Zhuang Pinghua ran out of his house and walked in the alley for a long time. This area was not as well-developed as Heping Alley, and there were streetlights only at long intervals.
The alley twists and turns, and I have no idea where I am.
Zhuang Pinghua was imprisoned for a month and suffered a lot of beatings. He became even thinner, like a piece of paper, and would be out of breath after running just a few steps.
Having been out of prison for so long without finding a job, Xiong Jing's mother's words were like a slap in the face to Zhuang Pinghua.
Zhuang Pinghua was still furious, so he kicked a stone on the ground.
Suddenly, a figure appeared in front of them.
Zhuang Pinghua narrowed his eyes slightly.
There are no lights here, so I can't see the person's face clearly.
"Zhuang Pinghua?"
It was a male voice.
Zhuang Pinghua frowned, took two steps closer, and saw the person's face clearly.
She had short hair and was even thinner than him.
Zhuang Pinghua is not a acquaintance.
"Who are you?"
After returning from the urban village, Yu Fang stayed at home to recover from his injuries. He only went out after the bruises on his face had faded.
I didn't wear a wig today.
Yu Fang smiled and said, "I've finally waited for you."
Zhuang Pinghua frowned. "Something's wrong."
Zhuang Pinghua turned to go back, quickening his pace.
But they hadn't gone far when the footsteps behind them quickened.
Zhuang Pinghua's heart pounded. He started running, but was suddenly grabbed by the collar from behind.
Zhuang Pinghua yelled for help.
The words were abruptly cut off before they could be fully spoken.
A small knife was plunged straight into Zhuang Pinghua's stomach.
One slash after another...
Zhuang Pinghua's mouth was covered, and with a look of terror on his face, he weakly asked through trembling teeth, "Who are you? Who are you...?"
Yu Fang kept moving his hands, and he smiled.
"The one who ended your life, you beast, do you even deserve to live in this world?"
Zhuang Pinghua's eyes widened, blood gushing from his stomach. He couldn't die, he couldn't die...
Just then, a noise came from the alley entrance.
Yu Fang narrowed her eyes slightly, "You're lucky, kid."
Yu Fang drew her knife and turned to run.
Yu Fang lived here and was very familiar with the terrain. He wiped the blood off his hands as he ran, making sure not a single drop fell to the ground.
Running quickly through another alley, Yu Fang climbed over into an uninhabited courtyard, fetched water, and washed her hands.
The noise outside grew louder and louder.
Screams erupted one after another.
People kept passing by this house.
Yu Fang sat under the eaves, but no one could find him.
At 11 p.m., Yu Fang took a shortcut home. He threw his bloodstained clothes into the brazier and burned them, and then washed the knife clean.
...
Zhuang Pinghua was rushed to the hospital for emergency treatment that very night.
When he was found, there was blood everywhere, his intestines had spilled out, and he had lost too much blood; he was still in the intensive care unit.
Xiong Jing and her mother stayed at the hospital. Xiong's mother even called the community where the Liu family lived from the hospital. Liu's mother and husband then brought Liu Qiangdao to the hospital.
The Xiong family had no money for treatment and hoped that the Liu family could contribute some money. Liu Qiangdao refused. His mother usually favored the Xiong family. He could ignore everything else, but not money.
They won't give you a single penny.
Xiong Jing kept blaming her mother, "If you hadn't argued with Pinghua last night, he wouldn't have gone out. If he had died, what would have happened to my baby! Mom, you've ruined me!"
Old Mrs. Bear hadn't expected any of this, and she panicked.
"I...I don't know either! I was only doing this for your own good last night, what's the point of saying all this now?!"
"Mom, you still dare to say that!"
"It's Zhuang Pinghua's own bad luck, what does it have to do with me! Xiong Jing, you're my daughter, don't get your priorities mixed up!"
Xiong Jing is now in a complete panic. She has no money at home, and now this has happened.
"Zhuang Pinghua hasn't made any enemies with anyone, so why is he being targeted!"
The police searched the area last night but left without finding any clues or further evidence. Their initial assessment is that Zhuang Pinghua got into trouble and was being targeted by someone.
Liu Qiangdao rolled his eyes and scoffed, "He even dares to steal from the supply and marketing cooperative. Don't you know who he's offended?"
Old Lady Liu glared at her eldest son.
Shut up!
Liu Qiangdao scoffed.
Xiong Jing's mother kept crying to Liu Laoniang, "Sister, you must help Xiong Jing! Her happiness in this life is going to be ruined!"
Liu Qiangdao refused to pay, and now that the murderer cannot be found, money is needed everywhere.
Old Mrs. Liu said with a troubled expression, "Sister, you know my family's situation. I really can't give you any more money."
Old Mrs. Xiong wiped her eyes. "You should look for Aimei. Aimei and her husband earn several tens of yuan a month. They must have saved several thousand yuan."
Liu Qiangdao watched the spectacle with amusement.
Old Lady Liu: "...Well, there's nothing I can do about it."
Xiong Jing and her mother immediately knelt down before Old Lady Liu.
"Auntie, please help us."
"Sis, Xiong Jing is pregnant, what are we going to do about her...?"
Having no other choice, Old Lady Liu went to find Liu Aimei early the next morning.
Liu Aimei is on leave and not working.
There was a knock on the door, and when she opened it, she saw her mother.
"Mom, why are you here so early?"
Old Lady Liu said with a serious expression, "Is Song Guomin at home?"
"No, I went to work."
"Aimei, Zhuang Pinghua has been stabbed. Give me five hundred yuan."
Liu Aimei immediately exploded, "Mom, what are you saying?! Why should I give you money? What kind of spell has your sister cast on you?!"
Old Lady Liu slapped Liu Aimei across the face.
"Mom, you hit me?"
"I told you to give me the money, not to whine."
Liu Aimei screamed like a madwoman.
