Chapter 371: A Last Resort
"Sister Sisi......"
Zhou Cailian looked at the person in front of her, her face was a little pale, her body was stiff, and her eyes were a little unnaturally floating around, this is not looking at the person in front of her.
"You...... Huh. ”
As soon as Si Si saw her like this, he knew that she was weak-hearted, and the reprimanding words she wanted to say were also stuck in her throat, and she couldn't go up or down, and she choked uncomfortably, so she could only sigh lightly and said, "Don't you invite us in and sit?" ”
"Oh, well, please come in."
Zhou Cailian seemed to have just woken up from a dream, and got out of the way for people to come in.
It would be better if the look was more natural.
Si Si and Lu Yan walked in and looked at the small courtyard.
The place is not big, but it is more than enough for the father and daughter to live, and there is a small courtyard in the middle, in which there is a peach tree, and a table is placed at the bottom, which is probably used by the father and daughter to eat out.
There are also two wings, a firewood room and a kitchen, which are quite complete in terms of configuration.
"Sit down, I'll make you tea." Zhou Cailian invited them into the room to find chairs, let the two of them sit down, and quickly poured a pot of tea.
After a period of scramble, the three of them were finally able to sit down and talk.
"Tell me, what the hell is going on?" Si Si looked at the nervous person in front of him, slowed down his voice as much as possible, made himself appear more gentle, and said, "I didn't come here to question you or anything, but do you know about those people in the Zhou family?" They're not good at it! But you have to think it through for yourself. ”
"Sister Sisi, I, I'm ......"
Zhou Cailian squeaked and whined several times, and she didn't know what to say, she raised her head in a panic and crashed into Si Si's gentle eyes, she couldn't help but be stunned, and then cried loudly.
"I'm sorry, sister, I don't want to, I, I'm in trouble."
"Talk to you well, why did you cry all of a sudden, don't cry, I don't know and think I bullied you." Si Si looked at the person who suddenly cried in front of him, he was a little flustered, and he didn't know what to do, so he could only hand over the handkerchief he was carrying and said, "Wipe your tears and say slowly, don't worry." ”
"Hiccup, I ......"
Zhou Cailian suddenly cried and cried a little hard, crying for a while, and then slowly calmed down while burping.
"They say that my father is a ...... of the Zhou family"
"What?!" Si Si and Lu Yan were shocked when they heard the news, "What the hell is going on?" You make it clear. ”
"That's what it looks like." Zhou Cailian said while hiccuping.
Zhou Zhong is a fugitive slave of the Zhou family, and was discovered by the eldest young master of the Zhou family before, and he used this as a handle to deal with Si Si, and Si Si's business, which was already harmed, was almost gone, so he finally stopped, and did not care about the two of them anymore, waiting for Si Si to go over to ask the Zhou family after he had no way out.
But she didn't expect that she and the Qi family would join forces, not to mention that the business was getting better and better, and robbed the Zhou family of a lot of business.
The eldest young master of the Zhou family wanted to threaten Zhou Zhong again to help him do things, but Zhou Zhong had already done something sorry for her once before, and now he was going to do it again, and he couldn't get over it with his conscience, so he simply refused to come, but he didn't expect to be hated by the Zhou family because of this.
"Daddy secretly changed the account book in the store before, and then I felt sorry for Sister Si Si, so I didn't give the account book in the store to the people of the Zhou family, but carefully changed the numbers and took a fake account book to the Zhou family." Zhou Cailian sobbed and said: "I thought it was foolproof, but because of this incident, the Zhou family wanted to threaten Sister Sisi with that account book, but after discovering that the account book in my hand was also fake, I arrested my father in a fit of anger." ”
"Well, I originally wanted to report to the officials, but they colluded with the government, and no one would pay attention to my report to the officials." Zhou Cailian's expression was a little gloomy, paused, and then continued: "That Zhou family son took a fancy to me and said to give me two choices, either help him do things and deal with Sisi, or marry into his family and become one of his concubines in his backyard." ”
"I don't want to be ungrateful, but I want to rescue my father, so I had no choice but to write a letter, quit my job, and plan to go to Zhou's mansion tomorrow."
After Si Si heard all the reasons for this matter, his heart was a little complicated.
I never thought that I was just kindly helping Cailian and their family, and I accidentally fell into the pit of the Zhou family like this.
I don't know, should I say that I was unlucky to help the fugitive slaves of the Zhou family, or should I say that Zhou Cailian and they were too unlucky, they were supposed to live a good life, but because of themselves, they were involved in this conspiracy.
"Sister, I know, it was you who helped our family at the beginning, if it weren't for you, our family might not have survived that winter, where can we be fed and clothed like now, not to mention, my brother can still go to school in the school."
Zhou Cailian wiped her tears, revealing a crying red eye, and said in a nasal voice: "Let me solve this matter myself, I can't involve you, sister, it's none of your business." ”
"Silly girl."
It's just a kid!
Looking at Zhou Cailian, who was a few years younger than herself, Si Si was very distressed, but did this matter really have nothing to do with herself?
"After all, I hurt you." Si Si said slowly: "Zhou Zimo's person has come to me for trouble several times, but every time he is blocked by me, he actually started from my side, there is no way to go, the curve starts from your side, and wants to use you to blackmail me." ”
"If you didn't tell me these things, but obediently entered the Zhou Mansion as a concubine tomorrow, he would have more reason to hold you firmly in his hands and threaten me with your safety."
"So it's not just your business, it's mine, you understand?" Si Si patted Zhou Cailian's shoulder and said earnestly: "And you have to think about it, if you enter the Zhou Mansion to be a concubine, it will be difficult to come out again, and it will be difficult to even see your father and brother." ”
"Think about it, your father is too old to take care of himself, if you can't see him and can't be by his side, what will your father do? And your brother, your brother is still young and can't take on the burden of supporting the family, can you just bear to leave the two of them into the wolf's den? ”
