Zhou Xingwang had an injury on his head. He had used up all his strength to say those words just now. He had to cheer up to listen to others. For a while, he only felt that his head was buzzing, and the world was spinning in front of his eyes. He closed his eyes
I rolled my eyes and planned to take a rest for a while.
But Chu Yunli didn't let him go: "You know, don't appear in front of me again in the future. You know, there are rocks everywhere in the town. You are the father of the child after all. I don't want to smash the child's biological father on my back."
A dead reputation."
Zhou Xingwang: "..." What?
Smashed to death?
Is this woman crazy?
In the past many years, he had never found Lu Xiaoqing to be a hands-on person.
All I can say is that Jiaojiao was almost bullied this time, which really made her angry. Zhou Xingwang didn’t want to go looking for her, but if he didn’t go looking for her, what would he do for the rest of his life?
When husband and wife separate, most women are criticized by others, but men are not much better. If they don’t marry a wife from now on, they will also be laughed at. Especially when their husband and wife are different from others, he is a bride-in-law and is discarded.
.The Zhou family is still so poor, and they have to treat Zhou Guishu's injuries, and he doesn't know how much debt he will owe in the future. Under such circumstances, where can he get a wife?
Furthermore, after marrying Lu Xiaoqing and living a life without worries about food and clothing, he could no longer look down on others.
Zhou Xingwang suppressed his nausea as these thoughts flashed through his mind. When he opened his eyes again, his face was full of sincerity: "Xiaoqing, I really know I was wrong."
Chu Yunli turned around and left: "I came to visit you to see your jokes, not to feel sorry for you."
Zhou Xingwang: "..." It's over!
After being entangled for so long, he once again clearly realized that Lu Xiaoqing would never look back or reconcile with him.
How did it end up like this?
Seeing the person disappear in the yard, Zhou Xingwang leaned slumped on the pillow. He couldn't figure it out at that time. However, there was one thing he was sure of, that is, he was being held back by his family.
Chu Yunli took the doctor back to the town. The crowd of spectators gradually dispersed, but the Zhou family was not peaceful.
Zhou's mother had just known what was going on in Ear's house, and also knew about Lu Xiaoqing's attitude towards her son. In her opinion, Lu Xiaoqing just clung to every little thing.
Jiaojiao was not wronged. Guishu suffered a big loss and is still lying in bed. He will become a cripple in the future. The Zhou family spent all their savings and paid the price. What else can Lu Xiaoqing do?
?
She thought so and complained.
Zhou Xingwang was worried about his future. When he heard his mother still talking about Lu Xiaoqing's faults, he said angrily: "It's just that you have always disliked Xiaoqing and didn't want us to live a good life. You also coveted the Lu family's money, so I fell into this trap."
To this point.”
There was a lot of blame behind the words.
Mother Zhou's eyes widened: "Xingwang, I'm doing this all for your own good."
Zhou Xingwang naturally refused to admit this: "You clearly did it for your eldest brother. You have driven my younger brother back to the Li family. In your eyes, besides eldest brother and his son, is there anyone else?"
Ten fingers have different lengths. It is difficult for Zhou's mother not to be partial when she has a son. She does not deny her own thoughts. When the old people in the village get older, they all look to their eldest son to provide for them. Zhou Xingwang has been naughty since he was a child, and the elder is a stick.
She can't even fart, but she hurts the boss. What's wrong?
"Stop arguing." Zhou's father had just been embarrassed. At this moment, he still felt his face was burning. Seeing the mother and son's voices getting louder and louder, he couldn't help scolding: "Aren't you afraid that you are not embarrassed enough?"
"You know how to save your face. You can control your mother as much as you want, but the family can't be like this." Zhou Xingwang said plausibly: "Zhou Guishu's leg has obviously been boned by a doctor, but he still has to go to the city for treatment, so why not
Sell the house, sell the land, sell the whole family, and only provide for him!"
"Which city are you going to? Not going!" Zhou's father made the final decision.
