Chapter 187 What should she do next?
Cheng Zhigang and Zhou Xia met for the first time at a supply and marketing cooperative, and he fell in love with her at first sight.
After asking someone for information, he learned about Zhou Xia's living conditions, and Cheng Zhigang used money to buy her over.
It is said that Zhou Xia is a weak and vulnerable person, but now it seems that is not the case. His newlywed wife seems to be a hidden person.
Cheng Zhigang frowned when he thought of this. He looked at Zhou Xia and asked, "Are you Zhou Xia?"
Zhou Xia frowned after hearing what Cheng Zhigang said: "If I'm not Zhou Xia, who am I?"
Cheng Zhigang stared at Zhou Xia again and again, and he was sure that she was the wife he had chosen.
"How long will it take to heal my leg?"
When Zhou Xia heard this, she breathed a sigh of relief and her tense nerves finally settled.
It didn't matter that she relaxed, but the hunger made her dizzy.
"We'll talk about the treatment plan later. Can you give me something to eat now?"
She hadn't had a drop of water for five days and was starving.
Cheng Zhigang's handsome eyebrows frowned, he turned around and limped out of the house.
Zhou Xia let out a long sigh and hid the scissors in her hand.
If Cheng Zhigang wanted to force himself on her, Zhou Xia wouldn't mind making him a eunuch.
While she was daydreaming, Cheng Zhigang limped in with a bowl and brought in two large snow-white steamed buns and a dish of stir-fried pork with green peppers.
Zhou Xia's eyes sparkled with hunger. She walked to the edge of the kang and picked up a steamed bun: "Thank you."
After she finished speaking, she took a big bite of the steamed bun, which made Cheng Zhigang frown again.
"How many days have you not eaten?"
Zhou Xia didn't have time to answer him. The only thing she wanted to do now was to fill her stomach.
Seeing this, Cheng Zhigang didn't say much, but sat quietly on the stool, watching Zhou Xia wolfing down her food.
After eating a steamed bun, Zhou Xia choked and stretched her neck with her eyes wide open. She spoke incoherently: "Water, water, water!"
She ate so fast that her cheeks swelled like little squirrels and she almost choked to death.
Cheng Zhigang suddenly laughed, thinking that Zhou Xia was a little cute, so he poured her an enamel teacup of water.
Zhou Xia drank half a teacup of water in a few gulps, and she smiled a little embarrassedly.
Cheng Zhigang stared at her for a few seconds, then his eyes casually moved away from her face.
"Tell me about the treatment plan."
Zhou Xia picked up another steamed bun and said, "First I need to break your legs."
As soon as she said this, the temperature in the room seemed to drop from above zero to below zero. Zhou Xia looked up and her heart skipped a beat.
Cheng Zhigang’s handsome face couldn’t be any darker, and his eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of ice.
Zhou Xia held a steamed bun in one hand. She looked at Cheng Zhigang who was sitting on a stool. The sound of her swallowing saliva rang out in the silent room.
"Don't be angry, just listen to me explain..."
Zhou Xia didn't have the ability to cure Cheng Zhigang, she was just trying to delay time and find a chance to escape.
Zhou Xia made up some more nonsense, and Cheng Zhigang's expression eased slightly after hearing it.
"You mean my leg bone is just crooked? How do you know?"
Zhou Xia's eyes dropped, she was too guilty to look Cheng Zhigang in the eye.
Then she slowly took a bite of the steamed bun, her brain working at high speed.
She swallowed the food in her mouth and glanced at Cheng Zhigang: "The reason why I am sure that your leg bones are crooked is because I can see it from the way you walk..."
Zhou Xia shamelessly deceived Cheng Zhigang, otherwise she would not have a good explanation.
After hearing what she said, Cheng Zhigang had doubts in his mind one after another.
Obviously, he couldn't completely believe what Zhou Xia said. After all, they were not familiar with each other. Cheng Zhigang knew very well that Zhou Xia didn't want to marry him.
Various possibilities flashed through his mind. Cheng Zhigang narrowed his eyes and his tone made it impossible to tell whether he was happy or angry.
"Zhou Xia, don't think I can't see your little tricks. Do you think you can run away by breaking my legs? I tell you that's a dream. You are my wife, Cheng Zhigang, who married me with real money. If you dare to have second thoughts about me, I will make the Leng family pay a heavy price..."
Zhou Xia looked at Cheng Zhigang who was threatening her and thought: Using the Leng family to threaten me? His wishful thinking was wrong.
The Leng family is heartless and ungrateful. Zhou Xia is not a saint and cannot sympathize with such heartless people.
Zhou Xia took a bite of the dish and tightened her grip on the chopsticks. Seeing that she was still in the mood to eat, Cheng Zhigang didn't know whether to say that she had a strong character or was heartless.
"I know you are powerful and it is impossible for me to escape, so don't worry, I won't run away. After all, no matter how bad the Leng family is, my children are all in the Leng family..."
How much truth there was in Zhou Xia's words was perhaps only known to herself. After hearing what she said, Cheng Zhigang's handsome brows furrowed so sharply that they could pinch a fly to death.
Why?
That's because Zhou Xia's tone was too calm, as if she was talking about a trivial matter.
From this point, Cheng Zhigang could feel that the Leng family was not Zhou Xia's weak point. With this realization, he felt very unhappy.
"Just so you know."
Cheng Zhigang's words made Zhou Xia smile. She looked heartless, and then she continued to eat and drink.
"So you agree to my treatment plan?"
agree?
How is that possible?
Cheng Zhigang is not stupid, otherwise he would not have become a bully who does all kinds of evil.
He has many tricks up his sleeve, so how could he easily believe what Zhou Xia said?
"Why haven't I heard before that you know medicine?"
Zhou Xia knew that Cheng Zhigang was not easy to control, so she could only counter his moves.
"You should know the situation of the Leng family. They are all like vampires. I dare not let them know that I know medical skills..."
The Leng family is greedy and they are all scoundrels. Only Cheng Zhigang can control those people in the Leng family. Others can't afford to get involved with the Leng family.
Cheng Zhigang was silent for a few seconds. When he came to his senses, he looked at Zhou Xia and said, "Since you have been hiding the fact that you know medical skills, why did you reveal it now?"
"You should know that the Leng family is a den of wolves. Before I can protect myself, I cannot make my medical skills public, otherwise there will be a lot of trouble waiting for me..."
Zhou Xia's explanation made sense. After all, Cheng Zhigang had privately asked someone to investigate the Leng family's situation and knew very well what kind of life Zhou Xia was living.
Cheng Zhigang narrowed his eyes again. Zhou Xia was eating a steamed bun, and her vague gaze fell on his face.
The room fell silent. Cheng Zhigang stopped talking and Zhou Xia said nothing either.
About three or five minutes later, shouting was heard outside the gate.
Cheng Zhigang was called away by his younger brother. Before leaving, he intimidated and threatened Zhou Xia as if he was afraid that she would escape, and locked the outer door.
Zhou Xia breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the teacup and drank some water, then lay down on the kang with her legs spread out.
What should she do next?
Thinking about these questions made Zhou Xia feel like her head was as big as a bell. She couldn't stop sighing, and the sound of unlocking the door made her sit up excitedly.
With a creaking sound——
The door was opened. Zhou Xia looked in the candlelight and saw two strangers coming in. She couldn't help but become alert.
