"These are definitely not my children. My morals tell me that if I throw these two away, even if I become a millionaire, I'll still wake up in the middle of the night."
This means we're going to raise it.
Jiang Ci said, "If you don't want to, you can go and work hard on your own. Even without you, I can still raise these two children."
Jiang Ci carried Zhou Miao and walked towards the house.
Sensing her indifference, Zhou Mingli took two quick steps and grabbed her arm. Feeling resistance, Jiang Ci said sternly, "What are you doing?"
Zhou Mingli looked down at her and said, "I'm not unwilling."
“I can’t leave you here alone. I never thought about leaving. I was just asking those questions, so don’t overthink it.”
After saying that, Zhou Mingli let go of her arm, took two steps back, and said, "You go back and rest first. I'll go to Boss Zhou's place."
Jiang Ci glanced at him sideways. Zhou Mingli's expression was reserved, and it was dark, so she couldn't tell anything from him.
Since he had already agreed, Jiang Ci stopped dwelling on it and simply said, "Okay."
Jiang Ci returned to those two dilapidated houses.
Brother Yu didn't sleep. He sat at the door and fanned himself with a palm-leaf fan.
Seeing the person approach, he stood up and asked, "How is it?"
"I got a fever-reducing injection and some medicine. Thank you for staying here with me, Brother Yu."
Brother Yu sighed, "We're neighbors, we should help each other out if we can. I just saw you walking back with a man, is that your second son?"
Jiang Ci nodded. "It's him."
Yu Da Ge looked down on Zhou Mingli and said, "Why hasn't he come back yet? He can still walk to the doorstep, but you don't do anything about it."
Jiang Ci said, "I met him at the medical station. He was also injured. He said he had to go to his older brother's house for something and told me to come back first."
Brother Yu replied, "Okay, since there's nothing else, I'll head back now."
"Well, after we finish the busy farming season, my family will treat you to a meal to formally express our gratitude." Jiang Ci said with a smile.
Brother Yu repeatedly said no, but he was still happy when he went back. It's nice to hear that someone remembers your kindness, no matter who helped you.
At least I didn't do the wrong thing by helping with this.
Zhou Mingli walked silently towards Old Master Zhou's house under the cover of night.
The original Zhou Mingli's parents had died long ago, leaving behind two brothers, Zhou Lao Da and Zhou Lao Er.
These two brothers were both notorious thieves in the production brigade. Not long ago, the eldest brother, Zhou, somehow got wind of a rumor that someone in a nearby production brigade had secretly acquired a lot of gold and silver jewelry at an archaeological site in the mountains.
He pulled Zhou Lao Er (Zhou Mingli) along, planning to steal it together and sell it at the ghost market as soon as possible to make a lot of money.
The two brothers made a plan and went there three days ago. However, they knew that the men in that brigade were even more ferocious and had a big black dog. They were caught as soon as they entered the brigade in the dark.
Zhou Lao Da pushed Zhou Lao Er and ran away. Zhou Lao Er was severely beaten and thrown into a ravine. Only then did Zhou Mingli enter Zhou Lao Er's body.
Zhou Mingli didn't know what was causing the problem; the fatal wounds on his body had disappeared, but many non-fatal wounds remained, large and small.
If Zhou Mingli doesn't go home this late, it's because he's going to find Boss Zhou. He'll either kill him or scare him into paying some compensation.
He and Jiang Ci came to this kind of place. Jiang Ci had been a young lady who had never done housework since she was a child, and she was suffering here.
As for the current situation, unless a thunderbolt strikes them back to the previous era, it will be difficult to return to a life of having food and clothing provided for them in a short period of time.
Zhou Mingli didn't want her to work so hard, so he could only try to get some money and things to improve her living conditions.
As Zhou Mingli silently calculated how much money he would need to give Jiang Ci a better life, his expression grew increasingly solemn.
Passing by the threshing ground, Zhou Mingli went inside, grabbed a sickle, and silently walked to the door of Zhou Laoda's house.
The night was already deep, and every household was asleep.
Zhou Mingli stared at the tightly closed door, touched the wound on his abdomen, his eyes calm yet revealing an indescribable ruthlessness.
Immediately afterwards, there were two loud bangs!
Zhou Laoer was very strong. Although he was injured, he still had a lot of strength. With two kicks, the door, which was not very strong to begin with, was kicked into pieces by Zhou Mingli.
Zhou Laoda and his wife, who were sleeping with their arms around each other, were startled awake by the noise, only to hear their child crying.
"Tiantian!" Zhou Lao Da's wife screamed and ran out.
"What's going on? Who's making such a racket so late at night instead of sleeping?!"
Zhou Laoda, without even putting on his coat, impatiently yelled and chased after them shirtless.
"ah!"
Then came his wife's scream, her voice trembling, "What, what are you going to do!?"
"Tiantian, my Tiantian!"
Boss Zhou immediately felt something was wrong, quickened his pace, and rushed into his son's room. The person who came into his sight was a familiar person!
Someone he was very familiar with—Zhou Laoer!
Zhou Lao Er's clothes were covered in dark bloodstains. In the gloomy house, he held his son Zhou Tian in one hand and a sickle in the other!
The sharp end was pressed against his son's neck; if Zhou Lao Er wanted to, his son would die!
Zhou Lao Er!
He actually came back alive!
Now he wants to kill his son!
Zhou Laoda was filled with terror, guilt, and fear. He shouted incredulously, "Zhou Lao Er! What are you doing! Put my son down!"
"Second brother, we can talk about this slowly. You...you put your nephew down. He's my lifeblood. Please, please put my son down..." Zhou's eldest son's wife cried and begged Zhou Mingli.