In fact, not only Zhou's father, but also the Zhou family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had never thought of selling the house and land to send Zhou Guishu to the city to find a doctor. Their plan had always been to let the Lu family provide the money.
However, Zhou Xingwang's head was broken, which made them fully understand how outrageous their previous plan was.
Lu Xiaoqing is not a good person and will never be willing to pay this amount of money.
With tears in her eyes, Mrs. Yang turned her head to look at the man beside her and complained in a tearful voice: "You still said that our parents love us the most. Look, my mother is obviously willing to send your book to the city. Now after listening to the first brother's words,
In one sentence, I suddenly changed my mind... What should I do with my precious book!"
Zhou Xingcai wants to cure his son's leg, but he is not obsessed with it. After all, if the eldest son is disabled, doesn't he still have a younger son?
Zhou Xingcai sighed: "I really can't find any money, and I can't really sell my house and my whole family will be homeless. This is your fate. People, sometimes you have to accept your fate."
"But our family obviously has one!" Ms. Yang was filled with grief and anger: "Lu Xiaoqing is his biological aunt, and she has not given birth to a son. The Lu family's shop should have been owned by Guishu. How can it be possible to manage such a big shop?"
Bad legs? In the final analysis, it’s because of Jiaojiao..."
Zhou Xingcai was simply fed up with the atmosphere at home these days. Every time he was alone with his wife, he talked about his son's legs. Seeing that his wife was crying again, he ran out of patience, turned around and walked out with a hoe.
Really, he would rather go to work in the mountains than listen to her crying at home.
After working for half an hour, Zhou Xingcai became even more annoyed and just a little tired. He placed the hoe on the ridge of the field and planned to sit down and rest for a while. Before he could take a deep breath, he saw a familiar figure coming from a distance. In an instant, he just
My somewhat calm mood suddenly became irritable again: "No matter what I do with you, I can't avoid you even when I go out to work. It's endless, right?"
Seeing the impatience on the man's face, Yang pursed her lips, moved closer, looked around carefully, made sure there was no one around, and whispered: "I have an idea to save our son."
After all, Zhou Xingcai still loved his son. The reason why he gave up treating his son's leg was because he had to give up. Seeing his wife's eyes shining in front of him, he also became interested.
As the New Year was approaching, the weather was extremely cold, so Chu Yunli put on thick cotton-padded clothes for the whole family. Da Ya had just arrived and had nothing, so she also bought two new ones for her.
Da Ya has never worn new clothes at home since she was a child. The clothes on her upper body are all left by her brother, or sent back when Jiaojiao can no longer wear them. She wears new clothes, and it gets in the way when she does things, for fear of being touched.
Dirty and damaged.
Chu Yunli couldn't help but laugh and cry, so he bought her two more clothes.
"Just wear it."
Da Ya's eyes widened: "Is it mine again?" She waved her hands hastily: "No, no, that's enough."
Chu Yunli said amusingly: "You are a big girl, you should dress nicer, so that when you meet the right person later, you can get married."
Daya lowered her head, and there were water stains on the ground that were blurred into dots. She sobbed a little, but felt that she shouldn't cry: "Aunt Qing, you are so good to me."
"What's there to cry about?" Chu Yunli wiped away her tears: "You are so hard-working. I just like hard-working people, so I bought it for you. Don't be polite to me."
Daya became more and more moved and threw herself into her arms and cried.
At the end of the year, every time at this time, married girls will return to their parents' homes. Lu's mother has been dead for many years, and because Lu's father has not remarried, Lu Xiaoqing will go to her uncle's house every year.
It's the same this year, but since Jiaojiao has grown older and is looking for a new wife, Chu Yunli mentioned someone before, but Chu Yunli thought it was not suitable, so she rejected him.
Jiaojiao herself didn't want to. She was really afraid of her relatives there, so she took the initiative to stay and look at the house.
Chu Yunli and Lu's father went there. The weather was colder and the days were shorter. They had two meals a day and ate later in the afternoon. Aunt Lu Xiaoqing also felt that the marriage was not going to work and was afraid that the Lu family would not get close to each other anymore.
