heard my words, he was so embarrassed that he didn't even know where he put his hands. He stuttered and said, "That time was different from when we were now. We were both old.

"Did you have a baby so someone could take care of you?" I asked him.

Xie Zongming seemed to be worried by my retort, he shook his hand and said, "If you don't want to live, then don't."

I looked at his back and thought how disgusting he was.

Actually, it's not like I can't give birth. Even if I'm sick, it can be avoided by medical means. It's just that I'll have to work harder than other pregnant women and I just don't want to give birth to him.

A woman was pregnant for ten months and endured all kinds of pain. When she gave birth, she even stepped into the gates of hell with one foot in front of her.

I had already seen that my husband and mother-in-law were only concerned with the child in my womb and didn't care about me at all.

I don't want my children to be born in a family like this.

Xie Zongming lied on the bed in his bedroom.

I knew he was pretending to be asleep.

I pulled back the covers and went into bed, not bothering to say anything more.

Unfortunately, in the middle of the night, Xie Zongming's phone suddenly rang.

"Who is it?" I asked him, and I noticed that he didn't answer but hung up.

Xie Zongming was still angry at the argument during the day, so he ignored me.

I was too lazy to ask, but after a while, my phone rang again. Xie Zongming hung up again, but this time he waited for too long, I knew he was unwilling to hang up.

"If you want it, then pick it up." "No," I said.

After I finished speaking, it was only after a long while that Xie Zongming finally said, "I don't want to accept."

"Alright." I nodded.

He hung up.

Sure enough, not even five minutes had passed before the phone rang again. Unable to bear it any longer, I got up from the bed and grabbed Xie Zongming's phone, shutting it down immediately.

"Here you go." I threw the phone back to Xie Zongming.

Xie Zongming looked at me. His eyes were a little sinister, and I suddenly felt very cold.

"Go to sleep." I covered my face with the quilt.

Early the next morning, the security door was knocked.

I opened my eyes and looked out the window. The sky outside was still a pale purple. It was extremely quiet.

I put on my coat and ran to open the door. I had a bad feeling.

"Who is it?" I said, standing in the doorway and looking into the peephole.

At the door stood a forty year old Middle-aged woman. She was slightly fat and wore a garish flowery blouse, with a pair of tight black pants and plastic shoes.

Her short hair was done up in small rolls, her lips were painted with lipstick, her eyeliner and eyebrows were tattooed, and her mouth was tightly pressed.

"Who are you looking for?" I asked again.

But she ignored me, knocking on the door.

"If you don't speak now, I'll call the police." I shouted.

The woman outside the door stopped moving, then her mouth twitched, her face changed into a different expression as if she had changed her expression. She howled, then threw herself onto the door.

Her voice was harsh on the quiet morning.

"My poor daughter, she got pregnant from being tricked by a stinking man. Now, not only is she missing her child, but she's also lying on a sickbed. The heavens don't open their eyes." The woman fell to the ground, screaming as she pounded on the door.

I curled my lips and rolled my eyes. It really was Teng Wan.

Was this Teng Wan's mother? Sure enough, they were both a pair of unreasonable slut. A mistress who was someone else's husband still had the face to come and make trouble at home.

While I was thinking about this, Xie Zongming had already came out of the bedroom with his eyebrows knitted together. He rubbed his head and looked extremely innocent.

"Well, solve your own problems." After I said that, I sat back down on the sofa and signaled Xie Zongming to open the door.

Xie Zongming glanced at me, then heard the wails outside the door, his expression instantly becoming extremely unsightly, and at this moment, Teng Wan's mother's wails had finally alarmed the neighbors, who were asking her what had happened with concern.

I looked at Xie Zongming, who hesitated before opening the door.

I saw Teng Wan's mother sitting on the ground, slapping her thighs and crying. There was a group of people surrounding her, and the moment the door opened, they looked at Xie Zongming with disdain.

Xie Zongming was a person with a good face, and his originally slightly green face became pale again.

"Who are you? "They actually made a ruckus in front of my house!" Xie Zongming said, "Scram, if not I will call the police."

Teng Wan's mother sat on the ground and raised her head to look at Xie Zongming.

However, she did not stand up to fight with Xie Zongming. Instead, she knelt beside Xie Zongming's feet, hugged his thighs and cried, "I beg of you, please save my daughter's life. She's only twenty years old, and stays at home all day without eating or drinking.

