The Zhang Family's Aftermath
From then on, Zhu Qiuguo's nightmare began.
Zhang Pingkang would beat her at the drop of a hat, and his face was so ugly that it made people want to vomit.
This man usually seemed like he was made of glass, so frail that he looked like he was about to collapse at any moment, but when he clenched his fist and struck Zhu Qiuguo, he didn't lack any strength at all.
Zhu Qiuguo had seen how he was beaten into submission, so naturally she wanted to fight back. But no matter how little the Zhang family valued this son and brother, they wouldn't let outsiders bully him.
When Zhang Pingkang had the upper hand, they pretended not to see it, but as soon as he lost, Aunt Zhang and Sister-in-law Zhang immediately rushed up to side with their own family.
Zhu Qiuguo used her hands, feet, and even her mouth to tear and bite, spitting in their faces. But even two fists couldn't fight six hands, not to mention that there were two big men sitting at the table who didn't move, just watching the four people rolling on the ground with a sinister look.
They acted as if they were upright and just officials.
But Zhu Qiuguo knew that they would only be the pillars of the other three people.
The Zhang family must hate me to the core. I had vaguely hinted a few days ago that my family was very wealthy, which is why they tolerated me.
Now, we must retaliate fiercely.
The Zhang family also claimed all the debts owed to the factory leaders and the large group of people who harassed them that day, placing them all on their own shoulders.
She wasn't a kind person either, but when the time came, she realized that all her efforts had amounted to nothing more than jumping from a mountain of knives into a sea of fire.
Zhu Qiuguo is indeed from Haishi, but she has nine brothers and sisters in her family. Not to mention daughters, even having many sons wouldn't be worth much.
Mother Zhu gave birth to one child a year, including two sets of twins. She raised the children from infancy to adulthood, and the Zhu family was so poor that they were practically selling their underwear.
Of course, none of them can get married.
After the policy of sending people to the countryside was introduced, my parents didn't care at all. They just said, "Whoever can find a way to stay can stay. The house we live in will belong to him, and he will also be responsible for our retirement. The rest of you can live your own lives."
The first thing children born from the same womb, bound by blood, do is not to deal with outsiders, but with their own brothers and sisters.
In the end, Zhu Qiuguo's younger sister was the victor.
She is beautiful, but her sisters are no less so; they each have their own unique charm.
My younger sister hooked up with a man who had some power in the educated youth office. She said that as long as he could help her stay in Haishi and get rid of the other eight, she would marry him and bring her house with her.
However, he is responsible for taking care of his father-in-law and mother-in-law in their old age.
The man readily agreed, saying that a house was hard to come by, and all he needed was for the old folks to feed him.
None of the eight people who were sent down were from rural areas or military farms near Haishi.
Zhu Qiuguo's family was considered relatively close, or rather, her sisters were all in similar positions, while her brothers were basically all sent to various parts of the country.
However, her outstanding beauty only brought harm in the countryside. The son of the accountant of the brigade where she was sent to the village took a liking to her and wanted to marry her.
Zhu Qiuguo didn't want to stay here for the rest of her life, so she disagreed and was soon assigned to carry manure.
She gritted her teeth and persevered for a month, but she couldn't take it anymore. After the accountant's son stopped bothering her because he disliked the smell on her, the village's bachelors and hooligans started to swarm around her again.
Zhu Qiuguo cursed them as flies.
All she got in return was a few sarcastic laughs. The men said she was just a piece of trash, and it was only right that she was targeted by flies.
In despair, she remembered a man that everyone in the village, young and old, avoided.
He was tall and imposing, and looked quite wealthy.
Thinking that her younger sister had gotten involved with a man and was living a good life in Haishi, Zhu Qiuguo took a serious shower and intercepted the man on his way home.
She later learned that the man was a black market thug.
Running a black market and doing business are not simply the same thing. These people are doing it knowingly and illegally. Zhu Qiuguo felt both afraid and safe.
She enjoyed a few good days without living in fear.
But the black market thugs just wanted to have sex with women for free. They even told the accountant's son in private that once they got tired of them, they would let him have his way with them a couple of times.
Zhu Qiuguo heard this from under the wall outside the window and felt a chill run down her spine; she wanted to run away.
When the thug spotted him, he grinned, showing no fear whatsoever, and said, "If you're not afraid of being tortured to death by the hooligans who were bothering you before, then run away."
Having lost all hope, Zhu Qiuguo pretended to be the daughter of the brigade leader and staged an accident to implicate the Zhang family, who had come to the countryside to find a wife. She then tried every means to seduce Zhang Pingkang.
The Zhang family was at least a respectable family in the county town, with several workers. It was just one woman; it wasn't worth the thugs doing anything.
But this place is also a den of wolves and tigers.
There aren't many people Zhu Qiuguo can emulate. She thought of her younger sister again, and why her man helped her.
house.
After realizing the truth, Zhu Qiuguo, dragging her battered body, went to Li Yu, the thug, once again. She told him that the Zhang family had offended their superiors and were now just toilet cleaners, with no one to help them.
On the other hand, she said tenderly, "Brother, I was so sad when you said those things before that I wanted to run away. But after I got married, I realized that you're the only one in my heart. That Zhang Pingkang is a useless coward, but he has a decent job. Brother, let me have a child for you, so that this child can become a respectable worker in the future."
Li Yu asked suspiciously, "I've heard that the Zhang family dotes on their eldest son. Even if you give birth to my child, and it ends up with the second son, will you be able to get the job?"
Zhu Qiuguo didn't ask him what the Zhang family was doing, and snuggled into his arms: "Brother, you still want to freeload? Well, I won't be greedy, I just want Zhang Pingkang's job. I've already called you brother, so why don't you act as my family and help me get revenge? If you ask me, the Zhang family's house should be divided equally between the two of them and my child should inherit it."
Li Yu is rich, but he can't openly spend his money. Everyone is afraid of him, and he's actually a shameful scoundrel.
Good girls' families don't approve of him, and those who want to marry him are all scoundrels, like Zhu Qiuguo.
But if my child becomes a worker, I can keep some evidence so that they can support me in my old age when I can no longer work.
When you're young, you don't have to support a wife and kids.
After thinking it over, he felt it was worthwhile.
Using the name of Zhu Qiuguo's sworn brother, Zhu Qiuguo gave a nod and went to the Zhang family to beat those people up.
Everyone has their own area of expertise, and he is quite effective in combat.
The Zhang family originally wanted to go to the police station, but Zhu Qiuguo still stepped forward with a gentle smile.
"These are all family matters, the police station won't get involved, have you forgotten?"
She had gone to ask for help before, but was given the same perfunctory response. The arrogant attitude of the Zhang family was still deeply etched in her mind.
The Zhang family certainly hadn't forgotten, and they certainly hadn't forgotten how badly Zhu Qiuguo was beaten after she returned. It was after that incident that she secretly went to invite back Li Yu, this powerful figure.
They judged others by their own standards and didn't dare go to the police station.
