Chapter 16 Doctor Ji in the Compound
Zhong Hong lost her temper when she spoke and blew out all the smoke.
"Only your two children are more precious than others. Your daughter has become a slut, and you still bring a money-losing girl to live in this compound. It really brings shame to our ancestors of the Zhong family."
"Don't think that no one wants our little flower. I'm asking this because I think highly of your family. Zhong Shao, you're not a good person either. You pretend to be a lady from a noble family every day, but you're actually a hypocritical slut—"
With a crisp slap, Zhong Hong's unfinished words were completely strangled in her throat.
The slap was so hard that Zhong Hong felt a buzzing in her ears and her head tilted to the right, making her unable to stand steadily. Her brain seemed to be numb for a moment, and then an explosive pain came over her, followed by a hot and spicy feeling.
"you--"
Zhong Hong was beaten to the ground, a look of disbelief on her face. She covered her burning cheeks, her eyes nearly bloodshot. "Zhong Zhiwei actually dared to hit me?"
It was fine that she was beaten by that gambler at home, but when was it Zhong Zhiwei's turn to teach her a lesson?
Mr. Zhong was very angry and muttered something through gritted teeth.
"If you're crazy, go get treatment. My wife and my daughter are innocent. Don't bite people here. You are not welcome in my house anymore."
He took a deep breath, as if to suppress the sharp pain in his chest.
"Get out now, immediately, right now."
Zhong Siqi was stunned, and after a long while he slowly uttered a word.
"dad."
Is this still his father who always speaks kindly to relatives and has a smile on his face?
Zhong's mother also rushed over to pull him away, but this time, she was not blaming him for not controlling his temper, but was concerned about his high blood pressure.
Zhong Qiao quickly struggled to get up, rubbed his chest, and glanced at the ground - Zhong Hong was in a miserable state.
He spoke coldly:
"Goodbye, I won't see you off."
"You, you——" Zhong Hong was shaking with anger.
The bowl of lean meat slices had been spilled at some point and poured all over the bed. The delicious and oily meat slices looked like a turbid and rotten mass of meat, somewhat similar to the greasy Zhong Hong.
"dad."
Zhong Siqi came forward holding the child, his eyes full of worry. He leaned close to Zhong's father's ear and whispered, "This woman seems a little mentally unstable. How about I go and chase them away..."
Mentally ill?
Zhong Hong was stunned, then realized that he was being talked about, and immediately became furious.
"If you dare to hit me, I will report you to the production team right now."
Father Zhong sneered, "Zhong Hong, I've been putting up with you for a long time. Instead of thinking about reporting me, why don't you think about when you're going to pay back the money you owe my family? Okay, you want to make a scene, right? Make a scene! Keep making a scene, and it'd be best if you make it a big one, so that everyone knows you, Zhong Hong, are a deadbeat and are bullying my family."
"I want to see whether it is me who suffers first or you who suffers first!"
As Mr. Zhong's tone became more and more brutal, with obvious threats in his voice, Zhong Hong's face turned pale.
How could she forget?
When Zhong Zhiwei was young, he was the most ferocious fighter in the village, and he would fight to the death. But after he made some money outside and put on the skin of a businessman, she thought he was a soft persimmon.
Mr. Zhong's words left her speechless.
After a while, Zhong Hong seemed to wake up from a dream and jumped up.
This is not her home, nor is it that dilapidated old village.
She got hot-headed and vented all her anger. How did she end up falling out with Zhong Zhiwei?
It's all over. She was still thinking of giving Xiaohua to her youngest son, but now it's all over. The betrothal gift is gone! Her grandchildren are gone too?!
Zhong Siqi didn't care what she was thinking. He carefully handed the child to Zhong Qiao, stood up and started to chase people away.
He made a gesture like chasing chickens, and started waving the broom.
Zhong Hong wanted to say something to save face.
Zhong Siqi acted quickly, raised his hand and waved, and the two were swept out of the door like garbage.
Zhong Siqi closed the door and snorted coldly, this old woman and Zhou Ping are not good people!
They haven't had a few days of good days yet. What kind of people come to their door every day? It seems that they should lock the door when there is nothing to do in the future, so as to prevent some unscrupulous people from coming to the door and causing trouble!
