Chapter 26: Chapter 026 You Hit Someone and Dare to Run
——————
Lin Aihong's panic did not attract any sympathy or attention; instead, the crowd mostly focused on the pregnant woman who had collapsed to the ground—
"Sss, ah~~ it hurts so much~ wuwu!"
The pregnant woman was scared into a spasm by Lin Aihong's actions, currently suffering convulsions of pain. Just as her body weakened and she was about to fall, Xie Jingchen timely supported her, preventing a second injury.
At the same time, she let out low moans of unbearable pain. In just a minute, her face and head were already covered with beads of sweat. Enduring the pain, she cradled her large belly with both hands, tragically and carefully, and begged in a low whimper:
"Please, please take me to the hospital quickly~~"
At this moment, Lin Aihong suddenly realized that if it hadn't been for the rustic villager who stood in front of this pregnant woman and caused Lin to fall by throwing a basket, her bicycle would have directly hit the woman's pregnant belly. And this pregnant woman's voice sounded familiar; upon closer inspection, Lin's heart sank with horror—
It turns out, this pregnant woman who she almost hit is her neighbor's daughter-in-law, reputedly from a family where the lineage has been transmitted through just one son per generation for three generations. This big sister had conceived only after much difficulty; her whole family treasured her immensely!
"Hurry, someone call for an oxcart. Does anyone know this pregnant woman?"
Zhang Shanni no longer cared about that senseless woman, she quickly walked over to the pregnant woman, pushed aside her newly-appointed husband, and gently supported her to slowly lean against herself and lie down. Having instructed Xie Jingchen, she then firmly spoke to the pregnant woman cradled in her arms:
"Brother Chen, go find an oxcart quickly; she looks like she's about to deliver prematurely! Big sister, try to lie down, don't panic, take deep breaths, yes, calm and steady breaths, slowly inhale~~ yes, just like that. Big sister, don't panic, even if you give birth a few days early, it'll be alright!"
The surrounding crowd, seeing how efficiently Zhang Shanni handled the situation, praised her bravery quietly, some who lived nearby upon recognizing the pregnant woman started murmuring softly:
"Oh my, it's her, I know her, she's the wife of Li Jianfeng from the former cadre's courtyard, it's been nine months, hasn't it!"
"Yes, now that you mention it, I remember, she indeed lives in our compound, it's Comrade Chen Xiufang!"
"Stop, you hit someone and you dare to run!" The people who were anxiously watching the pregnant woman immediately formed a circle to prevent the assaulting woman from escaping when they noticed she was trying to flee.
"Which of your eyes saw me hitting her?"

Lin Aihong retorted frantically, her parents were only minor officials, she wouldn't dare to confront such powerful and influential neighbors in the same compound; today her recklessness almost caused an accident, and seeing the fresh blood from the pregnant woman's lower body only intensified her panic as a young unmarried woman, mainly because she knew the pregnant woman's significant identity, which terrified her even more, prompting her to think of escaping unnoticed, unaware that she would be discovered!
These meddling rustic villagers!
Collapsed on the ground, Chen Xiufang saw the woman who caused the trouble through the crowd, a fleeting shock on her face quickly replaced by anger, while Zhang Shanni anxiously comforted her: "Sister, don't panic, don't get upset, please don't get angry, the ox cart will be here soon, take a deep breath~~"
As the pregnant woman calmed down, Zhang Shanni looked up at the increasingly encroaching crowd and shouted, "Comrades, I know you are anxious to help, but you are crowding too close, the pregnant woman might feel suffocated, please step back a bit, give her some fresh air, please!"
At that moment, Xie Jingchen managed to bring an ox cart to the outer circle. Hearing the skillful words of his newly appointed wife, he felt satisfied and proud, and shouted loudly:
"Make way, make way, the ox cart is coming, please clear the way quickly! Cooperate, please, people on the outside, step back to avoid a stampede!~~"
Hearing his words, the crowd on the outside voluntarily made way, with some people spontaneously maintaining order. Being at a T-junction, the crowd kept growing. Word of mouth spread to clear a path. A few strong aunties stepped forward to help Zhang Shanni take care of the pregnant woman, while even more women voluntarily formed a circle, shielding her from the gazes of men.
Even Lin Aihong was encircled by people, afraid that she might escape! It showed how warm-hearted and kind-hearted people were in that era!
As Xie Jingchen drove the ox cart into the center of the circle, a resonant baritone voice came from outside:
"Xiufang, Xiufang, how are you? Make way, that is my wife inside, please make room~~"
Brought by the message passed to him, Li Jianfeng had rushed over. They had agreed to meet in front of his sales agency to go for a prenatal checkup together. It was not their first time, and the journey wasn't too far since they were in the same district, so he let his wife take her time.
But time passed and he still hadn't seen his wife; instead, he got the news brought by the children from the same courtyard. It truly frightened him to the point his heart almost stopped!
His mind clouded, he rushed over headlessly, seeing a large crowd blocking the way, he pushed through the people in front, trembling and shouting loudly. Originally annoyed by his actions, the passing crowd heard his words and automatically cleared a path.
Li Jianfeng advanced a few steps and saw his wife lying on the roadside, bloodstained beneath her like a broken doll, making it difficult for him to breathe! Seeing the big sisters and comrades voluntarily surrounding them, he felt grateful, but he was completely not in the mood to thank them at the moment.
Right now, all he could see and feel was his painful, semi-conscious wife. He nervously took off his coat to cover her body and shakily called out, "Xiufang, how are you? Hang in there... we're going to the hospital right away!"
Chen Xiufang drifted into semi-consciousness, dazed. If not for Zhang Shanni constantly encouraging her, she would probably have fainted from the pain already. However, maternal strength is formidable; thinking of the fetus in her womb, every time she was about to pass out, she bit her tongue harshly, not daring to let herself truly lose consciousness.
Thus, the pain prevented her from speaking at all; her pale, colorless face was covered in sweat, and her tightly tied hair was soaked through.
Just then, Xie Jingchen with an elderly gentleman driving the ox cart burst into the inner circle. First, he glanced at his wife, then said to Li Jianfeng, "Comrade, the ox cart has arrived, we are going to take this sister to the hospital immediately."
"Good, good, thank you all~ you are all good people!" Li Jianye knelt beside his wife, thanking the crowd maintaining order.
A big man, kneeling and emotionally shedding tears, speaking words full of gratitude, indeed left a good impression on the crowd. For a moment, they felt compassion for the pregnant woman lying on the ground—it was all her fault!
The crowd's gaze subtly glanced at Lin Aihong.
