Chapter 179: You're already pregnant, nobody but my family will want you!

~16 min read 3,082 words

Looking at the message in his hand, Zhou Yi felt a bit troubled.

He didn't know when it started, but a shopping website called Pinduoduo appeared on the market.

The prices of the items inside were unimaginably cheap, but in exchange, it required one to "slash a knife" at every turn.

It meant asking you to go onto WeChat or other social media apps to invite your friends to help you slash a knife, which was just clicking on it.

The original price of a certain product might be quite high, but as long as you could pull people in, you could make the price lower.

Under such circumstances, middle-aged and elderly people like Zhou Yi's parents naturally started forwarding these things in all sorts of ways, making Zhou Yi feel annoyed.

Because if you want to help click or slash a knife, you have to download this app, which makes people feel particularly uncomfortable.

You get the feeling that for such a small matter, you downloaded an app and had to register, which is equivalent to inexplicably doing something you didn't want to do.

But unfortunately, because many of the people sending these messages asking for help are your relatives or friends, you have no way to refuse.

It's not that downloading an app and registering is such a big deal; it's mainly that it feels uncomfortable inside. Although this isn't a matter of freedom or lack thereof, this kind of semi-coercive thing is always unpleasant.

So, under these circumstances, Zhou Yi saw this shopping website start to develop at an incredible speed.

Furthermore, while many people—for instance, that person who doesn't like Mr. Qian's Company—hadn't even really reacted, this shopping website had already become very large.

And now, they have many new ways to play, such as this cash red envelope that Mother Zhou just sent over.

It is said to be a lucky draw; the more people you invite, the more chances you get to draw.

Zhou Yi hesitated for a moment, and Mother Zhou sent over another Photo.

He took a look; eh, it felt pretty good—a thousand yuan, and it was already at nine hundred ninety-nine point nine five!

In other words, just five cents short, and then he could get a thousand yuan for free?

Because he had helped click before without looking closely, Zhou Yi became interested this time and quickly helped click.

"Mom, remember to come back and treat us to a meal when you get the thousand yuan!"

It was already over nine hundred ninety-nine yuan, just five cents left; surely there shouldn't be a problem.

It seems this Company is still in the cash-burning stage; that's pretty good.

Zhou Yi shook his head and immediately started attending to business.

"Hello, Manager, it's me, Zhou Yi. Yes, I encountered a small matter today, so I can't go to the Company. Yes, it's just a small matter..."

"I'm not making excuses, really. How could you think that, Lao Quan? Two people were taken away by the Police Station; of course, that's not my fault..."

After finishing a few sentences, Zhou Yi wiped the sweat from his brow.

He didn't know why, but the General Manager attached great importance to his, Zhou Yi's, attendance at work, feeling that as the chairman of the Company, he still had to hold meetings often to encourage everyone.

But Zhou Yi felt there was no need at all; as long as the salary was sufficient, that was more satisfying than any meeting or empty promises.

It's just a pity that his Tengda Company isn't very authentic; otherwise, he would have crushed all the other companies on the market in minutes!

Courier companies are awesome, right? Believe it or not, I could also run a courier company. I would provide the best service, and I would give the couriers the best treatment...

Of course, there's no way; I can only blame the system grandson for not being capable.

Look at other people's systems; that's what you call a god-tier tycoon!

However, today's matter is indeed worth making a video about, because many people now have all sorts of bad habits when driving.

Road rage and the like are everywhere; some people even think you are provoking them if you honk your horn twice, never thinking that it's because they are driving at a turtle's pace on the highway...

In short, it's just absurd. You don't even know how they got their driver's licenses; it feels like they don't even understand the most basic Road Traffic Safety Law.

Arriving home, he first ordered takeout, and while waiting for the food, Zhou Yi started recording the video.

"Hello, everyone, my dear viewers. I am your old friend A Yi. It rained heavily in Jingzhou yesterday, and as a result, I ran into trouble today."

"Uh... maybe I've been possessed by the god of bad luck these past few months; I run into trouble everywhere I go. Everyone, just take it as a show."

"Just while waiting for the bus, a car sped past, and then, those of us waiting for the bus became drowned rats."

"I believe many people in life have encountered such things, more or less, and for someone like me, I definitely cannot tolerate it!"

"I called the police directly... of course, it was absolutely not because my camera got water in it."

The video accompanying this part was the Monitoring footage Zhou Yi obtained, where one could clearly see that when the car came by, it splashed a lot of water.

"Friends, I originally thought this matter was simple: the Traffic Police Team would notify the other party, and then they would pay the fines and pay the damages as they should."

"But as it turns out, first of all, we had an auntie on our side with extraordinary combat power; her roar could shatter the universe and even grind the Great Dao to nothing."

"And the other party? She directly called her mother, and so, the two aunties began a great battle..."

