Chapter 78: Carrying a Pregnancy

Once again, it was a full five days and four nights. Zou Hu barely left his house and kept his door tightly shut. As a young master born with a silver spoon in his mouth, he had never experienced such a blow before.
It's just a step away from the truth, but it's difficult to cross. He took the risk and drank a lot of lake water, even experiencing symptoms similar to those of patients, yet still couldn't develop the antidote.
Four members of the second team stood outside the door, with a touch of sunset glow shining through the window and falling on the side of Zou Hu's face. They wanted to call him out for dinner, but no one dared to take that step.
"I've known Zou Hu for so long, and it's the first time I've seen him so serious about something," said Wan Yan Ruojin, her tone of voice relaxing considerably. She used to always have negative opinions about Zou Hu."
"We have to believe in Ahu." There was hope in Tiana's eyes.
"Alright, let's go eat first." At the same time that Yuchi turned around, he saw a woman rushing towards them.
She clutched her waist and shouted, "Where is Zou Hu!?"
Hearing this, the other three also turned around.
"Madam, what can I help you with? Are you feeling unwell?" Shao Yu asked calmly about the situation.
"I'm doing fine! But my daughter is not doing well!"
This woman is very fierce, she points her fingers while speaking.
Tian Zhi Nuo knows who she is, she is Ah Lü's mother.
"Aunty, you're saying Ah Lu feels uncomfortable?" Tian Zhi Nu asked warmly.
"Yes!" the woman responded loudly.
"Don't worry, I'll go fetch the medicine for you right away," Tian Zhi Nu was about to turn and get it, but she grabbed his arm.
"Don't fuss around! The discomfort is not caused by poisoning! It's caused by morning sickness!"
"Morning sickness?!" Those four people were stunned by those two words.
"What?!" Wei Chi Cheng looked at the plump woman in shock. "But... she hasn't even gotten married yet?"
"It's precisely because he hasn't married that I came to find that bastard! Pull up his pants and pretend not to know people, huh? Now he has made my daughter pregnant, let's see how he can hide!" The woman pointed at the room where Zou Hu was and verbally abused him loudly.
The four people standing in front of her looked confused. What did this crazy woman mean?
"Move aside! I need to go in and find him!" The woman hurriedly walked towards the house.
Shao Yu quickly reached out his sword hilt to stop her way, "Is there any misunderstanding?"
"Bah! Misunderstanding my ass! If it wasn't for me forcing that darn girl, she wouldn't have been willing to say it! Just about eight or nine days ago, he came to our house in the middle of the night while I and her dad weren't home and he...he slept with my daughter! And now my daughter is pregnant! He must take responsibility!!"
妇女说话时吐沫四溅，激动不已，甚至已经到了语无伦次的地步。
“你说是阿斛干的？！”尉迟诚迈步上前，皱着眉头说道：“绝不可能！他每天光研制解药都忙不过来，哪有空搭理你家闺女啊？！你就是血口喷人！先前你家闺女三番五次的跑过来打扰阿斛，没准儿是她和别人的种儿，现在想把屎盆子扣在我家阿斛身上！”
Weichi Cheng absolutely cannot tolerate a woman defaming his comrade.
"I am not happy to hear your words! Are there no more men in Wangzhou?! Is my girl crazy or stupid? Accusing a good person randomly? Or do you think that all Wangzhou people are shameless hooligans?!"
This old woman has become even more irritable.
You can never argue with a middle-aged woman, they are simply unreasonable.
Yuchi Cheng rolled up his sleeves, wanting to reason with her.
Tian Zhinuo saw that a crowd had gathered outside the clinic, everyone came to watch the commotion after hearing the argument.
Tian Zhi Nuo is afraid of things getting out of hand, so he quickly stepped forward to console the auntie. "Auntie, I understand your feelings, but we cannot come to a conclusion based solely on Ah Lu's words. Can we go inside and have a good chat? After all, it's easy for others to make fun of us outside."
This is the first time Tian Zhinuo, a young girl who has not yet come out of the cabinet, has encountered such a thing, and she doesn't know what tone and words to use to comfort this woman.
Hey, what do you mean, little girl? So you're saying my daughter was defiled and you're not even acknowledging it? She's just a young girl, her reputation has been tarnished! And she's in the mood to frame someone else?! You're also a young girl, if someone got you pregnant, would you casually accuse someone else? Do you not know who you slept with that night?
This comment hit the heart of Tian Zhinuo directly, leaving her speechless.
Wan Yanruojin took a step forward, grabbed the woman's wrist, and scolded, "Hey lady! Watch your words!"
"Hey! They hit someone! Unbelievable! Everyone, come and see! They gang up to bully my daughter, who is only sixteen! She got pregnant before getting married!"
A woman sat on the ground without any shame, crying and shouting.
People outside the door, who were just watching the commotion, inexplicably blamed the few outsiders in the courtyard.
"Maybe...you two are also involved! Oh my, whose child is in my daughter's belly!! This is a disaster!" The woman suddenly pointed at Shao Yu and Wei Chi Cheng and said.
This is obviously made up, spouting nonsense.
If she weren't a woman, Wei Chi Cheng would have done something already.