When Xie Zongming heard her words, he probably remembered Teng Wan's pitiful appearance. When he thought about how a young girl actually liked him to such an extent, and even risked her life to see him, his disgust towards Teng Wan lessened greatly. I discovered that his expression had also become more subtle.

I looked at him and thought, maybe Xie Zongming is just thinking, it's not his fault, if you have to blame it's because he's too charming.

The people who were standing in the doorway now had a sympathetic look on their faces.

Xie Zongming wanted to help Teng Wan's mother up, but he said, "Get up, don't beg me like that."

Teng Wan's mother cried. "I won't get up, unless you are willing to see my daughter, Ah Wan is my precious baby, I am afraid of losing her in my palms, afraid of dying in my mouth. If anything were to happen to her, I wouldn't be able to live."

"You can go see her." Amongst the crowd, no one knew which man said that as they shared the same feelings as Xie Zongming.

Originally, I was sitting on the sofa with my arms crossed while watching the show, but when I heard those words, my face immediately darkened.

I'd like to see what else they have to say.

"This auntie is too pitiful." A girl in her early twenties also said. Perhaps it was the man who interrupted her just now that gave her the courage to speak. "She also did it for love."

I curled my lips. It really didn't hurt to stand and talk.

She shouted at Xie Zongming with an even louder voice, "Ah Dian really likes you. She is willing to be a kitten or dog by your side, and she promises to leave the place the moment she sees you. She guarantees that she won't disturb your life again."

Hearing her words, Xie Zongming seemed to be unable to bear it any longer and turned his head to look at me.

The people who were standing by the door were also looking at me, but their eyes weren't kind.

Yeah, people are always willing to side with the weak.

Yes, it was reasonable that she was weaker than her.

"Sister-in-law, let him take a look." A man's voice in the crowd said, "It's only one time, the girl is dying."

"As a man, it's hard to avoid putting on an act when working outside. In fact, you're the only one in his heart, yet you don't even need to work. You just have to live happily at home all day." A very experienced aunt said that her husband must have done a lot of acting outside.

"Anyway, he's your husband." Another woman said, "As long as he has a baby, he'll never look for a woman again."

I sat on the couch, folded my arms, and looked at them coldly.

In this triangular relationship, the seemingly strong me became someone who needed to be patient.

I thought that if they knew I was cheating, the words of comfort in their mouths would change into something else.

"Please." Teng Wan's mother seemed to have guessed that I was the one who had made the decision. She crawled over and hugged my leg.

She hugged my legs, her snot and tears smearing on my pants, her face raw, her mouth wide open and bawling, a nuisance.

When Xie Zongming saw my frown, he came forward and tried to pull Teng Wan's mother away. He knew that I always liked to be clean.

"Please, be kind." Teng Wan's mother held onto me tightly as she shouted, "You're also a woman, how can you be so heartless?"

Hearing her words, I suddenly felt a wave of anger from the bottom of my heart. I grabbed onto Teng Wan's mother's sturdy arm and said, "You also know that I'm a woman, and you also know that women should not be so heartless. Why didn't you say that when your daughter tried to rob my husband? How come you don't care about your daughter when she's sleeping with my husband? "

Teng Wan's mother obviously did not expect me to say that. She was stunned, not knowing what to say next, she could only kneel on the ground and cry.

I waved my hand and picked up Xie Zongming's cigarette and lighter from the tea table. I took out a cigarette and held it between my fingers, lit it up and took a puff.

I let out a long breath, tilted my head, and said, "Forget it, Xie Zongming."

Xie Zongming was stunned. He did not know that I am good at drinking and smoke.

"Go." I spoke as if I were sighing. "You go on, as long as you don't bother me again.

I went back to the bedroom with the cigarette between my fingers.

I sat in my bedroom. It was a sunny day outside my window, so it should be very warm, but I felt a chill coming from the bottom of my heart.

"Knock knock." There was a knock at the door, and I heard the careful knocking.

I sat at the head of the bed, smoking, my nightgown falling from my lap.

"Crunch." The door opened, and Xie Zongming poked his head in.

I glanced at him, and he winced, and finally came up to me.

He had always had a lot of face, but now that Teng Wan's mother had come back to their house like this, and everyone present knew that he had cheated, he must be feeling troubled. When he thought about Teng Wan, that beauty, who was leaning weakly on the bed, thinking about him, the anger he had towards her disappeared.