At home, I killed chickens and steamed snacks, and made a lot of delicious food. After working for a long time, it was almost dark, and then I put the food on the table. I also took out the wine and insisted that Father Lu drink it.
One cup.
By the time the meal was finished, it was no longer visible outside. They wanted one of them to stay overnight, but when the father and daughter refused and went out, it was already dark outside.
Fortunately, the two families were not far apart. It only took about a quarter of an hour to walk. Everyone had torches. If you walked more slowly at night, you could still get home.
Because Lu's father drank a little too much, Chu Yunli supported him all the way and walked slower than usual. After half an hour, he arrived at the door of Lu's house.
Chu Yunli was sweating all the way. She raised her hand to knock on the door. Suddenly she felt something was wrong, and the door panel opened with a slight push.
This is unreasonable. People from various villages come to the town from time to time, and people come and go on the road. Therefore, even during the day, the doors are closed, not to mention it is night, how can the door not be bolted?
There were only two eldest girls left in the house. Chu Yunli was shocked. She left Father Lu and ran into the yard. With the torch in her hand, she could vaguely see a slender figure lying in the middle. The material for her clothes was chosen by her herself.
The person was lying on the cold ground unconscious, and neither of them let her move at all when they entered the door. Chu Yunli quickly stepped forward and bent down to shout: "Da Ya!"
Turning her over, under the light of the torch, Chu Yunli seemed to smell the strong smell of blood, and saw that her little face was covered in dark red, with blood almost covering her entire face.
Seeing this, Chu Yunli hurriedly put his hand on the end of her nose. He noticed that there was still a faint breath, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
Behind him, Father Lu had realized something was wrong, and came forward with a torch. Seeing this situation, he stumbled into several rooms: "Jiaojiao!"
He kept calling, first looking for his granddaughter's house, then the kitchen, and finally his own house, but saw no one from the beginning to the end.
When Chu Yunli saw Da Ya's situation on the ground, she guessed that Jiaojiao was either injured or had been taken away. She stood up suddenly, followed her around, and returned to the yard to pick up Da Ya.
Only after hugging her did she realize that the reason why there was such a strong smell of blood was that in addition to the wounds on her head, Da Ya also received two stab wounds on her waist and abdomen, and she lost a lot of blood. That is because the sky was too dark, and the
The blood was solidified on his clothes, so he wasn't noticed.
It was too dark to see Da Ya's face clearly, but I knew it was ugly. Father Lu had already been frightened out of his drunken state and wanted to step forward to help.
Chu Yunli gave in: "The girl's family is older, I'll come."
Father Lu was also anxious. Hearing this, he slapped his forehead and picked up the torch on the ground: "Let's go!"
There were several doctors in the town. Chu Yunli sent Daya to one of them who she thought had good character and medical skills, and then quickly ran towards the Zhou family.
Behind him, Father Lu followed closely.
Chu Yunli didn't stop her. Father Lu was both her father and her grandfather. Even if she asked him to stay, he would never listen.
When he heard that his daughter had found a bullock cart and was going to Zhou's house, Father Lu hesitated: "Who did you hear that from?"
The father and daughter had not been separated today, and no one mentioned that the Zhou family had kidnapped anyone from beginning to end. Chu Yunli snorted coldly: "There will be no one else except them."
On this New Year's Eve, Chu Yunli had to pay some extra money to persuade the bullock cart to give them a ride, but they returned as soon as they were delivered. They didn't wait for them.
Chu Yunli could understand this. When the father and daughter went in, there were still guests there.
When they arrived at the entrance of Taohua Village, the father and daughter got off the oxcart. Chu Yunli walked directly to Zhou's house without stopping.
When strangers came, the dogs in the village barked loudly. Some people came out to look, but only saw two black figures. Nowadays, it is when families visit relatives and friends, and it is normal to see strangers. Therefore,
When the father and daughter arrived at Zhou's house, no one was watching.
Chu Yunli kicked the door open with one kick.
