Chapter 287: It Was Them Who Pushed Me

He Feiyan watched as Zeng Chang walked out and then ducked her head back in.

"I distinctly heard that Uncle Zeng is giving the rabbit to Sun Zailiang. Sister-in-law, just you wait, Sun Zailiang will definitely be carrying the rabbit home later."

Jiang Yu tapped her head, "Don't always worry about what others are doing. How's the school's job arrangement going?"

This semester, He Feiyan didn’t need to attend classes and was instead waiting for the school to assign her a job.

If she was lucky, she might be assigned to a school in the city.

Otherwise, it was possible she'd be sent to teach in the countryside.

He Feiyan pouted, "Some classmates have already received their notices, and all we can do is wait."

Those who received their notices first were all assigned to the countryside.

Those who hadn't received their notices yet were starting to panic.

If they were really assigned to the countryside, whether to go or not became an issue.

If they went, the disparity between the city and the countryside was too great, and many couldn't accept it.

If they didn't go, the school wouldn't arrange another job for them, so all this schooling would have been for nothing.

He Feiyan was now very anxious, afraid she might be assigned too far away.

"If it really doesn't work out, ask your eldest brother to use his connections."

Jiang Yu wasn’t worried; after all, even if He Feiyan didn’t have a job, her family could still support her.

The sisters-in-law chatted for a bit, and soon they saw Sun Zailiang walk in.

Surely enough, he was holding a rabbit in his hand.

Rabbits are all quite similar, and it’s hard to tell one from another.

Xu Lihua didn’t associate this rabbit with the one from Zeng Chang's family; she just found it strange.

“Your mother said she couldn’t get a rabbit earlier today, and now you bring one back.”

Sun Zailiang smiled. “It’s a coincidence; I bought it from someone.”

He originally planned to pay, but Zeng Chang refused to accept the money.

Jiang Li overheard their conversation and took a glance out the window.

In just one glance, she recognized the rabbit.

Wasn’t this the rabbit Zeng Chang had just given away? How did it get into Sun Zailiang’s hands?

Jiang Li hurried out of the house and shouted, “Wait!”

Sun Zailiang’s smile froze, and he stopped dead in his tracks.

“What’s wrong?”

Facing Jiang Li, he felt a mix of emotions.

First, there was the issue of seniority in the family hierarchy. Jiang Li was younger than him, so he really couldn't bring himself to call her "auntie".

Moreover, ever since Jiang Li married Zeng Chang, the Sun family had become a bit strained financially, and he harbored some resentment in his heart.

Jiang Li supported her waist, her eyes widening, her pupils dilating as she stared intently at the rabbit in his hand.

"How did you get this rabbit?"

Sun Zailiang tightened his grip on the rabbit. "Of course I bought it."

"From who?" Jiang Li pressed.

Zhao Qing came out of the house. As a pregnant woman, she was the furthest along in her pregnancy in the compound, and her belly was particularly large.

"Liangzi, come inside, why bother talking to her?"

Jiang Li blocked Sun Zailiang's path. "You're not leaving until you explain how this rabbit came into your hands!"

Zhao Qing found her inexplicable. "How else? Of course, he bought it!"

She didn't know that Zeng Chang had given away the rabbit, so naturally, she thought Sun Zailiang had bought it.

Jiang Li snorted. "Bought it? From who? Did Zeng Chang sell it to you?"

Xu Lihua pricked up her ears, sensing drama!

She asked curiously, "Jiang Li, didn't Zeng Chang say he gave the rabbit to a friend? How did it end up with Liangzi?"

Sun Zailiang said with an awkward laugh, "Auntie, you're mistaken. This wasn't bought from Uncle Zeng."

Jiang Li clenched her teeth. Zeng Chang and Sun Zailiang were in cahoots, trying to fool her!

All this talk about giving it to a friend, taking such a roundabout route, was just to pass the rabbit to the Sun family!

Her eyes welled up with anger. "I bought this rabbit from Jiang Yu—how could I not recognize it? The black fur on its head, I just dyed it with ink!"

Hearing this, Xu Lihua quickly reached out to feel the black fur on the rabbit's head, and sure enough, her hand came away stained with black ink.

"Tsk tsk, so Uncle Zeng gave the rabbit to your mother? I say, Old Ruan, if you wanted the rabbit, why didn't you just say so? Why make Uncle Zeng hide it from Jiang Li? People might think the two of you are a couple."

Sun's mother hid inside the house, not daring to make a sound. She had no idea Jiang Li would be able to recognize the rabbit.

She didn't come out, but Jiang Li wanted to go inside and confront her.

Sun Zailiang directly grabbed her. "This was given to our family by Uncle Zeng, what does it have to do with my mom?"

"How is it unrelated? How long has it been since my man gave anything to your family! If it weren't for your shameless mom, asking my man for it, would he have given the rabbit to you?"

Jiang Li shook off his hand, shouting at the top of her lungs, "Ruan Xiu Yu, if you're so obsessed with other people's men, why didn't you marry him? Now that I'm married to Zeng Chang, he has a wife and children to support, yet you keep reaching out to him for things, what's that about? Your man isn't dead, with two workers, can't you support yourself, you old hag?"

The words were truly harsh, and Sun's mother had no choice but to come out.

However, she stayed behind Zhao Qing and Sun Zailiang, not letting Jiang Li touch her.

"Jiang Li, it's really a misunderstanding. The rabbit wasn't a gift. I wanted to buy it from Uncle Zeng."

"Pah!" Jiang Yu spat in Sun Zailiang's face. "Shameless old thing, always eyeing men, you should take your son and remarry soon, stop sticking your eyes on my man!"

Sun's mother felt her face burning with shame, clutching her chest and crying out in grievance.

"I really didn't tell him to bring it; this rabbit wasn't something I asked for."

If she had admitted it, Jiang Li would have just said a few sarcastic words and let it go.

But her act of protesting her innocence made it seem like Jiang Li was bullying her, which only made people angrier the more they looked.

Jiang Li's teeth ached from clenching, and she tried to push past Sun Zailiang to hit Sun's mother.

Sun's mother ducked behind Zhao Qing again.

Zhao Qing, irritated by her tugging, pushed her away forcefully.

"Will you cut it out!"

"Oh—!!!"

Jiang Li, with her big belly, couldn't handle the push.

She lost her balance and fell to the ground with a thud, her belly hurt right away.

"My belly, it hurts, it really hurts!"

The Sun family was scared stiff, frozen in place.

It was Xu Lihua who reacted first: "This is serious! Someone hurry, Jiang Li has fallen!"

Zeng Chang, who arrived late, saw Jiang Li sitting on the ground, clutching her belly and wailing in pain the moment he stepped into the yard.

"Wife!"

Zeng Chang rushed over, falling several times in the short distance.

"What happened? Don't scare me."

Xu Lihua slapped him, urging: "Stop babbling, take her to the hospital quickly!"

Although there was a clinic at the factory, there were no obstetricians, so Jiang Li needed to be taken to the hospital.

Jiang Yu pushed out the cart from home, laying a thick pad on it.

"Quick, lift her onto it, don't delay!"

Despite her pain, Jiang Li still managed to blame the Sun family.

"They shoved me! Look at what kind of ungrateful people you've raised all these years, you've fed and clothed them well, and they want to kill your only son!"

Zeng Chang's eyes turned bloodshot, glaring at Sun's mother.

That man-eating look made Sun's mother's heart skip a beat.

She wanted to defend herself, but Zeng Chang didn't have time to listen; he was busy pushing Jiang Li to the hospital.
