Chapter 22 Swimming in a Cessation
Zhang Lan looked at their expressions and asked, "What's going on? Are the eldest and second sisters-in-law disappointed?"
Mrs. Hu said eloquently, "No, Third Sister-in-law, why am I disappointed? I just think that since you are pregnant now and living alone at your parents' house, Zhicheng can take care of you."
"No, my mother will take care of me."
"That means one more person means more strength."
"I'm not a child. Even if I'm pregnant, I can take care of myself. Besides, the house at my parents' house is not big. There's only a single bed in it, so it can't accommodate two people."
"But." Mrs. Hu wanted to argue again, but was interrupted by her mother: "Don't say buts, just let the third child go live with her parents. Zhicheng still lives at home, so he can go there more often."
If the daughter-in-law and son both went to live with their in-laws, others would probably laugh at her son for marrying into the family.
"Mom, I don't have to pay my share of the food expenses home from now on."
"Okay." Hu's mother agreed.
After Zhang Lan finished speaking, she went back to the house to pack her things.
Mrs. Hu still didn't give up: "Zhicheng hasn't finished get off work yet. You have to wait until Zhicheng comes back to discuss this matter with him."
If Hu Zhicheng wanted to stick with his wife, he would have to go there.
However, when Hu Zhicheng came back from get off work, Zhang Lan told him about the situation. He respected Zhang Lan's decision and expressed his apologies to her.
"Wife, it's all my fault. I'm incompetent and couldn't provide you with a stable living environment. You had to live with your parents even though you were pregnant."
Zhang Lan didn't blame him and told him: "If the first and second wives try to use the children to get money or things from you again, don't indulge them."
Hu Zhicheng knew about the conspiracy and intrigue of the first and second wives, so naturally he would not tolerate them anymore.
"I won't do that anymore. I'm nice to them, but they turn around and try to harm me. I won't let them take advantage of me anymore."
"That's good."
Xu Nuannuan took advantage of the middle of the night and went to her parents' house again.
Because of the previous two times, Xu Zhenqing and Fang Suyun were no longer so surprised and panicked when they saw Xu Nuannuan coming.
In fact, they know that they don’t have much time left here and they want to spend more time with their daughter.
Xu Nuannuan took out the insulated box of dumplings and two pairs of chopsticks and handed them to her parents, "Dad, Mom, there are dumplings, come and eat them."
"dumpling!"
Dumplings symbolize reunion. The couple will soon be separated from their daughter, and they don’t know if they will be able to eat dumplings together again in the future.
Fang Suyun picked up one and handed it to Xu Nuannuan through the window.
"Nuannuan, let's eat together as a family."
"Okay." Xu Nuannuan took a bite of the dumpling and said, "Dad, Mom, you guys should eat quickly too."
The family of three quickly finished their dumplings. Xu Zhenqing told Xu Nuannuan, "Nuannuan, we've been staying here all day. They told us we'll be leaving in three days. As for where we're going, they said it's at the junction of three provinces. That place should belong to Liaoning Province, bordering Inner Mongolia and Hebei Province. It's called Qingpingwan Brigade, Wagouzhai Commune."
"Wagouzhai Commune, Qingpingwan Brigade."
Xu Nuannuan knew this name in her previous life, and she also knew that the county located between three provinces was Anfeng County, Ling City.
"Nuannuan, you must take good care of yourself." Fang Suyun reminded.
"Mom, I can."
After Xu Nuannuan left, she had not walked far on her way home when she turned the corner and saw a figure walking towards her. She immediately entered the space.
When the figure passed by her, she found out it was Zhao Shulin.
Looking again, the direction Zhao Shulin was going was exactly where his parents were.
Why is Zhao Shulin going there?
Maybe it has something to do with her parents.
Her space could make her invisible, but she couldn't move. She waited until Zhao Shulin walked farther away before leaving the space and following Zhao Shulin.
Zhao Shulin looked around as he walked, and only after making sure that there was no one else around and no one was following him did he boldly go to the house where Xu Zhenqing and Fang Suhuan were.
He walked to the window and lowered his voice to the window: "Sister, brother-in-law, are you asleep? I have something important to talk to you about."
Because Xu Nuannuan had just left, Xu Zhenqing and Fang Suyun were still awake, and they recognized the voice as Zhao Shulin's.
"What's that guy doing here?" Xu Zhenqing whispered to Fang Suyun, "He's a snob. I don't think he came to see us out of kindness."
"Let's go take a look first."
The two of them got up from the pile of straw on the ground and came to the window.
"Why are you here?" Fang Suyun asked.
"Oh no! Something terrible has happened, sister, brother-in-law." Zhao Shulin pretended to wipe the sweat from his forehead: "Nuannuan, is something wrong with Nuannuan?"
"What happened?"
Even though Xu Nuannuan had just left here, Fang Suyun was still a little nervous when she heard it.
Xu Zhenqing was calmer than her. It wasn't that he didn't care about his daughter, but he suspected that this was a conspiracy.
