CHAPTER 331: CHAPTER 329: LOST THE RIGHT TO BE A MOTHER

The atmosphere here was completely different from the Zhang Family, which had plunged into a heavy mood.

The old man had a stern face and said nothing, while the old lady clutched her chest, also looking unwell. Zhang Ting had already thrown caution to the wind; after all, they all knew, and she couldn’t be killed. There was no point in being afraid.

So she sat on the sofa, quite at ease.

As for Lin Cuifen, she was trembling with fear.

Because the person involved with her daughter was her own nephew, who disappeared after the wrongdoing and couldn’t be found.

She didn’t want her daughter to marry into her own family either, given the poor conditions, and her sister-in-law wasn’t a good person either, sure to make the daughter-in-law’s life difficult.

Yet the child in her daughter’s belly, she had planned well, to ask Lin Xue to raise the child for her daughter, covering the reputation issue, since they had been married for so long without children.

But that bitch refused and even blew the whistle on the whole thing, so now her daughter was ruined, with so many people knowing about it.

Zhang Yu sat quietly with his head down. He had originally planned to go to his sister-in-law’s house for a meal after this, but didn’t expect such a thing to happen.

This eldest sister was usually unreliable and now she had done something outrageous. She really thought her mother would shield her from any trouble she caused; and this time, she had gone so far as to get pregnant and create a life.

What’s more, the other party was that unreliable cousin. If he intervened, he could find the cousin, but looking at his mother and sister’s attitude, they didn’t want to find him at all, just wanted to get rid of the child. It’s ridiculous that they even thought of such a lousy idea, wanting the elder brother to clean up the mess. He always had this feeling, when his elder brother looked at their mom, there was a murderous urge.

He knew his elder brother would never clean up her mess, and besides, they were dreaming, thinking the sister-in-law would take the blame for her indiscretion. Considering how protective his elder brother was of his wife, how could it be possible?

Moreover, the sister-in-law he considered like a fairy didn’t match the situation of being unmarried and pregnant at all. It just wasn’t in line with her character.

Zhang Yang had already said many things without knowing better, irritating everyone, complaining about his sister’s indiscretions, about his sister-in-law not helping, and about how their mom could have such a family.

He threatened to kill that unreliable cousin to avenge his sister.

He just didn’t think if his sister hadn’t done excessive things, would people have taken advantage of her?

"Enough! Go back! From now on, Tingting will stay here, and after the child is born, it will be sent to an orphanage! This matter must not be leaked!" The old man finally spoke.

Hearing the old man’s decision, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, especially Lin Cuifen, who exhaled heavily. Fortunately, the old man didn’t wash his hands of this and didn’t cause trouble for her family.

The arm can’t twist the leg. If the old man insisted on having her family give an account, what would she do caught in the middle?

At this moment, in her heart, her daughter was a member of the Zhang Family, with only her family on her side.

"Grandpa, I’ve decided, I’m not going to give birth to this child! I’m going to have it aborted! Since sister-in-law won’t raise it for me, it’ll just be a stumbling block to me after it’s born! I’d rather abort it! Otherwise, how can I get married in the future? Besides," Zhang Ting reclined on the sofa, no longer fearing the old man at all, figuring that since she had the child, if the old man hit her and she miscarried, that would be his responsibility, "even if this child is sent to an orphanage, what if it comes back someday? It’s a ticking time bomb!"

As soon as Zhang Ting finished speaking, Lin Cuifen nodded along. She also felt that if that bitch Lin Xue didn’t agree to her plan, the child shouldn’t be born as it would ruin her daughter’s future.

"Nonsense!" The old man could no longer hold back his anger, which had been simmering all night, and it flared up.

"Grandpa, I’m not wrong! Surely, I can’t let the family fall into discord because of this child, can I? After aborting this one, there’ll be others! What’s the big deal?" Zhang Ting raised her chin and said unconcernedly.

The old man was trembling with rage, "Do you think aborting a child is as simple as taking a crap? It could easily lead to human life being lost!"

So angry he couldn’t just talk to his granddaughter anymore, even resorting to foul language.

"Sister-in-law Kang, Sister-in-law Kang! Quickly, take Tingting back to arrange a room! Send a couple of people to watch her!" The old lady hurriedly patted the old man on the back and called Kang Chunmei.

"Grandma! You can’t imprison me! I won’t have this child, I want it aborted! I want it aborted!" Zhang Ting stood up in rebellion.

The old lady couldn’t be bothered with her, helping the old man to sit down, "Don’t worry about it! Leave it to me to handle! Don’t get angry, watch your health!" Having been together for so many years, they could easily understand each other’s worries, and the old man was worried about his granddaughter’s safety, fearing inadequate medical technology could harm her.

"Tingting! Listen to Grandpa and Grandma, Dad will send the child far away then, no chance for it to find you! Be good now, go back to the room with Sister-in-law Kang and rest!" Zhang Haijun was furious, but he knew he couldn’t confront his emotionally unstable daughter forcefully; he could only coax her.

"Mom... Mom, save me! I don’t want to have it! I don’t want to have it!" Zhang Ting pleaded to her mom.

"Good girl, Mom will find a way..." Lin Cuifen yelled as she watched her daughter being taken away.

"Get out, all of you get out!" The old lady shouted angrily.

But in less than two days, Sister-in-law Kang couldn’t find Zhang Ting anywhere, so she anxiously went to find the old lady.

They sent people to search, but still couldn’t find her. Finally, the old lady directly went to Zhang Haijun’s house.

During the New Year’s celebration, only Zhang Haijun was home; Zhang Yu had once again slipped away to Lin Daliang’s house, while Lin Cuifen took Zhang Yang to send Zhang Ting to a small clinic for an abortion.

They received the news while arranging for a blood transfusion for Zhang Ting, bringing Zhang Yu and Zhang Yang in as well.

Something went wrong during the abortion, leading to massive bleeding, and Lin Cuifen was already so anxious that she didn’t know what to do.

Zhang Haijun went up and slapped her to the ground, leaving her with a bleeding lip, sitting dazedly on the floor.

Three sons all went in for the blood transfusion, and by the time the old man got there, she had been stabilized, and he urgently had her taken to a large hospital.

But still, nothing could be done, and her uterus had to be removed, meaning she could never be a mother again.

Upon receiving this news, the old lady nearly fainted, and Lin Xue quickly stepped forward to support her, trembling all over.

It wasn’t that she didn’t care, but she was just angry at Lin Cuifen’s actions. That was her only son’s daughter, how could she not care?

Lin Cuifen, held by Zhang Yu, looked at the operating room in a daze without focus.

She didn’t even know how to tell her daughter upon waking.

Suddenly, she seemed to wake up as if from a sudden epiphany, freeing herself from Zhang Yu’s support and running towards Lin Xue, viciously saying, "It’s all your fault! If you had agreed to raise the child for Tingting, she wouldn’t be in this situation now! You ruined Tingting! Give me back Tingting’s uterus! Give me back Tingting... Ah!" Before she could finish, the old lady, trembling with anger, slapped her hard, "You venomous woman, a menace to the family! Our Zhang Family can’t keep you any longer! Haijun! Send this venomous woman back in the future! If we keep her, she’ll ruin our entire Zhang Family!"
