Only this green, not disappointing the spring

Chapter 23 Entering the City (1)

Zhou Hu was really angry.

There's nothing wrong with his wife except that she can't control her mouth!

It seems okay at normal times, but once you get addicted to chatting with people, your brain can’t keep up with the speed of your mouth.

He didn't take the incident with the third brother's family seriously when the woman told him nonsense last time, but he never expected that the situation would develop to the point where the whole village was in a panic.

When something happened in Zhou Changkuan's family, I was less than 30 years old at that time, and I went to join in the fun excitedly.

But when he witnessed with his own eyes the mother and son being burned to death, he was almost frightened to death by the tragic scene.

It has been ten years, and I still occasionally wake up from nightmares.

Zhou Hu just doesn't have much affection for his younger brother, but he is not a cold-blooded murderer. He is not bad enough to deliberately kill his own brother.

What's more, what his father said was very right about the situation at that time. If Li's mother and daughter were to take advantage of them, no one in their Zhou family would have a good ending!

He felt a surge of fear and was not satisfied, so he kicked Wang hard again.

Wang, who was still crying, was kicked in the chest by Zhou Hu and almost died from the pain.

Does this damn man want to beat her to death?

Wang finally couldn't help but explode.

She was almost a grandmother, but she was beaten so badly by her own man without any mercy at all. How could she bear it?

He suddenly jumped up from the ground, pounced on Zhou Hu with a mouth full of foul language, scratching and biting him.

Although Wang was a very strong woman, she was eventually pinned to the ground by Zhou Hu with her hands tied behind her back due to the disparity in strength.

But Zhou Hu did not get what he wanted. Wang scratched his left cheek, leaving a bloody scratch, and it looked like he would probably be left with a scar.

Zhou Hu was really going crazy. This damn woman was relying on her son and his wife being married, so he couldn't divorce her and send her back to her parents' home!

Looking at Wang's dull square face, which was now pressed to the ground with a distorted and hideous expression, the more he looked at it, the more disgusted he became.

Feeling extremely disgusted, he released his grip on Wang, threatened her a few times, and then walked out of the room.

Wang got up from the ground with a vicious look on her face.

……

The next day, Zhou Fu came to Zhou Jun's house as promised.

Li told Zhou Fu some precautions in taking care of Zhou Jun. Seeing that Zhou Fu seemed to not understand, she felt worried.

Zhou Xiaonan originally planned to continue collecting herbs in the mountains after his mother and sister left, but when he saw his uncle's condition, he took the initiative to ask to stay at home.

When the mother and daughter arrived at the door of Old Man Liu's house, someone was already waiting there.

The villagers would always make an appointment with Old Man Liu the night before to set out, and then leave the next day when everyone had arrived. When they got closer, they found that it was the short and strong woman who had come to the house to cause trouble that day.

The woman also saw them and cursed "what bad luck" in her heart, but a smile immediately appeared on her face.

"Hey, isn't this Miss Li? It seems your man is in really good health, but you guys must be feeling depressed. Are you going to the city to relax?"

Li felt annoyed as soon as she saw the woman. How could it be such a coincidence that she had to take the same train with this person!

"Sister-in-law, look at what you said. Who would go to the city for fun for nothing?" After saying that, he raised the basket on his arm and motioned the woman to look carefully.

Then continued:

"These are two rolls of cotton cloth I wove some time ago. I wanted to save more and sell them later. But the food in my house is almost gone, so I can only rely on these rolls of cotton cloth to help me out."

After saying this, he immediately walked to a corner with his daughter and started chatting in private, not giving the woman a chance to continue chatting.

The donkey cart is not big, it is actually a cart with two wheels.

The donkey pulling the cart was a bit old and could barely carry four people.

After the four people arrived, Old Man Liu drove out of the village, holding a thin willow branch in his hand and shouting.

Feeling sorry for the donkey being too tired, Old Man Liu had to jump off the cart from time to time and run a short distance after it. When he was tired, he would jump back on the shaft to rest for a while, and repeat this process over and over again.

Zhou Xiaoxi felt a little excited. She had been in this time and space for more than half a year, and this was her first time leaving Huaihua Village.

She was very curious about what the outside world looked like.

Sitting in the car, several people gradually felt sleepy due to the continuous bumps, and they all drooped their heads, half asleep and half awake.

Only Zhou Xiaoxi opened his eyes wide, greedily admiring the surrounding scenery.

Although it is already late summer, the flowers, plants and trees everywhere seem to be trying their best to grasp this last chance and are growing exceptionally lushly.

The scenery in the countryside is indeed beautiful, and it is even cleaner and clearer than in the previous life.

There is no noise, no plastic bags flying all over the floor. Even the smoke rising from the kitchen in the distance is comfortable and beautiful to look at.

My cheeks felt a little cold, and when I wiped them with my hands I realized that I had been crying without knowing when.

Zhou Xiaoxi laughed at herself. She didn't expect that she had such a delicate side. She was so moved that she cried when she saw the beautiful scenery.

Pull yourself back to reality and let reason slowly return. Although the scenery here is fascinating, it is a place without human rights and where people are eaten without leaving any bones.

Ordinary people who have been struggling for life all year round don't think the rabbits running in the fields are cute. They just want to catch them and take them home to kill them and have a big meal.

I don’t even think the wild flowers on the roadside are beautiful. It would be more practical to pick a handful of wild vegetables.

But Zhou Xiaoxi yearns for such a life. She thinks rabbits are cute and flowers are beautiful.

In order to live such a life, she has to be in high spirits and overcome the current difficulties.

After being jolted by a donkey cart with no shock-absorbing effect for nearly an hour, Zhou Xiaoxi, with a pale face, finally reached the city gate.

The governance of Da'an State was very popular among the people, and the local county government was not allowed to collect entry fees at the city gates.

But for safety reasons, all citizens entering the city had to be checked one by one. Li's hands and feet were cold with nervousness, fearing that the jewelry hidden in the secret pockets of her clothes would be found and embezzled by the police.

Zhou Xiaoxi held Li's hand and comforted her in a low voice, and the two of them entered the city smoothly.

How could a county government that didn't even allow city entrance fees to be collected allow its officials to plunder the people's wealth? Zhou Xiaoxi felt that the emperor of Da'an must be a wise ruler.

Old Man Liu did not go into the city as it was inconvenient for him to stop his donkey cart.

Besides, his donkey Deshui was tired, so he had to find a shady place for it to eat and drink enough and have a good rest.

The short and fat woman originally wanted to follow Li's mother and daughter to see what they were going to do.

It's just that little bit of cotton cloth. Why both of them come to the city? They have to pay for riding in the donkey cart.

How could Zhou Xiaoxi, who was so smart, not guess what this person was thinking? As soon as he entered the city, he pulled Li and quickly ran into a rouge shop through many twists and turns.

When the shop owner saw a customer, she was about to put on a smile and greet them, but she saw a mother and daughter coming in. They were dressed shabbily and looked like country women.

I couldn't help but roll my eyes and pointed at him with disdain:

"Hey, if you can't afford to buy anything, don't come into our store. Your feet are covered in mud. If you dirty the floor of our store, you will have to pay for it!"
