Chapter 25 Chapter 25 The couple competes in acting skills
That morning, when Qin Bao brought Tian Ge into the Qin family yard, Zhou was arguing with Qin Xiong.
"Why should I swallow my anger? I'm telling you the truth! You men are all heartless! You dare to do it but not to admit it!" Zhou put her hands on her hips, shaking with anger, and her voice was sharp and piercing.
Qin Xiong clenched his fists, veins bulging on his hands. He breathed heavily as he glared at Zhou with resentment, clearly furious. He said coldly, "That cold winter day, you knelt and begged me for a bite to eat, saying you were starving and couldn't survive. I gave it to you, and now, in your mouth, that food has become a way to silence my affair with you! Feel your chest and see if you have any conscience left!"
They both saw Tian Ge coming in from the corner of their eyes.
Zhou suddenly stood up, walked over quickly, and took his hand. Such a slender hand burst out with incredible strength, gripping Tian Ge's wrist so hard that it hurt.
"Conscience! Conscience!!" Zhou's crazy look really stunned the people present. Her originally meticulous hair was messy due to the large movements. Tian Ge saw the red bloodshot in her eyes and couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.
Zhou was only three years older than him and even younger than his second brother. What kind of thing had happened to cause such a person to end up like this?
If he hadn't already known the truth, he would probably have believed Zhou.
"Not only did you cheat on me, a widow, but you also cheated on a poor mute! I just can't stand you. I want to tell you, what do you want to do? Kill me!" Zhou roared, "Do you dare to swear that you didn't have an affair with me? If you lie, your whole family will be struck by lightning and die miserably. Don't you dare!"
"I dare!"
Qin Xiong's chest was heaving with rage. He stood before the frail Zhou, his gaze piercing her. His arms, thicker than both of Zhou's hands combined, clenched with strength. He knew that punch was definitely not something Zhou could withstand. His voice was laced with overflowing anger as he spoke each word, "You've repaid kindness with hatred, you've resented kindness. Okay, you tell me I had an affair with you. When? Where? Who saw it? Tell me!"
Qin Bao was completely stunned. Seeing Xiao Tian's dejected and angry expression, he said anxiously, "I've been living at home all year. I live in the outer room, and my brother lives in the inner room. I swear, I've never seen you enter my brother's room."
Zhou scoffed and looked at Qin Xiong resentfully, saying, "Riverside, in the middle of the night, you chose this time to hide from others."
Then he questioned Qin Bao, "Honestly tell this dumb boy, did your brother go to the river to take a bath in the middle of the night? Did he?! More than once! Isn't it because you're an eyesore at home?"
Qin Bao's face was full of panic, and he looked at his elder brother with disbelief in his eyes.
He had indeed felt strange many times as to why his elder brother always went to the river to take a bath in the middle of the night.
The eldest brother is like a father. The eldest brother he respects the most is the one who taught him courtesy, righteousness, integrity and shame since childhood. It is impossible. How could the eldest brother be such a hypocritical person with a beast in human form?
"That's nonsense!" Qin Xiong turned his gaze back to the tearful Tian Ge, slightly hunched over, his face filled with anxiety. "Tian Ge'er, I do often go to the river in the middle of the night, but it absolutely has nothing to do with her. Believe me..."
...with a snapping sound.
Qin Xiong turned his face to the side and fell silent.
Tian Ge's fingertips trembled, and she took a step back in fear, looking at the strong man in front of her with sadness and fear.
Zhou was also stunned for a moment, then she pulled the corner of her mouth and smiled silently. Although her voice was not as harsh as before, it was also full of contempt and hatred. "You deserve it. If you want to deceive the young man of the Qingbai family, you should first consider whether you are worthy. You think I'm dirty, but how are you better than me?!"
They are a pair of dogs, neither of them is any better than the other.
Tian Ge struggled to break free from Zhou's hand, and in fear before she could react, he raised his hand, creating a gust of wind that finally landed a little distance from her cheek.
Zhou closed her eyes tightly, her arms folded across her chest and then dropped naturally, her eyelashes trembling, showing no intention of resisting.
The expected pain did not come.
Zhou opened her eyes and saw Tian Ge walk forward and push Qin Xiong hard on the chest, with her gestures so fast that afterimages were left.
No one knew what Tian Ge was saying, but everyone could feel the resentment in his eyes and gestures, the anger of a mute without a voice.
Even a rabbit bites when it is angry, let alone Tian Ge is a living person.
Qin Xiong retreated again and again, his heel slamming against the stone step under the eaves. With nowhere to retreat, he grabbed Tian Ge's wrist and said uncontrollably, "She didn't want any betrothal gifts at first and insisted on marrying Zhao the Hunter. Zhao the Hunter had a strange temper and would beat and scold her when he was drunk, but at least he gave her food. Now that Zhao the Hunter is dead in the mountains, she's set her sights on me again. It was because I was blind that I gave her a life-saving meal on that cold winter day. I rejected her long ago. I said I had someone in my heart, and yet she still wanted to hurt me like this."
Qin Xiong let out a breath of foul air, put down Tian Ge's hand, met Tian Ge's moist eyes, and glanced to the side, "And you, you are my husband-to-be, and you just believe her one-sided words. You really make me feel so disappointed. If you don't believe me and question this and that, then this marriage is not going to happen!"
Tian Ge was so angry that his chest heaved. Not only could he not produce any evidence, but the person who did the wrong thing was blaming him instead.
A dumb person is suffering in silence, unable to express his pain. He can only use gestures to curse or question others, but no one here can understand him, and he is the only one who is ridiculous.
