Liu Gang loves children but loves his future even more. Originally, he thought he could use this large-scale military exercise to get a promotion, or at the very least, transfer to a better unit. But because of Ai Mei, everything was ruined! How could he not hate her!
This time, he ignored Ai Mei completely, wishing she was dead.
Ai Mei was filled with anger; she wasn’t afraid at all! After all, someone above was backing her. You won’t benefit from this! Let you busy yourself for nothing, hmph! Her mood was getting worse, and her stomach started feeling uncomfortable.
It was time to depart; everyone was saying their goodbyes to their wives and children, getting on the bus and leaving.
Just then, Ai Mei suddenly screamed, "Aah! My stomach!"
Upon hearing the scream, many women nearby took several steps back, fearing they might get involved. This woman was like a troublemaker; if you helped her, you wouldn’t get any benefit and might even get scolded, perhaps even resented. What’s the point of that?
Liu Gang was already on the bus and frowned upon hearing his wife’s scream, staying silent. What was she up to now?
Someone said, "Liu Gang, something’s not right with your wife!"
"Don’t worry about her; she’s always like that. Let’s set off and not let my family’s issues affect the troops’ important matters."
The leader signaled to start the bus, but then another scream came. Ai Mei shouted, "Liu Gang, you bastard! Aren’t you going to care about your child? My stomach hurts so much!"
Another woman said, "Blood, there’s blood!"
She was wearing gray pants, now with a red stain visible. She was so scared she collapsed to the ground.
Everyone rushed over, knowing they couldn’t just ignore this. No matter what, she was a military spouse, and they couldn’t let her have a miscarriage on the ground like this.
Sun Chan and Zheng Lijuan were pregnant, moving slowly, and others wouldn’t let them pass either. They were quickly pushed aside.
An older military spouse said, "You better stay away. Didn’t they say royalty avoids royalty? You’re all pregnant, and if something happens, they’ll surely blame you. Countryside folks have many superstitions; better keep away."
Initially, Ai Mei hadn’t thought that way, but after hearing the woman’s words, she started thinking like that too and immediately got furious.
"Now I know why I haven’t been feeling well day and night. It’s your fault! Why are you hurting my child? I’ll never let you off!" She even began rolling on the ground, screaming incessantly.
Everyone tried to console her, "Don’t think too much. It’s all just feudal superstition."
Sun Chan and Zheng Lijuan weren’t inclined to interfere, and after hearing Ai Mei’s words, they felt even less obligated. They offered some words of comfort before leaving, but it had no effect and merely earned them harsh glares.
She said, "Hurry up and go! Your children are hurting mine. If anything happens to my child, I’ll never forgive you!"
Zheng Lijuan was infuriated, "So, just because we live in the same compound, you can have children, and we can’t?"
"How dare you talk back? If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t be this unlucky and troubled; it’s all your doing!"
Zheng Lijuan wanted to argue, but Sun Chan stopped her. What’s the point of getting angry at such an unreasonable person?
They waved goodbye to their husbands on the bus and walked hand in hand, neither one disturbing the other.
