Chapter 87 Zhong Hong and Auntie’s Conspiracy

Zhong Hong cried until her eyes turned red: "If my parents hadn't forced me to get married, how could I have married him?"

Cui Liu was silent and didn't dare to speak.

Zhong Hong is from the same village as her, but is a few years older than her. Because her family has several bachelor brothers, her parents married her to Zhong Wei.

Zhong Wei was the boss of the factory at that time. Although he was not good-looking, he was very good at making money. For Zhong Hong, marrying him was actually marrying above her station.

Cui Liu was very jealous back then. Even after she married into the Zhong family, she still compared herself with Zhong Hong openly and secretly. However, Zhong Hong was too simple-minded to notice anything was wrong with her.

In this seemingly calm but actually turbulent life, Zhong Wei was instigated by his bad friends and became addicted to gambling. Zhong Hong and the child's life fell into a slump, and Cui Liu felt better.

But Cui Liu never dared to tell anyone these words from his heart.

Looking at Zhong Hong's swollen eyes, Cui Liu lowered his eyes and asked casually, "Does Zhong Wei owe a lot of money?"

Zhong Hong was completely unprepared: "Alas, he never told me. It's like a bottomless pit. Creditors come to the door every day. I think he owes a lot."

"I don't know how I'm going to get through the rest of my life!"

This is exactly what Cui Liu was waiting for.

She said slowly: "Then - do you want a divorce?"

Zhong Hong's eyes widened when she heard this: "A Liu, are you crazy? How can a woman get divorced in this world? If you tell anyone about this, you'll be laughed to death."

Cui Liu had expected her to say this, and he himself had no hope of their divorce.

Zhong Hong is stupid, bad, greedy, and stubborn. For her, who is old-fashioned and conservative, divorce is tantamount to asking her to die.

"Do you want to make money?" Cui Liu finally got to the point.

Zhong Hong froze for a moment, then her eyes lit up, as if she had grasped a life-saving straw: "A Liu, do you have any ideas?"

Cui Liu pretended to resist, looking as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

"Well, it's not that I don't want to tell you, it's just that this matter is too risky and too immoral. But our family really has no other choice on this matter."

Zhong Hong seemed to understand what he said, but she keenly realized that there was something fishy going on.

"A Liu, stop keeping me in suspense and tell me quickly." Zhong Hong anxiously grabbed her hand, completely unaware that she was walking into a trap.

Cui Liu sighed again: "Then I'm telling you, don't tell anyone, otherwise, you and I will both be doomed."

Zhong Hong's mind was full of ways to make money, so she didn't care about these messy things. She nodded quickly and said, "Don't worry, Liu. Whether this is done or not, it has nothing to do with you!"

Zhong Hong had said this, and her goal was already half achieved. Seeing that she had whetted her appetite, Cui Liu rolled his eyes and said slowly, "Do you know that money-losing guy of Zhong Qiaosheng?"

"It's the one called Wanwan."

Zhong Hong didn't expect that this matter was also related to Zhong Qiao. She was stunned at first, and then nodded hesitantly.

"I know."

How could she not know?

When she brought Xiaohua to borrow money, the Zhong Qiao family drove them out. She accidentally saw the baby sleeping in the cradle, but she didn't take it seriously and forgot about it. It was only after Cui Liu reminded her that she remembered it.

"What's wrong with her?" Zhong Hong asked.

Cui Liu stood up and walked to the door. After confirming that no one was eavesdropping, he closed the door.

After a long while, she said something that shocked Zhong Hong.

"We're going to sell the kid."

Zhong Hong was stunned: "Sold it?"

Is that what she meant?

As if to verify her guess, Cui Liu nodded heavily: "Yes."

"We have no other choice." Cui Liu turned around and sighed, "You don't know, ever since Zhong Qiao came home, life has been in turmoil. My parents-in-law have been plagued by rumors and gossip about Zhong Qiao and the money-loser, and their hair has turned white with worry."

"So," Cui Liu said with a fierce look in his eyes, "this child cannot be kept. He must be sent as far away as possible."

"This..." Zhong Hong was speechless.

As the saying goes, even a tiger won't eat its own cubs. Even though she thought that the girls were a waste of money, she still didn't drown Zhong Xiaohua in the urine bucket or throw her on the river bank to fend for herself.

Even if the daughter is a loss-making commodity, she will be married off in the future, but she has the blood of the Zhong family flowing in her veins. Can the Zhong family just say they don't want her?

Cui Liu's eyes rolled around, and he turned around and held her hand: "Ah Hong, after thinking about it, you are the most suitable one."

Zhong Hong, who was caught red-handed, trembled violently and said tremblingly, "Do you want me to sell her child?"

Oh my God, this is a crime of trafficking! If you get caught, it will be a disaster. Before, a woman who specialized in trafficking children was caught and ended up in a miserable state. She was beaten by onlookers and almost died.

If she was discovered, wouldn't her life be over?

Cui Liu didn't back down. Instead, he gently persuaded her: "Aren't you short of money? Then sell this money-losing item. My parents-in-law won't say anything. The time, the place, and the people are all right. What are you hesitating about?"

Zhong Hong was a little tempted, but hesitant about the unknown outcome.

This is indeed a very risky thing, but it is not uncommon. After all, there are many families who don't like their daughters and will find ways to drown their children in urine buckets, using various methods.

Reselling it is not impossible if it happens in a chaotic situation.

Cui Liu continued to add fuel to her fire in her ear.

"Even if you can't think for yourself, you should still think about your son. Didn't you say before that your son's tuition is still unsolved?"

Zhong Hong seemed to be shaken.

Cui Liu gritted his teeth and used his ultimate move.

"If you can't come up with the money, the creditors will come to your house. I heard that some will even cut off the hands of those who can't pay back the money. Your father is away from home all year round. What will you do if the son has to pay off the father's debts?"

Zhong Hong's expression changed.

Those who came to their house to collect debts were ferocious and burly. They came most frequently during this period and even threatened to kill their entire family.

For those unruly people, it is not impossible to cut off their fingers.

"Forget it." Seeing that Zhong Hong's heart had already turned to her, Cui Liu used the tactic of playing hard to get. "I was wrong. I shouldn't have pushed you. Well, if you don't want to, forget it."

"After all, this matter does have risks, so I can only reject the buyer."

"Wait." Zhong Hong stood up and Cui Liu looked at her in pretended surprise.

"Isn't it just selling a money-losing commodity that everyone hates?!" Zhong Hong smiled sinisterly. "Since your family has spoken, what else can I say?"

"A Liu, I agree. Just tell me what I should do. I'll listen to you. As long as I can make money and pay for A Xiang's tuition and repay the debt, I believe A Wei will never hit me again."

Cui Liu got an accurate answer, breathed a sigh of relief, and whispered something into Zhong Hong's ear.

Zhong Hong was stunned, surprised and happy when she heard this. In the end, she was inexplicably full of confidence, as if she had already seen a bright future beckoning to her.

Little did he know that he was just a scapegoat, walking step by step into a trap carefully set by others.
