"Brother Yong, don't..." Liang Xiaohe pushed Hu Yong's body, her hand weak.
"Xiaohe, I've been thinking about you all these years. Have you thought about me?" Hu Yong knew what was going on and whispered in Liang Xiaohe's ear.
"Brother Yong, please, it's all in the past. I... I'm already married. Please don't be like this." Liang Xiaohe bit her lower lip, feigning grievance.
"Then why did you come to see me today?" Hu Yong released Liang Xiaohe, his expression somewhat unpleasant.
“Brother Yong, my younger brother is seventeen this year. My dad is forcing me to give up my job to him, but I don’t want to.” Liang Xiaohe said, then stepped forward, hugged Hu Yong’s arm, and said, “Brother Yong, you’ve been the best to me all these years. Of all the people I know, only you can help me.”
"Isn't Zhao Tianyu good to you? I heard that Zhao Qingshan wouldn't allow you to enter the family back then, but Zhao Tianyu insisted on marrying you despite his parents' pressure! Liang Xiaohe, you're quite charming; you've made Zhao Tianyu so infatuated that he doesn't even want his parents anymore," Hu Yong laughed.
"Brother Yong, don't mention him. He's incredibly stingy. He couldn't even come up with six hundred yuan. What bad luck." Liang Xiaohe's face darkened.
"Okay, let's not talk about it then. Did you bring the money?" Hu Yong asked.
"Brother Yong, I don't have any money right now. Could you lend me some and I'll pay you back slowly each month..."
Before Liang Xiaohe could finish speaking, Hu Yong interrupted her.
“Liang Xiaohe, we’ve settled things back then. Now you’re asking me to give you another job without any proof. Don’t you think that’s going too far? If you can’t afford it, I can’t arrange the job.” Hu Yong took out a cigarette, lit it, and took a deep drag.
Hu Yong knew Liang Xiaohe's nature: she was obsessed with money.
If he pushes her a little, Liang Xiaohe will send herself to his bed.
Sure enough, Liang Xiaohe looked at Hu Yong with red eyes and a wronged expression, and said, "Brother Yong, I really don't have any money. If you don't mind, I... I'm willing to stay with you for one night."
"Tch!" Hu Yong scoffed, "Liang Xiaohe, you think too highly of yourself. A used woman who's been married before, you think you can be worth a job, and a full-time one at that?"
"Brother Yong, what do you suggest we do?" Liang Xiaohe asked.
Hu Yong stroked his chin and thought for a moment, then said, "How about this? I think it's a real pity about that child from back then. If you're willing to give me a son, I won't ask you to pay a single penny of your salary. After the child is born, I'll give you an extra thousand yuan. How about that?"
Liang Xiaohe's face paled.
Having a son? She can't even have a daughter.
However, in order to get the job first, Liang Xiaohe dared not tell Hu Yong the truth.
"Brother Yong, what if it's a girl?" Liang Xiaohe asked cautiously.
"If it's a daughter, just keep having more! Keep having more until you have a son." Hu Yongchang smiled broadly as he imagined several children with his bloodline calling him "Dad."
“Brother Yong, I still have a husband! How could I possibly have a child for you?” Liang Xiaohe said with a bitter smile.
“Zhao Tianyu isn’t the problem; he’s very simple-minded. Even if we stay together, he probably won’t find out. But to resolve this once and for all, you should divorce Zhao Tianyu! I’ll support you and the children from now on,” Hu Yong said.
“Brother Yong, I don’t want to divorce Zhao Tianyu. I’ve been living with his family for years. If we divorce, Zhao’s money and house will have nothing to do with me anymore. I’m not willing to accept that,” Liang Xiaohe said.
"That's true." Hu Yong took another deep drag of his cigarette and slowly exhaled it through his nostrils.
Liang Xiaohe didn't dare disturb Hu Yong. Liang Xiaohe knew that Hu Yong was about to "make trouble".
A few minutes later, Hu Yong finally made up his mind and said, "I'll think of a way to get Zhao Tianyu to serve ten or twenty years in prison. Zhao Qingshan's wife is sickly and might not even catch her breath. Then, I'll find a way to get rid of Zhao Qingshan. At that time, you'll be the only daughter-in-law left in the Zhao family, and everything they have will be yours."
"Brother Yong, you're really amazing," Liang Xiaohe complimented.
"Come on, let's go sleep with your awesome brother Yong." Hu Yong threw the cigarette butt out the window and said with a grin.
Hu Yong wasn't afraid of Zhao Tianyu, but he was afraid of Shen Yuejiao.
In order not to arouse Shen Yuejiao's suspicion, Hu Yong needed to go home early.
"Brother Yong, you're so annoying!" Liang Xiaohe half-heartedly resisted and rolled onto the bed with Hu Yong.
Outside the window, Zhao Tianyu clenched his fists in anger.
Very well, Liang Xiaohe, Hu Yong, you forced me to do this.
Zhao Zhenzhu tugged at Zhao Tianyu's hand and pointed outside.
Half a minute later, thick smoke billowed out of Hu Yong's window.
Someone screamed, "Fire! Help!"
"Fire! Help! Put out the fire!"
Hu Yong glanced out the window and was startled. He quickly pushed Liang Xiaohe aside and sat up.
Hu Yong remembered that there was a haystack outside his window. He had forgotten to put out his cigarette butt when he threw it away. Could it have set the haystack on fire?
"Brother Yong, what's wrong?" Liang Xiaohe was a little dazed when Hu Yong pushed her onto the bed.
"Hurry up and get dressed! There's a fire! Someone will definitely be here soon!" Hu Yong shouted, frantically starting to put on his clothes.
Liang Xiaohe hurriedly did as instructed.
Just then, the door was kicked open. Rushing in was Zhao Tianyu, looking extremely aggressive.
Liang Xiaohe's hands froze.
"You bitch!" Zhao Tianyu stepped forward and slapped Liang Xiaohe hard across the face.
Liang Xiaohe finally came to her senses and screamed loudly while clutching her clothes in fright.
After slapping Liang Xiaohe, Zhao Tianyu quickly snatched the clothes that Hu Yong was half-dressing and threw them outside the door.
"Brother, don't be impulsive. I'm Hu Yong." Hu Yong said hastily as he dodged Zhao Tianyu's fist as it clenched and swung at him.
"You bastard!" Zhao Tianyu cursed as he punched Hu Yong in the face several times.
No wonder my sister said she dreamed she was going to jail!
It turns out that it was Hu Yong, that wicked fellow, who was behind this.
And Liang Xiaohe, hasn't he treated her well all these years? Just because he didn't agree to Liang Xiaohe's request once, she and Hu Yong are going to harm him like this?
"Zhao Tianyu, don't be impulsive. Murder is illegal." Seeing that Zhao Tianyu looked like he wanted to beat him to death, Hu Yong hurriedly tried to persuade him, even though he was in pain.
Hu Yong didn't want to die; his good days were just beginning!
Zhao Tianyu regained his composure, reduced the force in his hands, and punched Hu Yong in the stomach twice more before stopping.
Zhao Tianyu was tempted to kill Hu Yong and Liang Xiaohe. However, Hu Yong was right; these two scumbags weren't worth him dying for.
Hu Yong lay on the ground, clutching his stomach and hunched over, filled with regret.
I shouldn't have been in such a hurry today.
Zhao Tianyu must have come with Liang Xiaohe. I wonder if Zhao Tianyu heard the things Liang Xiaohe and I said to him earlier, the things they were scheming against him?