The candles were burning in the main room of the Zhou family. Chu Yunli ran straight in and saw Zhou Xingwang with a cloth on his forehead. She was so angry that she rounded the stick in her hand and threw it away.
When Zhou Xingwang saw her appearance, he was overjoyed. He thought that there was a turning point between the couple, but before he could even say hello, he was hit with a stick.
"Xiaoqing, are you crazy?"
Chu Yunli's eyes fell coldly on Yang, who was obviously unnatural: "Where is Jiaojiao?"
Yang was dumbfounded: "Your daughter...I haven't seen her!"
She also planned to send another message tomorrow and ask for money again, which would make the Lu family anxious and pay the money more easily.
It was Zhou Xingcai who stood up: "I saw Jiaojiao, but you were so tough on our family before, unless it means that our two families have no relationship. I don't want to help in vain. So, if you give me ten taels of silver, I will tell you
Jiaojiao’s whereabouts.”
"How courageous!" Chu Yunli sneered twice. What the eldest couple of the Zhou family did was really beyond her expectation. She thought that this person was just greedy and Zhou Guishu was the one who was ignorant, so that was why Lu Lu was created.
The tragedy of family.
Thinking about it, if the couple were not vicious people, they would not be able to raise a bastard like Zhou Guishu.
She rushed forward, grabbed Zhou Guishu, and hit him on the leg with a stick.
Only a "click" was heard, followed by Zhou Guishu's scream.
Everyone who saw Zhou Guishu's broken leg was familiar with the sound. After reacting, their expressions suddenly changed. Yang Shi even rushed forward and cried loudly.
"Lu Xiaoqing, you lunatic!"
Chu Yunli's eyes were sharp: "If you don't hand over my daughter, I will break his neck."
Yang screamed: "Zhou Xingcai, are you a dead person? Your son and wife are being bullied!"
Zhou Xingcai gritted his teeth, clenched his fist and smashed it over.
Lu's father quickly stepped forward to stop him. He often worked in teahouses and had little strength. Naturally, he was no match for Zhou Xingcai, who had been working in the village. He tried to get in front of him, but he couldn't get any favors. He even got a blow on the head. Suddenly, his head was bleeding.
flow.
Zhou Xingcai turned around and said fiercely: "Lu Xiaoqing, you come here to find trouble again and again. We thought we had done something wrong and endured it. But this does not mean that you can do whatever you want. Today I am going to teach you a lesson...ah..."
The last sound was a scream.
Chu Yunli lifted the table and poured the pot of soup over.
Lifting the table is not a trivial matter in a farm family. She is a junior. Father Zhou, who was originally confused, became really angry: "Lu Xiaoqing, you are too much!"
Everyone in the room stood up, and Chu Yunli confronted them alone. His eyes swept across everyone: "I want to see Jiaojiao. Otherwise, you all will die! Anyway, it's a good deal for me to trade so many people with one life!"
She took out a kitchen knife from behind, the blade gleaming with cold light, and pointed it at everyone.
The atmosphere was stagnant, and Zhou's mother was frightened: "Xiaoqing, if you have something to say, please tell me."
"My daughter is gone, so I can't talk properly." Chu Yunli stepped forward, quickly stepped over Zhou Guishu, who was holding his leg and crying out in pain, grabbed Zhou Xingcai, and put the blade on his neck: "Where's Jiaojiao?
?”
Zhou Xingcai didn't dare to move and looked nervously at the knife in front of him: "I told you, take ten taels of silver..."
Chu Yun's pear knife had already embedded itself in his flesh, and Zhou Xingcai was so frightened that he immediately stopped talking.
"Do you want your life or your money?"
Yang bit her lip and said nothing.
Layers of cold sweat broke out on Zhou Xingcai's forehead.
Chu Yunli urged: "I don't have much patience. If you don't tell me after the count is over, don't blame me for being ruthless!... One... one..."
"I said!" Zhou Xingcai's voice trembled. It was not that he was afraid of a woman, but that this woman's rough movements and sinister tone were really scary. No one dared not believe what she said.
