Chapter Thirty-Six: Exchanging His Life for Glory and Wealth
Looking at Tang You, who made a childlike act of revenge, Su Xue's expression was a little complicated.
He seemed to want to stop talking, but after thinking about it, he still let go of Tang You's hand.
Tang You looked at Su Xue's eyes, a trace of doubt flashed in the depths of his eyes, and then said as if nothing had happened.
"Anyway, I'm very happy, these people's hearts are too dark."
Su Xue scratched Tang You's tender nose, and then made a phone call.
Called twice, but no one answered.
Su Xue thought about it and re-edited the text message.
"I'm a friend of Qin Xiaoming, and he gave me a notebook before." Su Xue took a photo of the notebook and sent it out.
Two minutes later, there was a reply.
"It's okay to come over, they have to go back to cook every day at noon."
……
Qin Xiaoming's house.
The woman in front of her was a typical peasant woman, wearing coarse cloth clothes, wearing a torn apron, with thick yellow calluses on her rough fingers, her perennial face carved traces of time on her face that could not be erased, and a pair of eyes that were still transparent had a agility that did not fit her age.
But when she saw Su Xue and the others, she almost lowered her head, very unconfident.
"Thank you." Zhou Qin took the notebook, bowed to Su Xue, and tears fell to the ground with tears in her eyes, smashing into the earthen floor.
Tang You reached out to straighten her and handed her a tissue.
"My clothes are dirty. You two haven't eaten yet, I'm not busy yet. Please wait a minute. ”
Zhou Qin took a step back, didn't take the tissue, just wiped away her tears with her wrist.
"This thing is very important to me, I usually have a bad memory, some animals are sick, when to feed the medicine to my husband to remind me, without this book, they probably won't be able to take the medicine on time."
As he spoke, he turned around and quickly brought two dishes from the kitchen, a plate of cold beans and a plate of stir-fried cabbage.
"You eat first, and I'll go get some meat." Zhou Qin said hospitablely.
was stopped by Su Xue.
"It's okay, it's good, let's eat it simply, I liked to eat cold beans the most when I was a child."
I took a bite of the beans and put them in my mouth, which was sweet and delicious, scalded soft and glutinous, and mixed with flavor.
"Sister Qin, you can sit too, I don't know if it's appropriate to call Sister Qin, haha." Su Xue said with a smile.
"I'm twenty-two."
Su Xue was stunned, he was actually the same age as himself.
But that face looked like it was thirty or forty years old.
"I'm getting older." Zhou Qin seemed to see Su Xue's doubts, and she explained.
During the meal, no one spoke, and they could always hear the sounds of many animals behind them.
After eating a bowl of rice cleanly, Su Xue asked.
"Actually, selling this land is a lot less burden for you." Su Xue was blunt.
Zhou Qin raised his eyes, looked at the sincere Su Xue, and put down the dishes and chopsticks in his hand.
"You two, if you finish eating, you can go back long ago. Otherwise, it may not be convenient to wait a minute. ”
Su Xue knew that Zhou Qin had a misunderstanding and explained.
"I'm not a developer, so I don't mean to persuade you to sell. It's just that...... Curious. ”
Zhou Qin's eyes blinked, but he still sighed and said.
"Qin Xiaoming won't drive tiredly, he was killed by those black-hearted bosses."
Su Xue and Tang You looked at each other, the basic statement of the police at present is fatigue and improper operation, and Su Xue also asked Qin Xiaoming, he only couldn't say clearly, at the moment of the accident, he only felt that the brakes were as light as cotton, and even he felt that he might be tired.
In this way, things are not as simple as they seem.
Su Xue asked. "How do you know?"
Zhou Qin didn't answer Su Xue's question immediately, she was still wary of Su Xue.
"Two guests, do you want to see the animals?"
After a simple cleanup, Zhou Qin put on a set of simple breeding overalls, and carefully disinfected himself and Su Xue, and then entered the aid station located at the back of the yard.
Only then did Su Xue realize that the space behind this courtyard was really not small, and more than ten simple cement compartments had been built in it.
Larger stray dogs have special cages, handmade cat climbing frames and toys look old and new, and some crippled animals are kept in separate rooms with clean rooms.
Each room has enough lighting, normal ventilation, clean floors, and even no big smell as expected.
"You took good care of them."
"They're like our children." Zhou Qin said, and there was finally light in his eyes.
"It costs a lot of money to feed them." Tang You looked at it, there were about a hundred stray animals here.
"Hmm. In the past, there were volunteers who would send a lot of supplies, and there would also be good people who would donate some, in fact, taking care of them was not only a little tired, but it was still very interesting. It's just ...... now"
Su Xue knew that since Qin Xiaoming's accident, those volunteers probably rarely came.
When Zhou Qin arrived, those animals rushed over, looking at her very enthusiastically.
"They used to be pet dogs, not meat dogs. Humans have given them warmth and hope, so they should always love it. Zhou Qin said while expertly cleaning up some feces.
Su Xue is not an animal protectionist, in fact, he has also eaten dog meat, but he also knows the difference between breeding and pets.
Many black-hearted businessmen cull other people's pet dogs for food, no different from killing other people's family members.
Zhou Qin stood up suddenly, as if a force that resisted everything burst out from her thin body.
"You say, why do they insist on my land, and take away their last home?"
Su Xue heard this, but he could only shake his head, he didn't know much about garden planning.
"Because there is a mine on the mountain behind me."
Got mines?
Zhou Qin finally said what she knew, and when she saw Su Xue and Tang You's eyes looking at the animals, she unconditionally chose to believe it.
"So, it's not that you don't sell to them because you think the price is too low, but that their purpose is not pure?"
Tang You's expression also froze for the first time.
Su Xue probably also knew the developer's plan, where to build what tourist area, they were in the name of repairing tourist areas, to explore minerals, it is best to mine quietly.
After the resources here are exhausted, he will leave and make a lot of money.
In the end, the villagers and Zhou Qin's family will have nothing left.
These operations are very common in the hands of some profiteers.
"Then why don't you tell the villagers?" Tang You asked.
"If I tell the truth, I guess I will accompany Xiao Ming, I'm not afraid of death, the key is what to do with them?"
Zhou Qin touched the fur of the cat and dog in front of him, they looked so carefree, and their little red tongue licked Zhou Qin's palm.
Su Xue was stunned, Qin Xiaoming didn't tell him this.
"At first, I really thought the price was too low." "We didn't find a good place to put them, and the developer didn't give us a place to transit, so we planned to delay." Originally, Xiao Ming also said that dragging the village to develop is not good. I want to just raise the price a little more and sell it. ”
Thinking of that time, Qin Xiaoming was still thinking about the development of the village, but thinking of the criticism and framing of them by the people in the village just now, Su Xue felt a little uncomfortable.
I only listened to Zhou Qin continue.
"However, I didn't expect Qin Xiaoming to have an accident, and on the night of the accident, their developer came to the door and even bluntly told me the truth."
"They just planned to look for mines, and now if we don't sell it, we can't afford to pay the compensation for the car accident, and the court will close our aid station, and finally they will sell it at a low price, which means the same, or even cheaper......"
"Now I am alive because they are still waiting for me to open my mouth, so that I can confess that I have exchanged my husband's life for their glory and wealth. Use the lives of these cute animals to achieve their dream of making a fortune. ”
Just before Su Xue and the others woke up from their shock, at this time, there were bursts of roaring equipment and car horns outside the door.
