Chapter 392: Chapter 392: Seeking Death_1

Shi Xiaolan had given birth only nine days ago and was still in her confinement period; how could she possibly have gone out to find them? And with the newborn Niuniu in her arms?

Upon hearing this, An Jing and Xiao Changyi immediately felt something was wrong and hurriedly turned around to look for Shi Xiaolan.

In the end, An Jing and Xiao Changyi found Shi Xiaolan by the riverbank. Shi Xiaolan was already stepping into the river, ready to throw herself along with Niuniu into the water to commit suicide. Fortunately, An Jing arrived in time, grabbed her, and forcefully dragged her back to shore.

Shi Xiaolan was dragged onto the shore, at first with a vacant look in her eyes, like a walking corpse, but as soon as she recognized that it was An Jing, she immediately began to cry and said, "An Jing, just let me and Niuniu die... sob..."

"Why on earth would you seek death like this?" An Jing was genuinely angry about Shi Xiaolan’s attempt to take her own life with her child.

While Shi Xiaolan was still crying, she also explained the reason: "Today, Fu Zi’s parents brought him to propose to a girl’s family, and they will marry her in two months..."

An Jing was stunned. Immediately after, she became furious!

Her friend had just given birth a few days ago, and An Fu’s family had already found a girl willing to become the concubine? And they even went to propose today? In such a hurry... they must be crazed with the desire for a successor!

Shi Xiaolan continued crying and said, "Yu Yu is alright, Fu Zi and my in-laws treat her quite well, but my poor Niuniu, from her birth until now, my in-laws have never once held her... Fu Zi only held her twice... An Jing, I really don’t want to live anymore, I feel so miserable... Niuniu is also the child I carried for ten months, my heart aches. Seeing them like this, I’d rather that Niuniu had never come into this world..."

"Let’s go talk at my place."

This was still near the river; if Shi Xiaolan were to become distraught and run into the river, it could be disastrous. So, An Jing swiftly took Niuniu from Shi Xiaolan’s arms and handed her to Xiao Changyi to hold, and then she took Shi Xiaolan to their home.

Shi Xiaolan continued to cry.

As soon as An Jing sat down on the bamboo chair, she took Niuniu from Xiao Changyi’s arms to hold her herself and then said to Shi Xiaolan, "Don’t worry about how they treat Niuniu, you said it yourself, Niuniu is the child you carried for ten months, how could you bear to let her die? She has just come into this world, she’s a little life, how could your heart be so hard?"

Shi Xiaolan cried and said, "Niuniu is my child, of course I can’t bear the thought of letting her die like that, but I also can’t ignore how they are treating Niuniu... My pregnancy symptoms made everyone think this baby was going to be a boy, and when a girl was born instead, it led to their dislike for Niuniu... sob..."

Still indignant, An Jing said, "What’s the matter with your in-laws? I thought they were good people at first, how can they be so inconsiderate of your feelings now, so eager to get Brother An Fu remarried, it’s just—"

Before An Jing could finish, Shi Xiaolan started speaking in defense of Yun Dame and the others, "It’s not their fault; it’s just that my belly hasn’t been competitive. They had the intention of getting Fu Zi remarried last year, but since I was pregnant, they postponed it until now. They’ve actually been quite decent to me. And yesterday, they talked to me, saying that even if they take a concubine, they will treat me as they always have and told me not to worry. They just want a grandson, someone to carry on the family name. It’s just that I pity Niuniu, I don’t want her to leave this world alone, so I thought of joining her, so she wouldn’t suffer at home..."