Zhong Xiaohua fell head over heels, grimacing in pain, but she still did not forget to support Zhong Hong who was beside her.
"Mom, are you okay?"
Some people looked over and couldn't help but laugh: "Hey, isn't this Zhong Hong's sister-in-law? Is she here to borrow money from Zhong Zhiwei's family again this year?"
Someone responded, "Looks like we got rejected again, just like last year."
"Hey, hey, hey—" someone hurriedly stopped them, "Don't provoke her, she's a badass. Be careful, she might start a fight with you."
"I'm afraid of her?"
The woman's voice was full of contempt. However, after this voice, the people in the compound finally calmed down a bit. After all, no one wanted to be entangled by Zhong Hong's family of gamblers.
Zhong Hong's fat body crawled on the ground, crying out in pain.
She was holding a "gift" for the Zhong family.
Half-rotten sweet potatoes, shriveled white radishes, and withered vegetable leaves all rolled out of the red plastic bag.
Her face and butt hurt. She was slapped, turned away, and laughed at. Zhong Hong felt even more uncomfortable. She was so angry that she had no place to vent, so she could only kick Zhong Xiaohua hard.
"You silly girl, I've been so worried about you. If you weren't so ugly and nobody wanted you, would I have gone to the Zhong family to ask for this? You useless thing, you have no sense at all. Can't you see how much I'm hurting you? Hurry up and pick up the things."
Zhong Xiaohua was kicked, her eyes were red, but she held back her tears and didn't dare to talk back.
My mother hates seeing others cry the most. Whenever she cries, she gets angry and wants to glare at her and hit her, but she doesn't dare.
Zhong Xiaohua didn't have time to care about the pain in her body. She bit her lip timidly and picked up the fruits and vegetables that had fallen to the ground without saying a word.
Sudden--
A magnetic voice suddenly sounded behind her.
"Are there any guests?"
A white, slender hand picked up the white radish on the ground.
Because her back was facing away, Zhong Xiaohua was stunned for a moment and could only smell a faint aroma of Chinese medicine. She turned around and saw that the courtyard, which had been noisy just now, was now silent.
A very young man.
He was wearing a Zhongshan suit, but his facial features were so aggressive that one couldn't look away.
Wheat-colored skin, an indifferent expression, radiant light, and clear contours, especially those eyes, which were like slanted mountain peaks, extremely sharp, shrouded in a halo, and immersed in the snow, like amber.
Zhong Xiaohua looked up in a daze. The man was very close to her. When she looked up, she could see that he lowered his eyes, and his amber pupils contained a hint of indifference.
Like someone walking out of a painting.
In addition, he was very tall. Zhong Xiaohua was squatting on the ground. From this angle, and being stared at with such eyes, she suddenly felt unstable and dizzy.
Ji Hebai stared at them for a long time before he slowly spoke.
"Are you from the Zhong family?"
His voice was profound and had a cold ending that was just the right amount of cold, like a feather caressing the tip of my heart.
Zhong Xiaohua was drenched in snow and water, shivering violently, and replied tremblingly, "Yes."
After a moment, she thought of something, her face became panicked, and she shook her head frantically.
"No, no, we were just passing by."
After saying that, she quickly stood up and pulled Zhong Hong from the ground.
"Mom, let's go quickly."
Otherwise, I will be laughed to death!
"Leave me alone, you useless ghosts, you might as well just let me die!"
Zhong Hong didn't have time to pay attention to Zhong Xiaohua. She pushed her to the ground and forced a smile that looked like she was crying.
"Big ghosts, small ghosts, none of them are worry-free!"
"Mom!" Zhong Xiaohua called her out in pain and for a long time. It was not right to leave, nor was it right not to leave.
Zhong Hong slowly lowered her head, her eyes were empty, her expression darkened in an instant, and she stared at the red plastic bag in her hand in a daze.
Suddenly, he looked up at the sky with a bleak expression.
If I go back, I will be beaten again.
All this is because of Zhong Zhiwei's family, whether it's borrowing money or the marriage. If Zhong Zhiwei and the others had agreed, wouldn't she have to avoid being beaten?
Why not agree?