"Honestly, with this level of combat power, someone like me isn't even qualified to participate, let alone the fact that they dared to make a move at the Traffic Police Team... Do they really feel that if they act shamelessly, they won't be punished by the law?"

The voiceover here was accompanied by the clip of Zhou Mouren and Miss Xiao Xu talking like they were performing a crosstalk routine.

The two of them went back and forth; it was so harmonious.

"The Traffic Police Team was called, then the police arrived, and that driver and this auntie were all taken away."

"And then, this person on the other side, she turned around and threatened us, saying that it was because we called the police that her son was taken away."

"She even said that she wasn't finished with us over this matter!"

"My dear viewers, really, I've actually seen requests like this a few times in my life... so I must satisfy her."

"So I walked out of the Traffic Police Team and took the others to file a Lawsuit..."

Zhou Yi's thinking was actually similar to Lawyer Fang's; for some relatively simple cases where evidence is easy to secure, he encourages everyone to take legal channels rather than relying on making a scene.

Now that the rule of law is being promoted, this point must be kept in mind, and Zhou Yi also hopes that his dear viewers can all have some basic legal common sense.

Then, when encountering unfair things, they can use the power of the law to safeguard their own legitimate rights and interests.

"Sigh, I haven't had time to go to the Court recently. Arriving at the Court is just like arriving home. Alright, the Lawsuit has been filed; that's all for today's video."

This video was still the first part, but Zhou Yi hesitated for a long time, not knowing what kind of title to choose.

He actually had an idea, but he was afraid everyone would call him a clickbaiter... forget it, let them scold me if they want!

Zhou Yi quickly entered the title: Two more taken away, but this time it absolutely has nothing to do with me! (Part 1)

After editing, he checked it front and back again to make sure there were no problems; the usual rule, everything that needs a Mosaic must be heavily blurred.

Click to upload!

The takeout has arrived; it's still their favorite pork trotter rice.

While Zhou Yi was heartily enjoying his pork trotter rice, on the other side, Fangfang, who had just returned home, felt extremely unwell.

Because earlier, her boyfriend's mother had gotten into an argument with the other party again.

Regarding this kind of matter, in most cases, it is mediated if it can be, and the Police Station won't really do anything either.

But if you are still there making a scene and arguing, and won't accept mediation, then things will be handled as they should be.

The auntie on the other side demanded to go for a check-up and wanted Zhao Wenjing to pay; Zhao Wenjing naturally refused, saying one thing: "If you want me to pay, go sue me."

"Besides, I had my hair pulled by you, so I need to go for a check-up too."

The auntie was not Zhou Yi, so she could only make a scene with the police officers; once the police officers saw the situation, they directly said, "If you two cannot reach a mediation, then both sides will have to undergo Administrative Detention."

As for the auntie's condition, some people had already looked at it, and the answer was that there was absolutely nothing wrong; the auntie was currently full of energy while arguing and was jumping around.

Facts proved that Comrade Qi Ming thought quite correctly; the deterrent power of his brother department was indeed higher than his.

At the very least, not long after this sentence came out, both sides agreed to mediation...

Then there was nothing left to do; pay the money if you need to pay, and do what you need to do.

Originally, this matter would have ended there, but Zhao Wenjing repeatedly urged Fangfang not to say anything reckless when she went back.

And then, to settle the marriage as soon as possible.

Of course, these things were not actually important; the main thing was a sentence Zhao Wenjing said inadvertently: "Look, you are already pregnant, so let's not make things too troublesome..."

Yes, her boyfriend's mother already knew she was pregnant, and the feeling in her tone was: "Look, you are already pregnant, so you are one of our family."

It seemed she already had her figured out...

Previously, she had agreed with her boyfriend not to tell anyone else about her pregnancy.

As a result, while she had completely kept it hidden from her own family, the other party had turned around and told his mother...

Fangfang's mind was very chaotic right now; on one hand, there were indeed feelings, and on the other, she was indeed pregnant.

If they didn't get married, what would happen to the child? If she had an abortion, what would happen to her in the future?

She knew many comments online; many people would not want a girl who had had an abortion.

And the appearance of the other party's mother, her future mother-in-law, made Fangfang very afraid; she worried that if she married into that family, facing such an overbearing mother-in-law, her future days would be uncomfortable.

Returning home, facing her parents' concerned inquiries, Fangfang made an excuse, saying her boyfriend's Company had an urgent matter, and then she went back to her room.

After thinking for a while, Fangfang took out her phone and sent a message to her boyfriend, asking how his family knew about her pregnancy.

Soon, Lv Xuewen replied to the message.

"Fangfang, this is a good thing! Look, we are definitely going to get married, so it's the same whether my mom knows early or late; we'll be one family in the future, and she can take care of you sooner..."

