Chapter 53 Dog-eat-Dog



"Zhang Hongwei..."

When Mu Huaixi heard this name again, it felt like a lifetime ago. She even hesitated for a moment before realizing that this was the nightmare of her previous life, and the poisonous swamp she almost stepped into in this life!

After she came to Hulushan Camp, she rarely thought of this name.

Seeing that her face was paler than frost, Ying Mingcheng felt as if his heart was pricked by needles, and he felt a dense pain. In fact, Wei Chengbao had called him at noon, but he had been undecided. Even when he was standing outside the clinic, he was still hesitating whether to tell her.

He still can't forget the moment he opened the door that morning and saw Xiao Xi, who was ready to fight someone. He was awakened from his dreams twice by the look in her eyes.

Hatred, fear, despair...

Ying Mingcheng knew that she had a shadow over Zhang Hongwei and even her uncle's family. Seeing that she had adapted quickly to the mountains and got the job done, he didn't know whether he should bring up these sad things.

When Mu Huaixi looked up, she met a gaze that was gentler than the moonlight. She stomped her feet and took the initiative to put her hand into the pocket of Ying Mingcheng's military uniform. "I'm fine, tell me."

Ying Mingcheng was stunned. He hadn't expected to be comforted. He wasn't wearing his army coat tonight; the pockets of his army green woolen coat pressed against his sweater. The cold little hand seemed to be pressing against his side, letting him know that Xiaoxi wasn't as indifferent as she said.

"After we left, Zhang Hongwei's family contacted the police station and said they were suing your uncle and aunt for marriage fraud. However, your cousin insisted that it was Mu Zhao who was originally given to the Zhang family, but you two agreed to get married on the same day, and Zhang Hongwei was tempted by her beauty and wanted to steal the bride away, so they put all the blame on him."

Just as Mu Huaixi predicted, after she left Zhangjiagou, the Mu and Zhang families started to fight each other.

"Wei Chengbao asked the Zhang family and the Mu family to confront each other at the police station. Unexpectedly, the two families fought each other. Mu Zhao's arm was broken, Zhang Hongwei's fingers were broken by Mu Huaimin, and Mu Huaimin was slashed in the head by the other party. Zhang Shaozi was beaten by Zhang Hongwei's mother and aunt. This time, both families and your cousin were detained together." Ying Mingcheng frowned slightly. This was what Wei Chengbao specifically instructed to tell Mu Huaixi. He didn't think there was any need to explain it in detail, but when he saw Mu Huaixi's mouth corners rising higher and higher, he still told her about the conflict that day in detail.

This was not arranged by Wei Chengbao.

The two families were arguing in the conference room, refusing to give in to each other. It was so loud that the sky seemed to be falling. Wei Chengbao had to slam the table to calm both sides down. He asked his colleagues to pour a few glasses of water to calm both sides down. Who would have thought that they would start fighting while pouring water? If the police had not pulled them apart, the injuries would have been more serious.

Mu Huaixi blinked. She could imagine the scene at that time. The widows of the Zhang family were extremely powerful. Zhang Shaozi and Mu Zhao were definitely no match for them. She had imagined countless times in her previous life what a fight between these two would be like. The fight between Zhang Hongwei and Mu Huaimin was a pleasant surprise. Her cousin actually still had the strength to fight.

"Then..." Ying Mingcheng was about to continue when he felt his palm being tickled by fingers that were not yet warm. He looked down at Xiao Xi in surprise, only to find that she seemed to be lost in a happy fantasy. The corners of her mouth rose higher and higher, and the fingers on his palm tapped happily from time to time.

Mu Huaixi was indeed imagining the Zhang and Mu families fighting. She could even imagine Zhang Shaozi being scolded by the widow of the Zhang family, her face flushed and her head swelling, several women tearing their faces apart and fighting, pulling hair and scratching their faces, what a chaotic scene it would be, how...

So refreshing!

"How did Mu Huaimin beat Zhang Hongwei? Zhang Hongwei is... a gangster!" Mu Huaixi was a little impatient. She felt relieved when she thought that Zhang Hongwei was also injured.

Should!

Why hadn't she thought of breaking his fingers in her past life? She had escaped, resisted, and called the police, but all she got in return was even more vicious retaliation. Zhang Hongwei was like a ghost that wouldn't go away!

But now she found that this evil spirit was not as invincible as she had imagined, and she did not need to foolishly risk her life. The fact that Zhang Hongwei had his fingers broken by Mu Huaimin seemed to have opened another layer of seal in Mu Huaixi's heart. She suddenly remembered the scene in the old house that day when Zhang Hongwei was pinned against the wall by the police, and he raised his hands in a fawning surrender and begged for mercy.

This was what she saw through the crack in the door when she was fighting with Mu Zhao, but she was too frightened at the time. Now she thought that Zhang Hongwei was just an ordinary person, a disabled person with physical defects, and a bastard who bullied the weak and feared the strong!

Ying Mingcheng didn't expect that Wei Chengbao really said that. The little girl really liked to hear this. He tried hard to recall and told him everything that Wei Chengbao had said on the phone.

Zhang Hongwei initially wanted to rush up and beat Mu Boai, but Mu Huaimin was a "filial son" and naturally would not let his father get beaten in vain. The fight between the two men was not as lively as that between the women. Wei Chengbao did not notice it at first. When the police who rushed back pulled them apart, one of them covered his hands and began to cry, and the other seemed to realize that his head was covered in blood, and fainted belatedly.

"Ha!" Mu Huaixi tried to hold back but still couldn't help laughing out loud.

Ying Mingcheng shook his head helplessly and continued, "Your cousin is very good at dealing with people. He took 500 yuan to Wei Chengbao and said it was a dowry prepared for you, but it was too chaotic on the wedding day and couldn't be delivered to you. In addition, when the Zhang and Mu families matched the birth date, it was indeed Mu Zhao's. No matter how much the Zhang family made a fuss, they didn't expect this. This confirmed that Zhang Hongwei was trying to steal the bride and disrupt the military marriage."

This was the first time Mu Huaixi heard about this. She was surprised but also felt it was very reasonable. No matter how much her aunt pretended to praise her in public, she was convinced in her heart that she was destined to bring disaster to her family and relatives. She was afraid that it would be unlucky and delay collecting money, so it was not surprising that she used Mu Zhao's horoscope to match her.

Usually, only the eight characters of the man and woman are written on the red paper for marriage, and at most the surnames of two families are added. This gave Zhang Shaozi a loophole to exploit.

In her previous life, she was caught and tied up by Zhang Hongwei. The Zhang and Mu families were more like a transaction of money and goods than a relationship, so naturally no one thought about these things. Even Zhang's mother, who always prided herself on being a smart person, probably didn't expect that she would be cheated by a country guy in such a small place.

Mu Huaixi smiled with relief, let out a long sigh, watched the white mist dissipate in front of him, and decided to let all the past events go with the wind!

But Ying Mingcheng didn't finish his words. "Your cousin Mu Zhao didn't participate in the fight and was the first one to be released. But she returned to the police station that afternoon and asked to get a marriage certificate with Zhang Hongwei."

Mu Huaixi looked up in surprise. No matter how the Zhang and Mu families fought, Zhang Hongwei could not escape the charge of gathering a crowd to cause trouble and trying to destroy a military marriage. Why would Mu Zhao take the initiative to ask to marry a person who was about to be sentenced?

"Mu Zhao said that she and Zhang Hongwei were in a free relationship and truly loved each other. She also accused your uncle Mu Boai and your aunt Zhang Shaozi of selling their marriage, demanding that they return the 2,000 yuan betrothal gift the Zhang family paid."
