Chapter 702: Chapter 702: Nothing Must Happen!

"If it’s not my son, why should I give birth to him? Wouldn’t it be better to just let him die now? Or, after giving birth, I just strangle him to death. Zhou Liang, what do you think of that idea? Hmm?"

"You ——"

Zhou Liang never expected Liu Yushui to be so heartless.

What’s in her belly is her own flesh and blood, her own son to be given birth after ten months of pregnancy, she could actually utter words of wanting to strangle her own son.

"Don’t be impulsive, please don’t do something rash."

"Impulsive? Why would I be?"

Liu Yushui chuckled lightly, stroking her belly.

"Zhou Liang, tell your bitch of a mother that if she wants this child for your family, bring me five hundred taels of silver now, I want to see the silver by tomorrow, or else, without taking any abortion potion, just by bumping my belly against the corner of the table, this child might be gone!"

"You ..."

Zhou Liang opened his mouth, but could say nothing.

He would have never dreamt of his seemingly good idea spiraling out of control, causing Liu Yushui to turn against him and even threatening not to want the child in her belly anymore.

"Yushui, five hundred taels of silver is really too much, how can my family manage that in such short notice?"

They don’t do business, where would they get so much cash? Even if they sell his mother’s dowry, it’ll take some time. How can he get that amount by tomorrow?

"If your family cannot afford it, can’t the county office pay?" Liu Yushui retorted.

"My son, is he something to be given away for free? This despicable woman wants to claim my child as her own, shouldn’t she give some silver for it?"

Anyway, she’s set on having those five hundred taels of silver!

She even feels it’s too little. She’s planning to leave Ya Village with her son in future. A newly-born requires so many things and she has to stay by him every day.

Even though she hasn’t given birth before, she has seen others raise their children.

One needs money for everything!

"What about the day after tomorrow? I’ll bring the silver the day after tomorrow, how does that sound?" Zhou Liang thought for a moment, thinking this deal is plausible.

In the past, he even thought it wouldn’t be bad for Liu Yushui to stay with him. However, seeing Liu Yushui biting him like a madwoman today made him realize, this woman is truly terrifying.

There are plenty of gentle women in the county. He’s never worried about not finding a woman who can bear his children. 500 taels of silver for a marital alliance with the county office, it’s worth it.

However, he naturally did not dare to ask the county office for this amount, he could only stall, and hope his mother brings out the money soon .

"Fine, the day after tomorrow it is!"

Liu Yushui nodded, she could wait one more day.

"Then... then I’ll go first."

Zhou Liang didn’t dare to delay any further, he was ready to leave and return home to discuss this matter with his mother.

"Zhou Liang, if I don’t see the silver the day after tomorrow, you can find someone else to bear your child."

Just when he was about to leave, he heard Liu Yushui’s cold reminder. He halted, unable to believe what he just heard.

"You——"

He thought, if he couldn’t gather the silver the day after tomorrow, he could stall for a few more days. He didn’t expect Liu Yushui to be so unfeeling!

"Okay, the day after tomorrow it is. I’ll bring the silver then. Remember, nothing can happen to my son!" he gritted his teeth and addressed Liu Yushui.
