Chapter 168 Caught

Han Youran looked tired, with red bloodshot eyes.

"What happened, Sister Youran?"

Han Youran looked outside, closed the door again, and then came over and whispered, "Tang Zhiqing went to work in the black market and was arrested."

"Ah!" Xia Zhizhi was surprised: "How could this happen? When was he arrested?"

She played so big but didn't even get herself involved, but Tang Mingli got himself involved?

If he is sentenced directly to ten years, I don't know if it will be possible to replay the plot after the movement is over.

Han Youran sighed, "He was arrested the day before yesterday. He hasn't been back for two days. Yesterday, I accompanied Xiurong to the city to look for her, and only then did I know that he was reselling on the black market and was caught red-handed. He is now detained in the Revolutionary Committee."

"We ran around all day yesterday and didn't see anyone. Xiurong was hit and caught a cold. She had a fever when she came back. It hasn't gone down yet. She won't eat and keeps talking nonsense." Han Youran said with a sad face, "If the fever doesn't go down tomorrow, I'll have the captain take a car and take her to the hospital."

"Where is Cui Zijin?" Xia Zhizhi raised her eyebrows.

"It's just a coincidence. Something happened at home. He bought a ticket and went back the day before yesterday."

There were only two girls left at home, Han Youran and Jiang Xiurong. Jiang Xiurong was devastated and fell ill. Faced with such a thing, Han Youran was so worried that she didn't know what to do. She didn't know anyone here, and she didn't know who to find if she wanted to use connections.

And I don’t dare to tell others about this kind of thing.

Xia Zhizhi patted Han Youran's hand and said, "Don't worry, Sister Youran. I'll go see Sister Xiurong."

Jiang Xiurong's face flushed and he was confused. He shouted incoherently: "Ali, Ali, I'm scared."

He sobbed a few times in a daze.

Xia Zhizhi stepped forward and shook Jiang Xiurong vigorously. She did not blink, but when she touched her forehead, she found it was indeed hot.

Xia Zhizhi asked Han Youran: "When did she take the medicine?"

Han Youran said with a sad face, "I tried to feed it several times, but it wouldn't go in. Liu Lin helped me and I finally managed to pry its mouth open, but it vomited everything out."

Xia Zhizhi asked Han Youran to get some more medicine, and found two enamel pots, filled them with hot water, and tested the temperature with her hand. It was a little hot, but she could barely drink it, not to the extent of burning herself.

She got on the kang, half-lifted Jiang Xiurong up, and leaned him against her legs. Then she pinched Jiang Xiurong's jaw hard, pried his mouth open, and threw the medicine in.

Then he picked up the enamel pot next to him and poured water into it.

After filling one tank, another tank comes.

Han Youran was stunned and suspected that she was a black-hearted businessman who sold water-filled pigs in her previous life. Looking at the watering technique, not a drop of water leaked out.

Jiang Xiurong's eyes were filled with tears and snot, and beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.

Han Youran quickly got a hot towel to wipe her face.

Jiang Xiurong was dazed, shaking her head and crying aggrievedly, "Ali, I want Ali!"

Xia Zhizhi shouted in her ear: "If you don't get up well tomorrow, I will send your Ah Li to be shot!"

Jiang Xiurong cried out "No" several times, and her voice gradually weakened.

Han Youran tucked the quilt into Jiang Xiurong's arms, wiped her face, and the two returned to Xia Zhizhi's room.

Han Youran stirred the porridge in the pot and asked her, "Didn't Zhizhi go home this time?"

They were in the village, it was freezing cold, no one bought newspapers every day, so they didn't know about Xia Zhizhi's exciting career.

Xia Zhizhi didn't plan to say more, and said, "I went to Beijing to play for a while and then came here."

After being hit by Cheng Zhao, Tang Mingli reflected deeply.

Then he went to the city to find a temporary job.

It is not easy to find a proper job. It was probably fate. Da Chong planned to expand because of sufficient supply and happened to be short of manpower. He got to know Tang Mingli and thought he was a good comrade, so he invited him to join his team.

There are risks, but the salary is high.

Tang Mingli agreed without much thought.

Although he has many shortcomings, he probably has the talent to do this job and he does it very well. He stands out among his younger brothers and has even made it into the core team of Big Worm.

Soon I made my first pot of gold.

He bought a gift and confessed to Jiang Xiurong: "Jiang Zhiqing, you are a very good female comrade. I really like you. I used to feel inferior because of my family background. Although my conditions are not so good now, I will try my best to treat you well and not let you suffer. Can you be my partner?"

After saying this, his face turned red with embarrassment.

Of course Jiang Xiurong nodded heavily!

But before their sweet days lasted more than two days, Tang Mingli had to go to jail.

Who can I go to for justice?

I can only say that it is indeed God's will.

Originally, Tang Mingli could have avoided being caught on this trip.

But the goods this time were more valuable, and his family conditions were indeed difficult. When he saw these things, even though they were not his own, he could not immediately make up his mind to throw them away.

Once you lose the initiative, you can't escape.

The two of them simply drank some porridge with salted vegetables. Xia Zhizhi came over with some warm rice soup and forced Jiang Xiurong to drink another bowl.

I don't know if it was the effect of the medicine or the boiled water, or if it was the threatening words that worked.

At around eight or nine o'clock, Jiang Xiurong's fever subsided and he got up in a daze and went to the toilet.

After coming back from the restroom, I noticed Xia Zhizhi. I couldn't hold back my tears for a moment, and they flowed without a word.

"Okay, okay, stop crying and have a good rest." Xia Zhizhi comforted her: "Don't worry too much. I know about Tang Zhiqing's situation. I will go to the city to ask someone tomorrow."

Jiang Xiurong rushed up and hugged her.

God knows what Jiang Xiurong has been thinking these past two days. When she heard this, she felt like she had found a lifeline. She held on tightly, not daring to let go. "Zhizhi, ask for Sister Xiurong. We must rescue Tang Zhiqing. It doesn't matter how much it costs... I have money."

After saying that, she went to take out money again.

Xia Zhizhi quickly stopped her: "Okay, okay, let's talk about it tomorrow. You should have a good rest first, otherwise you will be tired tomorrow."

She yawned.

Seeing that she was sleepy, Jiang Xiurong quickly asked her to go back to the house to rest.

Jiang Xiurong tossed and turned on the kang like a pancake. Han Youran comforted her for a long time before she fell asleep again.

Ah Ju had already tidied the room. Lying on the warm kang covered with two thick mattresses, she had a good sleep.

The next morning, Jiang Xiurong got up, took some medicine, and fed himself a lot of breakfast, then looked at Xia Zhizhi eagerly.

Seeing Jiang Xiurong's pitiful look, Xia Zhizhi couldn't hesitate any longer and just took a bite of breakfast.

Jiang Xiurong pointed to the ice sled in the yard and said, "Zhizhi, sit on the sled and I'll pull you along!"
