Chapter Seventy-Five: Sold Them
Su Hengyu lifted the curtain and looked in the direction of Zhou Keji's finger, only to see a thin young man lying on the side of the road without knowing whether he was alive or dead, the wooden stick in his hand rolled to the side, and the paleness on his face was extremely obvious.
Su Hengyu told Zhou Keji to get out of the carriage to take a look, and after getting the order, Zhou Keji immediately went to see the situation of the strange young man.
He briefly probed, and then replied: "I'm still alive, and I still have a smell of medicine on my body, I guess I have some kind of illness, and I didn't hold it for a while, so I fainted." β
Su Hengyu nodded: "You first find someone nearby and see if you can settle them." Xie An went to a nearby pharmacy to find a doctor, and said that his life was at stake, so he asked the other party to come and take a look. β
The two nodded yes and immediately went their separate ways.
Zhou Keji found the family where the young man fainted nearby, and when he saw that there was still a light in the other party's house, he knew that the people in the house were not sleeping, so he politely called the person out.
He briefly told the owner of the house about the young man, and said: "This little Langjun doesn't look very well, if he is allowed to lie on the ground all night, I am afraid that he will get sicker and sicker." Do you have a place in your home where he can take a break? My master has already arranged for someone to go to the doctor, and when the doctor comes to see his condition, if there is no major problem, we will take the person away to take care of him. β
This couple originally had some kind of bad people like Zhou Keji, but after listening to his words, and then looking at the young man who was half-held in his arms by Yan Shen, the wife in the couple immediately shouted: "Oh, boy, father, that's not the small courtyard of the Hua family!" β
Only then did the couple recognize the identity of the young man, and now they didn't need to say much about it, the two of them hurriedly welcomed them into the house, and immediately cleaned up a room for the young man and let him lie on the bed.
The wife even brought hot water for the first time and poured it into the boy's stomach.
Zhou Keji saw the couple's movements and knew that the young man must be more familiar with them, so he asked the young man about his identity and the situation at home.
The husband and wife are also warm-hearted people, and they have long known that the Hua family is not in a good situation now, and they often help the brother and sister, and they feel very sorry for these two outstanding children.
Now listening to Zhou Keji's question, he immediately told him everything he knew, and he didn't forget to tell Zhao Chengming about it.
At the end, the wife couldn't help but scold: "When Xiaoting's father and mother were still there, people like Zhao Chengming couldn't even touch the heels of the Hua family!" As a result, after Xiaoting's father and mother were killed by mountain bandits, Manxi's marriage was ignored. That Zhao Chengming has always liked Xiaoxi, and thought that he spent so much dowry to marry someone back, so he should be better to her. Who would have thought that it was a brute at all, and Manxi was still pregnant, so he would dare to do something to her! β
The wife of the couple seemed to look down on the Zhao family very much, not only told all the things that the Zhao family had done, but also did not forget to scold both the mother and son.
Zhou Keji and Yan listened to her carefully, but he didn't feel anything. After all, they also hate this kind of bastard who beats his pregnant wife, but he doesn't talk about people behind his back, so he doesn't move much.
It's just that Su Hengyu's side frowned slightly after hearing the report of the people below: "Hua Manxi, why do I seem to have heard this name somewhere?" β
She thought about it carefully, and quickly figured out the identity of this person from the corner of her memoryβwasn't this the person she had asked people to inquire about before, and who was suitable for hiring to manage her flower fields?!
Recalling this, Su Hengyu linked Hua Manting's situation at the moment with what happened to the Hua family, and then immediately sensed that something was wrong, and ordered Ziyun and others to inquire about the location of the Hua family and let people go to his house to see the situation.
Ziyun and the others quickly replied, saying that the Hua family's house was empty, and the little sister in their family was gone.
It just so happened that Xie An also came over with the doctor at this moment, the doctor had good medical skills and was also a kind-hearted person, so he would follow Xie An to come out at night to save people.
Under the doctor's movements, the extremely weak Hua Manting finally woke up leisurely.
After waking up, Hua Manting grabbed the sleeves of the people next to him and begged as soon as possible: "Quick, go to Zhao's house quickly!" He's beating my sister, he's going to kill my sister! Xiaoqing heard the news and ran to Zhao's house, go find them, they are in danger! β
After saying this, Hua Manting's cough burst out uncontrollably, making him almost vomit out his lungs.
Su Hengyu also walked into the house at this time, and when she heard Hua Manting's words, she immediately gave her husband a sum of money, asked the other party to show them the way, and then took Yan Shen and a few people to drive the carriage towards the Zhao family.
At this moment, the Zhao family is in chaos, after Hua Manxi was beaten hard by Zhao Chengming, her forehead hit the table on the side, and she lay on the ground without moving.
The mother and son of the Zhao family completely ignored her life and death, scolded people again, and then went to rest.
But because Hua Manxi's daughter was too young, she cried uneasily without her mother, and the mother and son were so noisy that they wanted to call Hua Manxi up to take care of their daughter.
Who would have thought that when they turned people over and looked, there was a bleeding wound on the other party's forehead!
The mother and son of the Zhao family were immediately frightened, and just as they were thinking about how to deal with it, Hua Manqing kicked the door with a knife and rushed in.
As soon as she saw the wound on her sister's forehead, her reason was instantly burned clean by anger, and she was about to cut Zhao Chengming with a knife.
The mother and son of the Zhao family were taken aback and hurriedly ran around the yard to dodge.
Although Hua Manqing is holding a knife, she is a little girl in the end, and her strength is not as strong as that of Zhao Chengming, an adult man.
After several swings of the knife failed, Zhao Chengming found an opportunity, took away her knife, and slapped the little girl hard, directly knocking the little girl to the ground.
Seeing that Hua Manqing was no longer a threat, the mother and son of the Zhao family breathed a sigh of relief.
"I told you not to marry the little slut of the Hua family, what kind of brothers and sisters are she here? Our house provides them with food and drink, and now her sister dares to use a knife on us! If that little slut wakes up, she won't be able to poison the food while we're not paying attention! β
As soon as Mrs. Zhao saw that there was no danger, that pride surged back up, and she belittled and insulted the sisters as much as possible.
Zhao Chengming was also dazed by today's events, looking at the mess in the yard, and for a while he felt that the old lady was right.
"So what do we do now?" Zhao Chengming slapped Hua Manqing unconscious again, and then began to discuss with the old lady.
Mrs. Zhao's gaze swept over the two people on the ground, and a trace of ruthlessness flashed in her eyes: "Anyway, there is no one in the Hua family except for a sick seedling." Today we have torn our faces with these two little sluts, and this family will definitely not be able to live in peace in the future, so it is better to sell them both together! β
Mrs. Zhao said seriously: "The eldest one has already given birth, so he will definitely not be able to sell it at a good price." But the little one is young, and he looks good, and if he sells it into the flower building, he can also exchange it for some silver. When the time comes, we will have the money to marry you another daughter-in-law who can give birth to a son!" β
Mrs. Zhao's words won Zhao Chengming's heart, and he immediately asked his wife to find two coarse cloth bags, and wanted to put the two of them into the bags so that they could be taken out tomorrow.
It's just that before the two of them put the Hua sisters in the bag, the door of the Zhao family was kicked open again.
And this time, what appeared behind the door was Su Hengyu with an indifferent face, and Yan Shen and his party who followed her.
