"It seems like the man has to go back to the army, so he's 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 he would come to help the Xiao family chop wood and fetch water whenever he had time. No other son-in-law was as attentive as him.
Not only that, but he also brings lots of bags every time he comes to the house. The neighbors are so envious that they all say that the Xiao family has made a good choice of son-in-law, who 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 prospects are limitless. He is a real rich son-in-law. Although his background is a bit poor, he has his own ambitions.
If she was asked to marry Lu Zechen, she would be willing and would not despise his rural origin.
"Oh, marrying a poor soldier is nothing big." Su Tiantian raised her chin and curled her lips in disdain.
Qin Xiaolan knew that Su Tiantian definitely didn't know what the second lieutenant meant when she heard this, so she snorted coldly, "What do you know, idiot."
After saying that, he left her and walked forward.
"Why are you being so disrespectful for no reason? Bah, do you really think you are a lady from the old days and I am your maid? You are not even willing to lend me two hundred dollars, humph."
Su Tiantian rolled her eyes, took two steps forward, and when she passed Qin Xiaolan, she bumped her with her shoulder.
"Hey, Su Tiantian, don't you have eyes for seeing things?" Qin Xiaolan shouted angrily, covering her painful arm.
Su Tiantian acted as if she didn't hear it. 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 tools now, go to the back and line up." Xiao Fangyun knocked on the table and warned.
Qin Xiaolan could only stamp her feet on the ground, snorted, changed her tools, and walked in the opposite direction of Su Tiantian. She wanted to buy a pound of egg cakes from the supply and marketing cooperative, specifically 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 meat.
Qin Xiaolan couldn't help but let out a smug and determined smile. It was obvious that she had done this many times and it always worked.
But her plan failed this time because Su Tiantian did not come back until dark.
*
Inside an abandoned small bungalow in Sang'an County, the sky was dark, but there were only two kerosene lamps lit, with the wicks shaky and looking as if a stronger wind would blow them out.
"Wake her up." A deep and hoarse voice slowly sounded in the darkness.
"yes."
Immediately afterwards, two sharp slapping sounds echoed in the closed room.
While Su Tiantian was comatose, she felt someone slap her in the face several times. The burning pain forced her to wake up. As a result, when she opened her eyes, she was facing a face with hideous scars.
"Ah." A scream rang out, and Su Tiantian was almost frightened to faint.
"You bitch, be quiet. If you keep yelling, I'll kill you right here." The scarred man slapped Guo Chen again with a fierce look on his face.
Su Tiantian's mind became a little clearer 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 won't ask you for anything." 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 several ferocious-looking men standing next to him.
On the other side lay a man with his hands and feet 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, and she curled up in fear, shaking uncontrollably.
"Hiss." As the man stood up, the wooden chair made an unpleasant friction sound against the ground, and his face was exposed to the light.
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 your relatives?"
Zhou Rang didn't have time to deal with Su Tiantian's nonsense. He directly took a thick wooden stick beside him and pressed it against her forehead, shouting fiercely: "Where is Su Nan?"
The circles around his eyes were dark and his eyeballs were covered with tiny bloodshot, but his eyes were still bright and flashing an almost crazy light.
Su Tiantian was startled by his sudden shout, her face turned pale, she shrank her neck, and met his hateful eyes, feeling a chill down her spine.
"I don't know, I don't know." Su Tiantian shook her head like a rattle and denied it again and again.
Su Nan? Zhou Rang was looking for Su Nan. What happened to that bitch? Could it be that she disappeared? Thinking of this, Su Tiantian felt a little gloating and couldn't help but curling her lips.
Zhou Rang had been staring at Su Tiantian's expression, so he naturally 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 the white shirt, like a taut string.
"You don't know? Haha, then let's first calculate the last time you robbed someone on the street. The police don't care about this, but I do." 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 in a headscarf came in from outside.
"We still have rules in the underworld. We can't beat women to death, but..." At this point, the scarred man paused for a second and his smile deepened.
"No one said women can't hit women."
Su Tiantian glanced at the scarred man, then at the sturdy woman who came in from behind. 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 of her butt back with all her strength.
"Zhou Rang, I was wrong. I'm going to return the money I stole from Su Nan to you. Wuuwuwu, please let me go. I really don't know where that damn girl Su Nan is. Maybe, maybe she ran off with some wild man because she was too playful."
Su Tiantian was so panicked that she blurted out the words without thinking.
"Bitch, are you looking for death?" Yang Houzi, who had been silent on the side, couldn't stand her anymore and wanted to step forward and slap her twice.
Is Su Tiantian really stupid? Isn't it just to irritate Zhou Rang and bring trouble upon herself by saying these things at this time?
Besides, these words were too harsh to hear. As an outsider, he would feel uncomfortable hearing them, let alone Zhou Rang, who was in power?
