"If she were a little more hot-tempered, she might just take a stick and beat the woman who seduced someone else's husband to death. Or she might go straight to the government office and report her, sending that shameless homewrecker who ruined another family to prison."
"Hmph, and you still think this is the old days? This is a new era now, and the law is fully established. Someone who destroys another person's family like this has to bear legal responsibility."
Though it might not actually be possible to press charges, Yang Yue'e would definitely become the target of public outrage and have a reputation that stank to high heaven.
By this point, Old Village Chief had no choice but to send someone to fetch Granny Li, who specialized in delivering babies in the village and knew how to treat some women's illnesses.
Everyone's eyes fell on Granny Li, who had hurried over and was now taking Yang Yue'e's pulse.
Only Su Qiao remained completely calm.
Two minutes later, Granny Li gave Yang Yue'e a strange look, then nodded slightly at Old Village Chief. "She's pregnant. It's been a little over three months."
The villagers erupted into an uproar.
"My heavens, she's really pregnant—and more than three months along."
"Yang Yue'e really has no shame. Her husband only died half a year ago, didn't he? And she's already carrying a baby that's over three months old."
"Exactly. She's shameless. How does she still have the nerve to go outside? She should at least have tried to keep it hidden."
"What I'm more curious about is who the child in her belly belongs to. Could it really be Su Youqing's?"
"I'd say there's an eighty or ninety percent chance it is. Could it belong to one of us instead? Heh."
