Chapter 86 Zhong Hong meets the wife of the eldest daughter-in-law

Ji Hebai heard the commotion outside and said to Zhong Qiao, "Don't go out yet. I'll go take a look."

This was no joke. Zhong Qiao knew that she, a woman, could not help, so she could only nod and said, "Just take a look, and come back soon."

Ji Hebai glanced at her again, and a smile slowly appeared on the corner of his lips: "Okay."

He was about to go out, but Jingui went out before him.

Seeing Jingui come out safe and sound, the villagers were confused.

"Jin Gui? Are you okay?"

Jingui was also confused: "What's going on?"

"Huh?" Someone noticed something was wrong. "Weren't you being held hostage? Aunt Wang said so."

"Bullshit." Someone interrupted, "It was clearly the Japanese who broke into the village."

Everyone was talking at the same time and no one was willing to give in, but after listening to these subtle details, Jin Gui was able to analyze what they wanted to express, and was immediately amused and touched.

"Everyone has misunderstood." Jin Gui explained, "The person in the room is the niece of Mr. Zhong. This is her—"

The voice stopped abruptly, and Jin Gui felt distressed. By the way, this He Bai who suddenly appeared out of nowhere, I don’t know what his relationship is with Miss Zhong Qiao?

Ji Hebai smiled, suddenly looked at the door behind him, and after confirming that he had closed it, he looked at everyone again.

His voice was neither loud nor soft, but it could be heard by all the villagers present.

"I'm Zhong Qiao's fiancé."

Jingui was stunned. It was her fiancé? Why did he look so unfamiliar and strange? Never mind, maybe the couple was having a quarrel.

Jingui nodded: "Yes, yes, these are all members of the Zhong family."

When the villagers of Dahe Village heard the name of Mr. Zhong, they all let down their guard.

"It turned out to be Zhong Qiao! She's grown up so much! I remember when she was little, she went to worship the ancestors with her grandfather, and she looked just like a bean sprout!"

"I said she looked familiar. Beautiful, and looks just like her mother."

Jin Gui breathed a sigh of relief, then opened the door and let Zhong Qiao out.

When the villagers of Dahe Village saw her, they crowded over to greet her enthusiastically, as if she were their own daughter.

"Zhong Qiao, do you still remember me? When we were little, Auntie once caught dragonflies for you."

"You loved the omelets I made when you were a kid, do you remember?"

“…”

The sudden enthusiasm made Zhong Qiao feel confused and familiar, and in the end it was Jin Gui who rescued her.

"Okay, Zhong Qiao still has to go back, everyone please stop blocking the way."

The villagers of Dahe Village reluctantly let Zhong Qiao go.

Zhong Qiao was dizzy from being squeezed, but she finally understood. It turned out that they were all her uncles and aunts who had taken care of her when she was staying in the countryside to worship her ancestors when she was a child. Ever since she fell into the water and was rescued, she had lost her memory and could not remember it for a while.

Jin Gui was afraid that she would be left behind in Dahe Village for dinner, so she quickly urged Ji Hebai, "Well, take her back quickly."

Ji Hebai nodded, took Zhong Qiao's shoulder from the chaos, and while she was still dizzy, he took her hand and walked out of the alley.

As for the enthusiastic villagers of Dahe Village behind him, they were naturally intercepted by Jingui alone.

By the time Zhong Qiao reacted, the person had already gotten into the car.

With a shock, the car started.

They looked at each other in silence all the way until they reached a secluded path not far from the Zhong family compound, and Zhong Qiao quickly called a halt.

Ji Hebai stepped on the brakes.

"Just put it here." Zhong Qiao leaned on the car window and looked outside furtively.

She had sneaked out this time. If those aunts saw her, it would be terrible. Just one minute of noise would give her a headache.

Ji Hebai obeyed and did as he was told. Zhong Qiao quickly got off the bike. It was not known whether his strength had recovered, but he was able to lift the bike. Almost as soon as the bike landed on the ground, Zhong Qiao sat on it.

Finally, Zhong Qiao knocked on the driver's window as he passed by: "Thank you."

After saying that, Zhong Qiao didn't dare to waste any more time. He quickly rode his bike around to the backyard and then climbed over the wall back to the compound.

Behind her, Ji Hebai stared at her back quietly for a long time.

Zhong Qiao had just put his bicycle away and climbed over the wall into the compound. After walking a few steps, he bumped into someone at the corner.

The opponent didn't move at all, but almost knocked Zhong Qiao away.

This body as heavy as a mountain made Zhong Qiao think of Mrs. Qian at the first time. When he covered his head and looked, he found that it was Zhong Hong, whom he had not seen for a long time.

A month and a half had passed since she last came to borrow money. During this period, Zhong Hong seemed to have disappeared and never came to harass their family again.

Zhong Qiao never expected to meet her here.

After not seeing each other for more than a month, Zhong Hong looked haggard and tired, completely lacking her former majesty. Even when she was bumped into by Zhong Qiao, she was absent-minded and looked distraught.

Zhong Qiao looked carefully and found that Zhong Hong's forehead, neck and arms were covered with scars of various sizes, especially the new scar on the collarbone, which seemed to have been scalded with boiling water. The skin texture showed extremely horrible wrinkles.

"Zhong Qiao?" Zhong Hong seemed to have just realized what was happening, and immediately gritted her teeth. "What bad luck! I can even run into you here?"

Zhong Qiao curled his lips: "This is my home, what do you think?"

Zhong Hong's face flushed: "None of your business!"

Zhong Qiao was speechless. She didn't really want to care, especially for someone as shameless as Zhong Hong. Her family had already done their best for her back then, and it was good enough that they didn't ask her to pay back 2,000 yuan.

"What are you looking at?"

Zhong Hong noticed that Zhong Qiao's eyes were not right, and her first reaction was to hold the scars on her arms, trying to hide her dignity.

Seeing her like this, Zhong Qiao sighed and walked around her towards home.

I thought Zhong Hong was going to curse loudly. After a bloody battle, she was on high alert. Unexpectedly, Zhong Qiao didn't want to pay any attention to her at all. Instead, before leaving, his eyes were full of compassion.

It's like, you're sympathizing with yourself?

Zhong Hong was shocked by this thought, and immediately her teeth itched in hatred.

This money-losing thing of Zhong Shaosheng is exactly like her. She always has the attitude of a young lady, high and mighty, but she pretends to be kind. It's simply disgusting!

"Bah!" Zhong Hong spat in the direction Zhong Qiao left. "I'm fine! I don't need your sympathy!"

She had an injury on her leg and was limping towards Zhong Laoer's house.

As soon as he entered the door and saw Mr. Zhong’s wife, he couldn’t help but burst into tears and rushed over to her.

"A Liu, I really can't live like this anymore! I might as well die!"

The wife of the eldest family, who was caught by her, frowned and looked disgusted, but when she thought of the purpose of inviting her to reminisce about the past, she immediately changed her expression.

"What happened? Did your man hit you again?"

Zhong Hong covered her face and cried heartbreakingly: "How can a woman like me get so much money? I put all my monthly salary into gambling, and it's still not enough for him to gamble! Today, he even lost Axiang's living expenses. I just said a few words to him, and he punched and kicked me."

The wife of the eldest son chuckled. Serves you right.

But she pretended to feel distressed: "Ah Hong, you have suffered so much. A woman as good as you can't be found even with a lantern. Tell me, why doesn't your husband cherish you?"
