Chapter 187 It's a bargain for him
In the evening, everyone watched her leave the village with just a simple bag.
It is said that Chen Guifang would never give up, but He Qing had made up her mind. She kowtowed to the village chief and begged him to write her a farewell letter. Her forehead was bleeding. Zhang Shunchang could not bear it and wrote it for her.
He Qing took the book for the rest of the class and laughed out loud.
"Why should she be happy? At least she has a home in the Li family. If she becomes a divorced wife, not only will she not be liked by her parents, but where else can she go in the future?"
The villagers watched the figure leave the village and shook their heads.
When Sun Tingfang found out, he told Zhang Chunyu and chased after him out of the village.
The villagers looked at her and thought she had gone to town to see her son again.
Sun Tingfang caught up with He Qing.
When He Qing saw that it was her, he was still somewhat respectful. However, seeing that she had many wounds on her face, he did not dare to ask more questions.
Sun Tingfang looked at the blood on her forehead. She had also heard what happened today.
"Let me ask you one question, are you pregnant?"
He Qing finally nodded: "If I wasn't pregnant, I wouldn't have asked to leave the marriage." After all, asking to leave the marriage is not a glorious thing.
After saying that, she touched her belly and said, "The doctor said it's been two months. If it goes on any longer, I'm afraid I won't be able to cover my belly."
After listening to her, Sun Tingfang was moved: "Where are you going in the future?"
He Qing looked at Sun Tingfang and said without hesitation: "I want to go find Zhang Long. I have inquired about it these two days. He may be exiled to a distant place to do hard labor. I will follow him. In this way, at least the child will be born with a father and a mother. But if he doesn't want me, it's okay. I will find a place to give birth to the child myself."
When Sun Tingfang heard what she said, tears welled up in her eyes and she took out four taels of silver from her pocket and gave it to her.
He Qing didn't dare to accept it.
"Take it! I thought you were not a good woman, otherwise you wouldn't have gotten involved with Zhang Long. But Zhang Long was in prison and refused to give you up no matter what. I guessed that he didn't mention you because you really had his child. Otherwise, with his personality, I'm afraid he would have told about the affair between you and him a long time ago."
He Qing was deeply moved when he heard her say this.
"This four taels of silver is the betrothal gift that Li Taohua returned to me. Just treat it as your betrothal gift from our family!"
He Qing knelt down immediately.
After Sun Tingfang helped her up, she said nothing, wiped her tears, and turned away.
He Qing's eyes were a little red. He clenched the silver and went to the town without looking back.
Sun Tingfang went back, thought for a long time, and went to see Zhang Daniu in person the next day with his things.
Zeng Hua naturally threw the things to her just like he did yesterday.
But Sun Tingfang kowtowed outside the house: "I beg you, I just want to see your Daniu and say a few words to him, I beg you, I beg you!"
Zeng Hua was of course unwilling, and Zhang Daniu woke up.
"Do you think that if you plead with Daniu, we will forgive your Zhang Long? You are dreaming!"
Sun Tingfang shook her head: "I'm not asking him to forgive my Zhang Long, I just want to say a few words to him."
After saying this, she kowtowed, and the villagers looked at her and shook their heads. Sun Tingfang was used to being domineering in the village. When had they ever seen her being so servile?
Finally, Zhang Da Niu ran out and said, "Mom, my brother said stop arguing. With so many people watching, it will make people laugh. Why not let her in and see what she has to say?"
Only then did Zeng Hua let the person in.
But everyone was there and Sun Tingfang didn't know how to start.
Zhang Daniu leaned against the head of the bed and let Zeng Hua and the others leave.
As soon as they left, Sun Tingfang knelt down immediately.
Zhang Daniu said nothing.
Sun Tingfang raised his eyes and looked at him: "Daniu, I know that my Zhang Long is a piece of shit and has harmed you. He admits all of this, but I beg you not to expose the matter between him and He Qing."
Zhang Daniu pointed at his head and said, "He has hurt me so much, why should I help him hide it?"
Sun Tingfang really had no choice but to tell him about He Qing's pregnancy: "Zhang Long deserves to die, but the baby in He Qing's belly shouldn't die! Daniu, I beg you to leave a descendant for our family!" If He Qing was betrayed and put in jail, there would probably be two deaths.
Sun Tingfang didn't know how she walked out of Zhang Daniu's house, but the stone in her heart finally fell to the ground.
But after these few days of torture, she seemed to have suddenly aged by a dozen years. I heard that she fell ill as soon as she returned.
As soon as she left, Zeng Hua asked Zhang Daniu, what did Sun Tingfang say?
Zhang Daniu waved his hand: "Nothing."
"You kid, you don't tell the truth to your mother."
Zhang Daniu tried to evade the question: "Mom, I want to eat chicken."
Zeng Hua immediately lost her temper: "Okay, Mom will go and scoop it for you now."
When Zhang Daniu's condition got much better, Zeng Hua remembered to thank Jiang Xiaohe, so she went to Zhang Fu's house with a basket of eggs. But Wang Qiuxia said with an unnatural look, "Xiaohe drove the ox cart to the town early in the morning. The shop is busy, so she went to check it out."
"What an unfortunate coincidence."
Zeng Hua didn't notice that something was wrong with her, so he gave her the egg and said a few polite words.
Wang Qiuxia asked: "How did this happen? Why did Zhang Long beat up Daniu?"
Zeng Hua got angry when he talked about this: "It is said that Zhang Long was secretly taking a shit in the woods over there. Daniu saw a shadow there and ran over to see it. Zhang Long thought it was a wild bird, so he threw a stone at it. He never thought it was a person, so he was a little scared and threw Daniu into the river."
Wang Qiuxia sighed after hearing this.
"How did the government decide that?"
"It's said that he was exiled to the west to do hard labor for a few years. That's really a bargain for him."
Wang Qiuxia didn't interrupt, so Zeng Hua just sat for a while and then went back because he still needed to take care of his family.
Wang Qiuxia chopped up the grass she had cut and took it to the backyard to feed the chickens.
On the other side, Jiang Xiaohe arrived in the town. She first went to the shop to look at the account book, and then Chen Dafu came over.
"Business these past few days has not been as good as before."
Jiang Xiaohe frowned slightly: "What's going on?"
Chen Dafu said: "There are several new hotpot restaurants like ours opened in this town, and their prices are cheaper than ours."
Jiang Xiaohe nodded.
Chen Dafu added, "However, I also secretly went to take a look. Although they are doing the same hot pot business as us, the taste is still far from ours, so Madam, don't worry too much. After a while, these customers will come back."
"Ah."
After Chen Dafu finished speaking, he went to get busy.
Wang Hong ran up and said, "Cousin, how is Daniu? I heard he has woken up, but we haven't had time to go back to see him."
"Don't worry, it's okay."
Hong Wa heaved a sigh of relief when she heard this: "That's good, that's good."
After saying that, he just turned around to do his own thing, then turned back, touched his head and said: "Oh, and that Boss Meng came to look for you twice, but saw that you were not in the store. He also heard that something happened at home, so he asked me to bring a message for him. If you come back, let him know."
