"It seems that the man is going back to the army, so he is in such a hurry." Qin Xiaolan couldn't help but sound sour when she said this.
Lu Zechen was more diligent in running around Xiaojia Village than his own family. Every day when he had nothing to do, he would come to help the Xiao family chop firewood and fetch water. No other son-in-law was as attentive to them as he was.
Not only that, he always brings big and small bags every time he comes to visit. Not to mention how envious the neighbors are. They all say that the Xiao family has made a good choice of son-in-law. He is rich, has free time, and is filial. It is really hard to find a good match even with a lantern.
In addition to these, what made Qin Xiaolan jealous the most was that Lu Zechen was a second lieutenant in the army. Not only that, he was also handsome.
Qin Xiaolan is not like those ignorant women and children in the village who don't know what second lieutenant means.
There are not many people in the country who can hold such an official title at this age. It can be said that his future is limitless. He is definitely a rich son-in-law. Although his background is a bit poor, he has his own abilities.
If she was asked to marry Lu Zechen, she would be willing and would not despise his rural background.
"Oh, marrying a poor soldier is nothing big." Su Tiantian raised her chin and curled her lips in disdain.
Upon hearing this, Qin Xiaolan knew that Su Tiantian definitely didn't know what the second lieutenant meant, and snorted coldly, "What do you know, idiot."
After saying that, he left her and walked forward.
"Why are you being so rude? Bah, do you really think you're the lady of the old days and I'm your maid? You can't even lend me two hundred dollars, huh."
Su Tiantian rolled her eyes, took two steps forward, and bumped into Qin Xiaolan with her shoulder as she passed her.
"Hey, Su Tiantian, don't you have eyes when you walk?" Qin Xiaolan shouted angrily, covering her arm that was hurt by the collision.
Su Tiantian acted as if she didn't hear anything. She just returned the tools and left.
Qin Xiaolan wanted to say something, but was stopped by Xiao Fangyun's impatient voice.
"What are you arguing about? If you don't want to return the items now, just queue up in the back." Xiao Fangyun knocked on the table and warned.
Qin Xiaolan could only stamp her feet on the spot, snorted, changed her utensils, and walked in the opposite direction of Su Tiantian. She wanted to buy a pound of egg cakes from the supply and marketing cooperative and bring them to show off in front of Su Tiantian.
She wanted to see how Su Tiantian would humbly beg her to give her a piece of rice.
Qin Xiaolan couldn't help but put on a smug and determined smile, it was obvious that she had done this many times and it always worked.
But her idea this time was dashed because Su Tiantian didn't come back until dark.
*
Inside an abandoned bungalow in Sang'an County, the sky was dim, but only two kerosene lamps were lit, their wicks swaying precariously, as if a stronger wind would blow them out.
"Wake her up." A low, hoarse voice slowly sounded in the darkness.
"yes."
Immediately afterwards, two sharp slaps echoed in the closed room.
While Su Tiantian was sleeping, she felt someone slapping her face several times. The burning pain forced her to wake up. As a result, when she opened her eyes, she was faced with a face with a hideous scar.
"Ah." A scream rang out, and Su Tiantian almost fainted from fright.
"You bitch, behave yourself. If you keep yelling, I'll kill you right here." The scarred man slapped Guo Xian again with a fierce expression.
Su Tiantian finally regained consciousness a little at this time. She realized that her hands and feet were tied and she was in such a horrible environment. She couldn't help crying out of fear.
"What are you going to do? I have no money, I really have no money, wuwuwu." Su Tiantian subconsciously felt that the other party came for money, and quickly begged for mercy.
"Bah, who wants your little money? We asked our brother to ask you something." The scarred man grabbed Su Tiantian's long hair, exposing her entire face to the air.
Su Tiantian's scalp was pulled so hard that it hurt, but she didn't dare to cry out loud. She could only look forward obediently.
I saw a man sitting next to the table in front of me, his entire upper body hidden in the darkness, making it impossible to see his appearance. There were also several ferocious-looking men standing next to him.
On the other side lay a man with his hands and feet also tied up. He had his back to Su Tiantian, making it unclear whether he was dead or alive.
Seeing this, Su Tiantian swallowed her saliva in fear, her breathing began to become rapid, her whole body curled up in fear, and she couldn't stop trembling.
"Hiss." As the man stood up, the wooden chair made an unpleasant friction sound against the ground, and his face was exposed.
After seeing the man's appearance clearly, Su Tiantian couldn't help but open her mouth and eyes wide, and said in disbelief: "Zhou Rang? Didn't you go back to Shanghai to visit relatives?"
Zhou Rang didn't have time to deal with Su Tiantian's nonsense. He directly picked up a thick wooden stick and hit her on the forehead, shouting fiercely: "Where is Su Nan?"
His eye circles were dark blue, and his eyeballs were covered with tiny bloodshot veins, but his eyes were still bright and sparkling with an almost crazy light.
Su Tiantian was startled by his sudden shout, her face turned grim, she shrank her neck, and when she met his hateful eyes, she felt a chill down her spine.
"I don't know, I don't know." Su Tiantian shook her head like a rattle and denied it repeatedly.
Su Nan? Zhou Rang was looking for Su Nan. What happened to that bitch? Could she be missing? Thinking of this, Su Tiantian felt a little gloating and couldn't help but curl the corners of her lips.
Zhou Rang had been staring at Su Tiantian's expression, and he immediately realized that she was taking advantage of his misfortune. Suddenly, a surge of anger rose to his heart, the muscles in his cheeks tightened, and the lines of his shoulders and back were stretched under his shirt, like a tightly wound string.
"You don't know? Haha, then let's first settle the matter of your last street robbery. The police won't take care of this matter, but I will." Zhou Rang gave the scarred man a look, then took a step back.
The scarred man nodded, gave a terrifying smile, clapped his hands, and then a sturdy woman with a wrapped head walked in from outside.
"We still have rules in the underworld. We can't beat women to death, right..." At this point, the scarred man paused for a second, and his smile grew.
"It doesn't say women can't hit women."
Su Tiantian glanced at the scarred man, then glanced again at the sturdy woman who walked in. Her scalp went numb, and she vaguely guessed what the other party was going to do. She couldn't help but want to step back, but her hands and feet were tied, and she could only move half her butt back with all her strength.
"Zhou Rang, I was wrong. I'm going to return the money I stole from Su Nan. Wuuwuwu, please let me go. I really don't know where that damn girl Su Nan is. Maybe, maybe she ran off with some random guy out of play."
Su Tiantian was in a panic and blurted out the words without thinking.
"Bitch, are you looking for death?" Yang Houzi, who had been standing next to her without saying anything, couldn't stand her anymore and wanted to go up and slap her twice.
Is Su Tiantian really stupid? Isn't saying these things at this time just to irritate Zhou Rang and bring trouble upon herself?
Besides, these words were too harsh. As an outsider, he would feel uncomfortable after hearing them, let alone Zhou Rang, the person involved?
