While Li Rui was dealing with the old man, Jiang Nian went directly to the room with the kerosene lamp on.
The door of the room was not locked. She pushed it and it opened, revealing a figure inside.
An old lady and a childish-looking adult man were standing beside the bed, where Zhou Xiaoju was curled up in a ball.
Seeing Jiang Nian, Zhou Xiaoju rushed towards her with tears in her eyes, "Doctor Jiang, are you here to save me?"
Jiang Nian nodded and asked her, "How are you?"
"I'm fine. They didn't do anything to me. They just kept persuading me." She held Jiang Nian's arm tightly. "I don't want to stay. Doctor Jiang, please save me. I want to go back with you."
It's not that she is a bad person, nor is it just that she is too young.
Instead, she watched her mother struggle in pain for so many years and even lost her life. Now she has no feelings for any man and does not want to get married in her life.
The old lady looked at this scene, a glimmer of tears flashed across her cloudy old eyes, but she did not force it any further.
It can be seen that this family is not a bad person. They agreed to release the person as long as the betrothal money is returned.
This request is not excessive. After all, it is not easy for anyone to make money.
Jiang Nian first paid eighty yuan for Zhou Xiaoju.
Before leaving, Jiang Nian asked the old lady a few questions and learned that her youngest son had a fever when he was a child and his brain was damaged. Since then, he has been stupid and his mind is not very mature.
Jiang Nian took Zhang Ersha's pulse and told them to go to Zhoujia Village to find him when they had time.
As for whether they believe it or go or not, it all depends on their luck.
They walked on the way back, and Li Rui was in an excited state the whole time. "Jiang Nian, you just made me fly. Is that the legendary Qinggong? I've only seen it in martial arts novels. Oh my god, it actually exists in this world?"
Zhou Xiaoju was still confused. She didn't know what martial arts novels were, but the words "qinggong" and "flying" successfully attracted her attention.
"No, you think too much." Jiang Nian said lightly.
"You are lying to me!" Li Rui exposed her, "Otherwise, explain to me, how can you carry a person and fly through the air quickly? If that is not Qinggong, what is it?"
That’s not the case. What he described was more like flying, but light Kung Fu still requires the use of leverage in the middle.
"You are dreaming."
Jiang Nian didn't want to discuss this topic with him, so he turned to ask Zhou Xiaoju, "If you go back to the village like this, your father will definitely not let it go. What are you going to do?"
Talking about such a sad topic, Li Rui was afraid of hurting the little girl's feelings, so he quickly shut up.
Even though I no longer have any hope for him, it's still hard not to feel sad after experiencing something like this.
Fortunately, she was determined and just sniffed before calming down again.
"He is not my father. I have no father and no grandfather. They rushed in to catch me. I wanted to hide, but I knocked over the herbs drying in the yard while struggling. Two cats rushed to save me, but Xiao Hei was kicked far away by the man..."
Zhou Xiaoju choked up, just out of concern for the little black cat and uncertainty about the future.
She said, "I really want them to pay the price. If possible, I would arrest them all. But last time, I only made them lose their jobs. You don't know, sometimes I really regret it. It's not that I regret making a scene, but I regret letting them have the chance to come back from the city. When they were not back, the grandparents loved Xiao An so much, but now they have the heart to watch their son abuse their grandson. I used to be jealous that Xiao An was a boy, but now I really feel bad. How could they have the heart not to give him food? How could they have the heart to let such a young boy go hungry to dig wild vegetables and cut pig grass? I know what that feels like, so I am so sad. It's because I was too impulsive that I have led to the consequences now."
