Chapter 58: Zhaodi, you are willing to give it away, but why can’t you do it yourself?

Zhang Yaozu's family is living in dire straits.

Ever since his wedding night with Niu Tiechui, Zhang Zhaodi and Zhang Pandyi have been missing, and Zhang Yaozu has been detained at Niu Tiechui's house and beaten every day.

Niu Tiechui said that if he couldn't find Zhang Zhaodi, he would return the betrothal money to him, and he limited the time limit to 7 days.

Six days passed, and Zhang Zhaodi and Zhang Pandi hadn't even been seen. Zhang Yaozu was so anxious that he was furious.

When Shu Yan entered the plot, Zhang Yaozu was calling his father Zhang Fugui.

"Dad!" Zhang Yaozu cried out, his eyes swollen so hard he couldn't open them. "It's been six days. Have you guys looked for Zhang Zhaodi yet? When the seventh day comes, Niu Tiechui will beat me to death!"

"Son!" Zhang Fugui, who lived in his self-built house that burned like a haunted house, wiped the screen vigorously, trying to see Zhang Yaozu clearly. "Why is your face getting more swollen every day? Did you get beaten again?"

"Isn't that nonsense?" Zhang Yaozu rubbed his waist with difficulty.

He usually does nothing at home. Since he has his parents and sister to support him, he just eats and drinks a lot and sits there playing games every day.

During this period, he always felt sore in his waist and back, especially after being locked up in the Niu family by Niu Tiechui, his face was swollen every day. He thought it was just the beatings, but in fact, his uremia had already developed to the late stage.

"Oh, Dad, please save me! I really can't live with this man anymore!" He looked sad.

"Yaozu, can you please stop talking? Doesn't your father want to save you?"

Zhang Fugui's face was filled with fatigue. "That bitch Zhang Zhaodi is as good as dead. We can't find her anywhere. We even burned the 200,000 yuan betrothal gift. What else can we do to save her?"

Zhang Yaozu howled anxiously, "What should I do, Dad? You can't just watch your son die!"

He probed and said, "Dad, how about, really, let Mom come over?"

He's the only child of the Zhang family! Mom doesn't want him to be beaten to death by a bull hammer, right?

After being beaten by Niu Tiechui for several days, Zhang Yaozu felt a lot more resentment towards Wang Xiang.

Although Zhang Fugui didn't want to give his wife away, there was no other way at this point.

A cold light flashed in Zhang Fugui's eyes: "Okay, son, wait for a moment."

Zhang Fugui hung up the phone, and Wang Xiang, wearing an apron, brought the prepared meal over.

These are the new pots and pans they bought with borrowed money.

"Dad, please eat something."

The food was piping hot. Wang Xiang’s cooking skills were pretty good, even the cabbage looked delicious.

Zhang Fugui put the food in his mouth and felt sad when he thought that no one would cook or wash dishes for him anymore.

"Alas, Wang Xiang, you have worked so hard over the years."

Wang Xiang was stunned, her eyes reddened, and she twisted the corner of her clothes: "Why, why are you suddenly saying this?"

It's really embarrassing.

As soon as Zhang Fugui saw her shy yellow face, his appetite was gone, and any affection he had for her disappeared.

"I have something to tell you." He said calmly, "The 7th day is coming tomorrow, and Yaozu is still at the Niu family. Don't you have anything you want to say?"

Wang Xiang thought of her son and became anxious: "Zhang Zhaodi, that little bitch, knew her brother was in danger, but she didn't come back!"

"Yeah." Zhang Fugui's expression remained unchanged. "Wang Xiang, you don't want our Zhang family to be extinct, do you?"

"Ah? Of course, of course I don't want to."

"Then listen, Zhaodi, I will definitely continue to look for her, but we can't let Yaozu be locked up at the Niu family all this time." Zhang Fugui stared at Wang Xiang and tried to slow down his tone: "So, you go to the Niu family first and take Yaozu down."

