Chapter 186 Zhou Xia is in danger
Li Caiyun looked down at her bulging belly, nodded, and Zhou Yong went to the east room.
He had barely even stood firm in the east room when Zhou Ling came crying.
Zhou Yong frowned, and everyone else looked at Zhou Ling.
"Brother, please go and save my elder sister. She has been sold..."
Zhou Yong was shocked: "Being sold? What happened?"
Zhou Ling cried and recounted everything she knew.
When she left the brigade, Cui Shufen scolded her for no reason when she returned home. Zhou Ling was very upset and said she would stay with Zhou Xia for two days.
Cui Shufen originally disagreed, and Zhou Ling went to her eldest sister's house without even taking a piece of clothing.
But when she arrived at Zhou Xia's home, she was told by her eldest sister's in-laws that Zhou Xia had run away with a man.
Zhou Ling knew Zhou Xia's character well. She was not a bad woman, otherwise she would not have suffered humiliation in her husband's family for so many years.
Under Zhou Ling's repeated questioning, Zhou Xia's daughter cried and told her the truth, saying that her mother was sold by her grandmother.
After learning the truth, Zhou Ling had a quarrel with Zhou Xia's in-laws and asked about the whereabouts of her elder sister, but Zhou Xia's husband and parents-in-law refused to say anything.
The three of them insisted that Zhou Xia had eloped with a man.
Zhou Ling had no choice but to go home for help.
Zhou Ling knew the character of Cui Shufen and her husband. No matter whether Zhou Xia really eloped with someone or not, they would feel shameful if the news got back to the village. So she had no choice but to find Zhou Yong.
After Zhou Ling finished speaking, Zhou Yong clenched his back teeth and cursed the Leng family inwardly as a bunch of beasts.
"Brother, only you can save my sister now..."
Zhou Yong pursed his lips and glanced at Zhou Ling who was crying: "Go home!"
Zhou Ling's heart skipped a beat: "Brother?"
Zhou Yong frowned: "You go home and wait for the letter, I'll get someone to check on the situation..."
Zhou Ling felt relieved when she heard this. Zhou Yong said something to Li Caiyun and rode his bicycle to Hongqi Commune.
If the Zhou family encountered other things, Zhou Yong would not meddle in their affairs, but since Zhou Xia was sold, he could not just stand by and watch.
Zhou Yong arrived at Hongqi Commune in a hurry and knocked on the door of the dormitory where Cao Biao and other two lived.
Xing Laoqi opened the door and was stunned when he saw Zhou Yong.
"Why are you here so late?"
Zhou Yong cut to the chase and told the whole story. Cao Biao had a hot temper, so he picked up his clothes and put them on.
"I'll fuck Leng's whole family. Just wait and see how I deal with these bastards..."
Xing Laoqi picked up his clothes and said, "Catch them all back soon. I don't believe that I can't pry open their mouths..."
Liu Dazhuang put his hat on his head and said: "They dare to traffic in human beings. They must be tired of living."
The four of them rode their bicycles towards the Leng family. On the way, Cao Biao repeatedly greeted the Leng family's ancestors.
While they were on their way to Leng's house, Zhou Xia was in danger on the other side.
The candlelight flickered, and the atmosphere in Zhou Xia's room gradually became dull and depressing.
Zhou Xia, wearing a red wedding dress and with tears on her face, curled up in a corner. She held a pair of scissors in her hand and watched Cheng Zhigang limping into the house.
"Don't come over here, don't come over here."
Zhou Xia, who had not had a drop of water for five days, muttered to herself weakly. Cheng Zhigang stopped and looked at his newlywed wife with a look as if it was cold.
"What do you mean?"
Before entering the house, Cheng Zhigang had imagined all kinds of wedding night scenes, but he had never expected this one.
Zhou Xia looked at Cheng Zhigang and saw that he was tall and strong, and she couldn't help but fall into despair.
"Cheng Zhigang, how about we make a deal?"
trade?
Cheng Zhigang raised his eyebrows, a hint of amusement flashed across his eyes, and he seemed to be somewhat interested in Zhou Xia's words.
"What deal?"
His tone was somewhat nonchalant, as if he didn't take the deal Zhou Xia mentioned seriously!
Zhou Xia took a deep breath. She knew that she had to be extremely cautious if she wanted to do a deal with Cheng Zhigang. After all, he was a moody person who did not play by the rules.
After thinking it over again and again, Zhou Xia slowly said: "I will cure your leg, but the premise is that our marriage will not count..."
Cheng Zhigang's slightly narrowed eyes suddenly widened. He stared at Zhou Xia with a layer of anger on his face.
He hated it most when people made a fuss about his lameness, and suddenly his eyes became extremely sharp.
Zhou Xia's ability to read people's expressions was far superior to that of ordinary people. She could see all of Cheng Zhigang's emotional changes. She knew that this topic was his sore spot.
"Don't you want to heal your leg?"
Cheng Zhigang narrowed his eyes and clenched his back teeth tightly. His outstretched hands were clenched into fists without him knowing when.
Three years ago he was no different from an ordinary person. However, during a fight, he was betrayed by his brother and his leg was broken by his enemy. Since then he has become a cripple.
This is the wound in his heart and also his pain. Anyone who is familiar with him dare not mention his lameness in front of him.
Cheng Zhigang's cheeks puffed up slightly, and he squeezed out words one by one from between his teeth.
"Zhou Xia, I never thought you had this ability. I'm really impressed by you."
It was obvious that Cheng Zhigang was not really praising Zhou Xia, but was more of a mockery of her.
Zhou Xia pretended not to understand and made up a lie: "I was born and grew up in Huaixi Village. People in our village know a little about pharmacology. You should have heard of this..."
Cheng Zhigang stared at Zhou Xia who was talking incessantly, and felt puzzled by what she said.
Although he had never been to Huaixi Village, he knew that the villagers of Huaixi Village made a living by collecting medicinal herbs, mountain products and hunting.
As for whether the villagers understood pharmacology, he had never heard of it.
But then he thought, it was normal that some villagers understood pharmacology, because they had been dealing with medicinal materials for many years, and it would be bad if they did not know a little about pharmacology.
"Why should I believe you can heal my leg?"
He wants to be a normal person. No one wants to be a cripple all his life.
Zhou Xia looked at the ferocious Cheng Zhigang and her heart was in turmoil.
She said: "If you believe me, you have a chance to recover. If you don't believe me, you will have to spend your whole life with a limp..."
As she spoke, Cheng Zhigang's expression became very interesting.
He longed to be like an ordinary person and didn't like being called Cheng the Cripple in private. What he couldn't stand the most was other people pointing fingers at him. Many people said that the reason he was crippled was because he had done too many unscrupulous things...
Zhou Xia stared at Cheng Zhigang with her watery almond eyes. Knowing his dilemma at the moment, she thought for a while and said again: "Actually, this deal is not a loss for you. I will heal your leg, and you will give me my freedom. We will dissolve our marriage. If I can't heal your leg, at worst I will stay and live with you..."
If Zhou Xia gave up enough room for benefits, she believed that as long as Cheng Zhigang was a smart man, he would agree to make this deal with her.
In any case, Cheng Zhigang does not suffer any loss in this deal on the surface. He would not agree to it unless he is out of his mind.
Cheng Zhigang's gaze deepened involuntarily. He stared blankly at the eloquent Zhou Xia and suddenly realized that her personality did not match what he had inquired about.
