Wu Haotian comforted him, "Just don't ask about your assets, including our assets."
Zhong Xiong nodded, "Yes, that's a good idea. From now on, you are not allowed to come to my place to show off what you bought. Be careful that I accidentally smear you."
Wang Qiao and Ma Zhao immediately covered their mouths. Zhong Xiong sometimes couldn't hold back his words.
Wu Haotian said to Chen Ou, "Don't be careless. Money can move people's hearts. Zhou Xiang is right. People tend to rob the rich and help the poor. If you are very rich and you don't help the poor Yue family, you are rich but unkind."
Chen Ou nodded, "I know. What we've revealed now is enough. I'll save all the property I buy for my children in the future."
Zhu Hang urged, "Alright, the meeting is over. Hurry up and go to the county to set up your stall. It's already three o'clock."
Chen Ou went back upstairs to call his wife. Tang Mei had her eyes open and was not asleep, so he asked her to get up and go back to the county.
"Pack your clothes and don't run back and forth to the county. It's inconvenient for you."
"good."
Seeing that she was in a bad mood, Chen Ou whispered to her about the Fei family.
"So, these things are not suitable for you women to participate in. We men just need to know about them. Besides, Zhong Xiong came to us on his own initiative. How embarrassing would it be for him if you participated in the meeting?
If you are asked to participate in the meeting, my sister-in-law must also participate. If she doesn't participate, don't think too much about it."
Tang Mei nodded. "I see. Maybe it's because of the pregnancy! I was having all sorts of crazy thoughts. Now that you've told me, I feel relieved."
Chen Ou hugged her gently and told himself that it was just a white lie. He would keep it a secret until the child got married. Anyway, the things would be left to the child.
When they returned to the county town, Tang Min and Ma Gang had already prepared the skewers and were just waiting for them to come back before setting up their stall.
Tang Mei felt embarrassed, "Cousin, we came back late today."
"It's okay, it's not hard to make skewers, and it's not convenient for you to run back and forth!"
"We're staying back at the Water Conservancy Bureau today. Will you come back with us after get off work?"
Tang Min shook her head. "No, I already took the advance from my mother-in-law and bought a bicycle. Why shouldn't I let your cousin-in-law come pick me up?"
Tang Mei felt guilty for her previous wild thoughts. What kind of life did her cousin live? What kind of life did she live? She should be content.
Chen Ou asked Ma Gang, "Zhou Chao hasn't arrived yet?"
Ma Gang shook his head.
Chen Ou is a little worried. When he finished setting up his stall last year, he told Zhou Chao that he would open the stall in April this year. After following Wu Haotian on business for a while, he said he wanted to go back to see his mother. He has not come back since then and there is no news. Could something have happened to her?
After closing the stall in the evening, Chen Ou went to Zuo's house, found Zuo Heng, and asked him to inform Zhou Xiang about this.
Zuo Heng also knew how hateful the eldest uncle of the Zhou family was and how annoying his two sons were, and he was also worried that something might happen.
The next morning, he rode his bike to Zhou's house to tell Zhou Xiang.
Zhou wanted to know that his second cousin cared a lot about his eldest aunt, so he went back to see his mother during the Chinese New Year. He was sure of that, but he had no idea what his eldest and third cousins would do.
"Third brother, when you go to school, ride your bike to ask for leave for me. Zuo Heng, ride your bike to take me to the station."
Zhou's mother was also anxious. She quickly took two boiled eggs and stuffed them into her little girl's hands, saying, "Eat them on the way."
Zhou Xiang packed up the eggs, sat on the back seat of the left-hand bicycle with empty hands.
Zuo Heng sent her to the station and turned the car around and went home. Zhou wanted to catch the bus to Hao Town.
Along the way, Zhou thought a lot. His third cousin resented the flogging. The evil of human nature is uncontrollable. Sometimes, things happen one after another and conversations follow one another, leading to major incidents.
When people from Zhoujia Village came on the sixth day of the New Year, my aunt and uncle did not mention this matter, and I did not think of asking my aunt.
Amid her anxiety, the car arrived at the fork in the road to Zhoujia Village.
After Zhou Xiang got off the car, he saw two people pulling each other on the road leading to Zhoujia Village.
With her current 5.0 vision, she could clearly see that the two people pulling each other in the distance were her eldest cousin and third cousin.
Zhou Xiang immediately disappeared into space. The road was empty with only the two of them. If they hadn't been busy pulling each other, they would have discovered Zhou Xiang long ago.
Soon, the two people who were pulling each other came near Zhou Xiang.
"Brother, don't worry about it. I know what's going on. Go back quickly."
"Third brother, if things go on like this for a long time, something serious will happen. Don't be so stubborn."
"No, I will pay attention. Please don't follow me anymore."
Zhou Yong stopped helplessly and watched Zhou Yue continue walking out of the village.
Zhou Xiang hesitated for a moment, put on his invisibility cloak, and followed Zhou Yue.
I followed him all the way to the next village. After entering the village, he walked straight to a dilapidated house.
I knocked on the door and it opened from the inside.
A young man who looked like a second-rate person saw him and asked impatiently, "Why are you here again?"
"I'm coming to see him."
"Bah! Look at him? Do you think I don't know that he's your own brother? You're willing to torture him. Are you still human?"
When Zhou Xiang heard this, his eyes narrowed. It seemed that his second cousin was brought here by Zhou Yue?
"Don't talk nonsense. You're paid to do the job. Why are you talking so much?"
Hearing this, the second-rate guy had no choice but to open the door for him. This Zhou Yue was like a madman, so it was better not to provoke him.
Zhou Yue entered the yard and walked towards the dilapidated room in the west.
After the door was pushed open, when Zhou Xiang saw the scene inside, he wanted to kill this demon immediately.
In the room, there was only a pile of straw in the corner. The skinny man on the straw, who else could it be but my second cousin?
Zhou Yue walked into the room, looked at the people inside, and said with a sinister smile: "My good brother, I come to see you again."
The person on the straw weakly raised his eyelids, then closed them again.
"Haha, let's see how long you can endure this. Do you expect that stinky girl Zhou Xiang to come and save you? I tell you, it's impossible. No one knows you are in my hands, and no one knows where you are. When you starve to death, I will dig a hole for you and bury you."
Zhou Chao said with difficulty: "If I die, you won't be able to find the money."
"Humph! If it weren't for that money, would you still be alive today?"
Since his second cousin was not in danger of life at the moment, Zhou Xiang entered the space and started to squeeze out the juice. He had to find someone to make a press-type juicer.
After the juice was diluted, Zhou Yue was no longer in the room. Zhou Xiang waited for a while before taking off his invisibility cloak and leaving the space.
Squatting down beside his second cousin, Zhou Xiang softly called out, "Second cousin."
Zhou Chao opened his eyelids immediately and saw Zhou Xiang. He wanted to speak anxiously, but he was too weak to speak. The more anxious he was, the less he could say.
"Second cousin, don't worry. I know what you're worried about. I'm not afraid. Don't speak, or you'll be discovered. I'll give you some water, and then I'll go back to Zhoujia Village to find someone to rescue you. You have to hold on."
