NOVEL NEXT Chapter 692 Pregnant
Fang Xiaohui covered her mouth as she emerged from the restroom.
Her face was clouded.
She was pregnant!
Calculating the dates, she knew the child was Brother Yong's.
Around that time, Song Mohuan had gone on a business trip, which lasted a full half month.
And now, the child was just a month along; if it were Song Mohuan's, there would be no signs at this point.
Fang Xiaohui gritted her teeth.
Subconsciously, she knew she couldn't keep this child, but there was no way for her not to.
If she went to the hospital for an abortion, she needed a certificate and her husband's accompaniment.
If Song Mohuan found out about the child, the timing would immediately reveal it wasn't his; they are both in the health system, if Song Mohuan didn't understand such a common fact, he'd be a doctor in vain.
It was Brother Yong who ruined her.
Fang Xiaohui's heart was full of resentment.
The child had become a hot potato.
Fang Xiaohui never expected to get pregnant with Brother Yong's child, just from that one time, and now it was beyond redemption.
Flustered and agitated, she returned to the nurse's station.
"Head Nurse, someone just called looking for you."
The young nurse handed her a piece of paper with a phone number on it, the caller asked her to return the call.
Fang Xiaohui smiled and thanked her, but a glance at the number made her heart sink.
She recognized it as Brother Yong's number instantly.
The last time, she had Brother Yong sell off those two children, and after he completed the task, he demanded she come by with money. Fang Xiaohui had made up an excuse, telling him that they had to reduce contact for a while in case it was discovered they were associating, which would blow up the situation with the children.
Brother Yong was understanding and they hadn't contacted each other for over a month, but now he had suddenly reached out again.
He must be eyeing the money she had.
Fang Xiaohui saw her unlucky value had risen to two thousand again, knowing it was because she had placed two more Unlucky Talismans on those two little kids.
Those two kids had earned her five hundred in unlucky value.
She felt shortchanged.
Two kids needed two Unlucky Talismans, yet only yielded 500 in unlucky value, how unprofitable it was.
Those Unlucky Talismans cost her 200, and netting a profit of only 300 in unlucky value wasn't worth it.
She wondered if those two kids in the countryside had no chance to be unlucky, or if the barren and dangerous environment left no room for more misfortune.
She glanced at the phone and dialed the number.
If she didn't call Brother Yong, he might show up at the hospital doors by the end of the day.
She couldn't let this man appear in front of everyone.
"I get off work at 5:30 today. After work, I'll come over. Prepare the stuff."
Fang Xiaohui coldly hung up the phone.
Brother Yong whistled on the other end and hung up as well.
His life had been going well lately; he'd moved out of that place and had gotten back his three subordinates.
The four of them rented another place, a separate yard.
There were three rooms and a small yard, making it convenient if they wanted to do anything, without being seen by others.
Considering the landlord always bullied him for being blind.
Brother Yong was a vengeful person.
A month after moving out of the landlord's place, he sent three brothers to sneak into the landlord's home at midnight.
They turned the landlord's house upside down.
Took all the valuables, stealing more than fifteen hundred yuan from the landlord's home, which was a month's rent.
Being the tenant, he naturally knew when the landlord collected rent.
He timed the action well; this money was compensation for himself being shortchanged by the landlord during those days.
The three brothers with him also ate and drank well, and of those 1500 yuan, he kept 1000, letting them split the rest.
On top of those home appliances and bicycles they stole, selling them netted an additional 200 yuan.
He didn't take any of that petty cash.
The three beneath him nearly went crazy with joy, feeling their big brother finally created such a stir right after returning, thinking they'd finally have a good life.
Brother Yong wasn't pleased, though; the three were still too inexperienced, and their skills were lacking. He still missed his old Da Hei; if Da Hei were still alive, he wouldn't even notice these subordinates.
He planned to do his own business. Money was necessary, hence pressuring Fang Xiaohui.
These few thousand yuan he had weren't spent on big feasts or anything.
After tasting success in selling children, he pondered doing this business himself.
Recently, he had connected with a line; the other party wasn't into human trafficking but rather something less moral and more profitable.
Initially, he considered trafficking children, young girls, and young brides.
After all, he'd heard enough about bachelors in poor mountainous areas unable to afford brides, saving up an entire household's money just to buy a wife to carry on the family line.
But after much consideration, selling a bride or a girl didn't fetch much money.
The risk of such a business was high, and he couldn't do it himself, ending up exploited by those traffickers.
He wanted to manage his own business directly.
He had already scoped things out, having even contacted buyers already.
Of course, he himself was the seller, but procuring goods required capital.
Originally, he didn't want to corner Fang Xiaohui, knowing there was profit with her.
Fang Xiaohui handed him the leverage herself; those two children she had tricked herself.
If she exposed him, Fang Xiaohui wouldn't come off well either. After he took care of such a big thing, did she really think she could keep his mouth shut without payment?
So, he was ready to take 45,000 this time and later demand another 50,000.
This was a gold mine.
Besides, despite her delicate and tender looks, he thought he might as well make some gains this time when she came over.
Brother Yong smiled mischievously and went back.
He sent his men to buy good food and drink; since Fang Xiaohui got off work at 5:30, she'd get to his place by 6 at the latest.
He made them all go out for a stroll.
The fewer people knowing about this, the better.
Before leaving work, Fang Xiaohui called Song Mohuan, telling him to pick up the kids from school.
Song Mohuan had no surgeries today and got off work early. Fang Xiaohui made an excuse that she needed to visit the Fang family.
To check on her foster father, who reportedly hadn't been well these days.
Song Mohuan naturally didn't oppose, having grown accustomed over the years to following whatever his wife said.
Furthermore, she was going to see her foster father, demonstrating filial piety. Why would he object to that!
Fang Xiaohui left work half an hour early, ostensibly with leave but really it was just an excuse as no one would notice.
She grabbed her bag and withdrew 20,000 yuan from the bank.
Without giving Brother Yong a little something, she couldn't pass this hurdle.
Of course, she also planned to trick him to get the photos back.
