Chapter 161
However, the imagined pain did not come. Zhong Xiaohua was pulled back by someone. The force was so strong that her arm was almost hurt, which was enough to show her determination.
Zhong Qiao pulled the spinning Zhong Xiaohua over and sighed, "Alright, if I really want you to die, then go ahead and die. You're such a stubborn person."
Zhong Xiaohua lowered her head, pursed her lips, her eyes red, but her face was full of stubbornness: "I have no choice. I have already inquired about that butcher. He killed two wives and beat people. If I marry him, I might as well die."
Although her life was worthless and she didn't think she was that good-looking or had good conditions, as a girl, she had imagined what her future husband would be like after she got married.
She once thought that it would be nice to live an ordinary life. After all, with her family's financial situation, people in the village would hide away when they saw them. It was already very good that someone was willing to marry her.
But she had never imagined that her parents would push her into the fire.
If she has to marry such a person for the rest of her life, she would rather not get married at all.
"Then tell me first." Zhong Qiao lowered his eyes to look at her, "What happened last time?"
She was referring to the incident when a thief broke into the yard and Wanwan was almost in trouble. Why was Zhong Xiaohua sneaking around there? With her honest character, she should have been at home serving her lazy parents.
Hearing this, Zhong Xiaohua suppressed her inner grievances and felt a little conflicted for a moment. On one side were her parents, who, although not kind to her, were the ones who gave her life. On the other side was Sister Zhong Qiao, who treated her very well. She finally calmed down and listened to her reasons, but she didn't dare to speak.
There were two reasons why she didn't dare to say it. The first was to protect her parents, and the second was that she didn't want Zhong Qiao to have any opinions about her after knowing about this.
Zhong Qiao's face was a little cold: "I have already shown my sincerity. Since you are unwilling to believe me, let alone speak, then I will assume that you are in cahoots with those people. Don't come to me anymore."
After saying that, she pulled Ji Hebai and was about to leave. Behind her, Zhong Xiaohua became anxious.
"Sister Zhong Qiao, I didn't mean to hide it on purpose. I was just afraid that you would hate me."
Zhong Qiao didn't look back, still striding towards home. Zhong Xiaohua seemed to have her last psychological defense line collapsed, and she cried out anxiously: "Sister Zhong Qiao, these are my parents."
She's just thrown in the towel.
"My parents and your Aunt Cui Liu colluded and said they wanted to sell Wanwan. I really couldn't stop them or persuade them, and I was afraid that my parents would make a big mistake, so I thought of taking Wanwan away and hiding her. After the matter has settled down, I will explain everything to you clearly."
"But I really didn't expect..."
Having said that, Zhong Xiaohua didn't dare to continue.
She really didn't expect her parents to be so cruel. After failing to find an opportunity to attack Wanwan, they reached out to Zhong Long.
Zhong Long is considered to be Zhong Qiao's junior, so she didn't dare to tell the truth. If she did, she would probably be beaten out.
Zhong Qiao had already stood still.
Ji Hebai pulled her with some concern: "Zhong Qiao, Zhong Qiao." He called her softly.
Zhong Qiao realized it later and looked up at Ji Hebai. She saw that he was worried. It was not until he grabbed her hand and spread it out that she realized that since she had been clenching her fists so tightly due to intense anger and various emotions that she didn't even notice that her nails were digging into her flesh.
The palm of his hand was already pinched by fingernails, and blood was oozing out, turning it purple and red, looking a little scary.
Ji Hebai looked at her hand and thought to himself that he should apply some medicine carefully later, otherwise the wound would become inflamed. At the same time, he looked at the culprit with an unconcealable coldness in his eyes.
"This incident started because of your parents. The blame lies with your parents. I don't blame you, but you can't escape responsibility either."
Zhong Xiaohua trembled at his gaze: "Yes, I didn't deny my own problems. No matter what, they are my parents, and they almost hurt Sister Zhong Qiao. I am also wrong."
Zhong Xiaohua burst into tears.
She should have expected this result, but she also had selfish motives. After all, Sister Zhong Qiao was such a good person and had given her the little warmth she had. If she said all this, there would be an inbridgeable gap between them.
She knew that she was disgusting and selfish, but everyone has a selfish side. Especially when she learned that her parents were about to marry her to that kind of person, she collapsed, so she didn't choose to confess the truth right away.
She thought, no matter what, she had to get through this hurdle first. Even if she had to work like a slave in the future, she, Zhong Xiaohua, would have no regrets.
But now, the truth is revealed. She is like a piece of garbage, disgusting, and the darkness deep in her heart is nowhere to hide.
Zhong Xiaohua opened her mouth, but a thousand words got stuck in her throat, and she just said, "I'm sorry."
Zhong Qiao glanced at her, feeling mixed emotions.
Because of the previous incident, she almost lost Wanwan, which caused her to stay awake all night. She also speculated that someone in the family had colluded with outsiders to plot against them, but she didn't expect that her aunt would be so vicious.
She did not blame Zhong Xiaohua. This matter was not something she could solve. She could not even protect herself. But she could not turn a blind eye. Zhong Qiao did not look back and went straight into the room.
When Zhong Xiaohua saw her reaction, she felt very disappointed.
Sister Zhong Qiao was a decisive person. After knowing all this, she would definitely not help her. However, she was in the wrong and didn't feel comfortable stopping her, so she left in a daze.
On the other side, Zhong Qiao rushed home like a stubborn donkey, and Ji Hebai chased after her. He did not stop her, but chose to follow her carefully. When she seemed to have calmed down a little, Ji Hebai took out the medicine box he had prepared for a long time and applied medicine to her.
The smell of disinfectant and iodine was smelled. As the cotton swab was pressed against the wound, Zhong Qiao frowned in pain and subconsciously wanted to retract his hand.
Ji Hebai didn't give her a chance: "You are very cruel to yourself. You can pinch your hands like this just with your nails. Now you can't bear this little pain?"
There was a hint of complaint in his tone.
Zhong Qiao lowered his eyes: "I was impulsive."
Ji Hebai said nothing, but his hands were a little lighter.
After a while, he said, "Do you want to help her?" The "her" here naturally referred to Zhong Xiaohua.
Zhong Qiao was silent for a moment, then shook his head: "I have enough to worry about with my own affairs. I can't save too many people."
What's more, she had never thought of helping Zhong Xiaohua from the beginning. Zhong Xiaohua's parents were determined to do this. As the person involved, Zhong Xiaohua didn't have the courage to refuse, so there was no need for her to stand up for her.
