Liu Xing couldn't hide his nervousness and explained: "Although the director said to think about it again, he... seems to have been persuaded by Zhen Zhen. I came here to tell you so that you can be mentally prepared."
He kept a low profile at the newspaper office and couldn't speak at all. Also, Deputy Director Zhen was present, so it was difficult for him to directly confront her.
"Don't worry, I will go back to finalize the draft later. When she is no longer in the director's office, I will definitely go to you to intercede."
Xue Ling smiled and shook his head.
"No, thank you!"
Seeing that she calmed down quickly, Liu Xing thought she had given up so quickly, so he couldn't help but persuade her: "No! Is it possible that you have a better place to go? This small column doesn't have much content, so it's quite easy for you to do this job."
of!"
Xue Ling explained: "I can do it! The newspaper office is very good, and I have been getting along well with you for the past six months. However, the concerns of the directors and others are not unreasonable. My column is indeed very small, and hiring me as an editor is indeed a bit disadvantageous.
.”
Liu Xing muttered: "You can't say that! In our area, except for one university in the provincial capital that has an English major, there is no other place at all. It's not easy to recruit talents like you!"
"Haha..." Xue Ling was a little embarrassed and whispered: "It's just a specialization in the art, it's nothing. Thank you for telling me in advance, I have a good idea, and it will be easy to advance or retreat when the time comes."
Liu Xing stopped and frowned: "I know you are not worried about not being able to find a job. For a rare talent like you, there must be many units vying for you. But Wang Qing and I will be reluctant to part with you as a good colleague."
Xue Ling smiled and said: "I can't bear to leave you either. It's okay. If the newspaper wants to fire me, then we won't be good friends, but just colleagues!"
Liu Xing smiled softly and said: "That's okay! Anyway, your husband is here in the county. If you marry a chicken or a dog, you will definitely have to stay here. We still have a chance to be good friends."
"Thank you!" Xue Ling pushed the bicycle forward and said, "I'm going back first. Find me on Songming Road when you have time. I'll go back to the capital to bring you gifts during the Chinese New Year. Just wait!"
Liu Xing waved and watched her pedal away on her bicycle, then turned around and quickly reported back to the club.
Xue Ling returned to the rental house with the New Year's goods and shouted: "Mom!"
Liu Ying said "Hey!" and quickly walked out to help open the door.
"Hey! Lingling, why did you buy so many things again? There are still a lot of vegetables and flour at home!"
Xue Ling chuckled and said, "It's the New Year's goods distributed by the newspaper. I'm on vacation today, and my work unit gave everyone some bonuses and New Year's goods. They were not bought with money."
The New Year's goods behind the car were too heavy to push the bicycle into the house. She parked the car in the yard and fumbled to untie the rope.
"So much! This is... great!" Liu Ying smiled from ear to ear and quickly helped to untie the rope.
Xue Ling explained with a smile: "This is the employee benefit of most units. Many units provide it, some are more and some are less."
At this time, the iron door next door opened with a bang!
Both mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were startled. Xun Sheng turned around and saw Ouyang Mei with a rope wrapped around her body, her hands tied to her belly, a cloth stuffed in her mouth, her hair messy, and her eyes red.
.
She kept twisting her body, staring at them with her eyes wide open, and making squeaking noises.
Liu Ying said "Oh!" and turned around.
"Girl - you - what's wrong with you?"
Xue Ling frowned, quickly threw away the rope in his hand, rushed out of the yard and went straight to the next door.
The gates of the two courtyards were exactly the same. They could only be pulled but could not be locked. Xue Ling opened them with ease and rushed over, first helping Ouyang Mei pull off the cloth from her mouth.
Ouyang Mei gasped, couldn't help but swallow her saliva, and then started to cry.
"...sister-in-law...save me...please save me quickly!"
At this time, Liu Ying also hurried over.
Ouyang Mei, like a dying person grasping at straws, hissed: "Aunt! Help me! Help me quickly! Please!"
Xue Ling was checking nervously while shouting: "Mom, go to the kitchen to get scissors! Go quickly! These are all dead ends!"
Liu Ying panicked, nodded "Oh," and quickly turned around and ran back.
Soon, the scissors came.
Xue Ling cut quickly and quickly pulled off all the ropes on Ouyang Mei's body.
Ouyang Mei cried so hard that her whole body trembled. She hugged Liu Ying's arm and was so scared that she could not speak incoherently.
"Aunt...save me! My brother is so cruel! I won't marry! I won't marry that damn fat man! He kidnapped me...I want to go home! Aunt...sister-in-law...save me!"
Liu Ying swallowed secretly, feeling frightened for a moment.
"What happened to you? Who kidnapped you? Is there a thief at home?"
Xue Ling glanced at her. Although he disliked her very much, he couldn't do anything to save her.
She turned around and ran back to her home, pouring a glass of warm water over.
Ouyang Mei might have been tied up for too long, so she took the water and drank it in two gulps.
Xue Ling said quietly: "If you have anything to say, please tell me. We may not be able to save you, but we may be able to help you think of a way."
Although Liu Ying didn't like Ouyang Mei either, she was honest and kind-hearted by nature. When she saw how pitiful she was, she immediately felt compassion for her.
"Yes, yes! What's wrong with you?"
After Ouyang Mei drank the water, she didn't look so excited, but her eyes [District 8 www.dibaquxsw.top] were full of fear.
"I...my brother found a marriage for me. The man...I don't like it. But my brother doesn't want to, and insists on me getting married. I want to go back to the country, and my brother is even more unwilling, saying that
The man is coming to make an engagement tomorrow. He was afraid that I would run away, so yesterday...yesterday he tied me up upstairs. I finally broke the door and ran downstairs. It took me a long time to open the door. Aunt, sister-in-law,
Please save me! I don’t want to marry! I don’t want to marry!”
Liu Ying was stunned and trembled: "You - how could your brother do this?!"
Ouyang Mei burst into tears and gulped: "That man is more than ten years older than me, dark, fat and ugly... My brother said he was rich and would give him a large sum of money as a betrothal gift... But I don't
I like that man! My brother insists on marrying me, saying that even if it means tying me up, he will tie me up and marry him... What should I do? Wuwu... please save me! Save me!"
Liu Ying cursed: "That coward Ouyang Xiang! Bastard! He did such a thing!"
In the past, he had a very bad reputation. He wandered around the village and stole everything. Later, I heard that he changed his ways and went out to do business and made a lot of money.
I thought he had reformed, but he was still very bad! So bad!
Compared to them who were incoherent, Xue Ling was much calmer.
She overheard the quarrel between the two brothers and sister before and knew something about the inside story, but she didn't expect that Ouyang Xiang would be so crazy and force his sister to this point - what is the difference between this and trafficking in women!
Xue Ling said solemnly: "To be honest, there is only one way to save you now."
