Chapter 496 Splendid Countryside 26
A few days later, Mr. Zhou discovered that many strangers suddenly appeared near his home.
These people aimed at their house intentionally or unintentionally, as if it was premeditated.
Old Zhou, who was already sensitive and suspicious, immediately became nervous.
On the one hand, he sent people to investigate secretly, and on the other hand, he was ready to move again.
But this time I was not so lucky.
Just the night before moving, several uninvited guests suddenly came to Mr. Zhou’s house.
When Lao Zhou saw these people, his face turned pale.
He was seen sitting dejectedly in his seat, and his wife also looked unhappy.
Except for the children who were ignorant and stared at the adults with puzzled expressions, everyone else had a worried look on their faces.
"Old Zhou, you can run quite fast!"
"Why are you hiding in such a poor place? If we hadn't received the tip-off, we might not have found you!"
A man with a goatee came forward.
Although this man has a beard, he doesn't look very old.
Probably in his 30s.
Although there was a smile on his face, there was murderous intent in his eyes.
Mr. Zhou knew that his good days were over.
"Now that you've found me, tell me what you want."
Mr. Zhou, trembling, picked up the teacup on the table, brought it to his lips with great difficulty, and took a sip.
When he put the teacup back, he didn't hold it firmly and it rolled to the ground.
At this moment, the atmosphere in the room became even more solemn.
"Old Zhou, it's been years since we last met. Why are you so polite?"
"I know you must miss us, but there's no need to smash a cup just to make us hear the noise!"
The man with the goatee looked cold and took a few steps closer to Mr. Zhou.
He poked the other person's chest with his fingers.
"Haha, Lao Zhou, maybe you didn't expect that this day would come?"
"Now that you are in my hands, guess what I will do to you?"
The man with the goatee had a mocking smile on his face.
Mr. Zhou was so frightened that he trembled and collapsed to the ground.
The moment he slid down from the chair, every member of the Zhou family in the room couldn't help but tremble.
Even the boss was so scared, let alone the younger ones like them.
"Are your legs weak?"
"Zhou Minghai, do you still remember what happened back then? If you could go back to those days, would you regret what you did?"
The man with a goatee sighed as he looked at everyone in the field.
The walnut in my hand kept turning.
The sound of walnuts colliding became the only noise in the field.
"It's my fault. Everything is my fault. Please let my family go!"
"They are all innocent!"
Mr. Zhou, the rich man, spoke these words tremblingly and stammeringly.
He may have done a lot of bad things in the past, but he loves his family very much.
Even someone like Zhou Ershao can be tolerated by Mr. Zhou.
What's more, there are other children!
Unfortunately, some mistakes cannot be made up for by an apology.
"Hahaha……"
"Old Zhou, don't forget, I begged you the same way back then."
"Do you remember what you told me?"
The man with the goatee paused in turning the walnut, as if he was lost in some memories.
It was not until a long while later that he took a deep breath and moved closer to Mr. Zhou.
"You said that the winners are the kings and the losers are the bandits, and the weak do not deserve to live."
"Do you know how much I hated you at that time? I wanted to twist your head off and step on it hard."
"I think one day, I'll let you experience the feeling of having your family torn apart!"
As Goatbeard spoke, he fell into madness again.
He paced back and forth in the room, seemingly thinking about how to deal with the Zhou family.
"But don't worry, Lao Zhou, I won't kill you!"
When Mr. Zhou heard what Goatbeard said, a glimmer of hope flashed in his eyes.
But soon, this ray of light was broken by the goateed man's next words.
"After all, besides me, there are so many people who have been persecuted by you, and they also want to take revenge with their own hands!"
The door of Zhou's house was quickly closed.
There were horrific screams coming from inside.
Later, several groups of people came one after another, and they came and left.
Whenever someone entered the Zhou family's house, there would be sounds of ghosts crying and wolves howling in the mansion.
Until the end, no one entered the Zhou family anymore.
The whole village became quiet.
Until dawn, white lanterns were hung in front of Zhou's door.
I heard that Master Zhou died, and several of his sons also died with him.
There was a large group of elderly, weak, women and children left at home. All of them were injured to varying degrees, but at least they were still alive.
However, Mr. Zhou Er, who had been imprisoned in a remote courtyard, escaped.
After this happened, he was remembered by everyone again.
Young Master Zhou Er became the new head of the Zhou family, responsible for shouldering the burden of the family.
But Master Zhou Er is just a useless man, although he adopted his brother's child under his name.
But his temperament became changeable, and the entire Zhou family was shrouded in a haze, gradually declining.
Lin Wanwan didn’t pay attention to what happened next.
Anyway, now that Young Master Zhou has become the head of the family, the Zhou family’s money will probably be squandered soon.
At that time, the people of the Zhou family will naturally flee separately.
Lin Wanwan felt very happy knowing that her enemies were not doing well.
Qingshan Village.
"Old man, why did the village chief come to see you just now?"
Mrs. Zhou took out a sack from the utility room, and inside the sack was corn kernels.
In ancient times, corn was peeled one kernel at a time by hand, so the corn pulp was well preserved.
Generally, after being dried, they are packed in torn sacks and placed in the utility room to be burned in winter.
Some people also pile the corn husks directly outside and cover them with straw or wheat stalks to prevent them from getting wet by rain.
In short, corn husks are also a treasure in rural areas.
"It's nothing serious. We just went door to door to inform everyone that the road out of the village has been blocked by heavy snow, and asked everyone to stay at home and not go out."
After Old Man Zhou told this, he also thought about reminding his son and daughter-in-law when it was time for dinner.
Because it was cold, Lin Wanwan stayed in her room.
Bored, she picked up the embroidery needle that she used to hate the most.
She began to sew small clothes stitch by stitch.
Zhou Jiaojiao would come to accompany her from time to time, and every day someone would shovel snow on the road between the two families and leading to each other's homes.
Either Old Man Zhou was bored, or Qiao Dali was worried about his wife.
So this path has always been kept very clean.
"Isn't the snow a bit too heavy this year?"
From the original owner's memory, Lin Wanwan learned that it does snow heavily in this place in winter.
But looking at the scenery outside, it seems that the snow this year is thicker than in previous years.
