Quick Transmigration: Even Extras Want to Be Leading Actresses

Chapter 172 Qualifying Match (6)

So, by the time Qiu Niang was found to be pregnant, she was already more than three months along.

It was discovered by the two servants who were taking care of Chen Wangxi.

Qiu Niang was completely distraught after learning about this.

Why now of all times? How can we get a divorce now?

Qiu Niang didn't want this child.

As for Gu Shijiu, it naturally didn't matter.

If you want it, you can have it; if you don't, you can just get it done.

Qiu Niang was pregnant and couldn't find another husband, so she dared not divorce him.

She already knew about the outside world from herself and Chen Wangxi.

Or should I abort the child and then find another partner?

While she was still hesitating, Qiu Niang was six months pregnant.

This is not going to be easy.

At such a late stage of pregnancy, no respectable doctor in town dared to prescribe abortion pills, as it could easily result in the death of both mother and child.

At this stage, the hospital has not yet opened.

Qiu Niang herself was not in good health.

She's not fat anymore, but she doesn't eat or drink as well as before, and she lives in constant fear, worried that she might get beaten up at any time.

Since Chen Wangxi went mad, no one has been beating her, and her life has actually gotten better than before.

He's been worrying all day long, and he's gotten so thin he's just skin and bones.

Even after losing weight, she still looks frail and delicate.

Seeing this, Chen Wangnan gave her more money each month, saying that the Chen family could support the child after it was born.

Now that she has the entire Chen family under her control, her past ambitions have come true, and she feels somewhat out of place.

Gu Shijiu was impatient with those grand principles, so she asked someone to buy a lot of books from Beijing and Shanghai and send them to her, and also subscribed to newspapers.

As for how well he learns, that depends on Chen Wangnan himself.

When Gu Shijiu was young, she didn't understand anything. It was Shi Qi who patiently taught her, which is why she is where she is today.

Therefore, she wouldn't look down on Chen Wangnan for not being open-minded enough.

There always has to be a process.

More than three months later, Qiu Niang gave birth to a boy.

She probably felt that she was a great contributor to the Chen family, and had some inappropriate thoughts.

Hmph, with all those women in the Chen family, now that they finally have a boy, they're bound to treat him like a treasure.

Unfortunately, Gu Shijiu didn't think that way.

Chen Wangnan and Yang Jinfeng wanted to take the child back to the Chen family to raise, but Qiu Niang absolutely refused.

She knew in her heart that once the child entered the Chen family and was raised by Chen Wangnan, how much status would she, as the mother, have in the future?

As long as we can control the only grandson of the Chen family, won't the Chen family be in charge of everything in the future?

As for the eldest brother, Chen Wangdong, she had long forgotten about him.

Gu Shijiu didn't care about her at all, and told Chen Wangnan not to worry about her either, just give her some money so she wouldn't starve to death.

Chen Wangnan still obeyed his mother's words without question and, as expected, stopped paying attention to her.

Just as Qiu Niang was gritting her teeth and holding out against the Chen family, Chen Wangdong actually returned, still wearing his military uniform!

This is big news.

Qiu Niang was filled with regret; she should have known better than to get entangled with Chen Wangxi.

After enduring so much hardship and suffering, all I got was a bastard.

If she had waited patiently for Chen Wangdong, wouldn't she be a military officer's wife by now?

Chen Wangdong already knew everything from his sister Chen Wangnan, and he simply didn't know what to say.

He's only been away for a few years, how did things get to this point?

Chen Wangdong couldn't face Qiu Niang now, let alone his younger brother.

He was a factory worker when he encountered a worker strike organized by someone.

Chen Wangdong was educated, and he felt that his opportunity had come, so he participated in the strike.

Later, because he had been exposed to new ideas and learned to read and write, he quickly distinguished himself among the revolutionary masses.

After much thought, he decided to join the army.

Because of his previous achievements, he didn't have to start from the bottom as a private; he directly became the secretary of a mid-level officer, handling paperwork and other matters for him.

We've fought several battles in the past two years, so this is a triumphant return home.

Chen Wangdong had always been thinking about Qiu Niang, but he never expected that Qiu Niang was no longer the pure and artistic girl she used to be.

She's now her brother's wife, and they even had a child. And her brother has ended up like that.

Chen Wangdong was in pain and conflicted, and he still dared not see Qiu Niang.

Qiu Niang stood at the entrance of the Chen family's house and waited for several days before finally seeing him.

The moment Qiu Niang saw Chen Wangdong, tears welled up in her eyes, and she cried out, "Young Master."

Her voice was plaintive and tearful, as if she had suffered a great injustice.

Chen Wangdong's heart clenched, and an indescribable emotion welled up inside him: "You should call me elder brother now."

Qiu Niang cried even harder, but Chen Wangdong felt that his younger brother was the one who should feel wronged.

He left to give the three of them some space, but how could his younger brother have ruined himself like this?

Compared to Chen Wangxi's ordeal, all of Qiu Niang's grievances seemed insignificant.

In any case, she still has people who feed and care for her.

Having experienced exploitation, hunger, and war, Chen Wangdong has matured considerably.

So many people are still suffering on this land, war is spreading everywhere, and our motherland is still being bullied by foreign powers.

Chen Wangdong felt that he had gone too far and was too naive to have been so obsessed with petty romances in the past.

His return this time was both to visit his family and to settle the matter of Qiu Niang.

After that, he may be away from home for many years, and it's unknown when he will return next.

It seems that now that the younger sister has taken over the family business, Qiu Niang's problems no longer need to be solved.

He only has his younger brother, who is very pitiful.

"Sister-in-law, please take me to see Wangxi." Chen Wangdong's attitude was clear.

Qiu Niang was struck dumb: "Young Master, don't you want me anymore either?"

Chen Wangdong was baffled: "You've already chosen Wangxi and even had a child with her, what makes you say that?"

Oh, I've long since forgotten about that useless husband.

Qiu Niang didn't care about her married status at all, and thought she could still act recklessly in front of her two brothers as before.

In her mind, there was only the logic of Chen Wangdong coaxing her.

I never expected the young master to become so heartless. Men are all the same.

Qiu Niang was filled with sorrow and looked visibly dejected as she led her people home.

Chen Wangdong looked around and saw four rooms. Two servants lived in one room, Chen Wangxi lived in another, and Qiu Niang and her child lived in the third.

Chen Wangxi was dressed fairly well. Although he was not fully conscious, he was clean and the servants were attentive.

But the child wasn't so good; he was wearing dirty clothes and his hair was a mess, clearly indicating that no one took care of him.

Qiu Niang seized the opportunity to complain: "Young Master, these two servants are the most cunning and sly. They only care about the Second Young Master and don't care about us, mother and son."

Chen Wangdong no longer trusted her as before, and looked at one of the servants with a questioning gaze.

The maid said sternly, "Young Master, Madam said that raising children is the parents' responsibility, not hers."

The second young master was in poor health, and she didn't let the second young mistress fulfill her duties as a wife; it was already quite generous of her to take over the responsibilities herself.
