Chapter 103 One Trick After Another...

The master actually wants me to work on firearms?

However, I felt much more relaxed. Actually, my husband has never liked these things, but this time he was willing to do so for Comrade Zhou's safety?

That's good. With firearms for self-defense, protecting Mr. will be much easier in the future!

I couldn't help but admire Zhou Ye even more!

So, he immediately went to get things done without stopping.

Su Da gradually appeared before the villagers. Su Yunzhou had done such a great good deed for Hongqi Village.

It's normal for someone to come and help handle it.

This is the reason why Su Da appeared openly and legitimately!

Su Yunzhou was in poor health and bedridden again. The villagers weren't even too curious; they just knew...

Oh, Su, the educated youth, is sick again!

This saved everyone a lot of trouble.

Zhou Ye has been taking care of Su Yunzhou's medicine these past few days, and he is visibly recovering very well!

In fact, his physical condition is even better than before.

You can also take a walk around the foot of the mountain...

The villagers were very welcoming to Su Yunzhou, after all, he was their benefactor!

The houses and fields in the village have been cleaned up. When Zhou Ye and Su Yunzhou took a walk, they looked at everyone busy and felt a little heavy-hearted.

For the villagers, food is everything! But a natural disaster struck, and not a single grain seed survived in the fields.

Isn't this a major disaster for the heart?

The autumn harvest is supposed to be the harvest of food from this year to next autumn, but now, there's nothing left!

Su Zhiqing meant well, but could he really support an entire village for a year?

They're not exactly easy targets!

The villagers smiled for the first time in front of the two men, but after they left, everyone fell into despair.

"Aren't those people from the cowshed?"

Su Yunzhou suddenly pointed to the two people under the big tree in front of him and said.

Zhou Ye looked closely and realized that it was indeed Zhou Zijiao!

Ha... I just said it casually, and it actually caused trouble for the villagers?

However, it makes sense. Zhou Zijiao was spoiled since childhood. Although she has suffered some hardships recently, she is still young and beautiful.

She's educated and cultured, so seducing some unsophisticated, rough men is a piece of cake!

At the same time, Zhou Zijiao also saw Zhou Ye, her eyes showing a moment of panic followed by composure.

What's wrong? I'm looking for a way to make a living, is that alright?

"It's him?" Su Yunzhou, standing beside him, frowned.

"What's wrong?"

"The person next to him is Uncle Xie's nephew!"

Zhou hadn't seen many people in the village and wasn't familiar with them, but the man under the big tree looked somewhat familiar.

"He is Xie...?"

"Xie Jianguo! The youngest son of Uncle Xie's younger brother! I've met him once!"

Su Yunzhou frowned.

Zhou Ye thought to himself, "This Zhou Zijiao is quite capable; she managed to seduce a member of the royal family on her first try."

Why don't you try to get close to Xie Jianshe? Wouldn't that make things much easier in the future?

That's incredibly bold!

I wonder if the village chief will exile her even further once he finds out!

As Zhou was pondering this, Su Yunzhou quietly remarked, "He's Xie Jianshe's cousin!"

Zhou Ye inexplicably felt a pang of sadness... Was it just his imagination?

He glanced at Su Yunzhou, and sure enough... those eyes held a half-smile!

He sneered, "Isn't that perfect? ​​They're your brothers too, why don't you go and check on them?"

"Tch...him?"

Before Su Yunzhou could finish speaking, it was clear that he looked down on the person in front of him, but the more you look down on someone, the more they pester you...

That's not...

The moment Xie Jianguo saw Su Yunzhou, his eyes lit up instantly, like a 100-watt light bulb being lit in the dark!

It's incredibly shiny!

This description is not an exaggeration at all. Xie Jianguo left Zhou Zijiao and jogged over: "Brother Yunzhou, I heard that your health is not very good again? How are you now?"

Are you feeling better?

I've been saying I'd come see you, but I've been so busy with farm work... I haven't had a chance yet.

I was so worried!

Zhou couldn't help but curl his lip. Worried? I've never seen you at the educated youth settlement. Worrying with words?

Zhou Zijiao hesitated for a moment, then followed.

She had met Su Yunzhou before, but she never expected that Zhou Ye would be hanging out with this sickly guy.

And you still talk about yourself? Aren't you just after other people's money?

Otherwise, how could Zhou have taken a liking to a sickly person?

Oh……

Unable to resist, she looked at Zhou Ye with disdain.

Zhou Ye's face darkened: "What kind of eyes do you have? Can't you read people? I'll gouge your eyes out!"

Zhou Zijiao felt a pang of panic and pursed her lips, looking away.

Xie Jianguo frowned and glanced at Zhou Ye with displeasure. So what if she's good-looking? If he married her, wouldn't she cause a huge uproar?

It has to be Zijiao. Even though she's in a cowshed, she's positive, hardworking, and trying to reform herself! Even if her family background isn't exactly respectable, marrying her and having children is still a good option.

I've been a poor peasant for eight generations!

Are you dating?

Zhou Ye suddenly frowned and asked.

Su Yunzhou also looked intently at the two of them.

Unexpectedly, Xie Jianguo did not admit it, but just smiled and said, "Zhou Zhiqing, Brother Yunzhou, every household is short of food right now, it's not a good time to get married. Wait until things get better..."

We'll see...

He didn't see that Zhou Zijiao's face suddenly turned pale, and she was almost swaying!

Before leaving, Zhou Ye gave Zhou Zijiao a meaningful look.