As soon as these words came out, Wang Xiang's face turned like an overturned color palette, red then green, green then purple.

She suddenly remembered what Zhang Yaozu had said before, that he would give her to Niu Tiechui, and her eyes turned red with anger.

"Zhang Fugui, what do you mean? Do you really want to sell me out?!"

"Who said I was going to sell you, huh?" Zhang Fugui said with a sullen expression, "I'm asking you to go and replace Yaozu first. When Zhaodi comes back, I'll exchange you for her!"

"Think about it, Yaozu is a young man, and Niu Tiechui has no scruples when it comes to beating you. But you're an older woman, so Niu Tiechui definitely wouldn't dare to hit you, right? I'm doing this for the good of our family!"

"You're talking nonsense!" Wang Xiang was almost in tears. "You talk so nicely, but you're just trying to sell me out? If Zhaodi can't be found, won't I have to stay in the Niu family forever?"

She is an old woman in her fifties, and she is involved with her son-in-law. Does she have any shame?

Besides, Niu Tiechui is so ferocious, is the Niu family a place for human beings to stay?

"Wang Xiang, don't be so unreasonable!" Zhang Fugui began to get impatient. "I said I'd get you back if I found Zhaodi! What's the matter? You were willing to give Zhaodi away, but now it's your turn, you can't?"

"You! You speak so righteously, why don't you go and change Yaozu yourself?"

Zhang Fugui sneered complacently: "I'm a man, why don't you ask Niu Tiechui if he wants it?"

Wang Xiang was so angry that she felt cold all over and sat on the ground crying. Zhang Fugui lost his patience and went up to beat her.

During the fight, Wang Xiang suddenly shouted, she thought of a brilliant idea!

......

Shu Yan and Zhang Zhaodi were staying in a hotel when a strange phone call came in.

It’s Zhang Fugui.

Zhang Fugui said on the other end of the phone that Wang Xiang had drunk rat poison and was about to die.

Afraid that they wouldn't believe him, Zhang Fugui turned on the video.

On the other end of the phone, Wang Xiangzhen's face was pale and she was crying with her last breath: "Son, I'm sorry for you. I don't want to live anymore...Where are you? Come back and see me one last time..."

Seeing Zhang Zhaodi's frightened expression, Shu Yan quickly said, "At the Lushui Hotel."

Zhang Fugui was overjoyed and quickly said that he had a friend nearby who would come and pick them up immediately.

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Zhaodi hesitated and said, "Pandi, what do you mean? You said Mom took medicine. Is that true?"

The hotel they stayed in was not the Lvshui Hotel. The Lvshui Hotel was another hotel at the east end of the town, which was quite far away.

"Let's go. We'll find out if it's true when we get there." Shu Yan comforted her.

The two of them came out quietly, and Shu Yan watched the plot as they walked.

Zhang Fugui and Wang Xiang gathered a few people and laid an ambush near the Lvshui Hotel.

Haha, as expected. How could Wang Xiang, such a shameless person, drink medicine?

As soon as Zhang Zhaodi and Zhang Pandi appeared, Zhang Fugui and Wang Xiang rushed over, spat on them, grabbed their hair, covered their mouths, dragged them into sacks, and carried them to Niu's house.

Shu Yan changed "they" to "Niu Mu" and deleted the second "they".

Shu Yan and Zhang Zhaodi rushed to the vicinity of the Lushui Hotel. As expected, Zhang Fugui and Wang Xiang rushed over and said, "That's her!"

No matter how slow Zhang Zhaodi was, she no longer had any doubts when she saw that Wang Xiang was alive and well and saw the sacks in their hands.

Her good parents took advantage of her last bit of kindness in order to trick her back!

Zhang Zhaodi's face twitched with anger. Seeing that she couldn't escape, a trace of despair flashed in her eyes. She pushed Shu Yan hard and said, "Pandi, run!"

Zhang Fugui and Wang Xiang suddenly changed direction and left with a group of people.
