Chapter 78 Persuasion



"Hongming, I can't go and tell Zhou Hongming about this. Think about it! It was you who insisted on paying off Qiuxiang's family's debt. Maybe Qiuxiang's family hates us to death. If I go to their house and talk about that matter, I'll be surprised if Qiuxiang doesn't chase me away with a broom." Li Cuilian analyzed the reasons why she couldn't go to Zhou Hongming.

Yes...yes! Zhou Hongming was dejected.

Seeing that Zhou Hongming no longer insisted on taking on this difficult situation, Li Cuilian breathed a sigh of relief. Asking a woman whose husband was still alive to accept another man's presence in front of her? Even if Li Cuilian's brain was stuck in a door, she wouldn't say such a thing.

Seeing Zhou Hongming's expression was a little depressed, Li Cuilian quickly came up with an idea: "How about~ let my cousin take care of this matter? My brother-in-law is the village accountant, and he is a cadre at least. It is reasonable for Chunjiao to take charge of this matter."

What the hell! If Zhou Zhigang knew I was caught red-handed last night, I don’t know how he would laugh at me! Zhou Hongming was depressed.

Last night, Zhou Hongming and Liu Moli were having so much fun that they were seen by the village old bachelor Zhou Daniu. The old bachelor was very patient and waited until Zhou Hongming and Liu Moli left before jumping out from the shadows.

It was dark at night, and Zhou Hongming had an idea. He immediately took off his coat and covered Liu Moli's face. Otherwise, Liu Moli's appearance would have been seen by Zhou Daniu.

Liu Moli was frightened. She held her coat on her head, but still held the bag of rice in her hand, and ran away in a hurry, one foot deep and one foot shallow.

Zhou Hongming didn't dare to say anything and had to let Zhou Daniu stop him and make conditions.

If Zhou Daniu hadn't said it, Zhou Hongming really wouldn't have realized that this old guy, Zhou Daniu, was a toad wanting to eat swan meat. How could Qiuxiang, such a beautiful young wife, be so obsessed with someone as disgusting as Zhou Daniu?

Zhou Hongming was stunned, but secretly glad that Zhou Daniu was thinking about Qiuxiang. If Zhou Daniu had asked for his wife Li Cuilian to sleep with him, Zhou Hongming felt that he would definitely fall out with Zhou Daniu.

Are you kidding! It's normal for a grown man to have one or two mistresses outside. If he wears a green hat on his head, he's a turtle.

Fortunately, Zhou Daniu asked Zhou Hongming for help, which allowed Zhou Hongming to escape last night.

Zhou Hongming returned home grumbling and choking, only to find himself drenched in cold sweat. The moment Zhou Daniu stopped him, all he could think of was: Damn it, the position of village chief is about to fall from his hands.

According to the situation at the time, as long as Zhou Daniu shouted "Catch the hooligan", several nearby families would definitely come out to watch. At that time, Zhou Hongming was not only accompanied by Liu Moli, but also by Liu Moli, who was carrying a bag of rice weighing about 20 kilograms.

Adultery? Stealing state property? Either one would bring Zhou Hongming to justice. Being dismissed from his position as village chief would be the least of his crimes. A more serious offense would mean Zhou Hongming would spend the rest of his life in prison.

Fortunately, Zhou Daniu didn't shout, but just said that he had something to talk to Zhou Hongming about.

Zhou Daniu did not see the cloth bag in Liu Moli's hand, otherwise, he would not have let Zhou Hongming go for nothing. At the very least, he would have asked Zhou Hongming to take a bag of food.

Zhou Daniu, relying on the leverage he had over Zhou Hongming, unceremoniously asked Zhou Hongming to persuade Qiuxiang on his behalf. How tiring it must be for a woman to carry a household all by herself? He, Zhou Daniu, didn't mind staying at Qiuxiang's house to help.

Do you mind? You don't mind!

Zhou Hongming was deeply shocked by Zhou Daniu's shameless words. It was the first time he realized that in Zhoujia Village, he, Zhou Hongming, was not the most shameless. Look at Zhou Daniu, he didn't even take a piss to reflect on his own morality!

Zhou Daniu had really thrown himself into the fight. He'd been hanging around Qiuxiang for two years, and she hadn't even glanced at him. Tonight, Zhou Daniu finally caught Zhou Hongming having a secret meeting with a woman. Although Zhou Daniu didn't see the woman's face, he could probably guess her identity from her figure.

Hehehe... Zhou Hongming is so bold that he even dares to seduce that woman? How could such a beautiful woman be so easy for Zhou Hongming?

Zhou Daniu was jealous, but also shocked by Zhou Hongming's audacity. Perfect! He could take advantage of Zhou Hongming's influence to get Qiuxiang. Otherwise, he, Zhou Daniu, would never get to taste Qiuxiang's delicious meat in his lifetime.

Zhou Hongming neither nodded nor shook his head. After listening to Zhou Daniu's conditions, he ran away in a hurry.

Zhou Daniu didn't chase after him because he knew Zhou Hongming must have agreed. Otherwise, he wouldn't mind going to the village to publicize Zhou Hongming's scandal.

Since Li Cuilian had made up her mind to let her cousin Li Chunjiao do the job for her, she put on her cotton jacket and went to Li Chunjiao's house without caring whether Zhou Hongming agreed or not.

As Li Cuilian walked to the door of Zhou Chunping's house, a strong fragrance wafted out from the courtyard wall.

Wow! When did Zhou Chunping's family become so wealthy? It's not even Chinese New Year, how can they buy fish?

Thinking of the fish she had eaten two months ago, Li Chunjiao felt a surge of greed creeping into her throat. She decided that when she got home, she would ask Hong Ming to go to the market and buy some fish. It didn't make sense that the Zhou family could have fish, but she, the village head's wife, couldn't.

Li Chunjiao swallowed hard, cleared her throat, and called out, "Chunjiao, Chunjiao, are you home?"

"Aunt, my aunt is not here. She went to her parents' home." Zhou Miaomiao was playing in the yard. When she saw the gorgeously dressed Li Cuilian, she knew that she was the village chief's wife and quickly answered.

"Oh my! Is that Miaomiao? Did your aunt say when she'll be back?" Li Cuilian's eyes lit up when she saw the neatly dressed Zhou Miaomiao. Honestly, back then, most rural children were filthy, either with runny noses or their clothes shiny with dirt. There weren't many little girls in Zhoujia Village who cared as much about tidying up as Zhou Miaomiao.

Seeing Zhou Yuanyuan looking so pretty every day, Zhou Miaomiao felt unconvinced. She ignored Gu Dahua's scolding and tried to emulate Zhou Yuanyuan, changing her clothes after wearing them for only two or three days. As a result, Zhou Miaomiao's hygiene habits were naturally much better than those of the other children in Zhoujia Village.

"Aunt, my aunt didn't say anything, but I heard from grandma that my aunt will be back today." Zhou Miaomiao was very good at reading people's faces. Seeing that Li Cuilian looked kind, she hurriedly told Li Cuilian what she knew.

"Miaomiao is so good! Auntie has a candy here. I originally planned to give it to Meimei. Since your aunt is not here, I won't go in. This candy... I'll give it to you!" Li Cuilian thought for a while and took out a piece of fruit candy from her pocket.

"For me?" Zhou Miaomiao was overjoyed and quickly wiped her palm on her clothes before stretching it out.
