Chapter 118 Selling You to a Broiler

Cheng Xia walked carefully to the door with the knife in her hand. She gripped the handle of the knife tightly. It is undeniable that her heart is beating non-stop. After all, it is the first time she does this kind of thing, and she hasn't figured out how to deal with it. , What if it is really Liu Wen?
Cheng Xia leaned against the wall cautiously, looked up, she could climb the wall and jump out, but she is not stupid, anyone who jumps out the door will know.

By the way, Cheng Xia scratched her head anxiously, Mrs. Zhang is still outside, what if she is found out?

The sound of knocking on the door suddenly sounded again, without hesitation, Cheng Xia directly pulled out the latch, and slammed the door open, as long as you die, it doesn't matter if you run into each other face to face, at worst, you will tear your face.

As a result, when the door opened, Cheng Xia unexpectedly found that the person standing outside the door was Mrs. Zhang with a sad face. Cheng Xia's tense body suddenly languished like a deflated ball. She put the dagger back into the short sheath, and carefully left and right After taking a look, he saw that there was no one else, so he pulled Mrs. Zhang into the courtyard, and then closed the courtyard door, "Mother, are you going to scare me to death, why are you knocking on the door all of a sudden?"

Mrs. Zhang obviously has no energy at all. She thought she had listened to the conversation she had with Zhao Rou just now, but now she just raised her eyes to look at Cheng Xia, and said in a flat voice, "I just heard her shouting too loudly. , it would be bad to be heard by others, so let's go."

Mrs. Zhang's eyes swept over Zhao Rou who was lying on the ground in the yard and fainted. She didn't look at her at all, and only raised her hand to hold Cheng Xia, "Let's go."

"Go? Where are you going?" Cheng Xia frowned. Why did she feel that Mrs. Zhang's reaction was not right? Don't be provoked.Thinking of this, Cheng Xia tentatively waved her hand in front of Mrs. Zhang, "Are you okay?"

"It's okay." Zhang's eyes were shallow, as if he was not focused, he took Chengxia's hand, automatically closed the courtyard door, and was about to leave.

"Wait, wait a minute," Cheng Xia stopped Mrs. Zhang, turned her head and went back to the yard, this time directly passed Zhao Rou into her room, and when she opened the door, a smell of corruption came to her nostrils, making Cheng Xia want to vomit , there is still garbage on the ground that hasn't been thrown out for a long time, just throwing it on the ground so scatteredly, Cheng Xia's movement of wanting to enter the house just stopped at the moment, Mrs. Zhang came with Cheng Xia, and she couldn't help frowning when she saw the scene in the room, " So dirty."

"Wait a moment," Cheng Xia said as he entered, then rummaged through everything in the room. Except for a jade bracelet and a hairpin, nothing else was valuable. No, Cheng Xia panted and looked at the room that she made as if it had been ransacked, nodded slightly satisfied, and then took the bracelet and hairpin and pulled Mrs. Zhang to leave.

Mrs. Zhang frowned in confusion and wanted to ask something, but she saw Cheng Xia leading her out of the courtyard, then closed the courtyard door, and walked to the open space outside, Cheng Xia took a closer look, facing the weeds overgrown A piece of land was thrown directly, and the hairpin and jade bracelet in his hand disappeared in an instant. Cheng Xia clapped his hands in disgust, "I came here pretending to be a robber in this outfit. How can I convince her if I don't put on a show."

"Then why did you throw it away?" Mrs. Zhang was talking about the jade hairpin and the bracelet.

Seeing that Mrs. Zhang was about to run over to search, Cheng Xia hurriedly grabbed her, "Don't you feel disgusted by this woman's things?"

Mrs. Zhang's forward steps stopped suddenly, her face became gloomy again, she turned her head and walked towards the city without saying a word, Cheng Xia sighed, knowing that Mrs. Zhang was also stimulated, so she didn't say much , just follow her back.

Walking silently all the way to the fork in the bustling area, to the left is the road to Shangji Medicine Shop and Yaoshanfang, and to the right is the place where Uncle Tian’s ox cart stopped. Cheng Xia saw that Mrs. Zhang was going straight to the right, and quickly grabbed her. "What are you going to do?"

"Go home." Zhang said expressionlessly.

"What are you doing at home?" Cheng Xia followed up and asked, always feeling that Mrs. Zhang was not in the right state, and Cheng Xia thought she must not be really irritated.

"Go home and find Liu Wen."

"No, don't be impulsive," Cheng Xia hurriedly said. For a person like Mrs. Zhang who has devoted all her efforts to Liu Wen, and even put all her hopes on Liu Wen, when she heard such disillusioning news, she felt angry and thought for a while. It is understandable to find Liu Wen to settle accounts, but one should not be impulsive. If all the cards are revealed, it is tantamount to a complete showdown with Liu Wen, and the follow-up matter will be very complicated.

Cheng Xia thinks that a showdown is okay, but don't let Liu Wen easily turn against the general under the situation of Zhang's rashness, and let the Zhanli people lose the wind.

"I have a sense of propriety," Mrs. Zhang didn't want to say more, and walked directly to the right.After walking for a while, she found that there was no one following behind her, Zhang suddenly turned her head and stared at Cheng Xia, "What are you doing in a daze, let's go."

"Well, I still have something to do now, I'll go back when I'm done." Cheng Xia felt that Zhang's calmness was outrageous, and this reaction really exceeded her expectations.

Mrs. Zhang didn't give Cheng Xia a chance to continue talking, so she came over and pulled her to the right in two or three steps.

"Mother, I really have something to do, you should go back by yourself." Cheng Xia struggled to break free.