Zhou Zijiao shuddered, a strong sense of threat surging into her mind... She had to deal with Xie Jianguo.

Otherwise... life really wouldn't be possible.

Zhou Ye and Su Yunzhou walked back, Su Yunzhou's eyes full of smiles: "You did this on purpose?"

"Why would you think that?" Zhou wouldn't admit it either.

"Oh……"

Su Yunzhou smiled, a smile tinged with indulgence…

Zhou Ye thought it would take several days to wait, but unexpectedly, rumors started circulating after only one day.

"Have you heard? That woman from the cowshed ran away to Xie Jian's house and locked herself in there for a long time."

How shameless!

"Jianguo is a fool!"

"Can the people in the cowshed get involved? Oh dear... this is terrible!"

The next day, in the afternoon, many people sat around the millstone at the village entrance, excitedly gossiping.

Coincidentally, Xie Jianguo and Zhou Zijiao happened to be passing by...

Upon hearing this, Zhou Zijiao proudly puffed out her chest. "Go ahead and spread it... the more outrageous the better..."

The closer you get to your goal!

Xie Jianguo approached, furious: "Aunties, what are you talking about? Zhou Zijiao and I are just friends."

She came to my house to do my laundry!

That's not what you're talking about!

Don't talk nonsense and ruin my reputation.

Zhou Zijiao's face turned ashen; she was truly stubborn and unyielding!

Xie Jianguo genuinely felt that Zhou Zijiao was different, but he also knew her identity was special! Therefore, he was still hesitant…

Therefore, Zhou Zijiao made a tough decision!

If you're heartless, don't blame me for being unjust!

As it was getting dark, Zhou Zijiao found Xie Jianguo and said she had something to tell him. Xie Jianguo hesitated for a moment, then went with her...

The two arrived at the grove together, but Zhou Zijiao suddenly took off her clothes, which stunned Xie Jianguo!

She hugged him tightly and cried softly, "Brother Jianguo, do you really not like me?"

I think about you every day, how could you be so heartless?

Xie Jianguo, young and vigorous, couldn't possibly resist. He turned around and was about to hug Zhou Zijiao...

Unexpectedly, a strong force from behind suddenly pulled Zhou Zijiao away!

"ah!"

With a gasp, Zhou Zijiao finally saw the person behind her.

"Zhou Ye!" she shouted through gritted teeth, her eyes filled with hatred as she glared at her.

Zhou Ye took a deep breath and said worriedly, "Oh dear, it really is you! How could a grown woman like you be so careless!"

All your clothes are gone?

"Put it on quickly, it's so cold at night!"

Then, looking at Xie Jianguo, who was staring in disbelief, he slapped his forehead and said, "Are you dumbfounded? Get out of here quickly, or they'll try to extort you!"

Xie Jianguo's mind went blank!

He immediately realized he might have been set up, gave her a disgusted look, and left quickly!

Zhou Zijiao didn't even have time to open her mouth to stop her.

"ah!"

She glared at Zhou Ye with resentment, hurriedly put on her clothes, and was about to pounce on him and start a fight.

"Zhou Ye, are you really that jealous of me? I finally found a way out, and this is how you treat me?"

Why did you come?

I'll be leaving the cowshed soon! I'm about to succeed!

She screamed... she broke down...

A flash of silver light, and a sharp dagger was held against Zhou Zijiao's neck.

"What a beautiful neck! I wonder if it hurts when I cut your skin? Oh... what a pity."

You're really about to start living a good life!

Xie Jianguo is the village chief's nephew. If you can get on his good side, you really won't have to live in the cowshed anymore.

Tsk…

"You did it on purpose! You did it on purpose!"

Zhou Ye curled his lips: "Yeah, so what? You really think you're a phoenix rising from the ashes?"

You're destined to die in a cowshed...

"Don't even think about getting away!"

Zhou Zijiao was panting heavily; she was furious.

The thought that Zhou Ye had ruined the way out she had painstakingly found filled her with hatred! She wished Zhou Ye were dead!

But she couldn't understand why Zhou Ye hated the Zhou family so much, or why he hated her so much.

Even if I mistreated her in the past, that's all in the past.

It's not worth killing an entire family!

"Why? Why do you have to kill us? Zhou Ye, you're such an ingrate! Even if we treated you badly before, it was only by being stingy with your food!"

I have never taken a life!

And this is how you treat us!

Can you sleep at night? Our family is ruined and we've lost everything. Do you think you're doing any better?

Zhou Ye, how could you be so heartless?

"I'm ruthless? Zhou Zijiao, your whole family deserves to go to hell!" With that, she shoved Zhou Zijiao aside, gave her a mocking look, and left!

Zhou Zijiao sat on the ground...

Back in the cowshed, Yu Wen stretched out his hand and asked weakly, "How are you?"

Zhou Zijiao shouted angrily, "What? What? All you know is to ask questions! Why don't you stand up!"

I have difficulty walking, and I still have to take care of you!

How come you live such a good life?

I'm telling you, it's ruined! Completely ruined! Zhou ruined it all!

Are you satisfied now?

Yu Wen lay in bed, tears streaming down her face.

"She... still won't let us go!"

Zhou Zijiao's eyes were filled with hatred, as if it could burn through the entire cowshed!

Um?

A phoenix rising from the ashes?

Zhou Zijiao looked at Yu Wen lying there, and an idea came to her mind!

"Mom, I remember you still have some money hidden away, right?"
