"Mom, what did Xiao Feng do? You have to tell me the truth so I can help him." Yi Xiaoli felt that this time, Xiao Feng's situation was serious.
Xiao Feng got involved with someone, and in a moment of weakness, they were caught by her brother. That brother was the girl's sibling. Yi Xiaoli's mother pulled her aside and whispered.
Yi Xiaoli never imagined that this was the reason. How could Xiao Feng, so young, make such a mistake?
It was only right to compensate the girl since they had bullied her.
Now Yi Xiaoli had nothing to say, but she truly didn’t have a hundred yuan.
"Mom, since it happened, compensation is necessary, but I really don’t have a hundred yuan," Yi Xiaoli said.
"Xiao Li, you need to think of a way! I know a hundred yuan is difficult for you, but I had no choice but to come to you," her mother urged.
"You know the situation at home; your father's salary barely covers our expenses. There’s no extra money at all."
"How much money do you have at home? If it’s not enough, can you borrow some from your in-laws?"
"Right! Isn’t your sister-in-law’s husband quite wealthy? Can you ask her for some?" Yi Xiaoli's mother suggested.
"No, I can't borrow money from my in-laws or my sister-in-law. I can’t let them know I'm giving you money; otherwise, they will definitely stir up trouble and prevent me from helping you," Yi Xiaoli firmly refused.
"What should we do then? Xiao Li, think of something!" Her mother began to cry again.
"Sigh, Mom, please stop crying. I'll think of a way," Yi Xiaoli was exasperated by her mother's tears.
Every time Yi Xiaoli faced her mother, if anything went wrong, she would cry until Yi Xiaoli complied with her wishes.
Finally, Yi Xiaoli went home and took out all four hundred and thirty yuan from her savings account. She borrowed seventy yuan from a close friend at work to make up the hundred yuan and gave it to those three people to settle the matter.
Originally, that should have been the end of it.
Although she lost some money, at least the baby in Yi Xiaoli's belly was safe and sound.
However, two days later in the afternoon, things took a turn. Since Ye Ting usually stayed at Yi Xiaoli's family home, after work she went there as usual to pick up the child.
As she reached the wall outside her family’s courtyard, she saw that same troublemaker who had come to their house for money beating someone up. A seventeen-year-old girl stood nearby watching.
Yi Xiaoli glanced over and was about to walk away; after all, she didn’t know these people, and it was better to avoid trouble. Besides, she was pregnant, so the further she stayed from a fight, the better.
Just as she was about to pass by them, she overheard one of the thugs say, "Yi Xiaofeng, you fool! Chunli is my woman. Only you would be stupid enough to believe she loves you. What does a girl like her see in a kid like you?"
After saying that, he laughed heartily while wrapping his arm around the girl next to him.
Hearing her brother's name made Yi Xiaoli stop and take a closer look. The one being beaten wasn’t anyone else but her brother, Yi Xiaofeng.
Seeing her brother getting hurt, Yi Xiaoli couldn’t just stand by; she rushed over, shouting loudly to stop them while pushing towards the thug.
The thug wasn’t a good person to begin with; he didn’t care if she was pregnant. He shoved Yi Xiaoli down to the ground with one swift motion.
A pregnant woman could hardly withstand such force. "Ah, my stomach hurts!" Yi Xiaoli cried out as she fell, clutching her belly.
"What's with the act? Let me tell you, there’s no way you’re getting anything from me!" The thug noticed the blood pooling beneath Yi Xiaoli and hurriedly shouted something before dragging the girl away with him.
"Xiaofeng, go get help! My baby..." Yi Xiaoli struggled to speak through the pain.