Qin Xiong even closed his eyes and didn't even look at his gestures.
Tian Ge was really angry and kicked Qin Xiong's calf with the back of her clean foot.
Qin Xiong vented his anger and said such heartless words. He probably regretted it in his heart. He opened his eyes, stood there and let Tian Ge kick him twice. He put his hands on Tian Ge's shoulders and began to speak softly: "Tian Ge, I said the wrong thing. Listen to me and let me explain it to you. I..."
Tian Ge covered his ears.
If he hadn't seen the gestures he made just now, he wouldn't have listened to what Qin Xiong said.
She was really angry, the blood rushed to her head, her cheeks turned red with anger, and she looked at Qin Xiong reluctantly, feeling sullen.
Qin Xiong almost couldn't hold back his laughter.
Qin Bao rushed over and put his hands in front of Tian Ge, fearing that his brother would be angry and do something to Brother Tian. His face, which looked 70% like Qin Xiong, was full of unbelievable pain, anger and anxiety.
Tian Ge looked at Qin Bao's narrow shoulders in front of him, was stunned for a moment, and then smiled with relief.
Zhou stood aside, smoothing her hair by her ear. Her emotions had completely calmed down. She walked over to Tian Ge, a look of hidden triumph on her face. She let out a long breath and said, as if she had been through it all, "Tian Ge, although I ruined your marriage, I also saved you. You're dumb and it's hard to find a marriage, but your family loves you. You shouldn't have fallen into the trap of Qin Xiong, that bastard. He gave you such a generous betrothal gift just to trick you back home and torture you to death!"
Tian Ge turned around, feeling a little tired. He looked at Zhou's lips, which had turned pale red due to lack of food. He paused for a moment and made a gesture.
Qin Xiong stepped forward tacitly and helped him say, "I'm afraid your wish will be unfulfilled. Tian Ge said he forgives me and still wants to marry me."
"You're talking nonsense!" Zhou's eyes widened in an instant. Her eyes were so big that they looked a little scary on her thin face.
Before she could finish her words, Zhou saw Tian Ge nod.
The mocking smile froze on Zhou's face, and the previous crazy look reappeared in her eyes.
She stepped forward and tried to hold Tian Ge's hand, but Tian Ge took a step back and didn't let her hold it. She took a big step forward without giving up, trying to grab Tian Ge with her stiff fingers, wanting to take a closer look at the face of this idiot and mute, but was blocked by the two brothers of the Qin family.
"He's having an affair with me, an affair! Your husband is having an affair with me, did you hear that? Aren't you the smartest? You still want to marry him? Are you going to forgive him just like that?!"
Such an expression was too ferocious, and such malicious intent with unknown purposes was too overwhelming. Tian Ge frowned, retracted the trace of sympathy that always existed in his heart, nodded, and gave Zhou an affirmative answer again, breaking her fantasy.
"Tian Ge, you believe me, don't you?" Qin Xiong stood beside Tian Ge and asked as if no one was around.
Tian Ge nodded.
Qin Xiong smiled, "I believe you too. We are meant to be together. No one can separate us."
Tian Ge reached out and grabbed Qin Xiong's waist, hinting with her eyes that he should be more restrained. After all, Qin Bao was still alive, so she didn't let the younger generation in the family laugh at her.
Qin Xiong smiled and answered himself, "Okay, I know you agreed."
"Madmen, fools, you have all been blinded by pig shit, haven't you?" Zhou suddenly laughed and pointed at the three people in front of her, frowning. She was about to laugh or cry, but she was certain of her anger, which was so much that her body could not contain it. She rushed forward regardless of anything, punching with her fists, scratching with her nails, and biting with her teeth.
"Why?! Why? You bastard, bastard! Why do you treat me like this! You gave me food first, you provoked me first! Just because I'm a widow, I'm willing to give you everything. Why can't I be better than a mute? Even a mute can bully me!" Zhou felt dizzy and fell to the ground, holding her chest and gasping for breath, as if she would pass out at any time.
Qin Xiong had been passively resisting, and his wrists were scratched with several bloody marks. Just as he was about to push Zhou away, he didn't expect that she would suddenly become like this.
It was Tian Ge who reacted first. She quickly laid Zhou, who was lying limp on the ground, flat on her back and kept pressing her philtrum.
"Go and call the doctor." Qin Xiong said to Qin Bao,
Qin Bao couldn't figure out the situation, but he knew that human life was at stake, so he rushed out the door.
Zhou's hands became stiff and wrinkled.
Qin Xiong only knew some treatment methods for external injuries. It was his first time encountering this scene, and he was a little at a loss for a moment.
Fortunately, after a while, Zhou seemed to have recovered and weakly opened her eyelids.
Tian Ge broke out in a sweat on his back and fell to the ground, then Qin Xiong helped him stand up.
There was a noticeable red mark on Zhou's philtrum, and tears slid from the corners of her eyes and fell into the soil.
Her parents' home is far away from Qingshui Village. According to Qin Xiong's investigation, Zhou's family members also disliked her and drove her back to Qingshui Village many times.
The hunter she married was also a single-family household. After he died, she was left alone, with a bunch of distant relatives who wanted to occupy her residence.
It's all his own fault, but even hateful people can be pitiful.
Tian Ge couldn't bear to be merciful, so she asked Qin Xiong for help. She went forward to help Zhou, who was lying on the ground, up and helped her lie down on Qin Bao's bed in the house.
"Why did you save me? Just watch me die there." Zhou said weakly, her eyes following Tian Ge's face. She spoke toughly, but tears were always in her eyes.
