Chapter 86 The Painful Cries
The room was quiet for a while before Zhou Congsheng slowly started communicating with him again. He didn't speak with a mainland accent and even spoke in English. If someone heard this, they would report him in no time.
Zhao Yue instantly lost her patience, grabbed Shen Yuzhu and rushed outside, whispering in her ear as they walked, "Sister-in-law, is this person an idiot?"
"Don't be so loud, people can hear you."
Huo Hongbang: "......."
Although he didn't speak much of the mainland dialect, he could understand that the two women weren't saying anything nice!
Zeng Hu squinted at Huo Hongbang, who was leaning against the kang cabinet, and felt that this man was not as simple as he seemed. He moved the stool next to the kang forward and tapped his fingers on the kang table.
With a glare from the tiger, Huo Hongbang's hand holding the spoon trembled in fright.
"Kid, you better behave and talk to me properly. I'm not someone who's easily fooled. If you keep talking nonsense, I'll send you to jail for a couple of days."
Zhou Congsheng frowned. He thought for a moment before realizing that the accent in Hong Kong was very similar to that in Guangzhou, but unfortunately he couldn't speak it. Then he realized that this person could also speak English.
Others might not understand this, but Shen Yuzhu certainly would.
Finding Shen Yuzhu drinking tea with Zhao Yue in the main room, he scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly.
"Zhuzhu, could you help Zeng Hu ask him some questions? He can't understand either Guangzhou dialect or English, but you definitely can. Could you translate for him?"
Shen Yuzhu looked at him in surprise, "You can understand it too, can't you?"
That's why she walked so nimbly when Zhao Yue pulled her out. Back when they went to school together, Zhou Congsheng's academic performance was also quite good. Moreover, people from families like theirs would have some knowledge of Russian, English, or other less common languages.
"I...I don't really understand."
While he was speaking, Zhao Yue kept looking at this and that, her face full of curiosity. Zhou Congsheng was very embarrassed and wished he could kick her out.
Back then, when he was learning a less commonly taught language, it was all so that he could see Shen Yuzhu and show off a bit in front of her. That way, he could appear studious and ambitious, and maybe she wouldn't dislike him so much.
But then she said some harsh words, and even though he was sad, he didn't dare to go near her anymore. He was genuinely afraid that she would hate him, and he thought that she must have something on her mind to be angry, and that she would definitely play with him again when she was happy.
He waited and waited, and even after many years of military service, he still didn't dare to go over.
Back then, I was so focused on Shen Yuzhu that I had no time to study. I was just thinking about when she would stop being angry with me so I could rush over without interrupting her.
When Shen Yuzhu came again, the communication went much more smoothly.
After listening to Shen Yuzhu's introduction, Huo Hongbang realized that this was a small village in Heilongjiang Province. If he wanted to go back, he would have to take a bus to the provincial capital or have someone come and pick him up.
Because someone could communicate with him normally, his guard gradually lowered, and he felt closer to the knowledgeable young girl in front of him.
This didn't sit well with Zhou Congsheng and Zhao Yue.
After asking all the questions, Zhao Yue dismissed everyone and took on the responsibility of caring for him herself.
She saw the person out with a smile, then slammed the door shut behind her.
He turned his head and glared fiercely at Huo Hongbang, "Kid, let me tell you, my sister-in-law is my brother's. Don't try to play any tricks on me, or I'll break your legs. Heh~, you don't believe me, do you? I'm the one who rescued you and carried you down the mountain. Otherwise, you would have died long ago. So don't talk nonsense in front of my sister-in-law, do you hear me?"
Huo Hongbang frowned as he looked at the girl in front of him, who was baring her teeth. He listened to her words and slowly pondered them in his mind until he understood what she meant.
Although he was still running a fever and was somewhat delirious, he vaguely knew that the group of people had taken him to a very cold place.
On the mountain?
Since it was on a mountain, how could he not believe that this skinny little girl could save him?
Zhao Yue met his suspicious gaze, clearly unconvinced. She was the one who killed a wild boar with a single punch, and this little rascal dared not believe her.
She chuckled a few times, turned around, found a brick in the corner, and then, right in front of Huo Hongbang, smashed it in two.
Huo Hongbang was instantly dumbfounded. This little girl was incredibly strong!
Seeing the satisfied expression on his face, Zhao Yue swallowed hard, gave a cold laugh, and turned to leave.
As soon as she stepped outside, she saw everyone standing in the yard. She composed herself and said, "I'm going to the toilet. Old Zeng, you keep an eye on things!"
When they got to the restroom, Zhao Yue held her bright red hand and whimpered in pain.
It hurts so much! Before, when she was on the mountain, she felt full of energy. She didn't even notice when the wild boar died in front of her. How come her hand turns red and hurts so much when she just breaks a brick now?
What happened? Why did she suddenly lose so much strength?
Zhao Yue thought about it for a while, then suddenly stopped.
Is it possible that she can only unleash her full power when she's on the mountain?
Shen Yuzhu was unaware of these thoughts she was harboring. Zhou Congsheng was leaving that afternoon, and she wanted to spend more time with him.
Zhou Daoming and Chu Lian sent him a lot of things a few days ago. They knew that Zhou Congsheng had come to the military base here, and they thought that since he was going to stay in Heilongjiang Province for so long, he should get married as soon as possible so that he could go with the army. It would be better than suffering as an educated youth in the countryside.
So when Zhou Congsheng showed the letter to Shen Yuzhu, he brought up the matter of marriage again.
Since yesterday, there has been a lot of noise at home and in the village, and she hasn't had a chance to talk to him properly. Now that she has some free time, Shen Yuzhu took him home and gave him the junior translator certificate.
"Take a look at this."
"This is a translation qualification certificate. What does that mean? Aren't those books you've read and the manuscripts you've written for submission?"
Shen Yuzhu shook her head. "Submitting articles is only one aspect. I brought a lot of money with me when I went to the countryside. It would be too conspicuous to spend it in the village. Fortunately, the newspaper thought my articles were well written, so they submitted a few. The translation certificate is the most important thing. I'm at the junior level now. Once I get the next level, we'll get married."
Zhou Congsheng was stunned for a moment, his hand holding the certificate trembling.
Now, in his eyes, this is not just a simple certificate, but a pass to Shen Yuzhu to marry him.
"By the end of next year at the latest, I will definitely get the advanced certificate. With this, no one will pursue my background. Even if someone tries to cause trouble, I have an advanced translation certificate, which means I am a talent working for the country. In addition, there are the certificates and medals I received for donating my family property. Zhou Congsheng, no one can use me to make trouble for you anymore. Do you understand?"
Zhou Congsheng's eyes reddened, and he suddenly pulled her into his arms. How could he not understand that this was all for their family and his future? Zhuzhu's love for him was simply too much.