The same... Fangfang thought for a moment and replied again: "But you promised me you wouldn't tell others. Let me ask you, what about our Bride Price? Have you talked to your family about it?"

The Bride Price was supposed to be according to the normal standards of Jingzhou City, and Fangfang had also said that her parents would prepare an equal dowry, which would then be brought back together to serve as the startup capital for their small family.

"Oh, I talked to my mom about it. This... my mom's meaning is that nowadays, people don't ask for Bride Price; there's no need for it."

"If we don't have money in the future, we can just ask the family; there's no need for this, it's just for the sake of face."

Looking at this message, Fangfang's heart suddenly turned cold, because her boyfriend's words were different from before.

Before, when they were together, whatever she said, her boyfriend would say it was no problem, and even said the Bride Price was definitely no problem.

Now, he had gone back on his word, and he didn't intend to give a single cent.

"Well said," asking the family for money when they didn't have any in the future? So after the two of them set up a new family, they would continue to reach out and ask their parents for money?

"Fine, I get it. That means your family doesn't intend to give a single cent, right? You were lying to me before, right?"

On the other side, Lv Xuewen said anxiously: "Fangfang, that's not how you put it. Once you marry over, we are one family, so my family's money is our money; why must you dwell on this?"

After seeing this, Fangfang finally stopped hesitating.

"Lv Xuewen, let's break up."

On the other side, Lv Xuewen was holding his phone chatting when he suddenly saw this sentence and was instantly stunned.

"Mom!"

"Mom, Fangfang, she said she wants to break up with me and even blocked me."

Zhao Wenjing, who had just finished working in the kitchen, walked out, looked at their chat history, and then said: "What are you worried about? She is already pregnant; can they break up that easily?"

"That's just to scare you."

"Otherwise, if she gets pregnant and then has an abortion, and then tries to marry someone else, would anyone still want her? Don't worry, wait a day or two, then go find her."

Zhao Wenjing was not worried at all; it could even be said that after she knew the other party was pregnant, she didn't intend to spend a single cent on the Bride Price.

Anyway, she was already one of their family, so why spend this wasted money?

Therefore, Zhao Wenjing didn't take it to heart at all and continued into the kitchen to start working.

Time flowed like water, and Zhou Yi's new video caused a sensation once again.

In the eyes of those audience members of his, what does it have to do with him? As long as they are sent in, it has to do with him!

Although this probably wouldn't lead to jail time, it doesn't matter; we just want to be the county magistrate's wife, who cares who the county magistrate is?

"I've encountered being splashed by road puddles before; really, these people are so hateful!"

"+1, it's just that I didn't call the police back then; now that I think about it, I missed out on a noble person..."

There are too many similar small things like this in life, so it can easily resonate with everyone.

Of course, there were also some people who had other thoughts after seeing today's fighting incident.

"A Yi has already embarked on a path of no return; honestly, I'm just afraid that one day he'll be beaten into a fool by someone with a sack."

"Same worry, this guy is getting more and more serious now; the law can't make you invulnerable. Maybe he will really encounter a ruthless person, and even if the other party goes to jail in the end..."

"Makes sense, so should A Yi go learn some self-defense methods?"

In the words of the audience members, someone like A Yi really might get beaten up in reality...

And at such times, just as they said, if you really encounter some special circumstances, the law will not turn into armor to protect you.

Even if everyone is sentenced after the fact, if he were to be beaten into some condition, wouldn't that be a huge loss?

Zhou Yi was seeing these comments for the first time, and it was true; he really did seem to need to pay attention to this point.

Before, he would open his mouth and claim to have "congenital heart disease," and even provoke others by saying, "If you have the ability, then hit me."

But if the other party were a hothead and just hit him...

The consequences would be unthinkable.

Yet the grandson of a system isn't giving him any self-defense methods right now; he wouldn't mind a bit of Baji or Wing Chun or something.

The sky had grown dark, and Zhou Yi planned to go out for a stroll when his phone rang; it was a voice message from his mother.

"The big meal is gone. I pulled in so many people today, and I don't know why, but I just couldn't manage to get that one-thousand-yuan grand prize."

"I can't be bothered to do it anymore. Many friends told me to stop sending it, saying it's too much trouble to always make people click on it."

The second update today; because someone in the group encountered a labor dispute, honestly, Lao Zhou never expected that the book he wrote could actually help people, which makes him really happy. A third update is not guaranteed, so everyone sleep early, save up drafts tomorrow, and the double monthly ticket event starts on the 28th, when I will burst out with updates.

I hope everyone doesn't think this part about Fangfang is filler; this is to kick off a very important plotline.

Thanks to the brothers Book 10086, Fat Cat Story, Flash Chase Kingdom, Teacher is Water, Mountain Sea View, and Empty City 1316 for their tips, thank you.