He was afraid Fang Suyun would lose her temper and say that Xu Nuannuan had just left, so he gently tugged at the corner of her clothes and said, "Don't be impatient. Let Shulin finish what he said." Then, he turned to look at Zhao Shulin and said, "Go on, what happened to Nuannuan?"
Zhao Shulin was completely unaware of the couple's wariness of him and continued, "Nuannuan, she was kidnapped by a group of thugs. I don't know where they took her. But before they left, they said they would release her if I paid them some money and left her at a designated location."
"When did this happen?" Xu Zhenqing continued to ask.
"Oh, about an hour ago. I didn't want to come to you, but the kidnappers wanted three thousand yuan, and Su Huan, mom and I couldn't come up with that much, so I had no choice but to come to you. Sister, brother-in-law, where did you hide the money at home? You have to take it out quickly to redeem Nuannuan. I'm really afraid those beasts will hurt Nuannuan."
As long as Xu Zhenqing and his wife said so, he would find a way to steal the money.
This time Xu Zhenqing and Fang Suyun both knew for sure that Zhao Shulin was directing and acting out this whole thing, trying to trick them into talking and asking for money.
They still don't know what the relationship is between Zhao Shulin and Xu Nuannuan, so they haven't exposed him yet.
Xu Zhenqing said, "Shulin, we don't have any money. You must help us redeem Nuannuan. We can't get out either, so we have no choice but to rely on you."
Zhao Shulin's face suddenly darkened. "Brother-in-law, I came to you because I had no other choice. Do you really have no money?"
"We really don't have any money. If we had money, wouldn't we take it out quickly? We also want to save Nuannuan."
Zhao Shulin's mind raced. "You, you don't have money, but you must have treasures. Brother-in-law, your ancestors are quite prominent, so they must have many treasures. If we can't gather enough money, we can give some of them to those bandits, and that can redeem Nuannuan."
Xu Zhenqing squinted his eyes in the dark. This guy was even planning to steal their family's treasure.
"Treasure? Where's the treasure? There isn't any. Shulin, go and save Nuannuan. There's no time to lose. We are relying on you."
“Sister, brother-in-law, but I don’t have any money.”
"Then we have no other choice. How about I find a way out? Shu Lin, you come with me to find that gang of bandits. Even if it means I have to sacrifice my life, I will still rescue Nuannuan."
Zhao Shulin didn't dare let him out, because if he came out, his plan would be exposed.
"No need, brother-in-law, I'll go back and think of a solution myself." After saying that, he turned around and left, returning home along the same route.
It was the middle of the night, and it was pitch black everywhere. He could hardly see his hand in front of him. If it weren't for this, he wouldn't have dared to come here.
Of course, he had a flashlight in his pocket, and when he walked a little further away from the cowshed, he took out the flashlight to light the way.
He was a little angry because he didn't get any useful information from Xu Zhenqing and Fang Suyun.
"Damn it, you didn't even tell me where the money is. You two black-hearted bastards, it seems you don't care about your daughter at all. Whether she lives or dies is none of your business, right? Fine, just wait for your daughter to be tortured to death by the Shen family.
Humph, I can't touch her, someone will take care of him. If she is tortured to death by the Shen family one day, I will come to tell you the good news. "
He was walking when suddenly a dark figure rushed out from the side. He just reacted, "Who?" and wanted to use the flashlight to find the other person, but the flashlight was snatched away by the man.
"Who? Who? Who?"
In the darkness, someone pushed him hard. Before he moved far, he felt his feet go empty and he fell into a pit.
No, this was not just a pit, there was something in the pit. The moment he fell in, a pungent stench rushed into his nostrils.
His lower body was already soaked in a thick substance. Even though he was now unable to think normally because of the stench, he knew that he had fallen into a cesspool.
"Who is it? Who are you? Why are you pushing me?"
Xu Nuannuan stood nearby, calm and composed, and she changed into Fang Suhuan's voice, saying, "Zhao Shulin, if you don't do anything wrong, you don't have to worry about ghosts knocking on your door. I'm going to eliminate you on behalf of my entire family. I'm going to meet my old lover. Just absorb the essence of the manure here and enjoy it. I wish you a happy meal!"
After saying that, she clapped her hands and left.
Zhao Shulin in the cesspool recognized Fang Suhuan's voice. He couldn't believe it at first, but the voice was indeed Fang Suhuan's.
顿时急的大吼大叫:“方素环,你这个死婆娘,我怎么惹你了?我做什么亏心事了?你居然要害死我。还,你去找老情人,妈的,你居然背着老子在外面找人,你找死!等着,等老子回家非揍死你。”
Xu Nuannuan didn't pay much attention to him swimming around in the cesspool and went straight to find her parents.
After finding out the purpose of Zhao Shulin's visit, Xu Nuannuan told her parents about the falling out between her and Zhao Shulin and the others.
"Dad, Mom. I suspect they are the ones who are behind this and reported you."
But she did not tell her parents that she had agreed to marry Shen Changan. It was just a fake deal anyway, and she did not tell them to avoid worrying her parents about her.