"What do you want to do?!" Tian Zhi Nuo couldn't bear it anymore, first unjustly accusing Zou Hu, now indiscriminately insulting them.
"What do I want to do?! I just want to get justice for my daughter! Her baby deserves a father!"
The woman sat on the ground crying and shouting, which is truly indecent.
In the face of such unreasonable behavior, all four children wore helpless expressions, unable to curse or drive them away.
Just as they were at a loss, a little girl squeezed in from outside the door, and upon closer inspection, they realized it was A Lv.
"Mother! Don't make things difficult for them! It's all my fault!" Ah Lv also ran in crying with a choked voice, running straight towards her own mother. She sobbed and said, "It was me who had feelings for Ah Hu, if he doesn't want to take responsibility, I can raise the child by myself..."
"Hey! How can you raise an unmarried girl like this?!! This is outrageous! It's unfair!"
"These two are always in harmony, never giving others a chance to speak."
The noise in the courtyard was so loud that Zou Hu found it difficult to concentrate on developing the antidote. He frowned and walked out, startled by the scene in the courtyard.
"What are you... What are you all doing?" Zou Hu stared with wide eyes, standing frozen in place.
Before he could respond, the woman sitting on the ground stood up and rushed towards Zou Hu. She grabbed his collar and yelled, "It's you!! You must take responsibility for my daughter!!"
Zou Hu was so frightened by the vicious and ferocious face of the woman that he didn't know how to respond for a moment.
"What are you doing?!" Wei Chi Cheng hurried over, grabbed the woman's arm, gently pushed her away, shielded Zou Hu behind him, and angrily said, "Show some respect!"
"Auntie, who are you? Who am I responsible for? What did I do?!" Zou Hu asked in a dazed manner.
Then he noticed Ah Lu, who was standing nearby, crying secretly.
"What did you say you did?! My daughter was slept with by you! And now she's already pregnant with your child!!" The woman pointed at Zou Hu's nose and shouted.
"What the hell?! A Lv?!" Zou Hu turned to look at A Lv, his mouth twitching slightly. "A Lv, if someone bullied you, you could have told me and I would have helped you seek revenge! But why are you falsely accusing me?"
阿绿不敢抬眸看他的眼睛，微微垂着脑袋，正想开口说话，突然觉得反胃，顿时就扶着胸口干呕起来。
邹斛是学医的，他知道阿绿那个举动是什么意思，不是胃病就是害喜。
He gently pushed Wei Chi Cheng aside and walked quickly towards A Lv, "Sorry for the intrusion." With his words, he began to diagnose her pulse.
Indeed, it was a pulse of joy, but it was weak, indicating that she had recently become pregnant.
"Green Ah?! You... " Zou Hu couldn't believe it. Just a few days ago, she was still an active little girl. How did she become a mother now?!
"Ah Hu Ge... I'm not forcing you... I won't blame you if you don't want to take responsibility. I really like you, even though I don't understand why you're pretending like nothing happened... But I can understand you. You have ambitions, you can go and do what you want to do, I'm willing to wait for you here..."
对于阿绿的这番言论，邹斛很不理解。
"What are you talking about? If someone bullies you, I can help you, but don't think that I'm stupid and easy to bully!" Zouhu thinks that this girl is inherently kind, and never expected her to falsely accuse him here.
At the critical moment, only women understand women. Wan Yan Ruojin and Tian Zhinuo each extended a hand to pull Zou Hu behind them.
"A Lü, you better tell the truth." Wan Yan Ruojin's aura was enough to intimidate the little girl in front of her.
"Ali, do you have any secrets that are difficult to speak of? We can help you." Tian Zhi Nuo said gently.
At the same time, Wan Yan Hao Xiang stood outside the door, saw the situation inside the courtyard, and showed panic, repeatedly retreating. He hid behind the wall without daring to speak.
There were tears lingering in Ah Lv's big watery eyes, and such a pitiful expression on this delicate girl was indeed worthy of sympathy.
"What are you doing? You guys want to bully my daughter?" The woman hurried over and forcefully pushed Tian Zhinuo and Wan Yanruojin away.
"I, Zou Hu, have a clear conscience. I will never admit to something I haven't done! Ah Lü, I sincerely ask myself, why do you defame me? I have treated you well, haven't I?" Zou Hu stood tall, asking confidently.
A Lv looked at Zou Hu with a serious expression, and even appeared a little angry. He felt unjustified in his heart, why wouldn't he admit it?! Am I really that unlikable?!
"Ah Guo! You can say that you don't like me, but why don't you admit what you did to me? That night, you... you hurt me several times... I endured without resistance just to make you happy..."
"What?! Don't talk nonsense!" Zou Hu was shocked. He was a pure young man and would never do such a thing.
"Stop crying! What's the use of crying?! It was on that night in the third year of junior high, you sneaked into my house! If you had just left, it would have been enough, but you even left behind a belt! Isn't that intentionally provoking me? And now you're still pretending?!" The mother of A Lv pointed her finger at Zou Hu's nose and shouted loudly.
"The third year of junior high?" Zou Hu tried to recall what he was doing that night.
"The third year of junior high..." Tian Zhinuo furrowed her brows. She remembered that night very clearly. Before returning to her room, she specifically paid attention to Zou Hu's bedroom, and it was dark at that time.