Mrs. Yang cried loudly: "Zhou Xingcai, our son's leg is broken again. This time the cost will be even greater!"
Zhou Xingcai was furious: "I listened to you, so we ended up in this situation. If your idea hadn't angered this madman, my son's legs would not have been broken!" He tilted his head: "Lu Xiaoqing
, Jiaojiao was sent to Jigong Mountain, and I placed her in the cave. I will take you to find her early tomorrow morning!"
When Father Lu heard this, his eyes went dark.
He has lived in the town for many years, so he has naturally heard of Jigong Mountain. The place is very high, and the snow melts half a month later than at the bottom of the mountain. He also knows how cold it will be. In this cold winter, Jiaojiao is a
It's not certain whether a person can survive in a cave.
"You...you..." Father Lu covered his forehead and trembled with anger: "You are simply not human! Jiaojiao is half of the Zhou family's blood!"
He turned around and left: "Xiaoqing, I'm going to prepare the torch. You hold him, let's leave now."
Chu Yunli narrowed her eyes: "Did you light a fire for my daughter?"
Zhou Xingcai's eyes dodge.
Chu Yunli was so angry that she slashed him on the back.
Zhou Xingcai screamed, and Yang screamed: "Don't do it, he is still taking you to climb the mountain."
Chu Yunli's eyes fell over.
The next moment, Yang felt as if she was being targeted by a wild beast, with goosebumps all over her body. She gritted her teeth and said, "If you are willing to help, I won't..."
"Is it my fault that we co-operated?" Chu Yunli stepped forward and grabbed her, slapped him on the face several times, then pushed him out of the door and kicked him several times.
During this period, the Zhou family wanted to come forward, but Chu Yunli turned back and shouted: "I am easy to kill when I am angry!"
Even if this man is a hundred years old, he still doesn't want to die. The couple were frightened, and Zhou's father coughed lightly and advised: "Xiaoqing, we and I don't know about this matter, otherwise we will definitely stop it. Calm down,
Don't kill anyone. I know that you have always looked down on our Zhou family. It's not worth it to risk your life for someone you look down on, isn't it?"
"You forced me to do this." As Chu Yunli spoke, he kicked Yang on the ground again, causing him to roll out.
Yang didn't even have the strength to cry out the pain, and her face turned blue. She must have suffered internal injuries. The injuries were serious.
On the other side, Father Lu had already found a torch. Chu Yunli grabbed Zhou Xingcai and said coldly: "Don't follow me!"
How could the Zhou family not follow?
Lu Xiaoqing is acting like an irritable beast right now, and will eat people if he disagrees. What if he kills someone?
Going up the mountain in the middle of the night, you should find a few more people from the village to accompany you. But if the Zhou family did such a thing, how could they be embarrassed to let outsiders know?
So, the father and daughter of the Lu family walked in front with Zhou Xingcai, and Zhou's father followed with his son. As for the remaining people... Yang and Zhou Guishu were both seriously injured and needed someone to stay with Zhou's mother to take care of them. Xiao Wu was still young.
I'm so scared that I can't use it at all.
Zhou Xingwang still had a wound on his forehead. Fortunately, he was no longer dizzy after a few days of recovery. However, it was still difficult for him to climb the mountain. He stumbled along the way. Not long after he left the village entrance, his whole body was already frozen.
Father Zhou looked at the people walking quickly in front of him and said, "I can't tell that Xiao Qing's temper is like this. You are the same, why didn't you beg for mercy just now? As a man, if he can't control his wife, he is like a waste
.”
week
, it is more important that you teach big brother a lesson and not let him take these crooked ways."
The more he talked, the angrier he became: "Xiaoqing and I were getting along well before, but it was because you made trouble among them that our husband and wife turned against each other. Now she refuses to even look at me. I would like to take care of it, but the Zhou family does this.
She’s not stupid, how could she listen to me?”
He was so excited that he failed to see the path under his feet, and fell to the ground again. The mountain road was too narrow, and he slipped down from the thorn bushes on the side of the path, leaving only a series of screams.
