Kissed and Seduced By the Most Rough Man in the Village-Chapter 573: Fake Injury, Easily Done

"Xiaoxiao, how are you? Don’t scare me! Hospital, hurry, get her to the hospital!" Aunt Guo reached out as if to check on Su Xiaoxiao.

But then she saw the young girl wink at her, just a little.

Aunt Guo nearly froze for a moment.

Luckily, her quick reflexes kicked in, and she immediately started crying harder.

She looked toward the bystanders and pleaded, "Does anyone have a car? Can anyone help us get to the hospital? Please, my daughter-in-law is young, just pregnant. If something happens, how are we going to handle it?"

The onlookers were all taken aback by this sudden development. They quickly sprang into action.

"Aunt, don’t worry. It’s safer to drive your daughter-in-law to the hospital. We’ll go borrow a car from the leaders. Please, don’t move her."

The group rushed to find a car from the leaders or the political commissar.

A few of the onlookers stayed behind, keeping a watchful eye on Mrs. Qiu and Qiu Yulan.

Mrs. Qiu, now in a panic, insisted, "We can’t go to the leaders! We can just go to our old Qiu, he has a car."

"Bah! With such a big issue, are you seriously trying to hide it from the leaders? You two are so heartless, taking advantage of Officer Su’s absence, mother and daughter together, bullying this young girl!" A military wife blocked their path, refusing to let them leave.

Qiu Yulan stomped her feet in anger.

"Don’t be fooled by this little bitch, she’s faking it. We didn’t even touch her just now!"

Earlier, she had said some harsh words, but this little bitch was clearly staging this scene to ruin them.

"Smack!" Aunt Guo leaped up and slapped her across the face.

"Just because you’re the colonel’s daughter doesn’t mean you can go this far! My daughter-in-law is pregnant, and you pushed her like that, and now you dare to insult her in public!" Aunt Guo’s eyes were bloodshot, her body trembling with anger.

"You old witch, you dare slap me?" Qiu Yulan covered her face, incredulously.

The surrounding onlookers, mostly military wives, spoke out in agreement. "You two were clearly at fault, and now you’re insulting others. You deserve this slap! If this had happened to my daughter-in-law, I would have torn your faces apart!"

Before, Qiu Yulan and her mother had held themselves high, looking down on everyone beneath them, especially anyone with a lower rank than Colonel Qiu.

And even if someone outranked Colonel Qiu, if they were from the countryside, they were still beneath them.

People had always tolerated their haughty attitude, but now they were seeing the true face of their family.

Qiu Yulan, seeing everyone support Su Xiaoxiao, was so furious she almost burst into tears.

She no longer cared about her previous "high-class" image and wanted to argue back, but her mother yanked her forcefully.

Qiu Yulan didn’t know what her mother had planned, but could only obediently shut her mouth.

"Officer Su, I know we were too anxious earlier, but we didn’t mean it. You know how busy the leaders are, right? How about we settle this privately? We can apologize, compensate, whatever you want, we’ll do it." Mrs. Qiu feigned a face full of apology, trying to persuade them.

Although they had been intentionally set up, with so many witnesses, it was clear that they had caused trouble.

If Su Hongchen’s sister wasn’t pregnant, it wouldn’t matter much. An unmarried young woman falling would be just a small thing, what’s the big deal?

But the problem was that she was pregnant. Even if nothing happened to her, if the leaders found out, their family would be ruined.

Luckily, Su Hongchen’s sister had married a bumpkin.

This bumpkin wouldn’t care much about such things. A small amount of money would likely settle it.

Even if something happened to the baby, they deserved it.

After all, they had tried to trick Mrs. Qiu and her daughter. In the end, they could just pay a couple of hundred and be done with it.

By the time Su Hongchen returned, the matter would have been quietly resolved.

Even if he was angry, he wouldn’t be able to make a fuss about it.

Mrs. Qiu felt confident in her plan. But just as she thought everything was in the bag, a mouthful of spit landed on her face.

"Bah! This is just bureaucratic behavior! It’s the mentality that oppresses common people like us! I’m telling you, this matter can’t be settled quietly. Whoever comes here, it’s not going to be settled! If the military leaders don’t give me an explanation, I will go to Beijing to file a complaint! If anything happens to my daughter-in-law or her child, I’ll hang myself at the gate of the base!" Aunt Guo shouted, full of righteous anger.

Mrs. Qiu was disgusted, but she couldn’t lose her temper.

Especially hearing Aunt Guo’s words, her face drained of color from fear.

She was about to say something, but at that moment, a group of people hurriedly ran toward them from a distance.

