    Chapter 182 Divorce - Daily Gossip of a Frail Young Woman in the Compound

    An older woman asked, "Didn't Zhou Qin, that fool, notice anything was off on his wedding night?"

    "What do you mean, sister?" Fu Huihui was puzzled.

    Lin Qing blushed; she immediately understood what the elder sister meant.

    "Oh, look at Xiao Lin—she’s married, so she knows what I mean. You young folks, not married yet, don’t know a thing," the elder sister teased, noticing Lin Qing's flushed face.

    Fu Huihui glanced at Lin Qing, who turned away, unwilling to discuss it with her.

    "Ah, Old Li, if you know she doesn’t get it, stop asking!"

    "That idiot Zhou Qin must’ve been tricked!"

    He didn’t even notice if she was a virgin on their wedding night—it’s no wonder Zhou Qin is now a happy father.

    Wang Jiaojiao stood there, stunned. Lin Qing, who had just turned her face away, saw her like this, "What’s wrong?"

    Wang Jiaojiao shook her head, "I never thought Wang Qiaomei would be so bold. She had the nerve to hook up with Jin Jianhua before marriage, and then she went and married someone else while pregnant!"

    Lin Qing patted her shoulder, "Don’t overthink it. Even though Jin Jianhua and Wang Qiaomei were involved, I doubt they ever planned to get married."

    "Ah?" Lin Qing's words left her completely baffled!

    "Their families are too poor. Without jobs, they’d have to move to the countryside. Even if they married, they’d probably end up in the countryside together!

    That’s why they went after you and Zhou Qin separately. Even without you and Zhou Qin, there would have been others. They’re both selfish—they might like each other, but they wouldn’t give up their cushy lives for love. Otherwise, Jin Jianhua wouldn’t have ended up in the countryside in the first place!"

    Wang Jiaojiao nodded, still confused but pretending to understand.

    The news about Wang Qiaomei cheating on Zhou Qin spread like wildfire, and by the afternoon, everyone knew about it!

    Zhou Qin was the laughingstock again. Being cheated on or becoming a ‘happy father’—both were humiliating for a man, and Zhou Qin was almost going crazy!

    In the afternoon, when Lin Qing went home, she mentioned this to Cen Xi.

    "I heard about it too! It was the talk of the town this afternoon!" Cen Xi's face was full of understanding.

    "Wow! I thought you wouldn’t know!"

    "All thanks to my nosy coworker!" It was Xiao Yifan, that man. Who knows how he gets all the gossip so fast?

    Anyway, once Xiao Yifan knows, it’s not long before the whole department knows.

    Cen Xi also knew thanks to him.

    "I wonder how they are now? Let’s hurry back!" Lin Qing got excited, thinking there might be more excitement when they got back!

    "Alright!" Cen Xi didn’t object; he was quite curious himself.

    "Let’s go!"

    ...

    Uncle Zhou hurried to the infirmary, "What’s wrong with my son? What exactly happened?"

    The person who went to call him didn’t dare to tell him the whole story. Zhou Qin had already broken down and gone crazy in the infirmary; Uncle Zhou couldn’t have another accident, or there would be no one to take care of things!

    Moreover, upon arriving at the clinic, if Uncle Zhou were to become upset, doctors would be readily available to attend to him.

    "Uncle Zhou, you'll understand once you get there!"

    "We're here now, just say it!"

    The person hesitated, opened their mouth, and finally closed their eyes before speaking.

    "Comrade Wang Qiaomei is pregnant!"

    Uncle Zhou was almost overwhelmed with excitement!

    "But she's two months along, and the child isn't your son's!"

    Uncle Zhou's body froze in place from his excitement, and he nearly couldn’t catch his breath!

    After finishing the story, the person opened their eyes wide and watched as Uncle Zhou gasped for air. "Uncle Zhou, Uncle Zhou, are you alright?"

    "Doctor, doctor, come quickly and check on Uncle Zhou!" they shouted into the clinic.

    Many people turned their heads, and someone called out, "Uncle Zhou has arrived!"

    The crowd gathered at the door quickly made way for them!

    As Uncle Zhou entered the clinic, he saw Zhou Qin, red-faced and cursing, and trembled as he asked, "Son! Is what they're saying true?"

    "Dad! Dad! That woman, Wang Qiaomei, deceived me—she's pregnant with someone else’s child! Waaaah..." Zhou Qin cried even harder.

    Zhou Qin, sobbing and wiping his nose, looked utterly pitiful.

    After hearing this, Uncle Zhou glared furiously at Wang Qiaomei lying on the hospital bed. How dare that woman deceive them?

    Seeing the look in Uncle Zhou's eyes, Wang Qiaomei finally panicked. What should she do?

    "Divorce, divorce! Zhou Qin, you must divorce her!" Uncle Zhou would never allow a woman who had cuckolded his son and carried another man’s child to remain his daughter-in-law!

    Zhou Qin's eyes lit up. "Right, divorce! I will divorce her, and she must return her job!"

    Wang Qiaomei was frantic. She didn’t want a divorce; she had gone through great lengths to marry Zhou Qin for the sake of the job. If she lost the job, how would she survive?

    "No, I won't agree!" Wang Qiaomei shouted loudly.

    Zhou Qin was being held back, and Uncle Zhou, equally hot-tempered, slapped Wang Qiaomei directly across the face. "You shameless woman, how dare you speak up and argue?"

    Wang Qiaomei’s ears rang from the slap.

    "Son, let’s take her to get a divorce right now!"

    "Okay!"

    After Uncle Zhou and Zhou Qin had agreed between themselves, they immediately prepared to drag Wang Qiaomei off the hospital bed to go get a divorce.

    But how could Wang Qiaomei possibly agree? She started throwing a tantrum right on the hospital bed.

    "No, I won't agree!" Wang Qiaomei dodged the hands of the father and son reaching out to her.

    "You have no choice but to agree! You have no say in this!"

    "Ahhh! Let me go!" Wang Qiaomei struggled desperately.

    "It hurts, my stomach hurts, it really hurts!" Unable to break free, Wang Qiaomei started crying out in stomach pain!

    The representatives from the factory's women's federation were taken aback, but since Wang Qiaomei had started crying out in pain, they couldn't just stand by and let the Zhou family father and son drag her off!

    "Hey! You two, father and son, let her go! She's pregnant now, and if something goes wrong, it won't be good!"

    The Zhou family father and son stopped in their tracks and released her!

    "Qin, let's not get divorced, okay? Please, let's not get divorced."

    "Not get divorced? Do you expect me to raise the child in your belly?" Zhou Qin sneered.

    Wang Qiaomei quickly shook her head, crying, "I don't want the child in my belly anymore. Let's not get divorced, okay?"

    There was a sharp intake of breath—
