Chapter 145
Mother Zhong was at home taking care of the snake gourd vines on the support in the yard.
As winter passes and autumn comes, spring comes and flowers bloom. Snake melons are rich in water and have a high yield. If they can be grown and produced, they can be eaten for a whole season, saving the family a lot of money.
The door was suddenly pushed open with great force, startling her.
When I turned around, I saw Zhong Qiao and the other man walking in with unhappy expressions.
Especially Zhong Siqi, his hairstyle was carefully groomed and he even applied hair oil before going out, but now it is messy, as if it had been ravaged by someone. At first glance, there are black and blue corners of his eyes.
"What's going on?" Mother Zhong took off her gloves and ran forward to check Zhong Siqi's face.
It was clear at a glance that he was injured.
Her first reaction was that Zhong Siqi was causing trouble outside. Since he became an adult, this kid's temper has worsened and his personality has become more stubborn.
She had been worried about this day coming.
"Did you have a fight?" Zhong's mother was furious. "You have the same bad temper as your father when he was young. Tell me, who did you hit?"
Zhong Qiao remained silent. Zhong Siqi endured it and said, "Xu Shaojun."
"What?" Mrs. Zhong was stunned.
who?
"Who else could it be?" Zhong Siqi found a bench and sat down: "Xu Shaojun."
"That's the ungrateful person who bullied my sister back then."
Mother Zhong's face turned pale, and she felt like she was about to collapse when she heard the name.
Xu Shaojun was the one who tricked Qiao Qiao into coming to Suzhou. I never had the chance to settle the score with him before, but I thought that Qiao Qiao was back and had finally escaped from the sea of suffering, so she shouldn't continue to be entangled with such a scum.
Unexpectedly, before she had lived a peaceful life for more than a year, this man came to her door. He was determined not to let Qiao Qiao have an easy life!
"Where did you meet?" Mother Zhong quickly closed the door and turned around to ask, "Did anyone else see you two coming back?"
Zhong Qiao shook her head tiredly: "Mom, don't worry, we made two detours before coming back, no one will follow us."
Mrs. Zhong was extremely anxious and regretful. "I knew this day would come, but I really didn't expect it to come so soon. It's your father and I's fault for not being able to bring you back to Hong Kong. Otherwise, with this kid's ability, he wouldn't have been able to find you at all."
"Suzhou is so big, and you still meet me. God really doesn't want you to have an easy life."
"No." Mother Zhong consoled herself, "He doesn't have our address. This might just be a coincidence. So, Qiao Qiao, try to go out less during this period of time. We'll talk about it after we've gotten over this."
Watching her wandering around anxiously for her own affairs, muttering to herself from time to time, as if she had fallen into the nightmare that she could not escape.
Zhong Qiao stood there, feeling a surge of fatigue in his heart for no reason.
Hide, hide, she is obviously the victim, why is everyone teaching her to hide, as if she is the one who is ashamed to be in the light.
"Mom, I won't hide anymore." Zhong Qiao said softly, "What's the point of hiding for a lifetime?"
"Xu Shaojun and I are divorced, and Wanwan is my only child. He can't do anything to me."
Mother Zhong was just about to talk to her about some moral principles, but when she saw Zhong Qiao's calm face and a pair of eyes that seemed to have tiny flames burning in them, she sighed and dared not speak.
"Mom just..." Zhong Siqi felt a little reluctant, "I'm just worried that you, sister, will continue to be entangled by Xu Shaojun."
"After all, we painstakingly searched for you for over a year. Do you know how Mom coped with that? She was practically going crazy, crying every day."
“…”
Silence, still silence.
Zhong Qiao didn't answer.
Of course she knew how much her parents had suffered in order to find her. Her parents seldom mentioned this, but that didn't mean she had forgotten it. She just still felt guilty towards them deep down in her heart and chose not to mention it again.
But with the emergence of Xu Shaojun, problems followed one after another, and the problems that had accumulated in the past began to reappear.
"Why are you saying this?" Mother Zhong pulled Zhong Siqi away. "Your sister must have been really scared today. Let her calm down."
Zhong Siqi felt emotional with the bruise on the corner of his eye.
One is his sister and the other is his mother. Both of them live in fear every day because of a scumbag. Alas.
"Let's leave it at that for now." Zhong Qiao interrupted his thoughts. "I'll still go to the warehouse as usual these days. Life has to go on. If someone really comes to my door, I'll find a way to deal with it."
"Mom, don't worry too much." She patted the back of Zhong's mother's hand, then turned and went into the house.
Mother Zhong sighed, this was all she could do.
He looked at Zhong Siqi again, who was beside him, randomly probing the wound on his forehead with his hand.
"Mom will get you something to apply, don't move."
Zhong Siqi was stunned for a moment and had to put his hand down.
When Zhong's father came back, Zhong Siqi told him about this matter.
Mr. Zhong reacted very calmly, as if he had expected this to happen. He didn't say anything, but turned around and said he would find a way, then left.
The next two days were calm, and Zhong Qiao went to inspect the warehouse as usual. Mother Zhong was very vigilant, and she would look closely at almost every passerby at the door.
One day, Zhong Qiao was having dinner at home, eating salted duck eggs with white porridge. Halfway through the meal, an uninvited guest suddenly arrived.
Zhou Yan.
It was said that she had not seen Zhong Qiao for several months. The last time they met was when they ran into each other by chance on the street. They exchanged a few casual words. Zhou Yan was very pleased to see that Zhong Qiao looked completely transformed.
The two of them had little in common. After all, Zhou Yan also had her own family. Zhong Qiao really couldn't figure out why she suddenly came to visit.
Zhou Yan walked in with a bad look on her face. Without waiting for Zhong Qiao to speak, she pulled her aside and told her the purpose of her visit in a concise manner.
"Do you still remember your beastly ex-husband?"
Zhong Qiao nodded.
"He got your address from somewhere, and it's said that after he found out you were doing business, he wanted to cause trouble for you."
Zhong Qiao was stunned, and suddenly a bad idea came to his mind.
Zhou Yan didn't see it, immersed in her own world, afraid that Qiao would fall into this wolf pit and tiger cave in the next second.
She dragged Zhong Qiao towards the warehouse.
"What are you waiting for? If that beast ruins your business, you'll lose a lot."
Zhong Qiao let go of her hand and took a deep breath: "No need."
She raised her thin eyelids and looked at the smiling man at the threshold.
"He's already here."
As expected, Xu Shaojun is worthy of being called. If he really wanted to find her, he could find her by using his brain. He announced in the factory that he had found her home address. In fact, he just wanted to trick Zhou Yan into coming to find him. In this way, he could find him through Zhou Yan's whereabouts.
clever.
Seeing the familiar figure at the door, Zhou Yan realized belatedly: "He, he really has a good trick."
