Chapter 34: Rainy Night Butcher
The rain was pouring down, and droplets of rain hit the thin tiles on the roof, making people feel uneasy for no reason.
Zhou Bing wrapped herself tightly in the quilt, unable to fall asleep due to an inexplicable uneasiness.
Zhou Dagui and his wife, who were separated by a wall, also couldn't sleep. He Rongsheng was rummaging through the money he had hidden, with a very tense face.
Zhou Dagui was smoking his pipe with a sad face. He wanted to say something but swallowed it back after seeing his wife's frightening black face.
Finally, Zhou Dagui couldn't stand the extremely depressing atmosphere anymore, and said in a muffled voice, "Hey, don't count anymore. I'll go find Lao Er as soon as the sun rises and ask her to give us the money temporarily so that we can get through this difficult time first."
He muttered to himself again, "Look at what this has caused.. It's fine that the Huang family wants money, but Zhou Bing also needs to pay tuition. Where can he get so much money? The eldest son is so shameless. He is so old and still doesn't make money on his own. If it weren't for the second son's help, our family wouldn't be able to live so well."
"After this incident is over, you have to be nicer to the second brother. You were too much before."
He Rongsheng's face darkened and he slammed the wooden cabinet door.
"Second brother, second brother, you only have second brother in your heart? Shouldn't second brother be good to us? We raised her, she should know how to be grateful! What's wrong with giving her some money? She is completely mine, if I want her to give birth, she will give birth, and if I want her to die, she will die."
"You, you, you are talking nonsense! Are you her mother?"
Zhou Dagui was shocked by He Rongsheng's words and showed an incredible expression.
"So what if I'm her mother? I'm telling you, for my son, I can do anything! Go find Zhou Nuan tomorrow and ask her to return the money. If she doesn't, don't blame me as a mother for being rude!"
He Rongsheng had a gloomy face and his eyes were cold and vicious.
"No, go call Zhou Nuan home now and tell her that I'm dying and ask her to come back immediately."
Zhou Dagui, "Now? Are you crazy? It's still raining outside!"
"Just scream when I tell you to. Why are you talking so much?!" He Rongsheng glared at him coldly. He thought that the night would bring many troubles. So he might as well call her over at night, knock her unconscious, tie her up and send her to the butcher's house.
If anyone asked, they would just say that she had left on her own a long time ago and that the Zhou family didn't know where she went. Or they would blame it on the wild wolves in the dense forest. Since she had disappeared and was dead, there was no evidence, so even if they suspected her, they couldn't do anything about it.
Thinking of this, she felt better. She ignored Zhou Dagui's disapproving voice and shouted outside, "Zhou Chang, Zhou Chang, accompany your father all the way to Gujia Village and call Zhou Nuan back home."
There was no sound in Zhou Chang's room. Just as he was wondering, Zhou Chang rushed back from outside, half wet and looking panicked.
"Mom, mom! Something bad has happened!"
"What's wrong?!" He Rongsheng was unhappy. "It's raining, why are you running out? Go change your clothes and go to Gujia Village with your dad to call that damn girl back."
Zhou Chang's fat face trembled, "No need to go, they can't be called back. I just overheard what Yan Lao San said to his mother. Zhou Nuan's family will leave Gujia Village tonight, and they have already left."
He Rongsheng couldn't believe it, his eyes widened, and he cried out, "How is this possible!!"
"Why would I lie to you? I went to Old Third Yan's house and heard it with my own ears."
Zhou Dagui frowned, "It was dark and raining, why did you go to Old Third Yan's house?"
Weekly: . . .
He went there naturally to steal something valuable, and thought he could do it while it was dark and raining. However, he did not expect to hear this shocking news. He ignored everything and rushed home in the rain.
He ignored his father and turned to his mother, "Mom, what should we do? Zhou Nuan has cheated us of our money! You have to think of a way! If you can't come up with the money, the old man of the Huang family will definitely not let it go!!"
He Rongsheng's eyes went dark, but luckily Zhou Dagui supported her in time so she did not fall to the ground.
Her chest was filled with energy and blood, and she almost vomited blood. She kept stroking her chest and breathing heavily, but Zhou Chang ignored her and held her tightly.
"Mom! You have to help me. Old Huang loves money like his life. He can do what he says. Mom, I don't want to go to jail!"
He Rong was so angry that he pulled his hand away, and his forehead was buzzing.
Is it Huang Laotou's problem now? Zhou Nuan ran away, and the money was taken away, but she also took half of the betrothal money from Shi Tufu. She has no money in her hand now, what can she give back to Shi Tufu? ! Shi Tufu is not a good person, if they can't pay back the money, he will kill them! !
He Rongsheng's face turned pale. At this moment, there was a knock on the door outside the house. The dull knock scared everyone in the house and they stood still.
"Who?!" He Rongsheng shouted.
No one answered. After a pause, the knock on the door sounded again, "Knock, knock, knock."
Zhou Bing came over trembling with fear wrapped in his coat, "Mom, who's outside?"
He Rongsheng gritted his teeth and ordered Zhou Chang, "Go and take a look."
Zhou Chang was a bully who only cared about the weak and the strong. This strange knock on the door also made him nervous. His fat body trembled and he said, "I won't go."
"Useless thing!" He Rongsheng cursed, glanced at Zhou Dagui who was also shrinking, cursed inwardly, and resigned himself to opening the door.
"Here I come, here I come. Who is it in the middle of the night?"
She opened the door and a familiar figure in a raincoat appeared before her.
With an ugly face, eyes full of anger, and a butcher knife hanging from his waist, who else could it be but Shi Tufu? Shi Tufu was tall and strong, and his nearly 1.9-meter-tall figure frightened most people.
He had been slaughtering pigs for many years and had beaten his two wives to death with his own hands. He gave off an aura that someone was not to be trifled with.
He Rongsheng didn't expect that he would suddenly appear here and was stunned for a moment.
Butcher Shi glanced at her and said, "Old Zhou's, are you ready? Where is she? Hand her over quickly so that I can take my wife away."
"Ah? Not yet..." He Rongsheng stuttered.
When Shi the Butcher heard this, his face suddenly darkened. "Not yet? You haven't sent someone to notify me to pick them up yet? Are you kidding me?"
"I, I didn't ask anyone to call you..." He Rongsheng said, and seeing the murderous man in front of him turn cold, he shuddered and said hurriedly, "I won't lie to you. Give me some more time, and I will definitely send someone to your home in person."
Butcher Shi was impatient and pushed her away. "You've taken the money and given you enough time, but now you say you can't hand over the person. Do you think I'm a sucker? If you don't hand over the person today, I won't recognize this knife!"
He Rongsheng was pushed to the ground by him. Looking at the butcher knife that was shining coldly, his words were choked in his throat.
Butcher Shi raised his head and met Zhou Bing's eyes with fear on his face. The nervousness and uneasiness on that pale little face immediately pleased him.
He smiled sinisterly, "Your little daughter is pretty good, let's pick her."
Zhou Bing's eyes widened.
