Chapter 10: Working Hungry
"Hey! Don't go! You haven't told me yet... This! Zhang Xiaohua raised her hand to grab Zhou Long, but although he had weak legs, he ran fast.
Zhang Xiaohua grabbed her hand and waved her hand awkwardly, looking helpless.
"Xiaohua, don't you want to marry me?" Qiu Mo looked at Zhang Xiaohua's gaze and kept following Zhou Long's figure, his face full of unhappiness and grievances.
In fact, he had already discovered the strangulation marks on Zhang Xiaohua's neck, and he originally wanted to find a chance to ask what was going on. Now it seems that he must have stayed so that he didn't have to marry him!
Qiu Mo has grown so big, and no friend has ever been willing to play with him. It's always just about playing with him.
When he was young, it was because he was too smart, and his peers were jealous of him and isolated him. Then something happened, and he became stupid, and those who were jealous of him began to bully him.
No one gave him love, let alone a word of justice for him, including his parents.
Until that day half a month ago, Qiu Mo was pulling pigweed on the mountain, and was met by Zhou Long and others when they were playing on the mountain. And then inevitably another insult to him.
Coincidentally, Zhang Xiaohua, who never came to the mountains here in Shangshan Village to pull pigweed, came to the mountain of Shangshan Village that day because the pigweed in the nearby mountains was all ripped out.
That day was the first time Qiu Mo and Zhang Xiaohua met.
Although Zhang Xiaohua had never seen Qiu Mo in the past, she had also heard that there was a fool in Shangshan Village, who was tall and strong, but he only knew how to work, and even if he was bullied, he didn't know how to resist.
That day, Zhang Xiaohua happened to meet Qiu Mo and was bullied. Out of kindness, Zhang Xiaohua said a few words for Qiu Mo to defend him. was hated by Zhou Long.
And the reason why Zhang Xiaohua is notorious is that Zhou Long is behind his back.
He asked people to spread ambiguous rumors about Qiu Mo and Zhang Xiaohua in the village, which caused Zhang Xiaohua to be ruined.
was originally an innocent girl, but her reputation was tarnished.
What's even more infuriating is that the Qiu family will take the opportunity to come to the door to propose. In order not to be affected by Zhang Xiaohua's notoriety, the Zhang family hastily agreed to the Qiu family's proposal.
The original advocate Xiaohua naturally disagreed with this family business. She just saw Qiu Mo pitiful at that time, and had a similar experience to her, so she couldn't help but say a few words of justice for him.
But she never thought that she would get married because of this.
You must know that Qiu Mo is a fool! How could she be willing to marry a fool!
originally advocated that in order to prove the innocence of herself and Qiu Mo, and in order not to marry a fool, Xiaohua chose the road of self-hanging.
However, Zhang Xiaohua doesn't know about these things now, and Qiu Mo only knows that he has somehow married a person who is the first willing to defend himself.
In this regard, Qiu Mo was very happy in his heart.
When Zhang Xiaohua spoke for him in front of Zhou Long for the first time, he was full of gratitude and joy for Zhang Xiaohua in his heart.
Later, when he heard Hu Qiuxia say that she wanted to marry Zhang Xiaohua home to him as a daughter-in-law, he was even happier in his heart.
It's just that he knows now that Zhang Xiaohua didn't want to marry him. and even chose to die in order not to marry him.
"Xiaohua, if you don't want to marry me, I won't marry you, don't hurt yourself."
Knowing that Zhang Xiaohua was unwilling to marry him, Qiu Mo was very sad. But seeing the strangulation marks on Zhang Xiaohua's neck, he was more worried about her.
Zhang Xiaohua looked at Qiu Mo, looking at Qiu Mo, a tall person, but he looked childlike and aggrieved. She was originally a little annoyed in her heart, but she couldn't regain his anger.
Zhang Xiaohua touched her neck, but the strangulation marks were still a little painful.
In fact, when Zhou Long said that the reason why she married Qiu Mo was due to him, combined with everyone's evaluation of her reputation and the series of things about the suicide of the original owner, she could probably guess what happened.
It's just that it doesn't matter what happened before. What matters is what she will do in the future.
She had to find a way out for herself.
"Don't listen to other people's nonsense, if I don't want to marry you, how can I be with you now!" Zhang Xiaohua looked at Qiu Mo and said.
Yes, I don't want to marry Qiu Mo, that's the original Zhang Xiaohua. And she......
Although Qiu Mo is stupid, he is tall and mighty. To survive in this environment, it is good to have such a husband to protect himself.
She had already seen the power of Qiu Mo's outburst just now. There is such a man who gives her a bodyguard for free, why not do it!
Anyway, before she found a way out, Qiu Mo was her 'reliance'.
"You mean you're willing to marry me?" Hearing this, Qiu Mo's eyes suddenly lit up.
Zhang Xiaohua nodded, "Hmm! I'm married, and it's not stupid to ask this question now. ”
"Hey, hey!" Qiu Mo scratched his head and smiled stupidly.
It's past lunchtime. Zhang Xiaohua saw that those who had eaten enough had already started to work in the fields, but she didn't see anyone bringing them food. She touched her hungry stomach, looked at Qiu Mo and asked, "Why is no one bringing us food?" I'm almost hungry, let's go, go back to eat. ”
Saying that, Zhang Xiaohua pulled Qiu Mo and was about to go back.
However, Qiu Mo stood motionless, as if there was something unspeakable.
"What's wrong?" Zhang Xiaohua asked.
"My mother said that I can't go home to eat until I finish my work. So ......"
Hearing this, Zhang Xiaohua was stunned and said with a smile: "Your mother can say it casually!" When we go back to dinner, won't she really give us food? Let's go! Go back to eat and come out again. ”
However, Qiu Mo was not as open as Zhang Xiaohua.
Hu Qiuxia is his mother, and no one knows Hu Qiuxia better than him for so many years.
Usually, when he didn't make a mistake and did all the work, Hu Qiuxia might find an excuse not to give him food. What's more, now that they haven't finished their work and go back, they will definitely not be able to eat.
Looking at Qiu Mo's aggrieved expression, Zhang Xiaohua's face changed, and she said, "Your mother won't be so ruthless, right?" Don't even give you food? ”
Qiu Mo didn't speak, just nodded apologetically.
If he was the only one who didn't have anything to eat, it would have been fine, but now that Zhang Xiaohua didn't have anything to eat, he felt very guilty.
"Does she usually do the same to you? If you don't work, you won't be fed? Zhang Xiaohua asked in disbelief.
Qiu Mo nodded again, and said pitifully: "If my mother is not satisfied with what she has done, she will not let me eat." ”
"No, it won't! Wouldn't you be hungry all the time? ”
"Hmm!" Qiu Mo nodded awkwardly.
Hearing this, Zhang Xiaohua looked at Qiu Mo in disbelief, then nodded at his thick arms and said, "Then why are you still so strong?" Don't tell me you're hungry for this muscle. ”
Qiu Mo was stunned, "I... I do not know... I.........! ”
"Okay, okay, since I don't have anything to eat when I go back, I won't go back. First stock up the peanuts, then put some in a sack, and then we go to find a water source to wash and eat some peanuts to pad our stomachs. Zhang Xiaohua said.
Anyway, she's hungry now, and you want her to work hungry? No way.