Everyone collectively turned to look in the direction of the voice. When they saw that the person who had arrived was their district’s leader and political commissar, their expressions changed.

Mrs. Qiu and Qiu Yulan were so frightened that their legs went soft. They had to support each other to avoid falling.

"Jiang, don’t panic, I’ve already sent the orderly to fetch the car," Fan Yunping said urgently.

Then his gaze fell on Su Xiaoxiao’s tear-streaked face.

"Su, don’t be afraid, don’t think about anything for now. We will definitely protect you and the baby."

Everyone noticed how close and familiar Fan Yunping’s attitude was toward Su Xiaoxiao and Jiang Yexun, which caused some odd looks among the crowd.

Especially Mrs. Qiu and Qiu Yulan, who had the distinct feeling that their situation was hopeless.

No, they absolutely couldn’t let this family say anything more, or they would be done for.

Thinking this, Mrs. Qiu quickly said, "Fan Zhuhuang, actually, this was all a misunderstanding. We..."

"Shut up! This matter will be investigated by the army. Don’t think you can smear Su Xiaoxiao. How would this issue even come up if you hadn’t gone to someone else’s house?" Fan Yunping interrupted her sternly.

Not to mention that last night, Su Hongchen had come to see him and told him that his sister had just gotten pregnant, and was now at risk.

She asked the army for extra attention and protection.

Moreover, because her sister and brother-in-law had stirred up a big spy case in Beijing, more and more spies were being uncovered. These were all individuals in important positions, some of whom hadn’t even started operating.

He was worried about retaliation, so he had put his sister and brother-in-law in the district to prevent those spies from striking back.

Who knew that in less than six hours, Su Hongchen’s sister would cause such a huge issue.

Moreover, Xiaoxiao, this girl, had contributed to the country’s development of a super steel that was leading globally. She was now a key protected individual of the state.

Considering both factors, the Qiu family was likely to be investigated as spies repeatedly.

And not just for the past few years; they would have to look into the past twenty years thoroughly.

If they were spies, the whole family wouldn’t escape punishment.

Even if they weren’t spies, who could guarantee that this family, and their relatives, hadn’t done anything wrong over the past twenty years?

At that point, not only would they all be implicated, but Old Qiu would certainly lose his position.

Even if they were completely innocent, today’s incident involving harming a military family would mean that Old Qiu would face demotion and punishment.

The jobs of the mother and daughter in front of him were certainly doomed as well.

But these people deserved it. They always found trouble out of nowhere.

The more Fan Yunping thought about it, the angrier he became. He looked at Mrs. Qiu and Qiu Yulan as though they were already dead.

A few minutes later, the car finally arrived.

Jiang Yexun carefully helped Su Xiaoxiao into the car, and Aunt Guo hurriedly followed.

Once the car drove off, Qiu Yulan, with red-rimmed eyes, pitifully looked at her mother and said, "Mom, what do we do now?"

"We need to hurry and find your dad, and then bring money and gifts to the hospital to apologize," Mrs. Qiu tugged at her, rushing toward the exit.

Once they were out of earshot of the military wives, Qiu Yulan, feeling unjust, said, "We clearly didn’t push her. She fell on purpose. Why should we take the blame for this? The army can’t just ignore this!"

"We showed up at their house, and Su Hongchen’s sister is pregnant. Even if the sky falls, it’s our fault. Now we can only try to settle it privately, or else our family is finished," Mrs. Qiu furrowed her brows.

Seeing her daughter remain silent, she scolded, "Don’t throw a tantrum! Didn’t you hear that Fan Zhuhuang called Su Hongchen’s husband ’Little Jiang’ and even referred to that woman as ’Comrade Jiang’? That shows they know each other, and their relationship is not ordinary. We’ve already lost. We can only minimize the punishment as much as possible."

Qiu Yulan didn’t fully understand why everything had turned out like this, but seeing her mother so anxious, she realized that this matter was probably much bigger than she had imagined.

She nodded and quickened her pace.

Meanwhile, Su Xiaoxiao, who had been sent to the hospital, underwent a series of tests. While it was confirmed that the baby was fine, her body and the embryo were both fragile due to her pregnancy.

After hearing the descriptions from Jiang Yexun and Aunt Guo, the doctor frowned and said, "This is outrageous! How could anyone treat a pregnant woman like that? Your wife is young and has had a sheltered life, she’s physically weak. What were those people trying to do? Causing a miscarriage is no small matter. Here’s what we’ll do: I’ll arrange for a bed. You can stay in the hospital until around eight or nine tonight. If you feel fine by then, we can discharge you. We doctors on night shift don’t rest until ten, so we’ll be here to monitor you just in case anything happens."
