The coachman tugged at Wang Qiang's clothes, signaling him not to speak.
Then he went over and brought his wife out alone, and Wang Qiang followed them towards the ox cart.
The ox cart was full of goods, but there was still room for three people.
In addition to the driver, there were Wang Qiang and his wife and another young man.
Several people rushed to the town in silence.
The rest of the matters are not Wang Qiang's business. The only thing he can bring back is his wife.
The ox cart dropped Wang Qiang and his wife off at the entrance of the alley, and Wang Qiang took his wife home.
He was silent all the way, and Jiao Niang followed him obediently.
He felt mixed emotions. Could it be that Jiao Niang could just go with anyone?
Moreover, he had only wanted to get his wife back before, but what should he do now that he has found her?
This is a female liar, so everything she said before was false.
If I keep her by my side, will she run away again? Or bring people to rob me again?
I have no money or food left. Will she stay and suffer with me?
Wang Qiang felt a little heavy-hearted. He had never thought about these questions.
But he was unwilling to let her go.
Not to mention that this was the wife he bought, he couldn't bear to part with her even because of her appearance.
It is already five or six in the morning, and because the sun rises late in winter, it is still dark everywhere.
Wang Qiang looked at the somewhat embarrassed girl in front of him and stopped worrying about it.
This is the woman I bought. If we can live well with her, then live with her. If not, then beat her until she behaves herself.
Having made up his mind, he roughly untied the rope on Jiao Niang's hands.
Because the girl's skin was delicate, the places where the hemp rope was tied were slightly broken.
But she said nothing.
Wang Qiang sneered. In the past, he would scream miserably at the slightest touch, but now, he can endure it quite well.
He pulled the cloth off Jiao Niang's eyes and imagined how she would argue when she saw him.
The girl shrank back, subconsciously closed her eyes and then slowly opened them.
When he saw it was Wang Qiang, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
"Brother Qiang." Jiao Niang shouted happily.
She really didn't expect that she could come back here.
Then, when she thought of what she had done, the smile on her face slowly disappeared, and she looked at Wang Qiang cautiously.
He looked at her with a dark face.
Jiaoniang's small hand gently took Wang Qiang's hand, tears streaming down her face. "Brother Qiang, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to lie to you."
After I finished speaking, tears started to flow down my face. My pitiful look immediately touched Wang Qiang's heart.
But he held back and looked at the other person with a dark face, wanting to hear how the other person would explain.
But Jiao Niang just kept crying, her tears flowing like they were free.
"Aren't you going to explain?" Wang Qiang said coldly.
"I...I..." Jiao Niang hesitated. She didn't know whether Wang Qiang would dislike her after she told the truth.
"I want to hear the truth." Wang Qiang said.
"Okay, I'll tell you." Jiao Niang closed her eyes. She had had enough of her previous life.
If Wang Qiang can accept it, then he will have a home in the future. If he can't accept it, I heard that there are places that can accommodate homeless people like them.
"Actually, I'm an orphan. I was adopted by an organization since I was little. They buy good-looking children and raise them..."
Jiao Niang didn't know where they went, but everyone came from different places.
"Finally, the organization disbanded, and the leaders were too busy to take care of themselves. The people guarding us discussed it and took a few of us away from the organization.
Along the way, he took advantage of our beauty to do some deceitful things."
In the past, they could cheat people out of money and food, but in recent years, everyone has had a hard time, so they will cheat whatever they can get.
Anyway, they just run away after cheating, and they specifically target farmers or people who look less impressive.
Because they have fewer connections, even if they know they have been cheated and want to find someone, they can't find anyone.
After they get what they want, they will hide for a while, and then move to another place once the news has passed.
In this way, I have been living a very carefree life relying on them over the years.
"So you've been lying to me all this time just to get a hold of my food and money. You didn't expect me to find you, did you?
Now that they've all been wiped out, tell me what you're going to do next." Wang Qiang shook off Jiao Niang's hand and said with a sneer.
He had already guessed that she was a liar, but hearing it from her mouth was still so unacceptable.
"Brother Qiang," Jiao Niang carefully held Wang Qiang's hand again.
"I have been very happy during this period, and I know you are really good to me.
I want to stay and live a good life with you, okay?" Jiao Niang looked at Wang Qiang pitifully.
"What? It's not enough that you cheated me once, you want to cheat me again? You have taken away all the money and food in the house." Wang Qiang said sarcastically.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I was forced to do that." Jiao Niang's tears flowed.
They were all raised by the organization since childhood, and the fear of them has long been ingrained in their bones.
"By the way, not all of them were moved away. I secretly hid some of them." Jiao Niang suddenly thought of something and walked into the house.
She pointed to the woodpile and said, "I secretly hid some food and money in here, and in the corner under the bed."
Jiao Niang looked at Wang Qiang with a face that asked for praise, "I really want to live a good life with you, but, but I dare not."
After saying this, Jiao Niang started crying again.
Because she hid some money and food, their harvest was much less, and Jiao Niang was severely scolded for this.
Wang Qiang moved the firewood away, and sure enough, he found a bag of grain and a dozen yuan hidden in the corner.
There wasn't much food, only about 30 kilograms, but it was a pleasant surprise at that moment.
Wang Qiang believed Jiao Niang's words a little, but still didn't say anything.
The atmosphere between the two was a little subtle, until "Gugugu..."
The awkward atmosphere became even more awkward.
Wang Qiang was upset yesterday and didn't eat much, and Jiao Niang didn't eat much after she went back.
Now they had been tossing and turning all night, so both of their stomachs were feeling empty.
"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and cook. Are you waiting for me to serve you?" Wang Qiang threw the rice on the ground and said viciously.
Anyway, I never intended to let her go. It's best if she is willing to live. It's she who doesn't want to suffer.
A bright smile appeared on Jiao Niang's face, she knew this meant she could stay.
He answered and ran over, skillfully washing the pot and cooking porridge.
Wang Qiang looked at her busy figure and felt a little dazed, as if Jiao Niang's escape was just a dream.
Now the dream is over and the person is back. In fact, she never left.
