"Okay, I understand. I will find an opportunity to divorce her."
"Want a divorce? In your next life!" He Hua shouted, then charged forward angrily like a raging bull.
"You bitch, you instigated him to divorce me, do you even deserve it? Go to hell!"
He Hua suddenly lunged at Zou Daying, who stared in horror, but had no time to dodge.
She staggered backward from the impact, and suddenly her footing gave way to nothingness, only then realizing that behind the vines was a cliff.
Zou Daying waved her hands in terror, grabbed Chen Gang's arm suddenly, and stood there swaying precariously.
He Hua had lost her mind at this point. All she wanted was to get rid of Zou Daying's child. No one could have Chen Gang's child.
If she has a child, her position as an official's wife will be threatened.
She was completely unaware that there was a cliff behind the vines, and that Zou Daying was acting as if nothing had happened, even pulling at Chen Gang.
He Hua continued to charge forward like a roaring lion, determined to make Zou Daying abort her child today.
"He Hua, are you crazy? Stop right now!" Chen Gang shouted in fright.
"I don't want the child anymore, Brother Chen Gang, grab me quickly, let's run, this place is dangerous."
"I'm crazy, haha... I'm just crazy. No one can leave here until the baby is miscarried today."
During the collision, Chen Gang, who was holding onto Zou Daying, and Zou Daying both fell down.
Before the fall, Chen Gang frantically reached out to grab He Hua, pulling her down with him.
She screamed in terror as the three of them rolled and collided repeatedly.
After an unknown amount of time, Zou Daying crashed heavily onto a protruding rock with a dull thud, and then continued to roll downhill.
Chen Gang and He Hua also lost consciousness in the violent impact. The two continued to fall off the cliff and eventually disappeared into the darkness.
When the captain came to patrol, he found that Chen Gang and He Hua were not there.
So he asked the person next to him, "Where did those two go?"
"Oh, so He, the educated youth, said he had a stomachache and ran away," Aunt Li said disdainfully.
"What about Chen, the educated youth?"
“We don’t know. A child came looking for him, and he ran away without telling us anything.”
Then, the brigade leader walked over to Zhou Dajun and instructed him, "Zhou Zhiqing, go and see if Chen Zhiqing and his wife are at your educated youth settlement? They're both not here."
"Okay, Captain, I'll go right away."
"Stop looking, get back to work, we'll be done soon."
These people are really something, they stop what they're doing at the slightest sign of trouble.
When Zhou, a educated youth, arrived at the educated youth settlement, he searched everywhere but could not find Chen Gang and He Hua.
He could only run to the field to find the brigade leader. "Brigade leader, there's no one at the educated youth settlement. I don't know where they went?"
"Never mind then, we'll talk about it later. Their work points for today are zero."
When the work bell rang, everyone realized that Chen Gang and He Hua had not returned to the field.
When Accountant Zou and his wife returned home after work, they found that Zou Daying was not there.
"Where did Yingzi go? Why isn't she home? She hasn't cooked any food either."
"Mom and Dad, I came back but didn't see anyone."
As Zou Daying's sister-in-law cooked lunch, she cursed inwardly. "My sister-in-law is lazy and good-for-nothing, and now she's not even cooking! She's really annoying!"
"Old man, I'll go outside and look for him."
"Okay, go ahead."
The first person Zou's mother thought of was Chen Gang from the educated youth settlement. She rushed to the settlement and pulled Zheng Yuanyuan, who had just returned to the entrance.
"Zheng Zhiqing, could you please go in and check if my Yingzi is with you?"
"Oh, okay, Aunt Zou, please wait a moment."
"Zou Daying, Zou Daying, are you there?"
Zheng Yuanyuan walked to the door and said, "Aunt Zou, no one is here. No one answers."
"Are any of your Chen educated youths here?"
"They're not here either. The team leader sent people to look for them when we went to work, but they couldn't find them."
"Okay, thank you."
As Zheng Yuanyuan watched Zou's mother walk away, Ma Chunling suddenly came out and asked, "What's wrong?"
“She came here looking for Zou Daying, but went back after not finding him.”
"Why did you come here looking for us?" Ma Chunling asked, puzzled.
Xie Qiuying glanced around and whispered, "Her daughter and Chen, the educated youth, secretly spent time together."
"That can't be right. Didn't Chen Zhiqing get married? They were entangled before marriage, but they haven't been together since."
"Tch, I saw it before, during the Chinese New Year," Xie Qiuying said coldly.
"Wow, you're keeping such a big secret in your heart, and you won't tell us. Humph," Ma Chunling complained.
"This isn't a good thing, so what if we know?"
"Life is too boring, I need to do something out of the ordinary to spice things up."
"Haha... Let's go, time to eat."
"What do you want to eat? I heard you're with Li Zheng?" Ma Chunling blinked at Xie Qiuying.
"Yes, congratulate me quickly!"
"Congratulations! I didn't expect you to like his type."
"Which one? I think it's pretty good."
"Yes, as long as you like him, he should look good, right?"
"It's not bad, so far it's been good for me."
"That's fine then."
When Zou's mother returned home, panting, she rested for a while and then said, "I didn't see anyone, and the boiled chicken wasn't there either."
"Never mind, let's eat first and talk about it later."
Winter days pass quickly, and Chen Gang, He Hua, and Zou Daying did not return until night fell.
At this point, everyone realized that something was wrong.
"Uncle Zou, your Yingzi is missing too?"
"Yes, I haven't seen my Yingzi since I came back from work at noon."
"Captain, my son Gou Dan said he saw Chen Zhiqing and Yingzi at noon," Gou Dan's mother suddenly said.
"Oh, Gou Dan, tell Captain Uncle where you saw him?"
"Uncle Captain, I saw him in the field."
Sister Yingzi gave me a piece of candy and told me to go call Chen Zhiqing over. Then I saw them walking up the mountain.
"Okay, thank you, Dog Egg."
"Is it possible that it was eaten by a wild boar?"
"Don't talk nonsense," the village chief said, stopping them.
The captain frowned and decided to organize some able-bodied men to go up the mountain to search.
“The elderly, women and children go back first, the young and strong stay behind, we will go up the mountain to look for them.”
"Uncle Chang, you should go back first. You're getting old and shouldn't be traveling."
"Alright, nephew, I'll leave this place to you then." The village chief said and left.
Night fell over the mountains and forests, and the captain led everyone forward cautiously, carrying torches.
Su Tian looked outside the educated youth settlement and saw rows of torches rushing up the mountain.
"Chunling, what happened?" Su Tian asked, tugging at Ma Chunling's sleeve.
"You're too diligent, you just got back from school."
"It's Chen, He, and Zou Daying, these three educated youths, who have gone missing. We haven't seen them since noon."
