Chapter 247: He couldn't help but think, in the past six months, he hadn't sent rabbit meat over, right?

After Ji Xianxian's miscarriage, she recuperated in the military region hospital for three days.

In these few days, not only did she lose a big circle, but so did Zhou Yan.

Originally a tall guy of 1.95 meters, just standing there felt imposing, but now the first feeling he gave people was decadence, a sense of a skeleton frame.

Section Commander Duan came to express his condolences once during this period. Seeing Zhou Yan like this, he was heartbroken yet helpless.

This matter was too sudden. Not long ago, he had seen Zhou Yan smiling and sending things to him, looking forward to sending the child to the island to study in the future and studying with Jiang Ye's child.

As a result, how long had it been?

The child in Ji Xianxian's belly had a cleft lip and six-finger deformity, so they could only bear the pain and have it aborted.

Sigh, fate plays tricks on people.

Jiang Ye had a small surgery, kept it from everyone, and had recuperated almost enough in these few days.

At this moment, Ji Xianxian was handling discharge procedures, and he, as the guarantor, also came to handle the procedures.

Zhou Yan wanted to give him money, but he pushed it away.

"What is our relationship? We are brothers. If we are brothers, don't count these.

Listen to me, take sister-in-law home, find Old Mo to trade for some good things, and nourish sister-in-law's body..."

A miscarriage is also a small postpartum month, so she has to recuperate for a month, right?

Although he didn't like this sister-in-law, he couldn't help it because Brother Zhou liked her.

"Jiang Ye,"

Zhou Yan's eyes were filled with tears. Yes, they were brothers.

If it weren't for his brother being busy back and forth these few days, he would have collapsed long ago.

"Alright, don't give me this set. Recuperate well. When sister-in-law's body is better, you can have another child, and it will definitely get better..."

Jiang Ye patted Brother Zhou's shoulder. Between brothers, there was no need to say much about comforting words; just a point was enough.

As a man, as a father, he understood why Brother Zhou gave up this fetus...

The future was still long, and he hoped Brother Zhou could have a normal and healthy child.

Shen Man didn't come. Not to mention that she could go into labor at any time, just personally, because of the "Hundred Families Quilt" matter, she was still guarding against Ji Xianxian.

Jiang Ye borrowed the bicycle at home for Brother Zhou to take his wife home first, and he could return it when he had time next time.

Sending Brother Zhou and his wife out of the Jiashuyuan, he watched for a while before turning to go home.

In his eyes, this matter had come to an end.

However, for Zhou Yan and his wife, this matter was a haze in their hearts...

Old Mo had only noticed something wrong recently. Zhou Yan's house had been empty for several days, and the main gate was locked.

Asking the neighbors, the neighbors didn't know either.

Isn't that right? The couple who had disappeared for several days returned, each paler than the other.

Old Mo's question was stuck in his throat and could no longer be uttered.

He saw it: Ji Xianxian's belly was gone!

"Old Mo, I'll tell you later. Come, give me a hand, help me hold the bike."

Zhou Yan's voice was hoarse. He wanted to smile, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't.

"Understood."

Old Mo threw the half-cigarette in his mouth to the ground and crushed it directly, coming over to help.

This bicycle seemed to be Jiang Ye's wife's. Had Zhou Yan and his wife been to the island these few days?

Looking at Zhou Yan's wife's situation, something big must have happened!

Ji Xianxian didn't make a sound the whole time, looking like a rag doll that had lost its soul, letting her husband act.

Exhausted physically and mentally, after returning to the familiar room, she soon fell into a deep sleep.

Zhou Yan bent down, kissed his wife's forehead, tucked the quilt for his wife, and left the room on tiptoe.

In the courtyard, Old Mo lit another cigarette and smoked.

Seeing his brother come out, he threw one to the other party.

Zhou Yan took the cigarette, lit it, and silently signaled the other party to go to the door to talk.

"What happened?"

"A few nights ago, when I came back, I found my wife bleeding, and then..."

"An extra finger is fine, I can still save money and scrape money together to treat the child, but a cleft lip, you know it, right?"

"This kind of deformity has no cure at all. I really can't imagine the strange looks, insults, and gossip behind his back that the child would face from a young age..."

"I'd rather be selfish and deprive him of the opportunity to be born than let him bear such a heavy future."

The person who made the decision was Zhou Yan, and the most painful one was him.

Deciding the life and death of the fetus himself wasn't because he disliked this child, but because he loved this child too much...

"You were fine, how could this happen? What did your wife eat recently? Or did she come into contact with any strangers?"

After Old Mo finished listening, his brows could pinch a fly to death.

Intuition told him that there were unknown secrets inside.

"No special food. With my family's conditions, there's no way to get her any delicacies. It's just very ordinary food, occasionally relying on you and Jiang Ye for relief, giving meat coupons and such to nourish her body.

Strangers? I didn't see any. Since Xianxian married over, the neighbors in this area aren't very familiar, so there shouldn't be any strangers coming to the door, right?"

Zhou Yan shook his head. He had also thought about it for several days and had no clue.

"Ask again after sister-in-law's situation gets better. What if there's something you overlooked?"

Old Mo hinted. He didn't want his good brother to have this situation again.

He couldn't help but think, in the past six months, he hadn't sent rabbit meat over, right?

"I just came to see you. Seeing you, I feel a bit at ease. I'll go back first. I'll stew a portion of bone soup later and let Xiao Hai send it over."

"Thank you."

"Saying thank you to me, your brother, makes us distant. It's fine, you and sister-in-law are still young, you can have more if you nourish your body well."

What else could Old Mo say? He could only comfort him up to this point.

After saying that, he threw the cigarette box with only a few cigarettes left in his pocket to his brother.

At times like this, any comforting words were not as real as giving cigarettes.

"By the way, if anyone asks how the child is gone, just say your wife accidentally fell at night and had a miscarriage. Don't honestly say it was fetal deformity or cleft lip.

Don't ask why, just listen to me. I, your brother, won't harm you."

Before leaving, Old Mo gave a reminder.

In this day and age, they say they want to break superstition and eliminate the four pests.

However, the older generation who didn't read books liked to guess and spread rumors.

They didn't understand what a cleft lip was, only knowing it was a harelip, and the things they would make up behind people's backs would be as ugly as they could be.

"Okay, I know."

Zhou Yan nodded seriously. Outsiders weren't as reliable as brothers.

His wife was young, and marrying him was him climbing high.

Now that his wife suffered such a crime, it was also because he didn't take good care of his wife, it was his fault.

The excuse of a miscarriage was better than an abortion, which could protect his wife's reputation.

As for the fetus that had no fate with them, he would pray for the child to be reincarnated early.

If the child was still willing to be his child, then wait a little longer, wait until his wife's body was nourished well, and then come back... ===== CHAPTER 248 =====
