Li Qiang's moody interrogation attitude has always been unpredictable. After he threw the money on the table, the men next to him also let go of the little boy and let him return to Ma Hui's arms. This behavior did not faze Zhou Xu.

The couple feels relaxed, but even more stressed.

"Wow!"

Li Qiang pulled out the pistol from his waist, pulled the slide skillfully, and pointed the gun at Zhou Xu's family of three. The corners of his mouth raised slightly: "Did you hear the crisp sound of loading? Next, I just need to move my fingers gently.

, can turn your family of three into a pile of rotten meat! You have seen the power of firearms, right?"

"Hoo ho!"

The three members of Zhou Xu's family were breathing rapidly and hugging each other tightly. Although the temperature in the room was freezing, cold sweat was streaming down the faces of the three members of the family.

"Life and death, poverty and wealth, in my opinion, are not difficult choices to make!" Li Qiang put the gun next to a stack of money on the table: "Now, I give you a chance to choose!"

Under the huge psychological pressure, Ma Hui's spirit was about to collapse. She looked up at Li Qiang blankly: "Sir! If I say something to you, can you guarantee that we will survive and really give the money to you?"

Us?"

Zhou Xu heard Ma Hui's question and suddenly roared: "Ma Hui! What the hell are you doing! Are you crazy?! We don't know anything! What nonsense are you talking about!"

"Bang!"

The plainclothesman next to him saw Zhou Xu's excitement, kicked him to the ground, and then punched him.

Seeing the actions of the plainclothes, Ma Hui shouted at Li Qiang: "Stop fighting! Stop fighting! If you want me to say something! Don't touch my family again!"

"Shut him up!" Li Qiang asked his men to cover Zhou Xu's mouth with a quilt, and showed a smile to Ma Hui amidst his muffled groans: "I can promise you that as long as you tell me what I want to know,

If you tell me, all the conditions I just made will count!"

"I really don't know where Ning Zhe went, but he came to see me before he left! He asked me to hand over the factory duty schedule to the guard post regularly. In return, he would give me his daily rations!" Ma

Hui looked at the cash and pistols on the table and answered blankly.

At this moment, even Ma Hui didn't know whether she chose to compromise because of fear of death or because of the temptation of interests. But she knew very well that what Li Qiang just said was right. With this money, their family could...

She can definitely spend this winter easily. Ma Hui doesn't understand why Zhou Xu would rather sacrifice the lives of his family to save Ning Zhe. She only knows that if they can get the money, they can leave this pigsty.

For the same shack, if you buy an adobe or even brick house, you can light a brazier when it's cold and fill your stomach when you're hungry.

Seeing that Ma Hui had already begun to answer his question, Li Qiang did not rush to ask more questions. Instead, he calmed down his tone and restrained his sharpness: "If you think about it again, besides these, what else did Ning Zhe say to you?"

"He told me that if I encounter any problems, I can go to the graveyard to the east of the market town to find him when the sun goes down, and someone will help me!" Ma Hui had already chosen to cooperate, so she did not continue to hide it: "At that time, Ning Zhe just said

You told me so much, but you didn’t tell me who the person you met was!”

Li Qiang heard Ma Hui's response, turned off the safety of the pistol and put it away: "You should know what will happen if you cheat on me, right?"

Ma Hui shook her head without hesitation and said very seriously: "Sir! I would never dare to lie to you! You have also seen the situation in my family. If we leave the market town, we will not be able to survive at all! So I know the price of lying!"

Li Qiang glanced at the mechanical watch on his wrist and thought for a moment: "Before the bell rings at four o'clock tomorrow afternoon, you go to the grocery store in the east city gate and show yourself, and my people will pretend to ask you for directions.

, you go to the mass graves and meet them the way Ning Zhe told you!"

After listening to Li Qiang's words, Ma Hui nodded hurriedly: "Sir, what should I say to him?"

"Whatever, you can talk about what happened in the neighborhood recently, or you can make something up. In short, just don't let anyone see any flaws. My people will be guarding your house tonight. Don't even think about running away, otherwise you will

He died miserably!" Li Qiang said with cold eyes, and then left the dilapidated shack of Zhou Xu's family with two of his men.

"Ma Hui! Why are you doing this!" Zhou Xu lay on the ground, his eyes dimmed, and his whole body seemed to have been drained of energy. He asked in a hoarse voice: "Over the years, Xiaozhe has helped us so much.

Duo! Why did you betray him?"

"Zhou Xu! You only think about how much others have helped you! Have you never thought about how much I have contributed to this family? Don't forget! I am just a woman! I also know how tired I am!

I know I’m tired! I don’t ask you to bring much contribution to this family! I just ask that the three of us can live in peace and stability! I can bear the grievances and sufferings to guard this family! I can bear the ridicule of others and guard you.

A disabled life! But you want me to protect Ning Zhe with my life, I'm sorry! I can't do it!" Ma Hui's tone was equally calm, and she picked up the banknotes scattered on the ground expressionlessly: "If refugees want to live, they themselves

It’s very difficult. I don’t mind helping others, but this kind of help must be based on our ability! As you can see, our family’s conditions are the worst on this street! Since I married

I can choose to accompany you to endure hardship! But I can’t let our child continue to suffer! I just want to seize a chance and give him a good life! I don’t ask him to live a decent life, I only ask him to

No need to struggle on the edge of starving to death every day! I don’t want to die, and I don’t think it’s wrong to want to live!”

Zhou Xu heard Ma Hui's words and looked down at his empty legs. He was speechless for a long time. The child on the side was covering the wound on his arm. He had not recovered from the shock just now and was depressed again at this moment.

The atmosphere was such that I dared not make a sound.

Zhou Xu felt that he was not wrong. Ning Zhe had helped him for so many years and extended a helping hand to him countless times. Even if he could not repay anything, he could not harm Ning Zhe.

Ma Hui also felt that she was right. She just didn't want to watch her husband and son die. She just wanted to seize a chance to live and make her family live a better life.

Since they all think they are right, who is wrong?

Maybe none of them are right, just as Ning Zhe said to Lin Xun, in this era, if you want to be a good person, you have to withstand the backlash caused by kindness, and you have to pay the price for it.

Zhou Xu died, quietly.

He chose to hang himself on the support of the shack late at night with a hemp rope. Because he had no legs, it was difficult for him to hang himself, and his death was also very funny.

He couldn't accept Ma Hui's betrayal of Ning Zhe, couldn't face his own heart, didn't want to be a burden to his family anymore, didn't want his wife and children to be laughed at for having a disabled husband and father, and was even more afraid of hearing others say that he was a cripple in the future.

Ungrateful scum.
