Chapter 17 The Hu Family Escaped
Chapter 17 The Hu Family Escapes
The old lady was so frightened that she was about to scream, but Zheng covered her mouth.
She looked at her daughter in shock, her face full of disbelief.
The next moment, Hu Lai Fu also came forward and tied the old lady tightly with a hemp rope.
While tying up her mother, Zheng whispered, "I'm sorry, mother, we are desperate now. Please help your daughter and give us a chance to survive. I will repay you when I have the chance."
The old lady's eyes were bloodshot, and she wished she could bite a piece of flesh off her body, but her legs and feet were inconvenient, and she was facing a strong daughter and son-in-law. She could do nothing except make "wuwuwu" sounds.
Zheng could guess with her toes that she must have been cursing very dirty, but it didn't matter, they couldn't hear it anyway.
After tying up the old lady, Zheng opened a box at the head of the bed and opened the bottom box under the old lady's red eyes.
The Zheng family was well off, and all the income earned by their sons was given to the public household, which was all kept by the old lady.
In addition, when Zheng sold Chao Chao's ring two years ago, it was the old lady who helped to make the connection, and the old lady also got five taels of silver from it. Therefore, Zheng knew that the old lady was rich.
They wanted to escape, but they had little money. They originally had the jade pendant and anklet they had robbed from Chao Chao as a retreat, but now they had it all gone, so they could only take some from the Zheng family.
Sure enough, when the small box was opened, it was filled with small change and a silver note.
Zheng counted and found that there were actually two hundred taels.
Hu Lai Fu was shocked, "How could it be so much?" How could a farmer's family, especially such a large family, save more than two hundred taels of silver.
Zheng suddenly turned her head as if she had thought of something, looked at the angry old lady and asked, "The money we got from selling the ring was definitely more than twenty taels, right?"
A trace of guilt flashed across the old lady's eyes, and Zheng was annoyed. The next moment, she found a small and delicate cloth bag in the corner of the box.
When she opened it, her face instantly turned ugly.
There was actually a ring in the cloth bag, the ring taken from Chaochao.
She had asked the old lady to help sell two, but there was still one left, so she only sold one? And she got far more than twenty taels.
Zheng was furious. She said to the old lady angrily, "Originally, I wanted to take half and leave some for you. Now it seems that it is no longer necessary. If you cheat your daughter like this, don't blame her for being unfilial."
After saying that, she poured out everything in the small box, put it in her pocket, and swallowed it all.
The old lady sobbed even louder, occasionally banging her head against the bed, tears streaming down her face.
Zheng ignored her. Seeing that she had got the thing, she looked at Hu Lai Fu and left.
Although Zhou was busy in the kitchen, she would still look over here from time to time. Zheng raised her voice to her, "Sister-in-law, mother asked you to add two dishes to dinner. Our Baodun wants to eat winter bamboo shoots. You can go to the bamboo forest and dig up some. Don't worry, mother is here, I will take care of it."
Zhou was not happy, but seeing that the old lady did not stop her, she knew that the old lady meant the same thing, so she could only carry the basket and go out.
As soon as she left, the three members of the Hu family quickly left the Zheng family.
A quarter of an hour later, Zhou came back and saw the open door and the old lady with her hands and feet tied and unconscious.
She was so scared that she dropped the basket in her hand and quickly looked for help. When the old lady woke up, it was almost dark and the Zheng family had all returned.
Then they heard the old lady's heart-wrenching cries.
After hearing the whole story from her fragmented mouth, the Zheng family was dumbfounded, and then they went to find Zheng to settle the score angrily.
But by this time, the three members of the Hu family had disappeared, leaving no clues. Shangliu Village was equally chaotic. Yue Chai, upon seeing the police arriving, led them to the Hu family home, only to find it completely deserted. Frightened, Yue Chai immediately led his men to Zhengjia Village, where he witnessed the utter chaos that had befallen the Zheng family.
Yue Chai was stunned. The Hu couple...actually acted so cruelly.
Unlike their chaotic situation, Chao Chao in the sky was very happy at this moment.
She lay obediently on the comfortable big bed, covered with a soft quilt, with her mother humming softly to coax her to sleep.
There was no drafty house here, no worn-out sheets that couldn't keep out the cold, no mice running around at her feet, and no sounds of beating and scolding that frightened her from time to time.
She could eat wontons filled with meat and be full, and she could drink hot water, though she couldn't remember the last time she had hot water.
Not only that, she can also take a shower with hot water. The magical shower head can continuously supply hot water as long as it is turned on, but it washes out a lot of dirt, which makes her very embarrassed.
But her mother didn't despise her. She even put a fragrant face cream on her. Her face, which was originally dry and cracked and hurt by the wind, seemed to have become soft and tender. This face cream was much better than the facial cream in Zheng's room. It didn't smell like that smell.
It really is... like a dream.
It’s just a little strange. Why is there only her mother at home? Where is her father?
Chaochao wanted to ask, but was afraid of saying the wrong thing, so she didn't open her mouth in the end.
She was reluctant to close her eyes and go to sleep, for she was afraid that after waking up, she would have to face a life of beatings and scolding again.
But Jian Yunsang's singing was so soft and gentle that it was very hypnotic, and Chao Chao was really tired. In the end, he couldn't bear it anymore and closed his eyes and slowly fell asleep.
At the same time, the sky darkened.
Jian Yunsang stopped when she heard her breathing become steady. She looked at the little girl holding onto her clothes with some dependence and slowly exhaled.
She lay beside her and looked at her carefully. The more she looked, the tighter her heart became and the angrier her face became.
She knew Chao Chao hadn't had a good time in the past two years, and she thought she was mentally prepared. But when she was giving Chao Chao a bath and taking off her clothes, she couldn't control herself. Looking at the wounds and bruises on her body, old and new, Jian Yunsang wanted to find the person who hurt Chao Chao and tear them into pieces.
Is it Shangliu Village?
She would find them, no matter where they were, she would find them.
"...Mom." A soft whisper suddenly came from my arms.
Jian Yunsang responded subconsciously, "Mom is here." Looking down, Chaochao was still sleeping with her eyes closed.
Her expression softened instantly, her eyes reddened, and she murmured softly, "Mom is here."
When Chao Chao woke up the next day, she was still a little groggy. Her biological clock had already been conditioned, and she had to get up before dawn every day.
It was the same today, but unlike the past, she felt warm all over, as if she was still dreaming.
dream?
Chao Chao calmed down and turned to see Jian Yunsang still with her eyes closed. Unsure, she raised her hand and gently touched her face, feeling the warmth before she was sure it was real.
Jian Yunsang has been a light sleeper in the past two years, and she wakes up as soon as Chao Chao reaches out his hand.
She held the child in her arms and said, "It's still early, can you sleep a little longer? When you wake up, Mommy will take you somewhere."