"I'll talk about it when I have something to do," Mrs. Zhang couldn't help but dragged Cheng Xia forward, passing by Uncle Tian's bullock cart under the shade of a tree, Mrs. Zhang's footsteps were still non-stop, Mrs. Cheng was taken aback, she broke away from Ms. Zhang with a little force, and asked seriously , "Where are you going?"

"Liu Wen's family." Mrs. Zhang said concisely.

Uh?Cheng Xia was even more puzzled, "What exactly are you going to do, can you let me know first?"

"You'll know if you come with me." Mrs. Zhang still didn't explain, Cheng Xia shrugged helplessly, "I really have something to do, if you want to go, go by yourself, I don't want to step into Liu Wen's house. "

Mrs. Zhang took a deep look at Cheng Xia, saw the hatred in her eyes, and couldn't help but sighed slightly, "Just stay with me, okay?"

When Cheng Xia heard this, her body trembled. There was something wrong with Mrs. Zhang. When did she talk to herself like this before, and in such a soft and pleading tone, as if she wanted Cheng Xia to be by her side? She is the same.

Cheng Xia admitted that Zhang's reaction softened her heart, because she thought of her own mother, who was about the same age as Zhang.My sudden disappearance will also make my mother feel helpless and unreliable.

By coincidence, Cheng Xia followed Mrs. Zhang to Liu Wen's house on the far west edge of the city. The door was closed tightly. Presumably Liu Wen hadn't come back yet, so he should go to the village to pick Mrs. Zhang up.

Mrs. Zhang patted the door, and Liu Jingzhong's voice came from inside. When she opened the door, she saw Mrs. Zhang. Liu Jingzhong asked curiously, "Grandma, didn't my parents go to your house to pick you up? coming."

"Well," Mrs. Zhang responded, and directly pushed Liu Jingzhong away and entered the door. Liu Jingzhong was taken aback, and immediately reacted to block Cheng Xia who was behind Mrs. Zhang, "Whoever let you in, you are not welcome in our family. "

"Tch, you said the same thing as I wanted to come." Cheng Xia didn't want to step into the yard at all, and it would be enough to save face by accompanying Mrs. Zhang. Liu Wen's home was in such a dirty environment, even if she was invited, she would not enter.

Mrs. Zhang turned her head and glared at Liu Jingzhong, then dragged Cheng Xia into the room, "Jingzhong, why are you talking to your aunt at such a young age?"

"Oh," Liu Jingzhong sneered a few times, his appearance and demeanor were completely unlike what a seven-year-old child should have, "I don't think this bitch is my aunt, she scared me half to death when she came last time, My dad said she was a bitch, a shameless bitch... Ah!"

Cheng Xia slapped Liu Jingzhong on the face with a cold face, and successfully stopped his chattering and swearing. Seeing him rushing towards him to fight him desperately, Cheng Xia nimbly suppressed his hands, " Your father is a scholar after all, but he actually taught you a lot of filthy language, and most children can't say such filthy words. Let me ask you," Cheng Xia patted Liu Jingzhong's face, making him look directly at himself, "Speaking to an elder like this is your father and mother's education for you?"

"Fuck, you are not my elder, my father said you are a bitch, you don't listen to my father's words, you should die, why didn't you die last time." Liu Jingzhong struggled hard , but still kept cursing in his mouth.

Cheng Xia closed her eyes fiercely, telling herself not to be unable to resist butchering this child. He was obviously about the same age as Cheng You, but he was a person from two worlds. Just by looking at Liu Jingzhong's performance, he could tell that Liu Wen always treats him well. What did you say.

Mrs. Zhang walked up to Liu Jingzhong, as if examining the child for the first time, and said lightly, "She is your aunt."

"She's not my aunt, my mother doesn't even admit it." Liu Jingzhong said with a straight neck, "My mother said she was just a dog's skin plaster, and when my father won the prize, he would come to rely on my family. Just wanting to take advantage, our family will not let her go." There are no such poor relatives."

Zhang's face suddenly turned cold, "Do you mean our family by poor relatives?"

Liu Jingzhong choked immediately, and swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva, then turned his head away from looking at Mrs. Zhang, and said in a low voice, "My mother didn't talk about you, but about her." Liu Jingzhong pointed at Cheng Xia unceremoniously.

Cheng Xia suddenly laughed angrily, "Let me ask you, whether your father is a scholar, whether he is a scholar or a champion, I don't think much of him at all. Why do you see me relying on my family?"

"Huh," Liu Jingzhong snorted disdainfully, feeling that Cheng Xia's hands were tied all the time, like a chicken being caught, it was very uncomfortable, he tried his best to break free but couldn't, so he could only say viciously, "I Dad told my mother that you are shameless, you don’t do what is arranged for you, you don’t listen to my father’s words, it’s against you. You just want to take advantage of it, and you don’t do anything to help my father take the exam. Wait until after my father becomes an official and you come to recognize relatives, my father said that there is no such good thing."

Cheng Xia laughed twice, looked up at Zhang with a stern face, "You see, this is the good grandson raised by your good daughter and good son-in-law, who has been eating and drinking your food, afraid that we will take advantage of you in the future , Even your son is educated like this, such a child, you wait for him to be filial to you in the future?"

Cheng Xia believes that Liu Jingzhong has always been this kind of virtue, it was just that the Zhang family in the past automatically blocked it. Now that he has seen through the affairs between Zhao Rou and Liu Wen, when he calms down and thinks about Liu Jingzhong's performance, Zhang must have will have their own ideas.

"Let go of me, you bitch, I'll let my father sell you to a brothel." Liu Jingzhong said without hesitation.

"Jingzhong, shut up!" Cheng Xia was about to slap him again, when he heard a voice coming from the room, Cheng Xia and Zhang immediately turned their heads to look over.
