Zhang Cheng narrowed his eyes, and his voice turned cold:
"Zhang An, are you out of your mind? Did I curse her? Didn't you see how scary her belly is now? Do you really think that midwife in the village is capable of delivering babies?"
The commotion drew my mother out of the house.
Seeing her two sons arguing again, the old woman walked over, cursing, "You ungrateful wretch, what business is it of yours to interfere in my family's affairs? When I gave birth to you two, it was just a matter of pushing and you were born!"
Zhang Cheng's face was stern as he looked at Zhang An: "Er Ya is your wife, don't you even think about her safety?"
"Mind your own business! You already said Er Ya is my wife, how she has a baby is none of your business! Get out, get out of here!"
As Zhang An spoke, he reached out and pushed Zhang Cheng's shoulder.
Zhang Cheng grabbed Zhang An's wrist with his other hand, causing Zhang An's face to contort in pain as he howled in agony.
When his mother saw this, she panicked and started scratching Zhang Cheng's face with both hands, crying and cursing, "You beast! You even hit your own brother..."
"you!"
Zhang Cheng's anger flared up. He abruptly shook off Zhang An, looked up at Er Ya standing pitifully at the doorway of the main house, and gritted his teeth.
"Zhang An, I came here today because I don't want to see Er Ya get into trouble! Since you all find me annoying, then pretend I was never here!"
After saying that, Zhang Cheng turned around and strode out of the courtyard.
"You ungrateful wretch!" Zhang Cheng was so angry that he was panting heavily as he listened to his mother's relentless cursing from behind.
"Zhang Ergouzi! Er Ya is my wife, Zhang An's wife! You come here now to curse her, I'm not finished with you!"
Zhang Cheng turned around abruptly, his eyes as cold as ice.
When Zhang An met his gaze, the words he was about to say stuck in his throat.
Zhang Cheng, his face dark, turned and left, heading straight for the dealership.
He's starting to seriously doubt whether he's really this old couple's biological son. What kind of parents treat their own son like this?
Back at the dealership.
Zhang Da Nao and Zhang Jianhao were already waiting there.
"Let's go to the county!" Zhang Cheng's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot. He didn't take anything and just walked away.
Zhang Da Nao and Zhang Jianhao exchanged a glance, then quickly picked up their carrying poles and followed.
The basket contains the Polygonatum and Panax notoginseng that I prepared a few days ago, which are held in place by small bamboo strips.
On the way, the two kept their eyes on Zhang Cheng's face and hurried on without daring to utter a sound.
The mountain road was quite muddy and full of puddles, but it was much easier to travel than when the mountain was blocked by heavy snow.
The three of them walked silently for more than four hours and finally arrived in the county town before dark.
"Damn it!" Just as he reached the entrance of the guesthouse, Zhang Cheng slapped his forehead and cursed inwardly.
I was so busy being angry that I completely forgot about Li Yuanyuan!
"Never mind, I'll think about it next time." He shook his head, too lazy to think about it anymore, and went straight to book a triple room.
At the same time, on the dark mountain road, Li Yuanyuan wrapped her cotton-padded coat tightly, her body trembling like a leaf, and shuffled forward step by step.
Li Yuanyuan pouted, tears welling up in her eyes: "Don't be afraid, Li Yuanyuan, you're not afraid..."
My cotton shoes were already soaked through.
Their bodies were also covered in cold mist.
Li Yuanyuan felt that her hands and feet were almost frozen and she had lost all feeling.
I don't know how long we walked, but we finally saw lights in the distance.
"We've arrived in the county town!"
At this moment, Li Yuanyuan's lips had turned purple from the cold, and she was shivering uncontrollably.
cold!
A bone-chilling cold!
She didn't know where Zhang Cheng was either.
Since being assigned to Zhangjia Village, she has only been to the county town four times in the past six years, and she knows absolutely nothing about it.
It's so cold, there's hardly a soul on the street.
"South Street, Zhang Cheng's rented shop is on South Street!" Li Yuanyuan huddled under the eaves, looking at the house numbers one by one.
As she walked, she spotted the police station.
After thinking for a moment, Li Yuanyuan walked shakily into the police station.
"Comrade, are you here to report a crime?"
When the police officer on duty saw that she was pale, had purple lips, and was trembling all over, he immediately stood up and asked, "Comrade, are you alright?"
"Officer, do you...do you know where South Street is?"
The police officer on duty noticed her soaked cotton shoes and her cotton-padded coat, which were completely drenched in moisture. He quickly told her to sit down by the stove and then called out to the next room, "Sister Hong, there's a woman here..."
At that time, the police station was still quite concerned about the people's affairs.
Li Yuanyuan changed into a pair of ill-fitting cotton shoes, draped a military green cotton coat over her shoulders, and held a warm white porcelain cup in her hands.
"Comrade, what's your name? Where are you from? What brings you to the county town?" Sister Hong asked gently.
“My name is Li Yuanyuan. I am an educated youth sent to the countryside from Zhangjia Village. I came to the county town to find Zhang Cheng. He has rented a shop on South Street.”
Zhang Cheng?
Hongjie's heart skipped a beat. Zhangjia Village? Zhang Cheng?
That must be him.
"Xiao Xing, come here for a moment!" Sister Hong called out to the office outside.
"Sister Hong, what's up?" The police officer on duty walked into the room, glancing at Li Yuanyuan furtively, thinking to himself, "This girl is really pretty."
"Go to Director Zhao's house now and tell him that a female comrade has gotten separated from Zhang Cheng."
"Okay, I'll go right now!"
After the police officer on duty ran out, Sister Hong smiled and looked at Li Yuanyuan: "Little sister, don't worry, as long as Zhang Cheng is in the county, I will definitely help you find him tonight."
"Thank you, sister!"
