When I woke up, I was entangled by a rough guy with eight-pack abs

Zhou Hongyang's mind raced. If he admitted that he was a woman, he would probably become a laughing stock in the entire battalion, and his promotion would be ruined. After all, no unit wanted to accept a man who couldn't even beat a woman.

It seemed like he had no choice but to admit defeat. He gritted his teeth and swallowed the blood in his throat: "It was... a fellow villager. He was probably drunk and acting crazy."

Sheng Gang immediately patted him on the shoulder and said, "Good brother, you would rather hurt yourself than hurt your fellow villagers. You are the role model of our camp. Today I respect you as a man."

Qin Zhao frowned as he looked at Zhou Hongyang's head, which was wrapped up like a dumpling. "Since you are injured, it is not appropriate for you to participate in flood prevention work. Then go back to Jingping with the injured tomorrow."

Zhou Hongyang couldn't wait to leave. After all, the medical conditions in Jingping were much better than those in this remote mountain area. Maybe his handsome face could be saved.

The matter was over. After the two of them walked out, Sheng Gang smiled slyly and meanly: "Brother Zhao, did you call me here just to play a double act with you to clear Sister Ning of suspicion?"

"Watch your mouth."

"I understand, I understand. You don't need to thank me. Just let me sit in the seat of honor when you marry Sister Ning someday. But Sister Ning was really ruthless."

Qin Zhao's face actually showed an expression of pride: "Specifically, he is fast, ruthless and accurate. He is a good candidate for the army."

Is this the point of concern? Sheng Gang suddenly got goose bumps all over his body: "Brother Zhao, what I mean is, don't you worry about your married life?"

Qin Zhao glanced at him coldly: "Don't talk nonsense, Comrade Ning and I haven't even started dating yet."

"Huh, huh, huh, huh, you just keep pretending. You've already tied someone up in your heart, how can you let go?"

"You do not understand."

Qin Zhao has always had a sense of boundaries. As long as Ning Ying doesn't let go, he won't be able to break that layer of window paper. Besides, he has no experience in love and is not sure about the extent of his feelings for Ning Ying. Perhaps time will give him the answer.

As soon as the two men left, Zhou Hongyang realized that his trip was a real loss. Apart from getting a "man" from Sheng Gang, he seemed to have gained nothing and was beaten for no reason.

Sun Qianqian's sister is a liar. She said that if he reported the flash flood this time, he would become a hero who turned the tide, and not only would he be promoted but he would also be awarded a third-class merit. However, the higher-ups had already issued a flash flood warning notice and started deploying it, and he only got a mobilization job at most.

The more Zhou Hongyang thought about it, the angrier he became. His head ached and his ears were buzzing. However, the Ning family was even more upset than him at the moment.

The one-week deadline was about to arrive, but even if Ning Jiannan sold his blood, he still couldn't raise the 5,000 yuan. If he couldn't come up with the money, he and his family of seven or eight would have to starve.

Ning Ying reminded him that although he was not valuable, there were valuable things in his family, so he thought about everyone in the family, young and old.

Gou Rili has something on him, and he is too old and ugly to be sold at a high price. Zhou Weihong still has to take care of the whole family, so keeping him is useful. Gao Dalong looks sick and weak, so he wouldn't be worth much even if he was sold to a black brick kiln.

The only one who can help is Gao Xiaofeng, the "rich girl" who only knows how to eat and sleep every day, and can't carry anything with her shoulders or hands.

After a day of running around, Ning Jiannan decided to sell Gao Xiaofeng to the stupid son of Wang Mazi from the neighboring village, and he had already received a deposit of 1,000 yuan.

While Gou Rili, the woman who was protecting her son, was still in the hospital, he planned to kidnap Gao Xiaofeng and send her over.

Gao Xiaofeng begged bitterly: "Dad, please don't sell me out. I will take good care of you in the future. No, I will go out and find a job to support you and mom."

Ning Jiannan kicked her to the ground and said, "Because of you, I get criticized every day. Who will dare to give you a job or marry you in the future? I will find you a husband as soon as possible so that you can enjoy a good life. Don't be ungrateful!"

"I know everything. Wang Mazi's son is a fool. How can I marry a fool?"

Pah! Ning Jiannan slapped her in the face: "What's wrong with you, idiot? As long as you give me a big fat boy, everyone in the Wang family will praise him. Then you can take the opportunity to get some things from your parents' home, which will be considered as your filial piety."

"Dad, I'm your own daughter, how can you be so cruel?"

Ning Jiannan was like a beast at the end of its rope, his eyes full of bloodshot. "Xiaofeng, don't blame Dad for being cruel. Dad had no choice. Besides, Dad didn't let you sell yourself like Ning Na. Instead, I found a good family for you. I have done my best. From now on, you should live a down-to-earth life in the Wang family!"

That night, he took advantage of the cover of darkness and carried Gao Xiaofeng to Wang Mazi's house like an animal, and successfully received the balance of one thousand yuan.

With this money plus the proceeds from selling the yard, he was still short of two thousand yuan, so he had to turn his attention to the waste that had been piling up in the workshop for a long time and had not been dealt with in time.

But just as he left, Gao Dalong, who looked sick, appeared at Wang Mazi's house.

When Gao Xiaofeng saw him, she felt like she saw a savior: "Brother, save me!"

Gao Dalong raised his cane and hit him: "Brother, you are paralyzed. When you were trying to put the blame on me, why didn't you remember that I was your brother?"

Gao Xiaofeng suddenly fainted. Gao Dalong turned to Wang Mazi and said, "If my sister can't get pregnant with Wang's child in three months, you can sell her. I have already contacted the seller. Here is a deposit of 300 yuan."

Wang Mazi thought that if she still didn't get pregnant after three months, there was an 80% chance that she would not be able to have a baby, so he happily took the money.

"Lock her up and don't let her run away. Oh, you two better hurry up. If she doesn't get pregnant, she'll have to be passed on to another buyer."

Gao Dalong went home and drank with Ning Jiannan until midnight. The father and son had no idea that they had fallen into a trap that Ning Ying had woven in advance.

Heavy rain suddenly hit Shaanxi City, and Qin Zhao brought his people to the resettlement site early in the morning.

His hair covered his eyebrows, unable to hide the sharpness in his eyes. There was blue stubble around his lips. He probably hadn't slept for several days and nights. His eyes were full of red bloodshot and he looked sharp and tired.

Ning Ying and Gu Jin were just about to have breakfast when they ran into him. Looking at the man covered in mud and a layer of wheat-colored skin, she felt an inexplicable emotion in her heart.

Gu Jin, on the other hand, excitedly rushed over and hugged him: "Brother-in-law, I have been looking forward to having you here for a long time."

Qin Zhao pulled him off his body, coughed lightly, and pointed at the two soldiers behind him: "They are responsible for drug procurement, you two chat."

Gu Jin pushed Ning Ying fiercely: "Brother-in-law, you guys chat, I can handle the business matters myself!"

Ning Ying staggered into Qin Zhao's arms. Fortunately, Qin Zhao reached out and held her steady, but his hands were big and rough, and they felt hot even through her clothes.
