Reborn in 1974, crying with red eyes while hugging her rough husband
Chapter 165: It’s better to face it head on than to avoid it
"Let's meet at the square at six tomorrow morning. We agreed to come!"
Afraid that Shen Zhizhu would go back on his word, he left with a group of people in a hurry without saying a word. His speed was so fast that it was astonishing.
After they left, Uncle Li spoke tremblingly.
"Why would you agree to them? You can tell at a glance that they have bad intentions. Du Manjun is not a good person at first glance, and his father treated you like that. You should not go. For 45 yuan, you can go with them. You don't have to do anything, and you get free things. How can it be so good?"
Uncle Li saw through it and thought that Shen Zhizhu agreed only because he wanted the forty-five yuan. He thought that Shen Zhizhu was young and didn't know how treacherous people are.
Shen Zhizhu nodded.
"I know. I just want to see what they are up to. I can also make 45 dollars for free. Why not?"
Seeing that Shen Zhizhu knew the twists and turns involved, he stopped trying to persuade her. Shen Zhizhu and Xu Haonan's brains were much better than his, so they shouldn't suffer any loss.
Thinking of this, he felt relieved.
"Okay, since you know what's going on, I'm relieved. Let's go back and have dinner at home today. I'll let you taste my cooking. Alas, it's freezing cold. Let's go inside."
Seeing Uncle Li shivering in the cold wind, Shen Zhizhu pulled Xu Haonan towards Aunt Li's house, smiling and talking as they walked.
"Okay, then let's have dinner at my uncle and aunt's house today, but I'm sorry to bother you."
Uncle Li sniffed and rubbed his arms.
"What are you talking about? You can tutor my son, which is better than anything else. Let alone a meal, if you and Haonan eat every meal here, your aunt and I will be even happier."
Xu Haonan also joined the conversation. Although she didn't know why Shen Zhizhu agreed to go even though she knew the other party's motives were not pure, she definitely did not do so because of the mere forty-something yuan.
"I'm going to be lazy today and try Uncle Li's cooking."
Shen Zhizhu spoke again.
"Uncle Li, please go in first. I'll go get the vegetables we saved. We can't waste them."
Uncle Li responded and told them to go and come back quickly.
"I should have gone with you guys, but this damn weather is just too cold. I can't stand it anymore, so I'm going to go back and wait for you guys. Hurry up."
Shen Zhizhu pulled Xu Haonan to the kitchen to get some leftover dishes from the morning. Xu Haonan tried to hold everything in his own hands.
"Put your hands away. It's cold outside. Don't catch a cold."
Shen Zhizhu was considering how to start his speech. After all, his guess was somewhat unusual.
[How should I start? Du Manjun has invested so much money, and what he wants is definitely not some small fight, it may be related to our lives. ]
When Xu Haonan heard this, he was busy picking up things and walked out with Shen Zhizhu, pretending to ask casually.
"Du Manjun has bad intentions. He is very likely to avenge us for his father and make us pay with our lives. You should have seen that. Why do you still want to go?"
"So you guessed it, too. I did guess it, but it's not a good idea to keep avoiding it. He did it out in the open this time. If we refuse, what if he's doing something bad in the dark? We're in the open, but he's in the dark. If he wants to retaliate against us, we won't be able to defend ourselves. We might as well take this opportunity to see what he's going to do."
Shen Zhizhu thought that it would be best if he could find evidence and send the suspect to the police station so that the whole family would be whole again.
"He just kept insisting that I drive the tractor. I guess he would tamper with the tractor and pretend that we accidentally broke it and ask us to pay for a new one, or use the tractor to kill both of us."
"If he wants to do something, he will first confirm whether we agree. Once we agree to his request, he will definitely do something with the tractor."
Xu Haonan was not a fool either. He realized from Du Manjun's attitude that this matter was not simple. Combined with Shen Zhizhu's guess, he felt that Shen Zhizhu's guess was very accurate.
We have to gather early tomorrow morning. If you want to do something, then...
"Tonight is the best time for him to take action!"
Xu Haonan and Shen Zhizhu said this at the same time.
Shen Zhizhu patted Xu Haonan's shoulder, but felt that his hand was very cold outside, so he quickly retracted it.
"Sometimes, even if we tolerate and back down again and again, they won't be grateful, nor will they reflect, and they won't stop. They will just think that we are afraid and want to take the opportunity to get rid of us."
When Shen Zhizhu said this, his mind kept flashing back to how he had been tolerant in his previous life, but gained nothing and only death.
Thinking of the tragic death of her own in her previous life, her eyes gradually became firm. She looked at Xu Haonan and spoke slowly.
"Instead of avoiding it, it's better to confront it head-on!"
Xu Haonan felt inexplicably passionate after hearing these words, and he suddenly smiled.
"Don't worry, no matter what happens, no matter when, I will protect you."
This sentence made Shen Zhizhu feel sad. She knew that the other party was speaking from the heart. Just like how she had treated him in her previous life, he still collected her body regardless of the danger and brought it home for a proper burial.
Find the person who hurt you and die with him.
"Why are you crying? Are you scared? I can go by myself tomorrow. It's too dangerous. Just wait for me at home."
It turned out that Shen Zhizhu started crying without realizing it. Xu Haonan thought that Shen Zhizhu was afraid, so he offered some thoughtful suggestions.
Out of his heart, he didn't want Shen Zhizhu to step into danger.
Shen Zhizhu shook her head. She had died once and was not afraid of this. She was just moved and felt a little emotional.
"I'm fine. I'm not scared. Will you always protect me?"
Xu Haonan really wanted to free up one hand to touch Shen Zhizhu's head, but his hands were full of dishes, so he had no choice.
Shen Zhizhu saw it and took the two dishes.
Xu Haonan chuckled softly, and used his free hand to pull Shen Zhizhu into his arms. He spoke every word as if it was a vow.
"I, Xu Haonan, will protect Shen Zhizhu no matter what happens. This is not a lie. It comes from the bottom of my heart."
Shen Zhizhu held the dishes in his hands to prevent them from falling. He held them with both hands, but after holding them for a while, he felt his arms were sore and had to let go.
"I will go with you tomorrow. I am not afraid. After nightfall tonight, we will wait and confirm our guess."
Shen Zhizhu did not return the dish to Xu Haonan, but walked happily in front.
"Let's go, Uncle Li and Aunt Li can't wait any longer."
"Oh my, my brother and sister are hugging each other outside the door."
It turned out that Uncle Li did not close the door when he went back. Seeing that they had not come back for a long time, he thought that they had a lot of things to take, so he asked Erdan to go and pick them up.
As a result, when Erdan came out, he saw Shen Zhizhu and Xu Haonan hugging each other. He did not disturb them, but ran back and waited.
Now as soon as they came in, they saw Erdan teasing them with a smile.
"Good for you. You even dare to tease your elder brother and sister. You have to do five extra pages of homework today."
