39 -39: Got Pregnant
Throughout the meal, everyone was unhappy.
After eating, An Hao returned to her room and immediately buried herself in reviewing lessons once the door was closed.
The high school exam was in July, and she had to get into college.
It was clear that knowledge could indeed change one’s destiny.
She had regrets in her past life, and in this life, she absolutely couldn’t let herself experience regret again.
In the western room of the northern house, Bai Yanjiao was sitting with Granny, both of them keeping her company on the bed.
“Xuemei, your life this year has been much better than last year,” Granny said slowly.
“This time we came, we planned to stay a few more days before leaving!”
“Mom!
It’s almost New Year’s, why did you bring Jianshe’s family here again?” Bai Xuemei was also worried.
Bai Jianshe was a deadbeat, a lazy man who didn’t work.
That would have been enough, but he had plenty of bad habits, like smoking, drinking, and even gambling.
Last year, he hid out here with his family during the New Year to avoid his debts.
This year, they came again.
“Has he gotten himself into trouble again?” Although Granny had not said anything since she arrived, Xuemei could guess it was definitely something along those lines.
“Ah, what a sin!” Just as Granny was about to speak, she saw her granddaughter blinking and listening intently, so she waved her hand at her, “Yanjiao, go to the northern room and call your uncle and aunt here.
You go play with Fengzi and An Ping for a while.”
Bai Yanjiao was just as uninterested in listening to the family’s troubled affairs and quickly left the room after getting off the kang bed.
Before long, Bai Jianshe and Niu Cuihua came over.
“Mom, you called for us!” Niu Cuihua, feeling at home, took off her shoes and climbed onto the kang bed, her smelly feet making Bai Xuemei frown in disgust.
Bai Jianshe squatted down on the ground, took out some paper, and started rolling a cigarette to smoke.
“Jianshe, you tell your sister about your problems yourself!
I’m too ashamed to say it,” Granny told him.
Since Granny had spoken, Bai Jianshe lit his cigarette, took a drag, and started to explain, “Sister, I got a girl pregnant.
Now, her family knows about it, and they’re blocking me every day at our village entrance demanding money.
Where would I get the money?
They say if I don’t pay, they’ll report me for lewd behavior, and I might have to go to jail.
So I had to come here to spend the New Year, didn’t I?”
Upon hearing this, Bai Xuemei’s head began to ache.
She jumped off the kang bed and started hitting Jianshe on the head, “You useless thing, you’ve stopped gambling only to go and ruin a young girl!
Isn’t your wife at home enough for you?
If you’re not satisfied, why not look for a married woman or a widow or something?

Why did you have to bother that young girl!”
“Stop hitting!
Sister, stop hitting me!” Bai Jianguo covered his head, trying to dodge everywhere.
“Sister, stop hitting him.
What’s done is done, how else can we deal with it?
I’ve put up with him for so many years and I’m not even angry anymore, why are you getting angry?” Niu Cuihua sat on the kang bed, hands in her sleeves, trying to calm Bai Xuemei down.
“How can you be so carefree?
Your man is messing around outside, and you can just sit there without getting angry!” Bai Xuemei was so angry her chest hurt; her brother was a good-for-nothing, and his wife was something else entirely.
“What can I do?
He’s my man, he’s my sky!”
“Fine then, hitting him would be useful if he’d learn from it, but I’ve already done that!
The situation is what it is now; either we give them money or we keep hiding!” Granny’s heart was also big, directly leaving her son’s mess for her daughter to solve.
It sounded like if Bai Xuemei had the money, she should give it, but if she didn’t, they would have no choice but to stay here.
Although they were her family, Bai Xuemei couldn’t wait for them to leave as soon as possible.
