"Oh, I'll go out then." Ah Chou stood up awkwardly and changed a clean sheet for Zhong Mingwei as usual. Then he tucked in the quilt for Zhong Mingwei, blew out the candle, and went out in the dark with the tray.
In the darkness, Zhong Mingwei bit the pink pillow tightly. He used all the strength in his body. He bit it tightly, not daring to relax. Tears welled up in his eyes. If he relaxed even a little, the tears would flow out.
…
In the kitchen.
The high-necked dress was thrown on the firewood pile. Ah Chou was topless. She squatted in front of the wooden basin. She rubbed her neck vigorously with a handkerchief. In the afternoon, Lao Jiang's hand pinched her neck tightly. Ah Chou still felt severe pain in her neck. She rubbed her neck vigorously over and over again. It seemed that she wanted to rub off the pain, or drive away the fear in her heart...
As she rubbed, Ah Chou suddenly buried her face in her handkerchief and began to sob. She was very thin, and as she squatted, the bones on her back were clearly visible. At this time, as she sobbed, her butterfly bones trembled violently.
…
"Miss Duan, there is nothing in Ningguta that I, Jiang Jinwan, cannot get. Anything that I set my eyes on will be mine sooner or later. Do you think everything will be fine just by hooking up with a paralytic? Haha," In a quiet corner, Old Jiang cornered Ah Chou against the wall. With a tug of his fingers, he held the white jade Guanyin pendant in his hand. He kneaded the jade pendant and looked at Ah Chou's frightened expression with great satisfaction. "What's wrong? Are you still reluctant to part with it?"
Ah Chou nodded like a chick pecking at rice, wanting to beg him to show mercy, but she couldn't utter a word. She was so scared. She had been scared to death since she first saw Lao Jiang that night, and she was even more scared now.
"It's understandable that you don't want to part with the thought that my mother left behind," Old Jiang smiled, showing a rare gentleness. He put down the jade pendant and pushed Ah Chou against the wall. Before Ah Chou could react, he pressed his face against hers, and his breath with the smell of alcohol sprayed on Ah Chou's face. "Since you don't want to part with it, then give me something else to exchange it with."
Ah Chou tried desperately to hide backwards, with her head pressed against the wall. She didn't dare look at Lao Jiang. Her eyes fell on the large bamboo basket at her feet, where a tea can lay.
Lao Jiang also looked over, and then suddenly grabbed Ah Chou's neck. He exerted a little force on his hands, and Ah Chou had to raise his head and look at him directly. Lao Jiang said sarcastically: "Why? You want to exchange a can of tea for this pendant? Tsk tsk tsk, I don't like it..."
Old Jiang looked at Ah Chou's face wantonly and smiled wickedly: "Marrying a paralytic who can't do human things, life must be hard, right? Tsk tsk tsk, to be honest, I haven't tasted what it's like to be a noble lady in the capital. It's a pity that she's disfigured, which is really disgusting. But it's not impossible to make do with her..."
Ah Chou was shaking so much that his upper gums hit against his lower gums, making a creaking sound.
"hiss!"
Lao Jiang was too lazy to look at her expression as if she had seen a ghost, so he grabbed the jade pendant, suddenly raised his hand, and pulled it directly off Ah Chou's neck and stuffed it into his arms.
